Hello everyone,

I've just finished reading all the posts on this thread. I can understand people not wanting to believe what I say or ridicule me for adding a single letter to the product name Xperia.

Moving past that though and trying to justify what I have said further. Eclair is the last major update for the Experia family. SE will however bring out new phones with each new Android release which is the current working plan.

Also, just because I chose to post on this forum doesn't mean I have to spend every waking minute here. It would also be a straight ticket out of my job just by looking or posting from the office.

To everyone on this forum that owns an x10 its a touchy issue because you are quite upset with several issues besides the none Froyo release.

Main ones I can think of directly would be the low in-call volume, sudden restarts of your phone etc.

I am trying to contribute to the community and not try to give you major hopes and try to have you hang on a thin thread. What do I gain from that, I am not the one pocketing the revenue at the end of the day.

To give a possible fix for the sudden restarts. When you updated your phones you probably just plugged in the phone via the SEUS and ran the update which is not a clean update. This results in files being over written and old files and applications being broken and causing errors.

The reason it is very random to who it effects is entirely because of what app is over written, what is installed, which settings etc.

Try doing a clean install. Back up your phone first via the back up option online then run a repair. This should effectively wipe the phone and install the update clean.

The call volume is not a hardware issue. It is simply because someone decided to restrict it. I am sure many of you have tried to download some sort of volume managing software.

What you should find is that the call volume is locked to max 5. Once the bootloader is cracked and you can install your own builds you can just change this to allow for louder in-call volumes.

If there are those of you that have been upset or offended by what I have written then I do apologize. It was never the intent.

Just stop feeding us up with your pathetic lies, and trying to gain peoples trust on this forum. If u want to gain someones trust u shouldnt lie about simple stuff and just try to talk your way out of it. I hate to repeat my self, but ill do it, u deserve literally to be decapitated...
[XPERIA X10 General] naplesbill:
If you really are telling the truth and you expect anyone to actually believe you then you will have to be more specific. You have yet to describe or divulge anything specific. Every response you give is broad, vague or common knowledge.

Tell us something only an insider at Sony Ericsson could possibly know. You could start by answering the question about the common database used at SE.
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
But what happens when I don't have any problems with my phone and I just don't like reading bull**** from trolls?

Yes, I am going to harp on someone who claims to work for a company but can't spell their product's name right. It's like someone claiming to work at Apple, in the "eMac" programming department. No one is going to believe you.

I ask the mods to lock this thread, because there are insanely gullible people out there (look at my picture of an X10 on top of a cup of Frozen Yogurt. There are people who take that to mean Froyo is out.). We can't have people believing multitouch exists without proof, because then we'd have a million and 50 threads about how to activate it.
[XPERIA X10 General] tigger69:
I agree, lock this thread.
[XPERIA X10 General] SELeak:
Apparently its alright to ask for someone to be decapitated because they don't believe their posts.

This is my final post here.
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
Well if you could provide us with a bit of proof to back up atleast one of your claims I'm sure more people would listen to what you are saying. You can't expect us to blindly accept people's claims

Bye bye cya laterz
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
Hey there. I'm the president of SE's WC Affairs office. We've been working on Android 3.0 for the X10, but, it turns out that the X10's home button is just too wide for it to work properly. Maybe the devs can work on a way to get it working.
[XPERIA X10 General] sopdogg:
Man, I don't even know why people are fretting about this. Sony Ericsson has been known to do stuff like this. I bought an Xperia X1 and Sony Ericsson said that they weren't able to update it to WM6.5 because of hardware limitations and such. What did the developers do? Basically they put WM6.5 on the X1 and got it running. Windows Mobile and Panel support is basically dead. I have been a faithful SE fan for a long time but their track record basically backs up what the OP is saying. SE keep screwing over everyone who buys a phone from them by not supporting updates when newer phones come out. As a new X10 owner it pains me to hear that no other major updates are planned other than possible firmware updates, but I doubt that will continue too. But I did see this coming. I had a glimmer of hope when SE announced all their "new" android lines such as the X8. Rumors are probably true about the Xperia/PSP phone. Development and resources will be focused on that.

