I've had the update for like an hour guy, I have no clue. Too soon to tell. Once Mediascape loaded up for the first time, it seemed to be the same as before.

The screen was already sensitive, so I'm not sure what you mean by the screen being "more sensitive"? Do you mean more accurate on the keyboard? Feels like it, but I use the Japanese keyboard, so I don't know how the other keyboards are like.

No new apps. Phone feels the same, maybe a bit snappier.

Picture time!

A wild update has appeared!!

Update uses Inform! It was super effective!

Update uses Download! It's getting faster!

Battlecrusier operational.

Edit: Pay no attention to the time.. I was at work, and rather busy, so I couldn't attend to the phone.
[XPERIA X10 General] Zenghelis:
But we are waiting for something like R2BA, aren't we?
[XPERIA X10 General] jakp3:
Nothing in Italy
[XPERIA X10 General] the_black_dragon:
yepp and still no update for mid of europe (switzerland) and still on R1FA016

btw the planned date for SE to release R2 update is mid of june so we have to wait for a week if it is not delayed again :rolleyes:
[XPERIA X10 General] Zenghelis:
****, I though it would be released this week! Well is nearly mid of june :)
[XPERIA X10 General] jkr284:
firmare update has been next week, next week for the past 4 weeks lol, crock of ****!!
[XPERIA X10 General] bloke:
I have an interesting question, I bought a phone of of Ebay, and it might have been Vodaphone, but it was unlocked and working on O2, Currently running R1FA014,

Who provides the update for this phone, is it O2, or Ericsson.???:confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:

Thanks

Bloke
[XPERIA X10 General] Zenghelis:
If it's only sim unlocked, then is Vodafone who provides updates, like mine.
[XPERIA X10 General] bloke:
Thanks, but I wont get a vodaphone update on an O2 Sim will I :confused:
[XPERIA X10 General] Zenghelis:
I think we must debrand it if we want a free firmware update, cause our phones still have vodafone firm, at least mine does, though i use it with Orange. I´ll wait for next "big" update to debrand and update... I suppose it's coming soon.

Anyway if someone can explain us what to do i'll be glad.
[XPERIA X10 General] bloke:
Cheers for that, its what I thought, Im just going to sit tight till the Dev's manage to root the X10, then ill install custom roms :D

So apparently, Sony doesn't release updates to their firmware, despite mine being updated today. You people are a hard to please bunch.

Just wondering if anyone here is running R2BA020 firmware yet? I read that it has been circulating since the beginning of the month in some regions.

It was just rooted when I sold it, but thats not the reason I sold it, I sold it as it was uninspiring, it was a boring design aesthetically, its jut my personal opinion of course, The X10 has the Wow factor. Also the screen size is better on the X10.

Bloke
[XPERIA X10 General] se_dude:
@iead1- Can you please provide a list of changes? :)
[XPERIA X10 General] Higgins12:
You seem to forget that the Japanese X10 is different to the X10i + X10a , most of us still sitting with the old R1FA014 firmware because there is no single update available. The Japanese X10 is Docomo's best selling device ever (as far i read) and be sure they will push SE enough to handle Firmware updates faster.
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
Just (finally) had a call back from my man at SE.. He's been reliably informed by the back office team that the software release will be week 25 (which is actually 2 weeks from now).. He's trying to get an exact date and will update me when he has it... note.. this could just be the UK release though as I didn't ask about other areas..! We'll see shall we!
[XPERIA X10 General] jerpelea:
can someone upload the update files

maybe this can help us achive root for everybody
[XPERIA X10 General] jkr284:
i thought so, they are just gonna keep dangling a carrot until the q4 update, there will be no update this month, sportsmans bet!!
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
List of changes on the site are just the ability to buy music on Mediascape and flick typing, like the iPhone.

I'm sure there's little things.

The phone is the same. There's nothing to make the phone any different, besides a different UTMS band or two.

Blame your carrier for any delays, because the updates ARE being released, but not being pushed out.
[XPERIA X10 General] Higgins12:
There ARE differences , see the RAM Japanese = 384Mb others 256 and who knows what else, as far it was mentioned. The Phone isn't bound / branded to any Carrier therefore there shouldn't be any Carrier specific modifications to do. Because in stone age Indonesia something like that doesn't exist.
[XPERIA X10 General] lornova:
Are you joking or are you just so arrogant?

We are SOOO happy that you in Jappon have you nice update, but the rest of the world is still waiting.

I have a European no-brand no-lock device, so carriers really don't matters.
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
I can't find a single official source on your claim that only the Japanese X10 has 384 MB of RAM.

I'd love to see one.
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
It's not arrogance. I just find it funny that there's so much *****ing about the phone not being updated and Sony not caring, ect. that when something DOES happen, it's now "not good enough" and so on.

