[XPERIA X10 General] shingers5:
mine is in the post and i am very excited........nexus who? mine has been sent back as it was too unstable. i dont believe all the hype on any phone so i get them use them and make up ma own mind. i know the x10 is on donut but 1.6 is a very solid build and from experience newer doesnt always mean better!!!!!!. what sony have done with this donut build is in my opinion very very nice. the mediascape thing works very well but is obviously a bit slow when syncing but most are. once all info sync is rather fluid again. i think its unfair to have a go at sony for any slowups in this UI. the phone is rather swish but i do not like the glossy glass screen as it smudges rather quickly and will scratch easily. the phone is very nice looking and slick and i had an extensive play with the demo on display. i will be very happy with this phone and will be an active participant in this forum. i am sure people will harp on about 2.1 on the x10 but i dont see why? at the rate android is growing i for one would expect sony to wait for a newer build to upgrade the x10 too. i also had the moto milestone which was just a horrible phone to use with 2.1 on it. as with milestone i did not buy into hype and quickly got rid. sony has been ridiculed for the delays with this device but i understand their reasoning as they wanted to get it right! its not quite a 100% but the 1ghz snapdragon performs rather well even better than on N1. i still am not sold on the 1ghz thingy as i have a tp2 which blows N1 away in speed! sony quite clearly shot themselves in the foot with this UIQ crap and phones like p990 and p1. the p910i was even better than the latter offerings. this phone will get sony some cred back and the addition of the mini version with or without keyboard they are appealing to the masses!

I've just received mine yesterday and I'm loving it! :)

Has anyone had issues with linking their phone contacts with Facebook? I was able to link my contacts to Facebook, but X10 wasn’t saving their Facebook profile pictures to the phone contacts. So now I’m still seeing the blue dummy pictures for each of my linked phone contacts. Any pointers?

UK T-mobile sent me a text said that my phone will be arrive on saturday which is yesterday by it didn't arrive:(

anyone know which delivery carrier t-mobile using or they use royal mail.
[XPERIA X10 General] waleed786:
No. Only the X10i has those bands. There are 3 versions, X10, X10i, and X10a. X10a is not released yet.
[XPERIA X10 General] ukon:
What is the main differences between the different versions?

I guess that the a is for America or something like that.

am I right?

Then the I stands for International?:S

Just ordered my unlocked black x10 should be here in a week.
[XPERIA X10 General] HoOnZ:
Good luck with it! I love my X10. :)
[XPERIA X10 General] shingers5:
mine should be here tomorrow and yep i am excited. easter has meant that i had to wait a few days more for phone. oh well just hightens the excitement............. i have all the new and latest winmo and android handsets and have high hopes for this. as with the x1 the sony ericsson stamp always seems to mean you get that little bit extra. mediascape and timescape is that added extra. i will be an avid follower and poster in this forum and madoca for this phone! i will be doing comparisons with this x10, my iphone 3gs and htc hd2. HD2 has no chance as winmo is not very good at all no matter what variant you use.......... the multimedia capabilities of most android devices is not brillaint right now so iphone has the edge! i will however be making this x10 my main phone.........battery will obviously be a gripe but it is like that across platforms.

For those Canadians interested in the X10, Rogers has just put up their pre-order page for new customers: $149.99 with a new 3-yr contract, and that includes a pre-order promo for a free MW600 headset. Also looks like both colours will be available.

Rogers - HURRY! Offer Expires April 14th, 2010

For existing Rogers customers and those looking at getting one without contract (AT&T customers I'm looking at you), looks like we'll have to wait until the X10 hits Rogers Plus stores on April 15th to get our grubby mitts on an X10. Good news is that we'll also qualify for a free MW600 headset if we buy before April 30th.

Can someone tell me what the volume and music quality is like through headphones as this will be the deciding factor for me
[XPERIA X10 General] kmoon:
Interesting post...

I have a Hero now and is going to get either HTC Desire or X10 (unfortunately N1 is not an option)

How is the X10 compared to N1? Not the tech specs, but your personal feeling about those two handsets...
[XPERIA X10 General] shingers5:
well i had a N1 and now rec'd my x10. build quality on the x10 for me is very disappointing i must say. i hate that plasticy feel that phone has and feels too light in the hand. i may drop this thing a few times i think. N1 has better build quality and feel to it. my screen is already filthy from fingerprints and whatever else seems to come into contact with it.......its grubby my word! mediascape and timescape do what they say and on wifi sync is rather quick. i always moan at the lack of video playback options on android and this is no exception. no avi, divx, xvid out the box which is annoying as hate all this video converting nonsense. these phones are top end and should offer stuff that most mid range samsungs offer as standard! i love what sony have done with skinning donut 1.6 build and it looks pretty cool. i see why people will be screaming out for 2.1 on this as it would really enhance this device and bring out its true potential. the x10 does look great with the black and titanium trim. to look at its great but to pick up and use..........jury still out! its very quick navigating through menus and apps. still can't see FB pictures linked to contacts! thats rather odd seeing that i linked them. not good. i will keep using and reporting back. i like the 1500 ma battery as this phone will need it. i retract my earlier statement as after having this phone now in my hands the N1 seems a better option! N1 has 2.1, better feel and build quality......... i guess i expected too much but i will keep the phone as future software updates will bring out the beast in this phone
[XPERIA X10 General] hampan:
I for one like that it's much lighter than the N1, especially when carrying it in my jacket. The build quality is not bad in my opinion but it's made of plastic as so many other phones and hence will feel as it. (The black version less so than the white one, due to having a nice soft touch back).

The one thing I love about the X10 is the stability of the radio in comparison to my N1, never got the "hanging arrows problem on this one", feels very solid and is now my main phone.

Dropping the phone is harder as it lies better in hand and is not top heavy as my N1 (which I have already dropped on several occasions).
[XPERIA X10 General] DarkVasyaK:
which one do you like better to use, using only one hand?
[XPERIA X10 General] jackstuard:
one hand, x10 has the advantage (in this case) to not have the multitouch, you touch and slide up and down
[XPERIA X10 General] DarkVasyaK:
well, multitouch is not a problem)

I mean, physical size of the screen and just using phone, sms etc
[XPERIA X10 General] shingers5:
well love my x10 is growing and please remember i am posting my opinions and not starting some flaming convo

keyb is not very good and there seems to be an issue with registering A & P button presses. that was also identified in pre released model and also in this one. some key presses just dont register period and it seems the P and A are biggest culprit! the web browser is very good and also launching a link from twitter or FB is instant! the email client for other providers is also quite good as i got an email yesterday with 12 pics attached. when viewed on phone not only were the images auto downloaded as thumbnailed preview but there was an option to open or save right from the email! nice!!!! no click to download attaches etc etc .......... right there how it should be. battery life as suspected is an issue but no more so than most phones as previously charge most every night. timescape so far works rather well and no heavy lags yet to report........... actually no lags yet! mediascape also looks good but lack of codecs limit the true potential of this. this device could have used some avi, divx or xvid etc out the door. there is no coreplayer for android as yet and skyfire is still beta. yxflash app is rubbish so i cant wait for a player that supports all the popular codecs used in movies. :cool:
[XPERIA X10 General] jingo_man:
shingers - another area i have shown concern about is the lack of codecs and containers supported for media playback.

is it possible to achieve with "rooting" the device? (which i am guessing is just a mechanism to gain root level access to the device, so you can do as you please? from the iPhone world, and as such see its as comparable to jailbreaking)

are there android projects for mplayer, vlc or ffmpeg?
[XPERIA X10 General] Vin87:
Try this keyboard:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=654179

It's way better than the stock SE one. No more missing keys for me ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] shingers5:
not that i am aware off. the media playback codec issue is platform wise. custom roms could solve the problem but we need a native player TBH. winmo has corecodec player which also works with symbian. it be great to see that on android. yxflash is decent app on iphone but sucks on android. it does play avi, xvid, divx etc but the viewer is useless. i am hoping that furure android releases with address this issue.............skyfire alpha for android is currently with beta testers and that when released will be a winner.

@VIN ............. thanks for the tip i will install now

ps: went for the black with green background with vibz. nice
[XPERIA X10 General] shingers5:
i must admit that videos/mp4s that do work look amazing on this thing! yes its a joy to watch youtube videos widescreen and mp4s that so work. this phone has the potential to be awesome with the right software upgrades and apps!
[XPERIA X10 General] saltorio:
I've also heard good things about using the HTC keyboard:

I used Handbrake to re-encode a 720p episode that's about an hour long to 854*480. It looks insanely good and Mediascape has no problem playing it. :) Edit: To Mp4 that is.

Yeah, I remember that few months ago I saw in some android site that Xperia X10 will be overpriced to 1000 US$ hahahahha
[Desire General] Arthur Hucksake:
Hi folks,

I thought this phone had like 500MB odd for apps storage?

I've just checked my space left on internal memory and its like 18MB.... thought this is strange.

Installed Linda File Manager, under Applications it says 133M / 147M - 90%

A big WTF???? What is going on here????

This is what I expected with my Hero, but the Desire? Something has to be wrong.
[Desire General] irkan:
Where do you think Android OS resides? :) it takes most of the space.

the allowable rom for apps is a little above 100MB
[Desire General] Arthur Hucksake:
Arf!!! Thought it would be more than that. Sheesh!!!

