Do have anyone problem with power button? I men a next lost features:

1.) not possible hang up call by this button

2.) not possible switch phone to sleep mode from normal (unlock) operation mode. From lock mode that is possble.

Both these features were normaly working before upgrade to 2.1...

I am so frustrate from that, because is idiot situation now to put to pocket unlocked phone in operation mode or wait 15 sec to lock...

Many thx for any solution.
[XPERIA X10 General] raj_5004:
Same here. its just that the frequency has been reduced. In the 1.6, it used to blink once a second, in 2.1, it blinks once in maybe 3 seconds.

As mentioned in the video in SE blog, in 2.1 the call cannot be cancelled by pressing power button. it will only turn off the screen. to cancel the call, there is a new 'end call' button on the screen.

possible in my phone in both cases.
[XPERIA X10 General] raj_5004:
Even i am facing the same problem, tried all settings but in vain.
[XPERIA X10 General] SPIDERTECH:
Not sure what viewer you are talking about, but I know 2.1 was supposed to have a 3D gallery, but SE suppressed it for some reason. I found this a few days ago http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=826311 and they posted an apk that adds the shortcut to the 2.1 gallery to your app list. I like that viewer a lot more than mediascape.
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
Am I the only one who doesn't like the 3D gallery? It's tacky, poorly polished, and poorly implemented. Plus, with the amount of pictures I have (800+), it takes a long time to scroll to the end of the list.

Mediascape, on the other hand, is far quicker than it was in 1.6, so I'm happy.

My Data connection (H) automatically turns off at night... It's not going to Edge it just turns off!!! Anybody else facing the same?? I'm in Brazilian 2.1... Thanx
[XPERIA X10 General] loneLEE:
Hmm. For me, I have mixed feelings on the sms app. I didn't like the old one because it was boring (like reading messages from a forum), couldn't compose multiple line messages (once you hit the 'enter' button, it'll straight send the message instead of going to a new line) and worse, at the 3rd page of composition it treats the message as mms.

So I used an app called Handcent SMS. Looked cool. Cute speech bubbles to make the messages look more like a conversation. Very customizable, and even have instant notifications. Even disable the auto convert to mms at 3rd page thingee. Can see the photo of the person you are corresponding with some more. And can change font to make the wordings look more appropriately suited in the speech bubbles.

But then later I realized it's an iamalamePhone wannabe, so I was quite disappointed. But stuck to it because of the 3 bad points I mentioned earlier.

Now the new one looks nice, the conversation style is not like the boring forum-type layout, and I can compose a multiple lined messages. Just that no photos displayed =/ Will keep holding on to it longer before deciding whether I can

Anyway, is anyone able to compose a 3-page message and try see if it's sent as an sms or mms?

Cos I've been trying but the messages failed to be sent =/

Last but not least... hmmm... your Rachael really did that? Cos I'm pretty sure that for mine, it used to be that whenever I'm listening to music, when the music suddenly pauses for a moment, I knew that a message would be coming in. Never experienced the mixture you experienced before.

I have the same problem and also the phone gets frozen when using some live wallpapers have to restart the phone all the time
[XPERIA X10 General] gunjin1:
Well I use Blackmoon File Browser to view thumbnail pictures on my sd card. When I clicked a thumbnail in 1.6 a pop up would list Astro Image Viewer and View. I'm assuming this program View was native to 1.6 as like the generic image viewer instead of Mediascape. Now since upgrading to 2.1 I get prompted between Astro Image Viewer and Mediascape when I click an image thumbnail.

Thinking about it, it could well just be Blackmoon File Browser. Maybe it was really Mediascape in 1.6 but Blackmoon only labled it as "View" in their 'open with' prompt. Just hating being forced into using Mediascape. Will look into the link provided. Thanks.
[XPERIA X10 General] gunjin1:
@SPIDERTECH

Thanks for the link! The gallery app fixed my dependancy on Mediascape! And it's much better then whatever it was I was using in 1.6! :-)
[XPERIA X10 General] D3sRtH4mmR:
I'm not sure if we should compliment Sony Ericsson for anything that's improved after the update to 2.1. Especially when other Android handsets had already been upgraded to 2.1, 2.2 and heading for 2.3 while the X10 won't even get the 2.2!

