i don't know waht to say
but i love my X1 more than this N900
at last X1 is Windows Mobile and i love this OS more than any other.
on my X1 verithing is ok and i love it
I've sent my X1 into sony once, but still I'm really happy about it, its working well and I love that I've gotten everything how I like it.
N900 is a good phone though, but seems to tout itself as something really powerful in the Nokia lineup (which compared to other nokias is true), when WM and Android is just as capable. Its great for messing around with though.

Nope, you're not the only one sending it back for the second time. Mine's back with SE at the moment because the case has cracked again! Different place this time.
Haven't had any other probs with it though, and am still v. happy with it now I've got it running how I like it (taken about 9 months, mind you!)
Weird,
I got mine since April 2009 & dropped it already 2-3 times from minimum 1 meter high on the floor.
And it doesn't have even a crack or a malfunction :O
Everthing works perfectly on my device ^^
Seems some people have bad luck :S
got mine more then a year ago and haven't had any problems with anything
well after I fell in a lake 2 times the same night the keyboard have some issues where some keys require a harder pressure and some only light pressure or I get 2 letters
but I can't really fault sonyE / htc for that problem

I don't know... a combination of an accelerometer and a jet pack on the X1 could have kept you from falling in the lake
(I also sent mine in twice: screen/LED then keyboard)
Just got mine back 2nd time
First time I sent it to repair it was for the keyboard issue.
Now the keyboard is ok but after a month or so it started dropping calls, bad 3G reception etc.
So sent it back again and received it back last saturday.
it seems fixed now but I have to try it out for a few days.
So you're not alone in your X1 troubles...
"I don't know... a combination of an accelerometer and a jet pack on the X1 could have kept you from falling in the lake"
funny you should mention it because when I tried to turn it on after the first dip
all life sign it gave was to turn on the led for the cam maybe it was trying to save me from the second drop if only I had left it on

You are not the only one. That is for sure! Here's the situation by me: I had cracks in my X1 (never dropped, always in leather case), and after that problems with the keyboard. It went to service, 2 months ago - problems with keyboard and with front panel keys. I've opened and fixed the problem with the front panel keys. And very soon I'll open it again and clean the keyboard. That is 3 times opening the phone. I hope it won't break of so much openings, but it is the worst phone (panel quality wise) I've ever had.
And the guy from the service said - you can try to sell it and by the new X2 - yeah !!! I'll never buy SE again, not in the next couple of years at least. And X2 - it is just as slow as X1. I've spent 550 euro for something that causes me so much troubles.
my xperia came they appears did not do nothing
they said I did software tampering wtf is that ? is this custom rom or they realized the stock spl?
but what is funny my keyboard is working properly now
is this stupid or what LMAO! ?

Hi Everyone
I Have a friend who has just recently bourght a sony ericsson w910i
the flick of the wrist to change a song phone...
he got it when it was brand new in shops
it has developed a problem...
after turning it on after 20seconds or less it restarts and just goes into a continus loop....
i know xda-developers work on windows based phones but i just wanted to see if xda could strech there maverloss tecnical wings of theres and see if we could get this fixed!
lets see if we could put a smile back on his face!
chears

