Still nothing from Australia...

I have been a loyal SE customer for years, my previous 4 phones were all SE.

I'm also not much of a whinger and quite patient, but it seems like SE have really dropped the ball on this one. I think most people are pissed off at the delays and being kept in the dark.

Maybe I'm just repeating the obvious.

A lot of ppl are saying they will never buy SE again, I wonder if it will will reflect in their sales? I have the feeling they just think of them as empty threats.

I suspect the successor to x10 has been under development for ages now, so sadly, I'll be surprised if the x10 get's much more attention after this.

I'm ashamed to admit, I'll prob still give them one more chance though lol, like a beaten housewife

official new features with 2.1 from sonyericssonsupport
[XPERIA X10 General] LIQU1D5NAKE:
Oh My God ! ! ! ! My contract doesnt end untill September 2011 and Orange just called me saying im a valued customer and i can pay £50 and end the contract and get a new phone, they have HTC Mozart 7 in stock! If SE dont hurry up now they may lose me, how tempting lol. Dont know what to do lol :confused:
[XPERIA X10 General] sarfaraaz:
lol, my apologies mate, didn't mean to :/
[XPERIA X10 General] frankie99969:
"if you havent updated already" it mussssst be sooon
[XPERIA X10 General] saketh321:
oh the countless phone calls i hung up doing that... finally
[XPERIA X10 General] JonRushton:
Lol, its nice to learn of a feature shortly before its removed! :)
[XPERIA X10 General] SPIDERTECH:
Did you read any post before posting this? Someone posted the same exact video literally two posts up from this. lol
[XPERIA X10 General] SPIDERTECH:
lol I found out about the power button ending calls at the wrong time and hung up on an important call. I was seriously annoyed. Why would anyone think you'd want to hand up on a call by using the same button used to turn off the screen??? I'm sure glad they changed this.
[XPERIA X10 General] Soutaiseiriron:
That's what jumped at me when I watched the video.
[XPERIA X10 General] sarfaraaz:
i like how they add the "if you haven't updated already" part.. bleh

is it okay to be a pessimist after watching that video, which is rather official?
[XPERIA X10 General] noblackthunder:
I already love the change :-) i will no longer hang up when i turn of the screen. IWANNA HAVE THE IPDATE NOW :-( but still nothing her :-(
[XPERIA X10 General] mith500:
I have a feeling the update will be out today...just a hunch
[XPERIA X10 General] iridaki:
Ahhh... I kind of liked hanging up with the power key! :(
[XPERIA X10 General] saketh321:
because so many people are posting so much in this thread, ppl can post the samething like 2 mins before you post and by the time you hit sumbir reply, it mgiht be there... relax ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] paliwalsandeep:
new BSOD (blue screen of death) for xperia users :P
[XPERIA X10 General] anguslaw:
Excuse me, I just want to share this with you guys asap.
[XPERIA X10 General] mith500:
lol....I will admit it did come in handy to end the call with a physical button.

I just wish they added a feature where another physical another button can be used to end the call ...maybe using the back button
[XPERIA X10 General] Nimche:
Old news is old. At least take a look at the date it was published.
[XPERIA X10 General] Hypercore:
If I have an X10a which version should I download to get a notification of the first rolled out 2.1 update?

For example, lets say it was released in 4 hours, what generic firmware would I need to get the notification on my x10?

Thanks in advanced.
[XPERIA X10 General] urs74:
Rogers wont have it until November plus they have to test it themselves first so I'm tiling late Nov early Dec but of course this my speculation.
[XPERIA X10 General] noblackthunder:
i think non ..stikk to your original firmware becouse the uk firmware will mess up your phone since its the x10i version and not the x10a version .... im pretty shure you will lose your 3g if you use the uk version ... but im shure the us(x10a) version will come asap after the uk if the uk gets first updatet
[XPERIA X10 General] Hypercore:
For some reason my phones "Country" is Germany, I have no idea why.
[XPERIA X10 General] cvchetan:
Flashing x10i on x10a and vice versa will not make you lose 3g... But you will loose warranty..
[XPERIA X10 General] Hypercore:
Couldnt you just flash back to your original firmware? They wouldn't be able to know if you cross-flashed it...
[XPERIA X10 General] noblackthunder:
yep you can if you do it binarys way ... and yeas 3g wil be disabelt since the hardware frequncy will be wrong ... so this is why you have the x10a and the x10i :)
[XPERIA X10 General] h.boushi1987:
it's just a feeling that se will squeeze October to 29-31 and release the update in these days sorry I'm not so optimistic

