I'll kick in another $20 if you take the time to look up the definition and proper spelling of "spaming" ;)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Bored God:
I'll kick in another $20 if you realize no one cares about grammer on the interweb realize your a d###stay in Canada:) Feel free to complain about me. I'm American. Means I don't care bout you. Throw in another $5 for this post for me.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] _calum_:
Yeah, everyone's got their pet peeves, you just don't always have to voice them. My sister is an english major, and she says 'O' instead of zero like everyone else back home... personally, I can't deal with 'color' and 'favorites', but with all the programming I do I have succumbed to the american way of things and you'll never see 'colour' in any of my code :) but I still say 'O' coz I, just like 4 million other kiwis, grew up with it, eh... :D

(sorry, just couldn't resist that eh, eh... :p)

Anyway, enough OT. Take another 5euros :)

I think this will never happen for x10. Face reality people, 2.1 is the only real upgrade x10 will ever going to get. Beside the x10 is currently perfect for mine needs and if ever I wanted a better device then i will buy a better device. :)

Devs already said somewhere they didn't care about donation for the moment.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] helliewm:
I would very happily donate too. Its not about getting the latest phone. Its about having control of the software on my phone. It annoys me that phone manufacturers do not install custom roms or root the phones. Yet in the UK we are tied to 2 year contracts so our phone will be very out of date after 6-9 months.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Ditchmond:
At this point, I'm also finally ready to fork over some cash.

I upgraded my previous phone (HTC Dream) which my wife uses to 2.2, and that phone is bloody amazing now. I'm hoping once the 2.1 gets released for the x10, that someone will be able to see what changes it does to the phone, and use that to give us 2.2!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] kwunshin:
I have a really stupid idea, but thought i might share it.

How about we create one donation thread which takes the form of a poll, where each vote can count as 5/10/20/30/50 of a chosen currency (most probably USD?) by having 5 poll options (could increase options if required)

That way, no one needs to keep track and it doesn't cause as much confusion.

if any senior members think it's a good idea, please create the thread. think i will be ignored if i created it:)

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] sinkster:
Who honestly gives a ff about mt? And when 2.2 is generally available, everyone will hanker for 3.0... then 3.4, and so on. And finally, re the previous comment, If you have an x10 then get the best out of it, if you can't then by all means get an HTC. I only wanted an x10, you apparently don't know what you want.

Sorry to ask???

i know people dont like this...... but have to ask..Is there really any hope for froyo?? every thread seems stalled and all that is happening is a lot of flaming..and getting angry...:-( I guess i will be yelled at now for daring to ask....no offence is intended , its just enthusiasm...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] berbecverde:
Yep there is hope.:)

Since SE did not say anything about NO FROYO, or YES FROYO, there is hope.

And as long as some devs are working on cracking the bootloader there is HOPE.

F**k, this is not the rigth thread to discuss this.:D
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] rvictorg:
Bounty update?

Anyone know what the bounty is up to??

mezo9090 was doing a great job until his last update on August 27th (*** Total including and until Page 14 Post #138 = $1578 ***) surely we have to be approaching $2000 by now??

That's a nice chunk of change $$ for someone or a team of devs (even though the thrill of cracking the bootloader themselves would be more of a reward for them I'm sure) but maybe some disgruntled employee at SE would like to pocket that cash and help us all out? lol Or anyone at Cyanogen wanna help out?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] oiMio:
I will gladly give 5035 Zambia Kwacha

[Droid X General] wad3g:
I'm looking to improve my phone's battery life and was curious to know what some of y'alls SetCPU profile settings were.

I don't currently have any set up right now, I just simply have been using Max 1000 Min 800.

Thanks for the help.
[Droid X General] silversonic1:
I have a few thing set up. My main settings are 1000 Max, 300 Min. When the screen's off, I have it at 600 max, 300 min. And when battery life gets below 35%, it's 600 Max, 300 Min. I haven't done any testing to see how well it works, but I think it helps.
[Droid X General] wad3g:
Alright thanks, I'm going to give these profiles a try.

