[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Ballfuzz:
Ok thanks.

I came from a blackberry. I'm used to setting photos I'd taken as my wallpaper..
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] twentybenson:
I found an app called AutomaticSettingWallpaper.

When you find the image you want, press share, then select this app (once installed) from the list.

It will set the whole image as wallpaper!

I was sceptical at first, but was amazed when it worked timafter time!
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] im_iceman:
Hi - the images don't have to be 960 x 854, although that is the ideal resolution... however, if you want to use the whole image then they do have to have it at the exact same aspect ratio as a 960 x 854 image.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] beheaded:
Thanks, twentybenson! This has been bugging me for a looong time!
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] twentybenson:
Glad to have helped!
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] wrk13s:
AutomaticSettingWallpaper owns that is the best app ever.
[XPERIA X10 General] Swishaa:
I'm really leaning towards selling mine at this point .
[XPERIA X10 General] Hyperion_G:
Already posted two adds!
[XPERIA X10 General] softtop:
i am thinking about it, i think all this business with updating taking months apon months is stupid, personally i brought the phone expecting it to receive the new android software fast but SE cant perform as expected.
[XPERIA X10 General] Sewez:
No Way!!!!

Edit: It's a huge appointment for me, but i'm not going to sell mine.
[XPERIA X10 General] Tasteslikeawesome:
Ill give anyone £ 50 just to take it and its memories of failure away.

Sent from my rooted android over9000 x10i using swype on the xda app.
[XPERIA X10 General] Swishaa:
SE's update about 2.1 was a huge let down for me. I was really looking forward to getting it by the end of the week.
[XPERIA X10 General] metcard:
Nope.

The X10 in its current form runs fine and there are no better alternatives. IMO

My next phone upgrade will not be a Sony Ericsson though. Possibly HTC if they improve their design and other bits here and there by next year.
[XPERIA X10 General] Sighx:
You guys are just bunch of babies.. lol..

Didn't get what you wanted and had to go cry about it..

Grow up man. If you didn't like it.. you shouldn't have bought it in the first place.

But since you did.. man up and just shut up and move on.

Just my 2C.
[XPERIA X10 General] karendar:
I'm seriously considering selling... I'm really dissapointed at how SE deals with software upgrades, the protected bootloader being the prime example of this. I'm hoping for the devs to do something good, but I'm not holding my breath. Sony's done a great job of crippling hope of a decent upgrade.

And yes, the phone works "as is" as many have stated, but the low in call volume, some moments of lag across the OS, lack of MT on a device that should clearly support it and other random little annoyances make me think that spending so much on a "flagship model" was a mistake... I would have loved SE to prove me wrong with a firmware update that solved a bunch of these issues. Now I'm feeling pretty sour about living with these issues as long as I own this phone.
[XPERIA X10 General] berbecverde:
I like this phone, and i am not going to sell it for a while, but i am a bit disappointed and i am sure that my next device will not be a SE, because i do not want to find myself in this situation again.:)
[XPERIA X10 General] Devtone:
If their is a hell, you will get in to it if you sell your X10 to another. Just burn it!

Some comments are out of order indeed. But SE DID PROMISE something else than delivered. In the western world that is NOT acceptable.
[XPERIA X10 General] chongbh:
I will not sell off my X10 just because delay in X10 software upgrade as hardware is more important for me.

I will still wait patiently for the Android 2.1 Upgrade.
[XPERIA X10 General] Swishaa:
I'm pretty sure most of us here purchased this phone with the notion that, it would be updated at the time that SE stated. No one here is being a baby for being disappointed because SE couldn't keep their word and I'm positive no one said they didn't like the X10. Regret buying ? Yes. Dislike the phone ? No.
[XPERIA X10 General] ddewbofh:
Well luckily for you SE returned to the previous timeframe with the delay. They originally said that we would get the 2.1 update in Q4, then they moved it up to Q3 and now it's back to Q4.

