[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Makz121:
Topic..

Need your opinion

Over the past month with my X10i... Ive been thinking at what my uncle said when he bought me this X10i. He Asked me if I really wanted an X10, over an Iphone 4... I said yes... my only reason was because I dont want to be another person who owns an IPhone and treats it as a status symbol. So I gladly chose the X10.. But now.... It feels as if... its not the right decision ive made.. I thought the X10 could be beastly... or atleast in performance... ANdroid is awesome I admit.. but since the X10's limited capabilities as of now.... it feels like its inferior to that of IOS...

My uncle came by at my place and ask, Hows my X10 doing? He said at anytime we could take it back, get an Iphone and grab lunch.

So...? What do you guys think.....? Should I trade it in?

THanks for reading..:)

I'd go for a galaxy s
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrKrFfXx:
You could try the cooked ROMs we have in the forums, they really make X10 hardware shine, stock software is really lacking in the performance department, even the soft keyboard that comes with the phone cannot follow you if you are a fast typer. Give custom roms a try and you'll be amazed. X10 is really held back by the stock soft.

But, If I were you, I would have picked up one of the newest Xperia phones. Arc or Play. They're sexier in style and more powerful than both Iphone 4 and X10.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erraz:
I second what he said about roms
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donnytuco:
i'm similar to thinking like the OP, even the 3GS is faster... but i've faith that the rom developers will transform the x10 soon :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Makz121:
I forgot to mention that I AM using ROMS. Im currently on WB's CM6. Even im starting to lose faith in what my X10i can actually be capable of.... I was even surprised that the X10 wasnt even Multi Touch!! Now it has but its not really a good thing...

Thanks for the replies anyway... :)

i really hope that my X10i can be more powerful :D
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ImS0Raw:
You should go for the iPhone, it's smoother, better battery life and much more great apps. But you will really miss the backbutton and the great launchers...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrKrFfXx:
If you are on a custom ROM and still feel the performance doesn't meet your needs, you might give the Iphone 4 a try. I really like IOS, I myself have a very neat Ipod Touch 2G, but I really got used to things like Widgets, themes, Notification Bar, on screen power control (handy to turn on wifi, 3G/2G, toggle brightness...) and so on and so forth, that I really feel naked when using IOS.

It's really up to you, if you wait until Gingerbread ROMs, which seems to unleash hardware potential, are mature enough to be considered everyday use ROMs, your time for changing your mind to do the switch might have ended.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FarmerBobSE-X10:
In about 2-3 months it will get official Gingerbread, with the newest kernel and... anyway, iphone it's for douchebags. I had the same problem with it... it's not a manly phone, it's a *****y phone, for Paris Hilton generation. :D

Yes, Xperia X10 it's slower than some other phones. But the look and feel... if you're a man, this is your phone. Before I got it, I was a little bit nervous about all the bad things told about it. But the overall impression is good, in the end. And it's a phone that you don't see in every kids hand, just because it's cool. :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yourmama:
Lol personally I also made the same decision :D and I don't regret it I love my phone lol with CM 6.1.3 its pretty awesome :D
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a2441918:
root ur phone nd try the TRIPNMIUI rom.. it will make the best out of ur x10
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prodigy:
I like it but i seriously thought that it would be better, of course i got x10 also becoz my whole family and almost everyone has iphone, i wanted something more unique.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pongscript:
Iphone 4, yeah i used one(my officemate have it), it have good multi touch, x10 can only go to dual touch, but iphone 4 can have up to 4 finger. but in terms of usability, my x10 can do more than his iphone. Its like im mocking him with alternative apps which he has to pays for his iphone, like when he bought angry bird, I have it for free, when he bought need for speed, i have it for free again and so on.

The one thing that I don't like about the Iphone, is that when everybody thinks that its the one of the greatest phone evar.. when in reality it lacks feature that was already on the phone 5 years ago.

This is the quote that I got on my mind.

"I don't want to be popular because of my phone, I want my phone to be just a phone that I could use everyday."(something is not right, but just like to share.. hahahaha)..
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] as1mz:
I'll stick to the point the point here and tell you that X10 was a good decision :)

I tried to go to the iphone 4, at first I felt like a douche for doing so, then I REALLY didn't like the limited capability like previously mentioned(widgets and what not and so fourth) then I felt restricted AND like a douche. but I find us higher thinkers need android type phones...iphones are dumb :-D hahaha. plus, if you pull off the factory screen protector, it looks and feels FABULOUS!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lesath76:
An x10 can only be traded in exchange of an Arc :)

i was thinking like you before i met the WolfBreaks ROM, now i never give away my x10 for any apple product. But if you're not sure about performance after custom rom you should try ios
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] javagreen:
I got the X10i because it's an Android device and that it was the best damn looking one at that time [It still is, IMO, but now second to Arc].

It being a Sony Ericsson device is just coincidence for me. If the Samsung Galaxy S looked *anywhere* near as good as the X10, then I'd had bought it.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Makz121:
Thanks for teh.replies guys... I feel really confident with my X10 now.... Maybe I was just looking at all of its bad sides. Not the good ones. :3 anyway.... I wont be letting go of this *smarter*phone anytime soon...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magicyoda:
It's not the same approach , X10 is for people who like to get it crashed and tweak it with strange update.zip downloaded on russian website :D:D
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] molinillo212:
In my opinion, the x10i is a great phone, is not the best, only a great phone. I have an iPad, two iPods and one iMac and I have an x10i. Today I love it (thanks to all xda developers). It´s perfect to use like a phone, like a camera, like a gaming machine (if you´re waiting anywhere).

I used the ios software and it´s good, but it´s limited.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] finkyfeke:
After a while of using my X10 (~1 year ago now) I wished I'd gone with an HTC Desire or similar, because of the lack of multitouch, and (at the time) lack of custom roms or bootloaders.

SE released their 2.1 update then a hacked-together update that enabled limited multitouch (pretty much pinch-zoom only) which made the phone a lot better, but severe update delays, slow bloated software and lack of FroYo/Gingerbread had me still wishing I hadn't put my faith in SE.

However, since rooting my phone, playing with custom ROMs and settling on the now very stable CM7 Gingerbread ROM by Jerpelea and the FreeXperia team, I've had a lot more joy out of my X10.

It's still not what it should have been. The horrible stock theme and timescape/mediascape software is gone and the phone performs better than ever but true multitouch would make it almost perfect.

So basically I would try custom ROMs before deciding. Personally I would take pretty much anything running Android 2.1+ over an iPhone. You know that feeling you get with Android that you're free to do whatever you want with your phone? It's pretty much the opposite feeling with iOS. It's nice, but it's very restricted. If I could trade in my X10, I'd go with a Galaxy S or a Desire HD. I would say one of the new Xperias, but I can't stand SE anymore :p

MAN!!! Got my hands on an iphone4 some days ago and i can proudly say THANK GOD I OWN AN X10i!!! Sorry, but for me it is a real BIG PIECE OF ****!:cool:
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rollhard:
I second that
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] compumasta:
Well se isn't at fault for dt. That's a hardware issue not software. Thats why they first said no as the hardware had shown problems in other phones (ie nexus one). And they are giving 2.3 officially so...

From my standpoint I don't have a problem supporting se again.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markstaylorx:
hmm has anyone watched any youtube videos comparing the 2 the screen I think is better on the iphone but the x10 the media scape and timescape makes it better.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redarrow75:
Excellent point
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Buddha:
iPhone has a better screen ( Retina display) but I like Xperia because of better personalization :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LJE:
No disrespect, but you sound like an iphone user.... You shouldn't be asking what everyone else is doing or thinks, you should be saying "screw all the sheeple and their iphones"

Rooted x10 all the way, or a galaxy s.

