memory card + caller ID issues - XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I recently got X2. And well I like it though it is slow sometimes and freezes often. Anyhow, I put microsd from my old phone (Samsung i780), and I can't open any file from it. It says: there is no application associated. run the application first then open this file from within the application. When I do that, like I open Picture manager and select StorageCard - NOTHING shows up like the card is empty. help!
Also, when i get incoming calls from few ppl, it doesn't show ID. contacts are saved in phone book, and I know it's not my phone company because it displays for everyone but few people.

phone not alerting me of new sms

Hi
I'm using a norwegian version of this device, default HTC rom, not branded.
I've installed MioMap, AlenSoft QuickClock and HTC Dark Phone Pad International.
I use both the keylock and press the "off" button to turn off the display when I'm not using the phone.
Then after a month use without any trouble I find that from time to time the display turns on by it self. Not any scheduled callendar events, no new sms/mms, no new call (or missed call) and no sound alert, just the display turning itself on. But, if I go into the message center, it tells me that I've one new sms.
This is frustrating, since I often get sms messages related to work operations and rely on getting them in time. And it's frustrating to have to check manually all the time for new sms'es and not be able to rely on the phone telling me that I've got a new one.
So why don't the phone alert me with sound since it for sure have recieved a new sms? (yes the sound is on) And I guess it's the underlaying phone application that doesn't repport to the quickclock application (that displays the number of new sms'es on the home screen), so I don't see it even there, have to go all the way into the messaging application.
Another thing.
Active Sync is also running without my permission from time to time.
I don't sync my phone very often (just for file transfer) and I have unchecked all elements so that it should not need/try to sync them.
I also find that the device is slowing down after 5-6 days. The respons on my screen tapping is slow and not precise. I don't have many files and try to delete the inbox/sent elements/deleted elements every other day to keep it small. I do have a storage card, sandisk 6GB micro sdhc. (working great).
I suspect that this has to do with active sync running in the backgrund when not needed, so I go to start - settings - system - memory, select running programs and end the active sync from there. After a couple of minutes the device is up to speed again.
Any thoughts on this problems? Solutions?
Thank you for any feedback on this.

Unresponsive Email

I was hoping somebody would be able to help me :
My TYTN II has been working just fine, but just the other day my email program just stopped working. No matter where I try to open it from, it doesn't open. I can't even receive SMS messages (because it is the same program that handles emails). Also of interseting note is that PocketCM contacts, when opened loads then closes itself. None of my other programs (like Emoze) can access the email box either. I've even tried running the tmail.exe directly from the windows directory, but alas no luck.
Can anybody help?!
Anything would be helpful
same prob here. its not the first time it has happened. the previous times i had to do a hard reset in order to fix it. I do not want to to that again. please help.
If pulling your memory card fixes the problem then the issue is corruption on the memory card. To stop the problem change the setting in messaging so that attachments are stored in main memory and not the card.

Almost perfect...

I got my Diamond last Thursday and have been using it with my secondary sim whilst I got used to the phone and became used to using it intuitively... I am happy to say I am now completely comfortable with it and it is *almost* perfect!
Changes:
*Bepe 0.97 FIXED
*Diamond Advance Config tool
*S2U2
*Comm Manager advance.
Thank you to all the great people working to made this device all it should be! Donations forthcoming very soon!
I have just a few questions with regard to my remaining issues:
*The contacts summary page which comes up after ending a call, any way to suppress that?
*Is there any way to bluetooth contacts, files (pictures/music etc) to and from another mobile phone? I tried transferring a jpg image, an MP3 ringtone and a contact via bluetooth from a Sony Ericsson W880i but all three failed!
*Is there any way to display contacts as FORENAME SURNAME as opposed to SURNAME, FORENAME?
Thank you in advance for any advice regarding the above
Anyone?????
Think I might be able to help you out there.
1. To get rid of that contacts thing at the end of a call, tap Phone on the Home screen, then tap Menu and then Options. Go to the Advanced tab right at the end and untick "Add new phone number to Contacts at end of call".
2. To receive files of any kind over bluetooth, you have to have Bluetooth turned on in the Comm Manager, but you also need to have the Beam option turned on. If you have the modified Comm manager then you should be able to see the Beam option in there.
3. All my contacts show up as "forename surname" already, I think it might be to do with how you have it set up in Outlook, because I remember Outlook had it "surname, forename" by default and that drove me mad until I changed it. Hunt around in Outlook to change the way they're displayed, then do a sync, and I'd say that should do it.

