back/bottom button or something??? - XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I think that there is a button or sensor at the bottom of the back side of XPERIA. Beneath the green symbol of SE. When you push it you can feel its like button it clicks.
I guess its the sensor to detect if the phone is put down on the table or any surface. But it does not have any function.

could you show a pic?

this at the bottom of the phone. Try to press it with finger.

...................yes I know what you meant....................
There is nothing to press.

Yes. It is the button which turns on the accelerometer. And if you hold it for 5 seconds, Xperia will reboot to hidden WM6.5.

you are all so smart. Are'nt you. Behaving like a Children. I asked a simple question.
Hold it in you hands near you ear and press it very gently. You will hear a clicking sound.
There are phones wich can detect if phone is down on the table or desk. If so your current call will be redirected via speaker. I saw this function in some phones.
Location of this potention button on XPERIA is very logical for that purpose. Its more like button/sensor. Not the button you will press. that was my first idea.
Im not saying its right or wrong. Im just saying that its very logical question and make sense. Its propably not true but its all logical. What is there so funny. Some of us got ours XPERIA for only few days and dont know all about the phone.
Everyone is smart and brave on internet. Real life different story.

There is nothing to press on that spot! You are holding the phone with one of your other fingers on the front side. When you press the back your other finger pushes the lower part of the d-pad or the whole top part rubs against the keyboard one.

Still behaving like a 5 year old. Your answer is not good. But i know its not like i tought. Thats not the point anyway.
I asked simple question. And you are behaving like that. So smart, arogant and confident. Question is very logical for someone who just got their XPERIA X1. I even noticed that sensor earlier on some other Windows Mobile Device.
I have xperia for few days. And dont know all about X1.
You know XPERIA better than me. Becouse of that you are so smart and im not. Are you proud at yourself.
Maybe becouse of this behavior you will get some respect of other members. You are veryy coooool maaannn. Verryy.
What would be your self-esteem and ego like without the internet.
Would it kill you if you tried to explain it nicely. I just want some nice behavior. Dont get me started about things i know... smartass

Yes orelsi is a smart ass
(you're not going to argue that one are you orelsi?)
but having said that your question is stupid and not at all logical denyboy
Actually one of orelsi's better put-downs I think
...and yes I admire him for being SOO COOOOL and want to be just like him
in fact if he smokes or does drugs then I'll have to start myself!

Only problem can be my english. Question is OK and there is no need for arogance. Thats the point. Im not going to argue any more. Not worth it.
This is my last post on this topic.

Hi,
under the green "SE button" is a snap-in holder for the antenna cover. It will stay with a click in the down position if you press hard enough - and the cover will be really fixed in its position.
regards

Actually I have read strange questions which most people found stupid .. and they were not and they were interesting. Like that funny thread about front camera image mirrored, or red led under power button.
But this simply is stupid question. Not everything which clicks is a button. Actually mine does not click at all.
As for the antenna port .. show the photo .. or shut up, there are people here who will force it out. I know you want exactly that.
As for Orelsi .. dude you made me LOL big time with that facepalm picture.

LOL......i check xda as i couldn't sleep. its 3.am in my place.....but this thread makes me feel like i will be awake till the sun rises.....lol.
anyway, there's nothing in that part but a screw. here's the pix.

Accelerometer on Xperia X1

Is there ANY possibility that the Xperia X1 has a hidden accelerometer in it? As it was HTC who manufactured it and as HTC loves to hide some cool features of some devices, do you think X1 has an accelerometer hiden in it?
And IF it has... how can we discover it? Any ways or only if HTC or Sony tell us?
Thanks in advance!
hasn't someone disassembled the X1?
Im pretty sure they didn't find an accelerometer
I've seen a video of Xperia getting dismantled, Havn't seen anything that looks like a Accelerometer.
Does someone have a screenshot how the hardware supose to look like?
See this: http://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/prod/oet/forms/blobs/retrieve.cgi?attachment_id=1028928&native_or_pdf=pdf
Pix from dismantheling... Thanks to: XavierGr
i've tried all the usual accelerometer drivers and tweaks and they don't work so I presume there's not one.
Is there a hardware dump utility like lspci that we can run to see what's there?
View Poll Results: Xperia X1 has a hidden accelerometer?
Yes, it has 1 4.00%
Maybe it has 7 28.00%
No, it hasn´t 17 68.00%
Who said yes?
LOL I was hopping for hidden tmobile usa 3g band.

I dont know if it has a g sensor or not but if it does it is well hidden. I thought the X1 only had A-GPS too until i found a program that unlocks the real FULL GPS so it might still be possible.
Maybe you will have to go for the X2 if you really need the accelerometer

Huh? There's still speculation about the X1 having an accelerometer?? Thought that's like history already.
thats easy.
just let it drop from like 2 meters height. if it accellerates then it should have an basic accelerometer. if it drops at constant speed then it doesnt.
if it doesnt drop at all then it should have an hooverometer.
i would test it for you but i am currently at a spacestation right now and the test would show up "hooverometer" all the time.
if it drops to the ground you should hear a noise. if it is a loud and clear "CLANK!" then it has definitely an accelerometer. if it is a relatively soft "clank!" then it doesnt have one. its probably very hard to distinguish between "CLANK!" and "clank!". i suggest you record the noise and upload it here to have another poll!
even if there is nothing mentioned in the white-paper and not a single driver available and no sign of an application whatsoever ... this conspiracy should be solved once and for all. also there is still the "tv-out issue" to solve. yesterday my x1 was floating near my tv and the tv-screen did still show a picture!!!
good luck,

its has GPS... its listed as having GPS... all GPS programs work without drivers or any tweaks needed >.<
Would be pretty funny if they had hidden a g-sensor in it just for fun...
If there was a hidden iphone in my x1 I would start crying.
It has an accelerometer. It's found right next to the extra RAM and the TV-Out port, all three are clearly labelled if you care to open your X1 and find out. The best part? They're all activated simply by pushing a little pixie shaped button near the bottom of the handset's interior.

A dev could have a bit of fun with that. Add an accelerometer, hide it and don't tell anyone. Then patch the device 6 months down the line with an update that makes the screen switch off whenever the phone is moving and switch on whenever it's stationary.
Worth the lolz? The guys in charge of the repairs/complaints departments would likely say no.

Use FTouchSL, forget scroll bars! Then you can use schaps adv config tool and hide the bar.

Yeah
I´m using that, but some people want to have their bars there and should be great to have them on the left side
x2 for bar on left. Being lefty and having to cover the screen just to scroll is annoying.

Great idea in fact
although this would a great thing to implement for left hand users ive had an idea
we all know we use phones in different situation now sometimes i use my left hand for scroolling sometimes the other
ive noticed if i hold phone with right hand the left side of the pgone point down slighlty
alsi if i hold it with my left hand the right hand side of the phnes edge points down
i think and app should be made that judges which side is further down by using the g sensor and then throwing the scroll bar to the other side of the scren
so if you holding with right hand the phones g sensor know the left hand side of the phone is the lowest so the phones draws the scroll bar to the right
and if you swicth hands the scrol bar get pushed to the other side
i think the bar is too small to make drawing it a graphical milestone
"orb300" Please let´s do not start again, if you don´t have anything positive to say, it´s better to not say anything

Had to share a funny story. Along time ago about ten years I had this huge crush on this girl but we both had a bf/gf and I was messing around with a magic 8 ball and I asked it if I was to kiss this girl would she be feeling it. The damn thing kept saying yes like a 100 times in a row. We started to laugh so hard cause I was telling her I asked a question about her but didn't tell her what it was I was asking but she seen it kept saying yes and we were laughing our asses off.
This last week we started talking again and she told me she had the biggest crush on me and I told her what I was asking the magic eightball. I seen your program and told her I d/l it and she was laughing.
I live out of state now but Im moving back home in a few months so I was talking to her for like 6 damn hrs on the phone last night. When we hung up somehow my cheek was hitting the screen,navigated to programs,hit the magic 8ball program without me knowing, and when I was going to hang up the phone the app was open with the answer "It is decidly so"! I swear to God no bs,true friken story!

Cool App, I think i'll keep this on my phone.
I'm not sure if you plan on any more development of this App, but if you do here are some ideas.
Add sound when you shake it. The real Magic 8 Balls had that distinct rattle.
I'm not a fan of the background.
On ROM's that auto-rotate all apps, this program gets all funky in Landscape mode. Possibly add landscape support.
Thanks

i'm always open to suggestions , i'll see if i can find the right sound and what i can do about landscape mode, any ideas for the background?
The Magic 8 Ball box had a pink/red & white spiral design. Maybe try and find a nice spiral for a background.

Dual Speakers on X1?

I was browsing screen protectors for my X1 on the BodyGuardz website, and stumbled upon this image of a "hole" over the camera button:

}
I automatically thought this would be another speaker, because the first speaker is on the bottom left, and the camera button is the bottom right.
Would this be one of the older/newer X1's, or a model from a different country? Or is it maybe an external microSD slot?

Hmm.. ok thats odd
Maybe its a prototype?
I inspected my x1 and see that up the camera button is a small plastic line that goes all the way as where that speaker is so maybe it was planned first but cancelled later?
I noticed that on my X1 as well.
And I agree -- it might have been previously planned. But I don't see why they would remove something as convenient as dual speakers. Even worse than not having an accelerometer in a device like this.
Very true
When I opened my X1 I noticed there was room for a second speaker. It does look like it was planned and then dropped. I'm not sure but I think the prototypes had an extra button and two speaker holes.

If you look at the image, you'd see the skin/protector already applied.
Maybe it's a dummy phone. So they don't need to buy a whole X1 just for advertising their skins.

Galaxy ACE stylus pen?

That's it, I would like to know if anyone has try a stylus pen on ACE. I'm a drawer and painter and I would love to use the Sketchbook app with a pen but I don't know if that would be possible. I tried with a DIY one, that one was for iphone, and didn't work, so what do you think?
Make one with a finger touch ;-)
Sga having a capacitive touch screen only soft fingers touches respond...
[practice random acts of kindness and selfless acts of love]
Lol, thanx! I've been using that app with my finger. The thing is that I saw on ebay, amazon and so, stylus pens for galaxy ACE, but I don't know if it's scam or they truly work
I tried a 10€ capacitive stylus from a retail shop. I don't think you will find it very useful for painting, as it is has a 6mm diameter, but it does work and it will keep your screen clean of fingerprints. I had some trouble swiping, because the rubber tip feels a bit sticky, leading to false taps. Also, mine didn't last very long: after a month or so the rubber tip became too sticky. I know there are styli with cloth tips but I have yet to find one.
I've found several today on an hawker, one of these stylus work well for write or play but I think isn't suitable to draw..
well, if a stylus works on the galaxy note, i dont really see any reason why it shouldnt work on the ace. After all, one capacitive screen works the same way as the other, only the backlight differs(led,etc)

READ the first post dude. For drawing
I use this and works very fine:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-x-Metal-L...ccessories&hash=item336fc7e086#ht_5170wt_1081
Interesting!
I bought one from Dealextreme and you really have to push it against the screen to work. Otherwise it will leave a dotted line. It's similar to the other Chinese ones posted here.
I have an awesome idea use an ear bud and put some extra cotton on if an make it a little wet with water and Viola your home made stylus I'd ready.
it really worked and I even typed this message with it

He he..superb idea bro
I use my thumb as natural stylus
This suits for tab n note i think
the stylus's on ebay work just fine, but as someone else said, the tip is fairly large so for drawing dont expect much.
depends what drawing software you are using as well, if its one that supports pinch and zoom then you will get reasonable results, but again, never going to produce superb results.
But the ebay ones are about $2 so its not really money wasted. You can still use it for typing, playing games etc.