The update took forever to come and there was no specific date for it. When Sony Ericsson finally said October I doubt that releasing the update in the last hours of October 31 to Nordic customers only qualifies.

This is absolutely the worst handling of an update that I've ever seen.

I have/had 2 issues with 2.1:

Contacts: I had a problem restoring my contacts using Backup & Restore (the natural option you'd think) but after hours of futile attempts it turned out that you need to restore them from within the contacts (go to Contacts, Menu, Import Contacts), not Backup & Restore.

Bluetooth: Dead. "No services found", even with Astro Bluetooth. I've unpaired and paired, deleted the handset from the notebook, many other attempts. No good. Worked fine on 1.6.

Ultimately I am seriously considering dropping Sony Ericsson when it's time for my next Android phone. I like the design of the X10 a lot better than competing Android handset, but I have no need for the software specifically engineered for the Xperia (Mediascape, Timescape), especially since Android is an open source platform.

I've used Ericsson since 1995. I had the first ever smartphone (R380s) and as a matter of fact still have it and it works! I own all the P-Series phones.

The company used to be a leader, but after the debacle of the X1 (worst phone I've ever owned) and the X10 update mess I think brand loyalty has its limits.
[XPERIA X10 General] gunawan-1:
X1 is not so bad actually. X2 is the worst.

And what's so bad with X10? I still have all P series (except P1). And according to me.... X10 is still better. I dare not say the best. If you ever used X2, you should cry for your live.

For me X2 is horrible damn stupid phone.

X10 is good smart phone. At least smart enough to be my phone.:-)
[XPERIA X10 General] D3sRtH4mmR:
I'm not comparing the P-series phones to the X10, different OS therefore no comparison. The X10 should be compared to other Android phones.

No idea about the X2 but the X1 is pretty horrendous.

My point is that considering (Sony) Ericsson's experience in mobile phones they should be at the cutting edge of innovation and not playing catch-up to other handset makers who have given their Android customers a smoother experience.

Just visit the SE product blog and look at the 2500+ comments about the 2.1 update. Many if not most of those users are unhappy about the way this update was handled.

As a matter of fact as of the last posting by SE comments have been disabled due to "technical issues"! Now what kind of customer experience is that!
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
@deserthammer (couldn't be arsed copying it as you've created it soz!)...

I have that Bluetooth problem too.. it's really irritating.. installed bluetooth file transfer app from the market.. and got it working once I'd enabled the FTP protocol.. doesn't work at all with OPP for some stupid annoying reason!
[XPERIA X10 General] D3sRtH4mmR:
@im_iceman

This 2.1 update is and was a continuous work in progress. There was never a finished product to release hence the installments.

I find it rather shameful that Sony Ericsson has made a mess of of the 2.1 update. Even worse, it was Ericsson that first developed the Bluetooth spec back in 1994 and released the first mobile with bluetooth, the T36 in 2000!

So far haven't managed to find a solution and SE support are, as usual, clueless. Can't blame them though if the mothership is at sixes and sevens.

Appreciate it if you can post if/when you find a solution.
[XPERIA X10 General] alankstiyo:
besides that, this is the 1st SE's android phone so it's not a big surprise that they screw it (didn't even expect them to screw it like this)

the x1 was something amazing sadly they didn't update it to wm 6.5, let's hope SE upgrade the x10 for a good while and that they learn from their mistakes (and they're a lot)
[XPERIA X10 General] fuusuke:
The facebook pop notification is now gone, anyone know how to install out again?
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
Aside from some obvious bugs, the general consensus is that the update was good.

Do you expect everything to be perfect and bug free? Look at Apple, their 4.1 update completely killed everyone's alarm clocks when daylight savings time ended. Look at HTC, Samsung, Dell, Motorola, Nokia, RIM, HP(Palm), Microsoft, Toshiba, ect. ect. ect.

