hey guys..i just got picsel browser on my kaiser...and i have two questions...
1) when i enter into IE and go to a site it automatically connects to gprs/3g ....however when i go into picsel..it doesnt connect...and so i first have to go to IE for it to connect..then i can use picsel fine..this is annoying..is there anyway i can make it automatically ocnnect with picsel like it does with IE?
2) i cant play youtube videos because it tries to open them in picsel which doesnt have flash....is there any way i can make it open in TCMP like it does in IE?
thanks in advance!
Connection: NO, it's designed for use with certain models. so unless you rewrite it or change your connection setting to always on it won't work.
Youtube: Possible to do, but would require scripts, i.e. mortscript & it's just not a popular enough browser to spend much time on.
BTW w/ Opera Mobile 8.65 (official) you can watch youtube on the webpage just like on your PC. PM me if you'd like to test it out.
Ok, just thought I'd post to see what everyone does with there Xperia X1 so that others can see what the phone can be used for and what not.
Currently I just use the phone for the phone, text, e-mail (with T-Zones) and use the Garmin a lot. Rather than that I'm still exploring on what to add to the phone.
I flashed a couple roms, from TF3D to the R2A and found that I am more satisfied with the R1A using the performance tweaks. I do like the TF3D but I like being able to pop the keyboard and type for anything that needs typing
I'm trying to incoprorate the phone as a music player and listen to music more so I'm going to be using the media panel, unless someone else can suggest something better. I want to be able to see all my songs and create a playlist rather easily and shuffle the songs.
Another thing I would like to have just incase is the WiFi tether for my laptop. I know t-zones is rather slow but having some internet would be better than nothing.
I also thought about blogging and taking random pictures to kind of keep up with whats going on in my life and that sort of thing. The facebook panel is ok, but I'd rather have like flickr or something to upload the pictures and blog about it.
So what do YOU guys do with your Xperia? And what do YOU guys recommend?
I use mine for email, web, gps, the odd photograph, writing articles (usually with a photo) and as an Mp3 player..
Never usually bother with txt and obviously make the odd phone call.
Then there's all the tweaking, tinkering and hacking..
as to music I tend to use the one in TF3d, which works fine for my needs, (but then I just stick it on shuffle).
Without tf3d I use either
Conduits pocket player (which is a really good music player (commercial) and uses media player skins see http://mylostblog.altervista.org/ for some of those)
freeware there's mortplayer, and s2p, but s2p doesn't do playlists just yet, possibly next version by the look of it.
Never got on with tcmpmpmpm/coreplayer but others love it.
- Full email with built-in messaging and marvellous ProfiMail
- Full Internet (OperaMobile 9.5, OperaMini 4.2)
- YouTube
- Photos, and sometimes video recording
- Music
- RSS Feeds
- Constant work with Office, especially Pdf and Word (currently DocsToGo but planning to get Softmaker)
- Of course extensive use of Calendar, Notes, Tasks (busy life)
- GoogleMaps
- And utilities like ExpenseDiary, Stopwatch, Dictionary, Calc and Currencies!
- Ebooks reading
- Simple Weather app by Gega (great!)
- screen capture utility to catch maps from google maps when abroad (cheap and practical!!!)
As for UI, I just love panels and have two of them (one clean, one with most of my apps I use and all I need)
I also use MediaPanel which supports creating playlists. I don't really watch movies on X1 since it basically kills battery. Anyway there's a sticky containing good converter for videos for X1.
Hope it helps, apparently I don't do too little with my Xperia.....
First of all, don't blog. Too many people doing it, too few people caring, you'd be wasting your time.
Beside that, my uses include (in order of importance)
- Tinkering
- Calling
- Sms messages
- Musicplayer
- Video's
- Email
- Games (SNES)
- Random stuff
Apart from the obvious; making calls.
-I surf the net alot with Opera.
-Use mt 8GB card to listen to music synced via PC(always shuffle)
-Watch Youtube sometimes
-GPS with TomTom is wow( Where would we be without GPS)
-Some games - actually bejewelled
-E-mail - a lot of e-mail. Windows Live rocks
-Texting too.
I've been using Windows Mobile aka Pocket PC Phone Edition when it first came out in 2000. Same what you will about Microsoft but they've got the best Mobile software in existence. Believe it or not, I'e never owned a regular cell phone. Been using WinMo since MS launched the XDA with T-Mob in 2000.
-turn it back on when it turns off
-restart it when coreplayer crashes
well i gotta admit i love mobile gaming. This phone really dissapointed me, a lot. Gaming sucks so hard. Hopefully with all these WVGA phone coming, there will be more support for gaming. Even emulators suck, compared to those on Symbian.

Currency (SPB Traveller) - occasionally (once a fortnight)

SPB Wireless Monitor (Daily - my telco can't seem to give me accurate usage estimates)
Pocket.RAR - lots at the moment... probably not so much in the future (I can't install winrar on my work pc)
Run.GPS UV Trainer - I would like to say daily... but I haven't been that good at the moment

Radio and MP3 - daily
Movies - a few times a week (currently using coreplayer).
Almost Forgot... soft reset - multiple times daily at the moment...
wow. Thanks for all the comments guys.
1) I agree with the emulators being crappy compared to Symbian and stuff. I really wish we had a better one cause I love the idea for landscape and having a keyboard.
2) I like the weather panel. Reminds me of the TF3D weather and the iPhones weather. Very nice.
What program are you guys running for the Wifi router? wifi router?

Hi All,
Shouldn't the question be, what don't you do with your Xperia. I travel all across the UK, Ireland and Central Europe with my job and since having the Xperia and an 8GB SD card I leave my laptop & TomTom 910 at home now as the X1 (along with the SE car charger) does it all for me!
Cheers,
Astoroth
phonecalls, msgs, im and checking emails
weather updates
alarm, appointments
surfing web with opera
youtube
games- virtual pool, bubble breaker
radio and mp3 (everyday)
occasional gps
snapping random and landscape pics, videos
watching videos (and showing off the nice vid qlty to my mates)
For some reason iplayer doesnt work on my X1, when i access iplayer using interent explorer a message comes up saying to "use iplayer on opera", when i go on iplayer on opera the page fills with lines of squares and thats it
I live in the UK and my network is 3, any ideas??

Yeah i have, i downloaded core player as wrll but it didnt work, when i played a video the bbc app would crash, then sometimes it would say "sorry bbc denied access" or there would be some random errors, or the screen would freeze and i would have to take out the battery, or sometimes the interent would not work, seems like a extremely bugg app, but no one else seems to have these problems.
Anyone in the Uk used iplayer on the X1, did it work?
I m very new to android (was in love with winmob 6.5 ), Now as i connected my mobile over bluetooth, it just shows as media audio n no other services like FTP, PRINTER, HDMI, etc. Even to option for sharing net, syncing contacts, or double clicking on *.apk to install it in my mobile:victory:. Is it wot Google gifted us? Or is it what we gifted by microsoft? Or it is just me?:crying:
