In all my thread searching for miscellaneous reasons, I've come across screen shots of bootloaders that have different hboot numbers. I have .77 and have seen shots of .79, .88, and a mention of .92(?).

I bring this up to find out if it matters what hboot you have in any way. And if it does matter how to actually update them.

I have s-off running Sense SkyRaider 2.5.2 and hydra ocuv 1.15 v1.0.

[G1 General] MoslimBrother:
Thanks lot for the tip. Very useful.

There is another trick for those who have access to internet on their SIM card (3G). Here is what you have to do:

1- When you get to the Welcome Screen (with the logo "Android" and the message "Touch the android to begin" ), press the menu botton

2- if "APN Settings" will popup then go to 5

3- if "Wfi Settings" Pops Up: click on it.

4- Now click on "Access Point Names"

5- Click on the menu botton again and you'll see New APN, click on it

6- Configure your 3G settings and click the menu botton again to save the changes.

Click the "Back" botton to go back to the welcome screen.

click on the "Android Logo" then "Next"

Now either you enter a gmail account or create one, it will accept it and take you to the menu at the end.

Hope i helped

[XPERIA X10 General] CinCa0989:
I swear this is a serious question... I have posted here and not the Captivate forum because I really want thoughtful responses and not smart-ass answers.

After over a year's wait, the X10 is finally coming to AT&T tomorrow. I've had only Ericssons and Sony Ericssons since 1998. I have always been a fan of SE designs and loved having a unique phone. Perhaps earlier this year I would have immediately jumped on the X10. However, the Samsung Captivate has generally received higher scores, and on multiple reviews, has also been named the best Android phone on AT&T.

I am trying really hard to like the X10 more than the Captivate, but can any X10 owners offer compelling reasons to go with the X10? Please assume the 2.1 update arrives as planned. I understand this is objective, but I really just want the "best" AT&T phone.

So far, my main reasons to go with the X10 are:

1) I love SE phones.

2) I've loved SE cameras, and the X10's appears to perform better than the Captivate's.

3) The camera flash/bright LED light has saved me in more than one situation throughout the years.

4) Mediascape seems to be highly regarded in most of the reviews I have read, and I plan to upload music, pictures, and videos to this phone.

5) I personally like the X10 design more than the Captivate.

Also, a few questions before I play with both phones tomorrow:

1) Does the lack of multi-touch really make a difference?

2) Does the UXP act as clunky as reviews have said it does?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

Christian
[XPERIA X10 General] jingkailim:
In my mind x10 is not the best smart phone out there.

It has a os version behind others and lack of mt

I not sure is 2.1 will improve the system as i never tried b4

but if u not a hardcore gamer den mt is not a problem for you.

Lack of mt mean can't play game like pspxdroid smootly

And Samsung Captivate is really a powerful mobile but the power usage is higher too.

X10 is the only phone i know that your phone can last u a day without much worry that your batt will run out till the end of the day if you control your batt usage well.

And i just love the design of the phone i think is the few design that score toe to toe with iphone 4g and that why i go for it. And the problem with all the older os compare to htc/samsumg cause x10 have a sony UI design where making it different. I love the background at the setting page compare to the normal black background (just make you think it not customize before)

But if you got the chances to hold both phone i believe x10 look really great especial the white phone=)

Note: Some other user said: Buying a smart phone is like getting a wife. =)

it never going to be prefect in any way. But if you love it? that good enough.

Hope you pick the right wife for you=)
[XPERIA X10 General] Bobster66:
You already put up 5 good reasons to get the X10 so it sounds to me like you already want it.

As to your questions:

1: Multi touch was impressive when I tried it other phones and was a big negative against me getting the X10, but now that I got the X10 anyway the controls work just fine for me.

2: I'm sure the user experience could be better, I don't like everything about this phone but it seems pretty good overall. I would say as just a phone, the X10 needs some improvement, but as a data device it does everything I need.
[XPERIA X10 General] ruskival:
my opinion

hi im from australia,

we dont have the samsung captivate but we have the samsung galaxy s, and i curently own the SE X10 which i chose over the samsung galaxy s.

i work in a telco shop so i get to play with the galaxy all the time and ive compared it to my x10, and i chose the x10.

this is what ive notices about the 2 handsets.

X10:

the battery life in the start was really bad, but as about 2 weeks passed, the battery actually started lasting longer, must be just because it was new and just needed a few proper charges.

the original software that came on it was a bit laggy an had a few problems with it but im now on the (26) software and its working great

i personally dont care for multi touch and not so much about games either (i have ipod touch and i play all my games on that.

although i have quiet a lot of games on my x10 and they all play great,

i use vignette as my main camera app and the photos i get with it are spectacular you may check them here http://img375.imageshack.us/g/20100710160347439.jpg/

i prefer the screen of the x10, yes i know that the galaxy has a supper amoled, ive had the omnia II i8000 which had an amoled screen and really dont care for it.

with the update the phone will be even better and faster. at the same time as much as i hope we get 2.1 soon and 2.2 following i really dont think that numbers matter too much, i got the phone because it did what i wanted for me.

now on to the GALAXY S:

great supper amoled screen,

16gig internal memory

multi touch

2.1 and soon getting 2.2 which will make it as insane phone especially for games (if thats what you want)

but one thing ive noticed is that when ever i use our store demo which has the latest software and all the same apps as my x10 (i set it up in the same way)

the galaxy s seems to lag a fair bit over time and requires a reboot to fix that.

the only thing that the galaxy has that i really wanted was SWYPE KEYBOARD and i actually got it on my x10 and its working great.

at the same time i see a lot of people buying both these phones, and no one as of yet has come back with problems with them,

i dont know if ive helped much in your decision but i just say pick one that has what you want
[XPERIA X10 General] citsym:
To answer some of your questions:

UXP is quite good. That being said, Mediascape should make you change your mind. It's definitely good, but not good enough to die for. You will find better picture viewers (JustPictures) and media players (Rock Player) in the Android market for free.

Captivate has multi-touch, SAMOLED and newer Android. However, it's build quality is weaker.

Multitouch doesnt matter in most apps. Pinch and zoom isn't really a big deal. However, some of the games require multi-touch. Once again, it isn't a deal breaker, but it is important enough to be considered.

Btw, Amazon will be offering X10 with contract for 50 bucks. What is the best deal you can get on the Captivate?

[XPERIA X10 General] consolation:
There's one reason I would not recommend buying a SE phone, cruddy customer support and a desire to have people update to latest phone rather then keep developing older models. They try to make the customers pay over and over for the same stuff, look at the way they treated PSP users who got the new model.

Sony doesn't get enthusiast smart phones, HTC and Apple do; they know that regular on time updates are important to us. That's who I'd be buying a smart phone from. Sony cater to the mass market uneducated customers who dont know how to upgrade their os or don't care.

Upshot, we will get 2.1 very late, we might get 2.2 when everyone is getting 3.0. I'll eat my hat if X10 will get 3.0, by then SE will see it as cannibalizing sales of their newest phone.

Also, x10 lacks the 512 ram that's talked about as likely prerequisite for 3.0. So, it's a well built phone with a limited lifespan. I'd go with an HTC phone for android, they get smartphones and have a prooven track record. Samsung are new at this game, so we will see. The Galaxy build quality is much poorer than SE, HTC or Apple.

1st Sony and Sony Ericsson are two different companies.

2nd we have plenty of firmware updates but no OS updates. We will have one very soon now. HTC have made a lot more Android phones. This is SE's first and i think they did a pretty good job as well.

3rd there is no prerequisite for Android 3.0. Google haven't said anything about that.
[XPERIA X10 General] kitsVA:
I'd say go with what you really like in your hand and to your eyes. Both are great phones and you will get over many of the cons with either phones with help on several forums.

I owned several phones in the last 3 years and started to like to SE designs more ever since I owned W910. Recently, I owned Nexus One and iPhone 4 but settled with X10 mainly for how it feels in my hands and for the looks.

It has quite a few annoying functionality issues but I got around them after a week or two. I have the white X10a which makes it even more special.

99% of the time I use my phone to make calls, text, googleTalk, Maps, and Browsing. So, MT doesn't even come to my thoughts and 1.6 feels fine.

Some apps that makes X10 even better

1. ADW Launcher

2. CalWidget

3. Beautiful Widgets (Paid App)

4. Weather & Toggle Donate (paid). You don't need if u get Beautiful Widgets.

5. Switch Pro Widget (Paid app)

6. JustPictures (I use Smugmug so, it rocks)

7. MixZing Media Player

8. Data Counter widget (if you don't have unlimited data plan)
[XPERIA X10 General] consolation:
1) SE is owned 50% by Sony and share lots of board members, marketing etc etc. It's for all intents and purposes a subsidiary company,

2) Yes, firmware updates that FAILED to address basic flaws in the phone, and would have been unnecessary if they rolled out 2.0, 2.1, and we should have 2.2 by now. Instead we are hoping that maybe we can get 2.1 - 6 months late. The phone is well made, no argument, not quite up to Apple standard, but definitely better built than other top tier androids.

SE won't learn if they treat customers like **** and we take it. I'm not sure that they can change their corporate mentality enough to make a difference. It's a massive multi-national, X10 is one of millions of other products ranging from bog rolls to rockets, they will never care as much about any individual product. HTC makes smart phones, they can't afford to get a bad rep, this is good for us, the customers. Even Apple have more at stake with the iPhone. I fear Samsung will head in SE's footsteps, but, I haven't heard much about them either way. Sony has a reputation for spreading their customers' butt cheeks and ramming **** in.

3) The 512MB RAM pre-req has been floated by a number of sources, it will give SE perfect excuse not to give us 3.0; almost like it's been planned...

Also, another reason to avoid SE, we had pretty little progress on hacking the bootloader. Sony are fanatically against modding communities on their products - I wouldn't be surprised if it's never broken.

All in all, if you've already got X10, and it's working fine for you - I wouldn't rush out and sell it. However, you can get better phones from more customer friendly manufacturers nowadays; I would NOT buy a new X10.
[XPERIA X10 General] consolation:

[XPERIA X10 General] khanem:
i think that you will have to choose between a good build quality and lack of software upgrades (SE) and moderate build quality but better software support (samsung). I would go with the first choice but there is little chance that the bootloader will be cracked so no custom ROM to compensate SE laziness.
[XPERIA X10 General] Tjotte:
I'm sorry but why the **** did you get a SE phone for in the first place? You seem to really hate SE down to the core and yet you support them by buying their products, seems very strange to me. And SE has been totally open from the beginning with the OS issue and you should very well have known what you purchased, if not, the only failer here is you and not SE. And just look at the magics they have worked on 1.6! The only real difference from 2.1 is a tidy bit slower kernel and no live wallpapers, appart from that SE really did transform 1.6 in a fantastic way and i high hopes for further releases.
[XPERIA X10 General] HunteronX:
Here's the 1.6 vs 2.1 difference:

http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-2.0-highlights.html

http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-2.1.html

Although, I agree with you that SE have made 1.6 a LOT better than the stock version.

And I think we'll get 2.2 at least because of this:

But, when we'll get it, is the problem.
[XPERIA X10 General] HunteronX:
@CinCa0989

I would choose the Samsung Captivate if you want to play 3D games on your phone, due to its better gpu and multitouch capability.

I would also choose it if you want the latest software, whatever it is.

If you don't care about 3d games, multitouch or updates, get the X10.

Also, choose the X10, if you like taking pictures, and want better-looking videos. It will have 720p recording soon (by Q3 end), and an LED is better than no LED.
[XPERIA X10 General] consolation:
Don't apologise for SE, you sound like someone in an abusive relations who takes any scraps thrown at you as evidence of "love." He hits me 'cause he loves me... SE took people who paid for a premium phone for a ride, no excuses, premium products should come with premium support. I don't hate SE, they are big corp acting like big corps do, but I don't have to like getting shafted.

TBH, I got it for my GF who wanted a decent camera; she used it for a couple of weeks, said "what a piece of crap" and got an iPhone 4. Although her beef was more with the flea market, sorry, android marketplace and the OS rather than the hardware - well she had some pretty strong opinions on the lack of multitouch. Since I need an android phone for work, I ditched my MT3G and hanged on to the XPERIA. I actually think there's a great phone struggling to be set free in there; if we could get 2.2 & ditch all the Sony crapola we'd be rocking.
[XPERIA X10 General] realunited123:
Hey guys no need to be rude. The OP asked for personal opinion and not smart-ass answers .As far as "what a piece of crap" goes did you mean the camera is crap or the phone? In my opinion X10 has one of the best camera if not the best available in Android phones.
[XPERIA X10 General] consolation:
Yes the camera is as good as they get. My only issue is lack of mic levels so it's hard to record gigs without clipping.

I'm in Australia, so we don't have the captivate. The x10 is probably the most capable android here next to the galaxy s. Problem is, our model is butt ugly. Having said that, the captivate looks spectacular.

Other than that, they both run android. My phone before this was a hero, my x10 feels pretty much like im using the same phone. Throw the same home replacement onto Both of them and they're even less distinguishable; so really I think what this decision, for me at least would come down to external aesthetics, and for me, I think the captivate looks better.

well first you shouldn't be using a task killer. Second they show up there because some apps run in the background occasionally without you even opening them.

[Vibrant General] JeremyNT:
Most stuff needn't be killed, but T-Mobile includes some bloatware that has absolutely no right to be running at all, much less all the time (hi, daily briefing). The "don't use a task manager" meme is fine for a stock android phone where presumably you're only installing things that you actually want to use, but when you buy a branded phone you really *don't* want the carrier garbage running all the time. At best, it sits around doing nothing until Android kills it on its own, but at worst it can drain your battery life and cause instability.

The only surefire solution I've found is to actually remove the offending bloatware using root explorer or titanium backup.
[Vibrant General] vinnydakid:
^^TL;DR Remove bloat, don't use a task killer.
