1. Yes, I have noticed that bluetooth doesn't seem to be very stable. It also often takes a very long time to find other bluetooth devices.

2. Yes, it's missing. Unfortunately I think it's meant to be missing.

And for that bug list. I have written down about 20 topics that could be better. But only a few of them are real bugs as I see it.

What I don't like is that I can't see the exact time for SMSes that are older than one day as long as I have the chat-view on.

If you want I can send the complete list to you. It is in swedish, but that would probably be no problems for you.

Here's a question for all you owners: now that you have your X1, would you say that the product justifies the price you paid for it? Or, given the choice, would you have gone for something cheaper (e.g. the touch diamond)? I suppose this doesn't apply if you got it on contract, but for those who didnt, anyway.

right cool, thats the thing im never patient, i just bought an n96 two weeks ago for 450 pounds what a dissappointment, now i want a change

ive never had a win mobile phone before. quick question how would i update the software of the phone i think its what u call ROM, my x1 will be unbranded and unlocked so no operator software will be needed when updating so would a direct update from sony erricson website do? and how easy is it to update and do things go wrong and ure phone turn into a brick?

for those who have the black one does it not look like two phones been stuck together with the black screen and silver keyboard contrast?

sorry for so many questions but ive never had a win mo phone before so quite scary

windows mobile phones are usually updated by a single executable that you download from the support site. I expect SE will provide these direct from the X1 support pages.

its dead easy to do it, just run the program you downloaded and it prompts you for everything. I've been updating WM phones, and pocket pc device before that using the same method, and never bricked on yet

if you start using customised firmware (as found on xda developers site), you might have issues but these days they take great care and do alot of testing

Hi all,

Well it's been a while with the X1 now and i must say it really is a very good device indeed and one of the best from SE for quite a while IMO.

I do have quite a few things I'm just not very happy with the first being that the volume on the Music player is not really loud enough as although it's OK inside I'm not sure what it will be like when out and about.

The second thing is even though i have selected the largest fonts size available it is still quite small.

The device on the whole reacts very well and really it is only the panels that have a slight delay whilst they refresh which brings me to what i think is my first bug. Although i have changed what the left and right button shortcuts activate and they do what i have assigned to them. They still show what they were originally assigned to in the panel and have not and appear will not change to show what they should be anyone else seen this?

My last problem i would appreciate some advice on as i am running Vista i no longer need Active Sync but have to use Windows Mobile Device Centre and it works very well for Syncing my Calender and Contacts and would also sync my E-Mail, Music, Videos, Pictures and files if i wanted it to. But i can't see any way of moving my downloaded apps to my device any suggestions would be welcome.

As much as i am impressed with the build quality and stability of the X1 I'm really not sure if it's the right device for me or not. That is not saying there is anything wrong with it as nothing could be further from the truth just that i don't like the font size and am slightly concerned by the lack of Volume in the Music player although the quality of sound is very good indeed. Well i am going to give it a few more days before i reach my final decision and see if i can find a way to install apps easily or not.

Marc

Hi masseur,

I am wondering about this and yes, I need to research more.



I guess this is tHe same for the X1! For my TyTn II, I downloaded

RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_3.28.405.0_radio_sign_25.83.40.02_1.65.17.56_Ship.exe

but never bother to install it. I can see the pdf with it that says what the improvements are.

So I guess, I make a back up of my programs on the TyTn II using Sprite,

then run this executable from HTC, with my TyTn II plugged in to the USB cable, and then sit back.

I wonder then if I restore using Sprite, whether it will put back Exchange server, address book, tom tom etc.

Basically, is this correct?

Ofiaich

@Dogmann

there seem to be 2 volume controls. The phone volume and the media player volume; the phone volume seems to amplify the media player volume.

PS - my black X1 is better build quality then my silver which a slight squeak on the back lower half. So hopefully I can return the silver in exchnage for a G1

Try Jah's suggestion (make sure both volume sliders are turned up fully).

However this may be an SE thing. A while ago, when music phones first started (around about the K700 era I think), Music phones got some bad press in Europe for having loud volume that could damage hearing, especially of young people whose hearing could be permanently damaged. Ever since they've had this policy of making sure the volume can't accidently do permanent damage to people's hearing.

The old "protect people from themselves" malarky. It really irritates me that they pander to this sort of thinking. Some other phone oem's have similiar policies but SE seem to be more sensitive than most about it.

It's equally irritating that people think it's okay to sue an OEM for damaging their hearing when it was they themselves (not the OEM) who turned the volume up too loud. It should be a person's choice. Besides I think SE could raise the volume just a little and still be within reasonable safe limits.

So I'm wondering if SE have put this volume limit as part of their usually policy of restricting the upper volume to "safe" levels?

It's disappointing. I usually find the volume level okay, but occasionally in a noisy environment, even with the excellent sound isolation of the HPM70 ear buds, the volume is not quite strong enough.
