a simple fact

some may already know this :p

all over the different tech news, one thing repeats itself, android is taking over market shares, symbian and blackberry is dying after android came along, and ios is loosing the market slowly :cool: :D

EDIT: heres one proof. "Android now has 52.5% of the global smartphone market. No matter how you want to slice it, that's amazing. It's stealing share from every other smartphone operating system other than iOS, which is basically flat."

no way. no overclocking on iphone, no fun with trying different roms. No	cyanogen. no support from doom, z, j, achotjan, wolf etc.etc, too few free aps, and wtf u need to jailbreak even to install apps? kidding me?
[XPERIA X10 General] bloodsuckingcomputer:
Glad that you are happy with it,but you could never compare x10 to Ip4s,x10 is just a little too old.

And yet,still the x10 is not all that bad,few of the feature that comes with it 2 years back just make me feel like apple is selling yesterday technology at a hell of a price.

Hardware wise;

4 inch screen-I will laugh out loud if Ip5 to get this by this year,for I have been using it for years

8mp camera-long before the Ip4s(8.1 to be exact)

mass storage-never seen yet

removable battery-never seen yet

removable memory-never seen yet

Software wise;

Pull down notification-it is originated from nokia,but one must be retarded to believe that Ip4s is actually copying nokia....really!

Widgets-we all know how handy this is.

Power control notification-one of the feature that I love most about my phone now.

And a lot more.....

and on the other parts that might make the Ip4s look and feels better than the x10,well,it should because it costs you a lot more than the x10(like 5 to 10 times more depends on where you lived).

And don't get me wrong,Ip4s is still one of the best out there(and surely not the best!),but in my opinion,it's just not worth the money.(Plus,walled garden...not for me at least)

[XPERIA X10 General] hiddenfr:
Well,i have a plan to change my X10 into a iPhone (or other device running on Android :p)

The first thing i think is the iPhone price in Indonesia are realy expensive IDR.8.000.000 ($ 877)

and then about Jailbreaking or similiar things,it's seems very complicated to me who never use iDevices before,honestly i can't resist the smoothnes of iPhone and i'm curious about Siri.

So if someone give me an iPhone 4S,i will test it for 6 month or 1 year,then i sold it for SGS II or Xperia Arc S :D

[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
Any phone can look like I-OS.

But no phone can be Android.

Android isn't some vanilla OS.

Everyone gets something different. ;)

I usually recommend I-OS if the user is lacking in... zaz.

i will admit noob phones need to be labeled.

If however you are going to hack it to pieces "thumbs up... but are you sure you don't want something more.... zazzy?"

Open source is the future.

I remember playing with it in beta.. seems to be getting pretty damn awesome.
[XPERIA X10 General] rkanwar:
I dont get the big hoohaa of Siri...android had these apps before apple anyway. And well though i like the hardware of the phone and the os to a certain extent i dont agree with apple or its ethics and morals. And the 4s cannot be jailbroken just yet. The only thing is for some reason devs are quick enough to make apps for iphone but not android. Tvcatchup is something i would like along with the offical tomtom. Year after year the same response is heard. 'were working on it but cant give time to when it will be released'
[XPERIA X10 General] championswimmer:
guess that's because all top corporate honchos and celebrities use apple products, so apps apps come to itunes store.
[XPERIA X10 General] rkanwar:
True but then at the same time these corporate companies have to look on the broader scale. Ok yes theyre not directly in the smartphone market but they still need to sort themselves out. Plus what i seen with the iphone 4s is that it crashes more than my arc s. I played nfs shift on iphone for about half an hour. Crashed twice. Played the same game on the arc s and well few lags and crashed once
[XPERIA X10 General] Jedidiah55:
the ios is slow, and has lots of bugs, would freeze alot etc.

my 3g had problems exitting apps and also the iphone screens crap out along with all the buttons on them
[XPERIA X10 General] huzi7868:
thats because iphone 3g was crap 128mb ram i had 3gs it was smooth jailbreak it and installed speed intensecifier speeded. up my phone lol

i had an x10, just recently upgrade to arc

i had own an ipod onces..itunes is really killing me,hated it. the sound quality over earphone is not so nice,iphone here in my country are so damn expensive,and the specs isn't impressive at all.there are more free apps with android, and unlock sim,lets me pick up a telco that offer unlimited internet,100minutes of free call for RM28, that less than $10.the cheapest iphone plan are RM98, and that just for data.

maybe it just me but iphone design are damn ugly.don't know why sammy wanna copy something so ugly.arc,x10,razr are damn sexy,it make me drool from the time it cames out till i actually own one.

usability wise screen to small,no flash,expendable memories and removable batteries which really a big deal for me.and ios have a nasty habits of u cannot do this and that.which is really annoying..lag is a problem because currently use x10 and arc.a single core,slow processors with low ram.but it a fair trade in exchange to the power it gave..as long as it didn't get hang and the blue screen of death like windows,i am perfectly happy..

i guess iphone is good if u are looking just for a phone..as i need a full blown alternative than carrying around my gps,walkman,laptop.my psp,my thumb drive,camera and so on wherever i go.

but mostly i just hate itunes.so i use android.

I also had a X10 and Arc S, and I wouldn't call either laggy. X10, yes, with stock, but i user wolfbreak's roms and doomlord's kernels and got rid of lag. Arc S is working fine with stock kernel and Great with DooMKernel.

I don't mind the iThing design but i hate all the restrictions
[XPERIA X10 General] sahibunlimited:
Today i was in apple store playing real racing 2 in ipad 2 and then the shop owner came and was telling me the specs i told him that i m a android fan

Then he said "u will grow up one day and use iOS" and i said "people will grow up one day"

Then he said "why don't you like iOS" and i said "that's because its so much locked down and closed source" but then he said "what if u make a app and people pirate it?" but i said "its not about apps its about openness and custom kernels and custom roms and ics ports and all"

But he said that "apple also provides the beta versions of their iOS" and i said "they are from apple and very different and android ports are user made"

and i told about overclock and custom themes,etc

but then he says that "its like a eco system and doing custom stuff causes instability and that's the reason including piracy apple locks their devices"

Than i said aah leave it,he is a true apple fan,so meaning of arguing from him:D

@sahib

he was right about piracy though.

many developers incur losses due to piracy.

on an ios, if u hav not jailbroken, u cannot use pirated app. so automatically piracy is less and developers earn more.

rest other things he said....pure bul****. lol
[XPERIA X10 General] sahibunlimited:
Nope

I saw almost all iDevices owners jailbroken and they have many apps for piracy in cydia store to download full games in one click

So its not different about piracy

Who want to do it they do it and those who don't do it they don't do it on both iOS and android
[XPERIA X10 General] Hanzo.Hasashi:
Those who are not willing to pay and are into piracy, jailbreak their phones.. So it's the same thing as if you have an android and use cracked software.. Piracy on iOS is even bigger I think.. Cause once you have your phone broken you can download everything without having to think twice.. On android you have to search first for a cracked version..if you can't find one than you must buy the app..

And let's be serious, even maria with the damaged leg, phil, little moe and other posh chicks have at least one nerdy friend who has helped them with the jailbreak ;-)

But that game is amazing. Asphalt and others for android don't even come close. I have been playing it since i got my iPad 2.Also the only thing i like about iOS is games. There are tons of great games there for iOS but very few for android. Maybe it will change in near future.

I do have one after xperia x1, x10 and Arc, but i will have an xperia S in march too.

Like dreamboard from iphone to create non iphone themes, and i use it for business because it is stable, as i play with roms on android i happened to have random reboots which is not appreciated by my customers. This is what my iphone looks like now

Not bad for an iphone huh? ;-) if you like minimalistic..... i agree, but i like those kind of simple homescreens. Everything accessable within seconds.

Nevertheless the new Sony Xperia S is too sexy to let it pass.... So after a while of inactivity I will be back on XDA (yeahhh)

[XPERIA X10 General] BingoRingo:
I've been a mac user since the late 1980s so of course I considered the iPhone, but my wife got one at her job and as soon as I noticed that, just like the iPod, EVERYTHING has to go through iTunes, I said no way. My iPod is from 2002 so I totally understand that it has to go through iTunes, but my wife's "new" iPod from 2010 still has to use iTunes for everything, and it's a real pain, plus you're stuck with the video format Apple wants.

Android was and is still the perfect solution for me. Still have a mac at home, but the netbook is Ubuntu and the phone is Android. Let's not talk about my job's Win XP/Blackberry combo...!
[XPERIA X10 General] zeki67:
Well, Xperia x10 is full of problems. Roms are not stable, and not much help from Sony, so I dont know If I want iphone but definitely, I will think twice before purchasing another Sony.
[XPERIA X10 General] THeLogiC:
are u sure they are not stable?

they are really quite stable.

Yes i would, although am an android guy, am planning on iOS for next contract just purely for change of phone, androids are brill but i love the iOS look and function, and the phone style its just so nice, adding to that they have a better security setup due to device kill dates, every iOS expires android doesnt which risks lower levels against new threat

[XPERIA X10 General] Jamolah:
I think I'll stay with Android until I die or however long Google keeps the OS alive).

PROS for Android:

1. More Cusotmizable / feels more open (eventhough I haven't added an 3rd party ROM). I like to know the option is there.

2. Bigger screens (4"+)

3. Turn-by-Turn Navigation ( I don't need a GPS unit anymore)

4. Selection of phones

5. Being able to download music directly to my phone (I haven't downloaded a song on my computer since I've had my X10, over a year and half now)

6. Flash support (I know, i know HTML5 will change all that, but that will take a long time to happen).

7.I like the fact Android is getting put into everything from phones, to tablets, to car stereos, to home appliances, etc... means a lot more compability in the future.

PROS for iPhone:

1. Great touch Screen (or maybe because the X10 has such a crappy/touchy touch screen i feel the iPhone is better in this area).

2. Apps work better. I don't have any real experience with this, but I'm assuming because it's only 1 device, applications are more stable in the iOS ecosystem. Anybody with more experience please chime in.

