[XPERIA X10 General] SXUsr:
Considering you opened with...

...then your opinion is obviously a biased one. You've only started one thread about battery issues, so clearly haven't given the phone a chance.

It's actually rather simple once you get used to Android.

I use gmail, and have for a good few years now, and I just removed Moxier, Officesuite and a few other apps that I will never use.

Rooting is done by installing an app, themes can be installed through launchers, and tones can be set through settings, all free btw.

Android has the app Market, which can be viewed online, then find the app on your phone and install it.

Whilst it does have issues with the battery, a few tweaks here and there can sort them out.

Can't say I've had any issues with the screen, and wouldn't like to move to something smaller.

If you can't see the difference between a 2mp and 8mp photo, then it's no wonder you prefer the iPhone.

That just shows how little you've discovered about the phone and what can and can't be done with it.
[XPERIA X10 General] berbecverde:
i use hotmail,and yahoo...and gmail too, why?:confused:
[XPERIA X10 General] Vilam:
You said it all, iOS is more easy to use, with cydia everything is easy.

But for me it's dirty, jailbreak really ruin the perf. (I got a iOS device too).

And gui is outdated, too poor for me.

Anyway, if you like it, go on !
[XPERIA X10 General] oXunknownXo:
If you use an Exchange account then tell me how are you going to make it work without moxier, it's even better than the build in exchange support in Android 2.1

BTW i use Gmail and hotmail(mail app) and i use officesuite for some docs i have.

So you just shown us that you haven't used your X10 enough.;)

First of all, to root your X10 you only need to download an app called x10root(150kb), install it, press ROOT, you are done, if you what to revert it, press unroot, hard, isn't it?:rolleyes:

About free apps, you have an app called APKtor that has thousands of paid apps for free, working like the market, it even tells you which updates are avaliable. :p

About themes, there are hundred of free themes(launchers) like ADW, about wallpapers and ringtones, you can download them in your PC and then copy them to your phone or you can download an app called ZEDGE that let's you browse through thousands of wallpapers and ringtones, everything without rooting your phone. :cool:

iTunes is one of the worst programs ever made.

Why do you need itunes when you can copy/paste everything from your PC to your phone? about browsing and downloading apps, yo can do it with market(like appstore), with APKtor,or downloading them directly from your pc.

My battery is working fine, with 3g on i can reach 2 days and a few hours without charging my X10, i have a friend with an iPhone 4 and he has his screen brightness turned to almost 0% just to save batteries...:rolleyes:

I'm not having any lag with my X10 and i know how the iPhone 4 runs, so no problem at all.

Come on, there is a big difference between 2mpx and 8mpx.
[XPERIA X10 General] lildic:
iphone is crap!!! x10 is better.but need more updates and fix some freaking bugs too
[XPERIA X10 General] wrongfeifong:
I want an iphone too... But i can't afford one...so i will stick with my x10 until someone will trade me!

OPEN FOR TRADE Need IPHONE 4G!!!
[XPERIA X10 General] jayman1986:
Yeah ok, smart people being? You mean people who are geeks. smart people don't spend their life on blogs and forums day and night posting on every single topic there is and just slating anything that they don't agree with. I found that when I first needed help on xda I tried searching the forum but it is very difficult to find what you are looking for because its full of stupid comments made by geeks who are in love with little transistors and capacitors. If you love your x10 then fine give arguments for and against. That's what people look for in forums when they come and see whether they want to buy a phone.

But stupid and childish comments like "iphone is for dumb people"? How dumb are you?

Again your opinion, maybe you just prefer gmail. I know I don't.

Disgusting! really?

It really isn't a big issue is your taking pictures just to keep on your phone, plus the iPhone camera is a lot better than the mp that it has

Or maybe he has a busy life and can't spend every precious minute "cracking android" if other people want to do that then fine but I just want to have a life and come here every so often to get HELP if I need it, help would include having constructive arguments which would decide whether I want to buy a phone or not.

Anyway to the original post, I'm not entirely unhappy with my x10, because I do believe certain things are better than the iPhone, however when it comes to the iPhone, any features that are on the phone usually deliver perfectly without fail. They don't break promises like SE.t
[XPERIA X10 General] iridaki:
Good for you! :)

Honestly... no one cares that much! ;)

Being complex and advanced actually can be an advantage. But that's just up to the user's needs.

I use Gmail for the push notifications and OfficeSuite because I need to view office documents on my phone everyday due to work related stuff.

What does that make me? :rolleyes:

Seriously? You are a member of this forum and you don't know that "there's an app for that"? :p You can root and and unroot your device straight from your phone within an application. Not even internet connection required. And you can do a lot more than apps and ringtones, you can customise a lot of aspects of the system and make it more suitable to your needs.

I sense some ignorance here... But then again, sometimes, ignorance is bliss. :cool:

"There's an app for that" too! It's called Appbrain.