So a release in Q4 is exactly when SE originally said that the update would come.
[XPERIA X10 General] Sighx:
They promised? I believe the just stated "before end of Q3"

I don't ever recall hearing " We at SE PROMISE to release 2.1 before the end of Q3. . ? Hmm...

If they did then my apologise.
[XPERIA X10 General] Devtone:
No MT? misprint.. OK.

Q3, come on its SE where talking about!! What the hell are they doing?? So ok Q4.

Expecting FroYo on an (half year old) HIGH END Android phone is NOT that crazy...

Come on man, they just launched the X10 in the US. With 1.6, HIGH END? I was expecting FroYo. I still am, not from SE. The only reason i'm not dumping it, YET..

Its like Alienware selling a HIGH END system with XP and you cannot install Win7 and no upgrades...

IF the phone was 2 years old I would buy the story. ITS NOT!

Maybe its because i'm used to pimp phones. My x years old Kaiser is running FroYo :p

Lets face it, SE in not for ME. Back 2 HTC for the hardware AND SOFTWARE capability.

The X10 is not made for nerds, its for the masses. I miss the good old flashing HTC's days :(
[XPERIA X10 General] chris_knows:
I'll take it off your hands for £50 in a heartbeat :p
[XPERIA X10 General] tigermrk:
$

An official blog update is more then enough for me to take it as a promise.

just like the MT issue it was never stated on the blog that it had it so they could state it was never officially announced.

its exactly this kind of treatment which gives them a bad name. Why didnt they just keep it at Q4 originally?

Fair enough they would have been flamed for been Q4 but we would all be looking forward to it now instead of feeling let down.

I am even doubting a Q4 release now.
[XPERIA X10 General] Devtone:
Expecting Gingerbread 3.0 on the X10 would be crazy but FroYo??
[XPERIA X10 General] SXUsr:
+1 The phone as it is is a great phone, the only issue is the company that made it.
[XPERIA X10 General] Keithod:
People like you annoy me. 450euro for a phone that should be cutting edge. They have a right to feel angry.

I'm angry about this too but if I sell then I think I will just be losing money...? I'll have to think about it.
[XPERIA X10 General] Swishaa:

Couldn't of said it better
[XPERIA X10 General] kloud_:
well i'd like to buy a used one still :p

for dev purposes..!! :D
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
And here, my childish friends, is the point.

The only people upset by this are nerds. A tiny fraction of the user base of this phone. You say 15,000 people signed the petition? There's more people than that in my city that own the X10. And this is just one city.

If you want to sell your phone, that's great. But, to announce it to the world like you're being superior comes off as incredibly insecure and immature. No one cares.
[XPERIA X10 General] Keithod:
And your reply comes off as arrogant and condescending. It's a forum. People should be allowed express their views without being insulted by you.
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
Better to be arrogant than ***** and whine.

People can express their views, but, several threads/posts across multiple threads of "I'M GOING TO SELL MY PHONE" isn't expressing views, it's spam, straight up.
[XPERIA X10 General] Keithod:
So it's better to insult people than to let them blow off some steam?

And those threads aren't spam either. More than likely SE browse these forums occasionally so I think it's good that they can see how annoyed people are about this. It'll all blow over by tomorrow and the forum be back to normal.
[XPERIA X10 General] vengeance1990:
The bootloader has been sort of cracked now, they can boot a different version of android, however, it has no wifi, signal, 3g etc, so its still not completed but its good progress
[XPERIA X10 General] Devtone:
Its not booting the way we want to boot FroYo. The devs will get it working eventualy. (The only reason i'm not selling..)

Anyway, I'm selling my X10 for 1000,00 Euro? Its the special misprint no mt version! Anyone? :p
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
Blow off steam? Do you like reading 10 pages of "F*** SE" in what's supposed to be a "News" thread, which is also stickied?

Blowing off steam is fine, but, limit it to one thread is what I'm asking for, and like I've said, SE doesn't care about this message board, or any of the people who signed the "2.2" petition. In any case, they know that people would be annoyed, which is why they posted an apology in the first place, instead of being quiet about it. I find that to be a good compromise.
[XPERIA X10 General] kloud_:
i agree with iead1 on this one..!!

they are just gonna follow there corporate priorities.:(

but i wonder what will happen to the demands of existing users...?!!:confused:

and as a matter of fact SE doesn't moniter these forums... niether does any other company. if they did they'd know the anguish being suffered by their customers. :mad:
[XPERIA X10 General] nosidefcp:
already posted several ads for selling it. i'm searching for a new device, some htc or galaxy s...
[XPERIA X10 General] tigger69:
They dont care about customers, all they care about is the same as all big corps.........money.
[XPERIA X10 General] Keithod:
You can't say that's a fact. If large companies buried their heads in the sand and didn't read bulletin boards then they wouldn't know about people hacking their phones in the first place.

...

And no I don't want to read 10pages of F*** SE. How many posts here say F SE? You're exaggerating now.
[XPERIA X10 General] kloud_:
hehe :D

how many companies have fared well... how many phones are hack proof...?! :D

then tell me how many more such forums and blogs are there where ppl are *****ing and moaning about there peril with SE.:(

i bet there are a lot more than we can count. so do the maths how many guys would SE need to review all the posts by the people.

the feedback that they receive is generally through there official sites and the suggestions filled at Service centers. anything else seems to be bogus to me..!!

but then thats my point of view according to you.;)
[XPERIA X10 General] kalfou:
Im putting mine on ebay in a couple of hours, prob only get roughly half of what i paod for it...

Cant wait for my desire
[XPERIA X10 General] Keithod:
I'm not saying that they've guys whose sole jobs is to browse the net. But take Google for example, some of their developers - Romain Guy to name one, are following Cyanogen on Twitter. SE is a huge company too. You can be almost certain that some of their devs browse the forums from time to time. Whether it's in official capacity or not, they're still working for SE and they're still going to get feedback on today's news.

I'm not sure what you meant in the last paragraph.
[XPERIA X10 General] kloud_:
well google a fast growing company and i never said there aren't no exceptions. :p

i meant that here in India most of the user feedback comes from the complaints received at the SE service centers as well as the suggestions posted at the centers by the users while the official website also has a feedback section.
[XPERIA X10 General] dexter26:
Yes.im going to sell it and go back to htc.X10 is a beatiful phone but ..you know what
[XPERIA X10 General] Devtone:
If Sony is not checking these forums they DO NOT know their market. I'm pretty sure they are looking, not reading every post but they know what happens here..

I think Sony's mistake is to think that they can use the Android platform and keep it to themselves. Its Android, IT should be OPEN.
[XPERIA X10 General] sofir786:
well i have 2 Sony Ericsson phones, my main phone which is the X10i and my 2nd phone the Satio. Well i had a nightmare with the Satio, bad software, bad peformance and had to rely on the satio community in order to improve the Satio xperience, all its good for is taken pics and vids. Well ive loved my x10, i really have, ive looked past all the bad reviews and still got it contract, looked past all the negatives, but wiv more and more better phones appearing Sony Ericsson are not supporting there customers as near as much as they should do. Im planning to sell both phones and buy thr HTC Desire HD, which can be brought on pre-order for £495, hopefully both phones will cover costs. X10i is a great piece of kit, but theres just somethings u cant ignore.:-(
[XPERIA X10 General] Keshukas:
I love me X10i black. And I not going to sell him for this moment

;)
[XPERIA X10 General] Mario Berny:
I'm selling my X10....320,00 euros....I'm tired to wait for an incompleted update. I'll buy a Desire...

hehe :D
[XPERIA X10 General] HunteronX:
I'm not selling my X10, as I have to use it on my contract until next october.

But, I'm not buying an Sony Ericsson phone again, simply because it seems to me that they can't keep up with other manufacturers anymore.

Other manufacturers like samsung and htc can update phones to the latest firmware in a 'reasonable' time, and even release completely new phones with the latest firmware on them too - or in the case of samsung, create a tablet.

It isn't because SE promised something or not, it is because they are too slow (imo), and they don't even want to unlock the bootloader for us, so we can do as we want.

