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!

Thanks for the news, this is good stuff. I quite fancied the Sony err xperia 1 but then noticed in www.htc.com press release section (materials relating) mentions about them taking on the xperia. Could this mean hold backs on the possible identifying device..Who knows, but I still quite fancy it. And suppose if HTC do release the drivers at the end of March like metioned at www.htcclassaction.org then I would buy another HTC device although I would be more cautious and probably wait for a few people from here to get one first.
Thanks again for your blog!! Good reading..
Hope to hear from you again..
diigibio (diigimatrix)
good blog
but reading....it seems S E won't even say if the video driver is going to be fixed...that is just making htc look even worse if you ask me. I think they are making the phone right? Bad sign, they are dodging things, and the phone hasn't even been released.....

Cause SE does not produces the Hardware. The internal PCB and all on-board is HTC OEM or ODm production.
HTC "might" again provide a chipset build without driver support. That is why.
Advice: Avoid Xperia as long S E does not confirm FULL specs of the Qualcomm CPU being used.

While I can't discosure the name of the manufacturer (they have asked me not to do so after our discussion), there is a far-east ODM that is working on the 3D Qualcomm drivers for their own Qualcomm-based devices. They stated they'd be ready in 2-3 months. They stated while they indeed have to do some manual coding, Qualcomm does (already) support 3D in the hardware.
You all know what this means - yes, we will hopefully be able to rip all those drivers after the (pretty close) release of the devices.
That definitely looks like something to look forward to. Please keep us informed, if you can.

Sure I will. Hope we can do some kind of a co-operation between the company in question and our Qualcomm coders / hackers with mutual benefits.

The S-E rep I've in person talked to didn't want to comment on whether it will surely have 3D hardware acceleration or not - unlike what the flyier states (in there, they speak of 3D hardware acceleration).
However, a completely independent manufacturer is (also?) working on the drivers. I'll try to do some kind of a co-operation, if at all possible, between them and the XDA-Devs coders.
Yes, I read that as well (about independent manufacturer). I am really appreciate your effort.
After reading your latest blog entry regarding this Xperia and found about:
- It is still based on Qualcomm MSM7xxx
- It is still 128 MB RAM
- It is still 256 MB Flash
I am less excited ...
I meant compared to Kaiser, there are not much upgrade.
- More resolution (800x480), yes this nice, but 3"? Not really big boost compared to current QVGA. For sure, it will look nicer, but I would rather to have 640x480 ... and 3.5" screen!
- More CPU power, I think 400 vs 528 will not add a lot (remember, the RAM is still 128MB) ... 624 would be nice (and add more RAM )
- FM Radio? Hmm, I dont need this for sure ...
- Xperia Panel? Could be nice, but I will not upgrade just because of this
- Windows 6.1? Dutty has that already ...
The rest are the same (GPSOne, Camera, etc.).
Well, maybe it is just me, but I found Xperia X1 does not offer much upgrade to current Kaiser.

Yup, that's their old article.

Haven't checked it myself as it's "just" a WinCE-based phone, not a WinMo one. Dunno if Engadget and the other sites covered it.
Albeit, I'm certainly interested in the S5L8900 chipset it has (the same as in the iPhone and is prolly much better than the old S3C244x in, say, the TyTN) (see http://www.gearlog.com/2007/07/iphone_processor_whats_with_th.php ). While I don't think it can beat the brand new S3C6400 / S3C6410, which will only be used later by devices from Samsung and E-ten (the latter was confirmed by a Samsung rep at MWC), it's certainly much better than the S3C244x and has, for example, 3D hardware acceleration support.

1.Does diamond support Windows mobile 7 ?
2.Do U Think htc will release 8/16 GB Diamond?
what a random question. thres no evicence for either, but i doubt the storage upgrade. theyve done that with the advantage a year on, and everyone thinks its a waste of money.
but wm7, if its not officail, id guess the cooks will port it
Rory
I wouldn't rule out the storage upgrade. If HTC want the Touch Diamond to compete with the iPhone, they will have to do storage upgrades. Also, because I'm buying it, you know a better version is going to be released - it's my bad luck. (My Touch is a good example).
This may be a silly question but has anyone actually opened up their Diamond to see if it is possible to increase the Storage Memory? eg could it be possible to add/swap out the 4GB for more?

There is evidence for WM7, just knowing M$, whatever we know now will be completely different from what is released, and it'll be released two years late...
I suspect HTC will release newer versions with more storage, but there is no evidence for that ATM.
isnt the touch pro basically the diamond with upgrades and sd slot for up to 64gb (so far)?

finally a decent response to my question. Now who has taken a look under the hood of their Diamond to see for eaxmple where on the board the 4GB memory chip is and how accessible it is. Is there any space under the cover to connect up another memory card...

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?

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.

Thats the shame 'bout HTC (besides da poor quality of hard- and software): they setup ONE hardware and make 5 PDAs with slighty changed details. they were never interested in making good hardware.. everytime they took something away the previous model had... now, they do have android and are able to clone nearly the same device just with another OS.
in commercial aspects, this makes sense.... but as consumer I can only think of it as a pain in the neck. my old universal has a high res display, a 3,5mm audioconnector, a well made keyboard and a fast cpu... years ago... a shame it is the size of a brick .
If someone would mad it possible to use the Compass HW with WinMo i would gladly set a bounty of 50$.
Goal would be a little App to proof that it ist working plus the sourcecode for other Devs.
Does anyone join in?
its probably another 'tv out' scenario...
basically the chipset has the tech but other required hardware / software is not present hence the features can never be used.
why on earth HTC cripple devices like this is boggling.....if the HD had been released with TV-out (which the qualcomm chipset supports) & a hw compass (to be confimed) it would have levelled the competition.....
i am sure their marketing strategy has good reasons for not doing...but as said earlier from the consumers point of view its a pain in the butt...especially considering some of us are locked in 24 month contracts.!! so wont be purchasing other handsets even if we wanted too.
lets hope some clever devs find a way to unlock these features!! (if possible)

I disagree your argumentation:
Developers here wrote drivers to implement TMC and RDS into the features of the Blackstone. HTC hasn´t done it yet.
HTC seems to leave possible feature unused. Maybe to save time for their developers.
The old topic of a missing video driver is another example for that.

is the same that dream phone?
Byes
haha, did anyone think that they mite have released the phone in haste, or maybe they did it on purpose to allow the release of the HD pro to include such features, along with a 128GB internal memory (i wish).

Sometimes happen... It's true that more with anothers brands (apple), I can remember Ipod touch, iphone, wifi in the macs....
may be this time no but is possible.
Byes
I've read the same thread from Tuxhero and I have to see it before I believe it. The only thing we've got is a blanket statement that he has read it somewhere. Someone else created slight confusion on this site before with similar statements.
Not saying that he's lying (in fact, I hope he's right), a source would help. Until then, I'm not getting my hopes up.
Im guessin they didnt include alot of features cause when the phone was released whoever ws going to buy it would buy it anyway, and when competitors (Iphone3gs) release phones with features like the compass thing etc , htc can easily release newer phones with the same features ... sort of like having it ready on earlier models so when they need to release it they can quickly!
My guess
Ha. Gotcha.
I don't know...I'm at odds here...
With taxes coming in (I know I'm getting a nice refund)...I am torn between getting a touch pro 2 (Tilt 2, whatever)...and a Leo...
I have a touch hd at this time, and the one thing that really gets me is the lack of TV out, which the TP2 has. A small, insignificant thing to some, but with 2 children and a van, the old Fuze I used to have really came in handy.
But then I look at the Leo, with its huge screen, 1ghz Snapdragon, capability to be upgraded to wm7---but also, no tv out...
Or should I just wait a little longer to see what comes up???
Any ideas???
Rumning Poll
Touch Pro 2- 0
Leo- 1
Ican'tmakeupmymindeither (aka Orb3000 poll)-1
hd3/tp3- Stop confusing me!!!!!-2
there has been some news about HD3, I don't know whether its for real or not. It would be a grand device looking at its specifications.

If hardware keyboard is must for you go for Rhodium!
There won´t be better choice till 2011
If not a hardware keyboard fan but you can wait and $ is not a prob, then go for HD3
If can´t wait go for Leo
Dam the HD3 sounds like one sexy beast of a phone...any hope of that being for AT&T as well, i was rather disappointed that the HD2 never made it
Didn't even know that there was an HD3 in the horizon...gotta google...
edit...okay, googled it up...even though they are just rumors...no...way...this would be the ultimate phone...that is, at least until a 2ghz model comes out...

Dang... But you'd have to wait until November...
If it's even for real...
True that. Hmm. I'd definitely have to say the Leo, though.
theres rumors on a TP3 as well
(you do know that none of you are helping...) 'cept for the Texan with the rebel hair...

Huh--wha? I do not know you sir (new avatar)...and why the heck did you click? perv. and next time you take a self pic. POUT LIKE THE PROFESSIONALS!!!
Ha. Psssh, I clicked because I love... Um, gymnastics(?) not big breasted women... Yeah, that's why.
The Vogue's camera only allows me to pout so much. Any more, and the picture comes out black.
no one else would like to put their two cents?

Mui malvada indeed! Now, I think you should follow Steve Jobs and buy an ipudding or an HTC Magnun! I knew I've seen the idea before! Small enough for delicate ears!
Lol
Great one!
I guess it depends on what you want in a phone. From the research I did in phones, the TP2 is a great phone. The others are great but are expensive if you buy them outright. You might consider providing more details other than the phones you're trying to choose from. Like what you want in a phone.
