[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Unimaginative:
Christ almighty, what's the point of 'requesting' devs to do anything with this device when we already know it's not possible to do anything with it? What, you think just because they created a sub-forum for the Milestone on XDA suddenly everything would come up roses?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] gemini002:
well if no one tries how will we make progress?there must be a way to bypass bootloader we must try.if devs never tried then none of us would ever have root so stop with the dumb remarks:mad:
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] DAGr8:
the point of this thread is not to request dev to do soemthing , witch obviously they are busy doing/trying otherwise this section wouldnt exist ...

the point of this thread was merely an attempt at keeping this section clean of 'froyo is coming in july ' or how do I rooot on 2.1 type of questions you get the drift ...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] cmstlist:
In which case there needs to be a distinct Motorola Milestone General forum. I don't want to ask that question in "Droid and Milestone General" and get responses from Droid users. Until then, this is the go-to place for Milestone-only questions.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] DAGr8:
Well yea exactly my point , not to start the argument with you about it , obviously this will become something else then a Dev section and it will 'soon-become' the not go-to for the Dev because it will be a mess .

I know for my part they are forums I go daily for news , and eventho this was one of them this current setion will soon become one to avoid.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LiquidSolstice:
Anyone who's running a stock rom, I'd appreciate it if you could give me the default HTC Hero sounds folder? :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldencupkake:
Hello guys, Just got my EVO and just rooted it yesterday. I was going through and reinstalling the apps i had prior to root and ran into a problem when installing the app "antivirus" Packages, settings and content all had suspicious items. The question i have for you guys is this, are those items from the root or can i go ahead and remove them without concern? the last thing i want to do is destroy important system files. Thanks ahead of time.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oOflyeyesOo:
I don't think you should install a antivirus on the evo, at the moment it would just be a waste of space and memory.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] woodfinx:
I was using the one by flipz with Sprint/time/date however that one had the bug where emergency call would stay up after putting the phone in Airplane mode.

I am currently using the one that comes with Fresh 2.1.2 but I prefer to have the time/date up there since the Sense UI clock does not update unless you unlock the phone.

Does anyone know if there is a vanilla lock screen that has the time/date and has the emergency call fix?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] tannerw_2010:
I was wondering why I kept on getting that emergency call to pop up, but that answers my question. I don't know of a fix with the clock, so I am curious about this too ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Wii60:
Hey,

On the old Touchwiz, it was heavily integrated into the phone, so much so that if you did a home replacement like LauncherPro, it still would give you the weird notification bar, etc. The dialer and contact apps were touchwiz too and couldn't be replaced.

Could one of you guys try launcherpro and tell if it does the replacement right? Or is the phone still separate in the odin images?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Haukifile:
LauncherPro doesn't replace the notification bars, dialers etc. Only the launcher and the app menu I believe. I don't have a single problem with the touchwiz stuff though, and will probably go back to Touchwiz launcher too.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Wii60:
Ok, just one more question then, what about the settings, are they the stock settings menu or another custom UI like the old Touchwiz?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ramsey:
People have used both launcher pro and adwlauncher and they say they work perfectly fine with the phone.

Personally I'm staying with touchwiz, I love it and I love the smooth application menu, unlike other android devices where it's sluggish and strange. Also, it looks very very good, unlike the videos online, in real it's beautiful. to me anyways :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ramsey:
stock Android 2.1 settings with a few added features like vibration intensity, tv out, video calling, lcd power save etc...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Wii60:
Great thanks. I'll flash my nexus before deciding, but maybe Samsung got it right this time.

Sorry to be ragging on your phone guys, but touchwiz absolutely ruined the Behold 2.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ramsey:
yes that's what I heard that touchwiz 2222222222 ruined :P but the 3 is great for me. I haven't seen the 2

Hello! Can I run WM 6.5 on HTC P4350? Currently I use WM 6.1 . Many thanks. :)
[Wing, P4350 General] crz6662:
Should be able. Running on my Wing. shav3d-94.nbh is the Rom I chose. Probably 5-6 tried and finally found this one, that had Java. Runs very nice and decent battery.
[Wing, P4350 General] dents:
Thanks. Can you give me a link so I could download this ROM?
[Nexus One Android Development] alexdzn:
Based on MoDaCo FRF83, deodex, root, insecure.

