sigh......I'm also on Global Generic, i was always under the impression that this firmware would be one of the first to get updates, that's why i flashed it ever since it came out, seems like it's the last, ironic that a GLOBAL generic is the last.....I hope it gets released by tonight though
[XPERIA X10 General] stan.s:
There's a thread on the ATT debranding, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1012380

The firmware used is the generic x10a 2.1 version and works on Rogers. This is a easy to do upgrade and all the links to the software and instructions are in the thread.

Correct me if I'm wrong but neither the branded or unbranded 2.3.3 firmware for the x10a is release yet. I currently on 1234.4820 which is unbranded and I haven't seen any notification to date.

[XPERIA X10 General] elvish:
BTW Rogers has said they will support the 2.3 for their x10's so good news for those who are branded to rogers canada

[XPERIA X10 General] Kaya30:
i have the same version and i'm still waiting for the update!
[XPERIA X10 General] roanmy:
While I'm happy for those with branded handsets getting the update, I got to say I'm pretty disappointed that they get it before the Global Generic, as it is also an unbranded version. -_-
[XPERIA X10 General] arkedk:
Why be disappointed? You can easily flash any of the available 2.3 firmwares.

I kept telling sammyjc89 that he shouldn't expect Global Generic to be the first in line to get the 2.3 update.

But he firmly believed it to be so. Now that the X10i roll-out is almost done, only Global Generic, India and South Africa is left to get the Generic kit 2.3 roll-out.
[XPERIA X10 General] Bhupen Gaitonde:
When can we expect the update... i am from India..
[XPERIA X10 General] arkedk:
My best estimate is tomorrow, or at least before the end of the week.
[XPERIA X10 General] Bhupen Gaitonde:
hey... thanks for ur prompt reply..
[XPERIA X10 General] roanmy:
@arkedk;

I think it's disappointing because I shouldn't have to resort to that, it should be somewhat easier.

I didn't expect it to be released first or anything, but seeing as how almost EVERYONE has it by now, I'm pretty disappointed.

Especially because SE said it was originally only for unbranded handsets, yet quite a few branded ones have it too.

=)
[XPERIA X10 General] arkedk:
Well that statement is 4-5 months old.

And carriers around the globe had already soon after said they will put out the 2.3 update. So that statement from Sony Ericsson got debunked quickly.

Well being so easy as it is, why bother sticking to Global Generic?

Just being here @ XDA is a big indicator that you're interested in the more technical aspects of your device, so why does a regional code that Sony Ericsson put on your device make you feel disappointed when it can be changed so easily.
[XPERIA X10 General] roanmy:
It's not that it's too hard or anything, however I still feel it shouldn't be necessary.

If SE hasn't released the update before I go on holidays on thursday, I will. Though I'll be disappointed that I had too.
[XPERIA X10 General] dennymancilla:
Hey Arkedk!

Thanks for the thread! Pretty informative and basically covering what SE failed to provide!

You got any idea when can we expect any of the x10a roms? Im on 1234-4820!

Thanks!

Hey im at Sri Lanka

Still no update for me

X10i , GENERIC-User , World , 1234-6152_R8B

will i get update ?? or its no update for me ??

Please help me......

[XPERIA X10 General] Carlo_WPG:
Thanks Elvish for confirming that :)

I'll hold off until Friday as I mentioned earlier before I start randomly flashing other firmware to my phone :)

Now with 2.3 released, the awesome dev's here can work at fine tuning it and putting their flair on it, as well as focusing more on the bootloader :) (to which I'm still surprised that Sony hasn't released the info for unlocking as of yet considering that they did for their newer line of phones...)

[XPERIA X10 General] rody-iq:
i have x10i de hardware and x10a software and everything is fully working and there is no update for me

but all my friend get update on x10i
[XPERIA X10 General] sagacious1:
"radio hardware components include filters, amplifiers, modulators, and demodulators. in a software defined radio these components are defined in software, you can adjust a software-defined radio system as needed without making significant hardware changes." i.e. frequency bands.

to my knowledge, cell phones aren't software defined radios. anyone else with more knowledge able to chime in?
[XPERIA X10 General] t-c:
This is probably the wrong thread to start this discussion but my understanding is that the baseband provides the hardware interface to the kernel. If there are PA or chipsets that support specific UMTS bands then the baseband needs to support that hardware.

Being multiband hardware/software means that on the whole if a carrier supports multible bands the device whether or not it supports it's native bands or not will still operate at an alternative band(that the carrier needs to support).

So whilst the x10a has 850MHz the x10i may present a 1700/2100MHz band that the carrier supports and as such the phone will work at the alternative UMTS band.

If on the other hand your carrier only supports 850MHz or UMTS then it's likely that it won't(my experience in Aust.).

Unfortunately my experience is purely observational(in Metro 850/2100 everything OK on 3G outside metro 850Mhz only 2G on x10i baseband)

Have a look at this and hope someone with a little more knowledge than I can clarify things

http://www.netmite.com/android/mydroid/development/pdk/docs/telephony.html

It stands to reason that being an international standard that the variants(x10i & a) are there to satisfy a particular function I cannot se a manufacturer building 2 sets of harware & supporting s/w for no good reason.
[XPERIA X10 General] krner0:
Does someone know anything about 1232-9897?

It's one of the few x10i unbranded which hasn't been released yet.

and about 4820 we'll have to wait at least a week, I'm sure about this
[XPERIA X10 General] elvish:
That why after this phone SE can suck it..i will never buy their products again..after all the misleading information and non exsistant customer service..if it wasnt for this forum i would have tossed this cell in the trash already..tired of being last for everything from OS's to updates..

I was told to stay away from SE and didnt listen..well lesson learned imma tell ppl to stay away from them like its the black plague
[XPERIA X10 General] alankstiyo:
I use to say, I won't buy a SE phone, but saw the x1 and wanted it badly, then saw the x10 and said ok that looks cool want it, after 2 months I was like omfg why did I bought this sh%t???

now I never recommend Se phones and think my best option is HTC but idk

just imagine this, generic kits are being updated but in mexico, they don't freaking know anything about it and they might update after 2 months of the official release
[XPERIA X10 General] efx456:
Same here buddy. Been with SE for 10 years. But never again.
[XPERIA X10 General] JuaNMaN:
Telcel in México said that they still don't have the update, here is the tweet about it:

RT @Telcel: Aún no sabemos cuando la marca hará la liberación para nosotros. Te sugerimos seguir al pendiente...

And the dualtouch update was never released in here, so I guess that this update will take a two months like you said...

But I unbranded my x10 so I only have to wait a few days...

[XPERIA X10 General] stan.s:
Right. The question was how to get some one from Rogers onto a X10a generic. There isn't a time frame for Rogers 2.3.3 update.
[XPERIA X10 General] otero99:
debranding is easy3r than you think

download the flahing software and just download a basic firmware like the famous 1234 4820 that everyone is talking about... look for thread on debranding. its quite easy.
[XPERIA X10 General] sagacious1:
ah...so you're saying the x10i & a variants have the same chipset capabilities--it's just the baseband software that is tailored to whatever regions the carrier might have different support? when you said that you couldn't see a manufacturer making two different pieces of hardware, that clicked for me. i dont see that happening either, its the same way most car manufacturers make certain parts that fit a wide range of vehicles. profit margin and not having to re-tool everything for a new part.makes sense to me. i dont think it's all that big a deal to have this discussion in this thread because i think it directly applies. maybe not everyone cares about the interworkings of the hardware/software but it does need to be figured out because the basic question is whether or not people can flash one variant to another. i think we're of the same overall conclusion though, your bands may be limited depending on whatever native support your carrier provides. just at first i thought it was purely a hardware restriction. :)

more like inaccessible hardware due to two baseband variations.
[XPERIA X10 General] BingoRingo:
My understanding is that the X10a and the X10i each use a different radio, so yes, they have different pieces of hardware and this cannot be changed by firmware/software.

