[XPERIA X10 General] MrHassell:
Galaxy has superior gpu, screen & most obviously the software on a stock Froyo GS is miles ahead of Eclair with the Android platform and further the Samsung app quality is of a greater standard than Sony's.

16GB Internal storage and 32GB additional SDcard is always giving a huge benefit but the main point for me is the quality of the software, battery life, speed.. everything about a Galaxy S is better and the camera is damn good. Video calling is excellent!

What really surprised me, Sony invented the Walkman and Beta. So naturally I expected the sound to be better on a Sony, so wrong. Samsung is much clearer and more defined, as for the screen & gpu on the Galaxy it's impossible to even put the X10 beside it, like comparing analogue to HD with the X10 clearly made of infantile components, compared to the same company who delivered the Nexus S and for good reason.

Sony admitted to making mistakes with the X10 and using a Galaxy for a day, they become very clear and that is before you need to even consider modifications to the Galaxy. For the X10 it's impossible to get any quality from the device, without running a fully customized rom, kernel and apps... which I hope for the future Xperia devices is resolved but with device's like the Atrix and Galaxy 2 on the market at the same price, there isn't even a chance you could sway me towards another Xperia.

Play looks good for kid's, but if I wanted a PSX it's much cheaper to buy one, after all how many 10yr Old kids need smartphones?

Same applied when I bought a new camera and this time, it wasn't a Sony cybershot because Nikon & Canon have that one well covered. Sony & smartphones aren't even closely related in my opinion and trying to be a Jack of all trades has shown them as masters of none, at least for the X10, Arc, Neo, Play.. perhaps that's going to change with the Pro and I really hope they take their exceptional hardware skills and get up to speed with software in the future.

The design of Sony is fantastic. Hopefully the future sees them shine in Android.
[XPERIA X10 General] The Realone:
I do think the 2.3.3 update will solve a lot of annoyances but yes, you'd probably still need some good custom ROMs to get anywhere near todays high-end smartphones. I agree with you on the sound quality. Where my Sony Ericsson W995 is still the phone with the most superior sound quality, it went downhill with the smartphones.

SE did present their new walkman smartphone the other day though, the W8. Although it's basicly a rebranded X8 this may be signs that SE doesn't wanna drop the Walkman line yet and that might be good for us in the future.
[XPERIA X10 General] MrHassell:
Atrix IMHO changes the game entirely. What I'd be looking at if I was Sony, is that concept with their lessons learned from the X10. They really have great looking hardware and I expected too much with the X10. Completely agree with Gingerbread and 2.3.3 upgrade, will go miles in improving the device.

The real issue isn't Android versions, it's the restrictions imposed by the bootloader. Lacking sources for the Framework and customer apps like Timescape etc, is something Samsung, Motorola and HTC all suffer from.

With recent developments, opening the boot loader web service and choosing to upgrade to 2.3.3, it may provide Sony an edge over Samsung, Motorola and HTC if they were bold enough to make such a move and release sources to core services, Framework, Contacts and Timescape, opposed to the plugin architechture.. actual sources!

Garmin / Asus make affordable Androids but to be honest in comparing software, Asus beats Rachel, provide sources for development and have faith, there are brilliant mind's with time and idea's that no amount of money can buy.

If anyone has an X10 or Arc they can part with, I need one as I never was able to complete some of the AOSP work I was doing and would be very happy to hear in a PM if this may be you :-)

What upset me about having been given a Galaxy S, is I'm no longer able to develop for XDA without having one to work with. I felt a part of something with XDA & developing for the X10 which, now is gone.. :-(

For all it's shortcomings, I miss my X10 and loosing it, has left a space nothing will ever fill - lol - awww haha.. :p

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JerenOtt:
So I have a stock rooted 2.2 evo. I have done nothing to it this time except use it for a hotspot. I understand that 2.3 is coming out in a couple of months and was wondering if I can OTA update to 2.3 while being rooted. I understand I will lose root I was just wondering if I could get the legitimate update. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Papa Smurf151:
Yes u can but u might just want to flash the stock rooted rom once the official 2.3 rom drops. That way u keep root cause more than likely in 2.3 the exploit to root will be fixed and there is no telling how long it will take to find another exploit but then again this is xda and I'm sure it wont take long to root it
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
I wouldn't bother taking the actual OTA. It will be no different than flashing a stock rooted version prepared by one of the dev's here on XDA. That will still be real as it gets, and you won't lose root.

Also, sometimes it's been reported to be problematic to accept an OTA when you're rooted. The OTA may fail sometimes, depending on your hboot and radio versions. You're better off just flashing a rooted version. Or you could just unroot, accept the OTA, and then patiently wait for a new root exploit.

