Perhaps not, but Sony should be made aware of this issue. I'm sure they are already, but they seem to be taking their time doing something about it.

This is less of an "I want" issue and more of an "I bought" issue. I bought a phone with the advertised battery life. I didn't get it. I'd say the people in that boat have reason to complain.

The 2.2 stuff I don't really care about. I'm still perfectly happy with 1.6.
[XPERIA X10 General] fm1776:
The squeaky wheel gets the oil. Contact SE about the problems every one is experiencing may be the only way certain issues get addressed. You can not assume that SE has identified every issue.

A few phone calls each to SE customer support should make sure they don't take us for granted.
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
Do you have a better suggestion to ensure that our voices are heard and that SE focus their efforts on the developments that matter most to us, rather than leaving them to get on with it in the hope that they don't just develop what they think we might want?
[XPERIA X10 General] bulltronStudios:
lol, if a few phonecalls worked, the G2 would have gotten 2.1 months ago .. phone calls dont mean anyhting .. especially since people like SE have released 3 patches already for there x10, and the carriers aren't releasing them, and the locked phones, wont accept "check for system upgrades" .. not only SE's fault, defn' carriers fault aswell .... either way ... lame they throw out 415 hours of standby using gps, wifi, all the others they threw in there, realisticallyit is getting more more than 20-25 hours with using the Rachael UI .. that is brutal.
[XPERIA X10 General] fm1776:
Well, no is forcing anyone to call. Some will, like myself. And, others like yourself will not.

My original Motoral flip phone held a longer charge than this X10. SE should have waited a bit longer to release this thing. But, instead they rushed to market knowing many of the issues and had no problem accepting everyones money. Now they can accept some unpleasant complaints from the owners.
[XPERIA X10 General] bulltronStudios:
I dont think calling, or not calling is the way, either way, its not gonna fix the issue, maybe it Q4 when 2.1 drops for x10... they will be fixed, and i agree whole heartedly that SE has absolutely no issue taking money while delivering a sub-par UI and drivers ... and making the customer wait out the fixes while tethered to their power sources ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] yetep:
Well yeah... to quote the sale of goods act :

A product must be advertised accordingly with the actual product sold. It must not be shown of different specification without being included in the advertisement for that product.

So yeah I changed the words a bit to make them easier to understand for everyone, but a LEGAL route is going to be a better route rather than a complaint route.

Theyve had their time and I agree I'm fed up with it but effing and moaning is going to get us nowhere.

However, I know I personally don't have the cash to take them to court over something I find fairly feeble anyways. And the "*" next to battery life for example does refer the reader to a statement along the lines of "Subject to software configuration and data use." The battery life they claim will be running basic basic android, with all antenna off and phone on standby so that'll be the argument.

However, one word of advice for those that call is to use big, fancy words. The turkeys that answer their phones in the callcentre won't understand and therefore get scared at, things like "sale of goods act" and "quoted advertisement material".

Enjoy. Ill keep tabs on this post to see what happens from here. Never know, I might get involved.

[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
Think about it this way.. the more people who phone, the more calls will be answered.. the more agents they need answering phones.. the more it costs them.

also.. the more MI they get from the calls that is reported back from the call centres to the management team who make the decisions..

It's true that there is no point moaning an whinging on here.. or to the SE call centres.. but if people phone and email and do it more and more, with a real request or a point to make, or a "fault" to report etc.. then the bigger impact it has on SE, both from a financial perspective, and also from a strategic decision making perspective..

The furore around the X10 is bigger and more veciferous than any other phone out there.. and that noise must be concerning for SE..
[XPERIA X10 General] fm1776:
Maybe the best thing to do is sell this X10 and leave SE for another provider that takes after sales more serious.

What do you think about the HTC EVO 4G due out this month?
[XPERIA X10 General] Mobbs:
i'm so glad i checked here before i got rid of my hd2 for one of these sounds VERY familiar to the xperia x1 1st days until the software update (which took a age)

not very construtive i know but thx guys for making my mind up.
[XPERIA X10 General] rynoon:
This is the kind of thing that is the most likely to make Sony get their act together. This is supposed to be their flagship phone. If they can't go to the effort of making this work as advertised out of the box then perhaps they should rethink their business model.

I personally like the phone and enjoy using it. I'd recommend it to people (in Canada) who are okay with its current limitations. That being said, if Sony can't fix their issues with their flagship mobile product I don't think I'll be returning as a customer when it's time for me to get a new phone.
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
Battery life issues seem to be sporadic...

Remember the golden rule of the internet people... *****ing always sounds louder than praise. There's a bunch of users here... maybe 100 or so, but that barely makes even a percentage point of the phone's owners....so things are obviously going to be exaggerated.

My Xperia, for example, can go two or three days without a charge, and that's with using it everyday and having email poll every 5 minutes, and Facebook every 30.
[XPERIA X10 General] rvictorg:
I seriously doubt that...regardless what firmware are you running??

And if you're actually in Japan help the cause out man, Sony definitely cares more about their Japanese customer base than the Canadian one, ruffle some feathers over there for the greater good!
[XPERIA X10 General] OwLOwLOwL:
I also get 2-3 days out of one charge. Of course depending on usage.

I sometimes only get 1 day.. but then I have used it heavily (several hours.. both streaming music, GPS, wifi etc. )...

My normal pattern gets me 2 days straight without charging. I commute 2 hours each day listening to audiobooks and streaming music.

Firmware: R1FB001,

Baseband: 1.0.21

Helix launcher, no taskkillers, weather and calendar widgets, two mailaccounts gmail and one IMAP that polls every 30min.

If I do not use it much I get 3 days.

Regards // R
[XPERIA X10 General] tuxStyle:
I sent SE an email, somebody answered and told me it was redirected to another department and i'll be contacted soon.

More than 3 weeks and nobody answered :)

This is real customer support this days :)
[XPERIA X10 General] rvictorg:
Hmmm that may be why, all us on using X10a's are stuck on the original R1FA014, Baseband 1.0.14.

The only way I can get more than 12 hours is to power cycle after charge, disable 3G, remove all widgets (that update using data), only use wifi for internet, and not talk on the phone for more than 60 minutes. Pretty pathetic. Imho there is absolutely no excuse for this. I only expect to go a day with normal use without disabling every feature I got this phone for in the first place.
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
lol. Clearly I'm not the only person getting good battery life. Dunno what I'm doing differently. I stopped using task killers, leave 3G on and have a weather widget as well.

Baseband 1.0.09

Build number R1EA018

Kernel 2.6.29-rel

I'm in Japan, yes, using NTT Docomo as my provider. Docomo has already given a ton of statements about the phone, Sony is a little more silent. There's a firmware update coming next week that adds some features, and another update promised in September, with 2.1 in October.
[XPERIA X10 General] Bennachie:
Where are 'our' updates in UK? Still on 16. The promised minor update on 5th May should have been available 'in two weeks'! Almost 4 and counting.........:o:rolleyes:
[XPERIA X10 General] Bennachie:
Interesting email today..................

'Thank you for contacting the Sony Ericsson support centre.

Unfortunately there is no way to stop the handset locking when you have finished on a call, we offer apologies for any inconvenience this may cause'

Thank you SE. This after a month of telling me that it does not happen and that my handset is faulty!

Muppetts:cool:
[XPERIA X10 General] arcticreaver:
wait... SE HAD Customer Support? when did this happen?

the X10 has its issues and i don't think SE is going to rush out fixes for the phone anytime soon.

hopefully, the major issues will be fixed... in Q4.

flagship phone, my ass.
[XPERIA X10 General] JUICHI:
Where I live X10 don't have any update,only xxxx014 exist.But I changed it

during a new update by SEUS using the UK R1FA016 (I put 016 files into the folder of SEUS).

If Japanese firmware is the better with long life battery,if this have english

language free for select,why we don't try to use japanese firmware with the same metod used by me?

I know that this isn't a general solution but many people that can use a phone in english language can almost solve the battery problems.
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
Again, there's already been two firmware updates with another coming in the next week or two. Most issues have been taken care of.

What are yours? I wanna know if it's just people assuming that the problems on this forum are widespread or there really are problems that I haven't seen.
[XPERIA X10 General] saltorio:
Maybe for you there have. For us running X10a's, we're still stuck with the original release firmware: RF1A014.
[XPERIA X10 General] Cnrl:
Update seems to be only available in Japan,carrier block the update in most of the rest of the world,waiting for the 2.1 to do anything.So unless people temper with the device they are currently left with little choice.
[XPERIA X10 General] arcticreaver:
i never once got an update for my phone. so to me and probably many others, SE hasn't done jack for me.
[XPERIA X10 General] mirdones:
I have the brazilian rom, I'm from Brazil, RFB001, and my battery doesn't even last close to 14 hours. That's for 3g off most of time ando no wi-fi.
[Desire General] mcgon1979:
I took two pictures of a colour card I have, and the one take with default settings looked very dull compared to +1 setting on saturation. +1 looked more approximating to the original card. Just a note as some of you may not have tried this and may ave noticed some of your pictures look a bit dull/bland etc. try adjusting saturation by 1 level.
[Desire General] tsekh501:
I am also using saturation +1 most of the time.

The AMOLED screen is way over saturated, and it makes you think that the photos look ok under the default settings. But once you load them onto your PC, they just look super bland. Saturation +1 is still not perfect, but good enough for a cellphone. I would just use my DSLR if I need to take really high quality pictures.
[Desire General] mcgon1979:
agreed. +1 is better but not perfect. Pity there are only 6 settings from black and white to total saturation. 12 steps would have allowed more fine tuning. still, as you say its fine for camera phone. cheers for reply.
[Desire General] LINGYI:
how to modify the saturation of camera's preview by using sdk api?

i cann't find some relevant APIs...
[EVO 4G General] thecalip:
Since Android runs on a linux kernel, can it overclock the processor like the Pre? The Pre 800mhz makes it goes from 500mhz to 800mhz, a 60% increase without killing the battery.
[EVO 4G General] coolbho3000:
Yes, at least 10%.
[EVO 4G General] chuckhriczko:
Check out the N1 forums. They have a snapdragon as well and, last I checked, have it overclocked to 1.3 ghz I think. Toast released an overclocked kernel for the Hero so I'm sure we can use that same code to overclock the Evo.
[EVO 4G General] kmartburrito:
In theory you're right as the Evo also uses a qualcomm MSM chipset, but the code will definitely take some finagling. I'm sure toast and maejrep can get it going though.
[EVO 4G General] chuckhriczko:
I'm sorry. Good point. I should not have said exact same code. But regardless, the theory should be the same so we can definitely OC it.
[EVO 4G General] tokuzumi:
While I know this phone will be the tits, I'd love a fully-functioning AOSP 2.1/2.2 (meaning camera and 4G radio) rom, with an overclock.

The Darchdroid AOSP 2.1 rom for the hero runs so smooth....it's like butter.
[EVO 4G General] chuckhriczko:
It wasn't like butter for me. More like margarine. Less fat but leaves a bad after taste. ha ha. Like I said in other threads I am working on an AOSP port for the Evo so once I get root I can test it and hopefully release it shortly after the 4th. Hopefully we can add some overclocking to that.
[EVO 4G General] tokuzumi:
Even comparing the fresh toast, to the AOSP rom, the AOSP ran much smoother for me. Both were overclocked to the same speed.

I'll be checking up on your progress, as you definitely have me intrigued. Do you have 4G in your area? I want to make sure 4G is functional, since I'm in the middle of a big ole' pocket of 4G.
[EVO 4G General] kmartburrito:
Exactly right. And I think the drawback for us on the Hero really was OpenGL 2.0 support. Had we had that in the beginning, it would have been like melted butter :)

But you take lemons and make lemonade, right?

Ha, even if it doesn't need it, I'd still overclock it. It's really an obsession. I can't help but void any warranty if the situation presents itself.
[EVO 4G General] chippillie:
I'm sure toast is working on it already
[EVO 4G General] MagnusRagnarok:
Of course he is. Since he already has his makeshift kernel for it than oc cant be far off,which im sure he's already set his sights on

:D TOAST TOAST TOAST :D​
[EVO 4G General] catpunt:
my wet dream:

darchdroid aosp froyo 2.2 for evo with everything working, overclocked to 1.2ghz
[EVO 4G General] az93civic:
agreed :D:D:D:D:D
[EVO 4G General] coolbho3000:
Quick port of my patches from the N1/Desire, attached are the two relevant files (one for config and one in arch/arm/mach-msm).

You could probably get away with undervolting too, but there is no guarantee that it will go up to 1.267GHz that these patches will allow.
[EVO 4G General] chuckhriczko:
Nice one bro. Once root is released I'm sure these will come in handy.
[EVO 4G General] FuManChuu:
Heh, I shoulda known, but I never realized so many major figures of the android community are active on XDA... pretty pumped for SetCPU once I get my EVO. Not so much for OC, but clocking down to save bat <3
[EVO 4G General] kmartburrito:
Fantastic! I swear the Evo is going to be able to drive my car for me before Friday at the rate you guys are churning out gold :) Thanks for providing this!
[EVO 4G General] Drewmungus:
Does overclocking a phone this sweet really make that big a difference?

So far it seems like almost the very instant I click something, it's up and running already. (I haven't tried any big and crazy games yet though)

BTW I'm expecting my rooted fresh Hero to bow down and start worshiping my EVO at any second now
[EVO 4G General] MagnusRagnarok:
:D It only matters if YOU think it does :D​
[EVO 4G General] Jus10o:
Darchdroid is amazing.. Im running it right now on my hero. But shouldnt everyone be wanting a Cyanogen rom. I mean it is what Darchdroid is based on entirely.

Darch is amazing and can do alot. But he uses the source from cyanogen. Cyan should be getting alot more credit.
[EVO 4G General] thecodemonk:
Well, unless Cyanogen gets an evo (and with him being based oversea's, it's pretty unlikely at this point)...I'm not exactly hopeful for a direct source.

Cyanogen has done a lot of work and I don't think anybody would ever question how much of a major player he is in the android community as a whole but a lot of dev work is based on work done by a lot of people building on each other. Darch does deserve the credit for putting it together and figuring out the bits and pieces needed to be changed to get it working on the phones here (and doesn't Darch credit Cyanogen heavily in his ROM posts already?). :)

Hi everybody,

First i would like to say that my english is not very good so i'm sorry for it...

So i start,

I'm trying to root my desire (1.21) which is not orange's one.

So i don't need a goldcard?!

But i try to execute recovery-windows.bat it always told me "device not found"??

I've installed htc sync 2.....33.

Phentex merci de m informer que ce n est pas ici qu on post!!! Je ne le savais pas!!!

Par contre je t informe pour ta gouverne que plutot que de traquer les nouveaux arrivants comme moi le desire en 1.21 est rootable et je viens d en finir le rootage

merci a toi pour ton intervention!!!!

What i have to do?

Cause when my desire was in 1.15 version i had no problem to root.

So what's the difference between the two version and what i have to change?

Thanks for your future answer.

oh and by the way, i'm not sure 1.21 is rootable at present time.
[Desire General] PsYDoX:
i have generated a original 1.21. WWE ROM with root access, by time i can upload this

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] FrmPalm2WM:
first off if this is posted somewhere els my apologies i looked for a long time and could not find it.

i recently baught a MyTouch 3g (tmobile) and unlocked it with a code but i am stuck on the set up screen i tap the android guy and go through a couple screen and it asks me to log in to google or create an account i input my information and it goes through the motions but it alwayscomes back saying that it cannot connect. the phone shows it has service but i cannot get past this screen.

if i hit the menue button i do have an option to go into network settings and i have put all of the settings that rogers has given me (there are alot of empty spaces though) and still no effect. Please someone help i dont wanna be stuck with a phone i cant even use. Thanks in adv
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Kemekill Products:
Well since you unlocked it you are not finding a set network therefore you're stuck.. you're most likely going to need to root your phone and install a rom that allows bypass of google sign in so you can get your vpn set up correctly first.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mastiff78:
Press the menu button after powering on the phone. In network setting, you need to add the APN settings for your network, in your case its Rogers. So yeah, get the correct Rogers APN settings and you are ready to go.

However since Rogers requires you to buy a data day pass if you don't have a data plan, the above procedure might not work. Try it first though.

The safest bet is to buy a data day pass (only $2.99 for 20MB) on your other current rogers phone, and then transfer the SIM card to your myTouch. Don't worry about those blanks in APN settings, just fill up the required field.

Hope it helps.

Hi,

I have been following the posts and I have a similar problems with Hebrew.

I have a new HTC HD2 pone and I would like to add Hebrew support but not for the GUI (should be still English) only enable read and write Hebrew in various applications.

I have installed Hebrew.cab and FingerKeyb but my Hebrew is still LTR.

I do not have the ability to change Hebrew in my regional setting as suggested in some manuals.

My rom version is 1.66.707.1 (76641) WWE

my OS is 5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82)

my Manila version is 2.5.19211619.0

can someone recommend a guide or tutorial to solve the problem?