This handset is less than a year old, why not just send it back for software upgrade?? As you are from the UK also, not many people do know this but all mobile phones now have a 24 month warranty (they dont tell you this to stop you from taking your phone back but this is EU law)
just found out this is a world wide problem is so bad that some operators who sold the phone are asking for there return!!
http://techdigest.tv/2007/11/orange_recalls.html
touch wood i dont think this has ever happeded to SE before but it has happened to nokia a couple of times!
glad we can get around theses problems!!
Ok so here's the story:
Got my HTC Diamond (unlocked version) back in June 2008 for about $700 USD.
Few months later the backlight stops working and it gives me the microp version mismatch error.
I send it in to HTC for repairs, a month later I get it back, working again.
Now I've had the phone back for about a month, and today I turn on the phone and guess what: NO BACKLIGHT! When it finally does boot up (without the backlight) it gives me the MicroP version mismatch error AGAIN.
What a piece of junk. In less than one year this phone has died twice on me. I still have old sony and nokia phones from 6 or 7 years ago that work 100%, yet my HTC Diamond has died twice in less than a year?
I'll never buy another HTC phone. </rant>
That sucks that you of all people ended up getting the 1/100000 lemons out of the factory. I've gone through a few HTC's and have NEVER had a problem with them, as I'm sure not many have.
I'd give it another chance if it was me, god knows I love WinMo.
yeah...well i just called HTC repairs again. they said they will pay to have it shipped back to them for repairs, again.
hopefully it doesn't take too long...
i still think it's funny that the crappy free phones i have from years ago still work great, but this $700 phone keeps breaking on me! grrrrrr
It's because those 'cheap crappy phones' have 1-10 components inside, whereas the Diamond has 10x that (g-sensor,gps,wifi,etc) so there's so much more possibility of something breaking.
I think you've just been very unlucky, I've owned tones of phones and not one of them has ever failed on me.
I would suggest that if your Diamond fails again (touch wood it doesn't ) demand a new one as replacement, as it's probably beyond repair.
Bad luck for you.
I ve had HTC devices for about 4 years and never ever had a problem. I even dropped my HTC Wizard twice and stepped on It. And it still works !!!!
So Go and buy a Iphone
sony and nokia phones ... how many? why changing to htc if your phoneS works 100%? work both phoneS together 100% (sony 30% and nokia 70%).
i was the master of making a phone unflashable and unusable.
1. prophet: soundproblem ... after looking inside and try to repair = death
2. artemis: during flashing pull usb-cable = never starts again
2.1 artemis: after more than 100 try-flashing for reanimation the resetbutton gone to god
3. eten x800: 2 days old in germany, no roms, try something like x500 udlr = unflashable since today but function o.k.
4. diamond: 1 day - 1 hour - first think was flashing. it flyes with me to Turkey, drinks water, fly to wall (2 times), flashing and cooking, i think i would marry it.
today its a htc what you never buy, tomorrow its a palm and the day after its an other phone. do what you want and have fun with your new never-want-buy-xyz-phone ....
my oppinion is: i cant understand why you posting here ... ?

I agree with this comment! After two attemps at resolving the same issue, any manufacturer should replace the handset completely.
Best of Luck
i must say
only had HTC phones since 2002
not once has one broke down on me....
i have dropped a few....but thats me....not the phone
HTC the only one !
I´m a big fan of HTC. Now i have a Diamond. Earlier: qtek, nokia, motorola, soyericson and more....
From heavy models on 2 kilos in 30 years!
I think i never have another brand then HTC anymore, This is the best phones.....

@ asrdias

i forgot the points
2.2 artemis: bought a broken artemis on ebay for 50€ and make from two damaged orbits one functionally orbit.
2.3 artemis: using a german cooked rom from htc-developers;
2.4 artemis: 100% no problems !!!
3.1 send x800 earpiece for spend somebody and used for me an earpiece from an old handy. 100% no problems !!!
i hope, in future i can write
4.1 diamond: tv-out (what ever, negative or postive message)

im interested in that too, my phone does the exact same, and a friends.
is there any "home solution"
My Diamond broke twice during the first 2 months (overheated and wi-fi became dysfunctional). A friend's Diamond overheated so much whilst navigating that it broke too.
I've had mine for almost a year now but my next one will definitely be an IPhone. My Diamond has been immature and unstable from the beginning, requiring third-party software and registry patches for basic functionality like setting touchscreen sensitivity and the integration of the address book into the phone user interface is just moronic. Scrolling is plain awkward in TF3D, nothing like the smooth control you have on the Iphone.
My first HTC was a Qtec S200 and it was better in every respect except that it lacked GPS. More robust, better battery life, better GSM sensitivity, better wifi range, better touchscreen sensitivity. Solid as a brick.
Hi i just thought of sharing you guys what happened to my X1. I had my x1 for almost 4 mos. and been flashing roms almost once a week. Then a wierd thing happened when i was about to reply to a sms i switched to landscape mode the screen turned blank i tried reflashing my current rom and even updated via SEUS but to no avail the problem still there. I brought the phone the next day to a Sony Ericsson service center and they told me that they need to replace a hardware called Rigid Flex. It cost around $64 and unfortunately its out of stock and will arrive 3 to 4 weeks... Guess i need to get used in typing via virtual keyboard for now. I just thank that there is an alternative to the stock keyboard.
That's exactly what happened to my phone, but I've never flashed a ROM. I've sent mine into SE repair in which they received it on the 22nd of July and won't be receiving parts until the 21st of August. By that time my phone will be held hostage for 23 business days and of course a freaking months time. Additionally, if you include the 5 days it took for shipping, SE repair time that will eventually happen and shipping the phone back to me, it will be an eternity without my phone. It really pisses me off that they don't have those parts in stock or their stubborness in not just replacing my phone.
I'm finally getting my phone back after basically a month without it. They repaired the Flex Cable/Rigid Flex on my unit. Hopefully when I get it back, there are no new issues and lets hope one of my roommates is home to sign for it!
its probably something wrong with the cable that goes from the lower part of the phone to the upper (screen) part. When I took my Xperia apart this cable looked really flimsy and poorly placed IMO, almost as if it would wear out after a certain number of slides.
I already went to 2 SE service centers requested for the parts and they told me the same thing that i have to wait for a month.
Hopefully the replacement shall be more sturdy and reliable though i am getting used to typing via touch screen but the device feels incomplete without the landscape mode
My screens turns blue after sliding out i had first the problem that it went out when sliding out.. after repairs and 2 days later it went blue
So now i can go back to the store ..

