what do you want root for ?

is it only for tethering, installing new firmware and some more fluff ?

Stick with your x10 if it is only for those 2 reasons. You can tether with some payd software ( free if you don't use any sort protected connection , https )

you're gonna maybe impress your friends for a minute or 2 and you will get sick of changing firmware every single days

magic/dream favorite users firmware = cyanogen rom because it simple , fast and no fluff

you won't care about 2.2 fluff after a week or 2

you won't impress any girls with some soft fluff. You're phone body AND your own body might impress girls

Now

a good reason to go with another phone might something like mini usb ? do you like mini usb ?

Discussion about the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 (general Q&A, tips & tricks)
[XPERIA X10 General] hoss_n2:
it depends on your needs ,x10 recently has no root and may be forever ,but it is a good pice of hardware better than desire in every point of comparison but the problem that will face the x10 may be in the coming few monthes is the support allot of apps are going to require android 2.1 as a minimum requirement ,and as we all know sony will not update until the end of the year and for 2.1 only ,at this time all phones will be carring 2.2 and may be 2.3 so you will face compitability issues again ,if you care for a long time support that is achived by root then go for desire ,if not and you care more for hardware go for x10 . best wishes with your choice :)
[XPERIA X10 General] apetit:
There is more than meets the eye with 2.1 and especially 2.2. instead of just extra fluffiness.
[XPERIA X10 General] imugur:
The question here is if anyone is working on rooting X10. I don't miss to many functionalities anyway, the only thing I am scared is that 1.6 will be less and less supported with new applications in the market. By that time hopefully 2.1 will appear.

Relax.root will be here this weekend.

Nostradamus
[XPERIA X10 General] ashman84:
HELLO?? android 2.2... there are so many improvements over 1.6 for eg. support for FLASH!

removing all the random sh*t that SE has put like moxier etc. And the sheer joy of having better faster and sleeker roms which will really take the x10 to a whole new level.

I love my x10 and inspite of ppl telling me otherwise, i think its a great phone with immense potential. But as I see it, we're using the phone at 50% capacity.

For ppl who dont think root is important, you dont know wat ur talkin about.
[XPERIA X10 General] ashman84:
Just another failed prediction for u eh Nostra.. lol
[XPERIA X10 General] hoss_n2:
it seems not . we are still far away from root . please don't post fake posts ,people may believe you
[XPERIA X10 General] Vilam:
+1 to you guy.
[XPERIA X10 General] leobg:
I guess you guys don't get the irony in this post?! You are so obsessed with that root??! Relax. Apparently SE have done good job securing the device. I wish they have spent their efforts making software it runs as good as the security is... No root would have been necessary then
[XPERIA X10 General] Vilam:
I found teh irony when I read the ashman's post, after I posted ^^
[XPERIA X10 General] Teio:
What i want from root is to take out from my phone all the SE rubbish that came with the phone like Moxier and the rest... and also to run better roms, that will run faster and better on this phone than this crap that came loaded into it..

Last but not the least, be capable of running the software at full capacity, ie, all the memory that this phone have... i don't see any reason why SE have released a phone with that amount of memory with a software that doesn't support it... some may say that SE were thinking on the upgrade to 2.1 at the end of the year, but wait, WHY THE HECK do i have to wait till the end of the year to have an OS that will be already obsolete by then...

The only reason I'm keeping this phone, is because it is an awesome piece of hardware... i really like it.. although I'm gonna really regret it when i find out that SE was lying when said that they are working on the battery life issues...

I really hope that they change their mind and upgrade it to 2.2 or even 2.3 if it is avaiable...

And also hope that it doesn't come loaded with their stuff, like timescape and moxier... i just want the clean and pure Android OS, without any additional crap... I know that it will only be achieved by root anyways... IF root comes...

SE's track record for updating their devices has been poor at best, even when they promised they would, like with the X1. Although to your benefit, GOOGLE themselves have said that they will be moving to a once (or was it twice, maximum) a year update model next year. But the problem is, who knows how many more updates there will be until then. The problem is that the X10 occupies the timeline of here and now, and if it doesn't get rooted any time soon, you will be at SE's mercy. I'd go with another HTC device for safety of future roots and future-proofing. I'm running 2.1 on a 2007 HTC Tytn II lol, and love it! I just miss the big screen though.
[XPERIA X10 General] arcticreaver:
Problem with android OS is that the OS evolves too quick. So when u have custom UI, that phone will be left in the dust until customization can be made.

So I hope root can be achieved because waiting for SE and there updates have been a joke so far.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irishrally:
I always wipe cache/dalvik cache, battery settings and rotate setting before flashing a new kernel. I have heard people suggesting it is good to wipe all the above after flashing the new kernel as well. Is there a reason for doing this? Is it really helping anything?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
There is no reason to wipe anything while doing a kernel upgrade.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djmcnz:
I disagree.

It's always advisable to wipe at least dalvik-cache when changing kernels.

Indeed, the preferred, no loss, logical and recommended thing to do is always wipe cache and dalvik-cache when you upgrade /boot/ or /system/.

Any new rom, kernel or radio - wipe cache and dalvik-cache. It costs you nothing and eliminates most issues people experience.

I've just changed my rom, Kang-o-rama, to force wipe cache and dalvik-cache because not enough people follow simple instructions.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cr0wnest:
Just wondering... If i wipe cache will i lose all my data and settings/preferences? Especially data in my apps like messaging...etc?

Because i plan to try this out before updating to FRF85B, ive heard claims that wiping cache helps improve speed though some stated otherwise.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JonInAtl:
nope .......
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cr0wnest:
Thanks, maybe i'll try that out before i flash to FRF85B and see if theres any difference.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leonnib4:
Agree.

Wipe dalvik-cache
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sindroid:
Wipe Dalvik but leave the other. I have had Batterylife dropping horribly after wiping my cache. But i reflashed my radio and all was back to normal. So not a Kernel issue.

But i would leave cache alone no matter what and wipe it if you experience any boot problems.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sk8t3rdud3:
Thanks

Thanks for asking this questions. I was going to ask the same one but I just came here and read the answer already. Sweet..
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smoosh1:
I want to flash franco kernel with TWRP.

Is it advisable or necessary to wipe dalvik AFTER flashing the kernel? Would it do any harm if I didn't wipe dalvik after flashing?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djmcnz:
You should always wipe caches to be safe, they may contain unexpected data. If you don't wipe and your device operates correctly then no problem.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smoosh1:
I've always been flashing franco kernel with FKU. Next time I want to flash with TWRP, just to see how it goes. Thanks for your reply, I'll wipe dalvik after flashing then.

...To have the bloody thing read an SMS message?

I have looked, but cannot find this though I know it can do it.
[HD2 General] glcK23:
I'm still trying to figure out the command to make it wash my dishes.

:p
[HD2 General] TechnoHippie:
Based on what I've seen, MS voice command doesn't work right on the HD2. It wont read your SMS messages - and even worse it won't announce your incoming caller's info either.

Someone out here on the forum talked to HTC about the problem & they know about it (not that they've fixed it)
[HD2 General] Camusa:
Thank you for that.

I spoke to a rep at Tmo and one at HTC and both said they were unsure that the device cold do this.

I told them I was POSITIVE that it is supposd to be able to do it, but no one had an answer.

Appreciate the info.
[HD2 General] rabilancia:
I've been using MS Voice Command to read the subject of urgently marked e-mail messages for a number of years on various WM devices. On my TMOUSA HD2 it almost works--only about the first half of the subject is read aloud. The second half gets read aloud when the next e-mail message is received.

It seems like is must be a filled/over-filled buffer problem/bug.
[HD2 General] skylover:
Anybody encounter this issue?

I checked the internal and external memory card, both still have more than 40% of free space.
[HD2 General] skylover:
anybody can help me?
[HD2 General] Keepingitrealz:
Your phone memory is prob really low, maybe under 9mg or something like that

You might need to unistall some programs from the phone and on to your memory card instead :)
[HD2 General] pakure:
yes, it happens when your internal memory is less. uninstall some files on the internal memory. it happened with me after i installed lot of gameloft games...they install on device.
[HD2 General] hsnhmzgl:
maybe you can try installing youtube on your storage card. the cab can be found in m.youtube.com/app
[HD2 General] Stu1973:
I get this alot too, go to file manager, windows, youtube, menu, edit, select all, back to menu, delete. And also go to Opera, and clear the cache
[HD2 General] pakure:
delete cache files in applications/album and google maps cache..also install the new gmaps 4.x version on the sd card and uninstall the older version on the internal memory..........it helped me and now i have 50 MB free space
[HD2 General] spike15_mk:
Today I have experience some problems with the phone, so I decided to do hard reset. First I pull out the SD card(HD2 turned off), and I inserted into my lap top with adapter in order to backup my pictures and music and to format the card. I backup the data, but when I tried to format the card, I get message "windows was unable to complete the format". I also tried with several other options like: cmd format, safe mode format, sdformatter 2.0 but nothing help. The strangest thing is that I can delete the files(normally, I enter the card and via shift+delete on files), but after refresh on the windows explorer the files are back! I also tried with another laptop, I double checked the safty switch on the left side of the SD card, I even try to format via HD2, but files are always back. Nothing helps.:confused::confused:

I apriciate assistance please

p.s SD card is SanDisk 2 Gb.

I'm on Froyo 2.2 (well, the test image that's out) on a Nexus One.

I read about the new swipe for number bad feature here:

REPLACE.androidcentral.com/froyo-feature-better-stock-android-keyboard

However, it seems intermittently unrealiable on mine, particularly when I use it in Messaging. Sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. Has anybody else noticed that? Any tips to get it to always trigger?

Also, I read that in 2.1 you could trigger voice input by swiping left-to-right.

REPLACE.androidcentral.com/quick-tip-swipe-keyboard-bring-voice-input-21

I can't seem to get this working in 2.2 at all (and I've never used 2.1). Has anybody else got this working? If so, any particular tips I could check? (I've tried both having the Mic button on main keyboard and symbols keyboard, neither made a difference).

Other people seem to report something similar, just not sure if this is verified, or how common the issue is?

REPLACE.nexusoneforum.net/forum/nexus-one-general-discussion/6199-keyboard-question-after-froyo-update.html

REPLACE2.forum.androidcentral.com/google-nexus-one/13734-slide-voice-input-working-poorly-froyo.html

I do find the Android keyboard a little weird and inaccurate, probably just still getting used to it (only day 3).

[HD2 General] 8255daw:
my question is this.when i bought my hd2 they had to switch my internet connection from droid to windows mobile.now when i put my sim card in my g1 the internet doesnt work.is there any way around this problem?i was really. looking forward to switching phones from time to time.
[HD2 General] Tm5078:
i doubt its you plan it sounds like you need to set up data provisioning on the G1
[HD2 General] 8255daw:
how would that explain that it worked fine until i changed phones?plus the guy said i just have to switch your data plan from android to windows mobile.as i was checking out,
[HD2 General] freeincolorado:
There are different data services that T-Mobile offers. I had to call and have them switch it when I recieved my Hd2 from Android data to standard data. Same for my gf when she switched from a Motorola Cliq (what a pos that was) to a BB Curve (not much better IMHO). They all cost the same and I would bet they are the same service. It must be a book keeping thing. There is probably no way around it, other than a call to customer service.
[HD2 General] kcaj32:
T-Mobile does have a way to separate the data plan for Android devices. At least I know its different for the G1.

I purchased the HD2 as a new line with data. I then canceled my G1 line and factory reset the G1. I put in the sim from my HD2 into the G1 but did not get data. I added an Android data plan on my wife's sim card and put that into the G1 and it works great.

So yes, T-Mobile has a different type of a plan for android devices, at least for the G1.
[HD2 General] kcaj32:
I also recently called in and told them I need to switch between the G1 and the HD2 on the same sim every other day. They said I'll have to call each time to change the data plan for it to work.

I asked them isn't there a data plan that works for both phones, the answer was no.
[HD2 General] 8255daw:
well its good to know that at least they'll switch it when you call in.
[HD2 General] freeincolorado:
I was told by a rep it takes 2 to 48 hours to switch data services.
[HD2 General] jasecloud4:
You could just figure out a way for the G1 to spoof it's identity as a WinMo device. Oh wait...that's not allowed...lolol.

On a serious note, the phones identify themselves in such a way as the T-mobile system knows if your using Android/WinMo/BB. Is it stupid? Absolutely. Can we do anything about it...not really...at least legally...lol.
[HD2 General] Kid Poker:
Well when I had my Nexus One, I came from an iPhone so I had the regular Unlimited Web instead of the Android Web. I popped in my sim card w/o switching anything and surprisingly it worked right away, after I had everything set up then I called to switch. I then switched to the BlackBerry so I changed the internet to the BlackBerry Unlimited, and now using an iPhone as well on the BB Data Plan.
[HD2 General] palosjr:
I switch quite frequently between my HD2, a TouchPro2, Nexus One, and a G1 and my data works in all of them. No calling a rep, no having to switch plans... i havent had any problems with anything so far.
[HD2 General] aceo07:
I'm on the Android Unlimited Web plan. It works for my G1 and HD2.

The customer service rep will tell you that you need to switch and they are not compatible, but it is for me and other people. There was an older thread where other people also have it set up with the Android Unlimited Web.

I switched to back to Android Unlimited Web before since I wanted to test some things on my G1, and didn't switch back when I realized it also worked with my HD2. The other plan does NOT work with the G1, only the HD2.
[HD2 General] acoope2667:
My SIM worked fine

I just got an HD2 on Craigslist. I have the G1 data plan and when I put my SIM into the HD2 everything worked fine. My internet. text mms. all are working just fine. I don't think there is a real need to change your data services with the carrier.

i went to my sprint store today to make sure everything was good for me to charge it to my account and guess what none of that was mentioned, it's first come first serve. this isn't at&t and this isn't some new iphone, i remember at&t screwed new customers that way over a new iphone.
[EVO 4G General] mrjkwik:
actually, my sprint store said that new lines had first dibs, then upgrades/buyouts, and then outright purchases. based on a first come first serve bases per category. doesnt make much sense, unless they are going to just organize us like a bunch of kindergardners when we file in the store.

and my local store is only getting 9 phones. had 10 people on their "list", and only 4 were new lines.

intouch

if you go to a intouch wireless store you can pre-deposit for a phone. i hooked up two for tomorrow and when i left he said they had 14 more. this was the woodinville, wa location.

it seems they are receiving anywhere from 15-25 phones for launch day.

i also got my name on the list at an official sprint store (which I won't be using it turns out) and when i went to visit the manager assured me that as long as i got my name on the list i was gonna get a phone. I was number 32 though and he did state that they were only going to get 30 originally but they had more ordered for everyone on the list so he said no worries. this was the northgate seattle, wa store.
[EVO 4G General] entropism:
Way to overreact bud. Like I said, Sprint corporate policy is strictly FIRST COME FIRST SERVE. If you don't get it tomorrow, you'll get it Monday or Tuesday.
[EVO 4G General] MrDSL:
I believe they make more commission of new lines and since they paid by commission they like to lie and tell customers new lines get first dibs.

So it does not surprise me some Sprint stores would do this.
[EVO 4G General] cwbeasley:
Lol, actually no. Why a new line over an existing line? Simple: You are guaranteed to make the sale in a new line, because you're 100% sure the line is elig for the upgrade. Some existing lines like to say "But I've been with Sprint FOREVER, they OWE me this phone," and then you find out they aren't elig until NEXT MONTH. Existing lines with Sprint customers are a gamble because they're constantly trying to get something because of their tenure. New line, no fuss, just a sale.
[EVO 4G General] chris44gw:
Dude. Go to the BB in metairie by the mall if you want it. I pre ordered mine last friday and I'm getting it next week when the 2nd shipment comes in.

Sprint online ordering is shipping out today. Should have Monday, Tuesday at the latest. I spoke with a rep and she said the online orders are going in front of all the Sprint Telesales, they just process faster.

Sprints off contract price is less anyways.
[EVO 4G General] Xenithflare:
Well, actually, his answer was extremely accurate. It does indeed make the most sense to limit stock to new customers; it earns the store more money, and the employees more money. That said... I don't agree with it from an ethical standpoint. I prefer the first-come, first-serve approach.

Though you definitely hit the nail on the head at the bolded line above :p

at the moment u cant load android on the hd2!

dcordes and the other guys who r working on the "linux on htc hd2" project made a functional kernel but there isnt a working android version yet. it will take a while until they will get android on it. i really dont know how much time it will take but it could take 1 year more or less i think.
[HD2 General] zarathustrax:
It could be a very long time before there's a port thats as functional as a phone made for android. There still isn't a perfect android port for any winmo phone yet, and some of them have had android being developed for years. If you want to use android full time, get an android phone, not a winmo phone. Even if there's a bootable port soon for the hd2, it won't be very functional and wont be able to use some of the phones hardware (bluetooth, wifi, camera, etc). I'm not expecting a fully functional port for a year or 2.... if ever.
