The Sony X1 Tips/Tricks/Apps thread

Hey there guys just got my x1 wow what a phone, enjoying it installed tomtom working a treat (thanks marine1:)) also installed Remote desktop works great only one problem have any of you guys used rdp my numeric keys dont work, any ideas
 
Um, dont know what i did, but my phone is does not vibrate anymore.. even at startup, it doesnt vibrate, or when i select a new panel? help?

EDIT: Just saw on XDA that a few users there have also had an issue with the vibrate unit not working anymore... just packed up? anyone else have this issue... ?i fear i have to take it in to be replaced...

EDIT EDIT: Found this on XDA: Found out that the problem was HTorch. I used it for only a few minutes on high power and it melted the Led on top of the vibrator motor and locked it down. Heed these words, comrades. Take special care not to use htorch on its bright setting. cheers

I used my htorch last night for a loooong time... looks like it burnt the vibrating module... **** IT!!!! So upset...

I use the Invisible shield. takes a few minutes to apply but after that it is great and free lifetime replacement too!!!!!
 
I have downloaded the first one WVGA and it works on mine but now have a problem when ppl phone me i cant see who is calling to trying, and the new keyboard is the problem.... so trying to see if there is a fix for it.