Also, in theory, if you've flashed unrevoked forever, you should always have S off, which then in theory you could just reflash recovery and go from there. However, I would not trust doing that, lol.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JerenOtt:
But if I flash the rom won't I have to download all of my apps again? I know I have to with cm7.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chefdave12118:
I would stay away from ota... the ota rom will beon xda probaly the same day
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
Yes. But that would be the least of.my concerns, considering there may not be a root exploit for.the OTA. You may end up losing your data if you took the ota anyways. You could.also just use titanium backup to backup your apps.
[Bravo General] zax10:
I am having issues installing the SBF for 2.2. I am getting an error message about not being able to find initialization value. Did anybody run into this error and find out how to fix it.
[Bravo General] bandroidx:
a) make sure your sbf is good.

b) what version of RSD lite are you using on what OS?
[Bravo General] zax10:
I got the sbf from the one attached to the thread. I am using rsdlite 4.5. It is the only one that would read that the bravo was connected. I am on windows 7 starter on netbook.
[Bravo General] BravoMotorola:
You might could try RSD 5.0

Although, I had problems with RSD on my WIN7 Vaio also that I could never get around so I just used an XP to do the job.
[Bravo General] zax10:
I gave up with win7 netbook. Used my XP desktop and it started and finished perfectly.
[Bravo General] ctcost:
I flashed the linked version via rsd and have no launcher. It started briefly then went to black. Everything works just can't initiate anything. It said it was ready to dl an update after flash so I clicked yes thinking this might be motoblur...BUT, it's waiting for offpeak hours because I cannot turn on wifi. Any thoughts on the next step?

Also, does anyone have a link to the stock 2.1 sbf just in case? I'm kinda in need of my phone right now. thx
[Bravo General] jorgonv:
re-download the sbf in the other thread and re-flash it. it probably flashed wrong in some minor way that is messing something up.
[Bravo General] ctcost:
Nahh still black. Thanks for the thought though. At least I can receive incoming calls and everything else for now. Then use the recent calls list to dial back after calling the bravo. :/
[Bravo General] MCFarmfresh:
There is no 2.1 .sbf so if the 2.2 .sbf isn't working then something is wrong. If you can, do a factory data reset and reboot and then try to flash the 2.2 .sbf. see if that works.
[Bravo General] ctcost:
Thanks Mcfarmfresh. Didn't want to go that route but didn't lose anything but some texts. It got me back to factory. Will try the flash again in the am. :D
[Bravo General] ctcost:
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm proud to announce the birth of a brand new baby FroYo. Thx again Mcfarmfresh for pushing me in that direction. With Motoblur, all I lost were apps...no biggie.
[Bravo General] MCFarmfresh:
Awesome! Good to hear. Glad I could help. :)
[Bravo General] 10moons:
HELP! I meet the same problem! How can you resolve it? Please help me!
[Bravo General] dontbejeff:
OK I had CM7 working and then I did something stupid and bricked my phone. When I do the SBF, it goes through and then upon reboot it boot-loops. I used the SBF from the other post and am using RSD 5.0, but am not sure what else could be going wrong. I wish I could have wiped things, but when it bricked it wouldn't get to the point for me to get into recovery. I hope I didn't brick it too bad... :(

edit: I found a post on how to get to the recovery mode to wipe the data. If you need to wipe data after installing an sbf, press the down volume button and hold then press the power button until you see the moto symbol. after you see the exclamation point, press BOTH the up and down volume buttons together to get to the options. The last post I found was a little confusing because some people say you have to touch the bottom right of the screen, which doesn't work.
[Bravo General] chemicalsmile:
Did this end up working for you?
[Bravo General] dontbejeff:
Yes it did. I am back using CM7 on my Bravo :-)
[Bravo General] Junkyardjames87:
The posts relating to pushing the corner of the screen relate to Eclair, 2.1, recovery menu. Froyo, 2.2 ^ is pushing both Vol ^ and v.

I've moved onto a Samsung Galaxy S and have two accessories spare for the X10i:

- Momax skin case (transparent white edges, transparent blue back). It's a really good case!

- Momax matte screen protector with correct cut-outs.

Anyone in New Zealand is welcome to them - I'll post at my cost (not courier, just snail mail). You can pick up in Wellington too.

They're FREE to you.

The only thing is you must have at least:

- 10 posts to your name

- 2 thanks

Heya, I'd really prefer someone who has made a few more posts - the idea is to be able to give back to someone in the xda-developers community, by passing these onto someone that's contributed posts, helpful info etc.

However as there hasn't been much interest so far, I'll wait for another week or so and if no one else replies, then they're all yours. PM me on the 6th of April with your address and I'll send them down to you if no one else has asked.

Cheers - and hope you enjoy being here on xda-developers.

Sorry mate - missed the guy above who asked before you. If it works out with postage I'll be sending to him as 1) he asked first so that's fair, and 2) looks like he's been an actively contributing member of the forum.