How's your phone now?
Works like a charm. No issues thus far, here's to keeping it that way. I love having my Qwerty back!
Have two sitting here that need that flex ribbon...very hard to find it...

Good then. Still waiting for that rigid flex... 2 weeks already and counting.
Well, I guess is not so ethical what Im going to ask...
But, last mont my phone touchscreen stopped responding, going to service, 15 days without phone, phone working fine again.
After less than a week, touchscreen stop working again, back to service, phone working again.
What happen yesterday? touchscreen isnt working again
I wont deal with an obviously faulty phone again.
So, I want to kill it completely. I dont know if there is a way to kill even fastboot, but if anyone can help me, It will be great. Looks like it's the only way to get a proper replacement from moto
Doesn't sound like a good idea, , They'll proooooobably know if you been messing with it.

So don't... Tell them what kind of hassle you've already been through and that you want a replacement. If you have insurance, break the screen. Usually they don't ask what happened but if they do tell them your a contractor and you were doing some heavy lifting and it broke in your pocket.
Thanks for your answers.
Im not in the US. Here moto can hold your phone in repair for a maximum of 3 months
They dont care if you are dealing with service for the second or third time.
I guess I´ll use the hard way. It wont be so difficult
A buddy at work is a real phone whore and like to get a new one every few month. he takes a car battery and 2 wires and touches the battery contacts on the phone to fry the board.
Just touch it for a second or you'll get burn marks. Phone will be DEAD and there is no way for them to tell you did it...

crispy Droid 3 ..
here in mexico, my mom had a motorola cliq that had problems with the board (it crashed even after wipe without modding) sent it back returned (they just reflashed it) happened again and sent it back and they just reflashed it. this time i rooted and updated firmware. but anyway it failed again. sent it back (with sbf of original ) the they just re flashed the unit..
one more time it went back and for the most time (3 weeks ) it was well
on every call to support i told them that the problem was the board in the phone.
one fourth time sent it back and finally got the board replaced ... (this time imei was different but housing was the same.
i was very happy until i noted they closed the phone housing badly wrong .. but it was working. then it failed again but this time it was a new error. keyboard lights died because of a FRIED Sensor. but it was working.
but as using it at night was impossible. i returned it and as i had sent it back so many times they changed my phone (my mom didnt want another Motorola for now) for a Nokia N97 (i'm talking 2 years ago when android wasn't as popular as it is today.
today. my mom still has that phone. always trustworthy Nokia phone.
anyway wht im saying is that keep sending it back until they change at least the board or the screen.. but well
have you tried reflashing?
Hi I got my xperia z in March and on new years day the phone screen broke in my pocket with a hairline crack and became unusable. I have a very nice phone case to try stop things like that from happening. Anyways I sent my phone in to repair and they told me it would cost R3500 to fix (321.69$). I live in South Africa and when ever I try phone around to get more help they just redirect me to the next person who can not help me. What can I do any help thanks

You can repair it yourself, I think that's the best thing you can do if you don't want to pay that much.
Only downside is that there is a big chance that your phone isn't 'waterproof' anymore after you've fixed it.
Here is a tutorial:

And a place where you can buy parts:

Pretty pricey, but by far not as pricey as getting it repaired.
There are more places you can buy prats like Ebay.
Hello
Hi. I am from Romania and i bought 3 weeks ago a Sony Xperia Z3 from Germany. I have guarantee. Yesterday i saw that all the back glass from my phone is crashed. My phone didn`t fall down on the floor or something like this. I read on network many problems like this and i know that the problem is from my pocket. I don`t know that guarantee will repair this thing. What do you think?

I have seen same issue with T2 ultra in my friend's phone .. The display cracked inside pocket.... I thing that some kind of force applied to it while my frnd handling his bike with the phone inside the pocket....
And here in India it cost around Rs. 10,000 to fix it...
