Does is it have a mega bass?
And if how good is it?

Peace and thanks

Thanks for the update, checking every day to little news was getting a bit frustrating!

As far as new requests; some new video of the video recording features, of someone using the keyboard (any sticky keys etc?), and while in Opera flipping screen orientation would be great! Did there end up a separate button for changing screen orientation of do we have to map a key?

Thanks again!

Will both the colors be available for purchase early October ?

cheers.

Is Flash supported in Xperia X1 when using the Opera browser?

Thanks for that clarification Sam and Ramanath.

It is greatly appreciated.

However, to address the two versions of the phone,

In what ways is the US version different from the other one?

i.e. in speculation it has been said that the US one has 24fps video recording instead of 30fps and plays in QVGA 320×240 and not VGA 640×480.

Thanks again.

Hi and thank you for your great weblog
Please answer my 2 questions.
1- Does X1 support GPS or it just supports a-GPS?
2- Why X1 does not support SE Bluetooth watches such as MBW-150?
Regards

Really great to see that you are answering people’s questions first of all. I can only hope that this continues after the launch of the phone and obviously for the length of time that the phone is being sold.

Anyway, with respect to the lack of an accelerometer, I do hope it is convenient to assign a button to switch the orientation of the screen, without having to sacrifice usability in some other program or interface. Because I have no idea really how many buttons are on the phone in total except for the ones on the front. If you are using those to scroll web pages and return to the home screen for example, I would be curious to see if other buttons can be allocated to that specific function of screen rotation.

I had an ipaq 4700 and even thinking back, I have no idea what I would use an accelerometer for but it would have been nice of course to have the option of turning it on or off.

It is also unfortunate that there are two versions of the phone. So I can only hope that the specs are extremely similar except for a difference in frequencies maybe. Having said that however and not knowing much about cellphone frequencies and their inner workings, I do find it strange that you could not have put all the required frequencies in one phone and simply have one model. But as I said, I don’t know enough about the technology from such a perspective.

Finally, it is unfortunate that you have no idea which networks would launch it. True I cannot blame Sony for this at all but I was at Verizon in the U.S. and was asking them “about a non Sony phone” which has been on the Internet for 3 or 4 months now. The manufacturer said they will be releasing the phone with Verizon around the end of October and even after going into the Verizon store and asking about the phone, the employees and store manager had no idea what I was talking about. So it is really frustrating at times when people who work in the industry, do not seem to keep up with what is going on or don’t really care.

To the editors: If I cannot put Verizon in the post, please remove it and simply put “a US cell provider” or something like that.

Will the media player have SensMe Channels?

Does the X1 have a stylus holder incorporated?

As always, people ask the same questions over and over. Look around, the answres are out there youre just to lazy to search for them! Anyway, I have a question that I have not seen anywhere before and that I really would like answered: Is the screen in hardened glass or not?

I’m in Jamaica and i absolutly love this phone but i really need to know the prices and where it will be coming out first what market, in the US or UK. i need to know

Is there another way to change the screen in landscape-mode, except sliding out the keyboard? Is thera a dedicated button or something like that? I haven’t seen it anymore in any vid, but in a early version, there was this key: http://sirnobax.googlepages.com/knopje.jpg

Is the Xperia X1 MicroSD 16GB ready?

I was wondering if anyone knows how much the phone will cost here in the United States. I’m not expecting it to come with a light price tag with all the stuff everyone’s drooling about but if it’s to much I’m not even waiting for the release.

How quick is the response time of the screen while in camera or video mode?

For example, a digital camera will show a realistic image on the lcd as you move around, while many mobile devices will show a blurry or streaky image while panning around, especially in low light situations.

A video from the user’s perspective of the X1 taking pictures and video would be very much appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi,
if you visit http://www.sonyericsson.com/x1 official site of x1 you will find two different kind of keyboards in different images. one keyboard is having key and smaller space bar and another one havnt ctrl key. so which one is correct or SE is releasing 2 different versions.

thanks!!!

Will there be a one-stop shop for additional panels? It would be nice to not have to trawl the web for panels, and to be able to see a catalogue of them - not having to download them to the phone to see what they’re like would be good.

Jonathans last blog post..Enumerate Exchange Public Folder Client Permissions for a User/Group

all new phones have accelerometer
how come your xperia doesn’t have?
very strange !!!
please include it in your phone. it really lacks this feature.
this feature is a must in every new phone nowadays.

hey i have seen the x1 on youtube and the phone seemed to be running slow i was wondering if that had been fixed is it running raster now?

cheers
andrew

Do you plan on launching this in Pakistan? If yes, then any idea about the timing?

Also what will be the cost of an unlocked phone?

Erums last blog post..Canon SX10 IS - Time To Go Shopping!!

[...] i really don’t think so Your Xperia Questions Answered | Xperiancers __________________ [...]

Can you use/edit Microsoft Word and Excel spread sheets on the X1? I use my phone for work and need to utilize these programs on the go.

Thanks.

I’m looking forward to the US release of this truly awsome phone. KM question is about
media players on the X1. Will there be an alternate to Windows Media Player preinstalled on the X1?

I live in the US. Will I be able to buy an unlocked phone and use a T-Mobile sim card? I read that it is coming to the US, but not sure when.

Which media players will be included with the S.E.X1?

Will the front camera or the ram or graphics accelerator be taken out of the American version?

Jeanne -> The X1 includes the latest Office Mobile suite. The Office Mobile application suite includes Microsoft Office Word Mobile, Excel Mobile, and Microsoft Office PowerPoint Mobile for Windows Mobile 6 powered devices, helping users manage and review documents. Microsoft Office Mobile includes support for rich reviewing and minor editing capabilities as well as support for rights-managed documents.

Other improvements include:

* Enhanced viewing experience for charts in Excel Mobile
* Ability to view SmartArt in PowerPoint Mobile
* Ability to view and extract files from compressed (.zip) folders

Another question I have is when you are playing music or the FM radio, does it have to have the headphones plugged in or can you play through the stereo speakers that the phone has?

i can use some im client with webcam feature?

Where can I buy the xperia ?

Hi

Is the silver model of X1 avaiable at launch date in Sweden or is it the black that hit the shelves first and the silver come sometime later? Im abit worried because SE have done this in the past. First one color option then a month later another come.

David-> Both versions, the black and the silver, will be available at delivery date. I myself have ordered the black one, but I know several people who have ordered the silver one.
Delivery should be around 10th of October here in Sweden.

Hi,

Can you tell me:
When the X1 will be released to Canada
Who will be the chosen carrier in Canada
Can the X1 run on CDMA?

Thanks,

Hi,

i think the xperia looks nice. However, I have one question: There are some phones that have an tv-out like for example htc touch pro. The xperia has not as I understand. Is there a way of bringing out signals to a tv screen and a beamer?

There has been a comment about the keyboard not being very good, where will I be able to check that and when (coming from Germany)?

Best regards
Chris

Having had the P910i and the W950i, using a stylus has become second nature. Indeed with the “keypad” on the W950i it really was the ONLY way to use the phone.

I imagine that the screen and keyboard will take over, but does the X1 have a stylus holder incorporated?

Hi again,

I read something about dlna, will the xperia include that feature and how can I use it? Does someone know the SAR of the xperia?

Best regards
Chris

Watch the videos. It has a stylus.

It’s an absolute joke that S-E titles a post ‘Your Questions Answered’ which prompts 36 more questions that are ignored for almost a week and counting.

I had high hopes for this site as a direct link of open communication between the manufacturer and customer, and I really thought Sony Ericsson was on to something. Ha! So far it’s been little more than advertising and PR fluff.

When is the launch date for the U.S.?

I’m in the market for a new phone, but I’m not going to wait 2-3 months unless I have a definate time-table. I love the phone, by the way, and I don’t mind paying for an unlocked version.

@Adam - Watch some of the videos they have both on Youtube and in the video section. Several of them clearly show that there is a Stylus and it is stored with in the side of the phone. There is a hole at the top adjacent to the Power button where you stick it in.