As for Multi-touch? SE gave us crap that they can't do multi-touch because of hardware limitations, I speculate that it all has to do with Apple suing HTC and other phone manufacturers because of patent infringements. I'm pretty sure it was foresight by SE that they did not want to be a part of that lawsuit. Calculated decision by SE. HTC and others will be forking over cash to Apple soon.

Let's face it Xperia X10 users, Sony Ericsson makes nice phones but they don't support their products after a year. They are always after trying to make the newest, latest, greatest toy that does not get released until they are outdated anyways (X2, X8 and sad to say it but the X10). Reports say that SE wants to become the #1 Android phone supplier. How can they do this? Make a whole bunch of crappy Android phones that are cheap like the X8 with last gen specs and put them on the market. What you see is almost always what you'll get. A pretty device.

I hope the OP is wrong, but what has SE done to prove otherwise? We're still talking about eclair while the whole world is talking about Froyo, gingerbread and now honeycomb. It's up to the community to bring those updates to the X10 just like they brought WM6.5 to the Xperia X1.
[XPERIA X10 General] xeviro:
I always amazed on how smartphone nowadays changes everyone's life .. if you don't want to believe him then asking for claim. then stop flaming first. give a chance. stop posting back, let him finish and show prove.

why we have to get so emotional about it and just wasting our time flaming and kicking.

if his claim is true, we got benefit, if he cannot prove anything, ignore him. life goes on.
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
By "no planned updates" do you mean "we'll implement future versions after 2.1 is released" means they aren't?

SE hasn't said "We can't do xxx." yet for the X10. Infact, they've said the opposite. Public statements don't support the op's theories.

I don't need any sort of "proof". I bought a phone, not an operating system. If Android versions were important to me, I would've bought a Nexus One. It's awesome we're getting an upgrade to a newer version. It'll be even more awesome if that version gets upgraded too. I didn't buy the phone hinging on updates.

Also, one last question for you: If you've been burned by SE in the past, and you claim to know their history so well, why did you buy another SE phone...? I can't even begin to think how that makes sense.
[XPERIA X10 General] Contrarian:
We're sorry you are not happy with___ your x10 purchase seleak but spare us with your resentful bull**** ok. Just sell the f'n thing and stop annoying those who actually like it.
[XPERIA X10 General] naplesbill:
The harm is simple, his only purpose is to scare people away from this device. He is likely either an Apple fanboy or a fan of HTC, Samsung, Nokia, Whatever. He is trying to be slick by pretending to care but the reality is different and he is really just messing with people for his own enjoyment. He probably figured this thread would blow up with people outraged at Sony, then when that didn't happen, he mentions multi-touch. Obvious trolling to me. I don't want anyone to fall for this nonsense.
[XPERIA X10 General] xeviro:
I totally agree with you. I buy X10 because i like the phone design, timescape and mediascape. Have next update would be awesome. I work as mobile software developer in my office, have a lot of phone for development testing inside my drawer and one of them is Nexus One. But i still prefer to use X10 instead of Nexus One.

A lot of things i can do with X10, but you can't do with Nexus One.

1. Watching HD TV series in 16:9 LCD, and it can also play WMV

2. It comes with a good media player, while Nexus One comes with basic boring player

3. Face recognition, i like to snap photo of my friends and gf a lot. Doesn't even have to bother to makes folder to organize the photo.

4. Timescape is also good, as i don't need to go browse to my inboxes just to check all new mails, just swipe the timescape and see them all

5. I use track id a lot, i go around, here some good music, then search for the names with track id

6. And all of this i can do without downloading 3rd party apps. I like my phone clean.

If you cannot life without updates, then SE phone might not be a good choice for you.

By the way what bothers me is that why SE never mention about porting the SensME function into X10. :confused: Having these feature would be very nice.
[XPERIA X10 General] becknise:
To everyone who don't believe this guy, one good reason not to? (apart from no evidence of working with sony).
[XPERIA X10 General] sopdogg:
@iead1 $79.99 for a smartphone is hard to pass up no matter the issues. Fact is, it doesn't make too much sense. I've gotten flamed on Facebook by friends and by my girlfriend enough for wanting to get another SE/Xperia phone. You can actually check out my twitter page for my tweets/rant on Sony Ericsson & the X10 on August 19th.

