HTC HD vs Xperia X1 - Touch HD General

Hello ppl from HD forum...
I have a question to ask to any user that owned the xperia and the HD...
I bought a touch HD but I'm not sure if is a good choice cause of the lack of keyboard and some reported(?) problems with the cam, bugs, etc... I tried the xperia keyboard and wasn't that great (compared to the kaiser)!
I would like to know if it's worth having the touch HD or for someone that owns a pda with keyboard is better the xperia x1 (though the kexboard ain't that great)... Thanks ahead for your opinions and comments
P.S: Does anyone knows exactly if the Orange HD come simlocked and if yes how to unlock it?

bandit, there are MANY threads already that go into great detail about the questions you're asking. Use the search function on the top menu line and let google do the searching. Search for 'hd vs x1' or something like that, and you'll have a multitude of xda forums to look through. Good luck!
Also, look through the first few pages of threads in the Blackstone forum for one titled something like 'Xperia Panels coming to the HD, NO CAB YET!' The user that started that thread has both devices.. his avatar looks like a Panels view. Send him a PM.. He's a busy person, but he may take a moment to answer your concerns..

Will X1 get its own section on xda forum?

I love this forum. I'm a new member and haven't posted much but I've been reading a lot, and screwing around with my HTC Startrek. I'm also in the market for a new phone soon, and when it comes down to the Touch Pro or the X1, I like the fact that the Touch Pro has an overwhelming community here on XDA with an abundance of information available. I'm sure the X1 will have its own communities (some are already showing up on google), but will the X1 get its proper forum space here?
After all, it IS an HTC manufactured device for SE, and the Palm Treo 750 has its own section here... I don't see why not?!
The X1 is in it's own section already. This post is in the Sony xperia x1 Forum, I'm not quite sure what you mean?

X1 forum
And as the X1 is actually a HTC manufactured device and nearly identical to the Touch Pro (not including screen, camera or keyboard) the community here for the X1 should be pretty impressive.
I am just curious if they have fixed that terrible keyboard I keep reading about on the X1.
well currently the community for the x1 is nowhere near as large as the touch pro... but thats because its not out yet. if you look at the palm 750, it has its own section of the forum which consists of several child discussion areas. I was just wondering if the X1's community here will be large enough to warrant such an implementation for the X1 on xda. A strong support community (which xda offers) is important to myself and many others in the final selection of which device. I guess ill just have to wait and see!
Check out xperiancers.com
I'm hoping the X1 won't need a big section, because it will work great right out of the box. If people are happy with the stock ROM, there won't be a huge number of people cooking and trying new ROMs. And S-E runs the above site. If they do a good job of listening and responding to issues, maybe we won't need to have a community to solve problems.
I have a dream...
Regardless, they're releasing a software development kit for people to make their own interactive panels. Even if not to "fix" things, developers are going to be wanted to add content to a great device. Based on the SDK being free I think you'll see PLENTY of software support from large companies as well as individuals on this forum.
On a side note...
Finally after i type Xperia in google it doesnt suggest that i wanted Xeria

Possibility to record videos in [email protected]

Hi folks,
I was wondering if there´s any possibility of making the Touch HD record videos in [email protected], just like Xperia X1.
As the Xperia is manufactured by HTC, the hardware should be very similar. So, has anyone thought about trying to make the video recording better?
It´s a shame that a pda like Touch HD, turned to media playing content (because of its huge screen), has a crappy video recording.
It´s weird because it can shoot 5 megapixel pics, but it "can´t" record VGA videos.
So, let´s try a way to discover how to make it record better videos.
Who´s with me?
ok, you can start, and all of us will see your progress
stupid post no thanks

kersh, your post was completely unnecessary. If my post is so stupid, just ignore it.
I believe I have the right of having a question and post here, I´m free to do so. And I expect that only helpful posts to be posted here from now on.
I think other people have already thought what I asked above and are also interested in the helpful answers. Please, do not polute this forum with this kind of posts.
Thanks.
Your post is not a question, is a "HEY I WANT 30FPS ON MY TOUCH HD, SO PEOPLE START TO WORK FOR ME" with a ;D for sharm.
This is a topic already discused on A LOT of threads, like video performance, or TV out, you are not the first persin that want this feature, and if you search, maybe found it.
In other side, if you want something, dont ask others to develop for you, try to help.
And by the way, it seems to be that 30fps video it is only possible on X1 processor "A" version.

Hey Kersh,
Many are interested in the answer to this question.
If you know that it has been raised before, please provide a link to it, and we will all thank you.
If you're unwilling to do so, please just ignore the post.
I have spent a lot of time already on the forum but do not have time to see every single posts. It is not unreasonable to post a question even if there is already answer elsewhere.
This forum is not just about getting answer all the time. It is also a form of social interaction. Some of us even enjoy giving help to anyone who needs it, although it is on topic where answers are already availalbe with a search.
If you do not like the topic, just skip it. Nobody points a gun on your head to read it, if you feel your precious time is wasted.
The camera hardware from the Xperia is very different then the cammera hardware from the HD... To my understanding This feauture is bound to the camera hardware, and not to the Quallcom part of the hardware.
Therefor you can't compare them, and its probably impossible to get [email protected] fps recording native on the Touch HD.
kersh, I do NOT have a Touch HD, I even haven´t got money for buying it I was just curious to know if that was possible.
Eaglesteve, thanks for the support.
Lord.Bachus, I didn´t know the camera hardware was different in both phones. Unfortunately.
rudeys
No need to chew the guy out in a rude way... we all were eeeediots once you know. Let me add to the idiocy... what if the capture was not compressed but more raw file - would this allow for better FPS?

