Last updated 7th August 2011 @ mods: Feel free to make this a sticky if you think it's useful. I am still quite new to Android, and I have come across very many technical terms that I didn't or sitll don't understand, mostly related to rooting your phone. I am not aware if some of these terms...

Following scenario: I have a Hotmail E-mail address which I have setup as ActiveSync on my Sensation. I obtain the calendar associated with that e-mail address on my phone and changes done on PC or phone sync well so far. Today I discovered that it is possible to create additional Live calendars...

Hi folks, I'm looking for what I'd call a "launcher". But I DON'T want a Sense-Replacement like ADW, SPB Shell or things like that. I'm looking for a WIDGET that allows me to place app shortcuts. Like Multicon. Unfortunately, Multicon has only 1x1 to 1x4 vertical widgets, but no horizontal ones...

With my three former phones (Motorola V980, V3xx, Sony Ericson X1) I have been able to to video calls over UMTS/3G. You know, that regular video-calling thing. Not with Skype, Google Talk, whatever. I thought this would be possible with the Sensation, why would it have two cameras otherwise...

Today I had my sensation in my backpack for an hour or two. When I took it out, I realiezd it was VERY hot (Maybe 40 degrees, but not just in one place, all around the phone...) and the screen wouldn't turn on. I then opened it, removed battery and reinserted it. Then the device booted. I...

With the new Google Maps app, it is possible to download individual parts of the map to make them available offline. You tapandhold a point on the map and select download, and it will download 10 miles around that area (For whatever reason in a square form...) Anyway, you can do this multiple...

Does anybody know of a way of refreshing the gallery app when you rearrange files through an explorer application? I found the app updates itself when you restart the phone, but unless you restart it keeps dead links and doesn't show new files/folders.

The new update from HCT for Sensation seems to have changed something with the WiFi. On one hand, I get better signal, but when using skype, the moment the screen turns blank (through proximity sensor), the call is interrupted, i.e. I can't hear the other party (NO hang up). When the screen...

Does anybody know a good app to assign actions to the hardware buttons (Touchbuttons on the bottom)? Of course only for the long press action. Otherwise I think I need the defaults ;) I found out that when you keep the home key pressed, it shows a panel with the last opened apps, and the same...

I am looking for a good file explorer. It should be free, or really really good if it's paid. I'm not into Ads, so Astro is a no-go for me. I'm currently with ES File Explorer, but it's not exactly full-featured. For example, it doesn't show you the rate at which files are copied and you can't...

From Windows Mobile, I'm used to scrolling through a contact lsit by initial letter, i.e. when I move through the list at a high speed, the system starts to jump across initial letters instead, displaying the current letter on top of the list. I've been able to achieve the same thing...

Hello everybody! I want to root my device in order to disable some stock apps. I am an advanced user, but I have no previous experience with Android and only very little with Linux. Anyway, I figured out that the first step is to get fre3vo here...

I just set up my hotmail account as an "M$ Exchange ActiveSync" account in the default mail application. I entered m.hotmail.com as server (Found this using Google), set Peaktime from 00:00 to 23:59 and enabled push mail for peak time. Push mail seems to work properly while I'm on my data...

I am about to buy a HTC Sensation. However, my provider (Swisscom, Switzerland) offers it only with Branding. Is there a way I can flash such a branded device with the original ROM from HTC? Is it available anywhere? Will I have problems because of the signed bootloader? Thanks in advandace for...

Hi everyone, thought I'd share this one with you: I'm not quite sure if it is widely known, at least I haven't read of it anywhere and I am reading quite a lot about win mobile and the x1. So here it is: Pressing the win key on the keyboard twice (have to do it quickly) takes you to the today...

Hi there, I haven't been able to check out XDA too often in the past few weeks, so I'm not certain if I missed something. What do you guys know about a (possible) R4A? There was that game, Xtrakt, and other stuff, that should've been included with R3A - well, it wasn't. So what are they gonna do...

Today I was abotu to write a new SMS but I selected new Voicemail unfortunately. The phone lagged for a few secs then I received 2 new MMS - from several weeks ago. I find that they were old SMS I had received! The SMS body had been put in the subject and the phone asked me to download the MMS...

Hello I am trying to create a small app that controls the running instance of WMP (The one on Windows Mobile of course). What I need is Next Track, Last Track, Play, Pause and maybe Volume Up/Down. Is there any way to access these functions through some API call or something?

I don't know what English X1 keyboards look like, but on my Swiss X1 there are three keys for ä, ö and ü. I think these keys do their job in a different way than the other keys, because I have noticed that when I slide the keyboard out and start typing, the phone is too slow to show the text in...

Is it possible to disable phone wake up when a new message comes in? I want wake up to be enabled when a call is coming, but not for text messages. I think there are some "scripts" in the registry to control the ringing-behaviour and these involve wake up. Is it possible to modify this setting...

Hello everybody. I am a programmer experienced in various languages. I want to create a very simple today-plugin, a launcher. It should be touch-responsive, to gestures to be more accurate. Target platform is Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro. I don't want to use wrappers and user-made frameworks and stuff...

Hello guys! The idea behind this thread is to find good software (must-haves), so I'm asking everybody to post a list of their software and its uses (Short description + Weblink if it's hard to find). Please DO NOT post random software and DO NOT post software that you have not tested on your...

I think it would be really great if the X1 had an audio input, so that you could connect a mic or keyboard or whatever and record it directly. Okay we all know the X1 doesn't have an official line-in. However, the radio only works with headphones plugged in. They serve as an antenna (obviously)...

Hi there. What I am looking for is a functional debugger for Windows Mobile Applications. I does not have to run on Windows Mobile - I'd rather have a sort of emulator with included debugger for Win Vista. I need to be able to set Breakpoints and view the code being executed of course. I don't...

I currently have about 30 programs installed on my mobile. I would like to simplify the installation process of these after a Hardreset. Is it possible to mrge them into one single Cab which will install all of the applications? Or will they then show up as only one item in the software list if...

I've found this neat tool: http://www.nuerom.com/BlogEngine/page/nueDynamicClock.aspx Has anyone used this on their X1 and did you notice any changes? I don't think you can use it for overclocking an X1. But I'm thinking about setting clock frequency to 19 MHz on Suspend, to get more out of my...

Does anyone have an exe file which will lock the phone without further prompts? Just normal keylock. I really need this and it would be great if someone had such an Exe. I have Exes for Softreset and Power Off but not this one...

Hi folks I just found out how to create a direct link to "USB to PC"-Setting. This is how it goes: ctlpnl MyCPL.cpl,17 But how do I get the proper icon displayed?

Hi there! I'm looking for a good anti theft software for my X1. I have already tried several ones. I'd like to know your opinion, what you are using and what you can recommend and WHY. Here's what I've tried: Ultimate Theft Alert, SmartProtect and WIMP. I have also tried Smartphone Tracker which...

Hey guys, NO, I don't want to remap the Panel Key. I just found this picture through xperiancers.com: As you can see, the panel button has the Windows-flag on it! Have you seen an X1 with this button before? Is it country-specific?

Hey folks! I need some help setting up VPN. Here's what I want to do: I want to be able to connect to my PC through Internet (HSDPA Connection. NOT Wireless LAN!!!!!) and access the network shares on my PC. Okay, now I believe the only way not involving a HTTP Server on my PC would be to set up...

I'm looking for a slide-to-unlock solution for my X1. It should NOT come with any additional features (as S2U2 unfortunately does). I don't need to lock it for incoming calls, my phone software does this by itself. I only need an app which will lock the device on wakeup so I have to slide to...

Hello! I'm using Inesoft Dialer & Stuff on my phone. However, it would appear that it's just a kinf of overlay for the original software on the X1. When I miss calls it fucks up and I get multiple screens, the old call list flashes up for a short moment. How can I fully uninstall that old...

Hi folks! I've been looking for a good launcher recently. What I need is something like SPB PocketPlus, I like the Tab-Functionality. What I care about MOST is that it works. NO CRAPPY GRAPHICS, be it in Landscape or Portrait mode. What I tried: UltimateLaunch 1.2: Bad. Graphics are screwed up...

Does anybody know the exact release date of R3A? Heard something of next month, but that's vague... Will there be different releasedates for different countries?

Hi folks! Been Browsing your pages a lot these days and I like your stuff. SO I thought I'd sign up and give something back to you: A custom startup animation for the X1. Put the file into Windows folder (overwriting the original) and there you go. Warning: You cannot do this over ActiveSync...
