yes thats mr1. seems that the slideview is more responisive and reliable than it was before. but since i never use it then its of no use to me.lol.

the problems i had with spb are because it trys to replace the standard wm6.5 panel. looks like i have to stick with the regular spb panel that comes with the X2. its not as good as the retail spb 3.5.3 but the only way i can keep the phone usuable.

theres definate lag when using the hardware keyboard, but no lag when using the software keyboard. if i keep the software keyboard on screen while using the hardware keyboard then theres no lag. very strange!

looks like theyve half fixed the notification problem, it does vibrate or make a sound when receiving an sms text while in standby but it only flashes once then stops.

sktools has a benchmark tool, i ran it on the X2 and the integer benchmark comes out at "250" the same benchmark on the X1 is "320" ! so still a way to go yet to improve performance.
[XPERIA X2 General] alesmatusek:
Yes, this is MR1, but now I see difference between my and yours X2. My xperia has Czech ROM. So if you has English X2 I believe, that Eng MR1 is out now.

So lets wait everybody! Hurrah!
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
He has Singapore ROM I believe.
[XPERIA X2 General] d_a_n_payne:
So the update was pretty nice at first but now I see that it barely has 100mb at start when before I had well over 120mb...Whats the deal? And how do I even work the video calling? I cant seem to find anything other than just the settings for it...I have never used video calling before but id like to try it out...
[XPERIA X2 General] Bouvard:
Singapore ROM :o) Where did I take it? I don´t remember my previous version of SW, but there was a czech location. I´m from Czech rep. and I buy X2 here (it is not reason of CZ ROM only possibility I know).
[XPERIA X2 General] royalbloodvi:
K, after installing the new MR1 update, I'm going to share my news.

Good:

I find the general functions and responsiveness of the whole WM 6.5 to be much more snappier & quicker.

X2 dialer is at least 2x times more responsive.

Auto-lock feature like iphones.

QuickGPS for easy GPS.

Radio & Video calling - Though its useless to me.

Bad:

Tilewave panel graphic transitions are really choppy, and laggy, BUT at same time responsive.

If using basic today menu, when waking up device, it blanks out. Only way to get today menu back, is to slide keyboard out and in.

Keyboard is a bit slower.
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
Ok that looks sensible.

But what do you mean by autolock as iPhone??
[XPERIA X2 General] andoy:
Slowness of the keyboard is what bugs me the most as I've gotten used to typing really fast on this thing. What I noticed is that the slow response only happens when composing a text message. Typing on notes or word is still the same as before (fast). I'm guessing that this is caused by the 'my words' option in the keyboard setting. When you send a text message that has a word that is not in the phone's dictionary, it automatically adds the word. So the phone checks every word you type and it adds it one by one.

I've been looking for ways to disable the auto add option to 'my words' but couldn't find any =(.
[XPERIA X2 General] andoy:
Will there ever be a separate forum specially for X2 since 2 updates (dialer fix late feb and the MR1 early april) have already been released?
[XPERIA X2 General] Gauner Rasekov:
To the x2 owners that already have updated:

Should I update now or wait for another update or custom rom?

Right now mi x2 has some problems but I can live with them, reading this thread some people are having problems worse than mine and I kind of fear making things worse with the update.

And while I'm at it, are there custom roms out for the x2 yet? where can I find them?

Thanks
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
Can't you just disable dictionary??
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
I would also love to know!!!!

There are other forums added, but no X2!

I'm sure there would be many users using it!!
[XPERIA X2 General] Toleot:
Yeah.. i hope there will be one for X2. I love to try custom rom. And I love my X2.:D
[XPERIA X2 General] emuneee:
Instead of posting your request here, contact a mod.
[XPERIA X2 General] mtechfan:
Yes, I think you should update now. This is why I did it.

(1) You get a smoother, faster and better responding device. Except maybe the transitions between panels, but thats not a big deal.

(2) Screen flicker problem has been solved it seems.

(3) Fm Radio added

(4) Video call added

(5) Memory card issue seems to solved

(5) Troublesome installs like TomTom install no problem now.

(6) Finally no more CNN panel, that POS could not even be removed properly in the last OS version.

(7) Auto lock function works.

Things that still need to be fixed.

(1) G Sensor compatibility with other non SE branded software. Fix this ASAP SE, WTH are you waiting for???

(2) Anything else, cant remember just now?

I cant remember if the tilewave panel had a % battery meter before? I don't recall, but it's there now.
[XPERIA X2 General] faraonsvk:
what do you mean " If using basic today menu, when waking up device, it blanks out. Only way to get today menu back, is to slide keyboard out and in. " do you think ordinary today screen ?
[XPERIA X2 General] royalbloodvi:
Search "SMS lag fix", problem solved. Works on all WM devices =)
[XPERIA X2 General] royalbloodvi:
Yeah, the ordinary today screen I'm talking about, I'm not sure if its just me or all MR1 updated phones... but when I put on standby, and turn it back on, screen is black blank.

Unless I slide out, then the screen comes back on.. Other than that everything works fine.
[XPERIA X2 General] gbajzelj:
My X2 has Software version R1AD006 and when i wanna update with SEUS it says I have the latest version of the software. the update is supposedly available on SEUS but i cant update to it. Any help or advice?
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
That means for your country it's not out yet.
[XPERIA X2 General] carlonalls:
Update Service

Utilizing the Update Service software I updated my X2 and I'm sorry but I saw improved screens , more coloration and better functionality along with the performance increase in response.

Strongly recommend it!!
[XPERIA X2 General] anothadave:
bugs me too....but if you have the software keyboard on screen it doesnt lag!! give it a try, you open the X2 and just tap on the software keyboard button and then the hardware keyboard works fine. lol. its not just typing, the whole sms seems to lag, when i try and scroll through messages it takes twice as long as before.

and mine still has the screen flicker occasionally mtechfan...
[XPERIA X2 General] andoy:
Nice! thanks. I thought it was limited to the update since I wasn't encountering it before. Definitely fixed my problem. I'll try to search next time hehe.

I still wanted to disable the 'my words' option if it's possible. It might ake up unwanted space and since I never use the auto correction.

I've also noticed that the battery seems to drain faster now....
[XPERIA X2 General] leoxrd:
fixed the lag. thanks! :D
[XPERIA X2 General] anothadave:
is that the fix where you delete the "count" from the smsthread in the registry??
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
Ok it's out in Poland.

Will upgrade today or tomorrow....
[XPERIA X2 General] bshihada:
I updated my system with MR1 few days ago. While browsing, I noticed that SE updated their website by announcing the availability of the update. I was just carious and started the SE update service, and surprisingly found that SE update said that new update is available for your system. I'm updating now again and see if there are any differences!
[XPERIA X2 General] fadi.b:
any news or the same update?
[XPERIA X2 General] elegalll:
can someone tell me how much it took to install the MR1, not including the firmware download time, of course
[XPERIA X2 General] bshihada:
So far, I have not noticed a single difference. My advice is not to re-update as suggested by SE update service.

My latest (current) software version is R1BA023, R8A, GENERIC_SG. Compare with yours and see if there exists a difference.
[XPERIA X2 General] fadi.b:
Software ID: 1233-7729

Software version: R1BA023

Customization ID: 1234-0918

Customization version: R7A

Language region: GENERIC_EN

Content version: PA2

Radio SW version: 6.5.6026

I think that the same update
[XPERIA X2 General] gbajzelj:
Hi,

I have R1AD006 GENERIC_UK and my SEUS still says that this is my latest software. i did the update today anyway in case if i get the updated software but still its a R1AD006 version:( Is the UK version the last to get the update :O!?
[XPERIA X2 General] alesmatusek:
Finally! Czech MR1 is available now on SEUS Pro. Check SEUS.
[XPERIA X2 General] leoxrd:
that's the one:D
[XPERIA X2 General] mtechfan:
Dammit! My ringtones are resetting to the default one again!!! :mad:

I thought they fixed this in MR1? Anybody else have this problem?
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
Not here.....
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
Finally started the upgrade process...

