@masseur

thanks for that, I didn't check this thread.

So this is really bad news for X1 users then..

well, I can't imagine that it will be much different than usual for WM updates, except that SE are wrapping it up a bit tighter and controlling it all rather than expecting users to download a .EXE and run it themselves

I guess we'll find out more when the first update comes along

SEUS doesn't update live online. What it does is connects, downloads the firmware to your harddrive (encrypted of course), then the SEUS client on your computer installs the new firmware - if the internet disconnects at this point SEUS will continue updating the firmware since the file is already on your hard drive.

It's true you can't use SEUS without an internet connection, but it doesn't actually install the firmware as it downloads - it saves this step until the firmware has completed downloading.

Sorry, a little off topic, but hoping someone can help.

I've just installed Tomtom7 on my X1, and it's allowed me to download a free map which was a Cab file and installed itself within the Tomtom program.

However, it only has a map of Cambridge, and no voices. I have a standalone TomTom with lots of voices and UK maps. Is it possible to install these on my phone somehow (and if so, how?), or do they have to be specific maps and voices for TomTom 7 for WM.

@max_wedge, agreed. if it updated as it downloaded there'd be heaps more problems with bricked phones due to connection being lost etc

so for WM it will be much the same as usual for WM, but managed by SEUS.

@s32bauer, no, you can't use maps from standalone devices. TomTom 7 only supports the navigator maps v6 and v7 (currentl at v7.25)

To Masseur,
Every so often I noticed that the Back cover was becoming lose and You would have to push it back firmly, Then after a while the same thing would occur.
I then noticed inside of the battery cover the retaining clips which are located at the bottom, were pushed back, and wasn't seating correctly into the dimples on the side of the phone body, Since flexing these two clips outwards , I havent the problem repeat at all and the cover holds firmly in position, I had a suspicion about this issue before I had the phone , I read about it prior wrote comically about it,
"Damn wheres my cover?"
retracing your steps luckily you would find the back, Scratched, Gorged and rendered useless

Hi all,

I've had my X1 for a week now, and so far, after getting my head around the WM6.1, I'm starting to tweak it for my needs quite nicely. For those without an X1, it is the best phone I’ve ever had, even with the issues I’m about to go into below…

Few points/queries/questions for those with X1's (I'm on Vodafone):

1. Battery Life - is it just me or is it not the greatest?

Phone is never in stand-by mode (screen always on). Battery last less than 24 hrs of "light" use.

Light = max of 15 minutes call, 20 sms texts, 10 mins browsing, approximately. Your mileage may vary but in my world this is LIGHT usage.

2. Do you switch the "Data Connection" off, when not using the internet?

I've disable hotmail/push-mail and set it to "manual" in sync schedule.

3. Battery option "Backlight" set to Auto, Advanced "Turn off device if not used" unticked.

Obviously putting option 3 on, saves battery, but if you miss a call or sms, after the period set (max of 5mins) the phone goes into standby-mode, does not flash lights or anything! So the only way you know you've missed a call or a sms is by soft-power on. Personally that is rubbish! If I miss a call, etc. I want my phone to tell me until I've dealt with it appropriately.

Thoughts, suggestions, Windows hacks, all welcome. Will start my search as usual, but I'm not WinMob expert, and also have no desire to become one, being a Unix & large storage specialist.

Chris
