[XPERIA X10 General] fonzthegreat:
I for one think Sony is planning something big for the month of September... They have been awfully quiet about the imminent release of 2.1 for the X10

I just find it unusual that news on PSP and PS3 updates have been very quiet as well.

Do you think they will announce something big this September? Especially with Tokyo Gaming Show on September and the release of PSmove as well. Could they finally announce the PSP2 with android finally? or X10 finally being updated with 2.1 and connectivity with the Playstation family of products? Tokyo Game Show would be the perfect avenue I think especially with the X10 being the best selling handset in Japan.

Here is hoping!

I just know September will be an exciting month for everyone!:D
[XPERIA X10 General] macr59:
I have a friend who works in SE and he told me that the reason for the delay in releasing updates for the X10 is because they have diverted resources away from the X10 range and onto a new product that they are working on.

This is a new phone that will have Gingerbread running on it. (Apparently it will be the first phone to have the new Andoid Software on it).

Here is a link to something I found on the web to confirm this:

http://www.xperiax10.net/2010/08/12...ia-branded-phone-running-android-gingerbread/
[XPERIA X10 General] go3asy:
Sony are always quiet. think they feel they are un-touchable so they dont need to do as much lol and can get away with silly things like 'no mt' :\ lol
[XPERIA X10 General] go3asy:
Doesnt mean they should stop working on something thats basically a new phone, typical tbh but still
[XPERIA X10 General] fonzthegreat:
could it be the PSPhone?? :D exciting
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
I don't believe this for a single second... Google own Android.. HTC build google's phones for them.... why on earth would they let SE have the first Gingerbread phone.
[XPERIA X10 General] macr59:
I am only passing on information that I was told. I found it very strange too when he told me.
[XPERIA X10 General] Cinner:
Because gaming could be a major selling point for Android and who better than Sony to deliver on this?
[XPERIA X10 General] killerskincanoe:
who better to get the most hype and then fail to deliver on an epic scale? yea that does sound like SE
[XPERIA X10 General] metcard:
Google did initially approach SE to help them develop the Nexus phone but S.E declined, so them working closely together for Gingerbread isn't that far fetched.
[XPERIA X10 General] mmk92:
theres no delay, they said Q4 when it was released than they reverted to Q3, they acually speeded up the process
[XPERIA X10 General] fonzthegreat:
Maybe because of the whole gaming initiative? maybe Sony is a major partner in developing a core part of the new android and just not a skin? just like with the whole GoogleTv? who knows
[XPERIA X10 General] fonzthegreat:
oh yeah forgot about that!

I am sure Google is scrambling to find a good gaming partner now that WinMo7 has Xbox, Apple has.. apple gaming?.. didnt Nokia have a thing with Nintendo before? So who else would Google ask help from? Zygna doesnt count because they are more on the facebook type games and cannot compete with Xbox Live
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
Um..

What does "quiet" mean? Because, as far as I can tell, SE has been announcing 2.1 is coming out by the "End of Q3" nearly daily on their twitter accounts.

Also, an update was released today in Japan, to bring Japan-specific push-email to the X10...with 2.1 still being promised in a few weeks.

Lastly, please listen to me here, it's just a phone. Breathe in, relax, and realize that your phone will be updated in the next few weeks.
[XPERIA X10 General] fonzthegreat:
I know about that :) quiet in the sense about their extra added features and improvements :) like yeah they said a bunch of times about Q3, and some features that are inherent with 2.1 like 720p recording. But beyond that what else have they said? nothing much. Thats the quiet I was referring to.. Ohwell

Cant wait for TGS, I know Sony is going to announce something big that will affect the brand as a whole
[XPERIA X10 General] se_dude:
720p isnt inherent in 2.1. Its SE's call to provide users with 720p recording more than anything else.
[XPERIA X10 General] johndub71:
The cynic in me says they haven't got it working right yet. Id be happy with buetooth sorted on 1.6
[XPERIA X10 General] Devtone:
Of-course they're making 2.1 uncrackable and the Faraday housing for the bootloader takes some extra time to build.
[XPERIA X10 General] fonzthegreat:
oh! I always thought it wasnt a limitation in 1.6 thats why it couldnt be implemented, and that 2.X was capable of it whoops
[XPERIA X10 General] kashifsiddique:
Thats like too good to be true..
[XPERIA X10 General] Reeonimus:
Even when 2.1 gets here i might not upgrade right away. Not until we have root. Either that or if the devs make progress (and it looks like they are) we may have 2.2 before too long.

I already have too many apps that rely on root that I can't live without. Mostly wifi tethering that I use.

But back on topic I think there IS a conspiracy. I think sony is actually working with a top secret team of the most intelligent minds in the world to bring gingerbread to us now.

If only one could just think something was true to make it so, am I right?
[XPERIA X10 General] go3asy:
x10 doesnt meet the min requirements for gingerbread, 512 mb ram is a min for 3.0 we have a 'retarded' 384
[XPERIA X10 General] Izzy_Deadyet:
This a quote from you in my thread:

"More app compatibility plus faster OS plus better battery. No wonder we can't wait eh?".

So you bash my question and then claim here that you're not in a real rush for 2.1?
[XPERIA X10 General] zhoustanley:
i am in the opposite boat, i will gladly upgrade to 2.1 and lose my root apps
[XPERIA X10 General] imoutits:
right, and where did you get these requirements?
[XPERIA X10 General] jojo1212:
100%

SE = sucks big time

SE = always 10 steps behind
[XPERIA X10 General] Bourbon Brain:
twitter.com/morrildl/status/17527838378
[XPERIA X10 General] Reeonimus:
Relax my friend, I was not bashing your question. I should have provided more context. From reading so so much about everyone ever so impatiently waiting for 2.1 I started to get hyped for it. Then I got to thinking, wait a minute... why AM I waiting for 2.1 so impatiently? (I'm new to android)Then I stumbled upon your thread to see the actual benefits of it.

So after knowing the context, picture me saying "Ohhh no wonder we can't wait!"

Then I came to this thread after thinking about the benefits of root compared to the benefits of 2.1 and though I am still impatiently waiting, i'll wait however much longer to have everything I want all at once.

Phew, that was a spiel. Anyhow, never meant to offend you my man.

EDIT. Realized I have a female friend named izzy so adding this line just in case:

Never meant to offend you my lady :)
[XPERIA X10 General] berbecverde:
guys it does not hurt if you read the whole thing:p :

Update: I posted an update to this post, where I address Dan Morrill’s tweet, and do some corrections/clarifications regarding the upcoming Android update number issues, “minimum” specs – thay are actually only “recommended”, and the the split between high end Android 3 – low end Android 2.2 devices – it’s not an official Google policy, but it is happening nonetheless.

But i think that we will get the Gingerbread only if our devs will bring it to us, otherwise no chance:D
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daftlush:
In Clockwork Recovery:

I get an error saying "cant mount dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (file exists)" when I try to wipe, mount, or advance restore the data partition.

In RA:

it says invalid argument

Mount data in adb says:

"mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 on /data failed: Invalid argument"

Is this a hardware problem with my memory.

I was useing CM 6.0.1 and the last thing i did was allow windows to format the internal memory when i plugged it it.

Will using an RUU help or brick?

Any help is appreciated.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daftlush:
Thanks for the help guys!

Anyways, I figured it out on my own. I was afraid of flashing an RUU when DATA cant be mounted, so i decided to restore the stock RECOVERY and turn S-ON so I could call Big Red and say their OTA jacked up my phone.

To do so, I downloaded a stock nandroid backup and started to advance restore the partitions I could (boot, system, cache). Just to see what happens I booted up the phone and to my surprise.. it worked properly. I still dont know what happened or why.

Oh, also , i used Amon Ra Recovery to format the internal storage before I started restoring via nandroid. Hope my little ordeal helps someone if they come across the same problem.

Just some pictures of Flash working and other images from 2.2
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Rhforrester:
Further Pics

More images
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dakine:
What firmware are you running there? In the pics it says 2.2 but both also show different 2.1 basebands???
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Rhforrester:
Sorry must have uiploaded a old picture

build version FRF91.372

BASEBAND VERSION XXJM1

Using JP3 for PDA

Using JP3 for CSC

and JM1 FOR PHONE.... I had issues with the JP3 phone firware, lost data connection so i reflashed to JM1 just for the phone.

It has been fantastic see bench test results
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mderm:
Hey, Just wondering nobody mentioned it till now, but I just updated my SGS with Kies to FROYO!!!!

Version is:

I9000XXJPC

Benchmark and GPS-Test later.

MOD EDIT: FYI, this update is no longer available on Kies, the only way to flash it right now is with Odin (which is rather tricky and risky...not recommended for anyone not already familiar with the process!!!)

