Use the flashtool to flash global generic .435 FW and select your location and language when you do your initial setup. Search the Dev forum for the Flashtool thread by Androxyde. Flashtool is also how you flash the BB of your choice.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=920746

Thats the link to the flashtool. The FW links are in that thread too. If you want a different BB independent of the FW there's a thread with a collection of all available BBs in the Dev forum.

robotfoodisgood: Using SEUS installs the firmware for what ever region the phone has been coded to use. When I attempt to use SEUS, the language becomes Spanish, and all the settings dealing with Voicemail, APN, and Network get purged. I used Titanium backup prior to performing this flash. When I realized that my settings were gone, I re-downloaded it from the Market and restored my settings. I'm not sure if its an incompatible setting was introduced during the restore process that has caused my phone to act the way it has.

CMoney87: I will give that a shot. Hopefully this will fix the issue. I was originally planing on upgrading to one of the Gingerbread firmwares. After hearing that Sony was going to release a 2.3.3 firmware of their own - however fairly stripped (from what I've read - no live wallpaper, no HD camera, no face tracking, mediascape, etc). If that is the case I don't see the need to wait for a few more months in order to get Gingerbread, there are already better rom's already available for us to use.

Global Generic

Are the Global Generic sin files the same as the Generic ftf files? If not the sin files are no longer available for download it seems. In either case I'm about to try the Global Generic ftf file for my phone. Hopefully this works :) Fingers and toes crossed! LOL

[EDIT]

Before flashing to the Generic I did a bit more searching and fell apon this link: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9200597&postcount=22

this allowed me to fully restore it back to the Rogers firmware. After performing the SEUS update my settings are as follows:

Model: X10a

Firmware Version: 2.1-update1

Baseband: 2.1.55

Kernel Version: 2.6.29

Build Number 2.1.1.A.0.6

I still fully plan on flashing the Generic firmware (probably tomorrow after church and a visit to the in-laws), but was wondering if it would be beneficial to backup the firmware and baseband, and perhaps posting it somewhere for others to use should someone want to restore their phone to that of a Rogers firmware should issues arise?

Before flashing to the Generic Firmware, I'll root the phone and use Titanium Backup to backup the current settings so that should the Generic firmware not retrieve the APN and voicemail setting information from Rogers, that I can restore it easily enough.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CMoney87:
Sure, you can always just put the backup on a PC too if you wont be using it for a while and dont have the room on your SD. Just dont rename it.

For video recording, i think galaxy s2 is better compare to iphone 4...
[Galaxy S II General] TheAggression:
The gs2's camera has a sense of clarity i really like and the iphone 4's camera has more vibrant colors.
[Galaxy S II General] deli_gt:
Yes, galaxy s 2 is total win for me because all the colours are natural.
[Galaxy S II General] NZtechfreak:
Using GSMarena's photo compare tool the SGSII is significantly better than the iPhone 4. Its video is also better. Its browser is much better. In all the categories mentioned in the OPs thread the winner is clear.
[Galaxy S II General] rovex:
For me sharpness and clarity are the most important things for the camera. Colour can be fixed easily in photoshop. Even the old pink centre glow issue the early HD2 ROMs had could be fixed
[Galaxy S II General] murklor:
The overall image quality is definetly better (especially in the night video!), however one can clearly see that the S2 struggles with auto-focus (something that's been mentioned in many reviews too). Hoping it can be improved with software updates, but I'm afraid its a flaw in the hardware used by Samsung.
[Galaxy S II General] khein:
@ around 1:20 of the video, the light sources captured in the Iphone4 is a bit distracting (not sure whats the proper term for that.). I find it annoying.

Also +1 to SGS2's natural capture and Iphone 4's vibrant colors. I prefer the SGS2's video, specially on the initial part of the video where they are capturing/filming the sky.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Show us your proof.
[Galaxy S II General] CARLXXXH:
Would you please explain a little more about this?

I am very impressed overall with my SGS2 but I have found the autofocus to be especially poor when recording video in 1080p. I am hoping this can be fixed with an update to the phone.:)
[Galaxy S II General] BlueScreenJunky:
The fact that he says so on a forum should be enough to prove that he is indeed afraid that it's a flaw in the hardware used by samsung. I don't need more proof.

Edit : Also, experience has told me not to count on software upgrades to correct flows (for example with the glitchy touchscreen on my Nexus One)
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
His post is saying that he knows for certain that it's a hardware flaw, if this is the case then he needs to back up his statement with proof.

Also if you flow problem I suggest a visit to the urologist.

If you don't need proof then that's just great for you, I have some prime estate I would like to sell you for a couple of million dollars but I don't have any pictures or documentation to prove that own this land though. I hope that wouldn't be a problem.
[Galaxy S II General] OHDUSER:
I dont realy get the auto focus problem... it takes more time to focus on things, but after that everything is great.

I'm not expiriencing those problems whatsoever.
[Galaxy S II General] CARLXXXH:
Thats fine if you are taking a picture but not so good whan you are filming and you move the camera and lose focus:(
[Galaxy S II General] BlueScreenJunky:
:D:D:D

English is not my first language (hence my "flow" problems ;) ), and I thought I'm "afraid" meant that you didn't know something for sure but thought it might be the case and that it would be a bad thing (= I fear). But after doing some research it seems like "I'm afraid" actually means "I'm sorry" in this case.

So just forget about my previous post ^^

PS : My SGS2 should arrive on Monday, and I'm pretty sure I'll like it even if the autofocus is not that great =)
[Galaxy S II General] Certinfy:
SGS2 looks better to me, colours on the iPhone seem... different.
[Galaxy S II General] NIK516:
Having owned an iphone 4 and now a gs2 i can say with all honesty the image quality ,video and browser look so much better on the iphone 4. But you have to realize this is only because of the resolution of the iphone screen. galaxy s 2 is a great phone but it is not in the same class as the iphone 4, gs3 will be because it will move up to 300dpi.
[Galaxy S II General] Garfs:
Are you saying iphone4 is better? As I'm looking to change from iPhone as a bored and was looking at either sgs2 or HTC sensation

Tbh I'm leaning towards htc
[Galaxy S II General] CARLXXXH:
I have also owned an IP4 and I have to say I would never go back, SGS2 is a breath of fresh air.
[Galaxy S II General] NIK516:
we are not talking over all but, when viewing the images of your device iPhone is better, but overall the gs2 has so much more to offer.

I'm just talking of my personal thoughts and experiences using both devices, I can't tell you wat to get but apple is stronger in hardware because there quality control is second to none I don't care what is said.
[Galaxy S II General] bilboa1:
iphone4:

screen: LG

wifi & network: whatever (not apple)

the rest: samsung

antenna design: apple

should tell enough about the "superior hardware" ;-)
[Galaxy S II General] mbernstein:
But if you see the pictures and videos on the same display (on the TV or PC) or print the pictures, which is best? I guess that's what matters.

Thanks for the info.
[Galaxy S II General] Jabbypants:
I have owned a I4 for a good 7 months then got his, this phone is in a different class, better camera, not over saturated colours like in videos on the I4, nice not having to touch focus all the time how crap is that.

The screen does look sharper on the I4 but so it should with the resolution and size of the screen, but when it comes to colours etc this screen destroys it deep blacks and vibrant colours there is no comparing a LCD to a SuperAMOLED +.

And the last thing good riddance too Itunes I hated it with a passion, for me this has set the benchmark with phones and it will be interesting to see how the I5 does as they have to raise the bar.

[Galaxy S II General] bakewelluk:
My housemate with an iPhone 4 definitely tries to find minor victories when comparing our phones... but then he concedes he's jealous of the rich colours and general speed of the SGS2 so it's all good.

[Galaxy S II General] rambo6:
Some have said that the IP4 has a better camera and video recorder. I think your video has proved otherwise. Thanks for sharing. I've been using the Galaxy S and love it. I cannot wait to get an S2. I just wish I could get all my kids on the android bandwagon.
[Galaxy S II General] bilboa1:
this vid clears up any doubt

sgs2 has much much better colors and no stupid over saturation

in fact the video is quite pleasant. anyone has a N8 to compare ?
[Galaxy S II General] olyloh6696:
sgs 2 beats the sh1t out if the iphone in camera and web browsing lol. it's soooo smooooooth........ and the large super amoled + is amazing, although, i still think the retina display is slightly better (clearer - more pixels) sgs display has better colours though.
[Galaxy S II General] RyanZA:
Disagree on iphone display being slightly better for only one reason: the iphone display is tiny! :D

I personally have a MUCH easier time with the bigger screen than with the higher res which you only really notice on small text, and I have trouble reading small text on the smaller iphone display even with the higher res.

