I have been having teh following problems with my X1 and just spoken to O2, have arranged an exchange. I could probably do some reset on it and sort the problem, but since I am still withint the 28 days period, why the hassle?
- Phone loves turning itself off, not the screen, but the phone itself.
- Passcode playing trick, half of the time even I entre the correct code, it won't unlock my phone, and says wrong passcode.
- Installed apps can't be found even the successfully installed message shows up.
- none of the games I have installed works or else won't work to the full screen.
- Google Mail won't work after installed from the Google website.
Anyone eles have the same problems? Or is it just me?
as of now maybe just you mate, maybe something you have installed. maybe try to hard reset just to find out and if nothing happens then exchange it. it's worth the try mate and tell us what happens.
My Xperia has a faulty headphones socket I returned it to where I got it from, then they sent me another one. And guess what that had a faulty headphone socket as well.
When the headphones are inserted nothing happens. Also the headphone icon does not appear.
Any Ideas ??
A hard reset is a good idea, or I might have to wait forever for the phone to arrive, always out of stock... what is SE playing at?
I have tried hard reset and it dosent work
It seems to me that the X1 has so many little problems as I have heard / seen, this si my first WM phone, so can't compare... nearly sold my X1 for an iphone (I am a Mac user), but no, not worse the money.
maybe xperia phones are selling well, lol.
go for the hard reset mate.
@brut3forc3
maybe its the same phone, lol
if not return it to them again and ask them to check the unit in front of you

Or rather push stronger the mini jack,
it normally stays on some position, the last fragment has to be pushed a bit harder.

hard reset won't solve the problem of your headphone problem mate, its a different problem
If you have problems with your X1s either
A) take them back to your supplier,
B) use the SE X1 support (theres a little silver card in with all the documents).
If the device is turning off (completely) then it's a hardware fault, have you checked the power settings?
funny enough, I had exactuly the same problem (phone turning itslef off) with my SE W960, sent it in for repair, nothing was found... I bet it would be the same this time, maybe I just don't have those so called "technician hands" I work in technical support and very often with the head technician touches certain things, they work!)
I have checked the power setting, nothing is wrong, just weird... maybe I am just unlucky.
Like other replies suggested, a hardware reset would probably do the job, but since I am still within the 14 or 28 days period, I would rather not take the risk of having the same problem again o day 29 where I would have to send it in for repair than having a new handset...
My biggest gripe with this phone is the double tap/ click bug or feature.
It appears that even while the screen is on and the back light is off, when you tap the screen it turns on the backlight and then you have to tap again to perform an action.
1 - never had that problem
2 - never had that one either
3 - Sometimes it does that, but it's the app's fault, not the phone's.
4 - Games are working fine if you install the "arm" ones adn the ones that are for ppc. The resolution is not a problem of the phone. It's just that the phone is new and not many game manufacturers support it. Yet.
5 - Idon't use Gmail sorry

Xperia X1 is one of a kind, a new breed of HI-RES WVGA devices. Check if those games are compatible with WVGA resolution or exchange your Xperia for an archaic QVGA device

Hmmm... you don't need to download the google app at all, that's for older, slower, low-mem devices.
I use google all the time
1- Open gmail's web page in Opera browser
2- Set up your gmail account in Mesages, it is autoamted and works a treat !!!
IN CONCLUSION: I think your phone is OK. Mine never turns off, never freezes, never hangs up
I've had the diamond, tytn etc and let me tell you this phone is far more reliable than those previous devices...
Don't blame the phone, blame some app or tweak you have done
May I suggest you to hard-reset the phone and start installing your apps, mods and tewaks one by one until you find the faulty one
Remember: this is not a simple "phone": ithis is a computer with Windows.
You wouldn't be blaming Dell if your PC becomes unstable after adding some programs/apps/games that are not suitable for your, let's say, video graphics card as an example
I have somewhat of a problem with mine 2.. It doesn´t seem to play any of my mp3´s that i put on it,but wma files work just fine.. Strangely it plays the mp3´s that were on it when i bought it.. Any idea what the problem might be??
Well, I have changed the setting abot teh power, still happening, nevermind, a replacement is coming tomorrow, so I guess I will just start fresh again. What do they do with these faulty phones? Do the fix them and sell the as reconditioned at a lower price or sth? How about those unwanted return? Just a matter of interest.
My X1 died tonight do I may have dropped it one time to many, thusly the screen started to malfunction also the phone will not start anymore..
I have switched to my Symbian Samsung Phone as of 10 minutes ago.
Tomorrow I will put my old X1 in into the box which it came to this Earth and send it Vahalla.
I will post a video of it passing on Youtube tomorrow and post the link.
X1 - May You rest in peace.

p.s. I will switch to the HTC HD2 later in the new year.

Ohh sorry to hear that dude....I just got my phone up from a half dead state..I cant even think of dropping it...So next time when you get your HD2 never let it drop down, or else you will have to make a tribute video for that too...Dont drop the phone...
Hey Euroman28!
It's sad that your X1 died, may it rest in peace
Maybe you are interested to donate it for some research action.
I still need some broken device for deeper hardware investigations.
You may look at this thread:

We might find an agreement, please tell me if you're interested!
Kind regards,

you could get good money for it as spare components anyway most of the case when phones die due dropping is because the some of the ic's becomemlose on board sometimes is just take 10 min to get it work again with a BGA rework station (what gonna happen to your computer if you take the cpu out)? as my boss would say nothing is inpossible...
The old one doesn't go, the new one doesn't come
happy with your new device, i suggest HD2
I think my X1 is very sick.
The screen is not working like it should.....gives weird colors etc.
It felt in the snow last week....that same day it was constantly restarting and restarting whole day. Then about 1 week it worked just fine and now the screen is acting a bit weird....
I think at has to go to the repairman.....
Display Going crazy
Hi, I also have a problem with my xperia x1 display it doesnt work very good when I boot it up the display and the buttons bellow the display arent working, there is no light nothing, then I have to wait till the windows boots up and start pressing all the buttons (d-pad, call button etc.) so the display could start working, but there is another problem when I press the on/off button to switch the damn display off the backlight keeps working and the backlight of the keys its just so strange.

try the search button... less keystrokes needed than your message: look at first sticky http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=471
My X1 didnt work as it should after around 6 months.
-the display got black when I slided the keyboard out,
-headphones jack did sometimes shov the headphones simbol on the top bar of the screen even when the headphones wasnt in the jack,
-in the center of display i had a grey spot. It was very visible if i turned on the camera and covered the elns with my finger. It might be from stylus or somethin. it made look X1 lcd look cheap and of bad quality,
-the on the keyboard if i pressed M or N key once it wrote MMM or NNN (multiple characters for only one press)
-and the last thing is that when i was having a conversation sometimes didnt hear anything. i had to slide open the phone and the close it and sometimes it healped but if it didnt I had to use the speaker. and it looks bad when you are using 500€ phone to have to use the speaker for all conversations.
then on 1.12.2009 I personaly got my X1 in the shop for repairs. I called afther 3 weeks... the phone was still not repired, so i call them in the beginning of January. the phone was not finished. I was starting to count down the days.
Dont know abouth other countries but in Slovenia (its next ot Italy) the law says that if a device is in repairs for more then 45 days (and that caunts in hollydays and weekends to ) you are entitled to equal NEW device. and then until february 2010 they were telling me that they are getting me a new X1. but last week they tell me that NEW X1s are hard or almost impossible to get. so the SE is getting me new XPERIA X2 instead. thats all I know for now. I still think that X1 was a better phone (it had personality that X2 has not) at the beginning of next week ill know more. today the man from the shop said that its possible to have it on tuesday or wednesday next week.
if nothing else i got from phone that was farly old and didnt work properly (dont know if id get 200€ for it) to a totaly new X2 (it came outh this january,it must be worth around 500€). Ill let you know if/when i get it and let you know how it handles.
is it possible for X2 to ROM it with some costom ROMS for X1?it has the same buttons, same resolution, same hardware... it would be nice to have cristians ROM or touchIT ROM on X2.
Sorry about bad spelling.

No. There are no custom ROMs for the X2 yet. Have fun with that new phone. Im sure you will like it's. I don't know what my next device will be...
Well i got my new X2 last week on friday. first of all i have to say that im somewhat of a clean phone freak softwarevise adn in that regard X2 is awfull. it just has too much stuff on it. how can there be after hard reset (did it ubouth 3-4 times just over the weekend) only 80MB free. there is 260 MB available but only 80 is free.when I deleted all the panels that i dont need there was 140MB free but then manel manager stopped working.
then i hardreset it. on X1 hardreset and costumization lasted around 10 minutes. for a hard reset on X2 you need half an hour before telephone is ready to use.
then i wander in panel manager whay some panels are able to be deleted in panel manager but moste are not. yes you can delete them in settings but in many cases it says the panel was not deleted completle, you want delet it from the list?
i wanted to have clasic SE panels (1 and 2) i instaled SEpanel 1 from this forum, and panel manager stopped working again. HARDRESET
When I turned on X1 there was abouth 30% of ram used and 60-70% was free.
on X2 most od the time its 50/50 but usualy if you open application or 2 there is less then 50% free. and that affects on performance.
best thing would be to have X1 software on the X2 device. Or atleast X1 panel manager on it.
At first i dint like its START menu. scrolling up and down when the scrolling in not fluid its no eyecandy. and its not totaly usefull. then i started to like it when i figured out i can edit this start honeycomb menu. i added map called WEB another map called PROGRAMS i put al the stuff in these maps only the SE Xperia 2 green icons and settings are on the front level... and start menu was instantly more user friendly (by the way in file manager there is map WINDOWS/STARTMENU/PROGRAMS there you can edit START menu).
But still I have faith in this device. if the experiance was little more fluid or the CPU was better this would be a great device. it has a nice camera (video recording is not so good but that i got used to with X1 and SE never had great vodeorecorder cameras anyway) and there are 2 firmware updates planned one for march (WM 6.5.2) and one in may (6.5.3, cant wait to have START, X and OK buttons on the lower side of the screen).
Final words
I was mad abouth X1 from the momet i looked at it on gsmarena (february 2008) and then almost half a year when it came out i has HAPPY to have it.
now I have X2 only a month after it came out and its just OK to have it. its not good its not bad its just ok.
we will see.
my x2 is in cmonex's hands for creating hard-spl, but the x2 is a hard nut to crack, so we have no ETA on hard-spl for x2 unfortunatly.
But when its ready, im sure the cookin will start
Hey there guys
I thought I would start up this thread for those of us who have debranded there handsets to post any and all problems we have encountered after debranding so we can discuss them and hopefully find a way to solve one anothers problems.
I'd just like to stress though that this is not a thread for learning how to debrand, if you want to know that Follow these instructions
This is also not a thread for sorting out problems relating to not being able to debrand, there's a thread for that and it's loacated HERE
So with that out of the way, i've noticed that since debranding my clock doesn't stay synchronised with my network anymore which is odd. Anyone else experiencing these problems or any other problems?
Cheers
John
same problem with the clock, although not sure if it was like that before the debrand, its on manual now instead of auto update.
Guys my pc switched off while debranding, now stuck with a X10 which after the initial SE start-up screen only shows an exclamation mark (!) and does not boot or connect to pc companion or the update service anymore. The phone is initially recognized as a SE phone and pc companion instructs you to mount the sd card which is difficult when there is nothing but an X10 and ! image on the screen.
Use SEUS and connect using back button and inserting cable =).
The clock has nothing to do with debranding, at my stock Rom its the same in O2...

Doesn't connect here's what happens
Update Service - Connects after the above method but gives an error for internet connection something about 'unable to download your phone software'.
PC Companion - Shows as detected SE phone and states 'Drag status bar downward, tap usb connected, tap mount....'. However when you can only see an image of the X10 with a triangle with an "!" in it, your left with nothing to drag down or click.
While trying my luck with different combination of hard buttons found one combination (back button, camera button, power button, volume buttons...) which prompts to Installing SE ROM... on the status bar on my pc, tring to figure out which combo did that.
Don't want to take the phone to the local SE dealer even though it's under warranty as the service centre takes between 14 days to a month even on basic problems.
Off-topic does anyone where I can get an original white Xperia X10 housing, my local SE dealer has been posting full page ads for the phone in the local paper but will have no parts available till end May.
Rgds.
Keep trying with SEUS, the problem your having with that is down to there servers, not your phone. If you keep trying you'll eventually get through.
As for the white housing, I know for a fact Ebay has some authentic white housing for about $50 I think and it comes with the necessary toolshed for the job. Fair warning though you will lose you warranty if you open your device up.

Tried over 30 times over 2 days same as above unable to download, I think it has more to do than servers being busy.
The housing is to be handed over to the local SE dealer to fit, as they won't have the housing or any other parts till end of May.
Is there any other way to recover my phone without taking it to the dealer, I bought it on launch date here, reason for debranding was to get Android market with is not allowed in this region by the Telecom Regulatory Authority, so all Android phones for the market have the app missing. We can buy grey market phones (meant for other regions about USD 100 cheaper but no warranty), for a phone which almost cost me USD 850 that did not make much sense.
Full page ads daily in the local papers now for almost a month must cost the dealers quite a lot, wish they invested that kind of money on customer service (by bringing parts for the phone before they launch it). If this was a Nokia, the dealer promises a 2 day service and repair or replacement here, well so much for the warranty.

Weirdly, the timings reflecting in my FB, twitter posts actually synchronised after debranding. Previously, it reflected as weird timings.
For e.g. if I had posted something, instead of showing 0 mins ago, it shows -23hours or 1890mins ago.
After debranding, all the time issues have been resolved.

Tried with the original files still no luck, SEUS simply tells me I have the latest firmware, is there anything I'm missing - just want to get my phone back out of this limbo state, even if I can't have Android market.

hello everyone, i am very new to this forum and i am happy to hear that x2 got its own forum here. now, i've had my x2 for about 6 mths, at the very first few months my x2 performed quite well in context of no lag or screen hangs or ****s like that. but for about 2-3 mths my x2 starts to have those problem, especially everytime when i lock the screen n i slide the lock it wont open meaning the lock button just stuck being slided to left/right n wont open, i had to remove batt n turn it on again. i rlly hate this.
n my x2 also load slower than before, like when i try opening msgs it took much time to load the msgs, n when i type a word it come up word by word like 5-6 second after, same goes for other program. it wasnt like this before. i've used seus to update n still the same problem.
i tried searching this forum on how to make my x2 rlly fast/turbo but i rlly confused as to which i should follow n ofcoz i rlly dont get the steps they've given (installing cabs all that n so on), can anyone help me with this? frankly i am a girl n i am no expert in all this so i rlly rlly need guidance

you'd better check the sliding lock button on the device! may be dirty or may have also been damaged...
if you want to speed up its performance, try using nueOverClockTest which you can download and obtain guidance on http://www.nuerom.com/BlogEngine/post/2009/09/07/nueOverClockTest.aspx
X2 is a nice looking phone but its a strange one. I ceep it fast only bay hardreseting it every 2 weeks or maybe a mounth. plus I have clean WN6.5.3 with no pan els, no slideview and thats SE buggy stiff installed on the phone. This was the phnoe runs smoothere. and I have more space on the device. plus the battery seems to live longer and the whole device seems more stable.
If you didnt do a hardreset in6 months then thats the problem. do it every month and it should be ok.
i used to have the same problem so i also hard reset every week.. but i found a solution for me..... try this app its an hd2 app but worked for me
http://hd2apps.blogspot.com/2010/10/htc-hd2-apps-cleanram-v25.html
if ur x2 becomes slow just open task manager and end all tasks and the clean your ram in level 3... this fixes the slowing problem for me u dont even have to hard reset the phone and clean win mo 6.5.3 and u can also keep the panels...... i just love this phone but some times it disapoints me but im ok with it.... i hope this solves your problem....
