Still waiting for generic UK here. Will also be checking o2 UK (although it wouldn't make sense if o2 came out first).

I assume now that the update will come on Monday. Although I haven't really had any problems which need fixing and so don't mind waiting.
[XPERIA X10 General] Nankov:
I dont know why you guys get so worked over this little update as we will have the root tutorial soon and we can slap 2.1 or possibly froyo on it and we wont have to wait till september when SE decide to update.
[XPERIA X10 General] black_math:
Its not simply a case of slapping on eclair. I used to have the htc hero before, and the only reason custom 2.1 roms were produced was because of leaked builds. Otherwise progress was slow and difficult.
[XPERIA X10 General] FRiKiNFRoG:
If I can have better battery life for the time being, that's more than enough for me to wait for it. Sure I can't wait for root, but that's another story. And for being on the swedish FW, timescape and mediascape are a lot better than they were, and my battery didn't die in a day, but I'd like to get the Canadian version
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
Hey, I'm going to say something a little crazy...

You guys seriously need to chill. Because this is the internet, it's REALLY hard to tell if you people are being serious or not, but it really freaks me out to see people so worked up over a cell phone.

Life's too precious to get all aggro about a phone not receiving a small update that in reality won't do much. And, to the guy comparing SE to BP... I want you to go to the Gulf of Mexico and start cleaning up the oil yourself. SE released a phone, they didn't destroy an entire economy and ecosystem for decades like BP. Calm the hell down.
[XPERIA X10 General] henryvli:
hey dude relax...

this is xda developers site, we obviously don't have a life, but we do have this cool phone.

well see obviously we felt we waited too long for Sony to release this firmware, when people become inpatient, they sometimes do overreact
[XPERIA X10 General] mayamo:
edit : deleteeeeeeeeee
[XPERIA X10 General] FRiKiNFRoG:
Agreed for the BP part, for the rest, this is the internet, that's the fun part ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
lol. I know it's the internet, but it's really hard to tell if people are being serious.

I'd be concerned if the guy threatening physical violence on a customer support drone was serious.
[XPERIA X10 General] jkr284:
yup, the software fix is coming next week, whereas if this was a SE related issue youd just get a big "**** you" for 6 months. Apple are quick, to the point and when they say they are going to fix/release something, they release it on time...
[XPERIA X10 General] digitall1982:
haha there is NO software fix for hardware failure! epic fail...
[XPERIA X10 General] jkr284:
seeing as the ios4 upgrade does the same thing to the 3gs its software im afraid!
[XPERIA X10 General] gr3yh0und:
Guys

If I upgrade to R2BA020 firmware will I able to root it later once its released?

I want to experience some good changes after all but I'm afraid that if I upgrade it I will lose the chance to root it.
[XPERIA X10 General] Willey1986:
Screw this R2BA020 Update. Lost 50% battery this night, so everything is the same except for some ****ty UI-Improvements.

This is definitively my LAST SE device I ever bought. 3 month are over now and I still cannot use the X10 as a mobile phone. BTW. the volume still sucks too... :mad:
[XPERIA X10 General] anguslaw:
Wow, I just flashed R2BA020, this fix is wonderful, battery probelm gone.
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
I'm still on an older firmware, and I pull two days out of the phone with 3G always on, and updating various SNS and email services.

Really don't know what to make of these "battery" problems.
[XPERIA X10 General] TechGuru_x10:
Will it be possible for you to guide me on this as I am not able to update my firmware, Steps will be appreciated. I am trying SEUS method and not the Flash Tool.... I hope I am correct.

My phone is not from any carrier, it was purchased from Sony Shop.....
[XPERIA X10 General] HunteronX:
It's probably an application using too much CPU - use system panel lite from the market and look at the bar on the left of each app; it shows CPU usage.

R2BA020 is great for me - there's a much better experience. The volume isn't bad in my opinion either, 'cause I can still hear people clearly at about 3/4 of the full volume. Maybe try moving the top of the phone around your ear to find the best point at which you can hear sound from the speaker.
[XPERIA X10 General] Tri3Dent:
People with the new update,

Do you hear the cracking/pop noises when the volume is too high? Did the update fix that? Or is this something hardware issue?
[XPERIA X10 General] anguslaw:
The volume is higher now without the problem you mentioned.
[XPERIA X10 General] madman13:
is there anywhere i can get the update R2BA020 to use with se update thing prefe rapidshare download
[XPERIA X10 General] Bennachie:
Hunteron X where did you get the update? You are in \UK right?
[XPERIA X10 General] kmaximax:
so is the The German O2 R2BA020 firmware the solution to the NO 3G issue of the Telenor for UK users!?
[XPERIA X10 General] Bennachie:
Well it looks like week beginning 21st is nearly over and SE have failed to come across with the goods.

I don't mind that the update is not out yet BUT I am furious that a company will say that x is going to happen on y date and then fail. In my opinion there is absolutely no excuse for this sort of behaviour. If you don't know then don't actually say anything. The greatest sin is to promise something and then renege on that promise.

Months ago they said 'in two weeks' why not just say that an update is coming which will improve matters..............................

Disinformation is significantly worse than no information at all. Very, very poorly organised SE. You really have to look into your PR setup if you are to present as a global company with a respected reputation
[XPERIA X10 General] tiggerbcn:
It has happened exactly the same with that of Telenor, tonight has consumed 40% of battery, all off (gps, wifi, 3g, etc ...), no program running, also, that some programs close by themselves, has happened in several and even mediascape
[XPERIA X10 General] superleeds27:
Lets restore some order around here!

We're not bothered about the Iphone! Yes it's had its flaws and 'Steve Jobs' has old users, not to hold it how there holding it when it causes problems! This is Android Forum, not Iphone!

Regarding the R2B update.

The battery life has improved and if your still experiencing issues, then i guess you should determine which application you have got installed in't allowing the phone to 'Sleep' o is sucking at the CPU like a good un!

I've known from past experiences that most of the SE Updates are released on a sunday. I have no idea why this is, but i recall from my w880i, w910i and c905, that updates have been eleased normally over the weekend!

I've found that if you do wnt to flash that the Telenor firmware is the best at the moment, the O2 German R2B has something that causes delays, in opening applications, and causes a slow bootup. I'm not sure why it is, but the telenor is the best up to now.

The in call volume has been increased, I'm not sure if people can still hear cackling or other strange noises, im yet to determine or test this feature out.

The update will be here soon, Im hoping SE have delayed the Generics a few days to see what feedback comes though on the brandedversions and maybe add a few last minute tweaks! I highly doubt this would happen, but i can't see i;'ve ever noticed a ime when branded firmwar has dopped before generic!
[XPERIA X10 General] AndyD777:
I agree with superleeds27, as my findings are the same.

So once the generic is released it should be even quicker then branded versions.
[XPERIA X10 General] lornova:
The software industry don't work that way. When you deliver a piece of software to the world, you don't do "last minute tweaks". The deployed releases have been ready and unchanged for weeks while some quality team does extensive testing.

The bad thing about Sony Ericsson is that they have so many market and vendor specific versions. They really should have a single firmware deployed worldwide at once.
[XPERIA X10 General] Murch:
In the Netherlands we also haven't seen the update yet, I really hoped it would hit our country before the weekend, but if it comes next week it'll be fine too.
[XPERIA X10 General] folexzy:
hoi murch,are you having a locked x10 or unlocked?was by kpn but those dude will not want to help,i bought it from someone though but will like to unlock it .....

folexzy
[XPERIA X10 General] parthabhatta:
I have updated my x10 xperia mini from SE site two days back. It was more than 100mb but I could not detect any material change in the phone after flashing. Can anyone say what is the changelog of the update or where can I find it ?
[XPERIA X10 General] FRiKiNFRoG:
This thread is about the x10 firmware, pretty sure it is not the same in the x10 mini, correct me if I'm wrong :)
[XPERIA X10 General] Udonitron:
STILL nothing here in Canada! Typical Rogers, always late to the game :( LOVE the new redesigned forum...I 1st thought I went somewhere else by mistake lol

Update to R2

Does anyone know how I can update my software without loosing the Hyves-application in Timescape??
[XPERIA X10 General] coop2003:
i updated the software on the x10a but i still dont notice a (huge) difference in volume.. does anyone have same problem with the x10a models??
[XPERIA X10 General] bimmerboii:
what version did you update to?
[XPERIA X10 General] FRiKiNFRoG:
Hyves is specific to a/some country right? then you'd have to wait for the right firmware.
[XPERIA X10 General] sl1nk3:
Hey, can anyone with an updated X10 ( > R1FA016) try the following OpenGL sample on his phone : http://developer.sonyericsson.com/c...Servlet/download/131479-2472/X10OGLSample.zip

I just need you to send a screenshot or a description of what's on screen (especially try the first test and see if there's a green bar on the right)

That's because there's an issue with the OpenGL extensions in the X10 (see my post here : http://developer.sonyericsson.com/community/thread/50846;jsessionid=C45090766D455A7A1096F07BF254C22A) and it's supposedly fixed in one of the upcoming updates, i wonder if it's this one :D
[XPERIA X10 General] TechGuru_x10:
Just what I was thinking....
[XPERIA X10 General] gavriel18:
I'm using telnor r2b, can you give me some instruction on how to use the tool and I will definitely post my results
[XPERIA X10 General] TechGuru_x10:
I have firmware 016, I ran the test with some benchmark tool available in market and Open GL was Yes......
[XPERIA X10 General] ratheen:
R2....20

so i just used the files available on the developers site to get to R2....20 version of the FW, first things first, the battery life has gone up by 100%, i had 14-16 hours of battery with 3G, auto brightness, auto sync etc, with all that the same, i got 16 hours of use, with occasional wifi use too, and my battery was at 60%, yesterday was the first day after i updated, but it looks promising.

one thing to keep in mind though, it does not have the automatic carrier setting option for setting up the 3G (APN) settings.
[XPERIA X10 General] MarylandCookie:
Can you paste the link here if thats ok?

Thanks :)
[XPERIA X10 General] 4mynikka:
Are the files you used for the x10I or x10a? If I put it In my x10a will I lose my 3g frequencies?
[XPERIA X10 General] 2twiztid:
I sent you a pm with what you require, sl1nk3.
[XPERIA X10 General] Udonitron:
Aw man...Sunday the 27th and still no update for us Canucks!
[XPERIA X10 General] jkr284:
that will be week commencing 28th of june then lol!!
[XPERIA X10 General] Bennachie:
Pathetic..................................:o :mad: :(
[XPERIA X10 General] CipryK:
i'm kinda gettin tired to have the buggy R1FA014. Hope the new update will come soon cause:

1. I had 2 SE phones and seriously i wont buy another one if this things go the same path as till now

2. I hate the volume of the incoming calls and inspeaker calls volume..

3. I could write a hole page with other things i don't like about this software...
[XPERIA X10 General] ratheen:
So, read the first page in the forum (linked below)

here you can find the R2...20 Firmware

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=683793

This does not disable any frequencies it installs the full OS, which means you MAY have to manually add the APN for your carrier to start the 3G and set up the MMS, i had to (for T-Mobile, US)

this is how it's done

To configure Internet settings manually:

From the Home screen, tap the applications bar > Settings.

Tap Wireless controls > Mobile networks > Access Point Names.

Press the Menu key.

Tap New APN.

Tap Name and tap the Name text bar to enter the name of the network profile you want to create. Tap OK.

Tap APN and tap the APN text bar to enter the access point name. Tap OK.

Tap and enter all other information required by your network operator.

Press the Menu key and tap Save.
[XPERIA X10 General] gr00vy0ne:
You can tell they may be getting close since the sony ericsson new software update page is being updated and now the pop-ups work on the page. Fingers crossed.
[XPERIA X10 General] ratheen:
you can also use this OTA method to get the APN settings on the phone, however it didn't work for me

http://www.sonyericsson.com/ota/wxhtml/otawizard

*** when i last checked, the R2...20 firmware, was ONLY for the x10i. if you have the X10A, please verify the file you download.
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
So apparently, the hundreds of thousands of users around the globe, and dozens of users on here talking about receiving an update is pathetic?

Get a grip on reality, kid. The world doesn't revolve around you.
[XPERIA X10 General] sanjay_2001:
today june 28th still no updates in india.

F****** Battery is killing me!!!

not withstanding for at least 10 hrs....:eek:
[XPERIA X10 General] cvchetan:
the battery seems to have stabilized after 15 days on the .16 firmware. it now lasts 1 full day..

bad tht no updates still...
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
@iead1 - Think you'll find the only a small minority have received the official update yet.... Telenor Sweden and O2 Germany.. everyone else is just uploading their roms..

SE's approach and communication on this has been nothing short of pathetic..
[XPERIA X10 General] miguelsantos1979:
I've called to the Finnish SE costumer service and they were actualy almost rude when i asked them if they knew the due of the firmware. The guy seemed to know less than me, answering me that before the release the phone providers most approve the firmware. Then i told him that i have a generic model, but he kept insisting in the approval from the providers.

