Issues:

1. Memory card issue: a HUGE shame they were not able to do that.

I installed sd fix (thanks xda!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) and will see if it works.

As reports say - it works..........

2. I cannot have key lock. After applying this, my device has boot problems.

3. Sometimes processes are not killed properly.

Must say:

It's very responsive now, a very pleasant device.

That's what I was waiting for...

People say there are more games and panels available.

Photos are good...
[XPERIA X2 General] iopy:
1: I told you so ;)

2: I have no problems with my key-lock. Try updating the phone one more time?

3: Use SPB and task manager, and you can kill every processes that is running.
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
1. I will see if it works.....

.......

3. I hate SPB UI.

I use SKTools to do it.

BTW, I'm not talking about CLOSING applications.

I talk about processes which cannot be closed and can only be

killed.
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
So guys

ALL of you confirm that SDCard fix fixes all the memory card issues?
[XPERIA X2 General] zapalkam:
Yes, sure

For me - SD card fix fully fixed the SD card problem... (week experiences now).
[XPERIA X2 General] anothadave:
yeh dont think its possible for everyone to say it fixes all issues guarenteed. only to confirm that we havent had any so far... if youve applied the fix then thats about all you can do really.
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
Ok guys, hope will be fine.

However I still think they've screwed it.
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
One more serious issue:

TileWave Panel is still buggy, just made my device reboot.
[XPERIA X2 General] Prydplante:
Hi!

Just applied the SD card registry fix after having my card corrupted. This happened all the time with MR1 but has not happened until now with MR2. But 9 days without corruption is not enough...:(

My question is: How much more battery does the phone use after applying the SD card fix? With MR1 I experienced about 50% reduction in stand-by time, and that I had to charge twice as often as before. What is your experience?
[XPERIA X2 General] spyder9950:
@everyone

to those who are looking for xtrakt n experiment 13 games, cnn panel etc... try to check playnow from IE browser. SE has posted them.
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
@spyder9950

Saw that too yesterday!

Nice.

There are also more panels, some are back from X1

like OnTheRoad.

Twitter is there also.....
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
After applying SDFix no problems (well the last 24 hours).

Bugs:

The top bar icons lead to settings which open and than disappear:

if I want to check the battery or set the time from there,

sometimes just have to go through the menu to do it finally...

The menus appear and disappear.

Also, adding the items in calendar from SlideView

all the entries appear doubled.

What is not occuring when doing this from calendar.

I REALLY miss SE Panels!!
[XPERIA X2 General] anothadave:
when i switched from generic_sg to generic_uk i had a play with the phone before installing all the cabs (just after stopping the customizations from starting). had 200mb free and was lightning fast lol. was a bit unstable without the tweaks though. but just goes to show what the cpu and phone is capable of without the dozen different interfaces forced onto it. its a shame we dont have the choice to just have one and properly strip the rest without resorting to registry hacks. whether it be MS or spb or slideview or tilewave etc. they all look nice but just feel a bit unecessary and i think the phone gets itself confused...

why didnt they just leave it at the panels like on the X1? so youre only using one interface at a time. even spb still has the MS interface working underneath and brings up slideview on occasion.
[XPERIA X2 General] mtechfan:
Alright so the "Full" version of SPB was acting buggy as heck again this week and today I finally got sick of it. :mad:

So I uninstalled it and and reinstalled the Factory stripped down X2 "Vulcan" version. Why? Because I like quick easy icons on the first screen.

Now the default SPB widgets are pretty lame so I tested to see if this add on will work. "Vostradamus Spb Mobile Shell Manager 5"

Gladly it does :D So it will do for now.

SE released their own CAB to enable the accelerometer.

[XPERIA X2 General] steinrk:
Wrong pin code bug

Every now and then my phone refuses to acknowledge the correct PIN code when I try to get it out off phone lock. When this happens the only solution is to remove the battery.

The bug has been there since the beginning and is still there now after MR2 and the SD fix even if it has only happened once during the last week.

