To be honest the 2.1 update doesn't really do much for these phones. However it is obvious that SE didn't give too much attention to the fact that using Android meant that their timeplans would be compared against those of many other Android licensors. Also I think they underestimated that a large part of the Android community is made of geeks. They are used to selling phones to people who don't even know what an operating system is.

In reality this delay means almost nothing but it's a PR disaster.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Darkbidule:
Totally agree with you !
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] paul c:
lol - for undemanding users, Apple have sewn up that segment of smartphone users. Maybe RIM too. Symbian.. are they smartphones/will they be around much longer?

But Windows & Android require more maintenance. As a SE owner for the last 5? years, I can attest to their serial ability to miss deadlines.

However, this is new for them, the need to sew on their interface to a constantly evolving OS. So expect more missed deadlines, and slow adoption of 2.2

But I can't say I'm surprised...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] anonimo:
I am not an Android expert but if that GUI stuff they have done is so difficult to port from 1.6 to 2.1 then they must have taken very poor decisions when developing the software. Look at the Android Market: 95% of the applications will run on any version from 1.6 to 2.2 without even the need to recompile the code.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] cchaos:
Actually theres a few "geeks" in the SE JAVA community side as well, that like modding their phones so it looks like its an android (and thats just for starters ;))
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Eseb0:
Over here I still haven't got the previous update, 1.2-whatever, so I'm not holding my breath any way :P
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] chetermaat:
Pfff

Pfff My unbranded HTC Hero had eclair (android 2.1) installed almost a year ago. And yes also HTC had official problems with release dates for 2.1.

I,m disappointed that SE also shifts up their 2.1 update. but the lack of custom Roms (think it's SE's popularity. Wil revert me back to HTC again as soon as I buy a new phone again.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] bootchee:
Yes this is a big disappointment. When i compare my previous HTC Windows phone, the updates were quicker, and also the custom roms made things alot more interesting. I will be buying Android again, but not from SE.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ubi4e:
the most of other android smartphone has already 2.1 or 2.2, in december gingerbread will be realesed and so SE 2.1 will be outdated..

SE really disappointed me..
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] paul c:
Updates were quicker?? I had 2 WM phones, a Prophet and my current X1, and NO updates were forthcoming. I was saved only by the excellent work of the cooks here.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] silviantrius:
I like my X10 Mini even with 1.6.

It runs faster and is more stable than my Galaxy S with 2.1.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] tecmobility:
Maybe we are overcrying this release delay. Our phone is not unusable, other companies are delaying even more. I have seen in the blogs people crying like they have an non-usable phone. The only real problem is the Sim issue that in some countries they have adresses in some others not.

In reality our community want just to change firmware and this is why we are here in xda.

I am also annoyed, I am also willing to update my firmware every month...but for this we need the support of our chefs.

By the way i understand that a SW planning can deviate; in our company we have just postponed a release by one month.

I agree that the communication was bad, they could even have released an interim version for us the geek.

This is just MHO
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] robopants:
What features are you missing right now? I think the x10 can do all i need it too with 1.6.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] wiilweer:
Hello XDA community!

My account is new but I have viewed this forum up to 2 weeks by now. Also I'm a new owner of X10 mini. And I think it is almost great phone, nice camera, good video quality for little phone and I can make calls and sms. Compared to my old E51 this phone rocks! To me those 2.1's and 1.6's are just a numbers. I can do everything I want to do and I don't miss anything. No lag etc. I don't get why, just why are people flaming SE...Yes I know it was a mistake to promise something what they can't to. Well I'm also waiting for update, but I'm not so curious about it.

Maybe my english is not so good as it should be but I think that you understand my text.

Regards,

wiilweer

you having wrong phone in your hand.....Smart phone is not only for call,sms,camera..its more than that.

Well mini is small and this was reason why i buyed it. I don't want to argue with you. I like it and thats it.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] anonimo:
So please explain exactly what in Android 2.1 (or 2.2) will make the X10 Mini a better smartphone for you.

The way I see things is that 2.1 will introduce functions I don't care at all (such as using Facebook to put pictures in your contacts) so in my opinion you can make up your mind about the X10 Mini being or not being the right smartphone for you regardless of 1.6 or 2.1 or any other Android version. The few quirks of this phone could be solved by SonyEricsson without updating Android at all.

All this "My phone has got 2.2, poor you, you still have 1.6" crap is as childish as "my **** is bigger than yours".
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] MrMustaine:
I don't know for you guys, but for me one of the biggest problems of x10 mini is that it don't have implemented some wireless protocols that in my opinion are fundamental, such as WPA Enterprise. And it should have EAP-TTLS with PAP or EAP-PEAP with MSCHAPv2 too.

Other problem is to install certificates. In HTC it is easy and have an menu option to do that. In x10 mini I don't have that, but it is still an android.

I want to have access to my school wireless network (eduroam) and I can't because of the phone lack of protocols implemented.

Although I am a Student of Software Engineering I'm not complaining geek things, these are normal things. And the other bugs people talk are also important. This is a phone, not a geek tool I think. So I even don't care about the update to 2.1 if they don't implement these protocols.

I think it's important not to go radical on this. But SE IMO should have fixed all these issues (these protocols issues and other all know bugs) before thinking of 2.1.

Regards
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] anonimo:
Yes these are limitations they should address. Also another disappointment for me is the lack of voice activated dialling. I find it ridiculous that I can run a Google search with my voice but not make a phone call!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] raphaelc:
1. it will add Flash functionality : don't say it's useless, I need it.

2. add voice capability, such as in google maps if you want to "speak" an adress instead of typing.

3. many apps in the market place don't show up because they were made for 2.1 and above.

That's my point, and I'm sure other users of the mini have other needs. I really like the phone, really a lot, and it's when I heard that SE were to update the phone to 2.1 that I ran to buy it. Just I hope the upgrade won't be too long.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] F3niX:
1.Support for OpenGL 2.0 =>Better gaming ;)

2.Improved Battery Life

3.Apps are natively scaled to fit the screen in 2.1 :D

4.BLuetooth Functionality = A huge plus that i have been waiting for

5.Social Phonebook

This is what i am waiting for
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] anonimo:
1. No, 2.1 will not add Flash. There is no Android phone (or any other smartphone) currently in the market that supports Flash, unless you mean the useless FlashLite. Flash is supposed to arrive in 2.2 (if Adobe ever manages to make it work).

2. Voice capability in Google Maps is already available for Android 1.6!!! I use it in my MiniPro!

I read conflicting information about the improved battery life. I have friends with the HTC Hero and they all say that battery is actually worse now that they run 2.1. I hope you are right but don't expect battery life to double!

What are the expected Bluetooth improvements in the SonyEricsson 2.1 update?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] raphaelc:
1. Nexus one Phones with froyo supports flash, brilliantly.

2. I have google maps 4.5 and I dont see any voice input in the search, please tell which version you use.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] raphaelc:
.. Bluetooth : send / receive files, full A2DP.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] anonimo:
1. If you notice I said "no phone in the market". The Nexus is not sold anymore. In any case Flash is not in 2.1 so if someone is crying about the delayed update it can't be for that reason.

2. My version is 4.5.0 and if you tap the search bar on the main screen you go to a seach page with a microphone icon. Maybe you need to install Google Navigation to enable this function? Or maybe it is enabled only in English?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] gilfredpaul@gmail.com:
Thats true, my galaxy s with 2.1 is very slow when compared with xperia mini.

why so?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] raphaelc:
No microphone in google nav either. Please tell me how to activate voice search in maps or nav.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] anonimo:
http://www.google.com/mobile/navigation/

Search by voice

Speak your destination instead of typing (English only): "Navigate to the de Young Museum in San Francisco".

As I suspected it's English only at the moment.....
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] silviantrius:
That's because of the small resolution on X10 Mini - 320x240 Pixel and because of the great hardware for that small resolution.

It has a great and very fast Qualcomm MSM7227 CPU. Aside the CPU cores the chips contain such hardware as 2D graphics hardware, OpenGL ES 2.0 graphics hardware, media acceleration hardware (for video decode etc.).

Besides that, the Donut 1.6 was tested by SE before putting it into X10 Mini.

And when I look at my laggy Galaxy S - im not sure if Samsung tested Eclair 2.1 before putting it into Galaxy S.

I've sold my Galaxy S because it was really too big for me and because it was very laggy.

I had 38 Phones in my life (from SE T230i, SE K700, N95 8GB, Omnia i900 to the iPhone 4 and Galaxy S) and the iPhones + SonyEricsson phones were the best of them.

If Eclair 2.1 with all new functions and Hardware Support will work as fast as Donut 1.6 works now - it will be one of the most powerful Android devices. Im not joking.

A small size and a mini display doesn't mean that the phone is slow and primitive. :)

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] gilfredpaul@gmail.com:
One thing i love in my galaxy s is Samoled screen...its giving too much of justice to android live wallpaper. iphone is gr8(not a fan of IOS)...may be iphone4 with froyo gives a best suite
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] silviantrius:
Few weeks ago I saw a guy in the bus, he became a call and wanted to answer.

The bus suddenly stopped and the guy dropped his Galaxy S...

That was the end of Super Amoled Screen. :eek:

Few weeks ago I saw some businessman going on the street and writing an sms on the Galaxy S.

Somehow he lost control in his hand and dropped his Galaxy S too.

Just one fall and the huge beautiful Super Amoled screen was dead. :eek:

Few weeks ago I was sitting in the restaurant with my friend and we were talking about Galaxy S. I took it and wanted to make few photos.

But after the third photo I accidentally dropped it. :eek:

I was lucky because we were sitting on a carpet.. :o

I do not know whether it was a slippery plastic or a huge inconvenient size of Galaxy S.... :confused:

...but that was another reason for me to buy a small comfortable and sturdy X10 Mini with a smaller screen, which is not as easy to break as the huge Super Amoled... :cool:

Im a student and I have no money for another smartphone, if I break the first one...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pabling19:
Wow:eek:... poor AMOLEDs... My X10 mini pro often gets dropped (been playing with Schwartz Unsheated) but it seems to have no damage at all.:cool:

One question though, as I haven't owned any other phones except SE ones before, are Samsung phones (or other phones) really that fragile? I mean, I've been skating back in college and my Walkman phone literally flew higher than 6 ft a couple of times and no damage internally (now its casing needs some sticky tape to hold it in place, but still no damage internally).
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] silviantrius:
Holy S LMAO!! :D
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] parthabhatta:
I love my Mini and started loving it more on learning that it runs better than Samsung GAlaxy S sold at double the price.

Thanks for all these info.

No, my previous fone was a nokia 6110 navigator, i've dropped or flung it several times into the ground, all its gets is just another scratch
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] antoni.ridzki:
Yes.... I love my X10 Mini Pro...

I think I buy it because it is the most stylist Android phone ever.

Supported by awesome processor, mini form factor, and it's lightweight, and also it is not as hot as htc hero or nokia if I keep use its internet features.

I am a geek, I use various Linux variant over my lifetime, I used to compile kernel and built my own linux system. I really waiting for android 2.1 to be here on my phone, but, I respect the fact that customizing the os to be worked in this phone is not easy. I'm a fan of beautiful design, this phone, inside and out is masterpiece. I'm hoping that in the future, SE would like to release phone using this Android. And, if my budget fits, I certainly buy it. :)

This X10 Mini pro is my first phone I bought using my own money ever, its Android, and hells yeah.. It rocks!!!!!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] depeer:
True, but some apps like LauncerPro etc. can't be used and 16 million colors would make everything look much better

Hi,

I want to try pattern lock but afraid to do so because of so many complaints here of lockout.

1) how will I know which email address will be used if I lock myself.

2) will I lose data if it gets locked

3) how can I change password reset email address
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d_bot:
it will use the same email that you are getting your contacts from. Or the same one you used to sign into the market. OR the same one that when you click on the Gmail app......OR if you still can't figure out which one it is...from the home screen, click menu->settings->accounts and sync, look for the account with the "g"

no, after trying 5 times you can click on the "forgot pattern?" button, it will ask you to put in your email address and password. once you enter that in, it will ask you to create a pattern, once done, you are in your phone.

huh? to change the password for that email, go to gmail, login, its in the settings somewhere.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hkfan:
ok...you made me look stupid...lol

thanks
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kponti:
Actually a lot of people cannot verify their gmail account info via the phone so if that happens to you you will have to do a master reset and wipe the phone clean through recovery.

Try your initial email and password (if you have changed passwords on gmail since you first signed into the phone), might work. Seems the verification does not work with your actual account online, your email handle and password may be stored on the phone and thats what may be used for verification
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] sudoxnerdx:
I have an HTC Touch Pro 2 from Sprint and I am using Android (obviously) and I'm trying to use a website that uses Flash to work (wmms, Rover's Morning Glory) but I can't get flash player. When the adobe website launches the marketplace it can't find the application in the marketplace. I have Android installed at version 2.2. Other apps appear and install from the marketplace so I don't think that's the problem. Any insite? I just started using Android less than 12 hours ago. Thanks in advance!

Hi,i am having a problem that the music player app lists sound files from game s such as avatar and hawx, is there a way to tell it to only search the"music"folder for media?

Thanks!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demo23019:
No but there is a trick

Use root explorer, go to every game in the gameloft folder on your internal SD card.

Bring up menu bar in root-explorer and click on "more" then "new file" Make the file name .nomedia and save. Do this in every game folder and it will make it so it doesn't search those folders and they wont appear in music/video player, and pictures.

edit

make it easier uploaded. just unzip and put this file in every game folder in gameloft directory

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ilangoadigal:
Reposting this from the Incredible forum because I know quite a few people want it-

This was not written by me. It was written by Ayman al-Sanad, username UAE (I believe), who has been working for some time to create workable libraries for so Android devices can properly display Arabic. Oddly there was no thread posted here that I can find so I'm going to go ahead and post it, since I know this is a much-desired feature for many people and at least some people will find it over Google or the like.

As Google has yet to add native support for Right-To-Left languages like Arabic, Persian and Urdu (despite it being the top feature request) Ayman stepped in and created libraries for our usage.

The downloads page is available here: http://ardoid.com/?page_id=5. I'm assuming the libraries will work with any Froyo install. Put the relevant library zip on your SD card, flash it. Reboot will take some time on a black screen.

Big thanks to Ayman for his great work.