It's really annoying me this SE lack of communication. Tired of struggling with the battery life, sound quality of the calls and all the lags and bugs.
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
But the XDA community hardly represents the X10 user base as a whole. Which is what I mean by just chill.

I do find it funny though, the disparity between the Japanese SE and the Rest of the World SE. You would think for a Swedish company, they would be better in Europe.

Here's some in-depth details about the update that I received a few weeks ago.

http://www.sonyericsson.co.jp/product/docomo/so-01b/update/index.html

Also from SE's Japanese site: ビルド番号が「R1EA025」となっていれば最新です（2010年6月9日現在） (Meaning as of 6/9/2010, the latest version for this region is R1EA025)
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
Just had a call back from my contact at SE.. He's been told that the distribution has been delayed and he can't get a date as yet.. He said that he didn't know why it was delayed.. the back office team "wouldn't tell him".. He has diarised to call me at 3PM GMT on Wednesday following another meeting that he has with the back office guys. I guess it's either to do with Root, or they've found something badly wrong in the version that's been released to O2 and Telenor...

So sit tight.. (I'll be amazed if he phones me at 3 on Wednesday!!) but I'll update you all either way!.
[XPERIA X10 General] sanjay_2001:
@Im_iceman: do ask that SE person when will they update in india also... we r still in R1FA016
[XPERIA X10 General] metcard:
So the firmware should be ready in 2 weeks? ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] jkr284:
lmao!! you beat me to it!!
[XPERIA X10 General] ratheen:
hey, that's what i was going to say! the only thing is i didn't have to call SE, LOL
[XPERIA X10 General] dark_hood:
hi. so, if i have my phone from orange operator (central europe), is it branded for sure? because only thing from operator is the APN for mms, orange world but nothing else. if i want to have new firmware i´d debrand my phone with generic fw for central europe? thanks in advance and sorry for my english ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] Bennachie:
SE is pathetic.

I say again

SE is pathetic

just in case

SE is pathetic.

Ok it was not completely explicit but was definitely inferred from previous posts etc.

So there is no doubt

SE pathetic

Pathetic.

Now, where's me coat and hat?

Did I tell you that SE was pathetic?

SE is ..................................

I give up.

I'll buy a fruit phone................................................

:eek: (jokin')
[XPERIA X10 General] ratheen:
i believe that's what you should do. i am not sure though,l read the de branding tutorial
[XPERIA X10 General] gulpreet:
In the key lock screen, press "menu > back > back > menu > back > menu > menu > back"

A service menu should pop up. There should be a setting there somewhere that says "brand". If it says Orange under it then your phone is branded with their firmware. If that's the case then follow the debranding method either the one using pc companion or seus (up to you). Just make sure you download the latest firmware for the x10i and use that to debrand... and when you're done, your phone will be debranded as well as on the latest firmware. Just remember that you probably will have to re enter your apn settings, so don't freak out if your data doesn't work at the beginning.
[XPERIA X10 General] goth50:
no news yet?

The new frimware is no were to be found on SEUS.. any info? my battery is killing me with 17h life....
[XPERIA X10 General] Dementoriator:

That means that I have a unbranded phone right?

[XPERIA X10 General] damirbusic:
I have found option "Proximity switch" and it is OFF !? Is that why my screen does not turn off when I talk ? How can I turn it ON ?
[XPERIA X10 General] statukuo:
Proximity switch

When you press to proximity switch in secret menu, shows "off" until you put something near the sensor.

Try puting your finger over the sensor (just at te right of the speaker) and it will beep as changes to "on", if not, your sensor might be broken.
[XPERIA X10 General] damirbusic:
Yep, that was it :)

Tnx

I had a UK O2 branded X10i.

I used the debranding method shown here, well over a month ago

http://www.xperiax10.net/2010/04/14/debrand-your-xperia-x10-tutorial/

and also used the UK generic firmware in the guide.

Then today after I was alerted to the update, I recieved a ~41MB file and updated my phone. Took quite a while. All apps and settings remain as before including the ADW.Launcher I had.

New information:

Model Number : X10i

Firmware version : 1.6

Baseband version: 1.1.25

Kernel version : 2.6.29-relsemc-android@SEMC #2

Build number: R2BA020

edit:

2 major improvements I've noticed so far are a much smoother mediascape experience and also perfect scrolling in the widget menu. Since I don't use the stock launcher, I can't comment on that.