So while higher res is good, I'd say that larger display trumps higher res. Plus the colours are so much prettier...
[Galaxy S II General] olyloh6696:
oooh yeh, your right! i was meant to say it has a better screen (pixels) but what use is it if all the pixels are all cramped up? so yeh, the sgs 2 is far superior! the tiny screen on the iphone is not joyful for web browsing at all! also lets not forget.. can the iphone do flash!? nope! while our sgs 2 baby can run a heavy flash web page with NO LAG at all!
[Galaxy S II General] NIK516:
hmmm it's a tuff one, but for me if the gs3 does come out with a 300 dpi screen then it will be in all areas better. the gs2 screen is not there yet and if it was good enough or better Sammy wouldn't be upgrading it.

but in all other areas gs2 is so much better, but the auto focus needs to be tweaked, it's still iffy.
[Galaxy S II General] ammcfc:
I'm working on part3. Stay tuned. :p
[Galaxy S II General] fbloise:
this comparisson is marvelous... comapring the iP4 (from june 2010) with a Galaxy S2 from March 2011...

brilliant!

and yet, the iphone sells more, has better battery, and keeps its price better than the crappy Galaxy family...

I sold mine (Galaxy S euro) and bought an iP4 and dont regret. Battery life was horrible, even with custom roms (darky anyone?), GPS was a **** which Samsung tried to denied at all cost.

Samsung is B.S.

if I ever return to android will be to a HTC or some reputable company.
[Galaxy S II General] godutch:
It's not really fair to compare the ip4 with the sgs2, it would be more fair to compare the ip4 with the original sgs or the sgs2 with the upcoming iphone (5, 4s?)
[Galaxy S II General] bilboa1:
lets see, the galaxy 2 has more battery than the IP4 and is better all around (even resolution wise imo - because a number does not matter, what matter is the bigger screen)

moreover, IP4 is the CURRENT CUTTING EDGE from Apple. That's why it's compared to it. Want to compare to IP5? Well, there's no such thing.

I know at least 2 people who had an iphone, didn't like it and switched for the SGS 4 month ago and do not regret - and they're not techies or even what you'd call a geek, neither did I convince them. They just played with mine when they saw it and decided to switch.

Also, Darky isn't what I would call a good rom.

Stupid arguying apart, the SGS1 does have a slightly bad battery life (not worse than HTC by any mean, but compared to BB, Nokia, Apple). The SGS2 battery life however, well, my IP4 friends charge way before I do. And they cut off data when they don't use the data, to save battery and last a couple of days (which makes me laugh)

I also think Samsung is actually better than HTC. The TW is actually not so intrusive UI wise at least (some of the inner stuff is not so nice, but it works and the end-user won't see it - only CM/AOSP porters), and they release sources in a timely fashion. Instead of putting useless UI or features such as the so called instant boot, they put useful stuff like GPU acceleration in many parts of the OS or a proper UPNPav bridge.

They also update fairly quickly compared to others (although they all are slow to update Android..)

Oh and, I think you're B.S. :-)
[Galaxy S II General] tameracingdriver:
No chance the s2 has better battery life than the iphone 4. I've had both... Iphone battery life blows the sgs2 into the weeds, FACT.

The ip4 will last a good 6+ hours browsing on 3g, the sgs2 will be lucky to last 4 tbh. I prefer the samsung as an all round device, but lets not talk crap.
[Galaxy S II General] pixie77:
I love my sgs2 but I am considering the iphone. My problem is that at the moment and probably for the foreseeable future the amount of accessories and connectivity available for the iphone is immense, even my gym has iphone docks on the equipment, the sgs2 and android can't compete with this. You can quote tech specs all day, buying a phone should be about what you need as an individual, unless you're just planning to play top trumps.

My sgs2 does kick ass but there are just a couple of things in the iphones favour that out weigh the sgs2 specs that may make me switch......

Horses for courses.
[Galaxy S II General] downwiththebanksters:
This generation, the 2.x's, are finally on par with Apple. Who knows what the i5 does, but it can only be as good. We have apps, and approaching par in the userbase too. But most importantly we have choice and openness. Even HTC gets that. The vids here are just one small part. We don't need to listen to the apple people any longer.
[Galaxy S II General] eallan:
You're exactly right. Not even a contest on battery life.
[Galaxy S II General] sobelixtus:
Yep totally agree. Currently I have both SGS2 and iP4 and can't really decide which one to keep as a number 1. SG2 has way better HW and Camera but battery life with current 2.3.3 and KE7 is something terrible.

iP4 can easily survive three days with my usage, where SG2 struggles to stay alive 14h. So I'm thinking to put SG2 to drawer waiting for 2.3.4 update where the annoying battery bug for dual core devices is fixed.
[Galaxy S II General] Jabbypants:

[Galaxy S II General] robstunner:
its not that much of a difference.....

my iPhone would last 28-30 hours with moderate usage. The SGS2 lasts me 16-18 for me. Ive NEVER had an iphone last me 72 hours. I will admit that the iPhone 4 battery is better, but not by those numbers.
[Galaxy S II General] eallan:
28-30 vs 16-18 is a pretty huge difference.

'nuf said

if u run crap on ur phone, it wont last long, thats for sure. iOS prevents from running most of the crap. Android won't do that.
[Galaxy S II General] NIK516:
from that image it looks like your awake time was only 15-20% of time on so you really only got 6-8 hours of actual usage time ? its easy to get 2 days when your phone is in standby all day but some of us make calls, sms, browse , email, all day for work and need the device to last for the day at least.

Once again ive used both devices and the battery on the ip4 is better, the video on the iphone 4 is better on focus but not better on resolution and richness.

The android os is better but the apple os has better supported, and so is the hardware support, my ip4 had scratches in the stainless steel due to the apple bumper and i took it to the apple store and they gave me a new device. Do u think i can do that at a samsung store ? is there a samsung store?

Im not trying to bash sg2 but lets be realistic.
[Galaxy S II General] krabman:
I had my phone sitting right next to a friends ip4 and we both agreed the colors were better on the s2 but things like fine text were better on the iphone. We also both agreed the extra real estate was mucho good and in a pro/con world would take the sgs2 screen overall if given a choice. It speaks volumes when a self admitted cool aid drinker says something like that. We had a conversation as we compared our phones, how they worked, talked about older handsets. Both of us agreed on something else. With top of the line hardware now things happen pretty much instantly, they have screens which are beautiful to look at, they are getting thin enough that both of us agree we would rather have more battery than less thickness. On the other hand in length and width they have about reached their practical size limit. You kind of wonder where you go from here, thats what we were left with because smartphones are getting really good.
[Galaxy S II General] sobelixtus:
Speaking about three day usage with iPhone, I meant 48hour + 12 hours because I had to charge the phone during night after second day. So the comparison is something like 14h - 60h.

Android OS is draining the battery most with 45-50% share and second is display with 25-30%.

Practical example from this morning. iPhone and SGS2 both on and same amount of web surfing and email checking (mails are checked once / hour). After 2 hours results are: iPhone battery: 99% and SGS2 91% left.

I don't want to start any iPhone vs SGS2 fight. Both devices have their own strengths and weaknesses and in most of the cases SGS2 wins, but in battery lifetime iPhone is superior compared to SGS2. This might change after Samsung gets 2.3.4 version out or they will fix the battery bug with another way.

Update. After 6 hours devices are showing: iPhone 93%, SGS2 73%.
[Galaxy S II General] masi0:
it is like comparing lexus to fiesta, come on it is not fair to compare two different technologies, but seems for some people iP4 is still something to compete with:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II General] bilboa1:
i hope you realize that 8H of actual usage in 2 days is pretty good, i don't know anyone surfing 8h *per day* on their phone and getting 2 days out of it with a standard battery, all brands included (the black portions = i sleep obviously ;-)

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00s3y:
I don't know if you mean put a 3d app drawer in rosie, but ADW and LauncherPro both have the 3d app drawer. You can find it in their settings. Just download whichever one you want from the market. I personally use LauncherPro.

LP - https://market.android.com/details?id=com.fede.launcher

ADW - https://market.android.com/details?id=org.adwfreak.launcher
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmx5656:
Yea i know you can have it with launcher pro, but its so annoying that you have 2 launch screens. When i click on my app button i want it to be the 3d gallery, not have to select the launcher. So yes i would want it in rosie.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00s3y:
Are you asking about the 3d app drawer or the 3d gallery?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmx5656:
3d app draw, that lp has. So when scrolling through the apps it looks like a 3d cube.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00s3y:
Oh ok, what do you mean by 2 launch screens? Yes you will have 2 launchers, but only 1 of them will be used. It's not like you have to use Sense, then launch LP. LP will just "replace" Sense.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmx5656:
I had lp one time thinking it would just add the 3d draw, but then every time i hit home button it would ask which home, sense or lp, and that got really annoying fast. Plus i like my home screen from virus rom, just want the 3d draw. Unless theres a way to do what im asking. Or maybe i would give lp or adw a try if i didnt have to pick the launcher every time i hit home.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00s3y:
Hit the home button, when the 2 choices pop up, check the box below that says "use as default" and then select LP.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] necosino:
Just check the box under the home selection to use this as default, then you won't get asked every time. Thought it was pretty self explanatory.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmx5656:
yea just saw that, however it wont let me apply my virus theme to it. I have a developer i know looking into it for me to see if he can turn the 3d app draw into a apk.
