If I would lose or break my X10, I would immediately buy another one. I don’t like HTC phones, but a part of that, I’m really satisfied of my X10. My only big complaint is the poor battery life.
[XPERIA X10 General] Diamond777:
Yeap I am having these thoughts over and over, and I tried expressing my feedback and I have been attacked verbally constantly like if pointing out issues in this phone was a crime.

I am pretty sure I will not finish May with this phone but I did try my best to be positive about it!

willing to swap my brand new x10 unbranded and unlocked for the htc desire
[XPERIA X10 General] Bialynia:
That's because you're trolling. :rolleyes:
[XPERIA X10 General] ratheen:
So i have had HTCs in the past and i have one major complaint about it. it's nice to hold, touch, use but it's not designed for extended use. all the HTCs i have had have become very hot on extended use, to the point that they shut down. this starts with the DASH, Diamond, and even the Nexus one.

i currently have the x10 and i use it like crazy, while driving (by attaching it to the car charger) and because of the excess space between the battery and back cover the phone does not shut off.

that's one thing.

other than that, i just feel that rooting is not that important if you can do what you want to do on the phone as it is. the only thing i miss is the WiFi Tether. but then again, i think the x10 is amazing to browse the net, i tend to not pick up my laptop at home.

i like the shape, the edges and the feel of the x10.

personally the only thing that seems to be a bit of a let down is the battery. with everything (gmail sync, 3G, auto brightness, time scape with sync) on, excluding the GPS, WiFi and Bluetooth i get about 16 hours of use, that includes chatting on GTalk, checking mail, listening to music, playing on the phone, facebook, etc. which is not bad

BUT it's less than what my GFs nexus one gives, that phone lasts a day and a half, but she has less usage too.

I have ordered the HTC HD2, will give that a shot and update this but i don't think i am going to let go of the x10.
[XPERIA X10 General] QuadESL63:
If this is not what you wanted I'd say get something else. Go where your heart went.

I have one for almost 2 weeks now and the only 2 things that sticked out are the battery life (or the lack of :p ) and SE released it with Android 1.6. MT is not really a big issue with me. Other than that I haven't had any issue with it. I have had an X1 for a few days and this is a big step ahead of the X1 by a wide margin.
[XPERIA X10 General] Davindy:
I appreciate everyones input as I'm still on the fence as to what to do with my X10 (if it ever gets here!!!).......

I see most of you are generally happy with your X10, but would you rather have an X10 or an HTC Incredible?
[XPERIA X10 General] ronnyuk:
I had an HTC Desire and now own a X10 both have their good and bad points, but the X10 is staying as my phone, the better camera and the 4" screen makes this a much better phone, and once 2.1 comes out it's going to take some beating.
[XPERIA X10 General] Bialynia:
If I wanted an HTC Incredible/Desire I would have bought one. ;) They're pretty much the same, and the X10 will get Android 2.1 later this year. The big negative with the HTC is the screen, you can't see it in the daylight/sun per Engadget:

Plus the styling of the phones is a big difference for me, I like the X10's more, especially the back.
[XPERIA X10 General] Davindy:
You raise a good point, and with summer here (I'll be outside more) that could definitely be an issue for me.

I must admit I'm starting to think keeping my X10 might be the way to go, especially with Paul on board now for the rooting! It's bound to happen soon!
[XPERIA X10 General] sungrad:
isn't the incredible just a poshed-up version of the desire? i think the only difference is the support for flash, and doesn't this just come with an update to 2.2?
[XPERIA X10 General] kr3w1337:
There are practical reasons to not getting the x10, to name a few:

- the screen supports primitive 65K colours at best, you can be sure that everything on that phone is looking as best as it can right now. it wont ever look much better.

- the screen is TFT standard, ie. bad sunlight legibility, bad contrast ratio among other things

- 384 MB of RAM as opposed to 512 MB at the LEAST from rivals, why is this important? if you want to do more, you need more resources. i guess someone can confirm the RAM usage on an average x10? expect it to go even higher once 2.1 is on there and man with 2.2 that thing is gonna be SLOW to run several apps at once (weren't a lot of people b*tching about not being able to multi-task?)

- SD card maxes at 16 gb, with a screen that big, you want to do stuff, stuff that will require space. rivals are at 32 gb by the way.

every other issue that i hear about this phone is strictly software and you should never reject a phone for software alone. software can be created, updated and becomes obsolete, the hardware that you're holding is there to stay much longer.

inferior hardware is way more than enough reason to pass up an offer on the phone.
[XPERIA X10 General] Bialynia:
Your post is nonsense and drivel, classic trolling from someone who knows little about the actual phone.

The screen supports 16m colors, Android 1.6 does not. It doesn't matter though because even with 65k colors the Xperia has the best looking screen of any one out at the moment, and when it gets the 2.1 upgrade it will have 16m, so basically your entire statement from start to finish was false.

