Ok i just had an interesting talk with an SE service guy on the official german X1 support hotline. I was complaining about why my selfrecorded videos are lagging like hell when i set "videoframerate: high" in options. So the hotline guy tested it on his x1 aswell and then said that he has the problem too and its normal. He said there is nothing we can do about it. I mean i paid so much for this phone and then this **** happens...
Is this maybe a issue of the german R3A Rom? Can maybe someone who has an american or uk R3A Rom tell me if he has the same problem?
Sorry for my bad english but im really upset about this

silver x1a here.. and yes... same problem... very upsetting indeed... it's normal
I have NAM R2A and videos I record don't even play back. Just a black screen and a stuttering sound. It's ridiculous.
Can you upload the video so i can see how it runs on mine?
its pretty annoying though isnt it - i mean when u spend £500 on a phone you expect it to work and have good support yet you get this
I just spoke with a friend who has the XPERIA X1 Generic Switzerland R3AA007. And he said he has no video problems. Can i flash the swiss rom to my german x1 or will there be any issues with my operator? like no connectivity or something like that.
if you flash the generic one there will be a connection setup program which will aquire all of the settings i think
do i have to do hardspl first or will it work with stockspl because its a official rom?
Generic R3A UK ROM here. No problems with playback.
My guess is that people who have problems with video have messed up their video drivers. I have done it in the past and the only thing that worked was a hard reset.

yea i believe so
I have the same problem. Just know that when you copy the file to your computer and play it with for excample VLC player, it doesn't play laggy. And if you play the videos with Pocket Coreplayer on your Xperia, it is 'less' laggy.
Ok i just flashed the XPERIA X1 Generic Switzerland R3AA007 and it works!!!! i always thought its because the german r3a is ****ed up and now im sure it is.

no problem here man... not laggy at all... but I hate the quality u.u even in high

overall camera quality is another topic

Its 18 months or so since I joined this forum, and it was because of my new MDA Vario II.
I'm now due for an upgrade, and there is only one phone I want - the III.
So, tell me - what should I do? I'm so confused and disapointed. I use my Vario II to stream YouTube video and surf the web, and from what I've seen, the III isn't up to it.
Please tell me I'm wrong and I should call for my upgrade tomorrow !!!!
Ratzz
Get the kaiser
Seriously, do you want to buy mine off me / swap? T-mobile branded, but you can flash / do what you like with it.
I really can't use it as an everyday phone. On another forum (hexus.net) the guy said simply - it's not a phone as such. It's a tool for techs / devs or whatever who need the extra functions. But for a phone it lacks in many usability ways that your average nokia / SE / samsung does not. It's a shame really, the device has so much potential to be awesome, it's completely the software side of things that lets it down.
It has dropped a fair few useful features from WM5 / earlier versions too - like having a t9 text input rather than a touchscreen keyboard. Now you *have* to get the stylus out if you want to send a quick message without altering from portrait to landscape to use the hard keyboard, which takes around 2 - 3 seconds anyway for the hardware to redraw it.
Looks like HTC are working on the vids driver issue. Someone has suggested a patch in feb/march. Have a read of some of the posts on it.
take the plunge. get one.

Yea I read that. But also read a post saying that there is no driver due for release since there is no ATI Imageon hardware built in to have drivers for. Who knows? There comes a point where you need to say you've had a product that hasn't delivered what you expected for long enough. However, it is full of features so maybe a good choice. But if I was buying right now with the knowledge I have now I'd probably not get a smart phone but something nice and simple that could perfectly perform the duties I wanted it to
So short answer: it's up to you
Thanks for that feedback guys. I'm pretty use to my MDA and its functionality, even though making a call can be sometimes difficult.
So, is video playback as bad as is mentioned?
Also, I use voice dialing and the hands-free speaker. Are these functions on the III?
cheers guys,
Ratzz
I watch youtube on mine all the time. I think it is just fine. I have been using the Kaiser now for 5 months and I love it and would not make another choice.
kaiser really is something
Yes those feature are in it out of the box. U should get one. All in all, it is the best pda out yet. I personally love mine, and with the right rom u can make it fly. It doesnt have problems with any 320X240 video, and with the new coreplayer 1.1.3 not even with bigger ones so get it. It's a great pda phone!

The Vario II is the HTC Hermes. Have a look here at the upgrading forum. There are some stickies on HardSPL, which you must follow before upgrading the ROM. http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=306
I have had a lot of people complain to me in last 2 days (since I got the phone) that my voice to them sounds messed up, as if there's some disturbance.
I'm a religious blackberry user, and switched form 8320 (curve) to this one. The speaker quality extrememly sucks.
Is there a patch or an update or something I could use to enhance mic / speaker quality?
Thank you
I am having this same issue...and not all calls are this way. I've tried Mic boost/auto-adjust, but with no impact. I'm hoping a cure is found or I'll be ditching this phone and moving on.....I work on my cell and can't have these sorts of quality issues.

Same here!
I thought the device was bad and had it replaced, but the new one has exactly the same issue. I've been able to make some clear sounding calls, so I'm not sure if its actually a hardware/mic problem, of some kind of disturbance caused by the software processing.
Yes.. I've picked up my diamond yesterday.. and same problem here.. friends describe my voice as somewhat robotic.. not exactly what I expect from a 600 euro phone...
could be a problem with your band.
try calling through gsm only.
How do I do that ?
I'm a newbie on this area (my last phone was actually a nokia 6230...)
please anyone???
i really can't use the phone right now.. and I need it for work..
That's a lot of people with a serious problem. Does anyone not have this problem?
Should be in network settings otherwise have a look through the manual??. Im sure it would be in the manual somewhere.
very serious indeed.. can't find it in my manual.. but im not really an advanced user (yet) so that's my bad i guess..
fact is this phone shouldn't have this problem ofc
Yes, I don't have any problem.
Same problem here, people commenting that it sounds broken up, or through water sometimes.
This is a serious problem, surely testing would have found an issue like this, or am I being a it wishful that this handset was actually tested before launch!!
M.
no problem at all. very good sound quality!
i wonder what ppl are going to complain about next? judging from the posts here i must have the one, the only the greatest htc diamond produced.
i do have a few complains but not even 10% of what i am reading here
damn!at least the color you like? maybe the black is not black enough
Are you getting bad voice quality while using a headset as well or just when using the the handsets microphone?
Also maybe watch where you're fingers are placed, if I'm not mistaken the microphone is under the phone, next to the usb port... so no fingers there while talking

Dude, this isn't whining...its just not working the way it should! Plain and simple. My old QTEK and HTC's all have cristal clear sound compared to this.

Ye came this morning.
Firstly, stupid O2 software, really laggy and giong through some of the guides I can't find device name ROM etc and has been dumbed down and crippled. Im probably over reacting, but evenwith a hard reset it is still here.

Its flat, matt backed.
And yes Opera, Youtube, Windows Live & MSN are preinstalled.
And im my opinion the O2 firmware is great.
Ive installed a tweak program from this forum, and an autorotate in any prog tweak. With those im more than happy.
Got mine on friday.
Really pleased flat back, and after installing a couple of tweaks touchflo looks like the HTC version and is working a lot more speedy.
Only thing I'm struggling with is lack of quickgps (which is on my friends official HTC Touch Pro) getting a gps lock seems to take far too long. I've tried all the threads about installing it on this forum with no luck, any ideas on this would be great. Otherwise I'll just put up with it.
Hi there, I haven't been able to check out XDA too often in the past few weeks, so I'm not certain if I missed something. What do you guys know about a (possible) R4A? There was that game, Xtrakt, and other stuff, that should've been included with R3A - well, it wasn't. So what are they gonna do with this stuff? I mean, of course, we have it. But officially it has never been realesed. Will there be an R4A withz these goodies? If so, when do you think will it be available?
Its a grey, grey area - According to SE there are no major problems basically that need fixing so, no need for R4A. Then again SE isnt a reliable source :S
Also why would they give us new stuff when they cant even be bothered to update their website, on the x1 site CNN panel is still listed as "coming soon".
Above statements are true as well as Xtrakt game was officially released on SE's Korean website as a "fun & download".
I see no R4A update in the future.
SE customer service has said so and the always reliable Pavel has also said so.
Welcome to Sony Ericsson, Kings of Extortion. You want new things, buy an X2.........no thanks.
SE should sell their x2 strictly to the korean market for the mere fact that they released spb mobile shell 3 and xtrakt officially on the korean market and left us out on in all other regions, that is simply saying we dont deserve the good stuff and yet have to rely on leak sources for those goods, make matters worse they restricted everyone from other regions from downloading anything from the korean site, soooooo....SE is clearly telling us outside of korea to kiss their arse, well, i have done it but i wont be doing it again

It's simple:
-xTrakt -> gone to X2 (except for Korea who has it officialy for X1)
-panel manager -> optimised and gone to X2
-camera with geotag -> optimised and gone to X2
-WM 6.5 -> only for X2
So there is just one question: when will people start to understand that there is no more support from SE for Xperia X1?
It was only a rumour about the R3a update with all the extras. When itje posted it we thought it may be on the way but turned out to be a simple bug fix. (it was itje that posted it ?)
The R3a update we all wanted was only really features from the X2 and as far as SE are concerned no bugs no update.
would really appreciate an r4 update tho........

omg all that flash movie and everything! Sony must hate us because that website for one actually has panels actually listed - two actually works and 3 is awesome!!!!
In comparison to the x1 UK sight the korea one is amazing! why is sony being like this and they actually have the roms listed! Se still says the x1's last update was in feburary....
why have we been left out in the cold...
edit: thinking about it now - maybe it just sold really well in korean....
edit: that is weird - if you go to sony home page then select the language as korea it only takes you to the x1 page... is this like the first sony phone in korea?
i will answer that for ya
Once you are outside Korea, SE doesn't give a **** about you and your x1
why do you think they never gave us xtrakt?
why do you think they never gave us SPB mobile shell panel 3?
why do you think their x1 site is the only one different?
There is nothing special about us who spent nearly $700 USD on a device, unless you are in Korea

Unfortunately, for the rest of the smartphone market, they probably have something like that cooking...
hmmmm...we don't really need r4a, as soon as we have a leak of the x2 or if it's released, we should be able to create an all singing all dancing x2 rom with manila2.5 and titanium. The x2 keyboard doesnt look much better or the keys or anything, the only improvements are the camera and gsensor!
I changed to WM 6.5 last night. I had the AT&T 6.1 rom before.
With both ROMs, my camera is just black. Doesn't show anything at all (not even darkly.
Any ideas? It's probably not software if it doesn't change when I update the ROM right?
I don't care for 6.5 much, so I'm going to try another 6.1 rom in a minute...
Thanks
Your radio ROM is incorrect for whatever hardware/ROM revision you are using. Experiment around with different radios until you get one that allows your camera to work.
Nice of you to search for the oldest problem out there.

Thanks for the advice. I'll just assume in the future that if I search and find nothing, that I must have used the wrong terms, and shouldn't bother asking in the future. Glad you saved me.
I did search. Now, when I searched "radio rom camera problem" (after the 1st response) I got tons of hits. When I searched "8925 camera is black only" I got nothing relevant. It's new to me.
Well, oddly enough, I encountered a much more serious problem with the ROM I was using, so I went back to 6.1 (I don't like 6.5 for some reason)
After loading the AT&T 6.1 rom, the camera works...
Thats because the ATT ROM has an included radio, which evidentally is one that works with your hardware revision and enables the camera.

Ok- So Radio rom can be flashed with or without the OS rom? Good to know.
The radio rom has to match the hardware? Or the OS?
I'd like to give the WM6.5 rom another try, if I can get everything to work

A couple years late to the Kaiser party, but I still love my Kaiser and it my not be as flashy and my be a tick slower and may not have the spacious screen that the HD2 has, but with a custom rom and a little tweaking, it does everything An HD2 does, and I love my keyboard.
Windows Mobile isn't dead, it was just taking a long vacation while Steve and Bill and the others were playing the " fat cat " billionaire roles to the hilt while the company went down the toilet.
Hopefully Windows Phone 7 series is the start of a resurgence that will integrate Windows, Windows Mobile, Zune OS and XBox into a fully integrated powerhouse, before it is too late.
Maybe Apple overtaking them is exactly what they need.

It was also on the rom flashing tutorial
7. After I flash a Rom I dont have any sound in calls and the camera is black
The Radio has to match the version of Rom you flash i.e. WM6.1, an incorrect Radio will give sound and camera problems. Read The Ultimate Radio Thread to find a Radio that matches the Rom there are lots to try on there if one doesnt work then try another.