@Chris - Doubtful, there is a mini-usb connection. The only way I could see possibly doing this is connecting it to a computer via USB and playing content from the phone and then using TV out on the computer to a television etc.

@TheWhite Snowman - There hasn’t been any word on whether or not there will be a CDMA version. I would be inclined to say no there wont be. Being that this is a GSM phone you are looking at probably using it on whatever GSM network is available in Canada…As far as version I believe you will want to the US version, but I’m not really clear on networks Canada uses.

@Christon Burns - Radio requires headphones to be plugged in. MP3’s, Movies do not. Headphones act as an Antenna for the radio since there is no built in one.

@Carl - Yes, you will need to buy and unlocked version of the phone. T-mobile wont ever pick this phone up, but it does have the required frequency for the t-mobile network so unlocked version will be fine. Check websites online for it, you will probably be able to buy it on Amazon.com, Ebay obviously, and many many mobile retailers.. I use mobilecityonline.com 90% of the time for unlocked GSM phones.

@Andrew - All of the videos on youtube at this time of the phone feature pre-release demo units. Most, if not all are running a still buggy rom as well as the original 256MB of RAM. There is 1 video with a SE rep giving a demo and he is using what he says is the upgraded model with 384MB of ram, though still not a final release rom and you will see that the panel system is much much quicker than the rest of those videos. Also, keep in mind since its a WM6.1 phone there are definitely some memory management issues in that OS. A lot of them can be fixed with simple registry tweaks though. Check the XDA developers forum for more information on this.

ok thats enough for now. I am not affiliated with this site, all of these questions are either just a case of common sense knowing what you know about the phone and bits and piece from demos given of the phone by SE reps.

@KCmatt we’ll be coming back to you with more answers shortly, sorry if the delay is frustrating.
@milnz - thanks

I need to find out if it supports ALS (Alternate Line Service). Any answers please? Thanks.

Thanks for the response, but as you can see, someone not affiliated with the site has stepped up and answered some of the questions. Maybe this is what you want, a support community of users just like xda, howard, or any other forum. But I think there is an incredible amount of interest and anticipation right now, it’s up to you what you do with it.

Leave people frustrated and ignored, to figure things out on their own, spending time sorting through all the information, disinformation, and redundant questions… or not having the time to do so and moving on, or for those that have the device, continuing to use it with an unsolved issue and not being truly happy with it…

Or you can take control. Give people what they want: Quick responses to their questions, a place to go and easily find a solution to their problem, where all the information an Xperia user could ever need is organized and kept up-to-date!

The X1 may not be much different than a Touch Pro. You have the user experience (panels) which may be a little better, but if you can use this site to make the ongoing chore of keeping a feature-packed Windows Mobile device such as this operating smoothly and effectively to its full potential, THEN you’ve really got something different than anything else out there.

To me, that might be the biggest incentive to owning this device.

I’m thinking about getting this phone but there is no info after all this time about the price or the carrier of the phone for US release. Is it to much to ask for a answer please.

MobileCityOnline.com list the X1 unlocked (pre-order) for $999.00! Ouch! Delivery is for October 23rd. AT&T will be the carrier sometime in the future, hopefully with a discounted price with contract.

@Sam - No it doesn’t. Its not a Dual-Sim device.

@Mike - Read through what I posted before about carriers. SE wont release information about potential carriers. It is up to the carriers themselves to tell consumers whether they are going to carrier a specific phone. As far as the US is concerned you’ve got 2 potential networks that can make use of the phone (T-mobile and At&T) I can say with almost 100% certainty that t-mobile will not pick up this phone given their recent launch of G1 Android phone. They don’t need competition for that as its a flagship phones in terms of OS and usage for them.

At&t is a wild card, but I would be inclined to say that they are pretty unlikely to pick up the X1 as well.

