To be honest. i dont need 16m colors. Its nothing but another guzzler. The screen is pretty good anyway. Keep it that way and bring in the other changes.
[XPERIA X10 General] ixemun:
sweet, so when can we expect you to upload a video on youtube of you messing around with the phone?

I want to see what they've done so far with timescape/mediascape/UI since they're the reason why SE is holding the update until Q3 2010
[XPERIA X10 General] Alleniv:
+100 :D....
[XPERIA X10 General] irispen:
So, still no 1 finger zoom?
[XPERIA X10 General] wbkang:
Mediascape navigation

I hope to have a one-click path from the Home screen to Now Playing. It requires 2 screen switches now.

is there any new sony widget?? i like to see sony make some cool widget for x10:D
[XPERIA X10 General] rocketpaul:
This +1, share the love.
[XPERIA X10 General] mezo9090:
There is another post actually.. just press the search button. -.-

sent from my x10i that is banging for a 2.1 upgrade. ...
[XPERIA X10 General] damirbusic:
If this next 2.1 update will be unusable like this alpha/beta then I am goling to sell the phone and buy me Galaxy S, thats for sure. Only thing that is keeping me now is the white color of my X10 which looks beautiful. But not forever.

Tnx btw !
[XPERIA X10 General] stylus1828:
Guys you know that 16 milion colors will eat more battery and that is not a good thing. I hope that SE will optimeze battery consumption.
[XPERIA X10 General] -PiLoT-:
wasnt there talk of a video sharing thing like what the ps3 do to psps

http://www.product-reviews.net/2009/11/19/sony-ericsson-xperia-x10-ps3-remote-play-app-coming-soon/
[XPERIA X10 General] Nankov:
I personally want the 16m colors a lot. I hope its not hardware limitation and i really hope that the 720p gets 30fps because this would suck if it doesnt and i might consider another phone as much as i am in love with this one. I dont care about multitouch but 16m colors and good 720p yes i do. As of battery are you serious it wont use that much, theres plenty of phones with smaller batteries that have 16m colors so i dont think its a problem.
[XPERIA X10 General] stylus1828:
Maybe you are right about battery... but we will see when we will get 2.1 on our devices. I hope that SE will increase incall and speaker volume.
[XPERIA X10 General] Alleniv:
Guys the solution is one: unlocking the bootloader. This means porting Froyo without any Sony Ericsson customization (=slowdown)
[XPERIA X10 General] mymagicmyhero:
Hey, if you don't like the customization, why you didn't buy the Droid for example?

I like the customization. But I want those fixed:

-16m colors

-speed;

-multiple selection of images,video, music in Mediascape;

-Live Wallpapers.

PS: Please SE, don't remove the slide to unlock screen. I Like it, because its different! Stay Different!
[XPERIA X10 General] smek3rul:
and when is avaible this update??
[XPERIA X10 General] stylus1828:
End of august or september. ( hope so )
[XPERIA X10 General] Tjotte:
Agree on that, stay different and make the best out of it.
[XPERIA X10 General] mixxy:
why do any of us buy anything android? custimization factor....

in my honest opinion, things shouldnt need to be "fixed" that are basic. The sony ericsson hardware is amazing. Comparable, if not better, than most phones out there (and this is coming from a nexus one daily user). If i could get froyo running on my x10, it would very possibly change to my new daily phone.;)
[XPERIA X10 General] applebook:
What proof do we have that the X10 LCD is capable of reproducing 16.7 million colors? Pretty much all laptop LCDs and most cheaper TN desktop displays are only 262,144 colors dithered to "look" similar to 16.7 million.

Anyway, I'm hoping that the Rachel UI gets speed improvements with 2.X. 720p, flashlight, and an overall faster OS are bonuses.
[XPERIA X10 General] irispen:
just want to know:

-1 finger zooming?

-more than 3 home screen?

-still have the slide to menu?

-faster camera shutter speed?

and why there is no "auto flash" i know that vignette can do it, but it must have on the SE camera.
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
The fact that you're serious makes my parody of X10 users a few pages back feel a lot more true!
[XPERIA X10 General] mikrokiwi:
I can see the banding even on my computer screen which means the picture itself is ****ty, no way your phone can take away the banding if its actually there in the picture ;)

If the banding in, say market title bar is gone, the device have 16m colors! :p
[XPERIA X10 General] fonzthegreat:
how about camera quality and UI? has it improved? can you like take a comparison shot of like 2.1 and 1.6 of like the same scene? :D

android 2.1 does it has arabic language or arabic keyboard?

[XPERIA X10 General] ClintonH:
Ah yep it has .

"Speaker loudness is about the same as before, a notch louder would be nice."
[XPERIA X10 General] johnaachen:
I took that to mean when playing music....not in call volume...hopefully the OP will confirm:)
[XPERIA X10 General] vitu1994:
does it have multi touch just wondering :)
[XPERIA X10 General] stylus1828:
No multitouch!
[XPERIA X10 General] -PiLoT-:
but possibly dualtouch
[XPERIA X10 General] Infinity1988:
@gbil

Could you mention to the sony ericsson team that the picture quality sucks when zooming in in mediascape. It looks like there is some sort of grid on it and lines aren't smooth. It looks like there is aliasing. Can you also check if it is still in android 2.1 please? Thanks.
[XPERIA X10 General] sardelich:
can the good author of this thread tell us for sure one thing (which by the way if not resolved will force me to return this amazing piece of hardware to the shop): is there a software or hardware limitation to the speaker volume during a call.on street,in a tram,in a car,cant use my phone half of the time because its just plain silent.
[XPERIA X10 General] chris_knows:
I read somewhere that you should just put it on speaker phone, and set it to the lowest volume. I'm not bothered by the in-call volume, but everyone who's tried it says it works...
[XPERIA X10 General] cytokine:
Apple's MacBook Pros only ship with 6-bit panels, but SE somehow managed to shoehorn an 8-bit panel into an Android 1.6 phone and keep the whole thing secret? Call me skeptical.
[XPERIA X10 General] applebook:
Precisely, I don't know of a single laptop with a true 8-bit panel. Does any smartphone have one? I suppose the iPhone 4, but why would SE not advertise its 16.7million colors?
[XPERIA X10 General] cytokine:
Occam's razor? There just aren't any. Back when Sony released the Vaio TT with an 8-bit panel, they've made it very well known.

From Sony Ericsson's Product Launch Blog:

This is not unusual, as the HTC Evo and Droid Incredible also only support 65,536 colors. See PCMag article.

On this very thread, a forum member let gbil test a photo in his unit of Xperia running 2.1, and he confirmed that it doesn't look any better than it apparently did with 1.6: "Unfortunately the picture still looks ****ty, with the gradient very visible."

As much as I don't like saying that, it's highly likely that we will not notice any improvement in color depth of the Xperia's screen once the 2.1 update is rolled out.

With the UXP update, Sony Ericsson has promised 720p video recording and DLNA connectivity as far as hardware features go. They haven't promised any improvement in color depth beyond 65,536, which they've said is all that the screen can support.
[XPERIA X10 General] cytokine:
The picture is entirely smooth and banding free on my 24" Apple Cinema Display, which is IPS and 8-bit, with true 16.7 million colors.
[XPERIA X10 General] applebook:
Is that Sony still made?

Anyway, like I said before, all Android phones are 65k colors with dithering.
[XPERIA X10 General] jomil:
Ive been reading through and i didnt see if its been answered, does the 2. 1 update bring us embedded flash playback in the browser?
[XPERIA X10 General] TechGuru_x10:
With the size of 85 kb , you expect us to believe that you get good picture on 24inches screen...

Attach actual picture or upload somewhere else.......
[XPERIA X10 General] tiborprogmed:
update for us?

welcome

may I interest regarding to the post, how can we test 2.1 if we would like to?

bye

thx
[XPERIA X10 General] sardelich:
this is a phone,not a walkie-talkie :D

just cant believe that one of the biggest issues around is still not addressed or answered
[XPERIA X10 General] Anandc:
I want to know, does flash support the browser?
[XPERIA X10 General] damirbusic:
What are you talking about ? You can watch it on 50" plasma screen as long as the photo is not zoomed and in original resolution, you should clearly see how the photo looks. It would be small in size but colors are what we are looking.
[XPERIA X10 General] Daniel_GB:
Its a test version guys!!!

Is not supposed to act as the main version!!!

If this was so that no one would wait for the original version!!

just with a picture you cant prove that LCD is not 16M!!

is it any better Logical way to prove that?
[XPERIA X10 General] cytokine:
On my MBP the banding is actually very noticeable. That's because it can only support 6-bit color, which is also the color depth of your monitor if you see banding in the picture. Most people still don't realize that their computer displays are unable to show 16.7 million colors. If you try to view the photo on any display that has true 8-bit support you'll see smooth color transitions.
[XPERIA X10 General] cytokine:
So Android can't support 16.7 million colors yet people go on about how Xperia will get them once its updated to a now out of date version.

And that's also in spite of TN panel being structurally unable to even show that color depth.

Unless of course people think that SE has secretly outfitted the device with an IPS panel, all at a time when its desperately trying to cut production costs and looking for cheaper components.

I said it once and I'll say it again: the update will bring no improvement in color depth. The sooner people here put their wishes and desires aside and realize it, the less disappointment there'll be once the update is rolled out.
[XPERIA X10 General] Daniel_GB:
is it any Reliable Source for your words?
[XPERIA X10 General] Infinity1988:
I've got a samsung 20 inch display with 16.7 million colors and i see the banding. The picture is 24 bit if you look in the properties but that doesn't mean it can't have color banding. The picture is just bad quality. When i look up some 24bit pictures i see no banding.

Look here http://www.cs.cf.ac.uk/Dave/Multimedia/node170.html

A 640 x 480 24-bit colour image would require 921.6 KB of storage.

The picture in this thread is 960 x 800 and is 83,5KB big and it should be around 2 MB.

My old k750 had 256k colors so i expect the xperia x10 to have at least the same amount. Who even makes 64k color screens these days?

There clearly is a problem with the software, because the pictures on the phone not only lack an amount of colours, they also lack sharpness and it has a noticable grid when zooming in. If it's not an android problem, then it's a mediascape problem.
[XPERIA X10 General] Nankov:
Hi there guys i started a new thread here in the general section about the screen colors. Please share what you know there so we can see if we can figure it out.
[XPERIA X10 General] ddewbofh:
Good catch. I was about to mention that the "24-bit" image looked like crap with distinct banding on my display. When that happens on a calibrated 8-bit panel with 12-bit processing something's not right.
[XPERIA X10 General] jingkailim:
how come no one care about widget?? i love to see some sony widget on facebook and weather.:D
[XPERIA X10 General] Bennachie:
Contacted SE again about the poor incall volume rendering their equipment as a non phone. Just got this back:

Dear Sir/Madam,

Thank you for contacting the Sony Ericsson support centre regarding your X10

Andriod 2.1 is due for release within Q3 of 2010, this may be subject to change however.

This should resolve the audio issues you have explained.

Kind Regards,

Apparently, O2 is getting the X8 next month, so expect the 2.1 release for the X10 to be either before or around the same time as that...
[XPERIA X10 General] rocketpaul:
is the x8 shipping with 2.1?
[XPERIA X10 General] Vilam:
Amazing :)
[XPERIA X10 General] ddewbofh:
Just because a carrier introduces a new phone to their markets it doesn't mean that a major update will coincide. If the carrier brands their phones it actually decreases the likelyhood of theirs having the latest versions. Branding takes time so it's unlikely that a branded carrier would ship a phone with the latest and greatest, especially considering the timeframe.
[XPERIA X10 General] NotBillable:
the incall volume issue is something what the majority of complaints from x10 users is. The fact that SE released regular updates r2ba023, 024, 026 and was able to fix other issues but NOT address the in call volume issue leads me to believe that this is a hardware limitation and cannot be fixed. If this was fixable, it would have probably be addressed ASAP as calling is a primary function of the phone and any calling issues should be dealt with first.

I would not expect this issue to be resolved in the 2.1 release.

The only way this will probably be addressed is once the BL is rooted, one of the DEVs will develop a custom fix that will increase the incall volume pass its threshold levels, which may or may not be good.

Just my too cents....
[XPERIA X10 General] Findee:
I wish we could pay to become a developer like with Apple so we can get access to the early builds :(

Today I spoke with SE's support and they tell me the 2.1 update will come at the end of 2010 and the 2.2 update in Q1 of 2011.

I can't believe it!
[XPERIA X10 General] mymagicmyhero:
Really?! I can't believe it too... OMG!!!!!!!! Good news :)

PS: Hey FIX 2.1's lockscreen!!! The one I saw is ugly! :(
[XPERIA X10 General] ooidort:
I believe that it's not a hardware issue. Next time you make a call, put it on speaker mode. I'll promise you that it's LOUD. Should be fairly easy to fix, or at least override to go on speaker mode in each call.

Hey Blue&Me users, are you out there? :D

Everytime I try to connect to Blue&Me (for those who don't know: a bluetooth hands-free equipment based on WinMo), the process "com.android.phone" crashes. To be more specific, i can pair without a problem, but when B&M is trying to copy the phonebook, i get the force close.

I'm just curious because i read about lots of people using the x10 with the same version of B&M without problems.

I'm using rooted 023, could the root access be the problem?
