I'm taking my unlocked Tilt, sim and cid, to the balkans (serbia,bosnia,croatia,etc). Has anyone been there with their Tilt? Any issues? Also, does anyone have any advice or suggestions on which radio might be the best for that part of Europe?
Thanks in Advance!
Hi dshanesmith,
I live in Balkans (Kosovo), and have HTC Kaiser, running on Dutty's Diamond v1, with 1.58.25.17. Previously had dutty's april 6.1 on 1.65.08.21, and none of these has reception issues, often tried it in Macedonia and Serbia as well.
Hope this helps.
works fine here too
Hi
any help would be appreciated I have a UK Kaiser (TYTN II) that I am selling and a potential buyer wants to know if it will work in the USA can anyone answer this or tell me if there is a ROM or something that would be needed.
Thanks
Kat
You should be OK with the stock ROM; I've been using a UK Kaiser on the AT&T 3G network for over a year, running the factory WM 6.0 ROM.
If his network uses GSM/UMTS standards then yes.
Thanks for the help guys

You might need to Sim-unlock the phone though.
I have got an MDA compact IV which should be almsot identical to the Touch Diamond, it was on T-mobile but now seems to me Unlocked and de-branded. anyway my question is can i update its ROM with a Diamond ROM? and if not what do i need to do to use Diamond ROMs?

Yes of-course you can
Take a look at the sticky threads in http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=430 they contain everything you need to know.
Your hardest decision will be what ROM to choose (there are so many).
Perhaps someone can recommend one - I'm personally using duttys 3.6b.
Good luck, Steve.
Already flashed
OK, when i switch on the phone it says Touch Diamond even thoguh it should be an MDA compact IV from T-Mobile, does this mean it already has the HardSPL? and tha it has already been flashed with a different rom?
i updated the phone with a few diff roms, but i have no idea which one the actual phone is from start?
As I was told by SE a long while ago, the "i" stands for International, I am guessing the "a" might stand for America? Since no one here in the UK has the X1a, but after all, X1, X1i, X1a should all be the same on the nutshell. If ever in doubt, e-mail SE directly on their website, the guys do get back to you withing a couple of days.
Look at the sticker under the battery. It'll say which one it is.
it just says X1
Go to :
Setting/Sytem/Device Information/Identity
This screen should tell you, Model, platform and IMEI#
hth,
Stuart

As of now, the black ones are X1i, and the silver, X1a. Tough it's going to change in the near future, if not already. Another way to find out, is trying to record a video with the camera. If the resulting video is VERY slow (8-10fps) then you have a X1a.

False. Black X1a is being sold in latinamerica.

True. And a good point should I say.
Record some 10 secs of video and then use TCPMP to check how many FPS you filmed. I tested both the X1a and X1i and TCPMP showed 7-10 FPS for X1a and 20-24 FPS for X1i
I have owned both X1i and x1A. X1A is clearly indicated in the sticker behind the battery AND on the box.

Also false Silver X1i are being sold in the UK.
I have a silver X1i from T-Mobile Germany.......
x1i - o2 - uk (silver)
Oh, my bad then, guys. Thank you for clarifying.
Hi guys, I'm a Necromancer.
I'm looking to buy an Xperia X1a, was just wondering how to tell from ebay sellers if they're selling the X1a or X1i just from looking at the pictures. I've tried emailing them but so far none fo them know, they just say things like "Its an Xperia X1".
If the phone comes with an American charger, is it safe to assume it's the X1a version of the phone ?
Also, what do you guys think would be a fair price for a fairly used X1 these days ?
I have better phones already, I even had an X1 before but sold It, I just wanna have one and keep it. Though I'm having a hard time trying to justify buying one seeing that LG Expo is going for pretty much the same price and its like, a LOT better than the X1.

No I don't think that the charger is a good way to go. I'll prob be selling my X1a with all original accessories and box soon. So let me know if you are still looking.

X1a uses 3G bands that work with certain carriers in North and South America
X1i uses 3G bands that work in Europe
X1a uses 3G bands that work with certain carriers in North and South America
X1i uses 3G bands that work in Europe and North America
The X1i has a front facing camera for video call .

That's not correct, both the X1a and X1i have front facing cameras for video call. Its just the bands, the sticker beneath the battery, and the camera's video quality that are different.
I got this phone and it was installed with chinese for some reason so i quickly looked for a way to get english and i got one of the R3s. Idk wut version it is all the box says is X1
At your SE X1
Start>Setings>Tab System>Device Information>Tab Identity> At Model No.

doesnt that information change depending on if i use a x1a or x1i rom? like right now it says "x1i", if i installed a x1a would it say "x1a"?

This is possibly correct. But the better method is to go into Settings, System, Device Information. Select the Hardware tab. Beside the first entry, CPU, you'll see one of two things:
"QUALCOMM(R) 7200A" means you've got X1i
"QUALCOMM(R) 7201A" means you've got X1a
I've got the X1a running an X1i ROM, but it still shows the correct CPU identifier. This is the only difference between the devices: the CPU is nearly identical, but the 7201A was produced to obey a U.S. patent ruling in favour of Broadcomm that claims infringement by the video compression tech in the 7200A. Therefore the 7201A uses non-infringing methods that end up reducing the device's video recording rate to 24 FPS at QVGA res and 10 FPS at VGA res. HTC apparently uses the 7201A in all North American devices that would otherwise use the 7200A abroad.
The 7201A is otherwise designed to be completely compatible and interchangeable with the 7200A, which is why ROMs can be used interchangeably. They have the same Radio ROM and same band frequencies (contrary to some false reports in these and other forums) - the Xperia is a 3G "world" phone, and meaning the X1i can do 3G on Rogers and AT&T in North America, and the X1a can do 3G on European and Asian carriers.
No 3G on T-Mobile US though, because of T-Mo's stupid use of 1700 MHz.
ahh thank you benjamin looks like i have a x1i. So there is no way i can connect to 3G? sometimes i see a G instead of the E, but its only for like 5 seconds. wish t-mobile was better.