Yes, the update took longer than it should've. Yes, there's some (easily fixable) bugs. Yes, SE screwed up big time when it came to communicating to customers (outside of Japan). Yes, the tiered rollout sucks. But, everyone was *****ing and *****ing for this update. It's come and gone. Instead of hate on it, help find workarounds to get around Sony Ericsson's shortcomings. That's the beauty of Android.
[XPERIA X10 General] D3sRtH4mmR:
No I don't expect everything to be perfect but considering that Android 2.1 is not a creation of Sony Ericsson and already released, tested and patched by other Android handset manufacturers I did expect a smoother experience, especially considering the protracted labor and delivery of this update.

Also, we're not talking about the alarm clock being screwed up. To update and end up with no contacts and Backup & Restore not restoring the contacts is unacceptable. Since SE knew the solution was to restore from within contacts they should've made it clear to customers. Instead I had to embark on a trial and error process to figure out how to regain my 1000+ contacts.

To update and have bluetooth functionality impaired is unacceptable.

I can deal with the low in call volume, camera and video issues, etc, etc. But basic functionality must be there.

I am speaking as a loyal Ericsson customer since 1995. I am not an engineer and therefore can't

if they're the result of poor engineering and shoddy design but what this forum does is important in exchanging ideas, tips and solutions to sort out problems and generate a smoother user experience.

I'm sorry to see the Sony Ericsson product blog http://blogs.sonyericsson.com/products/ disabling user comments due to "technical issues" and no new posts since November 9th.

You're right in talking about the beauty of android's open source OS. Since this is SE's first android phone I hope they learn from the experience, and the reaction.
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
I don't know about you, but all my contacts and settings were preserved in the update. Google synced everything... The phone even warned about being sluggish for the first few hours after the update.

Also: I'm happy they shut off comments... did you read them? Half were talking about killing Rikard, hoping his family dies in a horrible accident, and wishing that SE's office would blow up. That **** scared the hell out of me.
[XPERIA X10 General] D3sRtH4mmR:
The contacts issue is common; several people on this forum have complained about it, I'm sure there are others on different forums too.

I don't recall seeing over 1000 user comments threatening physical harm to Rikard, his family and Sony Ericsson.

Hold on...

Just checked again. Nope, nothing at all like "half were talking about killing Rikard..."

I'm not "happy" that they shut off the comments. I like to read comments like the following; they tell it like it is. Most of the comments are from irate customers who want their update, in October, as Sony Ericsson promised!
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
They banned me from the forum and the blog. :mad:
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
If by "tell it like it is" you mean act like spoiled, twelve year old brats complaining. Take that last post. There's still no such thing as "Gingerbread" for public release, nor is there any proof whatsoever of the update being available for "only 20%" of the users. Lastly, the poor English skills present a picture of a person who most likely isn't old enough to understand how businesses work.

I'm sorry, I don't have the capability to take someone seriously if they can't articulate themselves in a way that doesn't make them sound like a giant tool. I'm sure the folks at SE are probably sick of deleting posts. I've quoted posts before, but going back, they're gone now, moderated away.

Don't get me wrong, you can complain all you want, it's your right as a consumer. However, as a consumer, it's also your responsibility to research properly and purchase products based on what they can do now, not what a corporation says it may be able to do at some undetermined day in the future.
[XPERIA X10 General] D3sRtH4mmR:
Tell it like it is means holding Sony Ericsson up to its promise of an October update and one that works reasonably and smoothly.

Why just take the last post? So the guy is misinformed. Doesn't make him or the hundreds of others "spoiled, twelve year old brats complaining" as you say.

They were promised something that wasn't delivered, hence people (including myself) flashing Nordic, global and other firmware just to get the "October" update in November :confused:. Check out the posts in this forum in case you missed them.

