CM6 doesn't have HTC framework, as it is AOSP, not sense. You need to be on a Sprint, HTC sense rom to update prl. That's just the way it goes I guess :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hotaru:
you don't need sense to update the prl. you just need a kernel with the diag module and cdma workshop. i've updated my prl twice on the extremely blue cm6 from here. you can probably also do it with qpst instead of cdma workshop.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
That IS true... however, I am speaking in generalities, as most of our non-sense kernels don't have these features. But you are correct :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] RobAGD:
Well I just went backwards ( Hero with Fresh 2.1.1 ) was on 60667 did an update to 60670 and it was hell. Dropping data to 1x and dropping voice calls made the phone useless.

Awesome thread ! Thanks !

[Hero CDMA Android Development] kyouko:
Thought I'd bump this thread up for two reasons.

1. A new prl is out - 6067

2

2. Some people will update to the newer one and inevitably complain about how it's wayy worse than before, slightly better signal with the older one, yada yada. Well you scrubs can go here and download an older version. ;)

*note* as of right now the PRL isn't uploaded on ppcgeeks nor the windows live skydrive link.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] cryptkiller:
hi,

just wondering if there is such a thing that allows u to edit and change settings

within android like u can in windows through registry settings etc...

cheers
[Galaxy S I9000 General] NeoXTC:
android doesn't work like windows. Linux vs Windows. So I doubt it. Root your phone and have a look around the directories. All linux stuff are like "text" based so just look for the config text files change stuff. Correct me if I'm wrong.
[XPERIA X10 General] apr1000:
i know this is a Xperia subforum, so I know there will be a bias so lets try to keep that at a minimum.

anyway i'm thinking about getting a new phone and my top pic is still the xperia x10a, but my cousin told me about the galaxy, its not as good looking as the xperia but it is fast with an awesome gpu.

since I dont have either phones, maybe some of you guys could help me out in picking the right phone.

thanks
[XPERIA X10 General] Talonnb:
I've played with both, the X10 and the Galaxy "Spica". There's no competition, except price, so if you've got the money, get the X10 for sure
[XPERIA X10 General] apr1000:
sry not the spice, but the galaxy s i9000 or i9600 something like that

4 inch screen, 1 ghz processer, gpu with 90 milllion triangles per second.
[XPERIA X10 General] HunteronX:
To be honest, I think the Galaxy S is better than the X10 in all aspects apart from the camera, and screen viewing angles in daylight, which I don't know about.

If you like its design, go get it!
[XPERIA X10 General] chris_knows:
I was stuck between those two phones too, but ultimately, decided to go for the X10 because Samsung generally (in my experience) makes buggy phones, and rarely offers updates to fix it. As well, no LED flash.
[XPERIA X10 General] apr1000:
how do you like the x10 so far?
[XPERIA X10 General] stylus1828:
You are so right!!!! I had the samsung i900, samsung i8000 and deffenetly i will never buy a samsung phone ever. Software support, firmware updates are very bad, buggy phones, and for sure they will update the phone for the next 6 months and than they will dump it. They did that with i900, and the i8000.

Personnally i choosed between HTC DESIRE, HTC LEGEND and x10. I went for the x10.
[XPERIA X10 General] Mano1982:
I had a bad experience with Samsung, although it was many years ago :p I've not used Samsung Galaxy S, but on paper it is better than X10. I don't know how it's in use. Personally i would have choosen X10 :p
[XPERIA X10 General] hoss_n2:
it was proven that at 1ghz it could only give 29 million triangles , not 90 , if it is 90 million it should be able to play 1080 video , but it can't
[XPERIA X10 General] hiraj_panosian:
I would definately go for the I9000 because it has a gyroscope, android 2.2, multi-touch (the real one not dual-touch ;):D) 5 mp camera which makes perfect pictures!!! x10 has flash that s true, but honestly the pictures in the dark are very bad, it doesn t make a lot of difference. And ok the I9000 has software bugs, but x10 has them as well, ooh dont forget the front camera now that facetalk is introduced on the iphone 4 it is definately going to be neccesary;)

PS.: if i forget anything i`ll add it later on;)
[XPERIA X10 General] wrongfeifong:
iphone 4 is better then samsun Galaxy i9000, you are better off with iphone 4. X10 is already a 1 year ago phone.
[XPERIA X10 General] iom_jack:
my suggestion, go for x10 but if you want samsung galaxy then wait for the S2 in the near future.
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
@wrongfeifong - X10 isn't a year ago phone - it's a current phone, with a 6 months ago OS.. which is due to be upgraded to a 3 months ago OS during this quarter... the phone has all the potential.. it just needs SE to harness that potential more effectively, either through their mods to the 2.1 OS, or by further updating to 2.2 (which I understand is much easier than going from 1.6 - 2.1.. so could potentially be with us much quicker.)

I haven't used the new Samsung Android phones but my previous handset was the Tocco.. and it wasn't great.
[XPERIA X10 General] ddewbofh:
Personally I'd hold off just a little while longer to see how the hacking of the X10 comes along. I'm in the minority (it seems) that notices the flaws in AMOLED displays and get an insane headache. Me and a mate switched phones over a weekend and by the end of it I couldn't stand the display.

Specs-wise the devices are fairly similar although the Galaxy has more onboard storage while the X10 has a bigger display (resolution-wise, it's a proper 16:9 display) and better camera.

IF (which is likely) we'll be able to get 2.1 or 2.2 hacked onto the X10 I'd say the X10 wins hands down. The battery is the same size and the hardware is similar enough that you can expect the pretty much the same power-usage when we'll be able to tweak the OS more thoroughly.

Once you have full access to making ROMs for a phone there's no real limit to what you can do for performance, even my old HTC Magic would kick the X10's rear in it's current state.
[XPERIA X10 General] chris_knows:
It's nice, but it's also my first Android phone, so don't take my opinion too seriously...

My only complaint is that it might not get Android 2.2 (which is a pretty big deal to me, it might not matter to you), but other than that, hardware is great, it's big, but not so massive that you can't fit it in your pocket or text with one hand, the screen is responsive, battery is decent (generally use it for web browsing, a couple phone calls, and send a lot (like 500ish) texts, and it'll last me the full day, I also like Mediascape; it's better than most Android media players I've seen.
[XPERIA X10 General] apr1000:
i guess i will get x10 then, but should i get x10a or x10i?

i have t mobile and i wont buy the data plan because my school has wi-fi everywhere, all i need is talk and text.

so i want 2 get x10a due to the warranty offered, will it work for text on t mobile edge?

also any good sites to buy 1 for cheap?
[XPERIA X10 General] wrongfeifong:
I start the counting from announcement since when they announce it, it is the current most powerful phone.
[XPERIA X10 General] ddewbofh:
Found out the reason I get headaches from AMOLED displays. The stated resolutions aren't actually true, since the technology used to display graphics is different. The short version is that you get about 80% of the stated pixelcount which makes the display slightly blurry. So it looks like TFT-LCD is still the way to go for crispness. Not to mention the fact that it's got huge problems displaying colours properly.

Might be worth considering when comparing phones if the display is important to you.
[XPERIA X10 General] tuxStyle:
This is a bad time to invest in a smartphone.

Anyway... Galaxy S looks like an iPhone and i hate it because of this while X10's design/form factor is the best out there.

I think in terms of hardware is a bit better than X10:

It can play divx/xvid using hardware acceleration while for X10 you need a dedicated player (and until now only RockPlayer can do it and is beta).

Galaxy S has multitouch while X10 doesn't (some people say it might but for now it doesn't).

Super AMOLED which beats X10 inside. In daylight, X10's TFT is better but this is a personal opinion.

X10 flash led is pretty useless and Galaxy S doesn't even have one but who takes picture at night with a smartphone anyway?

In terms of quality, i think SE's camera sensor is better than the one used by Samsung.

I don't care about front camera.
[XPERIA X10 General] gpmg762:
Totally agreed with you, the Galaxy S resembles an Iphone. I like the specs on paper but opt for X10 distinct design, plus I had 3 months of nightmare with the Samsung Omnia.
[XPERIA X10 General] junkk29:
@apr1000, I think we're in the same situation here mate. I have been waiting for the X10 since the day it was announced but I still have the patience to wait until 2.1 or 2.2 is released. It's a big let down for me that the flagship model of SE doesn't support multi-touch. I have heard that a 2.1 update would enable the multi-touch capabilities but I would not buy the phone hoping that it will support it in the future...that would be a big whack in the face if it doesn't :( I've just heard about the Galaxy S and have started to grow interest to it. The only thing I hate about the Galaxy S is it resembles iPhone, which I seriously dislike. Although I'm curious about the FF camera, does anyone know whether it is capable of doing a video call? would be nice if Fring is supported too. The 2.1 update for X10 has moved from Q4 to Q3 (as I've heard) so I would wait a little longer and see what major changes it will make cuz I really do believe that the X10 is very capable and plus...isn't the X10 just gorgeous? Be patient my friend :)
[XPERIA X10 General] wongrhy:
I am getting both phones on my hands currently. My one is x10(white) and my wife is i9000.

To be honest ,both the performance, graphic display and multi-touch are the main attractive points that everyone choose i9000.

However, I would prefer to choose x10 if you prefered the phone appearance rather than its performance.

Just take a look for all of the smartphones in the shops, I think x10 is one of the phone that gets the pretty good design compares with others.

So, i think no one can give you the satisfactory decision for you coz the choice should be made my your preference.

In summary, if you wanted to play the games(need multi-touch) then you should choose i9000. If you just want to have a treddy smartphone, x10 for sure.
[XPERIA X10 General] gnayres:
despite those specs on paper, I guess it all voice down to how you feel with the phone in your hand. How you move through the menus. How comfy you are with each phone when you access to its functions..

I picked the X10, no complain so far.

As for the OS update, I'm not in the hurry as the current still serves me well.

:):)
[XPERIA X10 General] Logistiks:
I'm in the exact same situation! I've not had a good phone before, been using the N95 for the past 4 years. Going on to Android is something I'm really looking foward to and these are the two phones that have caught my eye.

I'm not hugely fussed on the fact the Galaxy resembles the iPhone, but am more concerned about performance etc. Hopefully with more replies I'll get a better idea of which to go for; oh, and pricing is no matter to me, cheers.
[XPERIA X10 General] Cinner:
Wow, a voice of reason, how refreshing ;) I agree completely: the X10 is the best looking Android device out there. This is subjective of course, but at least it looks different from all the other devices, which you can't say of the Galaxy S, which looks like an old iPhone. However spec wise the Galaxy is absolutely top notch, and the UI is super smooth (smoother than the X10).

By the way, the US has several different looking versions of the Galaxy S, one even has a hardware keyboard and another has an LED flash for the camera. They also look much nicer that the international Galaxy S (not like an iPhone).
[XPERIA X10 General] se_dude:
err.. I have tried both. Dont you think with Touchwiz the Galaxy S is laggier?
[XPERIA X10 General] farhan032:
Galaxy S has the best CPU/GPU combination at the moment hands down. Check the URL out.

http://gizmodo.com/5580123/quake-2-test-htc-desire-vs-samsung-galaxy-s

However it looks cheap with with glossy plasticky body...its look does not do justice to its pricetag. Add to that samsung aftersales support.

IMHO X10 has the best looks & Cam of the current Android lot , which is no slouch either. Add to that traditonal SE build quality, audio & cam quality, decent after sales support.

At the end of the day I opted for a well rounded performance, killer looks & something that stands out from the crowd .. went for the X10 !

Hope that helps in your choice. :)
[XPERIA X10 General] kitsVA:
That did it for me. Also, I am currently holding X10's in both Black and white and I took vote from over 6 people and everyone voted for the white:D. It makes you feel special.. If feel the same with Sumsung get that as it should be just as good. But, I hate how Samsung tries to copy from others (iPhone here) while X10 has everything so unique. At this point I don't even care about latest Android as I am more curious about SE next Android device. How much better can they be with X10? I think they are not sure either that is why they are coming up with lower end Android devices.
[XPERIA X10 General] junkk29:
@wongrhy, I agree with you as well. I was thinking I would get the X10 for me and the Galaxy S for my gf in Thailand cuz it has the FF camera :P I have been a long time user of SE and I'm curious about SE's next Android device as well. They really do make gorgeous phones huh?
[XPERIA X10 General] bimmerboii:
To be honest the Samsung Galaxy S has better hardware than the X10 (except for the 5mp cam). The reviews seem great and I would love to get that phone. HOWEVER, since its a Samsung the phone may not see much firmware updates.. Software support on Samsung is really that bad..
[XPERIA X10 General] fonzthegreat:
.

My dad has a Galaxy S and I just bought a white X10i a week ago and I share my opinion.

Yes on paper the Galaxy S has better specs, thats why they keep on highlighting the superamoled, hummingbird and built in memory. Yes these are things you think you want, but in the real world it doesnt matter.

Design and build quality:

Hands down X10 takes the cake, the galaxy looks and feels like a cheap phone. The X10 on the other hand really feels like a premium phone, the white one esp is a looker. The only cheap looking thing in the package is the X10 box itself... feels so flimsy. Another thing I liked is that the X10 came with a pouch and a screen protector. The Galaxy on the other hand came with nothing, even here in the Philippines where cellphone stores are allover the place, its not easy finding a case nor a screen protector for a 4inch screen phone.

UI:

Touchwiz was very snappy and thanks to it running on eclair it had the advantage with apps and speed over UXP. Again though, I didnt like the overall look of the UI, to me it looked like a cheap imitation of iOS, UXP in general is missing functions and lack polish but again it still is a better looking UI. I am just hoping SE can get its act together and make it better when it finally gets 2.1

Hardware:

Of course the galaxyS eats the X10 alive in every aspect, reviews would make you believe that SuperAmoled screens are the second coming. When I read all the reviews comparing the X10 screen to AMOLED and SAMOLED screen, I was expecting it to look like crap. Surprisingly, it looks good! Yes at full brightness, the blacks of the amoled and samoled esp look superb compared to the X10, but in real life, most people leave their screen settings on auto brightness, which levels the playing field. Ive always found the NX1 screen of my GF and samoled screen colors too saturated, but again those black levels are to die for... hmm... what I dont like about the X10 screen is of course.. the color banding.. and which to me.. seems like ghosting? hopefully again 2.1 will fix it.

So in short... like I tell most of my friends who ask me phone advice, try out each phone first because both have their pros and cons.

For me.. the GalaxyS is like a Nissan GTR, bleeding edge of technology, latest gadgets and gizmos. It can own any road car on the market, but the build quality and overall look? not for everyone...

The X10 would be more like the Aston Martin DBS, yes its expensive, yes it isnt as bulletproof as the GTR nor can it even keep up with it. But for sure as hell when it goes down the street, everyone will be looking and will want one.
[XPERIA X10 General] mtechfan:
Well, personally speaking... I have never owned a Samsung that hasn't suffered a hardware failure of some sort. Ironically it is usually just after the warranty period expires :mad:

I am staying away now from Samsung because of this.
[XPERIA X10 General] fonzthegreat:
I own a Samsung LCD tv, refigerator and split aircon. They all experienced hardware failure in a year and well here in the Philippines, had bad customer support
[XPERIA X10 General] arcticreaver:
if the galaxy s feels cheaper than the x10, then i guess the build quality is definitely an issue. the x10 feels cheap already (may be just me).

from what i can tell, i think most are happy with the x10. i have the phone but i am not using it at the moment because unfortunately, i didn't have a good experience with the phone. maybe after the 2.1 update i will use it but right now, i'll hang on to it.

i love the design of the phone. the camera is better than most smartphones. but the camera flash is not a true flash so that kinda sucks but it still does what it should - take pictures in low light conditions, just if it was a true flash, i think it would have been better.

overall i think the x10 feels cheap. compared next to my nokia e71 hand in hand, the e71 feels more expensive yet it cost less than half the price. i'm not sure if this is a con, i personally think it's just a personal perference.

the screen is very nice. 4". you can't really go wrong with the display. after experiencing multi-touch on the nexus one (phone i'm currently using), it's definitely nice to have and use. so for a flag ship phone that doesn't support it, it really makes you question SE. but it was not a deal breaker for me.

so far the issues with the x10 is that the volume is low on calls and somewhat of a buggy interface. i think they fixed the GPS issues with the latest firmware update.

the major issue i have with the x10 is that it's running on SE's own customized interface. it's buggy and doesn't do the phone justice. i seriously wish they would go against customized interfaces or UIX or whatever they call it and just do like the nexus one. but now that we have root, i guess anything can happen with the X10 now.

not sure if you can go wrong with either phone. they are both great.
[XPERIA X10 General] citsym:
The Galaxy S. Has better battery life, multi-touch, an awesome Super AMOLED screen and is also cheaper. Not to mention that Samsung will probably be faster to deliver updates than SE.
[XPERIA X10 General] wongrhy:
I dunno whether I am out of topic or not, I just wanted to share some of my recent experience. I just looked at another Samsung's phone which called S8500. It seems the hardware spec is very simular to Galaxy S while its screen is just 3.3". However, when I picked it up in my hand, its body was also pretty slim and pretty than Galaxy S. The srcreen is also Super AMOLED and with 1GZ cpu, and the price is cheaper than Galaxy 1/3. The only one weak point is it is running BADA currently. I would like buy this as my spare phone when some nice guy can port andriod into this phone.

what i knew is SAMOLED screen, bigger internal memory and 512mb of ram?
[XPERIA X10 General] citsym:
That contains X10 apps like TimeScape?
[XPERIA X10 General] Cinner:
It has a different processor and a better graphics card, plus real multitouch. As a bonus it's an ugly phone to look at.
[XPERIA X10 General] black_math:
I have both and its not even a contest. Samsung Galaxy S every time.

Also the Galaxy S is very well built. It feels very light but that is misleading. In addition, the X10 is also made out of plastic but simply has a rubberised back. Hardly a difference to be worried about.

x10 FTW

hihi:D. i still recommend xperia x10. samsung's probably gonna stop supporting the phone after some time because they are quite busy with newer products. However, for Sony, x10 is one of the recent products and is popular that is why the arc is made just like x10. so, Sony is least likely to discontinue support for x10 anytime soon. and i dont think galaxy could do this awesome custom rom:
