[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] wesleyrpg:
yeah i'd like to know about this fix as well......not that i have any problems with energy rom and radio 2.12!

is there a cab that us telstra customers need to apply?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Here is the Telstra band cab.

Also, you'll find battery usage depends a LOT on your location...ie how good a signal you get. 2 people on the same ROM/radio can have very different results. If you are on the edge of a 3G network where the reception comesd and goes, you'll have higher battery usage as the phone keeps searching for a signal.

I'm on Telstra, and with my ROM I get several days usage.

If you're having freezing/other issues, I'd suggest you post in NRG's thread to request help.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] stealthdragonb:
I have also got this phone and am wih vodafone in melbourne and am using the 2.14.50.04 radio and this gives the best battery life so far, usually for 10 hours of standby I only loose 4%. I tried 2.15.50.14 the other day but the battery life isn't as good as 2.14. Thought I might mention this incase those people in Aus want to be kept up to date with their radio.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] khali34374:
can I have to link for this ROM 19 june. plus the Radio
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] GLO:
Hi, i know this is old, but its relevant.

Your issue is a faulty motherboard. Get it replaced under warranty. But do not send it to the Telstra Repair Centre, because they dont test it long enough to see the fault. Try Fonebiz in your state! Trust me, mine 2 HD2s went to Telstra Repair Centre twice and came back saying no fault found.

then within 10mins of leaving the store it would lock up.

I use Energy Roms and radio 2.15.xx.xx

Posting there wont help, as its a device issue. Plus its a mamoth thread now.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] aaronx12:
which phone systems are telestra compatible with?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] nrfitchett4:
You might want to try the newer roms, those are quite old.

I had the same problem, couldn't even charge the phone while backlight was on without it overheating.

Decided to avoid the run around and flashed a radio I knew would brick my phone. Then played stupid (I'm good at that).
[XPERIA X10 General] fadimck:
Dears,

I had HD2 and it was stolen, accordingly i started search journey to buy a new phone, I was amazed by Android OS and the best Spec sheet is found under X10 but there is a lot of limitations on the current version and the most important that the market is not enabled in my region (Egypt).

Comparing it to other phones mentioned above (SATIO, iPhone4 and N8) I will be confused.

I want to have stable OS, good camera, Powerfull Web Browser, Exchange program, lot of program to try and no problem to buy

And all the above including the X10 have it all.

YOUR ADVICE PLEASEEEE

----------------

Thanks for the support, I bought the X10 on Thu 24th of June 2010....
[XPERIA X10 General] fadimck:
Feedback after using the X10

Here is my story with X10 after 1 day of usage.

Since this is the first time to me to use the Android system, so I noticed that it is (from the interface side) a mix between iPhone and WM but it is much better faster and stable.

Network Reception ... Perfect

GPS reception ... Perfect

OS ... Perfect

Phone Dialer ... Similar to the iPhone one

Messaging ... Similar to the WM one

Browser ... Perfect in English sites not the Arabic one

Arabic support ... Very Poor (supposed to be supported in next Update 2.1)

Navigation program ... perfect as a 30 days trials and the 12 month upgrade will cost me 70Euro (costly some how but i will buy it as there is no alternative).

Android Market ... Medium in terms of paid programs (as Document2Go) and Perfect for the free programs (when Google will be able to give us access to the paid market).

Camera ... File size and quality is more than perfect but I've noticed that the image contrast is very High and I couldn't adjust it and there is a problem in the flash must be activated from the advanced menu every time i want to use it (stupid).

Exchange program ... Very powerful since it is for free (Roadsync which is a paid program is VERY powerful than the stock one). The problem is that i cannot set a frequent Sync other than push (which consume the battery to the maximum).

Battery life ... After 12 hours extensive usage there are 37% remaining power in the battery (which is good since i used a lot today , GPS, Camera, WEB, Exchange, messaging and Market).

Build quality ... So Far So Good

This is my initial feedback and will be followed by another feedback soon...