To my knowledge "poor English skills" didn't prevent Einstein's genius from shining through so let's leave the command of the language aside and not denigrate others' legitimate complaints on the basis of it.

The hundreds of complaints and negative comments about this update are based in reality; the customers want what other Android 2.1 customers have had for quite a while now while SE plays catch-up. Why don't you also take a look at the Sony Ericsson Facebook discussions to get an idea of the level of customer frustration?

And I wouldn't be surprised if the boys at Sony in Japan are keeping an eye on this situation when their Korean and Taiwanese rivals have managed a much more satisfactory experience for their customers.
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
lol. Not to talk in circles or anything, but... I'm totally on the same page as you when it comes to being disappointed in the lack of communication from (Global) Sony Ericsson.

I just feel if one is going to ***** about something, ***** about it well, not in all caps, threatening language, or hyperbole. That changes nothing, and paints the entire fanbase as retarded. If you were Rikard, and 99% of the comments on your blog were "FUK U, SE, U SUK!!" would you respond? There's a difference between frustration and plain ignorant speech.

As far as I know, the update has gone well for most everyone involved. My argument is this: This is a forum for support and discussion about the X10. SE's Facebook is as well. People who are happy with their product will not complain, and they usually feel the need to talk about it either. People who are disappointed with their products will, however, and they're especially loud, understandable, since they bought a product at a (high/low) price. The amount of *****ing seems like a lot more than it really is, since in reality, not all of SE's users are on this forum/facebook/SE's blog.

Also, SE Japan has readily answered questions, told us we'd get 2.1 in November back in June, and a week for the update, posted the day, right down to the exact time the update would be pushed out, complete with a 20 page update guide. I only wish SE Global was as smart as SE Japan, then they probably wouldn't have so many people *****ing.
[XPERIA X10 General] D3sRtH4mmR:
You know I have nothing but the greatest admiration for this company. I got my first Ericsson mobile 15 years ago and never looked to another brand. I sincerely hope Sony Ericsson manages to become a leader in this field once again.

Now if I could get my bluetooth back...
[XPERIA X10 General] phoneguy 4567:
What I find amusing is remembering the many comments I read defending the delay in 2.1's release, as SE making sure it was a bug free experience or them adding in extras. Surprise instead of additions we give you deletions, welcome to Android 2.1 lite.

Horrible "feature" of Android 2.1
[XPERIA X10 General] SPIDERTECH:
Well it looks like some of my issues may have been related to the 2.1 update I used.

I updated to the Generic LAM to debrand and then went to the Global 2.1. The screen would not stay active at all while charging and I had serious menu lag. Well I found that the generic LAM has 2.1 out so I flashed back to 1.6 and updated to 2.1 through SEUS.

First thing I did after the flash was power off and then back on. I noticed that now when I have it plugged in, the screen stays on until I reach 100% charge, and even after installing a slew of apps, I have zero menu lag.

I started off with the branded US AT&T handset by the way.

[XPERIA X10 General] SPIDERTECH:
Like my post before your's, I have no lag anymore. Only thing I'm finding is that certain apps I should see in the market I'm not seeing. I saw there was a free version of PDAnet in the market on appbrain, but search says there's nothing. I know other x10 users have used pdanet so it should be there.

Going from 1.6 to 2.1 I didn't backup my settings. I used "Apn backup & restore" from the market. It's free and works like a charm.

Have you tried deleting the pairing information for the phone on your mazda before trying to pair again after updating to 2.1? I had my phone paired to my aftermarket dvd/nav stereo and I had to delete the pairing and then repair. It will not see it as a new device so it will try to use the previous settings. Mine wouldn't pair after the 2.1 update until I deleted the old pairing information on the stereo.

1. It is not true, it is not auto, it's a three-state setting: minimum bright; the bright you have set up in settings; maximum bright.

It is mean:

In 1.6, when you replied a message, and then they relied to you, you open the sms application an you can see the newest content of the sms.

But in 2.1, when you open an replied message, you only see the last content which you inputed, you have to slide down to see the lastest content