Same thing for many telephones though, like the Nexus S for example.
[XPERIA X10 General] BingoRingo:
For the 2.1 update we got it within a week after it was first released if my memory is good. I know we didn't have to wait for long.

Anyways, I read it's buggy so I am in no hurry to upgrade, I'll wait for X10a.
[XPERIA X10 General] elvish:
Yes but remember when it was promised back in June lol thats what im talking about my faith is completely shot in SE and all the probs my buds had with past SE products just confirmed what a crappy company SE really is..guess i had to learn it myself but from now on I wont touch an SE product again..as far as im concerned they just string consumers along..if it wasnt for XDA i doubt we would have this update or even dual touch..remember this cell cant support either ;-)

[XPERIA X10 General] Carlo_WPG:
The X10 is my second SE product I've owned. The other unit was a w580i. I loved it for it's sporty features and compact size. But after awhile the buttons broke, and the L.E.D's on the side stopped working, the phone started randomly phoning one particular number for no particular reason, and finally started randomly rebooting - even during calls, the bluetooth disconnected when the device was 4" away. I had that phone only 2 years of my 3 year plan.

I upgraded to the SE X10a because it was new, hip, it was Android!!! Now I don't have the same issues I had with the old phone. I have new issues, but they are software related from what I can tell, and not really hardware. This I'm kind of okay with, especially since I have discovered XDA, because software can be fixed - to an extent.

The work that Z and Wolf, and all the other great developers on this site have pushed forward, has made this phone more stable, more user friendly, more like this smart phone SHOULD be. Do I think the 2.3.3. update will fix all of the SE issues? Heck no! But what it will do it give more fuel and information to the dev's to fix the issues with the actual firmware rather than having to port it from another phone or from source. Drivers have always been an issue, this update will go a long way to giving them the tools they need to complete their roms. If the bootloader can be cracked in the future by the development teams, then that even further opens up possibilities.

I would rather have SE release a crappy software based product but with good hardware over a phone who's hardware fails after a few years. I haven't given up on this phone yet. With the support of XDA, you would be silly to. Will I ever buy another SE product? I don't know for sure. I said previously that I wouldn't when we went from 1.6 to 2.1, but I think I was being a bit harsh and unrealistic. If SE can produce a quality product that fits my needs the way the X10 does, then yeah, I probably would buy another one - so long as Android continues on, and XDA developers are there to pick up the flag ;)

Now with that said - STOP COMPLAINING!!! The update will take place when it takes place for those who are on the schedule to get it. Don't ask when your going to get the software. It will happen when it happens. Check the first page for update info. Check SEUS to see if your phone updates.

Ok fai, since your customize version No. is not in the list, I am afraid that you cant update your phone. Use some trick to update your phone, example, if you got a friend that had the same phone and had update to GB just plug in your friend phone to pc companion. The message will shown that your friend phone is up to date. Then you click install to repair. You plug off your friend phone then replace with your phone. Lets the pc companion done the rest.

hey i used titanium backup to backup all my apps while im waiting for x10a global generic. i've never restored from titanium backup before. how does it work? does it just create a log file for you to automatically redownload everything on the market or does it actually store everything locally and restore them that way once i reinstall titanium after the new flash? i ask because many applications have many settings and saved information. like password keeper, i'd like to know if i need to write all those down in the event that i will be redownloading the program all over again, thanks.

I´m using AppBrain.com to back up all my apk. You don´t have to store them in to SD Card they´ll be stored on the web pages. Sorry for posting here.
[XPERIA X10 General] dennymancilla:
Hey!!!

I'm not really sure about this... I might be wrong, but I think you need a rooted phone to use titanium backup! If that doesn't really work you could download Mybackup from the market... it's free and may be used with unrooted phones! I've tried it and it works great! And when it comes to your apps, it saves the apk files on your card and when you do a restore it installs all the apps you were previoulsy running!

PD. on a side note, if you want to save your contacts in a safe and foolproof manner, save them in your sdcard by exporting them to a *.vcf file from the phonebook application itself. ;)

[XPERIA X10 General] cdn_tbird:
Anyone know how many kits SE releases daily? If it's 16 like the list above and SE finishes the x10i firmwares first, then we in NA are looking at Sun. before we in NA/SA start seeing any x10a firmware releases. Way to go SE, maybe you should upgrade that hamster powered server to a gerbil powered one.:rolleyes:
[XPERIA X10 General] Carlo_WPG:
I'm not sure if the updates are being sent out by Sony themselves or if SEUS just forwards the request to your local provider based on the region code, and the software is sent back through the SEUS software as an intermediary. Either way, when you think about how many people in the world are using this phone, and how many people are updating this phone and other phones in general at any given time, the load on any server would be quite dramatic.

If the update is being distributed by SE from their servers, I can't see them building a specific server for distributing this specific update to the X10 community. They have to balance the load somehow, so limiting the distribution to 16 regions at a time is rather efficient. As North America only makes up maybe 10% of the cellphone market in the world, and South America even less so, it makes business sense to push the updates to where the greatest market share is. I live in Canada. I have an X10a. I have to wait for the update just like everyone else. The other option is to use Wolfbreaks update to force the Gingerbread update on your phone - Just make sure you backup your APN information to be on the safe side (there are free apps in the market to do so), and note that your phone may have a bit of an identity crisis in thinking that it's an X10i. I don't believe there are any other issue as I don't believe there is any real hardware differences between the two units (but I could be wrong on this). His update is already tweaked for best performance, and pre-routed.
[XPERIA X10 General] akshaysuri2000:
india has to wait forever for update ha ha that is why i bought samasung galaxy s II great phone in every aspect
[XPERIA X10 General] cdn_tbird:
Please tell me you don't seriously believe this. According to their own press releases, Sony sells maybe 40 - 50 million handsets annually worldwide. Let's assume they sold 100 million handsets over the last two years. Their bread and butter has been Symbian based dumb phones which almost never get an update, and if they do it's a couple of MB at best, not the 100+MB for Android. I'd estimate that they've sold no more than 50 million smartphones over the last two years, and that's being very generous. Even if everyone of those smart phones tried to download an update at the very same time, I would hardly characterize that as a dramatic load in this day and age. We're talking about a sizable multinational company here (not even taking into account Sony's or Ericsson's other businesses) and at worst would be co-located with other Sony or Ericsson companies in multiple data centers around the world, not some mom & pop shop, so 16 firmwares a day would be very light.

BTW, my phone was an unbranded x10a right out of the box, not a Rogers branded one, so no need to wait for any carrier to sign-off on a firmware build so that SE can release it.
[XPERIA X10 General] cheekyscouser35:
Anyone from the uk and on o2 with a o2 x10i phone got the update yet as have spoken to o2 customer service and they seemingly know nothing about the update yet just keep on saying check the website as when they know they will post details there
[XPERIA X10 General] dachao:
I totally agree with you. All the updates should roll out at the same time. It should not depend if the phone is 10i or 10a. SE gave us the update but they screwed up with the update roll out. I do not think that I am going to by another SE phone.

I had an iPhone 4 and got the x10a instead. A huge downgrade in my opinion.

[XPERIA X10 General] dennymancilla:
Downgrade?? :rolleyes: It depends on how you look at it... having used both handsets, I believe that although the iOS interface is fine and dandy with sh!tloads of eye candy... the X10 does not suffer from any yellow spots on the screen or death grip issues! And by far, the X10's camera is superior to that of the iphone... plus, I'd choose android (any dessert type) over iOS any day of the week and twice on sunday! :D

Still, it's just one guy's opinion! ;)