Thanks for taking the time to reply Dave!
The contact summary still seems to come up I did untick this box a few days ago and maybe its a bug but the screen still appears on finishing a call.
I turned on Beam and the bluetooth file transfer now works just fine, thank you!
I will sync up when I get home and have a play around with Outlook, thanks for the suggestion I think that will remedy this problem too.
Is there an advanced contact manager or SMS manager out there by chance? Sending and receiving a few SMS today and the whole transition from TF3d to the WM is a bit jarry, and browsing contacts isnt really possible without the stylus... so far these are the only small niggles in day to day use! The latest version of S2U2 really helps usability and allows you to lock the hardware buttons when you get an incoming call... no more calls answered by mistake with this app!
No bother.
I never manually browse the contacts list because it scrolls very strangely, its impossible to successfully pick a contact.
The best way to select a contact when sending a text, I've found, is to type the first letter or two of their name, eg "DA" and then everyone with a name starting with DA is listed, eg DAD, DAVE etc. Much better than scrolling a list. Its the same behaviour when making a call and you want to select a contact; just bring up the Phone app (the one with the keypad) and start typing their name on the number pad.
I agree though that the process of moving from TF3D to WM6 when sending a text is very clunky. I wonder would HTC consider developing their own TouchFlo messaging software that covers all aspects of sending SMS and email. Unfortunately the iPhone still has the advantage there; you still have to get out the stylus every now and then on the Diamond.
I have most of my most frequently used numbers under the People tab in TF3D... good suggestions as above though.
May give this a try if I cant get along with the SMS...

No Service and phone no longer working as a phone

Hi all
I've had the phone for over a year (from Vodafone UK) and it's been working fine 99% of the time. However, yesterday it suddenly displayed "No Service" and the following started happening:
- can't press "Phone" or the green dial button - therefore I can't make or receive calls
- can't press "Contacts" or access contacts in any other way
- can't get ActiveSync to run
- googlemail account only connects when I do send/receive - but I can't change the settings
- incoming text messages display the number of the person and not their name (hence methinks the SIM or phone memory isn't being recognised)
- can't access Tasks or Calendar (neither will they display on the home page)
- when I try to launch Tasks via Business Appls I get this error "No program memory available. Tap Start > Settings > System tab > Memory, stop programs that did not automatically stop, and try again." - but this achieves nothing
- and generally the phone is no longer usable as a phone
Have spoken with Vodafone support who reckon the device is faulty and needs to be sent back to Vodafone.
Have checked the SIM in another phone and it worked fine (albeit with no contacts on it - which I'm thinking is because they're all on the v1615 but not being recognised?).
Is this a known fault? Is it a case of restoring to factory default (which would be a pain because I spent ages last year getting it set up how I like it)?
Any advice much appreciated (especially as this is my first post)
Thanks
SC
Sounds like you do have to restore it to factory Just make sure to backup youre contacts, sms, mail and so on. Move files you need to pc or sd card. If you planing on having a certain setup on youre phone you should take backup of its state when you have installed all apps and so on whit Spb Backup or simulare of youre choice.
Anyway, I would not for the world send it in before I had tried to hard reset. VERY odd if they didnt recommend you todo so on phone?
Thanks Raiisak
I can't access any contacts (or notes, tasks, calendar stuff) on the phone itself, so I'm assuming Exchange will keep hold of these. I've copied all other files onto my SC Card ... but how do I copy SMS's?
SC
search for PIMBackup...an excellent backup/restore tool for sms and contacts and a lot more.

A Problematic Contact entry

Just got my Captivate and I'm enjoying learning its features. The volume is not loud enough to suit me, but I guess I can learn to live with that...
One thing that I'd like to resolve is this:
All of my entries in Contacts work fine, except for one. The issue here is that even though I've entered the 10-digit phone # for that entry when I created it, when I try to use Messaging to that person, the top of that screens only shows their name and their *seven*-digit phone number when I message them. Consequently, as soon as I attempt to send them a message, I get the error about not having a 10-digit phone # properly configured.
I've tried deleting that Contact and reentering it. Have tried setting up a different Contact and then editing. Have tried taking out the external SD card. Still getting this issue. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!

Which type of contact is it, I.E. Phone, SIM, Facebook, Gmail, etc.
I've tried storing the Contact to both SIM and Phone. Same error results in either case.