You will however have the ability to buy this phone unlocked from a mobile phone vendor and use it freely on their networks. However you will be paying full price as they are not a carrier and can not subsidize phone prices in lieu of a 2 year agreement. So, if you want this phone, buy it online, unlocked if you are in the USA.

If you are concerned about the price, convert the pounds and you will have a ballpark figure to save for! So there is that solution, and I think if you read above you will see that it says that there is an unlocked version available, so if you want it that badly you can purchase the unlocked phone and the appropriate sim card for your carrier. Personally from my experience, you will probably find it cheaper buying an unlocked version than waiting for the US release, but that is just my opinion. Unless you are renewing your contract you are getting SCREWED if you purchase it straight up from a carrier.

tommys last blog post..Sony Releases Several New Xperia X1 Promo Videos

Hi, since its been released, can someone tell us its SAR rating?

I will buy that phone…it’s just amazing , but I have to ask ..when it will be released in Bulgaria..please answer soon because I can hardly wait

Does it Play Youtube videos & Flash on the Opera Broweser ?

Thanks

May I know what is the light sensor for?

when will it come to australia ??
and what price range?

I’ve been waiting for this phone for ages, but can’t get my head around the onboard memory. I couldn’t find specs on the onboard memory on the SE website so had to go to a third party site.
The info I have found is 400mb phone memory and 512mb on the memory card. The Samsung Omnia has 8 GIG, the iPhone has 8 GIG or 16 GIG, and the Nokia N96 has 16GIG. I had hoped the Xperia would be comparable.
Is the data I found incorrect or does the Xperia really only have less memory than my 19 month old SEW950 with it’s 2Gig memory card?? My 2gig card won’t even work in the phone so on top of £500+ I’d need to buy another memory card, just doesn’t make sense!

@mlinz - Re: ALS

Thanks for your reply - but I don’t think you understood my question. ALS/Line 2 isn’t a dual-sim issue. Line 2 is provided in the UK by Orange where you have 2 numbers/lines on one physical SIM. You can recieve calls on either line and switch between whichever line you want to make outgoing calls from via a menu/shortcut.

I’ve been told the X1 does support it (contrary to wiki article and other reports), but need to clarify it from a ‘live’ source…

Thanks again.

@Marie - The phone has built in memory of up to 400MB depending on preloaded config (basically if its picked up by a carrier, what crap they want to put on it) There is a memory stick slot that offers memory expansion up, they say up to 16GB, but 32GB might be a viable option as well. It doesn’t come with that much onboard memory because there are a lot of other things in there, the battery is larger, keyboard and arc slider etc. Have to keep weight and size down…Other phones like the iphone for instance use a solid state disk for storage, there is no option to expand the memory with a memory stick..having that gives you some flexibility etc.

Does it Play Youtube videos & Flash on the Opera Broweser ?

and why they removed the dedicated Orientation Button ?

Thanks for the second time

good idea this, to be able to ask some questions, anyway just a little one as i just wondered if the photo light can be used as flash light ? or maybe a work around like its always on in camera or video mode ?

thx

terry

How much will the X1 be on contract?

Can SE tell me what store they have shipped it to? and why isnt it available through their own online store?

For anyone who has been asking about unlocked availability, clove are shipping it on friday price £439 (excluding VAT) £515 with it (clove.co.uk)

I’m a bit confused. White papers say that the built-in memory is 256MB and not 384MB as it is stated above. So which one is it?

I’m also confused about the 384Mb ram. I just read over at esato.com forum that there’s only 256Mb of RAM in the retail version and that at least 2 members there have a retail unit with only 256Mb of RAM. Can you put any light in this matter?

Thank you.

check http://www.pda.net it says that the RAM is 384 MB

sorry the site is http://www.pdadb.net

has it geo-tagging

does anyone know if it has any IM capabilities?

does X1 work with BlackBerry Connect for push email?

hello, I’m hoping to load “Memory Map” onto the phone to utilise the GPS feature. Do you think this will work?
many thanks

256MB RAM…confirmed by SE reps in live chat today!!!

What about keyboard for languages which have a bigger number of letters than English?