Need advice: other similar forum like xda for Samsung WinMo devices?

Hello guys
I know its the wrong forum, but I own a blackstone, so this is my home to me I want to ask you if there's a similar forum like this one for the Samsung devices. Cause I saw the Omnia II and I'm very, very interested in it, its a beautiful device for me, it supports native divx and has AMOELD. So, I'm highly impressed. My problem is, that I absolutely love this forum, only with xda is my blackstone how it is.. And I fear that there is nothing similar for Samsung.. Is there any ROM-cooking? Is there such an support? Customizing? Development? If thats not there, I have a serious problem and I think I'll stay with my blackstone. So now the real, final question: is there anything similar for the Omnia devices? Thanks a lot for your answers!! And sorry for posting stuff about other brands but HTC Anyway, HTC rocks!
Greets, cad^^

XPERIA X2 Subforum or New Set of Forums?

Hey everyone,
We're getting a lot of people asking us to make an X2 set of forums (to include general, ROM development, accessories, themes and apps). Alternatively, we could just simply back a sub forum under the X1 heading for the X2. We're learning towards the second option, but please, give your insights in this poll.
Its a different device so it sould really have its own forum otherwise its going to confuse people
i agree, on any form, due to the fact that x2 posts are mixed with x1 posts and it takes longer to find certain info regarding the x1 with so many x2 posts
We need x2 set of forums
We're asking to make an X2 set of forums (to include general, ROM development, accessories, themes and apps).we need that very badly.more X2 Out to market ,more trouble we get,please do it,make an X2 set of forum.Thank.
x2
we need new forum section
new forum for x2 that would be great and less comfusion
"themes and apps" i think will be the same as x1...
just few apps with accelerometer or tvout....
What ever, as long X2 got a "place" by it self. it's so easy to mix up if you read about X1 or X2 the way it is today.

Set of forums!
Themes are different, some apps too,
some work on 6.1 and not 6.5 and vice versa.
I really think it should have its own forum as well Personally, I spend a lot of time reading up on both the X1 and X2, so it can often get confusing to differentiate between the two when people make posts And besides, this forum is for the X1, so all posts should be for the X1...
There are also plenty of awesome X2 help threads, informative problem threads and ways to make life easier with the phone, but they're mixed up in this forum and you can lose track of them If the X2 had its own forum, it would be nicer to sticky some of those threads (like the Solution "Must Have For X2 Owners" thread, that one is brilliant! Great work people )
A new forum would be awesome, thanks
I too prefer a seperate section for each of the two devices.

Exactly how I feel
Hi, I don't have an X2. I used to have an X1. Don't have it anymore.
But I think X2 should have its own forum.
I think a single forum for the X2 would be great.
There doesn't seem to be enough interest and traffic in the X2 to create a full set of forums for it, though, so a single forum would suffice? Distinguishing it from the X1 is pretty necessary too, since they are seperate and unique devices.
its a good idea to create another forum as its getting out of hand hard to found x2 topics.. i see there two HD2's so why not xperia

Neither are the Acer, Samsung, or Toshiba phones that all now have their own forums. I say full set of X2 forums. Like others said it'll be confusing to have an X2 subforum under the X1 forum. Besides a full set of X2 forums should help
Yes, please!
... A full set of forums for the X2 would be neede ASAP! It's already confusing to find the correct threads for the X2!
Also add a separate forum for sticky-stuff. Now on the X1 forum you have a whole screen full of sticy-threads!

So my current device now is the wildfire buzz from htc ... I was going to sell it but after installing (cm9) on it I had second thoughts (thanks to xda-developers )
any way that's not my question ... my question is ( I want to get another mobile and I want it to be one of a kind so I was thinking to get the new iPhone 5 and I was very convinced .. until I saw that magnificent device the Xperia Z and now I'm puzzled .. what should I do ... go with this magnificent android device or try the IOS device that have a lot of people using it right now and saying that it will last for a long time with no problems)
So the bottom line is ... what's your professional opinion about this problem???

Well the Xperia Z and The iPhone 5 are very different in many ways but the biggest is clearly the OS... Android vs iOS. Well in my opinion Android is the better one but that is my opinion... Everyone has its own taste in smartphones so go to the next shop and test some of the newest android devices and then the iPhone 5, watch some comparison videos, read some articles about it, etc.
On the hardware side there are some big differences aswell:
Snapdragon S4 Pro Quad-Core chip for the Xperia Z and Apples A6 Dual-Core Chip for the iPhone
1Gb Ram iPhone vs 2Gb Xperia Z
4" Retina Display with 326ppi on the iPhone vs 5" Full HD 420ppi Xperia Z
Both are pretty awesome devices... So either way you go, you can't go wrong

In my opinion, iPhone was the best in like 2 years ago. After I do root, ul boot loader, install ROMs and port ROMs etc... I will never leave my android... it is up to you whether to choose what but I suggest Xperia Z.

It is a great idea of making an Off Topic thread so Moderaters does not need to delete again and again... And will keep the forum clean .
Hello everyone,
the moderating team assigned to your forum has decided to no longer allow any offtopic threads whether those were previously sanctioned by moderators or not.
We have come to this decision due to the fact that those threads offer absolutely nothing to the device specific forum or to development in general.
After all the name of the site is xda-developers.
If you feel the urge to engage in any offtopic discussion, the offtopic forum is always at your disposal.
As such, this thread is now closed.
Please understand that this decision was made only to streamline the forums and to enhance the user experience.
Thanks for your understanding and cooperation,
Tom
Moderator for the Sony/Motorola/LG devices