So just a few minutes ago, I had my phone on my desk and out of the corner of my eye I noticed my screen went from off to on, and not my lockscreen, but the white HTC logo that you get when the phone boots up. It just up and rebooted on its own. The last few things I did was update Kernel Manager and install IP Address Widget. Running 4.4.2 kernel and BAMF 1.5-NTE.

Any Ideas?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] babybacon:
are you overclocking at all?

were you tethering?

was the phone hot?

Are you familiar with ADB?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkey1911:
Same thing happened to me a little while ago, BAMF remix 1.5 o/ced to 1.2. Been stable for about 30 minutes since reboot.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voxigenboy:
Ive been having this same problem lately. It seems to happen primarily when i have aDownloader running(torrent app). It did happen once though while i was playing Angry Birds. I called Verizon about it but was told the only kkown issue with the TB is the battery issue... An in store rep however stated that he dealt with this problem before and said its an issue with the battery contacts and to clean them. I did give them a cleaning but the phone still reboots by itself. Its only happened about 3-4 times in the past week but still annoying nonetheless.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkey1911:
Had it happen again today on the way home.

BAMF Remix 1.5 o/ced to 1.2ghz.

On 4G

In the car dock on the car charger running nav.

After the reboot I checked the temp in SetCPU and I was running 40c. Turned off the charger and killed Car Home and the temp dropped like a rock to the mid 20s with in 5-10 minutes.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thunderboltglass:
Same thing with 4.4.2 kernel. Maybe just too undervolted for some of our phones.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marvinmadman:
Mine is still STOCK. It does reboot every now and then. So I can proudly say that it isn't just because of the rooted/flashed, OCed and whatnot. I wonder what could be causing it? Oh and my stock text messaging app slows to a crawl and pulls the E-brake. I have to reboot to get it working again.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbox:
Most of the people I've seen reporting reboots had it after they updated to the leaked RUU. if it was happening to me on stock I would complain very loudly to Verizon.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddckylec:
I haven't rooted yet either, and the mysterious reboot happened twice.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joerph:
Happened herw too. I had the problem when i first rooted. The phone would restart in bootloader. Now after I applied new RUU and radio I noticed phone restarted but no bootloader just regular. I am not sure if it is now from me killing some app and the phone doesn't like that.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00s3y:
This is a known problem for some people who have upgraded to the leaked RUU. BAMF 1.5 is a rom that is based off of that leak. Some people have reported random reboots, with & without OC'ing. Only other option right now is to use a rom that doesn't use the new base.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarwynZ:
I think it may be the radio and not the OS part of the leak... I am using Perfect Storm 1.3 and updated ONLY the radio because I do not have the time at the moment to reset everything the way I like it... and I am getting the random reboots... 3 so far today... ive been trying to find a way to go back to the old Radio until this is sorted out... anyone know where I can find that?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voxigenboy:
Whatever is causing it its clear that its not a root issue since its happening to people whove rooted as well as people who havent rooted. As my last post stated, its happened to me 3-4 times this week and i havent rooted.

I do feel its b.s. that the verizon rep is blaming it dirty battery contacts.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hammer4203:
I really think it's app related. Mine has rebooted twice. My wife's has done it at least 3 times a week. Although I noticed mine will be close to a dead battery when it does it. The wife's is just random. That's why I am leaning on app. I have since rooted mine on stock. I have not seen a reboot yet. Both times mine did it I was watching a long youtube video. Wife's is just sitting there when it reboots.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rvice:
Run "adb logcat" and try to force the issue....If it is the same as mine, coming out of airplane mode causes the problem:

We never set airplane mode. And I haven't had it happen since I rooted last week. The wife has had it reboot again though. One more time and I am taking to the store and making them swap it. I am beginning to think it is an actual hardware issue of some kind in hers.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidGraphix:
That's very interesting to hear yours is rebooting while on STOCK. This whole time, we've been under the impression it was our radios or possibly roms. Have you had any more reboots?

I had 4 reboots within an one hour running the latest radio leak and das bamf 1.5 remix.

I'm running Lightning ROM 3.3.1 with Minimalistic kernel extreme for the past 12 hours and haven't had one reboot.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ramborami:
I have 2 of these at work, both stock.

One reboots 3-4 times a week. The other is perfect- 0 reboots.

I replaced the bad one under warranty. The warranty replacement also reboots 3-4 times a week (they sent me a "new" one with no battery/accessories)

So Yesterday I swapped the batteries between my good Tbolt and my new replacement Tbolt to see if its a battery issue.... still waiting on results, so far no reboots on both

I am starting to think that its a charger issue though.

The good phone is charged once per day (overnight)

The bad ones are charged 2-3 times per day with different chargers (home, car, work). We notice that usually it reboots while its being charged or soon after its disconnected from a charger.