I would stay with the x10 because of the look of it over the galaxy s
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 06bgoggin:
I would stick with the x10 its far better looking and you aren't supporting apple, which is always good. Also try a few 2.2 roms you'll find the best one for you and it will really restore your faith in the phone :P

And the 2.3 update is coming soon so you'll be regretting changing it, when we find out how good GB runs on our sexy phone :D
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slothagus:
yeeaaahhh x10 alll the way man, they make grilled cheeses.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] en4bz:
I thought the same thing when I bought my x10. It didn't quite meet my expectations and I was a little disappointed. My carrier, Rogers, also offered the iPhone but I chose the x10 because I despise apple so much. The phone definitely improved with the 2.1 update but there are still some things lacking. The iPhone is also has its pros and cons and overall I'd say the iPhone and the x10 are pretty evenly matched, really depends on what you really want. The feel like the iPhone is a really consistent device where as the x10 can really be hit and miss sometimes. The x10 can really shine sometimes and I love it but sometimes I find myself wanting to smash it on the ground. This is mainly due to the poor firmware that comes with x10 out of the box. I really need to install a custom ROM because the current performance of the stock SE firmware is poor. This may change with the 2.3 update but who knows.

Overall I'd say don't worry about the choice you made. I often fell like this at times but every time I see my friend with an iPhone it seems like the x10 can do everything the iPhone can and more. If anything you should just choose a better android phone over the iPhone like a nexus S or something like that.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zykatious:
I regret buying this X10 every day of my life. I don't want an iPhone, I just wish I bought something much better than this piece of crap. Sure it looks quite pretty but God its such low quality. Plastic screen which scratches like f**k, the phone bends when you pull the sides, just horrible, horrible build quality. I will never buy a Sony Ericsson phone again ever. I've lost all faith in them. And they f**ked with geohot. I'm boycotting Sony.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] porksome:
Geohot ain't all he cracked upto be.....he had an army of devs behind him when "he" cracked the PS3.

X10 devs have done wonders without an army behind them. Custom ROMS make the X10 shine. No probs with scratched screen and if you try to bend your phone.....frankly it deserves to break!!!!

All smartphones have their problems....read the other forums. LOL :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zykatious:
It doesn't break, its just flimsy. Screen is crap, needs to be glass. And geohot did the original hack on his own, no team. Look it up if you think I'm wrong, you'll find I'm not.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] porksome:
I stand corrected...it was the iPhone he had a team to help him. :(

I would still rather have an X10 than be an Apple slave (make the hardware & sell the software for a slice.....nice hustle Jobs!!!!!). I do admire Apples clever marketing strategy though, makes Microsoft look like amateurs!!!
[General Questions and Answers] zookeeper525:
I was wondering if there are any tuts on editing roms that have been made by others, so that i can add what i like from each of them and make them into one perfect rom for myself. I've googled on this a little, but i've not 100% sure the of the term i should be using to search on how to do this.

If someone could link me to a tut on here that would be great.

I'm not looking to steal others work, it'd be for personal use only.

Funny I was researching the same thing. I have DSIXDA kitchen install in ububtu and actually played around with a ROM but I havent found anything about customizing it to my liking and such as themes colors ect...

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beenyweenies:
Hi guys,

Long time lurker, first time poster. I've been using CM7 RC2 without any issues, and recently updated to RC4. As soon as I did, my touchscreen lost a lot of responsiveness. Sliding open the drawer was no longer a simple swipe, I had to baby it along to get it to open, same thing applies to any other functions. Typing was a nightmare, because I had to press longer and harder on the screen to get it to recognize each of my keystrokes.

As soon as I switched back to my nandroid backup of RC2, everything's fine again. Any ideas? I've searched everywhere and can't find any mention of this problem, and didn't see it in the known bug list. I am using LauncherPro on top of CM7, might this be causing the issue?

Hardware 004, stock CM7 with default kernel if it matters.

THANKS!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Well I would recommend upgrading to the latest stable version, clean install, and see if that takes care of it first, along with the latest gapps.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slickrick54:
Definitely would go with the stable release and you should be good to go.
[Atrix 4G General] ccrows:
Hey guys,

Besides "Force Close" how do you close the stock music player?

On my Telus Milestone I can go into the built in Froyo Task Manager on that phone and close out the music player, but on the Atrix I don't see how to do so. If needed are there any 3rd party apps that can get the job done?

I'm really not a fan of pauing and leaving the music player open, heck even Pandora has an "exit" setting built into the app.