Rationale sometimes goes out the door when it comes down to fanboyism.

I needed a phone and SE delivers on making good phones. Support is a different issue.

"SE is a business, and their business is selling phones, not operating systems. If their phone works as advertised, that's all a consumer can ask for."

I got to say that i dont mind the op's post at all but the people behaving like litle kidds and have no manners are discusting.:( As i see it it dosent matter if a person is right or not he/she still has the right to post what ever he/she wants as long as it's not offending or agains forum rules.
[XPERIA X10 General] roaringhere:
Wow! That was my thinking exactly, and you put it into words. Thanks! I an a happy user of this phone. It's just a phone, and use it as such, anything that comes with it is extra feature...

I don't think Google even thinks of 2.2 as a major release. From a 1.x to a 2.x is a major release, IMO a .1 increase is a minor release. If this person really wanted to provide useful info he/she would tell us what customizations have been made to 2.1, like kernel version etc.

Totally agree... what's happened to everyone lately???

No offence but apart from a minority the xperia community is the worst community when it comes to manners and behaviour sadly!

I know some may not like what i have said but unfortunately this is the case.. its what pushed the dev's to a private forum in the beginning in case anyone has forgot...

Keep it together people!!
[XPERIA X10 General] tigger69:
If someone is going to come on here and make claims of i'm this or that or i have this or that, and provide no proof what so ever, what can they expect the reaction to be?

I think members are just getting sick of people coming on and claiming stuff but providing no proof at all, even when asked multiple times to provide some.

To anyone else who comes, provide proof or stfu and dont bother posting your fud.
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
@marylandcookie.. it's funny you know in the early days of the x10 forum, someone came on and posted about refreshing it was that everyone was so helpful and polite... I think the problem is simple.. stupid people... they're everywhere.. !!!! It's the stench, I can smell it, like a virus consuming everything... (!!!!)
[XPERIA X10 General] naplesbill:
It has nothing to do with manners. How can anyone come on a forum as well known as XDA, claim they are from a big name company, claim they will share some insider info (which they did not do, purely created more speculation), then never respond to any request for verification they are who they say they are? The whole thing is ridiculous and was done just to feed the fears of X10 users and getting updates beyond 2.1. You catch more bees with honey than you do with poison.

It's also funny that this guy appears right after tomboss and ihim disappeared. Come on people, think about that. The comment about decapitation was definitely over the line but otherwise, who has been rude?
[XPERIA X10 General] FRAPSROOTET:
Amen to that.
[XPERIA X10 General] FRAPSROOTET:
Are u expecting me to feel sorry?

Well guess what, Im not, cause u are feeding every single person on this forum with "BS" and trolling is a comon word for "psychology problems and even stress thru child hood etc.. I think you need to socialize with others than your Computer.. since your head seems to be frieed, cause u only told lies so far and none of them where even close to be true, besides comon knowlege.. giggle what a waste of time u turned out be for u self.. Hope u will digg your own grave and think about your misery life..

Amen troll..
[XPERIA X10 General] lawless_benji:
Maybe they should politely ask for proof, then ignore the thread if it offends them that much instead of saying the op deserves to be decapitated!

[Vibrant General] realcyberbob:
Would it be possible for somebody to release a mod that when you enable TV out, your phone's screen will still timeout at whatever time you have it set (ex: 30sec), but what is being shown through TV out will still be on? If you were to touch the screen it would turn on again, allowing you to pause/ff/rw/stop whatever you're watching. I think this would help a lot with battery life when you're displaying something on a larger screen and don't need to see it on your phone.
[Vibrant General] PSP_Hacker:
In Android, when the screen turns off due to a timeout or lock, it will suspend things like media, webkit stuff, and the UI. So the only way this would work out is if someone modified the media library so it doesn't suspend when the "screen off" event happens.

BUT! I have used an application (requiring root) that will set the screen brightness below the system's limit, so instead of being restricted to 20 out of 255 as the minimum, you can set it to 0.

With this, it is possible for an application to detect user inactivity, and set the brightness to 0/255 after inactivity, while you keep the Android screen timeout setting to "Never" so that the media doesn't suspend and everything keeps running.

I remember awhile back someone posted the code for removing all the adds on your phone thru adb shell but can't find them right now if someone knows them off hand that would be great thank you
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cupcakera:
Are you sure you're not thinking of Ad-free? It is an app from the market that, provided you have root access, blocks advertisements in applications on your phone. I use and love it. You would only have to use adb to get Ad-free functioning on a phone without Unrevoked Forever, however.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krelvinaz:
To do this, all you need is to replace the /etc/hosts file with one that has the ad sites in it pointed to localhost.

You can install this if root with S-OFF, you can use Root Explorer while the phone is running to make the changes.

You can get the hosts file from: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=664532

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] padanfain:
Whenever I turn off my phone, or reboot it, it boots into a frozen bootloader. I can't move around or power off the device. If I plug in the USB cable and use fastboot, I can boot the phone (e.g. fastboot reboot), and then it will go into the ROM i have loaded (CM 6), but the ROM has "safe mode" at the bottom left.

What in the world is going on here?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
It might be one of your hard buttons getting stuck (VolumeUp or VolumeDown - the one that's calling the bootloader when combined with power button). You could adb logcat the boot, and search for the failures in the CM boot log, that might also pinpoint the guesswork.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] padanfain:
Well, it loads into the bootloader even if I tell it to reboot via the ROM. So I am not holding down any keys.

Also, in the boot menu that it boots into, my recovery menu option is missing.

I do seem to be able to reboot directly into recovery (I am running v1.5.3)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] padanfain:
doing a logcat when the device is in the bootloader gets me nothing as it just sits there waiting for the device.

running logcat while the thing is booting into CM shows:

/WindowManager( 127): SAFE MODE ENABLED (menu=0 s=0 dpad=0 trackball=1)

does this mean my trackball is stuck?

And while i can get into RA via the reboot to recovery option in CM, I can't actually do anything (pressing the trackball does nothing).
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Yep, your trackball is stuck.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdmba:
I am stock 2.2 Froyo (ran the RUU last night).

Has anyone experienced applications showing up in Appbrain (or the market) as needing an update, but when you try, it says that "the requested item cannot be found".

An example is Text-To-Speech Extended, which is required for Google Translate. It shows up as being needed on the install, but when it tries to install, it cannot find it and fails. If you go to Appbrain/market to install it, it shows ready to download/install, but then it cannot find it and fails.

Any ideas?

+1 on this... I'm dealing with that after rooting and KaosFroyoing my Droid Eris. In my case I pulled TTS Extended, as well as "Flybys" and "Yams" out of a backup; however, now Flybys wants an update which isn't found. I've written the contact and he says he'll ask the developer....
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RojasTKD:
I just updated my Captivate to the "unofficial... official" Froyo that was posted here on XDA. I also can't find TTS Extended in the market.

How do I install from the file you attached? I Downloaded it, but don't know how to install it.

Hi, does anyone else has a big C like a water mark on your phones?

The app is wifi Analyzer.

that looks like a burned in

try running a pure white screen

then a pure black screen

see if you can still spot that C
[Galaxy S I9000 General] katsuru:
That is a burn in. No doubts, you should run some app that does what Allgamer said, and if possible even with RGB colors as well.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] jutezak:
Could it be that the phones have been in the sun with the protective film on?

I remember AMOLED screens being sensitive to light, that light being th ereason for wear. but external sunlight MIGHT also have that effect. When it is the sun with that cover for a few weeks...

possible?

[Galaxy S I9000 General] nemethb:
Agreed.

I see three options:

1. Leave your phone in the sun for an extended period of time so that it hopefully evens out the mark. Problem is you would purposely be wearing down the phone so the mark isn't as visible.

2. Use your phone normally and over time it should go away.

3. Return your phone and get a non-defective one. If they give you a hard time (and you aren't past the 14days/30minutes) just say you'll return it and get a new one if they don't give you what you want (reps. can be pricks sometimes).