I would like to look at live scores on football betting websites. This is not allowed on the Blackberry as it does not have flash player istalled. Is this possible on he experia?

I believe its 256 MB RAM and 128 MB For Video Accelerator so total is 384 MB as they Mentioned here and in other sites like pdadb.net

Hi
I live in Australia and am wondering if there will be an Australian release, and if possible what time we can expect this or atleast an announcement of the release.

Also one thing im yet to find out is if the video recorder also records sound? I assume from watching Johnny X film himself that it does, but can someone please confirm this for me.

Thanks heaps

Does anyone know how to import mp3 music as ring tones?

Does the X1 support the Bluetooth-Watches MBW-150?

Sorry Sony, but the last 5 phones from the P800 have all been Sony Ericcson. and all the time you string us along with the launch date. Even when I phoned your customer services, I was told “If you dont want to wait go and buy something else” . What a terrible thing to say. Well I have taken your young ladys advice and bought a htc touch pro. Will wait no longer (Feb to November is long enough)

i love this product (xperia x1)..i would like 2 buy this, but how much the price?thx

Why does the comparison page on the official Sony Ericsson site show so many blanks for the Xperia e.g. against available functions. It makes it look like it has less functionality than the P990i.
It’s obviously not been fully populated - how bad is that?

Is it possible to have the norwegian language on the xperia x1 ? And does it have øæå ?

in answer to the questions posed asking for compatibility with bluetooth watches

there are two or three free applications on the market for the se bluetooth watch to allow this to work with wndows mobile phones running version 4,5 and 6 as with the x1
covering mbw-100 upwards there free so do a seach on smartwatchm and btwatch

these will offer more functionality than the current se phones do !

i’ve already downloaded both versions to try and all i need is the phone…..

Hello there,

I Was wondering, what are all these letters people keep saying, like WMA and whatever else?

Should I be aware of these letters,

I Am very interested in this phone and love it muchly!

I am not sure which colour to get, black or silver.

Anyway, the big question for me, If i am going to buy the phone on contract not PAYG which I am most definatly not seen as though it is £480… i am in the UK by the way!
So, if I buy the phone on contract and see that £45 a month is a lot. Is there anyway i can lower the price, by taking features away like, Gps for example?

Please Answer Back…

Regards,

Myles.

Myless last blog post..Welcome to my site…please visit the pages above.

a question for you all ….
mines on vodafone and trying to take a photo in 3megapixles the phone wont allow me to zoom ? anyone else experiencing this ?

if so why are we not allowed to zoom - my older sony ericsson’s would allow this feature??

have i found a bug??

Dez, mine is the same, as was my previous phone.

Had mine a few days now, on Vodafone uk, but major problem is it won’t work as a modem on my laptop, either on USB or Bluetooth. Sony say it’s a known problem that Vodafone need to rectify, and Vodafone say it’s because Sony haven’t issued a PC Suite, either way as a result the phone will be going back.

you can get the phone for only £35 a month visit http://www.mobiles.co.uk for deals.

it does play you tube.:)

What carrier, for the LOVE OF GOD….WHAT CARRIER??

Hello

Will X1 sync with mac ?

Question. does this Xperia X1 has Chinese Traditional software program in reading and writting? with pen ? where I can buy this phone ? in US or Taiwan ? I use AT&T service. if I buy this phone, can I use at AT&T ?

Please reply my questions as soon as possible.

I am sorry to say that my new X1 was shipped with a defective installation CD, my computer (sorry to say it´s a Sony, nice design but way too expensive) keeps on saying it wants to send a message to Microsoft (as if it was any business of them!) to tell them all about it. First hour with the new gadget, first disappointment.
Second disappointment: The in-built camera. I did not know they still made cameras so slow.

im having problems with my screen the backlite keeps going dull[ or off]
this may sound trivual to you but i cannot see anywhere i can adjust this
also i can only get 7 panels,,,every time i try to add,i press select,but nothing happens

the X1 is certainly a good phone,,a tad heavy perchance

Fantastic how quick you folks are at answering the questions… (sarcasm applied)

When is the US release?
What UTMS bands will the X1a version cover?
Which carrier will offer the device?