Any one else seeing this bug?
[XPERIA X2 General] Prydplante:
Yes, I have this as well.

To me it happens every time when I am in an area where the phone looses signal coverage. Today I tried to keep the bluetooth function activated, and then I did not have the problem! Try if you experience the same.
[XPERIA X2 General] Mongtt:
Does MR2 come with SPB mobile shell 3.5 or 3.2? Can you install version 3.5 on MR2?

MR1 came with SPB shell 3.2 and installing version 3.5 on MR1 was a disaster.

Thanks,
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
****!

So when I thought all is fine basically,

today.....

I'm at the airport.

I turn on WiFi, which was working perfectly before,

and suddenly.....

I have no WiFi anymore in Conn Settings,

instead - with the same icon - I have "Lan Cards"

or however you call it,

anyway - inside things which apparently wait for basic setup,

like L2TP NDISWAN Miniport

Ethernet Driver

Bluetooth Pan Driver

etc.....

So does that mean that suddenly the device

got all the settings lost?

What are these things??

I have no WiFi.....

Please let me know!

It's crazy.

EDIT:

Few reboots did the job....

Scary......
[XPERIA X2 General] andoy:
how is the cab for motion based games and apps? Particularly turn to mute, I've always wanted that......

thanks.
[XPERIA X2 General] mtechfan:
I have already replied to this :rolleyes:

Yes MR2 has 3.5, but it a special stripped down version specifically for the X2 and is pre-registered.

It just enables the accelerometer so that you can use it again with the SE stuff, as far as I can tell it does not add 3rd party support.

With the custom REG edits, you can specify what you want to work with it.
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
I just synchronized X2 with MyPhone.

Loading all my synchronized 4000+ smses takes about an hour....
[XPERIA X2 General] mtechfan:
Dude! :eek: Why do you want to save so many SMS messages?
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
Hah!

I have no idea but I almost don't delete them....

Probably it is weird!

Anyway, my own reception after few days with MR2 and SDFix installed

1. Basically fast device, good interface (love it), smooth, responsive

2. TileWave works, what I like.

3. No freezes

4. SDFix installed - no problems so far.

5. After syncing with MyPhone, SlideView took some time to refresh all the new

information (emails, sms etc.)

Refreshing new pictures also takes long time sometimes

6. SMS notification is screwed. It plays sometimes only fragment of a notification/soundfile. No lights and screen notification - all black.

Basically no lights work when the screen is black. So, what is the sense of these lights?!

7. Pictures good, in the night a bit blurry but that is normal, however you can work it out.

Video better than before. Usable

8. SlideView has a choppy video playback

9. WM default homescreen doesn't allow you to edit settings chosen from the top bar - after appearing they vanish immediatley, staying open in TaskManager,

what is actually fine in TileView.

10. I want more RAM, after 2 days only 60MB left on WM Home, 45MB with TileWave...

11. The sound when talking is good. Ludspeaker great

12. Radio has no way to quickly scroll through waves. I think the review buttons are buggy - don't work

13. I don't miss Mass storage - I didn't configure my X2 on laptop so X2 works as a disk, addictionally I can browse my device also (not only memory card)

If I missed something I'll add later.

Internet fine, apps ok, smooth scrolling ok.

My opinion is:

I like it because WM 6.5.3 is decent, and X2 has a great form factor.

Softwarewise it's unbelievable shame SonyEricsson after few upgrades still

gives us UNREADY device. It's still half ready, half beta.

Hopefully MR3 will be available at some time.
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
A very nice feature:

When I connect to internet through application,

once I leave it - the connection closes.

When I do the same thing from CommManager,

the connection stays....
[XPERIA X2 General] mtechfan:
Yeah I think my X1 did that as well.

Nope, my X1 doesn't...

[XPERIA X2 General] mariusburcus:
I still have a bug even clearing phone memory. I cannot switch hardware port in external GPS to COM8, automatic management ticked or not. After I select COM8 and tap OK, it reverts to 'none' .

