In the highly competitive world of wireless service anytime a customer moves from one carrier to another, people want to know why. I have had a good run with AT&T, but the lure of faster devices, and a more stable network have finally driven me to switch. In this article I will list in detail my experiences, and hopes.

I was skeptical this would work, but so far it seems to have worked. For anyone who is having problems with low bars or dropped calls with their Sony Xperia X1, X1a or X1i, this mod might help improve your signal quality. I have included instructions.

Tonight comcast had a major outage here in Pearland Texas. The outage started around 7PM Friday Dec 5th 2009, and of this posting ( 12:19 AM Dec 6th Saturday ) Service was still not restored. Granted today we had snow, which is rare in Houston ( happends only once a year if at all ). But still Snow shouldn't affect Comcast Service. So I figured out how to tether my computer onto my Sony Xperia X1i and use my unlimited AT&T data connection to get online and keep working. However I was very surprized with the speed I got from AT&T.

I like to personalize my gadgets. One of the nice things about the Sony Xperia X1 is the battery cover is not a cheap piece of plastic. Its a made of metal, then brushed to give it texture, and painted ( silver or black ). But the paint is not the most scratch resistant stuff. After a while your Battery cover will look beat up. So I got out some sand paper, and some metal polish creme, to take my battery cover from dull black, to a near perfect mirrored chrome finish. I have included before and after shots along with instructions for those who might want to try this on their phone.