Depend on what is important for you in a mobile :) Satio? I think only reason to buy a Satio is camera :) is N8 out?
[XPERIA X10 General] kingcasper:
get the x10..its better than the nokia and the iphone is only better if your more suited with all that apple crap..if u plan to keep the x10 for a while itll have its updated thatll give u more options with time..and the Iphone/x10 have tons of apps/games and stuff..

i have no knowledge of this Satio..
[XPERIA X10 General] fadimck:
I'm a moderate user, I want touch, stable OS, access to exchange, lot of programs to try and no problem to buy, good camera, very powerful web browser

so can you advice?
[XPERIA X10 General] fadimck:
Thanks, I own a MacBook Pro, so I used on Apple crab :)

but at the same time I don't change my mobile a lot (I still have my Nokia E90 and it is in Excellent shape). so what I'm doing is studying the market very well and take expert opinion and then decide to buy a mobile that will last at least 2 years with me.

thanks for the advice
[XPERIA X10 General] thunderpossuem:
satio is not so great. resistive screen, old symbian and an apparently laggy interface. if you want a s.e. symbian i'd go with a vivaz pro, if you want any symbian device, i'd go and n8 otherwise x10 is the way to go.
[XPERIA X10 General] ixemun:
if you post a poll here, surely X10 will win, but anyway

Satio - if I'm not mistaken Satio has a 12MP camera, but the OS is Symbian, from past experience the Symbian OS were great until the N series came along, since then I find the OS quite laggy and somewhat outdated so I decided to stop using Nokia phones along with any Symbian OS related phones

N8 - not much to say since it's not out yet, as you read above I'm not as impressed with Symbian OS as I used to anymore, I'd suggest you should wait until the phone is released and look for reviews

iPhone 4 - to me it's another iPhone 3Gs, with video calling as long as you're connected to a wifi and bits of improvement on the hardware, next thing you know a year after Apple will release iPhone 4G/4s/something with bits of improvement over iPhone 4 (maybe like video calling without the need of a wifi, since last I check, iPhone 4 is only 3G)

X10 - the reason I prefer X10 over everything is because of Android OS, it's constantly growing and with version 2.2 (froyo), it shows that it can be better than iPhone's OS, we'll probably not be getting 2.2 from SE, but recent news that we have root (that enables us to use 2.2 as long as someone is willing on making a custom 2.2 ROM for X10). Hardware wise X10 may not be better than some Android phone, but it's one of the few with decent hardware and design
[XPERIA X10 General] wertzius:
U can debrand ur Phone, then u will have the market! I know some guys in the U.A.E. have done this!
[XPERIA X10 General] winnerzero:
I was a bit hesitant on moving from Windows Mobile to Android as well previously, but now that I got the X10 and used Android have absolutely no regrets and never looked back since. It really puts Window Mobile to shame I think. Don't like the iphone simply because of all the hype and its closed nature, I like to own my phone not be told what I can and can't use on it. Also, still think that X10 is the best looking phone out there. Camera is great, especially if you know what settings to use and the stock browser is great to use, even though there are plenty other browsers out there. The only thing that annoyed me was SE's keyboard implementation which everyone hates. Using the Android keyboard or HTC's solved that problem. Was never a fan of symbian so X10 wins I reckon. Just be sure to buy it knowing that it takes a while for SE to give updates.
[XPERIA X10 General] mtechfan:
+1 Exactly how I feel. I returned my X2 and got the X10 instead.

I would never give a cent nof my money to Apple. They "re-invent" ideas already out there and put an iSpin on it. Then they have the audacity to try to sue any competition claiming they copied Apple, they even tried to sued a non profit organization from NEW YORK for using an apple on their logo.

BTW, you don't need market to install apps on your phone. Look up "Astro".
[XPERIA X10 General] gaolinde:
if the options are galaxy nexus something im not sure which i ll chose

but with these option x10 is the only answer for me
[XPERIA X10 General] Cinner:
I have seen some sample HD video's taken by the iPhone 4 camera, and the quality is much better than any phone I've seen, including the X10. Picture wise, the the iPhone and X10 are probably about equal, but the N8 should be better than both. I haven't really seen any video samples taken by the N8, but I suspect it's pretty damn good at that as well, so if camera is very important I'd go for the iPhone or N8.

In a few months time the X10 will get HD video recording as well, so who knows how it will hold its own by that time.

Operating system wise, the X10 probably wins by a fair amount. Plus the hardware looks great.
[XPERIA X10 General] gaolinde:
haha should those fruit seller get a license from apple before they can sell an apple?
[XPERIA X10 General] hoss_n2:
x10 is the best choice for now i have both hd2 and x10 ,x10 is much more fun ,and with respect to the limitations x10 is rooted and all issues will be fixed isa
[XPERIA X10 General] Mano1982:
X10 then ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] fadimck:
Nice choice, will check its review on GSM Arena
[XPERIA X10 General] fadimck:
totally agree with you regarding the poll issue but i wants the experts opinion regarding the X10 (which i prefer more but i don't want to waste my money)

