slightly off topic... - XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey i know this i kind of off topic but... dont know where else to post or any other site with the brains thats on here...
I was just wondering would it be possible to port winmo 6.5 to the Satio... with like the camera UI... or would it be like a MOUNTAIN of work?... just curious cuz i cant switch from winmo now that ive been using for awhile... its just the best!!!

Is Satio already out??
first i think it would be very hard, it uses symbian. it would be have driver issue's, i think. it wouldn't be easy. it uses different CPU than the WM phones.

creative imagination! I know that wm6 has been run in iphone ,but performs badly.
I'm curious about that what's point of Satio attracting you?

the design is just off the charts!!! the camera, the processor and its pretty slim...
but i will probobly just buy the X2 hehe i own the x1 now and its the best phone ive used so far just hope the x2 can top it!!!
.

I have just purchased the new satio. The camera is fantastic, build quality excelent and the screen is up there with the iphone. But the s60 operating system is a bit of a let down. I love the new WM6.5 (I have it running on an ipaq 614). It is way beyond me to even begin looking at porting the operating system across but is there anyone out there who would like to give it a go. I would be very grateful and I suspect there may be others who share my view.

Windows Mobile 6.5 Fugly, Ok, or Sexy?

Ok I think the UI in 6.5 is ugly as sin and it actually requires additional steps to proceed with basic operations.The new "honeycomb" action, which separates icons according to the lame beehive effect rather than the traditional grid does not optimize user friendliness or user interface.
Well I wanted to hear from other windows mobile users to see what they think of the new OS. Do you think it is ugly as hell, decent, or sexy?
***Please note this poll is based on LOOKS and UI
it's decent, not that ground breaking market blowing innovation that windows mobile has to come up with to compete with..
i wouldnt buy a 6.5 device because its 6.5 (i maybe wont even upgrade my rom to 6.5(cooked))
from what i've seen theres nothing with a more user friendly approach than 6.1.. i like my tf3d the new today screen on 6.5 is just crap
but i have to say that the honeycomb looks nice, havent tried it.. but it looks nice but i'm not sure if it would increase my user experience with it. i would say not
Honeycompb is more than ugly!
Today screen is exactly the same as my 6.1 ROM of my Excalibur smartphone
Oerhaps is more user friendly (At this point is the least MS can do to still alive)
I don´t really like it
I just find it amusing that they find it so difficult to come up with something fit for today's tech.
The pros & cons on UI
The pros
Full image on today
Nicely glass bars
Not at its full works and not so nicely titanium plugin on today but at the end... is a today plug in....
Honeycomb is nicely but zooming images ha s a little scratch on everyone...
Amazing we can change all the icons easily and other fickn **** things! like selection textures and labels...
The cons...
Is a beta work... but is god damn FAST!!!!! even 6.1
Final Score.....
Decent
no doubt, it kicks out 6.1 of my life easily
Plain and simple...it's UGLY! Honeycomb??? Come on guys (Microsoft), can't you come up with something better? Actually, someone else already has. HTC (TF3D) and SPB (SPB Mobile 3). These two kicks the ass out of this dumb interface (I'm speaking of looks). Does it work better than 6.1? I don't know...maybe, that'd be nice, obviously. But if I had a device with this on it, I would STILL have one of the afore mentioned UI's installed and being used.
When I first saw an image of a phone with this bee **** on it, I actually laughed. I thought it was a joke. Honestly. Then, I realize it's real. Very disappointing Microsoft. This'll be the Windows ME of Windows Mobile OS's.
its better than 6.1
too bad htc TF3D beat them to a new ui
l don't think it's ugly. maybe the decent could be better.everybody could finally accept this new os I think. maybe you could say that its ui is so similar to the smartphone. but the actually is that we can gain more fun from the moving of our figures. but we should clear that the wm 6.5 is only the transition of wm 7. then ,could accept it ?
yes...
is like the great amazing change betwen WM6 and 6.1 jajajaja it was just the.... SMS threaded?
Come on guys.... let it run... maybe when we got in our hands the new core 6.X.XXXX we will need great devices to gain run the new os...
peace guys.
it looks ok for me...but I'm still playing with & customizing a super fast beta right now.
I am glad to see this poll is leaning towards "decent" rather than SeXxy or Fugly. I always appreciate other users views after I have already decided my thoughts on something.
I think its sexy.

all You UK disappointed X1 users... an alternative - N900. maemo phone.

