I heard this before, and some people claim that after attempting a hard reset to the device, the live wall papers will work much better.

Also, did you try to remove all the catch memory and free the Ram from your device because this also help, and finally remove your battery for 3 minutes and insert it again.

I hope this helps a little,
[XPERIA X10 General] Crocketeer:
Yeah I've removed the battery once for a while when it was finished installing, that did help for general speed. I've used cachecleaner as well, and my free RAM sits at around 110mb.

So live wallpapers are known to work smoothly on the X10 then... Hmm, might do a hard reset then, I'll report back if that helped, if I get around to it.

Crocketeer's 2.1 X10
[XPERIA X10 General] Basharca:
Dude some of my friends confirmed that live wallpapers are working great and smooth with no lag, so I think it's worth a try :)

I just hope the lagging has nothing to do with Rogers customizations hehe :p

Good luck :D

I have Generic Global FW and i'm suffering the same.

Live wallpapers work super smooth...unless i open the app drawer,then the phone lags a bit and if i close it again everthing turns smooth again...i did a default reset and all the stuff and nothing works.

Running Global Eclair..

Have re-installed the Firmware and Titanium Backup twice, and....

I seem to get the equation of:

Root = No WiFi

No Root = Wifi

Anyone with same problem?
[XPERIA X10 General] lghost1213:
I hate to said...but...

i think this piece of hardware (or firmware) wasn't ready for live wallpaper yet.

first of all, i using the usage timeline (cpu mornitor) and found out that live wallpaper consume more than 40% of cpu resource minimum. When opening apps drawer in original launcher, its get pretty lag (even with no live wallpaper, it also get laggy too by the way), cpu consume more than 70% (thats right, battery killer:()

thats why i looove launcher pro, apps drawer can modifiy and smoother than original very much, however, the live wallpaper also can lagging the apps drawer even in launcher pro.

in conclude, live wallpaper lagging everything, if they can manage suppress the live wallpaper cpu resource consume (or increase the file system efficiency like froyo:D), i won't mind to used live wallpaper and change it everyday~:)
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
? I've never experienced lag with live wallpaper? Strange.
[XPERIA X10 General] mith500:
yeah me too....no problems with live wallpaper
[XPERIA X10 General] mith500:
On UK Generic....and phone is rooted ...had no problems with restoring.

maybe you could try restore apps only without system data?
[XPERIA X10 General] lghost1213:
i mean when dragging the apps drawer~
[XPERIA X10 General] oXunknownXo:
I would like to watch a video showing this(not needed to be from your x10 :P ).

If i'm using a normal wallpaper everything is REALLY SMOOTH, i mean something similar to iPhone 4, even the app drawer, BUT USING ADW LAUNCHER(SE launcher is laggy)

The problem comes with live wallpaper, if i'm browsing through other apps, menus or the 3 desktops i have, everything works smooth, even with high quality LW like Galactic Core Donation, but as soon as i use the app drawer, it doesn't scroll as smooth as before, it's like a few FPS below and jumps a bit, maybe some don't notice the difference but i do.

I've been writing about this problem in other forums and it seems that everyone is experiencing the same, good perfomance except when they use the app drawer.

Yeah, it is like if the app drawer doesn't work as it should be with live wallpapers, and from what i know, it is still happening with the JIT compiler enabled.
[XPERIA X10 General] guyonblackybx:
Doenst restore my contacts completely :(. Is there any app which can read and restore the backup saved on Android 1.6?
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
Did you try syncing your Google account to the phone? If syncing was on, all of your contacts should be on Google's servers, which can pull to the phone.

I didn't figure out until today that after I updated to 2.1, Google sync was turned off for some reason, so I missed a bunch of emails to my Gmail account.
[XPERIA X10 General] lghost1213:
Phew~thanks for backing me up~my English natural disadvantage prevent me from elaborate freely~ ;)

too bad i still cannot enjoy my live wallpaper due to the impact of its system~its SUPER COOL to look at~the only UI feature that beat Iphone~
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
Here's an odd change... I just sent a picture from my phone to my computer via Bluetooth, and instead of it being the normal DSC1234.jpg, it was 2010-11-15 22.04.41.jpg.

[XPERIA X10 General] big_raji:
Been playing with my Xperia X10 on Rogers. Did the update via SEUS. Not rooted or modified in any way (yet). Here are a few unique things I noticed:

Pros:

Phone distinguishes between Headset/Mic and Headphones when calls come in. It always annoyed me when I had to unplug my headphones to talk on the phone.

A2DP works properly now. I was having problems connecting to my Sony CMT-HX5BT stereo, as it usually took 5 tries until music would play through it.

The usual praise about faster speeds, more available Market Apps, Live Wallpaper, loving 2.1 in general.

Cons:

Auto Brightness and Screen Always On when plugged in seem to be options that disappeared.

Moxier Mail is still used to handle Exchange Accounts, instead of being done natively.

In general, I love the update so far.
[XPERIA X10 General] Purehazard:
I updated to 2.1 just 2 hours ago and I have the same issue. I actually use Rockplayer quite a bit so this really sucks.

I hope this issue with Rockplayer will be alleviated as I remember reading somewhere that the overall speed of the phone will go up over time.

Just tried Vplayer and it's a little choppy on recent XviD files and choppy plus extremely blocky on some older XviD files. :(

EDIT: Rockplayer seems to work fine now.
[XPERIA X10 General] msainion44:
Anyone noticed, contact picture in the dialer while calling is of vary poor quality, even if you set a high quality pic for the contact.

its really needs to improve.

if anyone have solution for it, please tell me
[XPERIA X10 General] onebza:
@msainion44

Hi there,

I noticed the same - I had backed up my contacts before the 2.1 update, and then restored them afterward.

I edited the contacts with photo's and re-placed the images with the same photo's.

It's a long process, but that seems to have helped.
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
Consistently... never worked quite right for me in 1.6.

If I had a dime for every time this post came up..

Basically, I think it was SE's way of making sure the phone doesn't lag when receiving/making a call.
[XPERIA X10 General] KInG GaME:
Eclair 2.1

Pros

- the Live Wallpapers are Great!

- It improved my battery 20%

- it has five home screen Navigable easily by dots(the Quick preview of 5 screens could have been better as in HTC)

-Greater Application compatibility

- Dialer has been greatly improved and is easy to use now!contacts have been improved!

-the new lock screen has new features such as mute which is useful

cons

-The new menu screen is slower and doesnt look good

- loud speaker is messed up when using media files

- missing an 1.6
[XPERIA X10 General] akshaysuri2000:
after 2.1 upgrade i can not set timescape as home screen but earlier i was able to.
[XPERIA X10 General] Purehazard:
On 1.6, I couldn't do that until I added ADW Launcher but I haven't tried in 2.1 yet.

While I got RockPlayer running smoothly, it only worked half the time. Using Advance Task Killer didn't help. I eventually loaded some other process manager (don't remember the name) that found a process called "Gallery" using ~30% of the CPU. Killed that and it seemed to work but I uninstalled that process manager because it messed with my APNdroid.

I now have Advance Task Manager and while it doesn't show all the processes that the other program saw, I was able to shut a bunch of things down and got RockPlayer running smoothly again. Let's see how long this will last.

Are there a load of new processes chewing up CPU cycles?

[XPERIA X10 General] big_raji:
Merged Contacts

Just found a major drawback to the 2.1 upgrade.

It looks like Android merges contacts with similar names together as a single contact. This is horrible.

For example, I used to have 4 "Shawn" entries in my phonebook. Each one had it's own company name, mobile number, etc. Now, I have a single "Shawn" entry with 4 different company names and 4 different mobile numbers. I have absolutely no idea which mobile number corresponds to which Shawn. This is the worst thing I have ever seen in a contact screwup.

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=4979

The workaround (not a solution, since it's a time consuming workaround, and will apparently go back to the screwed up merged contacts after a reset) is to click on the merged contact, press menu, then click "Separate". I've tried this, and it did not separate my contacts properly.

I still have to go through all my contacts and figure out which ones are merged and need to be separated.
[XPERIA X10 General] mith500:
Did a quick test on my gmail contacts and I added 5 Test contacts with the same name...and it shows fine on my gmail....but when it sync with the phone it becomes one.....can see this causing a problem for a lot of users.

Normally I wouldnt have this problem cause I add people's surname or their Inital cause I wont know who is who ...lol
[XPERIA X10 General] big_raji:
Yeah, in a perfect world it wouldn't be a problem. I'm the first to admit I have a messy phonebook. I haven't cleaned it up in the 14 years I've been using PDAs and Smartphones. lol

Also 720p mp4 vids lags, I wonder how it is gonna record HD vids lol
[XPERIA X10 General] madprof99:
Can the phone handle vcards sent via SMS yet? Previously in 1.6 it silently dropped the message - as if it had never been sent.
[XPERIA X10 General] JDwan:
I've been getting this too. It seems to happen randomly and it didn't do this on 1.6. It does this mostly with Handcent SMS in my case as the stock Messaging app seems to have this problem less frequently.
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
I've noticed that I get sms failures much more often too.. oddly though.. My wife's Legend (on 2.1) also seems to have this problem too.. and my signal seems to drop out more now too.. (as does my wifes).. didn't happen on 1.6

Couple of plus points though..

My phone is running much cooler than before.. idles at around 23 deg. Celsius

The vibration feature is much stronger.

Live wallpaper is very cool !
[XPERIA X10 General] JDwan:
Yeah, similar things have been happening lately on my friend's Moto Milestone as well. He's been on 2.1 for a while with it but said he was just starting to have problems around the same time. Maybe it's a problem with our carrier? Might check out the APN settings and see if they need to be changed.
[XPERIA X10 General] jas0607:
I have also had quite a few messages fail to send, and I may know why. Previously on 1.6, if you sent a message when you had no signal/network, it would keep trying to resend until it succeeded. Now with 2.1, it seems to fail the message if it is not sent within a specified time. I used to 'queue up' a couple of messages when on the train to work in the morning as I would be out of signal/network most of the journey. By the time I got off the train and into work, the messages would have been successfully sent. Now, most mornings when I get into work, the messages have failed completely.
[XPERIA X10 General] lghost1213:
Same as here, but when i resend it and its back to normal again......strange.......
[XPERIA X10 General] thunderpossuem:
Vcards work for me. Though the only time I've used it was sending one to a magic, and al they received was a bunch of code. So I dunno if it works entirely correctly
[XPERIA X10 General] Bunx:
reinserting battery really helps..so far..thnx ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] miniflight:
Screen will never sleep while charging

Forgot who said this and too lazy go back to check. But the option of screen will never sleep while charging is still there.

Go to Applications -> Development -> Stay awake

Edit: Also about the sms msg kept failing thing, I think some of the posters here are correct, it is due to the reception quality. Like when I got home, I didn't have a failed sms msg yet. When it was failing is when I was at a building 2nd floor (and higher the floor or in the basement level, I tend to get low reception).
[XPERIA X10 General] law910:
sorry not sure if this has been asked but does anyone know if I change or flash my X10 to firmware of another country. can SE still find out where my phone is from?

I am asking this because of warranty purposes.

Is it possible to buy overseas handset flash it and 'somehow' get a domestic receipt and get warranty?
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:

Have you guys also noticed that we can charge our X10's now without it having to be turned on? ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] guyonblackybx:
My X10 was doing that even before the update.

What I have noticed is that SMS doesnt get refreshed when a new SMS comes in while you are still viewing the chain. Any solution for this?
[XPERIA X10 General] jas0607:
It kind of does, the new message will be there, but just down below off the screen, so just scroll down.

Use Handcent SMS, works properly here.

[XPERIA X10 General] mark28:
I've noticed that my phone gets randomly hot, more so then with 1.6. And also before I was able to charge my phone and use it at the same time but now it gets hot and eventually will stop charging and also it charges really slow while I'm using it. Of course I know it's going to charge slow if I'm using it but it never use to be THIS slow. I'm gonna try flashing it with the update service because I used flashtools the first time

What did you do to fix this Rockplayer problem?

As my Rockplayer perfectly worked fine on 1.6 now after the 2.1 update all the videos it plays are very laggy (low fps). I

ts only not laggy if i convert it to .mp4 format which can be played by mediascape (enable hardware encoding), but that defeats the whole purpose of using rockplayer (play vids without requiring conversion)

PLease help!

[XPERIA X10 General] Gtshortie:
Hey Guys,

Just thought i'll let everyone know, that after alot of reading (even tried enabling JIT).

The solution is to just dump rockplayer app after 2.1, the alternative is Vplayer Alpha.

Does everything that Rockplayer use to do but on 2.1

Cheers
[XPERIA X10 General] tommoose:
the green led stays on when mine's fully charged too, the most worrying thing tho is that my battery life is quite poor compared to before, i think this might be because a number of apps are managing to restart themselves in the background even tho i have a task manager installed. would be interested to hear peoples thoughts on this as i didnt have this problem on 1.6 and what task manager people would recommend. so far i've tried advanced task cleaner, automatic task killer and taskiller

[XPERIA X10 General] chiefy009:
Done some research on task killers using the web, they do more harm than good. They use battery as well as ruin how the os should run. Google it you will see
[XPERIA X10 General] tommoose:
i'll give it a go without task manager enabled tomoro and see what happens

If you use watchdog to keep an eye on your usage you can still kill the apps that miss behave

search rockplayer on the market, goto the developers website...

on the right you will see the ARMV7 (click the blue button) download and install.
[XPERIA X10 General] tommoose:
i did try watchdog previously but couldnt get my head around it so settled for taskiller. i ran the phone with only the one click kill enabled and no autokills at all and at first the battery looked like it was going to have a short life but then it settled and performed a lot better. next up is the question to root or not to root. are there any benefits?

A couple of things I have noticed.

Under data roaming a third option has appeared - "National roaming", very handy for any T-Mobile or Orange customers who frequently travel abroad or regularly visit the Kent coast or Irish border area...

WiFi no longer disables itself when I lose signal, and it reconnects properly when waking from standby (Juice Defender disabling and re-enabling).

Also, the status updates work much better - in the past I had both timescape and Facebook grabbing Facebook status, now the Facebook (and Last.FM and Twitter) applications can update the status in the phone book.

However one issue I have run into - if you link a contact (e.g. Dad) with there Facebook profile the name displayed in the phonebook is that from the Facebook profile, and not the name I'd prefer (happens to be in the Google contact) - does anyone know how to change this? i.e. unlike Bart Simpson I call my dad "Dad" and not his proper name...

As for Task Manager - I use "Advance Task Killer" but have all the auto options turned off, I just use it when my phone is running low (if free memory is below 25MB it runs like treacle, kill enough apps to get above that and it's snappy once again).

Thanks for Bluetooth module. I can tansfer files via bluetooth.

Seriously I haven't noticed much on 1.6 (it was for less than a month) and updated to 2.1.

Now I couldn't receive SMS or Gmail mails when my phone memory is low. I dont know why it shows Low Phone Storage if it still has 15+ Mb... ?! :confused:

Now started looking for more BUGS!!! :smile:
