Thank you all - XPERIA X1 General

I've spent over a year and a half here, harvesting goodies and candies. But time has come and I've replaced my Xperia X1 (may it rest in depths of the sea where it dropped from my pocket) with a different OS based phone.
I just wanted to express my deepest gratitude to all the chefs and developpers that have provided this forum with all the great stuff. There's little I haven't tried, and a lot I would have still like to.
So thank you all and farewell.

iPhone interface-Point UI

hi folks, i recently found this application 'Point UI'. You may find some other threads for this, as well. It provides kindda iPhone interface to windows mobile. I ain't crazy for Apple iPhone user interface and themes, but i am sure, there are some people who would definitely appreciate a change.
This software, i have tried on WM5/WM6, works perfectly on them. People usin' WM2/WM3, can try at their own risk and lemme know the compatibility. It is not exactly iPhone interface, but the basic Slide and Touch Navigation works perfectly fine without any hassles. On top of that, people like me, usin' windows mobile with the same good old interface would surely enjoy this change.
And sorry, for not being able to post this application here. Some account related issue, is there. That's why i am posting it on rapidshare. You can PM me, if you face any difficulty in downloadin' i'll e-mail it to you.
Adieu..

@rohit: Its old news..there are numerous threads out here discussing this!
Congratulations you're an idiot.
Been hiding under a rock much? We've known about this since it launched on new yaers day. Besides, why would anyone download your CAB, which could contain anything at all; when they can get the official client from www.pointui.com?
I fail to see how being mean to this guy is going to solve anything fellas. Not EVERYONE is a freakin' geek like us. Give him a break.
Err....what kind of 'break' should we give him (kidding...). This post earns a thread lock....

Sounds promising
haah its so funny reading someone posting this when there is already a thread of likd 15 pages ahahahahahahahahahahahaha sorr for that!
o and you know what apple anounced?
a phone!
yes, not only a phone, its an ipod too!
if thats not enough wait until you hear this:
it has an internetbrowser BUILT IN!!
unbelievable!
and yu know what they call it?
i was so impressed by the quality of the name! it is so obvious! why having names like htc touch or htc wizard, there is no way telling a htc wizard is a phone:s, well you know what apple did? well its...it is:
IPHONE
everyone should take an example of apple!
haha lol
stop making fun of him..MODS please delete this post..being senior members i didnt expect this from u guyz
It is NOT an IPhone interface as well.
duuh thats why pointui is so revolutionary, becuz i didnt wanted to make an iphone look a like hehe
I agree, give him a break guys...he is just trying to be informative
Credit to those who share good news....even when its old.
All you piss takers are arseholes! Like another member said, we don't all live and breathe PPC tech. I'm glad he brought it to more peoples attention. Good job mate.

I think you could stay more polite here! Do you want to go through 500+ pages to find a post when you are looking for it then go on supporting double posting! In my opinion this is kind of double posting beacuse everywhere in this forum posts concerning PointUI are popping up and on each page you'll find the string 'PointUI' at least one time!
Yes, not all of us breathe PPC Tech, but like I said everyone will notice that this app is already known when entering this forum.
Have a nice day, vi

I thought I'd put your statement to the test! On entering this forum, there is only this thread which mentions PointUI, therefore unless one is used to the ways of how forums work and this one in particular, only a search would have revealed what you are saying.
Sometimes people come across things in different places and believing they have found something amazing, they just rush over to xda devs to share the good news.
More experienced ones are more inclined to do an internal search first.
Whilst I agree that you are right about being more polite here...apologies to anyone offended, you might take some time out to remember what it's like to be a newbie at something or less experienced than someone else.
Someone makes an innocent mistake by 'who's standards?' but it is very helpful to others who happen to be browsing.
Anyway nuff said. I'll keep quite for now, but if anyone ever flames me like that, I'm sure to speak up.
Have a nice day.

No offence but people like you are nasty. Its like robbing a homless guy. Cyanogen takes time out of his day to bring you the latest and greatest ROMs and trys his best everytime, and the work shows off! This is the 2nd time I've seen a member trash a Dev, and not just any Dev, but Cyanogen! Cyanogen's ROMs are top notch work. Barley any FC's and all of those are from the 3rd Part Applications. I don't know what's gotten into you people, but you should learn to respect others, and yourselves. You need to learn some manners. I'll write you a book, "Respecting Others for Dumbies"... I can already see the cover. I know that the time will come when Cyanogen releases a ROM that makes a drought in the Android world, AND GOOGLE cry! And I believe that then and there you should apologize and mail Cyanogen a letter on how bad you feel about trashing him. THIS IS WHAT MAKES ME WANT TO SELL MY G1, AND BUY A HTC TOUCH HD2... PEOPLE LIKE YOU! Have a nice evening.

Action regarding X2

Guys.
I think even if you/we are able to achieve some kind of
satisfactory state of X2 usability
You'll agree those problems are beyond acceptance.
We have a flagship device
600 Euro high end device
With basic operation problems and failures
widely confirmed by 99% of users.
Here, Esato and SE official Blog.
Today I called SE.
Guys I don't think we can just leave it this way.
This is extremely rude and incompetent behaviour.
I've already sent info to WMPoweruser
and they published that.
Guys, please let's discuss that.
I absolutely don't accept the fact that
I have to rip off half of the device to make it work!!!
I called the MAIN sony Ericsson Service in Poland today
and talked to a very nice and competent man
He has weekly videoconferences with :se:
regarding service and technical issues
So - he noted everything I said
he will pass this further/higher!
I told him all the "truth" regarding this device
and also that in the end I want
to be rather a happy se customer
than a pitbull fighting with the company.
The problem is I don't really see any alternative for X2.
Good work!
OK, let's also annoy S-E on Facebook, gotta find their international group, because posting only in the Czech one won't probably make the effect.

Of course.
But it was a spontaneous action
and you know, it's just reacting
to posts.....
when i was reading your other post on your filings sbouth X2 afther MR1 upgrade I got an idea. Every user who has problems when using X2 should write an email to SE and resend it every single DAY. They will have to do something.
Even I am sick of X2, when it stops working using even only the basic features, and I got it for free. X2 is an embarassement. When I was sitting by the table in a coffie shop I proudly put my X1 on the table. But then with X2 its not the same. X2 is left in my pocket and not on the table.
Today I was driving from work and I wanted to use Gmaps and GPS just for fun and when I turned on the GPS the google maps crashed. I was so pissed I almost crashed my car.
X2 Should be a premium device. It looks like one, costs like one. But it just doesnt act like one (and it also could have newer HW).
Shure SE had to finish X10 but what abouth us WM xperia fans!? We helped xperia brand to puck up back in 2008. Are we just piles of $h1t to them?
If the upgrade in may (6.5.3) isnt perfect Im quiting SE (and I was a total fan since T68i).
Its up to SE.

Good Luck To All You Guys, I Won't Be Buying A Sony Ericsson Again. Shame, because this would have been my third s.e flagship phone i'd had and before my x1 broke 3 times, i was really considering buying one.
But after reading this, i'm glad i didnt. Never going to s.e again. Htc or LG this time, maybe a Toshiba if it ever comes out, or possibly android. So Many Options..
Best Of Luck Anyway People.

So what's with all the crying on XDA's EVO threads lately?

I remember the good ol days when people just dropped by, downloaded some stuff, left nice comments and went about their day. Lately, bout the last month or so, the threads have been filled with "I donated a dollar, I want my ROM" or "can I get an ETA on this?" (which is the rudest question I've ever seen here) or just people arguing or one-upping each other. I fear we're losing the community-based friendliness of this site as the days go along.
As we can see, a few devs have had enough and already left. How much longer is everyone gonna keep this up? It's like I visited XDA one day and it turned into an AOL n00b forum. It sucks. I want the old XDA back where people didn't cry about CM missing deadlines (they just visited again later and if a new CM was up they were happy, if not they just came back later), people didn't complain about Damageless losing his job and having to focus on his life instead of ours, people simply enjoyed what was available instead of hounding devs about when stuff is coming out.... I must say it'll be released when it's released!
I just don't understand what's so difficult about giving those who give us the time of our lives time to breathe and enjoy their lives too. It shouldn't matter whether a "donation" of a $1 or $1000 is made - the devs (and some of the senior members, shucks, even like me) deserve a lot more respect than what's going around lately. At the end of the day, I just don't want to suffer for following the rules when others decide to wreck it for the rest of us.
Anyway, I just had to rant. I still <3 XDA and always will. This place really has changed my life forever.
That is very well said. Devs should be praised not hounded.

Everyone was a noob at some point. Don't let that be used as an excuse for bad forum behavior.
Sent from my HTC Evo using XDA App
I have seen this before with Forums as the user-base grows and popularity increases, which Android brought many non technical users into the smartphone era, your impatient/arrogant/immature user-base grows as well and since they are still learning how things work but want it now since this is the era of entitlement your gonna get alot of asshats wanting there ROM now or there FIX now. It sucks but It happens.
One thing about XDA is its never been that user friendly or at least as long as I have been here. Seems like a few people come here just to be assholes. They know everything and even if you agree with them they will still act like dicks. With that said I try to stay out of those situations. Sit back in my thread and sometime comment on topics. Sorry but its true.
Try it, post something in the wrong thread by accident and see what happens.

This. The Evo was the first time that an android device really blew up with the non-technical crowd, and of course XDA has a reputation, so all of the new users came here. Unfortunanly, they don't really understand what it means to be a member of a development community though, and look at XDA like it's just another smartphone forum.

I've been guilty of wrong thread bashing myself it can be kinda fun. All depends on how out of place the topic is.
P_dub_S has it right. the market just expanded so much for androids. its like when blackberry came out with the Pearl and every teenage girl had one lol... most of the new phones arnt owned by tech people. hopefully in the fallowing months they will calm down. stil think the best forum was the xda section for the eris im just happy to have a phone lol so dont mind me
Most people just don't see how hard it is to make some of this stuff work. People must think that making roms/themes/kernels is just a bunch of copying and pasting or something...one thing that bugs the living hell out of me is on those Desire HD port threads...if the OP doesn't respond in 3 days, they just bump it saying something like "Well...I guess this is dead..." Devs ain't robots, something wrong with these people...

Exactly. What people don't understand is this is a hobby. We are not making a living doing this, and I do not get paid for this. Yes its true that we do receive donations but not NEARLY as many as I think people assume.
imho...these forums which used to be filled with great developers turned into a forums filled with the developers wanting compensation or in prettier words "beer money" for their time and effort instead of "joy and fun" or "hobby" of making roms and is slowly becoming more "pay-to-play" and if you don't pay, they take their business elsewhere to their own "pay-to-play" forums....just my own observation going from windows mobile development to android....

Not doubting you, but I'm curious (because I don't frequent other forums, or noticed anyone leaving), who took their "business" elsewhere, and where did they take it? I haven't really seen that - those donation links in the sigs have been around forever...

He is correct I have seen a few developers take their ROMs elsewhere (create their own website) but I'm not sure it was about money. I have donated to a few chiefs because I understand the time that goes into making these ROMs. Its time I could be spending with my kids. People seems to feel chiefs are obligated to do this for some reason. I do it because I like it not because I want to get paid. I get paid at work. When people complain at you all the time it turns it into work and then it isn't fun anymore.
Screw all of you....I payed my turkey sandwich and a hooker! I want my damn daily updates with a rom so spectacular that it will make me a full course meal.
Of course im playing but i cant help but agree with you. I find that i spend more time sorting through "non searchers" than anything else. I hope to see this calm down over the next year. Good thing about this is that people will only get smarter and simmer down....My car forums(g35driver.com) is getting worse as the car gets cheaper. More kids and ridiculousness.