http://www.mobilephonesdirect.co.uk/Brands/Nokia/Nseries-Multimedia-Phones/sb489/n443/p26078.aspx
well... mr Gates. Gentlemen from SE. time to leave. bye bye..
oh... btw, if You don't know this device yet:
http://maemo.nokia.com/n900/
according to the engadget show, its a poor device and there is a problem when the touchscreen does not work half the time with the gestures.
well... what do You understand under "poor device"? have You checked the specs for it? have You seen latest videos? (not early prototype) well... iphone 3gs cpu/gpu (600mhz a8 cortex), sliding qwerty, wvga, resistive touch screen, 1gb ram (256+768 virtual), 32gb storage+micro sdhc slot, 5mp camera recording 800x480 videos (25 fps), agps, digital compass, accelerometer, maemo linux system, tv out, irda, bt, wifi, 3g...
well...?
[edit] silly me... I forgot to add- 3.5 audio jack, fm TRANSMITTER, stereo loud speakers, and maybe some more that I don't remember... how cool is that??
[edit2] http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/01/video-nokia-n900-put-through-its-paces-in-italian/ if that's not responsive/fast then I don't know what is...
Nokia are good phones but only on the paper. "It doesnt do what it says on the tin". It never does (remember my 9210i communicator, my last Nokia device)
If you want a phone to be ready out from the box (which, in my opinion, is boring), this kind of stuff is for you. Recently had my friends 5800XM for couple of days..Nightmare!! (try to use calculator in landscape mode ) I have no idea why people love this phone. Good music player??? Maybe..
Nokia dont do "tailored to requirements" phones, they put all things into one device and wait for the customers that dont know how to use it...
i think wm 6.5 will change the way people see wm, i mean the 6.1 and older gui is a real turn off and now the new gui in wm 6.5 is nice, the only one thing 6.5 is missing is a transitional animated interface...the default animation slows the device when activated and its not even pleasant to see
depends on if wm brings more eye candy then i will stay, well thats if apple doesn't release an iphone with a higher resolution and a qwerty keyboard
there is no doubt about it, wm is the most powerful os, its just the current gui makes you feel as tho you are using a pc with windows 98...ironic to see that wm 6.1 still wears the windows 98 look and soo many OS were born that looks great, especially their icons...speaking of icons, i dont get it as to why most of wm icons have that rugged edge look and not smooth edges, M$ really needs to get their act together...i hate to see some of the icons in wm bcos of their ugly look, most look like 8 bit icons
hm... well it's a good point, but I think I've seen enough. I'll leave x1 in the drawer, just in case, and I'll try this whole maemo with widgets. on one hand it is a good thing that You can modify winmo so much, but on the other most of the time spent with the device is wasted with efforts to change the way it looks and works, because it sucks out of the box. saying that, guess what...? I've tried many roms with all funky interfaces just to realise stock rom is most stable and fast (tweaked ofcourse) and the only thing for me was to install spb ms3 to make it look better. I really hate new wm 6.5 looks and titanium is just terrible imho.
what I like in n900 is that interface looks great ootb, strong cpu and gpu gives it a good kick and this damn thing just works. x2 is a major fail comparing to this sweet device. just wait few months... You'll see how is it going to conquer the market.
the specs are good but if u watch the engadget show that they put up a few days ago u will see that they did not like it and that he was doing gestures in front on a live show and it was not working. in the end they have used the device, we have not so i suggest u take there advice. nokia as a company is crumbling and they very rarely make a good phone, even though there is always lots of hype around them. think the n97, there flagship device.

The new HTC Leo does this and the cpu is 1GHz. the RAM of the nokia is 768mb virtual RAM? 5MP cam?? thats so 2009! FM transmitter is the only new 'gadget' on that. Oh 32GB sdhc cards will be out soon so that wouldnt be a seling point for me.
Didnt you know you cant big up Nokias on a HTC fanboy forum!
lol... ok guys. I'll better stfu now I guess I am the only one sooo in to something new.
leo? well... snapdragon doesn't convince me a lot. less than a8 cortex with powervr combo. the other thing is that leo doesn't have qwerty keys, so a deal breaker for me... I am trying to find a good alternative for winmo as well.
oh well... let's wait for official reviews, then I shall decide finally.
Sounds nice, but then again the X1 sounded nice and look where that go us. Also its Nokia, and Nokia dont do nice interface, Nokia interface is always ugly and not very appealing. This would have been amazing if it were samsung or LG or SE