SE site says upgrade available,

I connected and it says I have the latest version!

I proceeded the download anyway, hope to get the MR1...
[XPERIA X2 General] fadi.b:
Yes, I have this problem and also my phone is not responding in all panels when unlocking or execute an applications like garmin, resco explorer, media in slideview and the other application and you want to reset your phone many times in day

This problem got after installing the new update software
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
************s!!!

So the Coming Soon is gone,

I updated and I got the same R1A firmware!!!

Crap. Assholes!!
[XPERIA X2 General] alesmatusek:
Bad luck... In Czech Rep. we also haven´t MR1 in SEUS. But in SEUS PRO we have... If you have login to SEUS PRO try to update. In SEUS MR1 will be available few das later.
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
I know it will be.

However they could leave this ****ing "Coming Soon" screen

if it's not there yet!!!!
[XPERIA X2 General] alesmatusek:
Yes, this is strange behaviour.
[XPERIA X2 General] hertell:
I'm so f*cking dissaponted in the Sony Ericsson Experia X2. The phone still hangs and crashes. Yes, the update speeded up the phone remarkably, but it brought again new bugs. For example: in some screens i can't use the physical keyboard for entering data; I have to use the softkeyboard!! WTF?? What's the point in having a keyboard, when you can't use it!!

Tomorrow i call our local SE repairshop, and check when i could drop it in.. I really hope that this is a hardware-issue i have with the phone, and that I could get it fixed this way!

I'm seriously waiting for someone to get the hard spl ready for the X2. Ir really would like to get Android into this fine pice of hardware!!! Windows mobile again is a so f*cking HUGE dissapointment, that i NEVER EVER EVER want to have it in my future phone!! ¤#"¤#"%¤# F*cking f*ck! :-(
[XPERIA X2 General] anothadave:
looks like the sony blog has been moved to the new site and updated..

"As promised, the first full software update for the Xperia X2 (in older posts on the Xperiancer blog I’ve called this MR1) is now available. Timing on the update is different for certain markets but many of the software versions are available now and I expect the rest to be available by the end of the week. "

rest of the post here..

[XPERIA X2 General] gbajzelj:
the update for GENERIC UK is available. I dont know abouth other countries but in the afthernoon it wasnt yet available. Im updateing right now and ill also try the MR1 speedup cab file.
[XPERIA X2 General] Avarell_Dalton:
Since I asked erlier in this thread and the question stands unanswered I'll answer it myself for future questions:

There is no way to hard reset Sonyericsson xperia x2 when it doesn't boot up properly. I was in contact with SE support earlier this week. There are no key combinations.
[XPERIA X2 General] andoy:
Has anyone able to increase the volume successfully? Audiopara doesn't help much.

Also, is anyone else encountering the shortened text alert tone? Whenever I get a text message, the alert would sound only a portion of the tone and the succeeding text messages won't alert (sound) anymore. I already tried using mp3 & wav and tried placing the tones in phone memory to no avail.

Anyone has a fix?
[XPERIA X2 General] royalbloodvi:
More updates:

Good: Speaker Volume seems to have been notched up quite a lot

Bad: Battery drains probably 1.5x -2x times faster from my experience.
[XPERIA X2 General] royalbloodvi:
There is actually, its on the instruction manual. Use stylus and put in the hole on the back. Done.
[XPERIA X2 General] royalbloodvi:
The MR1 speed cab? Where is that available to download?

I'm from Australia, I've purchased UK X2, so I used UK SEUS, not sure if this is right though... maybe thats why my tilewave panel is laggy?

Or does everyone agree that tilewave is laggy now, but more responsive/quicker animations?
[XPERIA X2 General] Avarell_Dalton:
A hard reset resets the phone to original factory settings, you loose everything you have installed, every file you've put on the device and every setting you've done.

A soft reset, as far as i know and I have done this numerous times after a software install or when the phone hangs, with the stylus, restarts the phone. No settings have been reset at that operation.

After a quick look in the English and Swedish manual page 80-81 the instructions are badly written and a discussion or opinions regarding this would be appreciated. I mean, this manoeuvres is something Windows Mobile/Phone users has to live with.

A.D
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
AFAIK it is in the menu under "Clear Storage"
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:

[XPERIA X2 General] royalbloodvi:
Ah, now I know what you mean now.

Here's how to do it: Start SEUS program, attach USB cable, remove and reinsert battery. Hold down volume down button + power on button until it goes to the bootloader screen.
[XPERIA X2 General] gunawan-1:
1 bug fixed, come another bug.

I don't know the phone or the screen alway freeze. sometimes slide the keyboard can solve the problem, but sometimes no. So the last and only chance is to turn it off and on again. While searching for network take too long. I appreciate this best stupid phone by Sony Ericsson called Xperia X2. How can a big and profesional company release a phone with so many bugs. it can not suit for a pocket pc even a phone. SE is using us as a fool with an attractive ads but all is just a lie. only one word for SE : Damn. and for Xperia X2 : Best Stupid phone.

Nb: Hey, SE. you better really try the phone first before release to market. or... may be you should ask the experts here before you work about the software.

Thanks
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
Wow,

was anybody able to set the PIN password for the device?!

I can't make any input there! This is crazy...

EDIT:

Just a reset helped.
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
Guys, so what do you think of X2 upgrade?
[XPERIA X2 General] Mongtt:
I wrote this below message on SE blog and hope that the X2 product manager would read it.

Hi Aaron,

You gotta be more serious with this X2 coz it has already damaged a lot of SE reputation (not even counting what X1 has done).

The phone itself is a state-of-the-art piece of work (the only hardware weak point to me is the slow CPU instead of going up to 800MHz or higher as seen in HTC or Samsung)

X2 first released with hell of a nightmare software. you gotta accept that. It was a phone with no reliability. It would cost far more financial damage to a business user than its price tag. I am one of those who have suffered from this. No need to explain as I believe tons of people have made it clear on the internet.

The MR1 looks like nice upgrade with more feature like fast gps, radio, video call but the downside might be even more than that. SPB mobile shell 3.5.3 not working (this is a must on your X2, without it X2 is just not worth using) many software stop working after upgrade (what went wrong here?) Rotation disable, two nice games disappeared, inert keyboard, all these are too much expense for upgrading to MR1.

The phone still freezes sometimes.

To me, the most stable software is the original version + February minor update + SPB Mobile Shell 3.5.3

With such system, I can even put 10 more programs to the phone and it still run quite quickly with not too much program freeze or hang (of course it still exists but not too much; I could even stay without resetting the phone on some lucky days)

I did the upgrade, got disappointed and now um back to the previous version (I got my system backed up with SPB Backup, great software). I think I will just skip this MR1 upgrade (though I would really love to have radio) and wait for your MR2 or whatever coming out in May. Really hope you guys carry out something way better.

PS.Tech support (telephone) in Thailand is so hopeless. They know nothing about solving X2 problems. I guess it is the same in other country. you guys are the only hope keep in mind. Thousands of X2 users are waiting.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anybody who wants to move back from MR1 to previous version,

I got the original version + February minor update + SPB Mobile Shell 3.5.3

backup file by SPB backup.
[XPERIA X2 General] fadi.b:
more than 10 reset in day without execute any application

today i install spb mobile shell 3.5.2 (when installing it asking for remove latest version and i press yes) and this file SpbPanel.CAB when finish i remove it and remove other panel

now my X2 now is good (0 reset and no freeze screen after this and i execute many application like garmin, listen to music capture picture and playing game (xtrakt , tower defence) ....)

test this solution and reply if successful, you aren't lose anything
[XPERIA X2 General] Killer2006:
After MR1 update, everything was the same ---> alot bugs, freeze and memory card was unresponsive..., then i change microSD to a new (u can change from other device), all problems gone.

Sorry for my english, i'm from Lithuania
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
I had to reset the device 3 times after upgrade.

Freezes without a reason after exiting app or slideview to a

tilewave panel.

Disaster, looks like the panel is buggy!

Looks like a serious problem. I don't know if anybody experiences that

but it's absolute crap.
[XPERIA X2 General] leoxrd:
panel is working well and slideview is working really well.

it is certainly more stable but i have to be very patient when executing programs or going back to home screen. i give a few seconds to give the device some time for it to completely execute whatever is going on in the background. too fast and it would freeze or throw error (a problem has occurred... **.exe.. please tell microsoft..").

it is speedier but sadly the whole operation doesn't look smooth at all. it's like the cpu is sweating like hell and crying for help trying to catch up! never use this device beside an iphone or other smart phone user. it's really embarrasing.

depressing to see such an expensive phone with great hardware and supposedly to be SE's flagship product perform like thiss!

i may be wrong but i'm beginning to think that it's not SE's fault but windows mobile os is just buggy and making good hardware look really bad. i installed opera 10 beta and can see the big load speed difference when browsing. and so smooth than the preinstalled internet explorer. if so, still it's SE's fault to choose wm for this phone. or SE have bad programmers? i don't know.
[XPERIA X2 General] schaotan:
Like many others, i'm disappointed by the upgrade.

Phone is faster, surely, but random freezes are still occuring. I'm trying to troubleshoot, adapt my phone usage habits to prevent freezes, but its really bothersome and of little to no use.

Probably a brilliant strategy by sony to get me to spend even more upgrading to the X10. Though why i let myself be repeatedly suckered by sony is beyond me.

Shall we at least leave a vocal presence on the sony blog?
[XPERIA X2 General] gunawan-1:
Setting - personal - phone - security tab
[XPERIA X2 General] gunawan-1:
May be not the phone that freeze, I consider the screen that freeze. sometimes slide the keyboar can solve the problem. Just try.

Now I am afraid if my phone got misscalled or sms, the screen ( or phone ) will freeze. This is the best part of Xperia X2. so... just push the power button to turn it off and turn it on again.

My friend say : " Wow, your phone is very beautiful to look, but not good to use. Hahaha. " So, I tell all my friends not to call or text me with this number. Luckily I have another phone (X1).

Guys. What do you think of this Luxurious Stupid X2 Phone. Just good to see, not good to use.

So... What is X2 actually. A phone??? Pocket PC / PDA??? or what?

SE claim this is Smart Phone, huh... I say this is a piece of ****. Stupid phone actually.

Which brands dare to produce a phone with so many bugs? Sony Ericsson.

Damn. I bought X1 with 9 million Rupiah and I should wait for almost 6 months to enjoy the really X1.

I bought X2 with 6,5 millions Rupiah, how long should I wait for the real bugless upgrade?

(This bug is unexcuses, These all bugs should not be in a phone such as Xperia class)
[XPERIA X2 General] fadi.b:
about 20h without restart & now the first restart after doing this (maybe a solution for freeze
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
My only gripe with X2 with MR1 software upgrade are/were just total freezes.

I don't know if they were caused by constant testing it,

or maybe switching Panels all the time.

But my impression was that it was caused by coming back to TileWave Panel from app or

SlideView. The TileWave istself works nice, but looks like it caused these freezes.

I must say SlideView is great itself.

So now I use it with other homescreens, including damn SPB Shell which I don't like at all.

Escpecially poorly designed Calendar which clicked from homescreen

leads to another customized calenadar by SPB but when I choose to actually enter

a new date, I finally go to WM calendar.

Stupid stupid stupid, I just hate so many damn layers of UI!

And those disgusting annoying ugly icons/shortcuts on the left & right bottom corners...

I just wish I had those SE panels from X1, so well designed...

-------------

Anyway, if X2 will behave stable without the freezing problem, it's the one to go.

I like most of it and it's speed, I also don't see the hardware qwerty problem here,

as I posted before - the lag may be visible on screen, but indeed writing is on the same level of speed as before - no letter gets lost, everything is written.

The whole device behaves much better than before.

The thing I also notice is that responsivness and smoothness of UI

is remarkably better on portrait than landscape.
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
Could you clarify?

I just don't get your previous post:

"today i install spb mobile shell 3.5.2 (when installing it asking for remove latest version and i press yes) and this file SpbPanel.CAB when finish i remove it and remove other panel"