This is annoying especially since I cannot use TomTom, 7.4 nor 7.9 and I would have preferred it over any other app.

Anyone else encountered this bug?
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
Clearing phone memory???
[XPERIA X2 General] mariusburcus:
Well after updated to MR2 I've installed some apps which also use the GPS, a newer Google Maps than the one included, also GpsTracka. I thought they could have messed the external GPS settings so today I went to Settings > Phone Reset. I understand you were intrigued because I used the term 'Clear phone memory' which was the term used for factory reset in the old firmwares.
[XPERIA X2 General] mariusburcus:
I have found Tomtom works with an external bluetooth GPS I have around from my P1i kit. However this is far from confortable.
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
Your sentence sounded like you have the bug which clears memory........
[XPERIA X2 General] mariusburcus:
I see now I wrote it wrong, I should have said I have a bug which persists even after I cleared phone memory. Sorry for that.
[XPERIA X2 General] mtechfan:
The GPS setting to COM 8 works perfectly for me. First time I tried it.

Did you also make sure you updated FastGPS? Can try that and then try setting the port again.
[XPERIA X2 General] lyteo:
After I thought everything is ok with MR2 update, I now see I was mistaken. In 2 days I got 3 SOD - 2 times using SPB Mobile Shell, once using TileWave panel, which I really like..Also, once phone hanged in Slideview, which I also enjoy using. I'm quite tired of stripping down phone to basics just to make it stable. Even though this happens only when it gets hot outside (37 degrees of celsius), I'm thinking about changing this phone for X10 or even iPhone. It's bad that those phones don't have hardware keyboards, but I could easier live without keyboard than with unstable phone...
[XPERIA X2 General] mariusburcus:
Thank you but it doesn't seem to work. I have tried this many times before deciding to reset, tough move since I will have to rebuild a lot now, but no, even after a clean start, my X2 won't allow me to change the hardware port. Guess I'll have to resort to GPSGate.
[XPERIA X2 General] mariusburcus:
First try to apply the SD Card Fix.
[XPERIA X2 General] fila87:
it happens to me all the time, i solved problem be setting the pass in settings>>lock so now every time i want to unlock i need to type pass. Or don't lock your keyboard, just press POWER button so your phone goes to STAND BY mode,this is almost the same case like when you do lock.

[XPERIA X2 General] lyteo:
Man, thanks for the tip, but you did not understand my post properly :)

I'm having the Sleep-Of-Death problem :) SD card fix was the first thing I installed after MR2 update, to prevent any memory card data loss :) but I'm having other problems, and I guess I'll have to change the phone...
[XPERIA X2 General] mtechfan:
I haven't had the Black Screen of Death since MR2. Which was the major issue with MR1... still, it needs a lot of polishing up.
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
X2 freezes sometimes in TileView Panel,

when changing orientation when caught in this animation process..

Now after having contacts, smses and pictures

on the device

after boot it takes few minutes to load all the things

in SlideView.

After that all works OK.

X2 is still unfinished product.
[XPERIA X2 General] mtechfan:
Definitely a yes on that one! :p
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
Regarding the sound:

There's something strange with drivers or whatever...

I mean speaker is great, all the default notifications are louder than my X1.

The ringtones are too soft...

The sms bug is easy: it cuts all the sounds which are longer than 1,5 seconds about.

I've made myself a new ringtone which is very short and it's always played.
[XPERIA X2 General] andoy:
I'm using navicomputer. It includes navimapper which is an offline PC app that you use to download maps so you just need GPS on. No special settings needed, works perfectly with X2.
[XPERIA X2 General] andoy:
I used to experience this but this is what I've done. I set the message alert settings illumination to 5 mins, checked the play sound, and display on screen.

Before, I used to have a setting of unlimited illumination. But after changing it to 5 mins, the sound always play and doesn't get cut off.

It's now been a week, hopefully it's permanent.
[XPERIA X2 General] mtechfan:
Interesting...

I think I had enough of this X2 and now I am beginning proceedings to return the device and get a full refund as is stated under EU regulations.

I am tired of having to work for FREE for SE helping others fix this phone and SE has not done very much at all, except promote the heck out of the X10.
[XPERIA X2 General] steinrk:
I'm sorry to say but so have I.

At work we have already initiated the first step to hand back all X2 that we have in the company. It is only 6 of us, but I hope SE is realizing what they are doing. The X2 has come a long way with MR2 but there is also a lot of more errors to correct.

With SE's track record over the last months I doubt they will ever complete it. I hope I'm wrong, but I'm not willing to wait and see.

One thing is for sure the next phone will not be a SE
[XPERIA X2 General] mtechfan:
I was considering the Android X10 version, but I'm not so sure. That one has a few issues as well. Maybe HTC or Motorola instead. But knowing my provider they will whine and complain to no end about giving me a refund and most likely will only want to exchange.
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
Mine X2 is directly from SE.

I also think of getting rid of it.

However there are many things I love about it,

but issues here persist.

If I'll give it back, definitely I'll also do a black PR against

such rude manufacturer.
[XPERIA X2 General] mtechfan:
Good for you mate! :D

By the way, SE has already agreed that the cracks are a warranty issue and gave me the option of service, exchange or return. However, I still have to go through the provider whom I got this phone. Besides, I am kind of tired of spending all this time trying to get this working properly. It should be ready out of the box! Then we add the selected few that come on here making demands to help them (as if we are SE). Well to hell with that! I have no more patience for that childish BS anymore!

Off topic: The Motorola Driod/Milestone also has a slide out keyboard and it's an Android device... it also has a capacitive display that works with multi touch! ;) The KB is important to me, I think you wanted that as well right?
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
Keyboard is a must yes.

But now I say I'm not that interested in Android.

If not X2 I will be waiting for the next generation of devices like WP7

or just ditch this alltogether...
[XPERIA X2 General] steinrk:
It looks like we wil be given the option to choose btween the X10 or the Desire.

I know what I DISIRE :D
[XPERIA X2 General] Bouvard:
Interruptions in voice

I would like to ask you, if you have the same problem after MR2.

When I am using head set and speaking with somebody and somebody else tries to calls me, so the voice is regularly interrupted by ckacking sound and ringing tone. I almoust did not hear the conversation through interuptions till the second caller hangs up.
[XPERIA X2 General] mtechfan:
Yes that happens sometimes to me, happened in MR1 as well. It's not a problem with BT headsets but only directly connected ones. At least that was my observation.
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
For me the main issues:

1. The fact that I had to fix memory card problem myself

2. After boot it takes 10 minutes to have a ready to use device - it loads that loong the content in SlideView, at this time also camera is slooooooooow - unusuable

3. Sms sounds too low - even if the sound file itself is loud and is loud played in media player, but on sms is much more quiet

4. Freezes occasionally on TileView operation.

The rest is mainly heaven.

The latest IE with Flash is also very capable!!
[XPERIA X2 General] spyder9950:
I had the same problem with booting the device took 10 minutes. Now it's gone. It boots only 2 minutes.

What I did: re-install the whole OS from beginning again and transfer only SMS and contact (I didn't transfer call log).

Try to check the booting right after finish re-install the whole OS. So you re-boot the phone with only Manufacturer default program, no SMS, no contact. See if booting can get fast like 1-2 minutes before the device ready.

btw, I don't use threaded view for SMS. I found it's a bit of problem with hundreds/thousands of SMS

I don't use tilewave, only SPB and WM default screen.

Good luck.
[XPERIA X2 General] spyder9950:
I don't have that problem so far. Only Camera flash doesn't work. even though I set it "on". Any idea how to fix this problem?

SMS sounds only works 1.5 seconds the rest is cut off.