If you had asked me 12 months ago I would also have said the qwerty keyboard was a deal breaker. And a qwerty keyboard is the tits, but for me, id rather have the big screen as im watchin a lot of tv at the mo

Just wait for the Touch Pro3 and SPB MS4. How's that sound?
well ... you forgot to mention smth when you listed the cool features
weight 181 g
hmm and it doesnt seem to have any physical control key ...
design: like a brick ... my opinion ...
and i dont have experiences with this OS
in my opinion omnia pro and x2 are the best at the mom.... for the business and also multimedia guy.
well... You have arrow keys on hard keys, also the way it looks is more... hm... cool? at least less gay than tp2 imho. I am fed up with all those round shapes and chrome finishes.
anyway... I'll get it and if it's gonna suck, I'll give it back or it will land on ebay. ... but something tells me, that it is going to be a first wide popular maemo device. it's like icrap 3gs with **** loads of hardware added and complex, linux based system on board. I am almost convinced.... 97%
Too brickish, I'll stick to my X1 for now. An upgrade for me would be with same form factor, bigger screen, lighter, thinner and faster.

Totally agreed,,, the design of this phone looks as crap as all nokia phone are & I bet the UI will be as UGLY, as annoying & as un-friendly as nokia have always been making... With good specs a phone should look fantastic as well like X1, TD2, TPro etc (not like this thick-brick)... No offence to Bronx or any one...
Edit: I should mention an edge that it has over X1 & TD2 etc... if you have a problem or fight occassionally THIS CAN BE USED AS A heavy WEAPON...
you know what they say: a pint and a fight - perfect British night. ok, maybe it looks more plastic than x1, but more likely it's gonna be build bit better than ever cracking xperia.
look people - I am not trying to convince anyone. I just want to point out another alternative to SE, HTC, WM, iPhone... all those companies have failed to provide solid product, so it is time for me to try something else. I loved my n70, I loved my n95 8gb. now I dare to say f... WM. I'll roam in here from time to time, as x1 stays with me, but in october I am trying something new, because of SE assholes. come on... after all this crap with x1 they should give us more support to wash that bad taste they left.
x1 is quite good device, but I won't forgive them cracks, ****ty video playback and lack of further software support.
[EDIT] btw - n900 110.9 × 59.8 × 18 (19.55 at thickest part) mm, xperia x1 110.5 x 52.6 x 17 mm - well? just a bit wider and a tad thicker. looks neat and tidy no matter what You guys say

Dude samsung has only crappy phones ( yes good fast hardware but they miss buttons.. ok omnia qerty might be interesting .. )
LG is worst.. ( after i saw lg arena.. lol )
Perhaps n900 will get uber perhaps nokia ****s up
yeah... we shall see.
i would have bought this about a year ago to replace my n770.
i was interested in it till i saw the specs..... but the biggest turn off for me is the cpu, ram and no portrait mode.
maybe i could live with the cpu if the ram was much larger, i could care less about the virtual ram but it would have been a nice supplement to a larger ram anyways.
i could also live with the no portrait mode because i know the maemo group has some pretty good developers but why wait when it should have came out that way from the factory.
for me, phone is a year too late and ill stick to the x1 for now because no other phone is worth the upgrade right now

X2 Com Manager??

Has anyone found that CAB/package anywhere???
The device haven't been released yet wait untill it releases there wil probably be a x2 rom dumped remade so the x1 will run smooth
Man, I can't wait for some X2 based ROMS, these Leo based Roms are way to buggy and slow.. not to mention my aversion to TF3D (sorry guys).

U mean al those 6.5 roms out there?, think like this, x1 and x2 have the exact same hardware except x2 go accelerometer and some other minor uppgrades, and as far as i know the 6.5 runs so smooth it can possibly go on x2, so if someone dumps the rom from it al the devs will wont have to make those thousands registry tweaks cuz sony ericsson already made em thats why peeps wait on the x2 rom cuz it will be insanly smooth( i hope )

Remember how smooth R1A was? I'm guessing we need a few more months at least for a good X2 dump.

You are right , but with a little bit modification the first x2 rom releases will prob do the thing, i dont want to buy the x2 cuz its basicly x1 but a new shell, new os lol, shell on x1 is a beuty compared to x2 lol! and the os(rom) will be working on our x1 so why spend 700 bucks on a new "x1" !!?

