[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kfc.Android:
Hi guys,

I'm currently an AT&T customer who's thinking to switch to Tmobile's

$30/month for Unlimited text&web plan

After googled some articles regarding AT&T X10a and the Tmobile(USA) 3G

I'm still not really clear about some key facts.

Please allow me to explain my situation now:

Origin: I bought it from AT&T store

Unlocked? YES

Model: X10a (I found this on the sticker located on the back of my phone)

********************************************************

But I flashed to different baseband and ROM

Info. I found in the "About Phone"

Model number: X10i

Android version: 2.3.3

Baseband version: 2.1.71

Kerel version:2.6.29-00054-g5f01537

SEMCUser@SEMCHost#1

ROM: Wolf_Xperia_6.0.0s (Android 2.3)

I found a thread and somebody mentioned about:

"The AT&T XPERIA X10A supports the 850HMz, 900MHz, 1800MHz, 1900MHz, and 2100HMz bands. So since the phone doesn't support the needed 1700MHz band, the phone will be stuck with 2G speed on the T-Mobile network if you continue using the Sony Ericsson generic world 2.1 (for X10A) firmware."

Currently, I am using AT&T SIM card and data plan as well, and I have NO problem getting "H" at most of the time and sometimes "3G"

Q1: Is that means my phone is STILL X10a but not X10i which was shown

in the "About Phone"?

Q2: I will NOT get Tmobile HSPA/3G working on my phone, unless I get a X10i?

or I can flash it and/or de-brand it?

This question might be asked somewhere, but my case is a bit different,

since I am using different baseband and ROM from stock.

If anyone had same experience and/or you already knew the answer,

please help me out :)

Thanks in advance

James

X10a will remain x10a even though it shows x10i. For the 3g I am pretty sure T-Mobile is 1900Mhz for gsm? Correct me if I am wrong
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kfc.Android:
Thanks, that helps a lot.

btw I knew that T-mobile uses 1700/2100 for its HSPA
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TAL333:
Yes, like jailbroken iphones, an X10a will only receive at about 119kbps (edge) when connected to T-Mobile network.

Phone: Sony Ericsson Xperia X10i @1.1GHz- White

It's hard to say without knowing exactly what he did to it.

computers are complicated and a tablet is basicly a computer with a phone in it. he could have messed up a modual and decided to get out from under it. because once you start rooting and putting whatever you want on it, it's basicly yours and your warrenty is over. best way is to restore it back to the factory version and start over from there. this way you can tell if it's a software problem or hardware. it's just like building and modding your own computer.

I have spent the past week trying out several gingerbread ROMs trying to find one that I'd stable enough for daily use. The most impressive one I used was ASC Bamboozled v1.1. It was super quick and had some cool animations like the TV animation when you turned it off. I would like something kinda of like that. I know that the gingerbread ROMs have a reboot issue and that doesn't bother me too much. It is a slight annoyance but not a deal breaker. With the source of gingerbread from Samsung floating around I was wondering if there were any stable ROMs yet.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bman55:
The animation is called CRT on and off I believe.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tkeyes:
cm7 is the best. no reboots but it hasn't no 4g, which suxs.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paris6906:
I thought about cm7 but I heard there is a issue with voice calls and some of the standard things didn't work. Has that changed with the source? Nit worried about 4g seeing I don't live in a spot that has it. Yep throwing away $10 a month. I hate it.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Until the EXT4 kernel is released from source, find yourself a good stock RFS prerooted EH17 ROM to Odin and then Odin in mkasick's kernel from the new source. I don't think anyone put together a new ROM with the new kernel yet besides CM7. Or wait a few more days and I am sure there will be some.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paris6906:
Hmm.. maybe cyan till then. Thoughts?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tazfanatic:
CM7 is rock solid!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paris6906:
OK. Does anyone know where their most recent ROM is for download?

Thanks. Its the update-cm-7.1.0-Epic-KANG-1022-signed.zip link correct?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chkchkboom:
I gotta say ACS ICS is coming along quite nicely...but I'm not playing favorites here....many of the roms are incredible and more than i could ever accomplish.

A serious thankyou for loving your old equipment devs! Love you for it...and hate samsung for cornering us...not to mention sprint.

P.s. hate may be to strong a word
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tbob18:
Of all the GB roms, Thunderhawk has been the most stable for me.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaostrodamis:
Hands down acs ics. Its super stable and fast and its ics themed. cyanogen is also great if you don't mind losing 4g and video. Although battery on both roms are fantastic. I get about 18 hours average on acs and about 23 on cyanogen. And thats with a stock battery with moderate use. Ive been switching back and forth for a while now. But been running acs as my default rom. I havent had one problem with it at all. No reboots, lags, gps lock issues, or things of that sort.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devtodi:
Here's the thing about 'stability'. All the GB roms look wonderful out of the gate and perform flawlessly for 3-4 days and then start to disintegrate, act out, cause FCs and freezes. If you want serious stability, you need to use a Froyo rom. If you don't mind a few inconveniences, CM7 is the way to go. It is the most stable of the GB roms and many phone owners are very excited about its possiblities down the road. Honestly, I work in a hi-rise in San Francisco and I don't even miss the 4G, the phone is that fast. The battery life alone is worth the call sound and video issues which are minor at best. IMHO.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tkeyes:
everyones phone is different

some people have issues with cm7 and acs ics, and some people dont. so best idea is test drive both roms, to see have your phone acts it them. and with the video issue there are other players in the both markets that can help with that. and with cm7 its just plug and play no extra steps to get it to work and with acs ics there other things you have to do to get it to rite.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] austinbeam:
ACS ICS seems to be pretty good so far. No major concerns to this point, albeit early stages of testing.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RandomKing:
Don't you know not to invest in something for features it may have one day... that's what got us into trouble with the Epic 4G in the first place (6 month late Froyo, endlessly delayed Gingerbread, TV Out, FM radio...)! :D

Anyways, whenever someone asks "what's the best rom?", you'll always get very biased responses. You'll generally hear cries of "ACS!" and "Cyanogen!". While the acclaim is generally deserved, my own testing hasn't yet shown anything too fantastic in their current GB versions. ACS ICS has a somewhat glitchy launcher, but if you like it have at it. CM7 did not have anything special I could find, nor did it perform to my typical battery standards.

Try them all out, each has their own merits and each phone performs differently with different roms. Don't forget the others like Hurricane or Urban.

Or you can just follow the crowd ;).
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
When I came to XDA, I read the threads under each ROM to see what the features were and what problems people were having. People coming here now are too damn lazy to do this and want us to tell them exactly what to put on their phone. I would lke nobody to answer threads on "what's the best ROM" and maybe people will stop being lazy and read.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffro18:
If everyone liked the same thing there would be only 1 rom. Read like kenny and random suggested. Find the one with the most features that you personally need or want. I try just about every rom on here and always find my way back to thunderhawk. It just has the best mix of all the features I need working.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okishead:
I guess I will have to try it...damn it :) Can't get enough courage to root my Nexus on Ubuntu...

Anyone had experience rooting on Ubuntu?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RandomKing:
I'm glad you like it. You know why it has all of those features? Because I wanted them and no rom had all of them, so I read, I learned, and I made it myself. :rolleyes:
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoffman1984:
touché!

Working some issues out with my ROM tonight (For the Epic)... Got myself an EVO 3D, and i gotta tell ya... Not liking sense. lol
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matthenry87:
I'm glad threads like this one are around. I'm going to be flashing a new ROM on my buddy's epic tonight and wasn't sure what the best one to use was. Sounds like for stability I should stick with froyo. If I decide to put CM7 on his phone he will lose 4g and video recording or playback?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sephiroth009:
Well you could use a video player like mx video player from the market but that still won't work with youtube. And no cm7 doesn't have 4g yet either. You should teach your buddy how to do it himself, just in case something happens he can't blame you since it will be on him. And he could do so much more than you could do in one night. If your buddy just wants a stable rom with good battery flash sfr 1.2 with genocide 2.0 kernel and be done with it.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjben:
Indeed, sfr1.2 with the genocide kernel is a solid bet. There's more problems with CM7 than just 4g and video, if you read the threads...

I would never put a GB leak on someone else's phone, unless you want them to get mad at you, and you want to redo their phone a day or two later.

The AOSP 4 rom is good too, and it has the genocide kernel as well.

Personally I think I am going to try thunderhawk next, because I like what randomking had to say about it.

I had my transformer for about 2 weeks and today I decided to sell it because Im completely dissapointed. the browser was choppy, so were the home screen swiping and the battery life was least of all unimpressive.

I did try the stock rom, Revolver 3.6 and Prime 2.0.6 roms, along with different browsers and launchers and it just didn't do it for me me unfortunately :(

I know I'm gonna get quite a bit of heat for this but my 1gen iPad gave me a better browsing and much better battery life than my TF. the only good thing about TF was that I got to do all the crazy fun things (rooting,flashing, tweaking) I do on my Android phone for this two weeks,but its just not good enough.

so there you have it, just wanted to rant a bit, hopefully the new releases of Asus will be better. :)

Shame to hear u giving it up so soon. I've had mine for about just over a week and so far its been nothing short of excellent all around. Exact opposite of all your negatives.

Good luck with your ipad.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] funky_snowman:
ipad1 browsing was always awful for me. checkerboard all over the place, and having to reload sections of a page as you scroll is obnoxious. browsing on these devices is never going to be great till typical web development changes focus.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] moehagene:
I had an iPad 1 before I bought MT transformer. Great product. But the transformer blows away the ipad 1 and 2 in my eyes. So much more your allowed to do. My wife uses the ipad still and ios 5 made the product alot better. But its still no transformer. I am sad to say I am going to sell my transformer and rely on the ipad for a while, or until the new transformer comes out I should say.

I know what you mean, I got fed up with the battery issue and a few other things like no spell checker and really bad lag while typing on some websites/forums, I could go on about printing docs and a few other things but I won't*

*I've put my tf up for sale and bought a lovely netbook which in most ways kicks the tf ass, but do you know what I've started to look at the tf in a different way

*I've managed to solve the battery life problem, it's a bit of a slaver but I sorted it on my tf, now getting really good battery life, I also sometimes use a different browser for different sites, an example would be techradar, the stock browser just can't handle it so I use opera, I know you shouldn't have to use different browsers for different sites but that's just how it is

The tf is not a pc and I've stopped looking at it as such, I now look at it as a multi media device that can browse the internet and send and receive emails and play games, for that it's good

that's what "freedom of speech" means.

on the topic - good luck with whatever tablet you would buy next :) think you're already on the tablet side, not preferring laptop or smartphone over tablet device.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] siscopiso:
almost the same here man, my girlfriend likes the iPad much more than the TF. the iPad works for our purposes, watch movies during long flights or train trips which we do quite often. and more importantly it lies around in the house for casual emailing and recipes n stuff and it needs charging every other week or so!something I couldnt get with the TF. however, coming from an android background Im constantly bored with it (the iPad) coz there s not much you can do with it. (try telling that to some filks who find it obligatory to start barking mad at the first person who says the "i" word :D )
[Eee Pad Transformer General] siscopiso:
ok you're a fool :D nahhhh

yeah I suppose I'm leaning towards Samsung this time. hopefully I wont be starting one o these threads in Samsung dedicated forum anytime soon :p

Can you not even jail break them anymore???

I remember when i got my first gen ipod touch before android even existed and put ubuntu on it among other things that was the device that got me interested in hacking programming etc
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Riley1524:
The battery issues some have is as simple as installing the auto airplane app from the market. With moderate use of my TF, I can get just over a week of battery life. As far as browsing, in my case, opera has worked so well on every website that I've totally stopped using the stock browser. My sister has a Ipad2 and it totally blows compared to the TF for general use, which that is all apple products are good for in my eyes. I can't even imagine what the TF2 will be like.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] siscopiso:
you still can, but there is so much extra, unofficial tweaks you can put on to make it more interesting.

Thats the thing, I didnt want to have to turn things off to get a good battery life. I wanted to get email notifications the minute the email comes not the next time I turn it on.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bormasina:
No iPad's for me!

My usage pattern is completely different then yours. I do not need e-mails to show on my tablet the minute they arrive, i have smartphone for that. I'm mainly using my TF for reading newspapers and books (my books are mostly in PDF; power engineering stuff ...), lite web browsing, and lite document editing. Battery life is very important to me, but ability to get my books and documents (engineering articles, work stuff ...) over wireless through network shares is very important to me as well. So, iOS stuff is not working for me because requires iTunes on the PC that hosts your stuff. In iOS4 was even worse because of USB connection. I do not know how iCloud could help with transferring files, and honestly i do not care. The price point is another thing (300$ vs 500$) and the inclusion of IPS (1280x800) panel convinced me to pull the trigger.

There you have it, just so you know that there is different breed off people that are appreciating the TF (because of different usage pattern). :eek::D

The default browser does blow big time but install Opera which is 1000 times better.

Yes, I would agree the battery life could be a little better but not a big issue for me. I like having the freedom to modify/customize my device.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] mace242:
i don't get it... tf is great.

I don't see any of the issues people say about. The stock browser is fine. I'm entering this in it and see no lag whatsoever. Ok, so when scrolling pages at totally fast unusable speeds i see it mispaint a little. So what. I can't really see what the issue is. The plastic back is what it is. So what. I have an ipad too and browsing is the same and typing far worse. My partner is a trained typist an prefers typing on screen on the tf. She hates the ipad for typing as it constantly misses letters. I really wonder what people are expecting....
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sk_koh:
hi

I also own ipad2 n Samsung 10.1 and I have Tf as if I rate I thing the Tf is what I like most to use. Ipad2 is too boring n always need I tune. Samsung 10.1 is super lag but n no microsd card both hardware r great. But I still like to use tf compare with ipad2 n Samsung 10.1 cause when I travel oversea I bring previous with ipad2 I have to convert my movies then sync with iTunes and I can't keep alot of movies on my ipad2 cause I have more than 5gb of song and near 6gb of doc so I have to download some of my file n make space to my movies when travel cause I only have ipad2 16gb n this is very troublesome. For Samsung 10.1 they have a adapter for external device but I never think to use cause I look like very easy to break when plug-in. For tf I have 32 gb microsd for my work and song a 32 gb for my movies then a 16gb for myebook n u can see is so convenience when I travel oversea. I don't have to sync the movie when every I download a new movies straight away I can unplug SD card from my tf then copy n plugin again. So easy job.

This what I currently use my tf cause I don't mind a little bit tick n weight compare to those 2 . If Asus can't make more quality on the hard then is perfect. Now I m very happy with my tf still looking to purchase a 64gb SD card that some said it can work on tf with news filesystem.

Tks

Battery drain

ok I disconnected the TF from the dock at 98% battery level yesterday around 6pm, used it mildly (emails and youtube) till 11pm and went to bed, today I checked it again at 11:30 am and its down to 24%!! :(

from those of you who say you get good battery life, is there anyone who actually keeps their wifi ON and not put it into air plane mode? if yes can you post your battery use info plz? mine says 50% WIFI in 14 hour use.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] siscopiso:
I tried every browser out there and each one has an issue, Opera loads fast but while scrolling it loads pictures as colour tiles. Dolphin HD is smooth but has to reload everything everytime you zoom in and out or scroll up and down!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] funky_snowman:
mine only started doing that after one of the recent updates. battery life is stellar with auto airplane mode though. i still want them to fix it, but its a minor thing. i have my phone if i need immediate notifications.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] DilloDroid:
The browser plain sucks Dolphin has gotten worse and opera isn't that impressive and the way it handles different windows does suck.

It amazes me that someone can't get a browser that works like one should ...including typing

my droid does better

I was on my wifes IPad yesterday and I can't say much better,,,cant copy and paste cant save a pdf to file...cant really download anything which kills that for me.

I am still hoping for a more windows type browser experience with ICS but not holding my breath

on the other hand we do have here to come ***** about it ;) maybe one of thse days google or someone will take notice and build a better browser ...I'd buy it!
