Hey again.
I never wanted to start a Mac vs PC debate cos those are useless. I was just stirring
s32bauer:
I've only transcoded one video for my X1, and I noticed choppy video when the resolution of the video was greater than that of the screen. I have a 640x480 video playing fine on it. Any Aussies or Kiwis on the forum will like the video I happen to be talking about, watch it
here.
@Boris, all:
Sweet, glad to know you got the .NET framework on your phone (and that it's working). Now that you've got it I suggest you try another great little app that requires it, called hTorch. You can find it on the XDA forum. I have it in the seven shortcuts list on my Start menu, whenever I need a basic torch I just rip out my X1 and in a couple of taps I can use the camera LED as a torch
I don't know about vibrating when touching the screen, but you can get it to make a short soft sound by trying this... Go to Start > Settings > Sounds & Notifications. Tick Screen taps and then select Soft.

Yeah, thanks again for that. I haven't used a torch app since I owned my SE W850!... I'll download that! I loved using it all of the time on that phone! Good find. I'm going to post something on XDA about the vibrations to screen touch stuff since I'd like some sort of tactile response to screen presses. I tried the noises with screen presses thing when I first got the phone, but quickly turned it off because I found myself annoyed by it rather quickly...
What about a simple NES emulator? I found a version of Nester Plus that kind of worked, but was buggy as hell and played at the wrong resolution, other than that I can't find any of the standard freeware offerings (like PocketNES) in CAB form that work or will even load on the X1!

BTW, does anyone know how to enable a stereo bluetooth connection from the phone?... I have a adapter for my Sony surround sound system that allows me to listen to music streamed from a stereo bluetooth enabled device, however the X1 won't/can't establish the connection itself... How do you do this with a winmob smart phone???.... I've looked under the bluetooth options and see the device listed under paired devices, however there is no way to establish a connection with the device! If I click the device it'll just give me the option to refresh the connections list with out actually allowing me to connect to it! There has to be a work around since I could easily establish a connection with the same dongle on my N95 under it's bluetooth options?!? Anyone?

I hate to say it, but you guys are right. I just sent back my X1 on a return policy. I'm going to try another phone. I can't deal with the X1 anymore...too much of a letdown
Back to p910 for now...

Hmm, so if x1 can be upgraded to WM 6.5 will it change the way it performs??
Can WM 6.5 fixed the problems we are encountering with WM6.1??

I have now tried out the X1 (My Boss wants one) I found the keyboard far to small to be of any use and, the unit in the shop refused to see my SE Bluetooth headset HBH 970.
The touch screen for some reason seemed not be be very accurate and I got a lot of incorrect inputs compared to my W960.
The panels were not quite as slow to load as I had expected, but they did hang when changing from portrait to landscape view which I did not like.
But it is nice and shiny and partly made of metal (I realised that metal is not a great medium for handset construction when my P1 was marked after one small drop) but I think he will still get one.

Turns out what others have said about this JUST being "another Windows Mobile Phone" in SE clothing turned out to be true... To think I never knew what it was that they meant until now, but after about a weeks worth of use under my belt with Windows Mobile, I get the feeling that what they REALLY meant is that this phone is just a highly polished turd... I can't wait for the N97 to come out so I can unload this pig on someone else...
The X1 is not even a WM device in SE clothing it is a WM device in HTC clothing with slightly odd software by

hi, I am from Singapore. Just got my X1 yesterday. Wooohoo!!! =D
Can anyone help pls .......
How do i send a text msg to MULTIPLE receipients??
Been trying to figure it out the whole day! =(
Greetings from a fellow Singaporean as well
Windows Mobile does not have a option to send SMS to a group. You will need to add each recipient to the message in the 'To:' field manually. When you send the message, each recipient becomes a seperate conversation.
THANKS, Bloob!!! =D

After a lot of reading, lot of studying and lot of hunting i bought myself a silver x1. Being a user of the SE phones as my previous phones were P800 - P900 - P910 -P990 - P1i and now the X1. Have been a dedicated user of SE. Being a first time user of the Windows Mobile it took me a while to get used to it. Its fine after 2-3 days of use. I found the following problems a big problem:
1) Cannot do group SMS as i have to select the contacts one after the other.
2) Ringtone volume is HORRIBLY LOW. If its in a pouch and in your pocket you will miss 4 out of 5 calls. The vibrator somehow does not do a great job.
I want to know if anyone has found a way to tweak up this volume. I must say its not even as good as the P1i, dont even think of comparing it with the N series. I agree its a business phone but that itself means you cant miss business calls. I tried AudioPara3_XC tweak but it did not work atall.
Just a word of caution to all potential buyers. The SPEAKER VOLUME IS VERY VERY LOW. Reminds me of the old Nokia 8310 ringer!