This shows how clueless you are. You know what gives terrible sunlight legibility? AMOLED screens that HTC has, the X10 has the best sunlight legibility of any screen out there, don't take my word for it read ANY review genius. LCD screens have always been brighter then anything else.

It would be nice if that mattered in actual user experience.

SE only lists what is available at launch on the spec sheet, the X10 supports the 32gb SD card and it was confirmed it would prior to launch.

The hardware is absolutely top of the line on the X10.

Your post was 90% made up, and you seem to think the X10 has inferior hardware, where did you get that absurd notion?
[XPERIA X10 General] forzanerazzurri:
Can you just sell it and stop bugging us? Why ask anonymous people on a message board what you should do with your phone? Its annoying and lame.
[XPERIA X10 General] jojosplace:
kr3w1337 don't troll and at least do your homework before posting.

Brilliant reply Bialynia.

I can confirm about the screen brightness BTW, I have an x10 and my wife to be has the Desire. I came close to switching to the Desire but it's just so... boring. It's just another HTC phone with Sense UI (DO NOT WANT).

Yes indoors the Desire is brighter (though now to the extent I want to swap my phone_ but have any sort of exterior light on the screen and your borked, not the case with the x10.
[XPERIA X10 General] Davindy:
forzanerazzurri, this is part of the reason these forums are here.....for discussion, you don't like it, don't read it. Not sure how I'm bugging people????

I'm asking current owners of the X10 if they are happy with their X10 because I don't have mine yet, and after reading a lot of the posts here in this forum (including one of yours!) I wasn't sure if I would be keeping the phone or not.

If you don't have something constructive to say in this topic don't bother reading it......
[XPERIA X10 General] tuxStyle:
Well, i watched movies for 3 hours last weeend.

Outside.

That screen is impressive.

And even with 65k colors supported now, i didn't miss anything.

Oh, i'm wondering now, if 65k colors are enough to watch re-encoded from divx to mp4 movies, why those phones need 16mil colors?

What is pissing me off is that i don't know if is possible to have a wallpaper for each of the three virtual screens :P
[XPERIA X10 General] Bialynia:
65k is enough for anything, once you get to a certain point as far color density or resolution the numbers don't mean much of anything. Nokia always had the better specs on screens but if you compared the screens to that of an SE phone the SE's always had better colors, saturation, brightness etc. despite the better Nokia numbers. Here you have a Sony Ericsson C902 (262144 colors) and Nokia 6300 (16777216 colors)

I use Universal Extractor. it's free and can extract from any kind of file. It appears in the right click :)

Thanks mate, I tried using Universal Extractor on a hotfix file, for example, Messaging fix LEO08007-07.exe and got a folder full of unknown files like "MESSAG~1.011" etc. all numbered but not really usable. I got the same thing when using 7-Zip. Can you help? Am I missing something?

Many thanks in advance

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] papo:
finally I get a new phone and was looking around how to replace bootloader PIC and all guides seems so difficult that I created a small tool to make it all easy.

--

StartPIC working with any resolution, presets for wVGA, VGA and qVGA. (480x800 , 480x640 and 240x320)

+ easy drag and drop tool (drag BMP into bat)

+ one or two consequent starting PICs (also just with drug&drop)

+ starting with BMP finishing with flashing

+ presets for wVGA, qVGA, VGA

+ guides how to change presets for different resolutions inside bat file

+ guides how to create correct BMP (to see it, run bat file)

+ keeps NB files in case you want to flash them together with OS

+ BMP files Context Menu addition (optional), because drag&drop could be done from any folder location, but NOT different drive so far. You need to edit path in reg files to match yours.

- you may need to replace RUU inside, to match your pda

- I created, but didn't test VGA resolution presets

credits goes to:

* nbimg v1.1 (c)2008 Pau Oliva - pof @ xda-deve

* converting NB-NBH - NBHutil by Olipro

* tool for flashing rhodium CustomRUU.exe by udK @ xda-deve

and I just created that small bat and instructions making it all work together easy

===

Instructions:

there are 6 bat files for now, use only the one you need and delete others to avoid confusion.

StartPIC-480x800_rhodium.bat

to use with wVGA - RHODIUM (touch pro 2)​

StartPIC-480x800.bat

to use with any other wVGA​

StartPIC-480x640_raphael.bat

to use with VGA - RAPHAEL (touch pro)​

* not tested

StartPIC-480x640.bat

to use with any other VGA​

* not tested

StartPIC-240x320_kaiser.bat

to use with qVGA - KAISER (tytn II)​

StartPIC-240x320.bat

to use with any other qVGA​

rhodium, kaiser and raphael versions will go through all of the flashing process.

If your pda is wVGA and not rhodium, it could be that StartPIC-480x800_rhodium.bat will still work ok. Try that first. The same for others.

for universal versions:

1. after NBHutil window opens, choose your model and add splash file to splash box on right side, (NOT SPL!!!) there may be just one box. if you want to use subsplash (2nd PIC) and it's not there, you need to edit NBHutil.xml to add it.

2. hit "build NBH" and choose to overwrite RUU_signed.nbh in StartPIC folder.

3. now you need to close NBHutil, it stays it taskbar after close, right click the "N" icon and choose exit

4. process will continue to RUU

* you may need to replace RUU with yours. Put it in tools folder and rename exe to CustomRUU.exe

==

To make your pda's version:

edit bat file with your resolution and model name in the name. e.g. StartPIC-480x800_rhodium.bat

on beginning of the bat file, you'll find values you need to replace and description on how to do it.

usualy you only would need to replace two values:

set model_id=RHOD10000

set ver_forNBH=1.00.RHODIUM

The volume buttons on side is non functional on mine. Anyone else got the same problem? I have tried the reset from within android. And i can sometimes boot into the bootloader if i press the phone together around the volume down button while i press it and power on. But volume up is just not functional at all.

Any advice?

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Tereno:
Hi there,

Not sure if this is the right place to post - if it isn't, I'm sorry. Mods can move it to where it should be.

Anyway, as I was attempting to upgrade my radio and SPL, I was able to flash my SPL and Amon Ra's hero recovery. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to flash the radio. Using "fastboot usb", it says sending is fine but writing makes the screen fade out and fade in with gray. I wasn't satisfied so I tried updating through the recovery screen through update.zip.

Now, everytime I load up, an image with a box and an arrow pointing out and towards the phone shows - after that it fades out and sometimes fades to gray or fades to black etc. I haven't had any luck when I try taking the SIM out nor plugging in the USB. adb can't detect it at all. Any ideas?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kbeezie:
You said almost everything except what phone it was. 32A could be magic 32A,or a mt3g le/1.2

Also on the box screen try holding home + power again.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Tereno:
I'm sorry! It's a 32A Magic from Rogers.

Tried what you mentioned - it still fades. :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] zeeshanzc:
try going into HBOOT by pressing vol down + power.... if you can go there...than you still have a chance and just reflash the recovery using fastboot...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Tereno:
That didn't work either. I've tried so far:

Back + Power

Menu + Power

Home + Power

Camera + Power

Call + Power

Vol Down + Power

Vol Up + Power

Trackball + Power

They all give me the same result with the exception of Trackball + Power which gives me a blue LED and a blank screen.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] 3rdcoast:
that's a brick unless you find the right file that it is looking for.

Suggest putting the upgrade radio file on the sd card and try booting again: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=605239 . follow the upgrade radio version section.

You might not have flashed the radio and that is what it is looking for.

edit-> when you drop the new radio on the sd and boot don't get upset when you see that graphic again, that is what you'll see while the phone tries to load it. give it a minute before panicking.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Tereno:
Re: Upgrading the radio - do I edit the file to update.zip, put it in the root dir of the SD card and just let it go?

I'll try that. Thanks! I'll post my radio settings before.. and my radio settings that I was trying to flash to when I get home.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kbeezie:
Normally when you have to upgrade the radio, the typical method is to get into Fastboot then fastboot flash radio radioimage.img

If you can't do that, then usually you have to change it via a new SPL, such as a sappimg.zip or .img in the root of the SD card (as I don't think hboot automatically catches an update.zip which I would associate with a file being used in the recovery console, not hboot/fastboot)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Tereno:
It seemed like the SPL and the recovery img that I flashed earlier on worked.

And then I booted into recovery mode, renamed my radio update to update.zip and used the recovery mode to update the radio. I'm guessing that's where I went wrong?

I tried using flashboot radio radio.img and it was sent fine but the writing failed. The same error image as I am having now pops up but I could still have gotten into fastboot mode. It then prompted me to use the method above which is probably not what I wanted and ended up not being able to get into fastboot mode.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MassiveAttack:
Have you tried a "fastboot erase radio" command before trying to reflash the radio? I think that's maybe one of the things I had to do when I hosed my 1.2. Shoot... There was someone else asking about a bricked 1.2, and I forgot I had used "fastboot erase"...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Tereno:
I didn't do that. Maybe that's why. But now I can't get it recognized on my PC.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MassiveAttack:
"fastboot devices" doesn't find anything? Is it booting to fastboot/hboot?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Tereno:
Nope. It can't be detected. Everything I do to turn it on, it goes straight to the image with box and arrow pointing outwards and fades out.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] 3rdcoast:
I doubt that I can help but that image is telling you that the phone is looking for a specific file like it does at the factory. No telling exactly what file though. Normally that's a brick sorry to say.

But on the off chance that it is looking for the radio image I'm using try this, drop this file on the SD card and see if it helps. Let it run for a few minutes:
