thats the firmware I have and I haven't seen any newer yet
as you might have thought, the setting for photo location is in the camera settings
start the camera, click the spanner, then click the down arrow which appears in the same location as the spanner, then on the left click the top left icon for general settings. The middle bottom option is "save to" so click that and select either Phone or Memory Card
The arrow!
I didn't see it, it's ok now.
I have this little annoying thing that each time I exit camera, Transcriber appears on scree.
Mizzle,
good to know the new FW is ready!
Is it BETTER??

Doministry,
Hope all goes well for you with your X1.
You were a symbian user, werent you?
I love the phone, warts and all, but i came from a k800i, so might not be so bad to learn, for me.
I am steadily finding all the bits and pieces that do things my way, rather than SE/Winmo's way, and it is getting better week by week.
Love it!

I was an UIQ user and loved it, regeret the death of it.
But just now WM looks great too in the shape of X1 and I'm also hoping for good.
Looks and feels great!!!

windows mobile firmware upgrades wipe everything so that when you turn it on after the upgrade, you go through the same steps you did the first time you started the phone

I would reccomend you to run a backup before you run a ROM upgrade, if thats what you mean.
I'm new to winmo, but i would assume that with a ROM flash, the phone would be "factory reset", and all those personal settings would be gone, yes.
I would also assume that, restoring a backup should put them back, unless something in the new ROM is redically different.
I will let the Winmo regulars correct me if i'm wrong, hopefully, as i will be in that position soon, if Mizzle is correct.

Why can they not release FW R3 when it is ready? |

Just wanted to be sure since WinMo on X1 requires much more personalisation than UIQ3 on P1 and will be pain to set it manually again.
How do you backup than??

^^^ I didn't even know there was a version 2 firmware. What was fixed?
As far as backing up, I use spb Backup and it has a ROM update option. I haven't used that feature yet, but, I think it takes into account that you are restoring files to a newly updated firmware.

Wow!
Thanks again, Whybe.
I use SPB backup, but didnt know about the rom update thing.
You are sure learning this stuff faster than me. hehe.
Trouble, now is, with Mizzle mentioning the new ROM, we'll all be impatient till it comes out. I trust Mizzles information, so it can only be a matter of time.
Ah well. At least i can experiment a bit more with some 3rd party stuff, knowing a hard reset (ROM update) is on its way, if my X1 gets a bit flaky.
Stay happy, all.

I haven't noticed it under normal day-to-day use, but it can happen. Nothing that a soft-reset doesn't fix.
It has happened when I am having a field-day, installing, uninstalling apps (especially freeware), seeing what I like and don't like. I mostly blame major malfunctions/slowdowns on poorly written apps or tweaks--not Windows Mobile itself.
Some things I do as a habit:
1) Soft reset daily. It doesn't appear neccessary, but I do it because it can only benefit.
2) Don't close programs after they are run the first time. Let them remain in the task manager.
3) If you absolutely are not going to use the program again, THEN close it fully.
4) In Settings->Task Manager->Button, I have "Enable the X button to end running programs" checked and "End programs by tapping and holding X" selected. "Enable Quick Menu on Today" is also checked.
5) Keep my X1 fully backed-up (with spb Backup) just in case a new app really screws up the stability. I can always go back to where I know everything worked perfectly.

Superb, so it works fine!
I have the same settings of Task Manager.
I understand soft reset as just rebooting the device, right?
P.S. So, spb Backup does nicely backup also settings??

Are any of you using any of the touch-flo 3d cabs, as a panel, or otherwise, and if so, are there any stability issues?
I tried both XDA cabs, early on, and found my X1 would freeze when changing panels.
I would like to have Touch-flo 3D, but not if it is going to be problematic.
I read on XDA people having mixed results with it, so thought i would ask here. I value your opinions.
Cheers.