Maybe the update was carrier specific and includes no functionality tweaks then. Who knows? It's just tiring reading the same pointless "OMG SONY HATES ITS CUSTOMERS" posts day in and day out.
[XPERIA X10 General] se_dude:
All X10s have 384 Mb RAm.Its just the 1.6v that isnt able to unviel the potential.
[XPERIA X10 General] Higgins12:
There you have 2 , need more ?

[XPERIA X10 General] yoshemoshe:
This is true for Canada at least. The carrier must approve/certify the software before the OEM can release it. This would be the reason why you would also recieve an generic update faster since it's not related to any carrier.
[XPERIA X10 General] Lex360:
yeah thts why most of us already debranded our phones to get the update faster... but there isnt any upd8 4 us.... :(
[XPERIA X10 General] lornova:
However phones with no brand, not sold by operators, and thus with generic firmware, are still not getting updates.

Then, I would stress the fact that the firmware update policy of Sony Ericsson is absolutely opaque. It should be much more clear and transparent to the end user.
[XPERIA X10 General] rvictorg:
Blame SE not carriers

I had a long talk yesterday with the Office of the President at Rogers, all about this phone and its issues. Rogers has not received ANY information from Sony Ericsson regarding firmware updates other than the Android update to 2.1 (which Rogers still thinks is happening in September lol) that everyone knew about before it launched. I had to explain to the rep that the European and Japanese markets already have minor firmware updates but we're all waiting for something, not to mention the global one which was supposed to come out in May. Obviously Rogers had no information about this, so I directed her to the appropriate websites including SE's own, as well as the petition for Froyo 2.2 instead of only 2.1. She was actually really receptive to all this information and shocked at the number of upset customers out there. She told me that she was emailing Sony Ericsson and would attach all the aforementioned links for them to read.

So I can tell you that Rogers have now contacted Sony Ericsson not only about the minor firmware update we're waiting to get but more importantly about the Froyo update. I'm hoping that a large carrier like Rogers will carry a little more weight with SE and we'll see some real progress soon.
[XPERIA X10 General] un1bomber:
thanks a ton for doing this!

I know robbers is usually always a step slow in doing things, but I guess its not their fault this time for once!
[XPERIA X10 General] ratheen:
does anyone know if the FW update has been received for UK Generic X10i ?
[XPERIA X10 General] Fuzalert2k:
Has anyone ever thought about the fact that it can actually be GOOGLE that is preventing Sony Ericsson from getting Froyo early? Google has full authority over android, and don't they have say on which phones gets Froyo, and which don't. Officially at least.
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
@ratheen - Was told by a reliable source within SE today that it would be w/c 21st June 2010 (had to put the year for complete clarity!).. He's trying to confirm exact timescales.. but he was quite certain it would be that week.
[XPERIA X10 General] ratheen:
Thanks IceMan
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
@fuzalert2k - I've made the same comment about a month ago.. and I don't suppose the SE would want to own up to this in the public domain because it would make them look weak.. the problem of course, is that saying nothing is proving worse.. their best course of action could be to say - We won't get our hand on 2.2 until dd/mm/yy and it will take us c.xx days to build our UXP into it.. however our 2.1 release has the following additional feature which improve performance.. and will go some way towards delivering the sort of performance levels seen in native 2.2.. when we release our 2.2 update it's performance will exceed that of 2.2 native and we will also have resolved the bugs seen in current handsets operating on that version of android.

(or something like that!!)..
[XPERIA X10 General] T.W.G:
Hi,

would be VERY nice if Sony not only adresses software issues. They have to fix the speaker for calling!nThe x10 is simply useless as a phone because the in call volume is just too low.

Any news on this?
[XPERIA X10 General] rvictorg:
Yeah I was kinda surprised too! They sincerely hadn't heard a thing from SE and ultimately at the end of the day want to please their customers despite how much they criminally rip us all off. Just a product of living under a communications cartel here in Canada. Rogers is still hands down the best option, and if you deal with their Retentions or The Office of the President they are actually VERY helpful and you often get what you want--probably because they're the only ones with any kind of brains/authority to do anything.
[XPERIA X10 General] tiggerbcn:

Can someone provide the OTA files? (S0-01B)

I think they can be pulled with ADB at the moment the X10 asks for reboot. (folder should be /cache/fota/ )

I'm in Denmark as well, though I use Telmore and my phone was bought unlocked and unbranded and I have R1FB001.

It might be because your phone is locked to 3, they have to clear the firmware before you can download it.

Whenever I have anything plugged into my headphones jack, my phone starts to freak out. If I'm playing music it will randomly play, pause, skip, seek, and even bring up the voice dialer. Has anybody had a similar problem, or do I need to visit Sprint? Any replies appreciated.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blaster17363:
Bump. Please help guys, I don't know if I should return the phone or not
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rutter9:
Is it for all headphones/audiocables? Look inside the jack and see if you have the two little metal pieces that push in. Those are what tells the phone is plugged in.

Sounds like you might have stuck a cable in at an angle by accident and bent one of them or thrown off the sensors
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blaster17363:
They're fine, and even if that was the case I would expect it to not recognize headphones, but the problems I am having make no sense :confused:

Have you tried different head phones?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gqstatus0685:
bring the phone back.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nowhereusa:
My only thought is are you using headphones with a Mic and an "action" button. If you have press the button it will play or pause the music. If you hold it down it will open the Voice dialer app. If it has the mic and button maybe there is a fault with it, hence the randomness. If you are just using headphones check the headphone icon, if its recognizing it right should just show headphones and not a headphones with a boom mic on the status bar. Either try dif mic headphones or take it back to the store
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djwaz:
Me too

hey I am having the same problem, I use doggcatcher as my podcast player and when I have my headphones (no mic) plugged in, randomly my phone starts playing other previously downloaded podcasts over the one Im listening to in the phones stock music player, then it skips forward, backwards, then the voice dialer comes on and this is all while my phone is locked and the screen wake / power button has not been touched!

Whats going on????
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drbadass:
having a similar problem as well and have seen it mentioned on other forums. so far no definitive fix. i'm pissed. if this turns out to be a faulty hardware issue or somethign that isn't easily solved, it's a dealbreaker. I'll take the phone back and sprint will lose a customer.

hopefully it won't come to that.

I was having this problem using a double male cable to plug into my aux input in my car. I was able to make it bring up voice dialer consistently by bending the end of the cable. I bought a new cable and the problem is gone now.. even when bending and twisting the new cable. My new cable has gold plated ends and the old one did not.. not sure if that matters, and I don't care as long as it keeps working.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scaots:
I also took the tape off and checked the connection point and best I can tell it looks like it is hitting just right so no adjustments there.

I have the same issue using a double male cable for my car aux. I also noticed it once with one pair of headphones.

I just experimented a little with a cheap pair of computer speakers. I found that jiggling the connection seems to cause the icon to change from headphones to headset and that is when voice dialing pops up. I tried the same thing with my moderately priced earbuds with gold plated plug and could not cause the same issues with those. The jacks appear to be exactly the same physical size.

I plan to try a different cable in the car when I can.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scaots:
BTW - I also have near zero FM reception. I was only able to get one pair of headphones to weakly tune a few stations. Any other cheap turner works great in same location.

And yes it is definitely plugged in all the way.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolguy949:
They worked perfectly with my computer speakers. But they definitely went crazy in my car. I think the plug is slightly different. It must have pushed it back in to its old position because my computer speakers started acting crazy when I plugged them in again.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Minjin:
I had this problem today using a cable into the aux input to my car. Stereo was full of static and voice commands and such were going crazy. Sitting here in front of the computer with just the aux cable in hand, plugging it in showed that the phone recognized it as a headset and not headphones. It also started playing stuff randomly. I tried a few other headphones (much higher quality) and got some random effects but not as pronounced. However, I noticed that when I worked the plug around, the problems seemed to go away. I just put the plug in and out a number of times and rotated it side to side for a while and now I think its good. It now recognizes my aux cable as just headphones. I guess that connector in the jack finally got worked into the place it is supposed to be.

So, long story short, work the plug around a bunch (in and out and rotate) and the problem should go away.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wfrandy:
I did the same thing, then when I looked at it closer I noticed that the contact wasn't moving much when I plugged the jack into it. So I bent the contact down a bit and it works fine now, haven't had a problem since.

I just held the top part flat with a screw driver and gently pushed down on the tip that contacts the jack with a scribe until it bent slightly. Didn't take much.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clocker6633:
I was having the same problem with my first Evo. I use a radioshack 2.5mm double ended male jack to go from my phone to my aux input in my car stereo for listening to Pandora.

I found that sometimes when I plugged this jack into the phone it would register it as a mic'd input, showing the little headset with mic icon at the top of the screen. Then whenever I would move or bump the phone it would go into a voice dial. It was extremely frustrating.

I found that I could keep unplugging and replugging it in until the proper headset icon without the mic option showed in the notification area and then the problem would be fixed. It was always a crap shoot though, which mode plugging it in would produce.

I was going to try a different cable but never got the chance. I exchanged the phone for another because of an unrelated issue. I've been using the same cable just as with my first Evo and the problem has yet to arise again.

Bad jack input?