Sent from my X10i using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
[XPERIA X10 General] alex.under:
I must admit, it's sure smells fishy. I was so hopeful that the update's coming today, but now I'm having second thoughts :-(
[XPERIA X10 General] Punnisher_42:
I don't believe that any deadlines se has released is at all being considered when it comes to releasing this update. It'll come when they want it to.

Past form shows that se doesn't work to deadlines!
[XPERIA X10 General] unknown13x:
well said :) there's still 6 days until the end of october. I won't get any updates regarding 2.1 until may be wednesday, so i'm here waiting with you guys til then clueless of the release date.
[XPERIA X10 General] chongbh:
Just got news from Singapore SE Service Centre that Android 2.1 will be available on SEUS tomorrow. :p
[XPERIA X10 General] pacm23:
Faker!!!
[XPERIA X10 General] mipepim:
bla,bla,bla.....
[XPERIA X10 General] paliwalsandeep:
is this what SE Service Centre is telling you abt 2.1 update :rolleyes:
[XPERIA X10 General] noblackthunder:
Hope you right. Becouse uk version should not be later than that :-)
[XPERIA X10 General] chongbh:
Ya, I hope so too. I guess different countries will roll out the updates at different dates.
[XPERIA X10 General] npk21:
If not today then i am going to take a break from xda for a week!!:(
[XPERIA X10 General] devilsden:

It would be better if they just had the options in the settings menu.

Physical Button Actions During Call:

Power; Turn Off/On Screen, End Call, Nothing

Back Button; End Call, Return to Previous Screen, Nothing

etc.

I chose Android for options!!
[XPERIA X10 General] PGRX10:
Noon London time today

At noon London time today.

Check for UK;) updates
[XPERIA X10 General] pabling19:
Maybe someone will develop a similar app like Spare Parts for those options

*wish* *wish*
[XPERIA X10 General] LIQU1D5NAKE:
whats that meant to mean? where you get your info?
[XPERIA X10 General] mith500:
yeah.....hope someone makes an app for the lock screen as well....dont like the new lock screen (its like every other phone out there).....
[XPERIA X10 General] debs626:
They are gearing up support for the update, I think today is the day :D

nothing as yet tho, just checked seus and no change for uk unbranded phones :(
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
10am... UK unbranded... No update yet..
[XPERIA X10 General] DaHu4wA:
Hey guys an employee from SE told me that the update will be released when this thread reaches 210 pages :p
[XPERIA X10 General] mith500:
I wont be surprised once the update is released that SE's servers go down....cant even imagine the number of people trying to update at the same time...

Hope they have a good backup server in place..lol
[XPERIA X10 General] TehFoz:
Probably not true, but it will certainly get there in a couple hours.
[XPERIA X10 General] mbrad_26:
I bet all my money that it will be today:D. Why? Becouse they say in the begining "If you hav'nt update yet"...Lol it will be here in the next 2 or 3 hours...I hope...really:D
[XPERIA X10 General] LiLAsN:
Actually mith500, there already is. :p

So if you do not like the new one, you can always use the old X10 lock screen which is available in this app. :D

No problem, I think it should not take more than half an hour...;)
[XPERIA X10 General] Contrarian:
I'm sure it's been stated already so don't lynch me for it (no I'm not reading through 1500 posts and the rest of the useless threads appearing here), but new software added to PTCRB.
[XPERIA X10 General] dbargna:
2.1 just updated via SEUS. Nordic Customized X10. Update Location Germany
[XPERIA X10 General] pabling19:
I don't think so, I think they have a lot of redundant clouds scattered all around the world :D

Sony is a big brand name you know :P
[XPERIA X10 General] mith500:
wow...cool thanks for that

have you used it or do you know anyone that does?....is it stable?
[XPERIA X10 General] pabling19:
Screenshots would be nice to confirm this.

to see is to believe lol

Anyone else got the update?
[XPERIA X10 General] mbrad_26:
Are u sure?

I told you it will be today:D
[XPERIA X10 General] Lakata:
OMG i think troll or ? if it isnt true this is mean ...

P.S. i`m going out and when i came back the update is better to be at the SEUS server or head will drop off :))))) :D:cool:
[XPERIA X10 General] paliwalsandeep:
any proof will be highly appreciated...
[XPERIA X10 General] sim-value:
As if that would take long
[XPERIA X10 General] unknown13x:
They're gonna switch the server up depending on the day. For example, its day time in UK, they'll give priority to UK. When Asia becomes day time, they'll switch the priority to Asia. It's just a little more complicated because they'll do it by time slots. So first come first serve :)
[XPERIA X10 General] kloud_:
Its up and running....??!:confused:
[XPERIA X10 General] skrotum:
Somehow this thread reminds me of the day when WOW was released here. People were refreshing the account creation page every minute in hope it's available... Once i didnt check it for about 10 minutes or so around 1.30 at night, my phone rang and an excited friend of mine told me something like "works... it works!! refresh!!"

I guess it will be similar here, only that people are refreshing pages for 3 or more days now..
[XPERIA X10 General] TimMun:
Nothing yet in The Netherlands (I'm on UK Generic)
[XPERIA X10 General] pabling19:

[XPERIA X10 General] esimon1980:
This endless waiting is killing me. I couldn't do anything but refreshing this page again and again :(

I need to get a life. lol
[XPERIA X10 General] DaHu4wA:
just checked with SEUS. nothing here. im sitting in austria with a debranded x10i on uk generic r2ba026
[XPERIA X10 General] LiLAsN:
Yup! I've used it. It's very stable and VERY customizable. :)

You can put any kind of wallpaper for it and have the option to select from many different versions of the android lock screen.

I love using the Android 2.2 version. Makes you feel updated! LoL!

The only problem I find with it though is that the lock screen might stop the official lock screen from starting up if you go out of Flight-mode on your phone. :(

But if you don't use flight-mode, then it should be just fine. :p
[XPERIA X10 General] unknown13x:
SEA should be friday if I'm not mistaken...
[XPERIA X10 General] wrk13s:
nothing for the great down under yet. x10 getting ready to through my x10 through the wall.

Engadget says the update.is delayed till mid nov.

Naw im jk but sony would actually do sonthing like that. Very sad
[XPERIA X10 General] pabling19:
Is this confirmed sir? Can you please send a link supporting the release date.
[XPERIA X10 General] JonRushton:
Git, my heart sank for a minute then :P
[XPERIA X10 General] Contrarian:
yep, the SEUS server has slowed to snails pace.

Sorry, My bad. SEUS just updated to new version 2.10.11.10
[XPERIA X10 General] iridaki:
WTF?

They release an official video saying "if you haven't updated yet"

when the update hasn't been released anywhere in the world.

Who is in charge of marketing anyway???
[XPERIA X10 General] LordGabriel:
Someone that lacks communication skills, that's for sure.
[XPERIA X10 General] somebloke:
Mini = Friday... surely you're suggesting the bigdaddy is before ? :D

And seriously why are people bothering to check Branded Regional devices when the generic ones arent out yet?
[XPERIA X10 General] ooidort:
Checked SEUS, no dice in Finland.
[XPERIA X10 General] oneimunky:
Seriously LiLAsN.

Do you not have a better way to spend your time than troll.

To answer the original question - yes I check every day when I get home - I lead a life of filled with technology, oh and vodka and red bull - hey I'm in the hospitality industry, I love it.

Please give me 2.1 at least before I move to windows phone 7 (let the flaming commence).

Seriously like the hardware but support sucks on SE (have loved since my 1st prepaid phone 10 years ago).

[XPERIA X10 General] iridaki:
I actually think WP7 operating system is quite promising.

It imitates iOS in simplicity and feels consistent, even though it is new

and certainly will be improved over time.

I tried the new HTC WP7 phones in an exclusive event in my country

and even though I wouldn't switch from Android now,

I would definetely consider it some time in the future.

[XPERIA X10 General] pabling19:
I can wait 2 days but I will be going to a technologically challenged place for the halloween... So if it arrives on Friday that means I would have to update on Tuesday (which I think all of you already have root access)
[XPERIA X10 General] neptun2:
If x10 mini update is released at Friday do this mean that x8 will be updated the same day? As far as i know the software is very similar between them.
[XPERIA X10 General] LiLAsN:
Wrongfully accused

I’m sorry but did you actually read everything that I posted, it would be nice if you do not assume I was trolling if you actually read what I said before you post sir. :)

Anyway, I was replying to mith500 who did not like the new lock screen. So I recommended him an app which has many types of Android lock screens called Lockbot as seen in post #1613.

He then replied to see if I have experience with it which I then replied that I have personally used the software and that I prefer to use the 2.2 Lock Screen with this app as seen in post #1633. (Thus leaving me to see where you assumed that I was trolling)

Please do not insult a newcomer who has done no wrong thank you very much. :)

Obviosly SE is a too big company to make a screw up like this, after all the people are allready mad about the delays.. They can aford to do some more negative marketing about it now..

October is nearly to an end, and the video is from the official SE youtube...

Also noticed Rikard didnt post/reply today.. could he be waiting.. for sumthing?
[XPERIA X10 General] devilsden:
Do u guys think SEUS will also detect the IP address and then provide the update ??? I mean will it check if the IP is based in UK ????

you think we'll be part of the release if it is released today?

i have to admit though, SE SA are pathetic, i got more responses from SE UK but they were always the same thing, "will inform you as soon as we have more information. thanks for your patience"

[XPERIA X10 General] mith500:
I debranded my x10 to the generic uk firmware when I got the phone...so I will get it as soon as the update is out for generic handsets which is usually (hopefully) the first to get it.

I have found SE UK are very responsive through twitter, though they do have the 'usual' reply's in relation to the update

SE SA is useless, usually I have got more info from reading the forums and browsing the web....then they have.
[XPERIA X10 General] deebeepee:
I was waiting with baited breath for the X10 to be released as soon as I saw those first pictures 12months ago, I remember when the launch date was finally released as "Q1"

Then it was "by the end of Q1"

Then I remember going down to the Virgin Mobile store on release day, 1st April 2010 - beginning of Q2.

I dont understand why they give us a timeframe and then leave it until the very very very last opportunity and then never bother releasing it within the said time anyway.

Really hope history isnt set to repeat itself and we see it turn up on Monday!! grrr
[XPERIA X10 General] xeviro:
The nature of the update will not be something that you like.

Based on my experience with servers, mobile apps, and internet services, this is why things happens

They will not release exact date and hour, because if they do, everyone will wait and download and download onward from that specific time, and the update server might not have the capacity to handle a lot of simultaneous user.

unknown13x also mention that there should be and on and off updates period, which also required by service provider to reduce the number of concurrent user. bandwidth is expensive and i don't think they would implement a costly architecture like google server just for an update server.

So what may happens is that suddenly some of UK brand will get update at certain time slot, and some will not, you put your phone and SEUS but it might says that your have latest FW already, but then after certain duration then you can.

The morale of the story.. just be patient, posting a lof of things here will not quicken the updates..
[XPERIA X10 General] x10Mike:
That update video is just a kick in the sack!

Although the other features do look ubercool.
[XPERIA X10 General] iridaki:
I remember when I owned a -terrible imho- N97 phone,

the 2.0 update (a major one that was supposed to fix the phone and make it usable)

was announced and they gave us date AND time!

It was 10th October GMT 10:00, if I remember correctly, for all unbranded phones.

And guess what? It did happen!

Why can't SE do this?