I have 150MB spare on my Hero.
[Desire General] Karolis:
I don't see a problem here. When I was still on G1, I had 256 MB partition for APPS2SD and I never went over 100 MB.

Of course, that depends on everyone's personal use case.
[Desire General] farnsbarns:
I believe this is wrong although I've had very busy weekend and had no time to look into it.

I think android OS in the 512MB ROM. I think the reason the RAM is nearly full from the word go is that it is full of Sence UI and the apps that HTC has installed. Most of these can't be uninstalled, yet.
[Desire General] Karolis:
I'm confused: are we talking about ROM - where Android OS, Sense UI, apps, etc are stored, or RAM - "working" memory?

I also have ~100+ MB of RAM left and I totally forgot that total amount is over 500 MB.

But then coming back to G1, it had 192 MB of RAM and I never had more than 30 free.
[Desire General] Arthur Hucksake:
So basically the Rom, Sense UI, and all the HTC apps / widgets take up 350MB?

Wtf!! Way to go HTC, tout 512MB rom and then leave you with 150MB.

Can't wait to root this phone now.
[Desire General] planter88:
Let's hope Android 2.2 or 3.0 supports Apps on SD and HTC will port it.

~100Mb Free Space only with preinstalled HTC Apps and Android is not very much :(
[Desire General] cez10:
seems like i dont understand something

is it not possible to install the apps onto a memory card?! does rooting allow to do that?
[Desire General] farnsbarns:
No you have definitely misunderstood.

The ROM is 512MB

The RAM is 576MB

Android is in the ROM You don't have access to the ROM through any file explorer (may be possible once rooted). It wont be long before the device is rooted (hopefully) and then custom ROMs can be used and it may even be possible to reduce the size of the ROM and increase the size of the RAM.

Sence UI and apps (HTC or otherwise) are in the RAM. Once we have root acccess it should be fairly easy to place apps on the SD card by using symbolic links to fool the OS into believing that an EXT2 partition on the SD card is the app storage on the phone ram. This is all still to come but I still have a 1.5GB EXT2 partition on my SD card from when it was in my G1 which I will use for this purpose once root has been achieved (you will probably need to create one, I'm not going into detail about how to do this until the device has been rooted)
[Desire General] farnsbarns:
In theory, once rooted, YES! (you posted while I was typing!)
[Desire General] Arthur Hucksake:
Right, now I get you.

It all becomes clear. lol

I used AP2SD on my Hero, but from what I have heard I fear we won't be able to root the Desire at all.
[Desire General] farnsbarns:
What have you heard to suggest rooting is impossible?
[Desire General] barakoas:
Ok .. i was about to preorder Desire for myself.. but this thing holds me back a lil now.. whats the point having alot of apps in the market while u can install about 3-5 apps on your phone coz of pathetic storage space..? sure once theres a chance to root your device u can get rid of this thing.. but what about ppl which wont root their device.. as im still not sure about root aswell.. :confused:

PS: i always had just WinMo devices.. and im sick of it already.. especially after i saw WP7 i hate MS.. so android is the only way for me.. have to learn alot about this OS .. dont have it yet.. but already love it.. :rolleyes:
[Desire General] cez10:
:rolleyes:

whats the point of having a memory card then if you cant install any apps on it :|

can I download the apps onto the card though? and same with music files etc?

how big are the apps in average? 5mb? or more?
[Desire General] planter88:
With over 100Mb Free Space you should be able to install at least 30-50 Apps (or at least 10Games). Most Apps are <1Mbyte. (Biggest Software i know is Copilot takes ~ 10Mbytes)

Don't think that you get serious problems here.
[Desire General] barakoas:
Ok that sounds quite fair.. but still.. well im App/game maniac :D
[Desire General] K 7:
I agree there, you can't save apps on it, you can't install apps on it, so what the heck is benefit of having it in ur phone then, why Google won't give this feature/option 2 install on MemCard?

Or why the heck they don't make phones memory any bigger so that we don't have 2 worry about it.. I mean if they raise built-in memory to 1GB or big it's not gonna bring the price of phone 2 double, I guess it's gonna be only few quids more...
[Desire General] setspeed:
It WILL be rooted, it's just a matter of time. Probably just days in fact, knowing all the talent round here!
[Desire General] barakoas:
well theres an option to wait on Samsung Galaxy S.. which will have 8Gig internal memory and lovely hardware specs.. but meh its samsung which have crappy UI and support.. grr there always must be some BUT... :mad:
[Desire General] gettingtired:
Now I think it is YOU who have misunderstood. The Andorid OS and Sense and all the installed apps are in the ROM. You have access to the ROM with file managers, although there are different partitions where the system partition isn't accessible for changes unless you have rooted your phone. The RAM is only the working memory and just like the RAM in your regular computer it loses everything it has stored when there is no power. If your apps were saved in the RAM that would be very inconvenient when your battery dies and you have to reinstall everything.
[Desire General] shawon007:
Q

Where are apps currently saved on the desire? the ROM or RAM? :

1) the 512MB ROM is READ ONLY MEMORY is it not?