If SE did unlock it, I'm sure many people here would feel better about SE's decisions, because it would look like they understand what's happening.

But, as people have said - SE doesn't care about the small minority of people here, because we won't give them anymore money, until we buy a new phone - so that's what their strategy is. It's for people to buy a new SE phone and fall into their trap, again and again. So all we can do to make SE 'a better company', is not buy their products until they improve their software support.

This seems unlikely to do anything to help now though, so we just have to see if we can find a way to unlock the bootloader, flash it, or hack the phone in another way, like the devs are doing now.

Sorry about the rant...
[XPERIA X10 General] orion_12:
bye bye x-10,

well x10 is a good phone but tired of waiting for 2.1, just bought htc hd2 and will be putting 2.2 on it. Tonight x10 will be on ebay.
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
Well you guys are crying about having to use the X10 till next October.

Here in Canada, most of us have signed 3 year contracts to get the phone

Now I'm in no way saying I hate the phone (quite the opposite) but atleast be glad you aren't stuck with it for 3 years
[XPERIA X10 General] downesey:
people are just being silly about the 2.1, yes its a big deal and yes se have let us down, however the phone is still one of the best on the market, without 2.1, im keeping mine as i didnt get it just for 2.1. once its cracked the phone will be unstoppable
[XPERIA X10 General] ashman84:
Jeez man.. why are u even on this thread if u didn't want to read about how everyone's whining.. did u read the thread topic..? what did u expect from this thread.. se has come out with bad news. Ppl are responding to it in the way they deem fit.. so just let ppl be.. if ppl wanna b*tch about se letting everyone down, let them go on.. sooner or later the dust will settle..
[XPERIA X10 General] Keshukas:

Not that I care or anything but DONT DREAM that FroYo wil work on the HD2 without problems, maybe in the far future. Tried it already on an HD2, several Android builds. I'd suggest buying a real Android phone.

i got a new samsung galaxy s gt-i900 8gb. brilliant phone i love it i just keep my xperia x10 we dont know that the coming update of sony ericsson becomes better than the other smartphones. thats why i bought a new phone cause have no more patience waiting for the update and i dont want to use old firmware that is lack of function as a smartphone......:):mad::D:p:cool:
[XPERIA X10 General] losdrivare:
Actually, I think I am. I've started to look for a second-hand Desire and when/if I find one for the right price I'll move on and sell the X10.

If SE manages to release an update or if the devs manages to crack the bootloader, then I'll re-evaluate. But as it stands, I don't see the point of bothering with all frustrations of the X10 "updates" when the Desire does everything I want it to: it's updated and have custom ROMs availible. Plus it's a tad more pocket friendly and I'm hoping the people I talk to will hear me better.

I have simply lost hope. I'm not even looking forward to the 2.1 update all that much, it feels like that would just bring us what we should already have, what SE has owed their X10 customer since the day of the release. What I really want is Froyo, and SE has not even committed to that update. When I bought the X10 I figured that SE would make an effort and keep updates on par with the competition, but this was an incorrect assumption on my part.

I'll not get another Sony Ericsson smartphone unless the bootloader is already cracked and there are custom ROMs ready and availible.
[XPERIA X10 General] fernandik:
But I will not for war and Nokia ever!

Fcp tb nao obrigado!

[XPERIA X10 General] HunteronX:
Fair enough.

Although, why are operators/carriers in Canada like that? Is it because there is no competition, so they do as they like?
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
Yup, only 1 carrier has the X10(lucky for everyone else) in Canada, and whatever competition arises, there's 3 big companies that always try to crush it and continue their monopoly. Its the same in the States, but I think the cost is slightly cheaper over there.

When I had to renew my contract with Rogers in may, I had to choose between the Acer Liquid E, X10 and HTC Magic or some phone like that. Chose the X10, had to sign on for 3 more years, and the rest you know.

They drag people into 3 year contracts by only subsidizing the cost of the phone if you choose a 3 year contract. I got the phone for $100, the 2 year contract cost was $400, and 1 year was no subsidy.

Pity really. Back home in India, the consumer is king. Not the case here
[XPERIA X10 General] chris_knows:
There's always ways to get out of a contract with Rogers if you really want to ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
Really?

PM me :D
[XPERIA X10 General] fm1776:
Even worse there are suppose to be 2ghz phones hitting the market in time for Xmas running on Gingerbread, which looks pretty bad a*s! I'm getting excited already!

I truly feel gutted for you Canadian X10 owners.
[XPERIA X10 General] Sighx:
Haha, who made you buy the phone? Really now.. I think your types are more annoying than mine. That fact is my type can face the truth and yours cannot? Oh come on now. .

SE never forced you to buy the phone. You did it on your own. Therefore, if you don't like it? You have the right to move on. They're not forcing you to stay either. :)

FYI. I'm not trying to be rude. Just stating how I feel.
[XPERIA X10 General] HunteronX:
Same here... :(

Well I hope there's a way to upgrade your phone at a greatly reduced price, or free, around halfway through your contract, or something similar.
[XPERIA X10 General] curious_yellow_eyes:
I guess I'll be keeping it, it does everything I want it to do... except recording HD video which is the only thing I'm really disappointed about.

No point waiting to root now though so I'll have something to keep me busy this weekend...
[XPERIA X10 General] strix75:
I will keep it but i pre ordered a desire HD aswell. So i will give SE that time untill i get my HTC.
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
Well there is, but if you do that you have to sign on for another 3 years.... so thats not really that much of an advantage
[XPERIA X10 General] HunteronX:
Ouch... :(

This is depressing, so I'll try not to talk about it anymore.
[XPERIA X10 General] kloud_:
then signing a contract is really a huge disadvantage...!!:(

thank god no such thing here... :D can use any operator with any phone :p
[XPERIA X10 General] fm1776:
Canadian X10 owners have it hard. I can feel their pain. :(

Me on the other hand. I have a plan that is unlimited calling in EU and North America, plus 3 hours for every where else, unlimited SMS and MMS, unlimited internet, unlimited 24 channels of live TV plus six movie channels. One free phone per year at a value of 1,000 euro or less, a second simm card, free replacement phone (with possibility to upgrade) for lost - stolen - or damaged phones, and free delivery if I want to select new device from home.

I am told the new phones hitting market for Xmas will not only be 2ghz, minimum 4" display, 3.0, but they will be running the new micro SDXC which will start at 64gb and up from there ;)

I can hardly wait! I will still stop by from time to time and check XDA X10 to see how the little people are doing. :cool:

-edit: I am sure glad there are plenty of people here that are so pleased with there X10. LOL
[XPERIA X10 General] Sighx:
I've had my fair experiences with Rogers. Never going back again.

They should honestly change their name to "Robbers"

Because the last time I had a contract with them.. I canceled within 6 months.

Why? They tried "2" times in a row honestly trying to squeeze something on the bills I get. Oh, did I say it was back2back? That's what made me left them.. I never signed a contract again. . rather I just buy the phone and get a monthly rated plan. You're just lucky you're not with Telus or Bell.

$20 x remaining month so...

Unless.. did Rogers change to that too? lol
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
Yup they did

Its $20 per month for voice

and $10 per month for data

:)
[XPERIA X10 General] Sighx:
Haha. wow. Now that's totally ouch.

Even Telus still only has $20xmos... lol ):

Sucks big time and I hope you guys well. (Glad to be gone from them.)
[XPERIA X10 General] bugs_bunny01:
sometimes i regreted not taking the chance of trading the x10 for the htc hd2 when i got the x10... not that i am not happy with my phone, its just i was expecting more for a flagship phone, and being a fan of SE i was let down. oh well... if anybody wants to trade an htc hd2 for an x10a im always open for a deal:)

i wanna go back to win mobile. android was more of an experiment than anithing else...

To be honest though, the SE successor should not have any problem whatsoever with upgrades given the fact that the successor is rumored to come with gingerbread and Google has stated that they would be upgrading Android annually which fits snugly with SEs resources.