??????????????????????????????????????

Hope(if I should get an answer) its really true and official. All kinds of numbers are around about the capacity for microSD cards. Which one is true and (if its 16 gb) will an softwareupdate in future rise it up to 32 gb??
I know, this is not an Walkmanphone, but we are getting into the year 2009…

Hi, is anyone aware that there may be a potential issue with the X1 case, ie cracking near the stylus hole? I’ve been monitoring forums, and there seems to be a common theme emerging where a number of X1 users have experience this problem.

I’m hoping that this is only a bad batch, as I’m really want to buy the X1.

Apparently, its occurring on the silver case, more than the black case. However I have read some posts indicating the problem occurred on some black cases as well. It also appears that some local Sony web sites have removed the silver color as a available option?

i wonder why the sms cannot put song (mp3) instead of normal ring.

The incoming call notification was very small and push the botton to answer call was very low tech. This is one thing I didn’t like about the X1

Is there a dialer software/cab similar to HTC HD touch to use on Xperia?

I bought x1 in Germany and found out that i cannot easily change the system language since i don’t speak German.
Please let me know how can i change to English

Can u tell me at what price xperia will be launched at India ?

Any advised other than take it back to the shop will be welcomed as the shop is my final straw.

Does anyone know when X1 will be available in stores in the US??????

Any Mac users here - no compatability at all i’ve been told - shamefull this day and age

Why isnt the black version available in America? and when will it be available in America

Just bought my X1 in sweden but Im not able to change the language to english same as alex.
I cant believe this! Honestly, were soon in 2009. Had I asked the shop keeper if I can change the language of the phone he would have laughed at me.

Please someone answer soon!

I would love to know if the xperia has 2 external speakers or just 1…because in some videos/pics i have seen the device with 2 small speakers as well as 1…so would i be able to purchase the xperia with 2 speakers from a certain place or those were just prototypes??

I bought mine in sweden and it has only one external speaker.

And yeah umbrellafella, even if you connect it to the mac as a mass storage device all you can do is read and open files, but you cant write on the card. In other words you can view an image on the memory card and copy it, but you can’t add a new one or a song.

i would like to know when is the phone Xperia coming to canada
thank you

bye

i use SyncMate for my mac, it sure kinda helps a lot

ive just got the x1 its awesome… who would of thought u could have this with a phone… my issue at the moment is the battery lasts about 9hrs without much usage, wifi off and bluetooth off… this is an issue…. do i have a duff battery?

dubz - go to this post http://xperiancers.com/2008/09/23/project-hercules/ and check out the comments by crash override. I’ve not tried it myself but it has done the trick for some other people with the same problem.

I am new user for the widow mobile. I have the following problem on the Mobile,
The contact data base has limited number on the contact only you can enter 4 telephone number while in Nokia E90 I can add as much I want for each contact when I transfer my contact from E90 to Xpirera I have real problem and I have to go back to my old mobile Nokia E90 do you have a solution.

My X-Peria is often ‘hang’, with no respond of the keys and the display became cut.
what is the solution?

How do I find out:
a) whether the internet connection is using wi-fi or the cellphone signal from my airtime supplier?
b) how much of my monthly data allocation I have used?

Well I am using this phone for past two months… And I am using it just for basic purpose, that is calling.. No multimedia, no net surfing…. Not even the panel change… and still my battery dies out before night…..

Its just double the battery life of any normal laptop, which is not good for a mobile…

how much is the xperia phone in australia

Quick GPS * Download * It worked only once (Dec. 2008) * After expiration date I tried about 50 times: pressing button “Download” … 25%…50%…75%…100%………… nothing more will happen; even while waiting for 30 Minutes or more (display always: “100%”). What could be the problem?

I have a crack with my Xperia, as with others having this device. It cracked near the volume control rocker. However, local Sony Ericsson only agreed to repair the damage with a hefty(note the hefty) fee. There are no visible damage other than the crack. It is outrageous that a high-end expensive device have cracks that compromised the brand name of this company.

Also, the keyboard of this device degenerates overtime. You click on keys on the keyboard, you feel the tactile response/feedback, BUT THE KEY ISN’T typed. Please respond.

hi,

I ove this phone pretty and my gf is a bit jealous so i need to buy her her own.
I need to find out how do i edit the broadcast channels…?
Gmail takes long to load - how can i solve this one also.

I have a Xperia since yesterday now, and the first thing i did was buying and implementing a 4G memory card. Now I have connected the xperia to my computer, but I cant reach the Memory Card. Is this normal, cause with my old phone (Samsung E900 with 1G memory card) i just had to connect it to my computer and I directly gained acces to my memory card. I hope you have an idea for me how to reach the MC.
Waiting for response

what size memory card can the x1 take ?

I purchased Sony Ericsson X1 set last week in Germany. But I have problem in operating it due to language.I am not native of German Speaker ,I don’t know German. While purchasing dealer told me you can do language setting while installing. Now this mobile don’t ask for any language setting. I contacted local service center in Germany , but they unable to help in this case. They said you can’t do language setting or format the current the german operating system and change to English. I don’t believe this , I still think one can change the operating system or there will be some method to change the language of the mobile. At least company like sony ericsson won’t do such big mistake for language setting.

I need to know is there any possibility of changing the language in X1??..if answer is the ‘NO’ …then I am seriously dispointed with Sony ericsson. Becuase even in such advanced mobile set , they do some serious problems which can be easily rectified. Looking forward to get some help otherwise I need to return this set.

I have had my X1 for only a week now and it has frozen on three times. The first time it froze I could not use the buttons or the stylus to operate the X1, I pulled out the battery and when it re-started I still could not use the sylus but it could operate with by using my finger. It also kept everything in landscape and I could not get it to return to portrait. I also lost all pictures I had taken and documents I had saved to the X1. It would also not allow me to do the accuracy check (with stylus - following the “x” around the screen to calibrate).

The second time it froze I was in the middle of taking a picture. After taking the picture the screen appreared with “saving” it remained this way for over 10 minutes before, again I pulled the battery and restarted. This time it everything is in portrait but if I swith to using the keyboard the screen stays in portrait. Although I didnt lose any data or information already stored.

Third time it was similar to the 2nd time, just froze with “saving” on the screen.

My X1 gets very hot if I am operating it for more than 20 minutes at a time.

Is anyone else having these sorts of problems or may have any advice on fixing the “freezing”? Also how to get the X1 to start operating in landscape when I open the keyboard.

Thanks

Gary

How would you address people who’s X1 developed cracks? It seems so that SE’s only answer to us is that it is the first time we have heard such an issue and your the only one who ever complained about this. and we have never heard such thing? Is it already programmed in your call center agents to answer like this wherever they are in the world?

Pouvez vous me dire si le clavier horizontal du Xpéria est rétro-éclairé ?
si oui, me communiquer la procédure pour ce faire

merci

I been a fan since the unvealing of the xperia x1, and i am only a month away from actualy getting the device. but there are so many things holding me back. one key thing is this whole windows mobile 6.5 thing. I would be very upset to buy a $700 device and months later windows mobile is released and i cant download the new version espeacialy when i know that the devices is capable of running the OS. So my question is, is the Xperia x1 windows mobile 6.5 ready and will I be able to download it to my device?
Alot of people would tell me to hold out and wait for windows mobile 6.5 to be released, when i feel that its stupid to wait for the OS to be realeased because it has not been annouced when it would be out. And that it should have been out by now considering the fact the xperia said it would run 6.5 during its release.
I understand that it will be months until you can actualy answer this question but i come to you guys because you might be able to talk to these blue collar execs.. and get some answers.

Thanks

I have recently bought a Xperian in Netherlands and would like to know how can I change it to English language from Dutch.