2) If apps are saved on the RAM, then turning the phone off will get rid of it?

Either way, how are large apps such as CoPilot saved if the max. size of either rom / ram is 576 mb?
[Desire General] cez10:
nah htc ftw ;)

what about text messages and mms and music etc? does it allow you to save those on the memory card?
[Desire General] irkan:
guys! wth!

the whole OS (Android) and its applications (like Sense UI) and user applications (like the application you want to install or already installed) are in the ROM (Read Only Memory), 512MB!!!!

when you lunch an app it creates processes and those will be in the RAM (Random Access Memory). its job is to keep the running apps/processes alive and running and pass it to the CPU when needed.

the apps CANNOT be installed on the RAM, thats just stupid, as the RAM forgets everything when the power is off.

and Android allowed for the user to install in a a limited memory out of the 512MB ROM, which is 100+ MB (not sure of the exact number). the other space is reserved for the OS and system files!!!
[Desire General] Eddiemc:
To make it easy:

Ram is memory, having lots of it on your device keeps everything running smooth, no lag etc.

Rom is internal storage space. Here recides your os, apps etc.

Most "large" apps will store their majority of space on the memory card. Cache, maps, etc.

Basically on the desire you have 512 megs of storage for os and apps. Since the htc sence is kinda bloated, you'll have a few houndred megs worth of space left for apps. Most apps are a few houndre k up to a few megs. You'll get around 100 apps, give or take about half;)

For games this storage issue absolutely sucks, unless the devs can do the same thing as the satnav software, meaning store levelmaps, cutscenes etc on memcard...

Time will show.

-e
[Desire General] EroThraX:
How the hell did you manage to install enough apps to use that much space already??

I've been installing since I got it on Saturday and still have over 100MB space left.
[Desire General] shawon007:
So basically, ROM isn't relaly ROM is it? It's not "read-only"..
[Desire General] irkan:
ROM is persistent memory

RAM is NOT persistent memory

OS and Apps are stored in ROM (Read-Only Memory, dont over analyze the name :) )
[Desire General] Arthur Hucksake:
Tell me about it, im equally baffled.

Before I installed anything, you only get 150MB which is seriously poor.

I've got some games, and other stuff like Movies, Twicca, Listen, NewsRoom, Goggles etc but nothing major.

It must be the games taking up the space, clearing browser cache and what not hasn't helped at all.
[Desire General] StuMcBill:
I thought that most large Apps installed the "exe" (for want of a better term) onto the internal memory and the larger data was stored on the SD card, therefore allowing you to install loads of apps?

Also RAM = Random Access Memory which is lost when your device is powered off.

ROM = Read Only Memory, which is unable to be written to by the general user.

The above terms are in general computer talk, and may not apply to Android, I am not 100% sure.
[Desire General] irkan:
Movies, Music, Pics, ... etc can be loaded in the SD Card, they dont have to be in the main memory, ... only executables (apps) should be installed in the ROM (there are ways that require rooting which allows you to install on the SD Card) but by default you cannot.

just like your Computer, can you install a program using windows on an external flash disk ?? no you can only install it in your built in drive (you can remove your built in drive i know but you got the point)

i hope not too long =)

[Desire General] cez10:
i hope they do it before my future desire runs out of space :D
[Desire General] farnsbarns:
Well obviously I know what Rom and RAM stand for but I can'thelp it if the wrong expressions are used. How come every app I install uses up a bit more RAM. Even if I reboot the phone and don't open the app. Also, how come the amount of RAM used is exactly the size of the app I downloaded.

Hi! there, I am using Acer F1. I usually use SPB mobile shell 3.5 as a UI on my device. Today I flash a Sense Leo rom for my device. the HTC Sense is very beautiful. however, I have a question, how to put system shortcut link such as bluetooth.exe(not bluetooth toggle), device lock, power etc....in HTC Sense quicklink ?

In SPB mobile shell, It is easy to do that, you just add widget and then link to it, easy! however, In htc sense, you only can add program short cut!
[General Questions and Answers] doug107hk:
You may use Total Comander for CE to make a short cut
