[XPERIA X10 General] PollPixx:
Now when its rooted: yes!

Changed font to sony font which looks great, get rid of useless preset apps like moxier and foreign keyboard and with adw theme with theme one its running well. Changed every default program to one of my liking and made icons for in the dock with shortcuts to them using Bettercut.

I like to see 2.1 on it for the latest apps and games which now won't install on my phone.

Battery is doing really well lately, two days without a problem and use it quite often. Except for playing games or watching video than you can actually see it draining but that is obvious.

I like the big screen and the looks of the phone very much. When it came out of the box I was not that happy, but now its modified to my likings and the battery running well I really love it.

The only thing I don't like is the way you have to unlock the phone. I actually missed calls because of this. Installed lockbot which works much easier, but now and than the sony lock screen comes back leaving you with a double lock screen. Well, some day this must be solved by a smart dev.
[XPERIA X10 General] xGary:
What OS do you have?

You can either setup an Ad-Hoc connection (Any OS as long as you are wired) or use Bzeek (XP) or Connecify (W7). Post back or search it on Google

[XPERIA X10 General] roanmy:
Yes.

I've never missed MT, and since android's game library is rather small compared to that of iOS, there isn't much reason for me to miss it.

I am curious about how it'll be with android 2.1 though...
[XPERIA X10 General] ddewbofh:
I'm very happy with mine. It does what I need a phone to do, it does it well and looks great while doing it.

Could it be improved? Of course, as can any phone. Having an unlocked bootloader would be fantastic. I've been in love with making custom ROMs since my HTC Magic (nothing published, mostly modified and tweaked CM ROMs). But since the bootloader is locked and likely won't be officially unlocked I would settle for an update to 2.1 or preferably 2.2. Not that I really need flash, animated backgrounds or any of the new features but they would be nice to have.

The phone is fast enough for my uses already so any improvements in that area would just be an extra bonus. The screen could do with a higher colourdepth but it's works well enough as it is.

Other than some non-critical wishes I'm completely satisfied. It does what it says on the box and does it well. Would I buy it again given the chance and knowing what I do today? Without a doubt.
[XPERIA X10 General] ixemun:
1. makes us wonder why you bought the phone in the first place xD it's been all over the net weeks before the phone was released that it won't have MT, period. (just curious why you want MT? for the period of 4 months using this phone, I don't see any need of MT)

2. guessing it's a firmware problem, never happened to me

3. get swype. swype is fast. xD

4. name me any touchscreen phone that comes with a screen that doesn't collect fingerprints. this can be easily solved, get a screen protector that has anti-fingerprints feature.

like this one : http://www.sgpstore.com/product_info.php/cPath/23_58/products_id/1368

As for trading it for iPhone, I'd suggest you should wait for the new hardware revision of iPhone 4, I don't see why you should get iPhone 3Gs.

-----

back to topic at hand, yea I'm happy with my X10, not quite happy with some of the laggy stock apps but some 3rd party apps covered that, I don't mind with the slow updates to 2.1 or even 2.2, having to deal iOS4 on iPhone 3G made me a very patient man.

the only downfall is that I need to apply for unlimited data plans, using this phone for work is data heavy xD
[XPERIA X10 General] gunstar3035:
I bought it when it launched and not only did I read that the phone was getting MT I had the sales rep at rogers promise me it would with 2.1

As fpr the iphone 3gs...I dont know, I bought my wife one the same day i got my xperia...I know the xperia destroys it in hardware, but I am envious at the amount of apps and easy of use she gets. I can type on that thing fast, and the whole reason I wanted the xperia was because I thought I would be able to type fast on its large screen (I came from an Nokia xpressmusic...it was a nightmare)

Anyways as far as multi touch, I think that it is the main reason I can tyle fast on the iphone. And I love it for zooming, and gaming. Even picture viewing in my opinion is nicer with MT

Anyways it all my opinion, so who cares. I will stick with what I got and pray to god that MT comes with 2.1 even though I am 99% sure it wont happen.
[XPERIA X10 General] ixemun:
Don't worry, not flaming, just curious bout ppl's opinions, having MT is a plus, we just have to wait for full root and see if the phone really does support MT or otherwise, but I'm not holding my breath for it. But yes I still suggest you go for iPhone 4 instead of 3GS if those 2 are your only option
[XPERIA X10 General] Reeonimus:
Very happy with my White X10

I upgraded from an iPhone 3G which in comparison is like watching a movie on a beta max tape, then seeing a better movie on blu-ray... and on a bigger tv :D

It's my first android phone and I plan to stick with droid for a long time. iPhones have TONS of apps, and some of it's features to beat android. Specifically typing, I use the HTC and swype keyboards which are fantastic but the accuracy on the iPhone is just perfect out of the box. More games on the iPhone but hey, if I wanted portable games i'd go get a PSP or DS right?