I've been using Max 1000 and Min 800 only, with about ~15 hours of battery life. (This is without talking on the phone very much, but texting, twitter, and web browsing)
[Droid X General] wad3g:
These profiles you shared with me have worked great on my phone. I've been talking on the phone more and just using my phone more often in general as well - with longer battery life.

I've gone from ~15 hour for a full battery to 24+ hours.

Thanks for sharing.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ritalin:
Ok so here is what I would like to have accomplished if possible.

I would like to setup and event in Taster so that when my phone connects to my cars bluetooth it will activate Vlingo's SafeReader function and then turn it off when my phone disconnects from it.

When ever I receive a text from someone have Vlingo start listing for a command to reply to the text. This part I can set, but I would like to have the function delayed for a few moments so that the SafeReader can read the text first and I dont know how to delay actions in tasker.

PS, I know there are other ways to have the text read aloud, but I actually prefer Vlingo's Text2Voice feature as it sounds more natural and less robotic.

Anyone have any ideas how to active either a widget (Vlingo SafeReader widget) or a feature in an app through Tasker?

Any help is appreciated.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparhawk6:
Funny, I just did a search today to find out how I could do this exact same thing (activate a widget in Tasker, in fact, activate the same widget you mention, SafeReader). I'll follow this thread. Hope we find an answer.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ritalin:
I also posted this over at the Tasker forums in hopes to get some help.

Did you get anywhere with this? I'd like to do the same thing.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OolonColuphid:
I am able to launch vlingo using android scripting inside tasker by calling com.vlingo.client.safereader, but it does not actually enable safereader. Perhaps there is some argument that needs to be passed?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OolonColuphid:
Strike that. I'm not convinced that my script actually worked now.

I had previously had a load app step in that profile that loaded vlingo. I deleted that step and replaced it with my script, but I suspect that Tasker was still calling the app with the step i had removed, even though the profile had been saved. Oh well... :confused:

I brought a unlock code to unlock my uk orange htc hero G2 and it unlocked but i got no signal when a simcard other than orange was inserted. So i asked around on some forums and a guy told me to flash my phone with the RUU Hero HTC Asia SEA WWE 2.73.728.5 release signed NoDriver firmware. The phone now lets me use a vodafone sim as well as the orange sim but my virgin mobile sim i always use won't work. It reads ok but i can't dial in or out. Any help would be great.

And i rooted the hero the other day but since i flashed the phone with this update i can't get in the root menu. All i get is a triangle with a ! in and a pic of a phone. How do i reroot.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mweb586:
Hey guys, Since ATT just got the X10 I was wondering which is better. My contract expires in a few days so I have some time to see which I like better. Right now I'm using an iPhone and hating it. I want something with android.

I love SE, I bought an original X1 right out of the gates, so I'm leaning a bit towards the X10 but I'm seeing that it might not have any additional benefit over the Captivate other than the awesome camera.

Help please? I travel a lot and will be going to college soon so I need a phone that will keep up with me, all day.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hiraj_panosian:
why not the EVO 4g? much better than both, but if you don't like that one go for the captivate;)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mweb586:
ATT is the best around here. We literally get full bars everywhere lol! Ok, so that's one for the Samsung...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] synlar:
If you're going to be using your phone outdoors a lot, get the X10. Samsung has the better screen, but it's OLED so when you're outside, it maybe really hard to see. But X10 screen is good as well. If you're concerned about aesthetics, I think X10 is the best looking phone there is, otherwise go for the Samsung.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rocketpaul:
The x10 is a great phone but if the captivate is anything like the galaxy s then i would go for the captivate.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PUTALE:
i am also looking at the two phone and also iphone 4 when my contract is expiring.

Things I like about the sony is the physical call and off button. Also, I think the phone has higher res camera and also 2 camera.

I think captivative overall has a better hardware: 802.11n, larger storage space, better music playback software, bluetooth 3.0. android 2.1

I know sony will upgrade to android 2.1 or maybe 2.2 and samsung is coming out 2.2. So I think the software is not a major issue now.

hard to make a choice between the 3 phones.

Once they reduce that capital letters SAMSUNG logo in front, I'll recommend it. But for now, I'll say go for White X10, cool design... :D
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emuneee:
No its Super AMOLED and its very visible outside in bright sunlight.

To the OP, just determine what you need in a device and use them both in the store. For the record, the Captivates GPS is broken and there is no camera flash. The Captivate has features that the X10 doesn't have. However the X10 will receive some of those features in a future update such as 720P video recording and Android 2.1. The Captivate has these features out of the box. My advice is to do some research online and dont rely purely on our recommendation.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rvictorg:
the only thing going for the Captivate is the screen...and only when viewing media or playing games etc. As for reading text, the X10's screen is much sharper. The build quality is much higher on the X10 too, the Galaxies get scratched real easy, just read some reviews. For me, the Galaxy Captivate/Vibrant looks like it's trying to be an iPhone which is blasphemous in my opinion lol. Not to mention the fact that everyone in the world will own some form of the Galaxy in the coming months. So if you want to have a unique and very stylish device with amazing hardware, definitely X10 because after the 2.1 update (hopefully Froyo eventually too) the software side of things won't be any different...otherwise you'll be left with a scratched up iPhone wannabe.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mweb586:
Thanks for the advice guys. I played with the X10 and I was very impressed, I guess ATT only offers it in black (sorry man), but I agree it looks damn fine. The camera was awesome and the media features were great. But the thing that sold me was that everything is solid and doesn't feel cheap. Just like my X1i, everything felt good, not gimmicky like my iPhone or the Captivate. I asked the guy in the store and he said go captivate but I real liked the x10. The screen in the cap was almost obnoxiously bright and the icons were cartoonish and silly.

Now, my only concern is android 1.6. Rumor is it'll be updated, but for the next month or 2 can I survive with it? I used to be a WM junkie, but lately I have been spoiled by my iPhone so I don't know how android works :/

BTW, the north American version doesn't have 2 cams, only 1 and there isn't a physical call button. But atleast there is a camera button, I loved that.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] berbecverde:
well i do not know of any X10 with 2 cameras:confused:
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hiraj_panosian:
I don t get this GPS problem, I dont have it on my Galaxy S, why don t you bring the phone back for repair? (or have you tried that already)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PUTALE:
i guess I was wrong about the camera.

Based on what I read, 2.1 is coming soon and Sony may even jump to 2.2 but you never konw. Loosk like manufacturers are a bit slow bringing 2.2 to the market. it's quite surprising to see Sony has not yet release 2.1 or 2.2 at all because Xperia was out like last year as oppose to Captivative that was out reently.

it seems to me that a lot of these phone, the softwrae is wehre it sets one from another. Samsung did a decent job with captivate so is Sony. But sony really neeed to get 2.1 or 2.2 out so it can really take the power of teh hardare.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuxStyle:
Lot of people are complaining about the GPS problem or low build quality of Galaxy S

Lot of people are complaining about low sound volume in call of X10.

You don't have problems with GPS.

I don't have problems with my X10.

This means this problems are not there?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naplesbill:
Well, I bought the Captivate on day 1. I had to replace it on day 3. I just returned it on day 29 and picked up the X10.

My observations on the Captivate:

Great screen

Thin design

Junky buttons (don't like soft buttons so much)

Junky PC software

Serious Lag and general OS issues

The GPS is currently broken (does not work 100% as it should)

My observations on the X10 (2-days in):

Great screen (once you disable auto brightness setting)

Great looking (IMO)

Great buttons

Great media player (on phone)

Great companion software on the PC

I haven't really noticed any lag (either on the stock or unbranded ROM)

The GPS works amazingly quickly and accurately

The bottom line for me, and the reason I returned the Captivate, is Samsung has no real history of resolving issues with devices once they are released. I am fairly confident they will resolve the GPS issue but not so confident they will resolve all the other issues plaguing the device. Random resets, inability to wake the phone from a sleep and mysterious shut downs all happened to me. I also had problems with the battery and I just wasn't feeling too warm and fuzzy about Samsung. It's a shame really, it could be a great device. They also used some abnormal file system that is apparently the biggest cause of all the lag on the device.

The Sony device, on the other hand, seems much better thought out and seems like it will last longer as well. The screen is close enough between the two (for me anyway) that it's not really an issue. It's nice having the light on the camera because I can use it with a flashlight app. The additional fact that the PC companion software is so much better than anything I've seen for Android is also reassuring. It seems to me that Sony did a much more thorough job in the R&D stage and Samsung just designed a product that looks good on paper. I am very glad that I returned the Samsung device for the Sony.

BTW, I am not a Sony fanboy by any stretch of the imagination. I just honestly feel like it's the better device overall. It was a very difficult decision to return the Captivate as it does offer some very impressive specs, but in the end I need a device that is reliable and works.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PUTALE:
a quick question for anyone who has used both phone, how are the mp3 players on either phone? Can you import your itune playlist without any issue? Also, can you see the lyrics like what you can do with iphone/ipod?

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naplesbill:
This is one area where the X10 absolutely crushes the Captivate. Sony's companion software will import your iTunes playlists. The Captivate's companion software will probably not even work, let alone import from iTunes.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mweb586:
Naplesbill, your account is the final voice I needed to hear. When I played with the captivate, it crashed and I thought it was an isolated incident, but no. I guess it happens all the time. Thanks man
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naplesbill:
I am not trying to sway anyone one way or another but think it is important that people know what they are getting into. I am a cell phone freak and change devices very frequently.

I should add that Sony really did a great job on the PC software for the X10. I have had several iPods and two Zunes. Microsoft definitely has the best media software with the Zune but I would rank the Sony software above iTunes.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waltah!:
I just returned my Captivate after 27 days. The gps is a huge factor for me when it comes to phones. Everyone knows the gps sucks on the Captivate and a fix is coming. I don't trust that Samsung will update it in a timely manner as they haven't had the best track record and gps in every Samsung device I've used was spotty. I didn't want to be past my return period and have no real fix. The screen colors pop like crazy, but the colors aren't as natural as on my N1. I watched the same content on both and the colors just weren't right on the Sammy.

Now that it's rooted, I'm going to order the X10 and give it a shot. It seems that 2.1 may help with any issues and the gps works well. The x10 design and build quality seem top notch and I'll have a fresh 30 day trial to try it out.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roaringhere:
You will like the X10 than the Captivate, I've had so many smartphones, including iPhones, but SE phones were something else...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] visitador02:
Exactly. I was at the AT&T store. The Captivate, for some reason, does not look as well-built as my Xperia. Maybe the Xperia's screen is heavier, but it does feel a bit more substantial on my hands.

Otherwise, the Captivate seems more advance, in terms of Android software.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] berbecverde:
If you ask this on the X10 forum 90% will say go for the X10,

if you ask this on the Samsung forum TADA go for the Captivate.:p

But seriously the X10 is the best built phone i ever had and the best loocking that there is, and the hardware is great too,the only drawback is the software part.:(
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidlicious:
I don't own any of these two phones, but if I were a buyer, I would certainly look into the X10 before the Captivate. My reason is because the Captivate seems like it is more cheap than the X10. On every review I've seen about the X10, praise has always been given to the design of the X10. The Captivate's main selling point for me is the screen. Other than that, there isn't really anything special about the phone. If it had a front facing camera like the European Galaxy S, then I would probably think otherwise; but it doesn't.
