Nope! X1 from era is clean from the carrier stuff! It's generic UK version so there is nothing (not even internet connection setting or omnix shortcut) added from them. It doesn't have simlock and of course it has 2y warranty. I have Plus simcard in it and it works like a charm. After the first start it automatically set up all the plus internet and mms settings.

Ahh thank you for that. So your battery does not drain so quickly and is half empty by early afternoon? I have an XDA serra and battery life is bad. I have just got a new battery for it, will see how it goes over the next two days. If it doess drain again then i know it is a design fault and i will be swapping it for the X1 !!!!
Lower down the brightness upto 60% which is pretty decent. My p1i use to work for 2 days without re-charge with 60% brightness.
Peace

No, it's either completely empty or almost empty 3/4 of the way into my day. Figuring in the above mentioned use, plus the new apps I just got, I figure it'll last me half a day before it's completely empty now?... Not 100% sure tbh, but I'll report back here with what kind of an impact that software has on my X1's overall day to day battery life over the next couple of days K?

You know what? I didn't figure in screen brightness... :/ I currently have mine set to auto-dim and auto adjust the backlight. Maybe I'll try lowering the brightness (but not by 60% like you mentioned) and see what that does for my battery life as well. Thanks for your now very obvious sounding suggestion... |

Wait, how do you adjust the screen bightness in WM again?... I looked under the Power management option and the only option for the screen is "auto adjust backlight", which I already had checked off... I also already had the phone itself set up to "turn off" after a minute of inactivity on battery power when left unattended. I have to say that I'm pretty diligent about "turning the phone off" with the power switch when not actively in use, or after just doing something with it... I also looked in the Advanced Configuration Tool for the option to dim the screen, but had no luck. @ Indiandawg you do know that this is a WM powered phone right, and not a UIQ powered phone, right?... |

If you go to settings -> power -> backlight tab and uncheck "auto adjust backlight" box - 2 sliders should appear: "on battery power" and "on external power" slider. That's how it's on my X1 - ROM: 1.02.931.3 - 08/29/08

It has nothing to do with the advanced tab. You can set up dim timer (1st option) - in my case 10 sec, and also screen shut off timer (in my case 40 sec). So basically in backlight tab you can set up constant backlight level and in the advanced tab you can set timers for dimming and complete screen shut off. After unchecking auto backlight option the device will not use ambient light sensor (saving energy when set to low values) and the screen will still go to sleep after previously set timers.

Btw, I have to say that given all of the issues I've had with this phone, I have to give SE credit were credit is due in regards to this phones antenna and reception. I was worried after reading several reviews (while researching it) that plainly stated that reception in fringe areas was/is bad with this phone. Using this thing all day today while Christmas shopping, I was pleasantly surprised to note that I got great coverage at the mall in my town and relatively good reception at the school I'm currently going to all last week! These are both places that I either got a weak signal at, or no signal at all before using my old N95 8GB and current Tmob service! The sound quality is also superb using this handset. People sound crystal clear and loud over the earpiece. The sound and reception on this thing is the best I've ever heard, or had the fortune to use (respectively) out of ANY phone I've ever owned or used.
I am however having a problem from time to time answering the actual calls as they come in. Sometimes I'll push the send/recieve key when a call comes in while using the headset or car deck connected through bluetooth and notice a pause, or no sound at all. It's strange and feels like the phone is hiccuping. Anyone else experiencing something like this?... It only happens from time to time, but has me totally perplexed as to it's origin...
@ Wirral Bagpuss, while at the mall all day today I listened to music on the phone using the included headset (which wouldn't answer calls using the mics built in button oddly enough) for about 4 hours nonstop, the longest time so far using this particular phone btw. I also used to the phone this morning during my work out to listen to music over the speaker for about 45 minutes and used the phones stereo bluetooth connection with my car deck for about 30 minutes to listen to music in the car while driving around. I also made and received a few calls while at the mall today, and am sad to report that my X1 only made it to about 5 pm before crapping out on me, which in my opinion is never a good thing.  At this point maybe I'll invest in a spare battery for it... It's currently charging, so I can have a full charge before hitting the bar tonight. Hope that helps. I'm going to adjust the screens brightness like others have mentioned to see what affect this has on my X1's battery life, though I don't think it'll do much since I always "shut off" the screen using the power button after each use. We'll see...

@borisisinvin, okay I know you wiped your hands of me but just a question, did you use your N95 8GB for stereo bluetooth as much as you claim you do for your X1? All I know is that on my K800 and W910, using A2DP sucks quite alot of juice. 4 hours is a long time to run a continuous bluetooth connection if you think about it. That's not a "standby" bt cnnection as in the case of a bluetooth handsfree - that's a full time full bandwidth four hour bluetooth connection.
It actually sounds to me like you do quite a bit with your X1 and running out by 5pm doesn't surprise me given the usage you quote.

No, you misread my post. I used the included (in the box) wired headset all day today while at the mall (at the lowest volume setting on the side rocker), and only used the stereo bluetooth for about 30 minutes total (the time it took me to get to the mall and back in my car). With my Nokia I used it daily in conjunction with stereo bluetooth and my car deck for about a hour and a half total in my daily commute (both back and forth). Let me put it this way, even though I had a car adapter for the Nokia at hand in the car with me always, I rarely ever used it with that phone. It may have something to do with the larger screen and more power hungry OS?... |