Widgets alone is a great reason to switch to droid. I love the level of customization!

The camera and the sheer sexiness of this phone make it a great piece of hardware.
[XPERIA X10 General] drunken_m:
Yes and no...

Yes, because it's an awesome phone, endlessly sexy, and does everything you may want/need...

No, because the low in-call volume still isn't fixed :( :( (I hope it'll be with 2.1)
[XPERIA X10 General] rkanwar:
I love my x10 fall in love with it each and everyday. Had it since day of release.

Only two complaints

Battery is starting to die quick during calls, e.g. from98% to 84% in 15minutes and since i been browsing this forum whilst still on call its down to 81 in 5mins or less.

Also the in call volume is kinda low

Otherwise lovin the boombastic phone and cannot wait for the new update!
[XPERIA X10 General] rkanwar:
Sorry the percentage drop was from 98% to 82% in approx 45 mins, its now been approx an hour and 10 mins battery is now at 76 dropping to 75
[XPERIA X10 General] tinny9:
Yes I'm happy. Because it looks just amazing. I upgraded from iPhone 2g.

Although I do miss the games which just show up on the various scene releases for iPhone.
[XPERIA X10 General] Saigonian:
I love ít design! Looks great!

Beside, i don't like the in-call volume. It's too low! Battery life is ok. And I really want a good call recorder because my work need it (in my country, it's ok to record a call).
[XPERIA X10 General] Saigonian:
Oh I forgot, I don't like its keyboard. It's not as good as Iphone. I typed wrong keys many times!
[XPERIA X10 General] Stryker777:
I like mine

Of all of the phones I have tried and researched, the X10 was more of what I wanted. There were some drawbacks, but the positives out weighed the bad.

Pros:

1) Great Camera with a flash to use as a flashlight

2) Good size screen

3) Android

4) Fast

5) My sound quality is pretty good.

6) With swype and ADW, it is very easy to use

7) RDP and ssh apps let me take care of my servers remotely, even when I am fishing in a boat, if there is an emergency.

Cons:

1) No multi-touch

2) No flash video support yet

3) They try too hard to lock things down instead of embracing open source and the benefits it offers.

That's really it for me. There are many more reasons I can think of to like it but I can't think of any more not to.
[XPERIA X10 General] NightSidew1nd3r:
No multitouch is no a con. I hate pinch to zoom and other crap gesture based inputs. It makes you have to use both hands all the time. I just hope they implement one touch zoom with 2.1.

Oh and I love my x10. My wife has a desire and I'm not impressed with it. It's ugly compared to x10. But then again again its ugly compared to dog poo
[XPERIA X10 General] Kyoma:
Am I happy with it? No. The software is outdated and the in-call volume hasn't been addressed even though it's been acknowledged.

I am, however, satisfied with it. Even with all it's shortcomings, I don't think I'd want any other phone on the market right now.
[XPERIA X10 General] the_ahmadzais:
@NightSidew1nd3r haha we are at same page my wife got desire also. i made her buy it just in case i like it and give my x10 to her but i kept my x10. but she loves her desire
[XPERIA X10 General] mmsbludhound:
As much as I hate pinch to zoom too, I personally still feel that the lack of multitouch is a con. Having multitouch = Having more choices for apps/games. Before I bought the phone I felt that not having multitouch wasn't a big deal, but once I tried SNESoid and Gameboid I could feel the need for multitouch. Well, different people have different requirements, and that's just mine.
[XPERIA X10 General] xeviro:
Definitely YES for X10.

1. Timescape is so good, cannot be compared to Moto! Blur. I havent check HTC Sense UI and SGS collaborated info though. I send and receive a lot SMS in chinese language, so the sms fits in Timescape, i don't have to open the Messages App.

2. Mediascape offers WMV playback capability for Video, nice music explorer and the best is Face Recognition in Photo. I don't bother to organize snapshots of my friends and gf.

3. PlayNow allows me to buy paid apps, which is not avaiable in Android Market for Singapore. Nexus One don't have this.

4. TrackID for looking up or searching for songs while i'm going out. Hear a catchy tunes, then look for it.

i have to agree to previous poster that lack of MT gives problem when you typing too fast. For application, i don't feel its a con. For games, i rarely play games with X10 coz i have PSP. This is just my opinion for MT, different people different requirement.

Some cons that i really expect to be there in 2.1

1. Multiple GMail account in GMail apps because i found GMail app UI is very easy to use

2. SensME for making playlist in MediaScape

3. Offline mode for Facebook and Picasa photo in MediaScape, it always need to download all over again
[XPERIA X10 General] becknise:
One of the worst decision I ever made was to get an x10i. I have been annoyed by the phone in the last 3 months than my girlfriend has in the last 2 years.
[XPERIA X10 General] Zenghelis:
Then, give it to your gf ;-)

Via Tapatalk
[XPERIA X10 General] NightSidew1nd3r:
I do agree with you on that point mt is a handy feature for a lot of things, but I am glad I don't have to put up with silly gesture inputs. I like being able to use phone one handed
[XPERIA X10 General] becknise:
And that would make me a bad guy since the phone is only going to bug her like mad.
[XPERIA X10 General] gavriel18:
Yes I'm happy with my x10. Is it the be all end all phone that I can use for the next decade? No. But its a nice package and I truly believe se did a great job with it.

The os may be on the older side but its stable. And it does just about everything I want it to.

How does it stack up against my iPhone 4? Well I'm using my x10 to type this post right now while defecating in a mall bathroom. :p and my iPhone is keeping my socks company at home.

The reason i like the x10 over the iPhone though is the community support and the ability to modify it to suit my needs. Yes it takes work but that's the fun/challenge of it. That's also why I'm getting a crt projector. :)

The iPhone is great if it suits your needs. I actually really enjoy it and its a superb phone but I got bored with it way too quick.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] atomicrm:
ok so i get the OTA and hit install now. it reboots and gets to the box with the arrow coming out and loads all the way and then goes to a screen with n android and an exclamation point and is stuck there. so i tried the manual update and got stuck rebooting over and over. long story short i have now wiped phone completely and yet clockwork mod stays there. i can not update and now have a reset phone so i am not very happy. would reverting to stock recovery help? thanks for the tips and help guys
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bugzy:
How to display the battery as percentage instead of a icon representation.

I'd rather see 45% battery life then a icon that show's half.

Any apps that you recommend for this?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crake001:
Epic Blackclass will be reeased soon and will implement this. Initially showing 10% at a time will update later with 5 % intervals.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bugzy:
whats the details on Blackclass? when will it be out? and will it run on top of Epic4G? or need root? details?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crake001:
Yes it will require root, a preliminary "version" of it should be releaseed in the next few hours.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeonMonster:
Since TouchWiz doesn't have battery percentage built into it, the only way would be changing/flashing the framework with requires root.

You can get apps that show a battery notification with %, but changing the battery icon itself to have percentage isn't possible without root.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crake001:
Don't know if I will be finished by tonight, but soon.

Preview:
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spongaweb:
Yeah that irked me there was no option in there to show it.

In fact there were other apps that when I opened up actually showed the percentage number.
[Epic 4G General] herbthehammer:
The though did cross my mind using koush's rom manager to flash one of the three available recoveries for other galaxy s phones, but I was too afraid off bricking the new phone. Maybe someone, that has nothing to lose because they are exchanging their defective phone, could try it out and see what happens? My gut tells me that "epic fail" will happen so afterwards. It's still something that makes me go hmmmm.
[Epic 4G General] rjmjr69:
I installed the rom manager doesnt seem useful without a custom recovery? lol I wont be trying it
[Epic 4G General] benofilis:
I too am way to big of a wuss to try out one of the other roms. Guess we'll have to wait until Koush get's it up there. On his website he says if you want to help develop a different rom for a device not listed, email him. I don't know if I'm stupid or just dense, but I can't find his email anywhere on that site.
[Epic 4G General] neckface:
So I was bored, and feeling rather brave a while ago. Then I remembered this thread and thought, "Why not."

As you can see from the first pic, Rom manager is showing that I've already successfully flashed a recovery, that being because I tried all variations of the Galaxy S's recovery available on Rom Manager before I got to the last when I decided to take pictures of the process with my EVO. Anyway, here's what happens, step by step. The end result is the same for each recovery.

No brick. No custom recovery. #sadpanda
[Epic 4G General] BBAHunter:
So it only works if you flash back to the original ROM?
[Epic 4G General] pjree:
Have you tried flashing it with the Clockworkmod Recovery Noobnl posted? The Samsung Recovery should be able to flash anything not signed my Sprint and Samsung.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrc91:
Hi all,

I've done a search on this and can't seem to find any advice that fixes this problem.

