I have the xperia for almost 10 months. I have the original UK rom. Some of my problems are:
1) Τhe phone is over heating, not only when i charge it, but during the day too. In addition to this, when i charge it after about 5-6 hours the battery is dead without using the phone at all!! Sometimes, when i take it in my hands and is hot(without having used it in the meanwhile) i have to put it in the FRIDGE to drop the temperature!
2) It stucks all the time! It seems like it has very bad response times, because when i use the keyboard(virtual & hardware) it stucks so that i cannot write not even an sms properly. This happens with all apps too.(i have to wait a lot before they start running)
3)I have installed all the apps in the storage card but still the storage memory decreases!! I deleted opera's history, cookies and cache, also tried the "clear temp" app, but the storage memory still goes down and i get the annoying message of insufficient memory, but i don't know what else to delete to free up memory.
4)When i pull off the headphones the icon it is still there, and if i have a call they cannot hear me, neather can i. It is really distrurbing.
5) the camera app takes way too long to open and usually the images that i take are foggy and bad quality.
So, PLEASE GUYS TELL ME WAHT TO DO!!! I JUST CAN'T STAND IT ANYMORE!! i feel that the 500 euros i gave didn't worth it, something that makes me reaaly mad!
1) I think put X1 in the FRIDGE is a big mistake. (At least what I know) If your phone is getting hot then you just put it in fridge, it will make dew inside the motherboard. So your X1 won't operate well.
2) Hardware keyboard in X1 is malfacturing. Many X1 keyboard active users complained it. About virtual kb is usually caused by third party application. Maybe for software issue, you may hardreset it, and install less applications. SESC will repair the Hard Kb issue.
3)As I know, not all of application installed to Storage Card means they only use the Storage Card. Sometimes, they also need to install some part of the application dll or bla bla bla to internal memory to make them run. And of course, the leave footage memory.
4&5)Hmmm, it may relate to point 1) about putting your X1 in fridge
My advice, 1st Hardreset (Don't forget backup important information: using Active Sync or PIM Backup), then if the problem still continues (since you have X1 with original SPL and ROM, bring it to SESC, hope they'll fix it)
Correct me if I am wrong.

Ive been having some problems with my tmo wing lately in terms of extreem lagging. Ever since I have used pocket mechanic to defrag my storage card, everything went to sh1t on my phone. I cant boot my phone with my storage card in the slot or it will just reset when it gets to the green windows mobile background. And most importantly, whenever I open "Messages" on my phone, it takes honestly 5 or more minutes to open, then another 5 to open sms/mms then another 5 mins to open/reply to a sms. My program memory is usualy always ATLEAST over 10MB and I had batery status running and while i was opening these windows at the task bar it showed it was using 0% or minimal processor usage, so im assuming that it's not executing properly... does someone have a fix for this? can someone help me out? because to temporarely fix the issue i have to reboot the phone... thanks!

Here's something you should try.
Remove the card then insert it into a card reader at your computer. Copy everything on it and then format the card using FAT16.
Now back-up everything possible on the phone. (in your case this could take a while). Place the back-up file on the computer, if you use the card for back-up reformat it again after you complete the process. Then hard reset the phone and check to see if it still has this problem. Place the empty card inside the phone and try to copy some stuff to it. If everything is ok, restore your files using that back-up you just made. Check to see if the problem manifests now. If it does, clearly there is something rong with your program configuration and you may want to reinstall all your programs manually.
If the phone still runs slow after a master reset you should try to rewrite the phone's ROM as a last resort option. (your back-up copy woun't work after this). If it still runs slow even after this, then... well that's bad. It's something I call "the dead slow card problem". I've tried to find a fix for this for about 3 years on different htc products, but with no succes. The good part is that there's a very small chance this can happen in the normal every day usage. Try this things first and tell me what happens.
wow... Before i even attempt this surgery, i just want to say thank you very much for taking the time to write all this. it's very appreciated.
Before i try all this, i got a few Qs.
What do i use to back up my stuff on my device? or do i just copy paste important stuff... if so what about extensions and associated files...
And what involves a hard reset? does it effect the registry tweaks that i have done? in the end... what will be reset?

I really appreciate ur help! ive done as u said and everything seems fine now... my phone is now back to scratch, which im happy with so I can start fresh and avoid all that junk I had on before... THANKS FOR UR HELP! UVE BEEN GREAT! A+

Really wierd.
Vario III ran out of batteries yesterday, (not the 1st time this has happened) and so I left it plugged in to re-charge.
On powering up, all the SMSs had been deleted (Sent & Inbox)
My 2 POP email accounts were not there either.
Windows Live account (Unused) had gone too.
The only change was two apps had finished their trial (FFFriends and FunContacts), neither of which have a messaging element.
The attachments folder on the SD card is still there.
The memory usage on the phone hadn't changed, so the data is probably still there.
Anyone else experienced anything similar?
Any way of extracting the old SMS to a text file (or even restore!) - they contain receipts for London Congestion charges etc - would be nice to retain.
Update:
Re-creating the email account did not come up with "This account already exists" - which is what I was expecting, so it looks like they have gone for good.
Spoke to Jahn (FFFriends Developer) and I'm happy it's not the cause (never really thought so).
Has anyone else had a message wipe-out on WM6?
I never let the battery drain to 0%, so i can't say. It shouldn't delete anything, because when you power the device off, nothing is gone either.
No, it's a wierd one.
I've taken the opportunity to re-build it from scratch - (removing a lot of rubbish!) fortunatly I have all the CAB files on my SD Card.

Not had this myself but others have mentioned problems with a corrupt message store which could have probably been caused with your low battery. This can even disable messaging altogether as it gets stuck trying to load faulty data.
Only suggestion I can make is use a backup package at least once a week. Most of us business users are relying on our devices a lot now and it is only sensible practice to do the same as you would on a PC.
Sprite or Spb software can be configured to do an automatic backup of your most needed files either internally to the SD card or to the Activesync PC AND even to a Network drive.
Soz, I know this is closing the door after the horse has bolted (you have already re-written the accounts so data recovery is going to be impossible) but it may help in the future.
I had Sprite backup from start-up (provided on T-Mobile CD), forgot to install it again after 1st rebuild (once I found what I liked etc), and forgot to re-instate it -Dohhhh
Nightly backup re-instated.

Always best pal. Have a good Xmas and New year..
EDIT: MS thought that a non-volotile memory would solve all our problems on mobile... But! we are still held to a battery that can fail and if that happens on a write process, then.... The 'Kaiser' is not perfect on battery, but for a multi-function device, its not TOO bad. I have had Motorola's that barely lasted a day (Razor as an example with BT on). Always best to take maximum precautions depending on what you have on the device..
Charge mine every night just like an alarm clock at the side of my bed..
Last night I got a popup saying that my storage memory was low. it was at .05mb. I thought this was a bit low, but I went and deleted some stuff and got it up to 5.5mb. I then actually watched the memory count down to .01. I dont know if this is a virus or what. I tried to use sprite but it didnt work, also there is an icon was added to my HTC launch page, looks like a piece of paper witha windows symbol.
i have HTC Home, touch cube, kaiser tweak, voice command, garmin xt, just the basics. Please help
try clearing the browser's cache. the same thing happened on my old ppc even though I know I didn't have much installed, but clearing the cache fixed it.
I dont think it was the cache that was the problem but i could be wrong, i kept deleting stuff and nothingi did worked. Also when i hooked it up to sync it just kept cycling through the sync.
Needless to say i just did the hard/doft reset back the the beginining. Now I have to decide whether or not to reinstall all the programs or flash the rom
Are you using a cooked or stock ROM? A lot of cooked ROMs will contain fixed-size page pools, and while they are great for performance, they tend to have memory leaks.
i am using a the stock rom
None of the programs you listed are known for causing memory leaks, so I would reload all of them as usual, and see if the problem returns.
It may have just been some registry corruption causing it.
Well Windows is know to cause Memory issues.
Best thing I can recommend is a Hard Reset and Restore all your programs.

I see you're using Garmin XT, now i don't use that program, but does it download maps? I know that most mapping programs can chew through memory like you wouldn't believe. I use all the other programs and have never run out of memory before...of course truth be told, i've never left a rom on for very long either...
Hi everyone! I got my Wing like 2 months ago, and I did what every newbie does. I Installed lots of things just to realize that I would use 10% of the stuff. Then, started the cleanup,trying not to hard reset it, just as a matter of pride.
The worst thing I did to my Wing was Pocket Mechanic Pro. It's famous "registry optimizer" swept away my voice command among other things. After some research, and ivanmmj's inspiration (thanks again, ivan), I managed to fix almost every issue that PMP's registry optimizer caused. The only one remaining is that everytime I soft reset the phone, it keeps looping and never gets into today screen. T.Mobile logo and silly music, Windows mobile logo, and then after a while, starts all over again, and again, and again. The only workaround for this is to take the microSD out and when I see the today screen reinsert it. No big deal, but sometimes it's recognized as Storage Card 2 so I have to rename Storage Card and reinsert the microSD. Any ideas on what might be causing the restart loop?? Help would be really apreciated....
A thing may be you have missing registry keys and the OS identifies bad paths. Sometimes it happens with *folders* called "Storage Card" and then you must rename the SD card. (This happens usually if using software for english-only systems and you're using i.e. spanish WM which calls "Tarjeta de Almacenamiento" to the SD card, then you may fins sometimes a "Storage Card" as a folder, not the SD card).
Another *different* thing (I think that's not happening to you now) is the SD card is bad, and you must format it. Sometimes the device freezes without any apparent cause...
Well, I posted to your other thread about your problem, Ivan suggested you to hard-reset (I hard-resetted many many times my Herald... I'm a newbee forever ) and the best you can do is:
1) Search for a good ROM, do *every* previous step (including a search and download of your original ROM and Radio, etc.), and then install this ROM you prefer. A Light or Naked will help you to have an empty device to fill it at your own wish.
2) Look for an app which does backups, and backup your registry.
3) Look for an app which helps you to enter "safemode" if any problem appears. With Monocube v.2 you can align screen and enter to something similar to standard mode, with Monocube v.3 you can't but you'll be able to solve problems (those apps are not free)
4) Install Schap's Advanced config, and config your device (take care of configuring options for the Herald/Wing, not for the Kaiser or others)
5) Install on the device ONLY the apps you'll or your device will need. the rest, you'll have enough space for them in the SD card.
6) Try to minimize the use of RAM, so that you must have the fewest apps running.
7) Backup all your device again so you'll be able to recover your config without spending looots of days installing again.
8) If something wrong happens, you'll be able to boot in safe mode and correct it or to hard-reset and recover your old conbfig/installation.
Hello, over the last few days, my Diamond's being doing something very strange and seriously annoying:
All of a sudden, my handset began to perform sluggishly, and eventually hanging, meaning I had to reset.
After this, the handset had returned to factory settings (apart from the internal storage card) and required setting up as new.
Once I'd set the phone up again, re-installing all my usual programs, the phone worked as normal for around 6 hours, then the same thing happened.
I've installed a new ROM, and had the same trouble. The phone isn't completely unusable when symptoms start (I can still send and receive texts and make calls) but I can't use any installed programs such as Opera etc.
The way the phone acts feels similar to when a PS harddrive begins to develop bad sectors etc.
Anyone had similar problems and been able to fix without having to send the phone away? Somehow I don't think my operator would repair it!
Thanks for any help.