(Yes I know that task managers are bad *blah blah blah* but there's gotta be a fix for this)

Any ideas?... :confused:
[Atrix 4G General] Tennis11:
Just pause it and hit home...

Never live in the past but always learn from it.
[Atrix 4G General] ccrows:
There's gotta be a better way.

Heck I could do this on my Desire, and Galaxy S...
[Atrix 4G General] maledyris:
There's a task manager built into the Atrix. It's aptly named, "Task Manager." Just check your app drawer. You can choose to "End Application" from there.

Alternatively, change your launcher to Go Launcher Ex and there will be a "Running" tab in your app drawer. Clicking on apps in that tab will allow you to close the app, among other things.
[Atrix 4G General] ccrows:
That's the thing that's really weird.

When the music player is running and you go into the "Atrix" Task Manager it shows the music player as "Not running" so you can't close it. If I use the music player on either my Froyo Milestone or my Froyo Galaxy S then "Both" of their Task Managers can shut it down.

Also when I use "Go Launcher EX" on the Atrix, it shows the music player as a running app, but it won't let you close it. When you try to close it, the app still sits there.

Somebody else try this and please let me know if I'm doing something wrong or if you get it working, because that seems too buggy IMO.

The only way for now that I can stop the music player on my Atrix is by "Forcing it to stop" but there's gotta be a better way?... :confused:
[Atrix 4G General] ccrows:
Anyone?...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MDavisiw:
So, me and the GF have little time to watch our shows at home, I have become addicted to watching my shows on the Tilt2. I was thinking while we sit at a bar or wait around somewhere we could connect our BT headsets up to the phone and watch our shows over BT.

Sounds simple but apparently the technology does not exist. So, my second thought is that the OEM cradle that did NOT come with my phone has a 2.5 and a 3.5 headphone jack, anyone know if you can have 2 headphones plugged in and workign on this or is my best bet a mini-usb to 3.5 to y adapter? She could easily store those items in her purse (its damn big enough).

Any ideas?

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] villenya:
Hello everyone,

My streak shipped with the latest version 347. I rooted the phone using SOC 1.5.

I initially tried to flash Clockworkmod using MultiRecoveryFlasher, but clockworkmod only lead to an unresponsive black screen. I reflashed to StreakMod and the menu now shows fine. However, nandroid and and .zip installation won't work and give the error "can't mount /sdcard". After reboot from StreakMod, my android would be unable to detect the sdcard, and I would have to shut down/restart again to get the sdcard to register properly.

Without the ability to install .zip, I am pretty much stuck with my current firmware. Can someone help? Could it be a hardware problem?

[Atrix 4G General] Purple Drama Llama:
I was wondering if any of the devs over here would be interested in making a Meizu M9 based theme/rom available for the Atrix. Since Atrix's (Atrixi, Atrix, Atrii?) the screen resolution is exactly the same as the M9 I dont see how it could be too difficult. I personally have no experience with any Android dev whatsoever therefore unfortunately cant help on this. You can grab the ROM here: http://www.meizu.com/services/downs.html?id=127&selectedType=m9

I used Google Chromes built in translator to translate the page.

​
[Atrix 4G General] neer2005:
M9 has a higher resolution
[Atrix 4G General] Fresh & Minty:
Thought it was only by like 10 pixels though...
[Atrix 4G General] neer2005:
Atrix has 960x540 while the m9 has 960x680 which is on par with the iphone 4.
[Atrix 4G General] Zanr Zij:
M9 resolution = 960x640, same iphone. So need some modifies to make it works on Atrix.
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
Nevertheless it looks nice. Would be a good port if it were done.
[Atrix 4G General] Ririal:
This should be in the Themes and Apps section, not developer.

I haven't looked at the rom itself, but depending on how it's packaged up it might not be possible to rip the elements out. If it's using most of the stock frameworks for 2.2 then it might be possible, but depending on how deep the customization of the ROM goes, it could be incompatible. It's important to understand that with the Atrix, a "ROM" is just a few tweaks bundled together in an easy-to-install package.
[Atrix 4G General] neer2005:
Sorry that's what I meant, off my game today. 7