Is there a way to change the standard settings for short cuts to dial numbers. It now requires to point the short cut on the touch screen and then try to touch the tiny “yes” button in the pop up screen (extremely dangerous while driving the car). I’ld like to confirm with one of the bottom burrons or skip confirmation. Can this be done?

I have a new XPeria phone, have paired with my Bluetooth stereo player for my car, I can make and receive calls, but cannot stream audio from my Xperia to the Stereo, any idea on what could I check or configure?

Best Regards

Hi, i’m Timothy from Jakarta, Indonesia. I’ve just bought a X1 a couple days ago, and I’m not satisfied with it… It doesn’t have a stereo speakers like I expecting it to be, and the sound quality was just terrible…

I love the phone from the first time I saw it, but now, just about 3 days from the time I bought it, I wanna sell this phone..

Please tell me how to change the standard ringtones into a mp3 ringtones?

The system was just to complicated for me (that was my first impression when i’m using my BlackBerry Storm for the first time, but after a few while, I’m able to manage it, but with this X1… Aaaarrrgh!!! I just can’t handle it…)

Does anyone wanna buy mine?

And more of it, when I activated one of the panel which is show the city where we are live, it always open with the following city : New York, Tuesday, Jan 01, 2008 then suddenly it changes to the setting that i’ve sets before, Jakarta, present date…

It’s not a real problem maybe for some people, but still, it annoying…

And the battery lasts not for long.. I’ve just charged the X1 yesterday, then I let it until the next day without using it at all, now the battery life bar is just half from it full condition..

And one thing important, how can SE X1 comes without Equalizer for it music player (Windows Media Player)???

When you’re listening music from it “mono” speaker, the output sound is too treble, I thought if I use the headset it will boost the bass sound, but there’s no differences… As for information, I bought the X1 so I can pairing it with my Motorola O ROKR sunglasses bluetooth headset, but the sound quality was just too… You answered it yourself!

when i send someone a meeting request through the calendar using any email account, the recipients always get the invitations as though they were for that same day.
how can this be corrected? what can be causing this?

Many of the above are questions I would have asked. Why are there no published answers from the experts at SE?

hi, how can i assign a personal ringtone for a particular contact?

I Have the same problem with the Time on the Panel not accounting for Daylight Saving.

Come on SE, lets get some support - it’s a good phone, but the details are letting you down (unable to change language from factory default! - you’re having a laugh!!)

Those with short battery lifes, have you run the software updater?
And I’ve got an 8GB card in mine, and it works fine.. for those wishing to upgrade memory, it’s at least capable of that.

Hello,

I cannot use the bluetooth connection with my laptop.

Hardware : Dell Latitude 620, and Xperia X1i on the other side.
Of course, I established bluetooth connection between phone and laptop, the devices are added as trusted both on laptop and phone, but ActiveSync software does not work with it :((

Adding na COM port for bluetooth on PC has changed nothing. I enabled only ‘incoming port’, the ‘outcoming’ was impossible to select because laptop have not found devices with such service running :((
ActiveSync is not finding device to sync on that port.

Additionaly, I cannot use X1 as a modem via bluetooth - the system crashes when I run ‘internet sharing’ on X1 and then click ‘join PAN network’ on laptop

All services are running smoothly via USB - what’s going on ????????

Previously I used Samsung d900 and Nokia E50 with that laptop as a bluetooth modem and for synchronizing with ms outlook and everything was OK.

HELP

Hello, I remember when I was looking for a new mobile, I saw xperia’s page and it has something like a vedio of 3 people I think one woman and 2 guys. It wasnt clearly a vedio it was like how did they used xperia. I remember that it used to have navigation. I mean by navigation is like the way finder, but apperantly when I downloaded the way finder it was CLEARLY NOT as what it showed in the vedio and in the xperia page first when it was released. I couldnt find now any thing in xperia’s page that showes the mobile has this feature ANYMORE!! but its too late I’ve bought the mobile one month ago depending on what I saw when the mobile has just been released. I’m pretty sure of what I saw because I wanted a mobile with a navigation. It’s not the wayfinder, not google maps, it was something else, it was a navigation. Where is it??