Are you sure about the 2.2 issue as I read today that SE will release 2.1 not 2.2
[XPERIA X10 General] fadimck:
cannot understand what do you mean by debrand ....
[XPERIA X10 General] fadimck:
I feel the same way as I was using the HD2 and it is the best in its category now I want to change to another OS that is more stable without having any problems as the one i faced in HD2
[XPERIA X10 General] fadimck:
can you tell me how to install app without the need to the Market? in WM I used to place the source file in the SD and install it from the explorer, it is the same here with X10?
[XPERIA X10 General] fadimck:
Thank you Sir
[XPERIA X10 General] fadimck:
interesting news about the photo quality of iPhone although it is 5MP and X10 is 8MP??
[XPERIA X10 General] fadimck:
I see that you are from Egypt too, can you provide the needed advice, which is better?

do you have the Market enabled or you used the Market enabler?

any restrictions in GPS? what about the Arabic support? which one did you use?
[XPERIA X10 General] fadimck:
Thank you Sir..
[XPERIA X10 General] hoss_n2:
i had market enabled out of box , gps works good,finally there is no arabic but there is app in market to read arabic and write arabic and the x10 is rooted yesterday ,so we can add arabic support easily. finally you can join us on the group in my signature
[XPERIA X10 General] Mano1982:
If you install a file manager like "Astro file manager", and get .apk file of any application on your SD card f.ex., then you'll able to install it on phone :)
[XPERIA X10 General] Cinner:
There is more to picture quality than mega pixels. In this case, more pixels could just mean bigger files, not nicer pictures. But until someone compares the x10 with the iphone, we won't know. Video quality is another story: the iphone wins easily.
[XPERIA X10 General] ixemun:
well, as I stated "we'll probably not getting 2.2 from SE", but if you look at the Android Development section of X10 thread, devs have acquired "root" for X10, by "root", it can enable us to install custom ROMs into the X10 and practically do whatever we want with the phone.

As long as someone is willing to create a custom 2.2 ROM for the X10, we can have Android 2.2 for X10, but that requires patience... lots of patience... otherwise in terms of performance, iPhone 4 beats X10 version 1.6 hands down
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
Maybe now... But we get hd video later this year too. Ned to compare apples with apples....

this is GREAT news begad, how much ? 4,200? which guarantee?
[XPERIA X10 General] ixemun:
I don't think statistics are needed, and I'm not talking about hardware wise, I'm comparing iPhone OS against X10's 'donut', noticeable lags when scrolling between home pages, not as smooth when using the stock browser, UI is buggy even some had their home replaced for battery improvement and smooth scrolling.

Issues which a lot of people hoping to be resolved when SE updates the X10 to 2.1 or X10 users installing custom 2.2 ROMs through root, by then we can have a fair (or not) comparison between both phones.
[XPERIA X10 General] fadimck:
but i believe this unfair from your side as iPhone 4 is not released yet and I know that X10 is faster than iPhone 3Gs
[XPERIA X10 General] gr3yh0und:
^ I think you should not just judge the Android OS so easily, its just been a year since its released. and Iphone OS is released like 3 years ago. On its first release its buggy too and many limited options. But looking up at Android OS at its first start. It became a good competitor to Iphone OS. Right know even though Iphone OS is matured and getting polished, its been struggling too and having a good fight with Android OS. And Android OS is at par with that and getting better every firmware update. :D
[XPERIA X10 General] mtechfan:
Exactly! Android devices have now outsold iPhone as well. Considering how fast Android has grown, Apple is probably very worried, enough so that they tried to sue HTC over android features (because they cant take on Google). So you have to ask yourself, why is apple worried? Because Androids potential is EPIC!
[XPERIA X10 General] fadimck:
very logical
[XPERIA X10 General] Mano1982:
Eh Sorry, I don't know :o Must be a way, but i'm too noob :( Sorry

[XPERIA X10 General] Mano1982:
Have you used iPhone 4? If not, how can you say it beats X10? ;)

I've found X10 very smooth & fast. Replacing home launcher is a matter of taste also, And it's free & without problem. Just install & use.
[XPERIA X10 General] ddewbofh:
I've used iOS4 a lot and honestly it's not that great. There are some "innovations" it should've had from 1.0 but it's nice to see that they finally implemented them.

But all that is diminished by Apple's rape of developer rights. The additions to their developer agreements scare me and as an activist for digital rights it became impossible for me to accept them. So I ditched the overhyped POS and went with something I know inside out, Linux.

(And no, I will never, ever use the phrase GNU/Linux. What I think of rms can't be told in polite company :)
[XPERIA X10 General] Mano1982:
Thanks ddewbofh for telling that :) (Your nick is difficult :p, I've to scroll over 4 times to write your name correctly :p)
[XPERIA X10 General] ddewbofh:
Hehe, sorry. Started out easier (ddew) which are my initials and then someone added the bofh bit when I was working as a sys-/netadmin. :)
[XPERIA X10 General] wrongfeifong:
There is no point to compare iphone to x10.