Add: Quick boot, battery notify, root explorer, blink, fancy widget, chrome to phone, divx, wifi hot spot widget, tesla led, brut maps for international navi, build prop and video settings 800X480 - best performance from rodriguezstile 2.6.

Themed with mix grass, desire red, etc.

Thanks to all devs, main to MoDaCo.

[Mod edit:

Removed link due too divx player is in beta and xda has been notified not too post/insert into roms.

Fancy wiget has to be removed for that is HTC copywritten app. Has been removed from the market.
[Nexus One Android Development] Mikey:
Removed your link and locking the thread till it's cleaned out.

[XPERIA X10 General] McKebapp:
Good Idea to start this thread :)

Here is what I determined so far:

Moxier gained 2.1.75, Now it is possible to push Moxier contacts to the phone, whenever you like.

The new "Backup and restore" App is very promising. You'll be able to backup most things to SD. Even the user edited dictionary.

Switching between 2G and 3G is gained to be really fast.

[XPERIA X10 General] Mobzter:
That's the list I posted yesterday from someone else's finding from the esato forum!!
[XPERIA X10 General] AndyD777:
That's because I use a different username on here, speaking of which I need to get it changed :D
[XPERIA X10 General] danogamalieriis:
What about the battery? Better?
[XPERIA X10 General] wertzius:
I can't say anything about the battery! ->Tomorrow
[XPERIA X10 General] instigator008:
Agree that this firmware feels faster and snappier in general.
[XPERIA X10 General] ddewbofh:
I can attest to the battery being much, much, much better. Like a lot. :)
[XPERIA X10 General] AndyD777:
Yes much better :D
[XPERIA X10 General] deebeepee:
So are we seeing the new update deployed in most countries now then?

Can anyone tell me if it wiped the phone back to startup settings? ie lost messeges, contacts, aps ect?

Thanks
[XPERIA X10 General] mcduck99:
Damned...phone+seus are not offering an update in germany for my phone:

Modellnummer: X10i

Firmware-Version: 1.6

Baseband-Version: 1.0.16

Build-Nummer: R1FA016

Any one else with the annoying messages like "your phone is up to date, there is no newer software available"?
[XPERIA X10 General] Mobzter:
Lol haha in that case my bad!
[XPERIA X10 General] Mano1982:
I want an update now :( Nothing on SEUS for genric Nordic :(
[XPERIA X10 General] ddewbofh:
Flash the generic update posted in the rom-thread. By the looks of it that is a legit nordic rom. It works just fine for me in .se anyways so I imagine it'll work for you too.
[XPERIA X10 General] McKebapp:
It's Swedish and Telenor branded..
[XPERIA X10 General] wertzius:
The Update in Germany is only for O2 Phones at the moment.

The generic OK Version misses important German social networks in Timescape, but u can use it without problems!
[XPERIA X10 General] ddewbofh:
Oh, oops. I didn't notice the Telenor bit since it's my carrier. But I thought there were no country-specific updates but rather just regional updates, like nordic etc.

Well, the more you live the more you learn. Thanks for the heads up. :)
[XPERIA X10 General] Mano1982:
Thanx ddew & McKebapp, I was thinking that but then i got that it's Telenor branded :-/ i assume, May be it does not make any difference if it is Swedish or Norwegian, but Telenor branded? Even Telenor is not my carrier :p
[XPERIA X10 General] Zooklubba:
Mine isnt branded but I have Telenor as operator.

Is the A & Q problem fixed in the keyboard?

Do you still have to press buttons 2-5 times or is that the responsive thing?

I have problems ending calls on mine, sometimes it takes quite a few button clicks to end the calls and one time I couldnt end it at all. Half a minute of pressing made me take out the battery instead...

I have .21 since mine is at service point I can't update but if you have unbranded (nordic) phone could you get .25 thru SEUS or is it only for Telenor branded phones?
[XPERIA X10 General] wertzius:
There are no keyboardproblems anymore.

U can end calls on the screen and with the Powerbutton. That don't work?

At the Moment there is no new firmware for unbranded phones anywhere.
[XPERIA X10 General] Flamso:
It looks like it's only for branded phones. Mine isn't branded and I can't update. So we'll just have to wait and see. :)
[XPERIA X10 General] farhan032:
Guys is the issue with time going out of sync with the auto-update with network time fixed with the new upadte?

Thanks!
[XPERIA X10 General] fast rock:
Hi,

Did they add the one-hand zoom thing??
[XPERIA X10 General] Bennachie:
Is the shockingly bad auto lock after calls still in existence, 'cos I would dearly like to 'do away' with that.
[XPERIA X10 General] Zooklubba:
I've always used the screen-button. The not-able-to-end the call at all once I used hold the powerbutton and rebooted it. Nothing happend when I long pressed the powerbutton but the context menu. Never thought of just pressing the powerbutton once though.

The repair shop got my X10 so I don't have it but I'm meeting som executives from the shop I bought it on Tuesday and they've offered me a new phone but I have some more complaints to them first...
[XPERIA X10 General] Vilam:
I just updated to R2BA020 and I didn't seen free ram improvement...

And do you know if there is a battery life improvement ?

Vilam
[XPERIA X10 General] superleeds27:
Vilam what firmware did you use?
[XPERIA X10 General] nan_a:
!

What network operator you are ? I'm using Orange and when i check for updates the phone report me back it's update and the version of firmware is still R1FA014!

:confused:
[XPERIA X10 General] AndyD777:
Its when the phone first booted, I noticed it had more ram then R1BA001 :)

What version of the R2BA020 update are you using?

One thing I have noticed is the Telenor release runs much noticeably better on my handset then the German O2 release.

There is a huge improvement in battery life.
[XPERIA X10 General] superleeds27:
you think so Andy?

I have only really tested the german version, and still think its an improvement on the R1F firmware, Noticed upon fist boot, having about 150-170mb free Ram!
[XPERIA X10 General] AndyD777:
About the difference in the two firmwares?

Test it :D;);)
[XPERIA X10 General] superleeds27:
lol, well whats your opinion between the two?

I want to test but knowing my luck, i'll get it up and running and then we'll have reports of Uk generic been released! haah
[XPERIA X10 General] AndyD777:
I just though the Telenor release even thought it had a few more applications installed was quicker to use. When I tried the German it just seem to lag on opening the apps draw and scrolling across the home screens. As the boot wasn't as quick. However, it could be just my handset.

Also one other thing I noticed about the about the main German file, is its about a MB in size bigger.
[XPERIA X10 General] Mobzter:
150-175mb ram free on boot?.. doesnt sound like an improvement!

really looking forward to the updates though.. hope it gets out really soon! cant wait any longer lolz

btw, hope ya dont mind me asking andy.. but how many usernames do ya have on here?
[XPERIA X10 General] AndyD777:
Just one :D
[XPERIA X10 General] Mobzter:
so you've finally changed ya name :-p you should stop playing with my head! lolz
[XPERIA X10 General] AndyD777:
Yes its all changed now :p
[XPERIA X10 General] FRiKiNFRoG:
Firmware Changelog Collectthread? First page was going well
[XPERIA X10 General] superleeds27:
Phone has been on 12 hours, and the battery is still at 91%

Granted i haven't used it much, 5-10 Mins wi-fi this morning, and about 20 texts.

Its much improved over what it was!
[XPERIA X10 General] nkolsen:
13.5 hours and on 81% :p Sooo much better battery....
[XPERIA X10 General] superleeds27:
this makes a good read

[XPERIA X10 General] unknown13x:
SE increased the bass in mediascape in R2BA020. It no longer sounds flat. More of a "clear voice" device now
[XPERIA X10 General] blaze16:
How long did it take for you guys to notice these incredible battery changes?!?!

I just updated my phone to R2BA020 from R1FA014, charged till max, rebooted, and now it's only been 40 min and its 96%! :S

Do you think I have to cycle the battery a few times?
[XPERIA X10 General] Mobzter:
What exactly did you do in them 40 minz?
[XPERIA X10 General] sspicer:
Also it seems the one if the WiFi bugs has been fixed.

Before if I lost gsm signal it would d/c my WiFi then cut off my WiFi again when I gained gsm signal again.

But with the R2... German O2 firmware that no longer happens :-)
[XPERIA X10 General] Shiwantha:
Im Currently on X10i Generic NCB (R1FA016) , Is there any adverse effect if I update this to Swedish Branded (Telenor) X10i Firmware (R2BA020) or German Branded (O2) X10i Firmware (R2BA020)

Im actually not even from Europe, Out of telenor and O2 which is better?
[XPERIA X10 General] :
Well.. I'm not sure.. but doing some test, I can say that with the default home, the battery it's very good. But if I try to install other launcher like ADW the battery sucks.. can someone confirm it?

EDIT:

Default launcher + backlight auto = good battery

Default launcher + backlight manual = poor battery

Both tested with 3G always ON. Now I will test the same with ADW Launcher :)
[XPERIA X10 General] bongd:
Make sure that Location services aren't keeping it awake. Probably a fluke too, something's surely loaded in the background and running rather than being idle. This happened to me after my second charge.

Charged a 3rd time and woke up this morning. Almost 17 hours running, and only 14% battery drained. I'm happy now. I just disable APN while I'm at work so it doesn't constantly go between 3G/Edge and this helps immensely as well.

No task killing other than before I put the phone down because sometimes I have some huge battery killing apps running. I'd rather kill them manually for whatever it's worth. Force of habit mostly. Everything is running amazing on R2BA020!!
[XPERIA X10 General] metcard:
3G watchdog also prevents your phone from sleeping. So get rid of that if you have it installed.

Even on the RBA016 firmware I can get over 2 days of normal use from the X10.
[XPERIA X10 General] j4mm3r:
What makes you say that? I've been a happy camper using 3G watchdog and ever since I turned off location, my battery has been chugging along quite nicely. Still waiting for it to drain completely since I did the change... 32 hrs and counting...:)
[XPERIA X10 General] farhan032:
Did anyone notice that now it takes 5 clicks to make a phone call to a contact in the phonebook as oppposed the 4 clicks in the previous firmware ??? ..Im using the telenor branded firmware....

1st Click - Dialer App

2nd click - Phonebook

3rd Click - Select Contact

4th Click - Click the number you want to call

5th Click - takes you back to the dialer ..press the call button

Isnt that a little too much just to make a call :(
[XPERIA X10 General] mattiL:
farhan032, In the phonebook, press the contact you want to call for a second or two, then you get a nice menu where you can select Call, Send message etc.
[XPERIA X10 General] arcticreaver:
is this firmware for the x10i or x10a? i want the latest version for the x10a. can someone please clairify?
[XPERIA X10 General] blaze16:
Thanks for your input bongd! So I think I just overreacted initially :P. It turns out my battery lasted ~40 hours on that same charge! I guess patience is indeed a virtue...

I'm loving this firmware and am very excited for root access! :D
[XPERIA X10 General] Ny88:
I locked myself out of my phone (pattern lock) last week so had to do a repair. I thought I would debrand also as I am using pc companion. Since debrand (016) ive had "no service" got a new sim and it still hasn't sorted it tried going back to branded software and it upgraded to R2ba020. I still have "no service" the only time I have got a good signal is at work and thats only because I am right next to a vodafone mast. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
[XPERIA X10 General] wing_zero8556:
yeh same problem with UK generic R2BA020 ahah oh well....lucky i dont call people often
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
Quickest way is..

1. straight into phonebook (no need to go through the dialler)..

2. long press on the contact and

3. select the "Call Mobile" or "Call Home" or whatever option..

Done.
[XPERIA X10 General] Tri3Dent:
I like it how they added some 'fade' effect inbetween applications.. like if you hit the dialer, has some small fade effect. anyone notice that?
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
@tri3dent.. yeah.. hadn't noticed.. but just had a look and it makes it look quite slick..
[XPERIA X10 General] se_dude:
So anyone here caring to spend some time updating the changelog? How do you figure the firmware affects the X10?
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
oh.. here's a new thing.. I switched my phone back to Autoupdate on the time. (had switched to manual after it was losing time)... but now.. after the update.. seems to work on auto just fine.
[XPERIA X10 General] mark28:
I expected my battery life to be better after the update but it only got a little bit better =( it still isn't lasting a whole day. I think I might buy another battery
[XPERIA X10 General] tuxStyle:
Same here but i guess in my case is because wifi is on 24h/day
[XPERIA X10 General] murmeljenta:
Is this thread still being updated? I love the idea!

Got the ...23 firmware yesterday, on my Nordic combined.

In addition to what's mentioned here, I find that:

* Nametagging in Mediascape is improved. Instead of "unknown", you get a "+" icon. The "+" icon and tagged names are well separated, so that there is no problem clicking the "+" to add a new tag.

* Face recognition is changed - detects a couple of more faces, but also different stuff that is not faces (such as grass). Some faces that it has previously detected are not labelled any more - however, the photos still show up in my list of friends.

* Mediascape has a new "settings" option for small pictures. You can switch between original size and automatic resizing.

* In settings - applications, there is a new checkbox for installing PC companion when the phone is connected to a computer.

* Minor thing - the e-mail icon in Timescape is changed.

On the bad side:

* PlayNow is removed, instead I have a new app "com.sonyericss..." that crashes my home screen every time I try running it!

* I was hoping that the large delay for Nordic combined was due to translation. However, there are still spelling errors in the new versions, and old ones aren't corrected. (Can you believe that the user manual does not use the same terms as the phone itself? GPS data is "address" in the manual and "placement" on the phone!)

* The list of installed applications is still randomly ordered, until you have entered and exited an item.

... as well as several previously reported bugs :(
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
The "autosize" feature also applies to playing videos which are encoded at a lower res than the X10 std screen... so no "double tap" required to make them fill the screen.
[XPERIA X10 General] 2twiztid:
SMS's now take priority over apps. I don't know if this of just my branded firmware or others aswell.

I was trading engadget via it's app, and it'd close everytime I received a SMS. As with Dolphin. It's kind of annoying.

*Play Now still available in Aus.

*Wifi drop when signal drop seems to be less frequent.
[XPERIA X10 General] piercewei:
this is interesting. look forward to your new post.
[XPERIA X10 General] murmeljenta:
Update: I had PlayNow on one of my home screens. The shortcut remained after update, and was still named PlayNow, though it didn't work. After another reboot, the shortcut name was changed to "com.sonyericss...". The old PlayNow shortcut behaves exactly as the new "com.sonyericss..." app. Might be the same thing.
[XPERIA X10 General] qwer23:
R2BA024 out

jerpelea just added the R2BA024 firmware for x10i devices. changelog would be interesting ;) i myself cannot install it right now as i would lose root permissions.
[XPERIA X10 General] Karooluss:
What news in 24 firmware??
[XPERIA X10 General] lildic:
hello friend can u please tell me how to get this update?
[XPERIA X10 General] kevjs1982:
One more I have noticed - when you try to select the mobile network you no longer get a seperate enty for the 3g and gsm versions like you do on other phones. Should be interesting when t-mobile enable roaming on the orange gsm network and not the 3g one

.
[XPERIA X10 General] k1sr:
Backup

does the included backup actually backup the higher res contact pictures and links to FB and Twitter...?

Or have SE still forgotten that point...