Otherwise, my X2 works charming.
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
Thanks.

I will not reinstall the whole OS.

No time for that anymore.....

Fresh device was booting normally.

Everything is probably caused by smses which I synced

through MyPhone and I've had over 4000 of them.....
[XPERIA X2 General] andoy:
I read a lot of reviews that the KB of droid sucks. It's similar to razr wherein you won't feel much tactile feedback when you press them. Just like presing the call button of the X2.

X2's hardware is really great, it's my 1st winmo phone AND my first slider phone and I really love typing on it.

What cracks did you encounter with the X2?

I still love SE though because their hardware and batt life are really great (except for X1 though). I have my eyes set on the x10 mini pro, all reviews say KB is awesome.
[XPERIA X2 General] spyder9950:
just an idea. I saved all old SMSes in my comp. Where you still can view it if you want to read it. You probably need 3rd party software. keep small file size in your handset.

I've been following this thread to see the problem with MR2.

There are lots of helpful information from everybody here.

Thanks so much.

I finally decided to upgrade to MR2 just this week.

It's been doing quite OK. Just got in to problem with Call history but

got it fixed now.

however, my slideview suddenly stop rotating and i cant figure out why.

I still have auto rotation turned on and double check on the registry key that

it is actually turn on (value 1).

Can somebody please let me know how i can fix this.

Thanks a lot
[XPERIA X2 General] mtechfan:
Sometimes it takes an abnormally long time before it does actually rotate. I have noticed this myself and don't know how to make it faster or smoother. Most of us just don't use slideview because it is so buggy and a resource hog! :p
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
I actually do use it and love it.

I don't use autorotation though. I just don't like it.

Besides sms notification bug and sd card bug (fixed by xda...) this is almost flawless.

Finally good to use. Almost a dream device.
[XPERIA X2 General] Mongtt:
Actually my slideview just doesnt rotate at all and it is so annoying when

you view some photos and they need to be rotated to see bigger pictures.

Slideview is indeed a useful program for quickviewing photos, listening to music, using PlayNow and playing game (easy access to game folder in a nice way). Besides those, it is just not as user friendly as supposed to be.

The picture frame in SBP Mobile shell is actually very nice to use. I have one page of home screen set with many photo frame (look like album).

easy to use, just touch the photo and you will go to slide show with finger

friendly interface.

Anyway, I am still stuck with my PIM information especially contact information. I donno why, but my laptop just doesnt sync contact with my X2 and i cant import from the PIM backup (which i made from MR1) because it will cause the inactive call history problem.

Guys, need help, almost there, almost a reliable phone...... just a few steps ahead. help please. :(
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
I quit all the phone - PC sync.

It was successful for me with P1 - X1 transfer.

Strangely - later on my laptop refused to do any sync with my X1 anymore.

So I just rely on MyPhone which is flawless....

I never resolved the error with sync....
[XPERIA X2 General] anothadave:
have either of you tried ticking or unticking the "enable advanced network functionality" box in the USBtoPC settings? its in the connection settings menu. i found i had trouble syncing my phone when the box was ticked. but other people had trouble when the box was UNticked.... im not sure what it does exactly but its always worth trying the opposite if youre having sync problems with your computer.
[XPERIA X2 General] spyder9950:
use registry editor. you have to add slideview.exe in the registry to enable autorotation for slideview. Check on this thread or xperia blogger to find how to add it in the registry.

I have mine auto rotate including some programs ie: excel
[XPERIA X2 General] Mongtt:
Thanks, i will try that.

Actually i only have problem syncing contact.

After time spent on testing X2 on my second SIM (prepaid)

I finally switched to my main data plan and opeator.

Experienced horrible data setup problems.

Looks like operators don't really care about users who don't buy their (branded and screwed) devices and cannot send apprioprate data setings.

Mine refused to work after 1 day even if they looked OK.

I had to delete all of them and apply them again.

Strange and frustrating.

you're screwed!