I won't get into details, but once again, it is obvious that you haven't taken the time to research the Android altogether.

Ok, I bet you 50 bucks that nobody loses 50% of their battery just by turning on the internet! I use Gmail cloud, which means I am on the internet 24/7.

My battery lasts from 20 to 30 hours straight. Not bad, huh?

My brother's iPhone 3Gs struggles to make it trough the working hours.

So, once again... what are you talking about??? :confused:

I agree about the iPhone's screen being more responsive and I am not a big fan of the lockscreen either.

The key phrase here is "not a big problem for me", so you are right on this one.

You clearly haven't understood the whole rooting and debranding/rebranding process. But it's OK, since you didn't want to bother. It's all about what a user want/needs/can do.

Don't let the door hit you on your way out!

Bye! ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] jayman1986:
Again TROLLS? Why do I keep hearing that?

Do you have thick curly hair, thick glasses, and a squeaky voice? Also do you wake up at your computer desk, coz the name I'm_iceman appears in so many blogs, do you even sleep?
[XPERIA X10 General] chongbh:
I agree with you that iphone is crap, I play with my friend's iphone 4 and it was not fantastic, I have also tested the reception problem and you cannot cover the side of the phone. It is much more heavier than X10 and the design is really ugly, just like holding onto a piece of brick or bread on hand.

With a big area on the front surface but the display is just 3.7 inch, so pathetic.

I have seen my friend jailbreak their iphone, it was a long process and there are so many steps. There are so many steps just to download the cracked app from the store, you will need to key in the code when it divert you to a website and you need to key in the right code before you and download the app.

Apktor is so much easier to download, just need to refresh the app list and search for the app you want and click install, it is so much easy compared to iphone.

Iphone is so called high tech that you need to use the dedicated cable to connect to the car head unit, can you believe that? Is this high tech?

With my X10 or any phone with Bluetooth function, I can just pair and it will auto connect to the head unit wirelessly without the hassle of using cable to connect every time I get up my car.

It really shows that you have not used your X10 much and only use basic functions, guess iphone is simple for the idiots as it is like dummy, idiot proof.
[XPERIA X10 General] jayman1986:
Xperianewbie,

My main gripe is with SE, a great phone with brilliant specs but why so far behind competition, apart from the camera what is better than the nexus one? Don't say timescape or mediascape, they are awful considering they were supposed to be the main exclusive features in the x10.

In closing this thread
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ultrashot:
Driver posted below is only for X1. Don't install it on other devices!!!

Don't know where should I post it, but I think it is more suitable for ROM Dev forum.

Everyone who tried to record calls on X1 knows that our phone records only YOUR voice,

and you hear your friend's voice badly. Driver posted below fixes this problem.

Installing

:

0)

Full backup

(use SPB Backup, for example)! I don't take any responsibility for broken phones!

1) Install driverwiz_2wayrecording.cab

2) Soft-Reset

After that you'll get "Record" menu item during calls, also you will be able to use third party recorders like Resco Audio Recorder, Vito Audio Notes and so on.

Quality isn't as great as when you record only one line, but it is much better than it was before.

You are free to use this driver in your ROM if:

1) post a link to this topic and write a little patch's description in one of the first posts of your topic.

2) write author's nickname ("ultrashot" :D )

UPD (5th of september):

Added cab made by DriverWiz util, with it you don't have to install NewSDKCerts.cab, so it means less problems with certificates.

7th of september:

deleted old cab and certs, use only driverwiz created one.

v1.2:

No sound on my X1, stock ROM R3 hixx

Have you installed NewSDKCerts.cab? No sound (on x1) means certificate problem.

However I haven't tried it on stock ROM, only on ROM without certificate checking.

2-way-In Call for X1/plz specify engines for which these drivers are!...

Hello,

onto my Leo HD2 these drivers caused a complete fail of sounds, even phone didn't ring any more. So I had to perform a hard-reset, thus wasting my time. Fortunatedly Iade a complete system-backup before installing these not-functionning drivers. Please be so kind to tell in future, for which phones your drivers are written for. Thanks!! Inuli
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] williyung:
That's completely your fault!!! Didnt you see the tittle say "[DRIVER] 2-Way In-Call recording on X1" ????:rolleyes:

On HD2 you dont need to modify the driver, just add this key and it should work!

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] quetzalquatl:
Work on Jack's 5.x ROM too. Any idea how to decrease a little bit the other party voice level? It is recorded way to loud with too much distortions leaving no room for my voice. It's like 130% with 70% ! Maybe a tweak in registry or something? Thanks!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ultrashot:
quetzalquatl, probably there are some settings in audio *.csv files. Driver doesn't have them at all. What you get is what phone hears.

I hope that new warning in the first post would be much easier to see for those who doesn't read thread titles. Also newsdkcerts.cab+old driver cab were deleted, only driverwiz created one left.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] quetzalquatl:
Where are these audio *.csv files?

Thanks!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] mytxxm:
Thanks.

I test on Laurenti_23134_v1, it's ok.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ultrashot:
1) \Windows\Audio*.csv

2) Actually phone performs further processing before sending audio to the speaker. The way driver records audio is patched to be the same as in Rhodium, Topaz, Blackstone.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] jackleung:
Opps, just noticed this thread after I posted the rom update.... Thanks a lot this new fix for X1.

@quetzalquatl, I think it's the AudioPara3.csv under /Windows. U can open it with Excel.

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Ebenthril:
Didn't work with Swedish stock ROM R3AA009.

Tried the 2-way recorder driver on a X1 with Swedish stock ROM 6.1 R3AA009.

Incoming voice was recorded with very high level and distorted.

Worst of all - there was NO sound at all at the receiving side of the call. Some panic when a important call arrived and I had to uninstall and reboot. :(
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] 85362:
ROM compitable problem?

I read several reports in this thread that it works with other ROMs.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ultrashot:
strange, that shouldn't be at all because everything driver does is mixing of different sides input/output.

Distored voice may be because of audio *.csv files or bad signal quality. You should understand that your voice is recorded via microphone (standard phone's behaviour) while the other side is recorded "as is".

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] bluelove2:
thank you very much ultrashot .Its perfect .but sometimes recorded sound is noisy.please do something for this problem .

I used AudioNotesTouch.v.1.03 .It perfect .10% of recorded files are noisy.

rom : r3a original uk
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ultrashot:
I am thinking about it, but it seems there is no solution (not sure though). Correcting sound amplitude doesn't give any results, so it is probably signal problem as I said before.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] bluelove2:
what do you mean ?

If I recorde in low reception signal area the sound will be noisy ?

but I dont think so .because my room is in high reception area

but some time recorded files are nosiy .
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ultrashot:
bluelove2, not exactly because of reception level, but due to signal phone receives... better to say "sound amplitude". Phone preprocessing deletes distortions before sending it into speaker, but it doesn't work for recording's input stream.

However it is a LOT better than it was before this driver, right?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ultrashot:
v1.2 beta-test

changelog

v1.2:

-changed input streams order. Seems to be very good against distortions

v1.1 (not published):

-now driver calculates average signal amplitude. It can clean all distortions at the expense of signal sharpness

-added new intermediate buffer

what to test:

-distortions!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] williyung:
Tested! No more distortions! Good job as always..

Thanks for sharing. Will include it in my next roms :)

6 sec recorded next 3 sec not recorded 9 sec recorded next 5 sec not recorded .

I am waiting for a better audio driver without problems .thank you very much.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] bluelove2:
oh my GOOOOD .

I still have previous problem after unistalingl beta driver .

what should I do ?

beta driver ruind recording .
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ultrashot:
bluelove2, I couldn't repeat your problem. All I tried to record recorded well. Nothing was lost.

My tests: I call from X1 to K750 and start recording.

1) I speak to both phones in the same time.

2) If there is anyone at home to help me in testing I give one of phones to him and we speak in different rooms. Otherwise I go with first phone (one of two) to another room, leave it there, talk something. Then I go back to second phone and speak there. After record stopped, I analyze results.

After your post I even read book to phone :D No problems.

Uninstall both drivers and install one of them again. Or simply delete \Windows\wavedev.dll and it will return to the state cooked in ROM.

I wait for more user feedback.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] bluelove2:
Dear ultrashot

I Installed new rom before your post .now I am using previous version .

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ultrashot:
that can be only when you use third party dialer, or x2's dialer (it doesn't support recording as far as I remember, too). However, you can use third party recorders after installing this driver.

what's the mater?

I can't make anything with it because this patch uses sound which our phone prepared for usage. So we get what phone actually hears.

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Lifenano:
Many thanks Ultrashot, one thing caught my attention: the wav file format creat large files which can very quickly fill out the "my documents" on the phone main memory. Is there a way to redirect the saved files to the storage card? or may be use a different file format like mp3 or RAF?

Just a thought for further improvement... Thanks!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ultrashot:
Lifenano, you can use any third-party recorders you want. My patch doesn't prepare output files itself, it simply gives an opportunity to record, and registry tweaks added to cab enable standard WM "record" option.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] netant:

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] netant:
Thanks for Quick response.

i have tried these too:- http://www.techparaiso.com/windows-...rd-patch-for-all-windows-mobile-phone-devices

but non of the reg setting mentioned in that page found in my registory.

im have the default dialer (SonyEricsson_X1i_firmware_GENERIC_UK_R3AA010) which dialer you would suggest to get this working ?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ultrashot:
Stock X1's dialer should be more than fine. Add options mention on techparaiso even if you don't have them by default. Actually, my cab should apply most of these options (only needed ones) itself.