3. Marketing (not really an iPhone thing but more of an Apple thing). You have to applaud apple's marketing strategy. Take for example their app commercials (there’s an app for that). Pure genius to use the apps as the selling feature instead of just the phone. Same goes for their iPad. I wish Google would take the lead on this front and come up with great commercials that inspire people to want an Android phone. They have started a little with the Nexus S, but it's still not on par with Apple.
[XPERIA X10 General] MattyOnXperiaX10:
Android = almost Double The Ram

Android = More carriers and better 3G and 4G speeds

Android = More customisable features

Apple = No variety of handsets

Apple = Depressing

[XPERIA X10 General] PollPixx:
Well, i am waiting for the new Sony phone coming out here and than switch back to Android.

Still using the iphone 4 now, it is not as bad as the person above me described.

You can mod quite a lot with cydia when jailbroken. Also Winterboard and especially Dreamboard do have some great themes. dreamboard is my favorite, theme The Grid is working great and looking awesome.

With Cydia there are thousands of tweaks you can change, some useful ones i use as well.

But i think the sony phones look much better qua design. I hope they improved the touch screen though, whatever you think about iphone, the touchscreen is just perfectly responsive. I owned x10 and Arc before i bought the iphone, and the phones weren't that quick as the iphone in this matter.

Looking forward to play with android again though :)

The whole my phone is better than your phone and android vs iOS is getting old.

There are 2 kinds of people out there those that have the iphone and those that bash it lol

I have several iphones, several android handsets. Here in Germany they both work very well.
[XPERIA X10 General] Mister J:
The good and bad things about android is the fragmentation. On one side you have a lot of options and many different carriers. You have low end to high end phones, and there's an android phone out there to fit anyone's needs. The problem is that its hard to keep track of all phones and updates for old phones are hard to push out due to different hardware and cost of the companies. But I am an android supporter even if Google isn't exactly friendly nowadays.

I installed PSX4Droid 3.0.5 on my X10 and configured it. Then I loaded the Digimon World 2003 ROM.

After successfully playing the game for ~40min. I decided to install the 3.0.6 version, but then the game wouldn't load and I started getting WLODs.

I tried going back to the previous version of the app but the problem persisted.

I even went to xRecovery to make a Restore and then installed the app again, but I still get those damn WLODs every time I try to load the ROM -.-

I have this as well, it seems more pronounced when viewed on the phone but when you look at the screengrab on the pc, you can barely notice it.

Also i tried taking a picture of what was in the viewfinder and the picture comes out as pure black, with no fading band. I'm assuming this is a software issue rather than a faulty camera or bad camera placement.

Have you noticed when you take a picture in low light and then click on the thumbnail on the right and start moving the screen around the edges of the photo go all weird ?

Hey

I recently rooted my HTC Desire (CDMA) and flashed Clockworkmod and Cyanogenmod. I think I did all of the rooting correctly, things seem to be working pretty well so far. Unfortunately my phone is really low on internal storage so I'm looking for some advice on anything I may have missed to free up some space.

I have moved most of my apps to the SD card and I only have my most often used apps (and widgets) left and I'm wondering if I can move these to the SD card? The only apps I have left are:

Go SMS Pro

SwiftKey X

GO Launcher EX

Juice Defender

Make Your Clock Widget

Minimalistic Text

Simple Calendar Widget

gTabSiMiClock

Additionally, there are some files in /system/app that I feel like I should be able to delete safely. am I correct?

ADWLauncher.apk (I have Go Launcher EX installed)

Androidian.apk

CMWallpapers.apk

Cyanbread.apk

Email.apk

Filemanager.apk

Gallery3D.apk

LiveWallpapers.apk

LiveWallpapersPicker.apk

MagicSmokeWallpapers.apk

Protips.apk

ThemeChooser.apk

ThemeManager.apk

I also have these files which I believe are part of the keyboard and I'm wondering if I can remove them since I use Swiftkey X:

ThemeChooser.apk

ThemeManager.apk

Thanks for any help and if there are any other space-wasting files I can dump please let me know.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EvertorN:
If you use cyanogenmod, you can flash the cm7r2 hboot to get more internal memory for your apps, then you dont have to delete any of your apps :). Check http://alpharev.nl/
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
Before recommending something that only can be used if one has specific hardware, ask for this!

@OP:

Can you please post the information from your hboot? You can boot their when you turn off the phone, and first press and hold first volume down and then the power button. The imporant information is in the topleft corner.

Probably it's possible for you to go S-OFF and flash another hboot.

Alternative you should check for darktremor's A2SD-script. To use this, you have to re-partition your SD card with a FAT32 partition and an EXT4-partition. How you do this? Check the noob-guide here on XDA.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l2u2k2e:
hopefully this is the relevant info

BRAVOC DVT2 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-0.98.0000
MICROP-051e
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-2.05.10.08.11

I don't entirely understand the hboot. From my understanding it is comparable to the BIOS on a normal computer. I assumed it was stored in it's own memory area, but if it is just stored in the phone's normal internal storage then it would be great to install a lighter version.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stankyou:
I always remove the apps you listed and more except for email.apk and gallery3d.apk and I believe that those are safe to delete if you want to free more space on the system partition.