It is like comparing a Apple Mac to any thing with window 7.

Phone speed wise, everything is super fast as long you don't pick up 500 apps that runs at the same time.

since 1GHZ is pretty much the standard of the smart phone now.

I think you are better off with an Evo 4g since they have 2.1 already.
[XPERIA X10 General] ixemun:
Don't get me wrong, I'm not comparing them hardware wise (I'd be lying if I say iPhone 4G is better since I'm anti-apple yet trying not to be too biased about it)

The only concern is the software SE cooked up, it's limiting the phone to make use of that beast of a snapdragon, timescape is a little bit laggy, the screen at times is non-responsive on mediascape (I'm on baseband 1.0.21)

I'm just saying, the current X10's donut, isn't much, when we get the latest version of Android, then we'll see the near-full potential of X10's hardware capabilities

---

side note : replacing home launcher can make a huge difference, I'm using ADWLauncher and loving it.
[XPERIA X10 General] ddewbofh:
Another sidenote:

The latest leaked update R2BA020 feels snappier than R1FB001. After restoring all my backups etc it feels a little bit faster and the battery-life is much improved. So there's definitely potential for the X10 to be really speedy, even with stock updates.
[XPERIA X10 General] noblackthunder:
i totaly agree with tom helge.

and the multitasking on the iphone works realy bad .

i have an x10 as my private phone an an iphone 3gs for work.and no mater what i wanna do, the x10 is always better.

and btw if you conpare the iphone gps and the x10 gps. the x10 gps it 100x better. my iphone strugels geting a good gps signal wille the x10 gets 11 satelites an full signal strengs :D
[XPERIA X10 General] vrs2610:
trust me he new iphone is not a wise choice

it has nothing special or ground breaking

the only respects about it is the new display everything else is done already

i think its best to wait for the next iphone

they will prpbably fix their mistakes and maybe even come out with a iphone 4g

remember how there was iphone then iphone 3g....so yea
[XPERIA X10 General] beetleman:
Well,

Satio- it is an old Symbian OS, camera is the same as one on X10, with HD video recording, and this will also be available on X10. It has poore screen on sun and it has rezistive technology.

N8- well, we dont know what to expect from new Symbian ^3 , so we just have to wait.

iPhone4- also as N8, and it is iPhone, dont like it from the start

X10- well, 1Ghz CPU, Android operating system, for me, this is winner!
[XPERIA X10 General] fadimck:

[XPERIA X10 General] fadimck:
i agree with you regarding OS4 under iPhone 3Gs, I used it yesterday after performing the regular update and yeah those enhancements should have been there from day 1

my point is iPhone 4 is GREAT from the hardware side + the software which is normal as any other OS existing now (of course not an open source OS :) )
[XPERIA X10 General] fadimck:
really thanks for this illustrative review/comparison, you will let me think twice for the X10

and yes I want to know those big ass annoyances is?
[XPERIA X10 General] fadimck:
this is really giving a hope
[XPERIA X10 General] fadimck:
This another point we didn't mention, the GPS

Guys, do we have on Android a GPS navigation program?
[XPERIA X10 General] fadimck:
Thanks for the advice , but i want to buy a phone now, so let us count on your words and exclude iPhone and focus on other phones
[XPERIA X10 General] fadimck:
Thanks man for the advice
[XPERIA X10 General] fadimck:
sorry I have to comment on this point, Satio is equipped with 12MP camera with Xenon flash and dedicated led flash for video recording
[XPERIA X10 General] ddewbofh:
One thing against the iPhone 4. There are reports coming in saying that it works fine for everything except one small detail. Making calls. They say that when you touch the antenna (aka the metal frame) the signal strength goes from four or five bars down to one and sometimes drops the call.

One would think making phone calls is one of the things that they tested before shipping.
[XPERIA X10 General] fadimck:
WOW interesting news from the great Apple phone
[XPERIA X10 General] Evostance:
Android or an iPhone..

Cumon, seriously its not a hard choice.

Android is far superior and the hardware is much more flexible.

Im not going to say the x10, I will leave it up to you.

An Android phone with decent hardware is the same as another Android phone of a similar spec

[XPERIA X10 General] ddewbofh:
It handles multitask just fine...assuming the apps support it. So far few apps do, apart from the Apple-provided ones.

Edit: It's a little scary that apps have to be rewritten to support something that basic.

Yes, I heard that IP4 handles multitask well only with the default apps.