ALSO...Flashing without unlocking the phone FIRST can make it EXTREMELY difficult (if not impossible) to unlock afterwards!! Be sure to unlock it BEFORE flashing if you're going to need it unlocked in the long run!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] NeoXTC:
OMG you're serious???

Dammit I gotta try :)

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] j0bro:
And even then, build and software numbers can be changed easily so it means nothing really.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mderm:
The reg edit was what I did, too. Was on JM2 before. Oh, and Kies was in Test mode!

How can I make a screenshot to make you believers?

Why even make a .reg-file? Just start Kies and edit your registry in regedit and go.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ThePlomer:
Hi, how can be oficial if we need to go to test mode in Kies.... Some one try and found some bugs? How is Flash player on this one? Ram memory still in 300mb? Languages? Thnx for info

;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] :
Why is everyone hacking the registry? I simply plugged in. Up popped Kies and I clicked firmware update. It all started automatically for me....2/3 downloaded now.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gtanny:

ive updated twice now but still get the same message on kies:

Current Version : PDA:JG3 / PHONE:JG1

Latest Version : PDA:JG3 / PHONE:JG1

saying i need to upgrade

i have upgraded with this twice now along with editing via regedit and deleting the numbered files in DEVICEDB and allowing kies to rebuild but still the same message.

any ideas guys i really wanna update to froyo
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DangerMUK:
rootie

Getting root now would be good !

Not having much joy tinkering . . .
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] NeoXTC:
nah mine's pretty quick. I did a reformat of internal SD though.

Right now have 7 apps opened and opening more is just as fast.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MarvinTheAndroid:
Here a reg file I made.

It fools Kies into thinking the attached phone has the JF3 firweware installed.

Lines of code contained:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

"SoftwareRevision"="I9000XXJF3/I9000OXAJF3/I9000XXJF3/I9000XXJF3"

Interesting, didn't even need the reg file in the end.

It's allowing me to upgrade from JM1 with Kies in test mode [Ctrl +Alt + U + P]

Couldn't update earlier due to insufficient battery charge.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DangerMUK:
So far in 40 mins of playing no FC and everything seems as fast as the new JP2 that I've been playing with for 8 odd hours.

Liking the fact that they fixed the adding/deleting homescreens !

That bugged me in the new JP2

Still needing root !
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] asgard:
For all the people that have installed it already, would you guys (and gals) be of the same opinion as me, which is... if this is near final 2.2 and this is the state of lag and JIT boost we will see then saying it is a massive disappointment and let down would be an understatement?

To clarify, the lag/speed generally is as good or better than any ROM out there, but a solid ROM + lagfix still feels better under "load"... and as for JIT optimization, not seeing much... I did some digging - apps can flag whether to use JIT or not, but its supposedly "on"/hardcoded for 2.2.

Thoughts?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] johoe:
root is working here - seems the I9000XXJPC_KERNEL.tar is invalid. Did not extract the kernel from the add_jpc.tar but removed everything other inside this archive so that only the zImage remaind then I did these steps:

Flashed the i9000_kernel.tar without automatic reboot in Odin

pulled battery

executed update.zip

pulled battery

flashed the add_jpc.tar (which only includes the zImage)

reboot and Bingo!!

Nothing happens when holding down ctrl alt u and p here.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] VikingDK:
I've installed it and after about an hours worth of fun I'm ready to say:

It's lightning fast for me, no hiccups whatsoever, switching between apps is instant, there's no unlock lag. For me at least, the lag has completely disappeared.

GPS is getting a fix in 2-3 seconds.

Note: LAG was horrible right after the flash, until I did a Factory Wipe, and I got tons of FCs.

wich confim window ??
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Darkstriker:
Got it. It works pretty well so far. Quadrant was 977.

And as for the CPU issue around here:

Nobody has been quite correct so far. The Snapdragon is a home-made design by Qualcomm where as the Hummingbird is a slight Cortex-A8 mod. The Snapdragon is in fact faster in CPU instructions (it does about 5% more instructions per clock-cycle)! (Yes, stop *****ing that the Hummingbird is superior everywhere). However, 5% can hardly account for a 250% scoreboost in Linpack so that is in fact to be blamed on a poorly optimized JIT compiler.

And our low quadrant score has always been the result of the bad filesystem used for the data!

Could you upload your "changed" files?

Also, how did you connect to the pc?

I got nothing showing up in Odin with Kies connection, nothing with Mass Storage alone, and with USB Debugging I got it showing up but it hanging/failing at establishing connection; used pit from the archive...

I'd love to root this one fast ^^

Help much appreciated!