Still the design is plastic and more fragile than a steady metall case the phone is bigger more clumsy and if u have x1 why buy x2 if u can get the same goodies on ur current phone? (finger keyboard v2 is the soloution)
I agree, whats the point in buying a new x1 with a 8mp camera..I don't even use the camera that often and when I do 3mp is sufficient. But thats alot of people's opinions, a friend of mine upgraded a week ago to another X1 and now he's just patiently waiting for the X2 rom to be dumped and to be quite honest I think I will do the same end November since it will save me a huge pay in plus the X1's design is perfect if compared with the X2's cheap plastice look. Gotta love the shiny metal cover. SE should have stuck with HTC, the X1 is my first SE phone that has never broken in it's full 2 years of use. Since HTC is out of the picture I think the cycle will probably start repeating itself again. Not that I'm complaining since the X2 screw up will add another year's life to the X1. SE should have switched to the snapdragon 1ghz cpu and stayed with HTC to create another monster what the X2 could've been. Even the Nokia N900 is copying the Xperia panel interface and just goes to show how much the X1 achieved. And yes after reading this post I written I see what a X1 fanboy I really am..but then again..after using the X1 how can anyone feel differently. I really did expect a bit more from the X2 though. Luckily the X2 rom will probably work out of the box on the X1 so looking forward to that.

I agree, I expected more from the X2, and I really fail to see how SE plans on attracting X1 buyers.
However, I really don't think HTC is the answer to SEs poblems. Honestly, it seems kind of counter intuitive to me when companies use HTC as their OEM, especially these days when it is trying to brand itself. The X1s biggest competitor when it came out was the Touch Pro. I'm sure HTC knew the X1 was a better phone, so what incentive did they have to really allow it to compete with their own devices. That's probably the reason we are missing things like an accelerometer, a 3.2 inch screen, massive launch delays, and probably the reason cheap plastics that crack were used. Its also probably one of the reasons Palm chose not to use HTC for the hardware of the Pre, as it had done in the past with the Treo Pro and others. Foxconn on the other hand doesn't make their own competitor to the X1 that they stand to lose money on. They do however make the iPhone, which is a stunning peice of hardware, so I'm hoping for good things further on down the line a la X3/X10
Hmm, im glad we have x1 lol, and soon we will have x2 in a better case (rom in our x1 for peeps that dont understand)

Hmm now that you mention it, it makes sense that the X1 cracked for no reason at all looking at it in that light. Atleast the hardware remained sturdy. I also looked at the X10 but somehow can't get past the absence of a hardware keyboard and android OS. I love winmo as a OS although a lot of people complain about it. And the best thing about it is that you can keep upgrading it. SE stated that X2 would be able to upgrade to WM7 once it's released which means next year this time my X1 will also be running it. Then there is the HTC interface porting, Starcraft porting ect. Maybe they will bring out a real upgrade for the X1 when WM7 releases. Android is way too limited in my opinion and if you have 1.6 there's no way to flash to 2.0 not to mention no pc porting
iPhone is rather high quality I must admit. We will have to wait and see. I'm actually quite angry at HTC now, since thats probably also the friggen reason my spacebar key cracked in it's first week of use. I have a Foxconn motherboard in my pc and must also admit it's never given me any kind of problem
Personally I am going to buy a HTC HD2 then they start to sell it here in Denmark! Cause I feel that the Xperia X1 lost its charm quickly for me!

Symbian on Xperia X1

Any chance that we can get this?
I mean, we almost have Android complete so what about Symbian?
No offence, but what is so great about symbian :/
I have never really liked that os to be honest. I like windows mobile better
But android is better than that again ofc

Symbian is ****, it is too complicated, slow and it is not customizable.
Sorry and no offense, but i hate symbian xD
y don't we stick to winmo and android. get android perfected
then we can see about other things, like maemo!

You can make yourself also clear in replying a normal message instead of this. But I got it, close if you like.
Well.. symbian UIQ3 was quite decent on my p990i (after every update )
It ran coreplayer just like on my xperia .. probably it had a working hardware acceleration.
i didnt see anything great about symbian when i had the p910i,p990i,p1 but then when i sold my p1 to a friend and got a xperia,then playing around with the p1 i remembered i didn't get as many issues as i do with the x1, and then missing gdesk and myphone explorer i had been conditioned to it.i had been thinking about getting a p1 again or get a android phone.
i've been long time ago using symbian
no offence but symbian, the feature isn't complete compare to winmo
and i think its more fun when i use winmo...
no hard feelings but i can scarcely imagine why on earth would someone using a ppc/smart phone would like to use such a ""WONDERFUL"" system haha...
As I can see here everyone is stuck on WinMo.
For God's sake, what is so great with windows mobile. I think, nothing. Very slow, not so user friendly, cpu and memory demanding and many other issues that I've seen in my, (considerably big), experience. Opposite to WinMo, symbian runs on slower CPU-s very smootly, does not need so much memory in order to be operable, and yet it is enough customisable. At leest according to me.
And after all, symbian apps can be developed by third parties 'cause it is open source, as android is, but for winmo the one needs to pay to Microsoft if wants to develop any app.
That is what is so great about symbian in compare to winmo.
The only adwantage of winmo is that this Os is realy high customisable and you can do any makeup that will work. But question is:
What do you like more package or its content???
Thanks for reading this !

Obviously, you know nothing on what you are talking about. U don't need to pay anything to develop app for WM as EVC are free download.
symbian is an very outdate POS. Not until recently their S60 v5 start having touchscreen support, but software support still rather limited.
i also support jackleung
relay i hate that symbaon os it is not good for professionals and too out dated

can't do much on symbian.. "you can't modify it to what you REALLY like".. only optional presets to choose..
windows is windows ...branitelj91, you even use windows to post that one..

As I can see here everyone is stuck on WinMo.
For God's sake, what is so great with windows mobile. I think, nothing. Very slow, not so user friendly, cpu and memory demanding and many other issues that I've seen in my, (considerably big), experience. Opposite to WinMo, symbian runs on slower CPU-s very smootly, does not need so much memory in order to be operable, and yet it is enough customisable. At leest according to me.
And after all, symbian apps can be developed by third parties 'cause it is open source, as android is, but for winmo the one needs to pay to Microsoft if wants to develop any app.
That is what is so great about symbian in compare to winmo.
The only adwantage of winmo is that this Os is realy high customisable and you can do any makeup that will work. But question is:
What do you like more package or its content???
Thanks for reading this !

wow isn't it great guys? i didn't know symbian is so wonderful! i saw my friend using this phone called nokia music express and it SUX!!!! touch screen? i think scratching my back is easier than scrolling on a symbian touch phone! the gps works even better! u only get ur reception after 15 or 20 minutes! if this kinda system satisfies you, i think u r better off with a normal SE phone or better still get a land line! hahaha

Can't agree more! I remember I tried my friend's N95 couples years ago (which was the TOP of the line Nokia phone at that period). It crash everytime I tried to use it's built-in GPS software (and I tested it after hard reset). What a piece of ****!
Even Nokia is dumping Symbian for it's upcoming smartphone series. Why would anyone want it over WM?? WM is not perfect but it WAY more advance than Symbian, and it suit my current needs most.
iPhone is good for it's UI, smoothness, user friendly, and first hand experience.
Andriod is good for it's openness, future potential, and google support.
WM is good for customization, lots of useful softwares (if you know how to look), best GPS software support.
Symbian?? Good for nothing!

I Moved from Android And Love WP7 Personally, But You should look at the features that you need and use in android and find out if they are present in WP7.
Personally I know you'll have a shock when you notice how 2 phones with the same processors act differently, WP7 seems to really utilise the processor for speed, I sat in an o2 store using both models and within 10 minutes I knew I wanted the HD7.. It just felt more fluid and I like the way that it seamlessly integrates everything
WP7 is very pleasing to the eye and personally I Like it, but if you're gonna miss the features in Android i'd suggest don't move.
If you update to the developer build of mango you would get to see the shocking speeds of that too, it seems to make the phone even faster, and not by just a little bit, by a heck of a lot!
The apps are pricey however, one of the setbacks of the Xbox live system and the fairly new operating system sadly.
These are my opinions on the phones, but personally you might think differently
Thank you for your input; I've was always into WinMo and moved over to Andriod.
Didn't give WP7 a shot yet, though I must admit that it seems to be more faster and fluid than andriod. The applications are my concern..but I do need a change
let's see if anyone else would like to share their experience...
EDIT: does WP7 support VOIP/SIP?? That would be a deal breaker for me.
Thanks.
Hi,
Android graphically resembles a little win 6th. It has great potential but they really are useful for small percent of people. WP7 is a new OS, still far from perfect, but moving in the right direction. It is good that Nokia will work. This will force the great progress and I think at the end of the year we will already have a good system.
Personally I have HTC HD7 and HTC IS and I am not going to get rid HD7.
Regards