After a few hours after restarting the phone, GMAIL does not automatically download my emails from GMAIL. I have tried clearing the gmail data but this only works for a brief period of time.

Does anyone know how to fix this??

Thanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brownfox:
I had the same problem. The last.l thing I installed was earth. I installed it (after a lot of other try outs as clearing cache) and as a charm it worked again. As it looked like all the.programs I installed was over the size from the internal memory even if I moved it to the SD card and there was enough internal memory free.
[Epic 4G General] herbthehammer:
I'm sure many of you already know this, but I didn't. It still seems to work as a pda with wifi. Maybe it could still work as a phone if you had voip set up?!
[Epic 4G General] NeonMonster:
Lol! I used my nexus to text with google voice, and message with talk and aim for awhile once it shut off.

If you have a google voice number it texts as it normally would.
[Epic 4G General] ImSoHungry:
i use my nexus for the same thing, it replace my iphone3g, which is now just my ipod touch! lol.
[Epic 4G General] socialSavant:
Same here, but with my old Touch Pro. Skype + WiFi = my new "landline". ;-)

The only thing that stopped working for me was the Sprint software that requires cell data line. I even got it to sync with my google account so that it essentially syncs automatically and passively with my current Hero. Contacts, email, etc.

Ain't technology great? :-D

normally, when i use "gps status", locking speed is very fast, 3-5 seconds

but if i use "google maps", it will use 60 seconds or more to locking...

how can i improve google maps locking speed?

i wont to open "gps status" then open "google maps" to get locking...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siaoz85:
Hi, I just flashed JPC to my Samsung Galaxy S international version using odin with 512 pit file(Not sure if i'm suppose to use 512 or the new 803 pit file). Everything went fine and I simply love the froyo. Have not encountered any problems but instead, lots of new features.

Then i started wanting to use the stock recovery(3e) to apply update.zip to use the spitfire's mod batt, wpa_adhoc and clockworkmod recovery. But non of these can be applied. The stock recovery always shows error 'Failed to verify whole file Signature' , 'Signature verification failed'. But when I got the mod batt and wpa_adhoc update.zip files, they were said to be signed and i choose the correct files for JPC firmware. What is wrong?

I dont know will it work..but it should.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brantyr:
Thanks for the link, will try when I get home - not much point having a custom froyo rom if you can't flash unsigned update.zip's!

Flashed jpc via Kies a couple of days ago. The rom is not stable and reverted back to stock DDJG4.

Since I flashed via kies, i never had problems with recovery.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siaoz85:
I tried the method and i got the latest superuser. However, i still get errors running update.zip on the recovery (2e). I was trying to update the wpa adhoc file. Anyone had luck updating update.zip files?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00ndu:
I have no problem using recovery 2e. I deodexed my rom and placed them in the update.zip, to replace those odex files. It ran well without the error message.

CWM will not work at this moment, because the file structure between 2.1 and 2.2 is different. CWM looks for /sdcard/ but froyo 2.2 is mounted as /mnt/sdcard, hence it just stops there.

I believe CWM can be tweaked to enable a full backup for froyo.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00ndu:
Of course, because the recovery is 2e for DDJG4. ZSJP2 and XXJPC uses recovery 3e, which there is a form of signature verification implemented.

Why not just use Nimbuzz for Skype
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] blkcamarozr28:
Nimbuzz is the only Skype app that works for me now that fring lost support.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] drmacinyasha:
This has been discussed before, OP. If you try to run the Skype app from a Verizon phone, as soon as you launch it, it'll say that the app only runs on devices on the Verizon network, and then close.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] sirkirby:
IM+ by Shape Services also works with Skype. Though, only Nimbuzz will allow you to place and receive Skype calls.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] krazyflipj:
Nope for skype app from verizon but there is a lite version floating around here....
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] purefusion:
According to Engadget, an update was just released that supports WiFi, so we have to assume that until someone gets a chance to test it on a non Verizon phone, it might work now.

FWIW, I also have an EVO, so I too would like to see Skype on Android, not tied to a specific carrier, though I haven't tried Nimbuzz yet. I just want Skype to hurry up with the development of their app, and support video too, or at least unblock Fring, but who knows if that'll ever happen...

Update: apparently it still doesn't work for EVO. The APK is linked to from one of the comments here:
