[Fascinate Android Development] jayfr76:
Nicely put. So where can i get a non voodoo 1.2 that does not require setcpu. Or is voodoo the way to go, it seems like the only reason people go that route is for the benchmark scores. My fascinate is running everything I have thrown at it. I tried voodoo for a while, seemed like it was more trouble than it was worth. So thanks for the clocking education. How about that stable 1.2 that doesn't require setcpu or atleast doesnt have a conservative only kernel. Seems like when it is applied it takes a bit for everything to wake up.
[Fascinate Android Development] morfic:
I am still fine tuning the settings, but if agenthex wants what i use, he can build this for captivate easy.

phones react very differently, while mine always took 1.2 and even does 1.3 all day long with everything but neocore, some can't even run 1.2 past media scanner.

my latest variation seems to suggest it all relates to the mathe voodox8998 chip not being all so hot about supplying any voltage (current? we look at voltages, but it does affect what current gets sucked) even well below its limit of 1.5V.

the voodoo github is a "all variants under one roof" repository, so all edits are available for all variants of sgs, my ADD and git are just making me concentrate on bringing more stability to more phones instead of starting commits, but they will come.

Agenthex: work on dropping VDDINT1 and only use it for the max speed, use VDDINT2 for the other 4, this seems to help.

How low this can be dropped before its positive effect is reversed i can not predict.

i want to build a few more things right now, but might paste stuff on here later maybe.
[Fascinate Android Development] riceman06:
Idk if this helps but I got the 1600 MHz kernel from vibrant. I'm sure this won't work in our phones but can someone port it over or at least give me an idea on how to port it over
[Fascinate Android Development] morfic:
There is no 1600mhz kernel for the vibrant.

There is none for any of the phones.

Lost or removed features:

- Automatic brightness

- Green Led notification for unread SMS

Worsened features:

- GPS settings

- GPS popup warning each time GPS is enabled

New bugs:

- Low resolution contact pictures

Replaced functionalities:

- Dedicated SMS backup to SD card, superseded by Backup&Restore application, which is unable to restore old backup format.
[XPERIA X10 General] lornova:
I would like to collect and discuss all the features removed or lost in the 2.1 update, as well as the new bugs, annoyances, and the features that have somehow worsened.

Please post you list, I will update accordingly the opening post.

This should also be the place where to discuss these issues or post workarounds.

For me a big problem is GPS. The additional setting is gone, and now every time you activate GPS via the widget, you get the confirmation popup :(

But even worst, the confirmation popup appears even if an application enables GPS in background!
[XPERIA X10 General] gtrab:
I read auto bright is still there, seems it is on the widget now
[XPERIA X10 General] Shadback:
Lost Features :

No more Green Led notification when you receive a sms :(
[XPERIA X10 General] lornova:
No, it's a three state: minimum bright; settings bright; maximum bright
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
Supposedly works just fine if the screen is off.

Feature Worsened:

The signal-to-noise ratio on these forums is far far too low.
[XPERIA X10 General] lornova:
Just done a test. With the screen off, I sent me an SMS. I got the new message sound, and then the green led remained off.
[XPERIA X10 General] zm4:
You can use BLINK for your LED thing.

I been using it but not sure if you can use it for SMS...
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
Weird. I've found my phone not blinking for other notifications too, on 1.6.

Have you tried another SMS app?
[XPERIA X10 General] lornova:
But it just worked on 1.6.... so definitely wither a new bug or a removed feature!
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
I'm gonna go with bug.
[XPERIA X10 General] tigermrk:
flashing green light every 5 seconds on sms recieved using stock message app.

was it a constant light on 1.6 i cant remember now has it been that long lol :)
[XPERIA X10 General] arkedk:
Auto brightness is not removed it's on the widget as the middle click!
[XPERIA X10 General] tigermrk:
are u guys sure ive left mine unread for the last 5 mins and its still flashing every 5 seconds till read it.
[XPERIA X10 General] rodolfo7171:
you know what else downgraded? when using the default browser and you are trying to look at all your windows open it shows them in a list not in a screenshot
[XPERIA X10 General] Shadback:
Sorry for the Led Light bug,apprently,it seems to works. Sorry for my mistake.
[XPERIA X10 General] tigermrk:
its one less thing to worry about :).

I had a total freeze on stock browser last night couldnt close it down properley had to restart. got used to that though from nokia 5800/x6. thought id seen the last of it.

Luckily it has not happened since so ill give it the benefit of the doubt this time.
[XPERIA X10 General] olafski72:
worsened: The exchange native support is removed from Android 2.1 and they still got Moxier in there :mad:
[XPERIA X10 General] MeZmeriZe_:
I am going to use my root to remove all default Google apps so I can install the cyanogenmod versions... see if i can't get exchange back in the mail app and remove bloat.
[XPERIA X10 General] dundun1701:
The new sms is really anoying. There r no auto bookmark to the newest message like before
[XPERIA X10 General] abdallah.nh:
working fine on off screen.
[XPERIA X10 General] abdallah.nh:
No it is not working like that, the middle option is not auto, i tried what you said and the brightness didn't change.
[XPERIA X10 General] tgoalves:
I'm having some odd trouble with apnandroid widget, it seems to not work at all. To turn off 3g/edge, i must to use the "status change" widget (provided with SE 2.1). Is there anyone else with the same problem?
[XPERIA X10 General] Bennachie:
No bluetooth from computer

Screen no longer stays live whist charging (despite being told to)
[XPERIA X10 General] Bennachie:
Boot takes forever
[XPERIA X10 General] gunawan-1:
I assume these are improvements. I like these one. And I can turn off phone while charging.

Gunawan, GN Multimedia & X10i
[XPERIA X10 General] epinion:
Try using astro bluetooth module
[XPERIA X10 General] labowner:
Finding the 2.1 much faster and smoother, battery life is probably a bit better and the angry birds are driving me nutz...:rolleyes:

Another bonus is the chat on FB using Bloo is working both ways on 1.6 it wouldn't show any incoming just outgoing chat for me anyway...:)

So so far all good but given a few more days I'm sure I will find a few gripes..;)
[XPERIA X10 General] elvikswe:
I love the 2.1 update.

Exept that when im scrolling facebook/contact list ect. it just shoots away auto scrolling in the speed of light. Might be human error but it's anoying as hell and didn't have that problem before.
[XPERIA X10 General] weefatbob:
02 Uk here, unbranded, updated today, but using backup & restore, all contacts are missing, tried second third time to restore from several restore points, but all i managed to get was a couple of favourites back and full contact list is empty.

Thought I was safe with using the backup & restore app so never made any other back ups of the contacts, shame over 200 business contacts lost.

Any other apps available that can use the restore point to get the contacts back or how can i edit the sbf file to get the contacts?

After taking hours to reassign names (tags) to all my pics now i click on a pic and another one comes out instead of the one i chose... Anybody else facing this???
[XPERIA X10 General] ahsengah:
Anyone have any camera focusing issues ? My camera was fine prior to 2.1.

When I focus using single or macro focus, it cannot seem go focus on it, isntead I get the red box saying it cannot focus. It was fine before updating to 2.1.

Anyone else got this ? Any fix ?
[XPERIA X10 General] Bennachie:
Bluetooth issue now OK. Unpaired and repaired - fixed

Why did the battery percentage show early on then never again? What have I missed?
[XPERIA X10 General] murmeljenta:
I find that the face recognition and name tagging part of mediascape is seriously weakened from android 1.6 to 2.1. Two major problems:

1. When displaying nametagged photos, some tags are hidden behind other tags. Some tags show up when I rotate the phone (photo scales up/down). Others do not appear at all. Except that all tagged pictures are shown under the tagged names in the Friends category... Many tags are incorrect (face recognition failed), and I have no way of deleting/changing them!

2. When tagging a face, we need to scroll through absolutely all names, a few names at a time. In 2.1, "all names" means names from ALL contact lists, meaning quadruple entries for those people that exist in my phonebook, Twitter, Facebook and Facebook Timescape (why two facebook bases?)! Couldn't we get an alphabet bar as in the phonebook? Can't believe that this wasn't improved since 1.6...
[XPERIA X10 General] freeoscar84@hotmail.com:
Same problem here and also a similar bug with video... Facebook duplication fixed by joining them into a single contact...

In call deffo better in 2.1!

Bluetooth phonebook crap
[XPERIA X10 General] frankie99969:
had a similar problem, did them all separately and it worked
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
1) Did you update your backup and restore app BEFORE updating to 2.1? That's one of the requirements. If you don't, you won't get your contacts.

2) Shouldn't your contacts be synced with Google anyway? You know, the whole point of a Google phone?
[XPERIA X10 General] mayamo:
1. stupid social contact

i cant manually link contacts that fb wont autolink. nor can i edit anything such as their pics..

2. notification bar

too big too fat

and also theres a bug where the notification bar disappears... i dont know what causes it but it happened to me and i had to reboot the phone..

3. annoying notifications..

i have no data plan just wifi cuz i live in a wifi zone lol...

so i unticked the data transmission or we part and everytime i reboot my phone i get a warning on the notification bar..

also.. whenever i start the browser fresh.. it keeps asking for my network setting.. rogers/fido.. but i cant do anything cuz i have no data plan! and it appears evry single time i open the browser!! its that new sonyericsson bar in the settings.. how the hell can i disable that

4. bluetooth

someone said it only works one way.. but mine... it wont even pair with my comp.. this is so frustrating..

.........

things i like

-skype, angry birds

-five home screens

-enterprise wifi now possible without wificonfig nor root

EDIT: NVM guys, I was just a dumbass, disregard my message
[XPERIA X10 General] lightyear420:
I have noticed with the new stock phonebook I can not find any option to call a contact without having to edit the number first. It's an annoyance, IMO,to have to click so many extra times just to place a call.
[XPERIA X10 General] mayamo:
um you select the person in the phonebook then u click the number.. before when u click the number, it took you to the dialpad.. but now it automatically calls them.. it's actually one less click from 1.6....
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
or you can click on their avatar and it brings up an option to dial them...
[XPERIA X10 General] HyperionX10:
Just updated, at first look what I don't like:

1. The standard keyboard:

- it's full screen in landscape mode. In a messenger application I cannot see what the other person had written to me while I am typing (in 1.6 we didn't have this issue).

- cannot disable the auto-capitalization!?! This option is present in the Android keyboard, but not in standard one. Good job SE :(

2. The brightness: it's been said before, bad...

3. No "Exit" button for the stock browser. How do we close it? Pressing Home button will not ensure that the application is not running in background and using Back until exits is really annoying.

Has anyone found a solution/replacement for the keyboard issues?

And another question: what's with the UEFA.com app that came pre-installed?
[XPERIA X10 General] roaringhere:
This one annoys me a lot, I have to re-open the messaging all the time to see the new message...

Also, they remove the message count of the particular contact, in 1.6, it shows after the name how many messages are, with the person...

I still prefer the 1.6 messaging anytime, but the new messaging keyboard is cool...
[XPERIA X10 General] loneLEE:
My Mediascape shuts down automatically alot. Does anyone encounter the same problem?

If none, then I might have to look into possible culprits like task manager and startup auditor, WHICH, I did set them to ignore it.

Also, has anyone noticed that there aren't any list of the built-in apps like "Market", "Timescape" etc in the applications part of the menu? You know... to either uninstall or clear caches?
[XPERIA X10 General] henh:
wow, after reading these posts here i wonder it took sooo loooong for SE to do such bad update?
[XPERIA X10 General] don_alaa:
Use Blink app u can find it on the market! makes u customize the notification light even if u want the light to be pink it ll be:D
[XPERIA X10 General] epinion:
The led DID work only in a different way. It will On if your screen is OFF.
[XPERIA X10 General] alankstiyo:
I didn't update the backup app and got all my contacts back after updating to 2.1

sadly just lost the apps xD
[XPERIA X10 General] Bennachie:
My experience is different. I have complained aboiut the in-call volume for months (ever since getting the phone, in fact) and the 2.1 update HAS improved the volume. It can be heard (but not deciphered) by other people in the room now, whereas they could not hear it at all before.

oh, and after re-pairing my bluetooth devices all aspects of that work properly. Battery life seems MUCH improved and the general feel and speed are a definite step forward.
[XPERIA X10 General] lightyear420:
lol....oh :p Wasn't aware of that lol Thanks!!
[XPERIA X10 General] chongbh:
I notice that the screen timeout has no more option of "Never Turn Off" and the maximum allowance is 30 mins.

As for the screen dim out when your phone is low battery, it used to dim down the brightness when it is low battery or below 10% but now there is no changes. I prefer this changes though.
[XPERIA X10 General] chongbh:
Yes, I quite like the way it work for the led to turn off when the screen comes on.
[XPERIA X10 General] metcard:
The X10 mini has a smart dialling widget which works pretty nice. I wonder if it's possible to extract the apk for it and install it on the X10 maxi?
[XPERIA X10 General] peter_15:
it was working on 1.6... someone has posted the apk at the x10 mini thread...

i haven't tried it yet with 2.1

i uploaded it here

[XPERIA X10 General] alankstiyo:
something lost is that the screen was on after being recharged to 100% now it just shut downs, kinda sucks cause I recharge it at work while listening some music and gotta turn the screen, unlock it to change song
[XPERIA X10 General] losty-1H:
I updated to 2.1, after that i feel my phone is buged. phone is working slower then 1.6. i use 2.1 nordic (not rooted)

is it only me feel the update do the phone slower?
[XPERIA X10 General] alankstiyo:
feel that just for the menu, I feel the keyboard worst sometimes, was using msn talk and some words were kept on the keyboard, double sending that wtf
[XPERIA X10 General] losty-1H:
do we have a fix? :D 2.1 system is old now =p
[XPERIA X10 General] epinion:
The phone will speed up by time. Change the stock launcher with ADW launcher from anderweb.
[XPERIA X10 General] bbsrailfan:
I wonder how no one noticed this - photo quality has gone down by leaps and bounds. Some facts to highlight:

With 1.6, my pics were getting saved at 98% JPEG quality - with 2.1, it has come down to 87%

Photo quality is very sad, with HEAVY noise-reduction applied causing loss of details. 1.6 camera was WAAAAAAY sharper

Lots of motion blur - even in strong daylight. I used the normal mode with EV at -0.7 and auto WB, anti-shake turned OFF. Everything came out crisp and sharp in 1.6, while in 2.1, even a slow-moving car came out blurred.

EDIT: Of course, colors seem a bit more natural now. Earlier, the images were too rich in blue and lacking in greens. Now its more balanced.
[XPERIA X10 General] tris1979:
You need to reapply the picture to the contact. This problem was there in 1.6 after backing up contacts to SD card and restoring them all pictures are low res. I thought it might of been fixed in 2.1 though.
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
Is anyone else having problems sending files from laptop to phone over bluetooth? I've check everything obvious (Obex push is ticked) I can send files to my wifes HTC legend.. I could send files when on 1.6... I can send file FROM the PHONE to the laptop.. but not the other way..

I've tried unpairing and re-pairing.. I've even switched back to UK Generic.. and it still don't work..

Says "No Services Found".. Any ideas?

Thanx... When will LATAM Generic start rolling out or is it the same as The Brazilian one...do u notice any difference... Do u have uefa.com preinstalled???

And tell me did you only change the codes or u also replaced the word x10i with x10a among with the codes...

[XPERIA X10 General] bobsaget78:
Hi all,

Am I the only one who hates the new Messaging app?? Its so slow and inefficient. When you send a message it blocks itself from user interaction, unlike the stock 2.1 app (and the 1.6 app) that queued up messages so you could keep going about your busy day. Also its message box is HUGE! and it can't handle multiple attachments at once in slideshow mode.

Also the Android Keyboard lacks a dictionary so it keeps using my contact's names as autocorrect selections. :(

Last but not least, when listening to music the media pauses to play a notification then resumes. 1.6 did not do this, it mixed the two things together so you got he best of bother worlds.

:(

Just my two cents.
[XPERIA X10 General] manajui:
Could any one tell me how to restore my contacts from backup and restore after2.1 update. I tried the restore and checked only contacts but didn't work. I did this like100 times yet didn't work. Any ideas
[XPERIA X10 General] ggpiucco:
I don't know if it was already posted, but auto brightness is still there, when you use the second state. I just unlocked the phone and covered the sensor, the screen dimmed as if I were in a dark environment.

The 3-state button setting seems to be "low", "auto brightness" (and then you adjust the max in the settings menu) and "bright".
[XPERIA X10 General] pyro224:
try flashing again

i had this problem the first time

i re did it and for some reason restore worked properly
[XPERIA X10 General] ilya_m:

[XPERIA X10 General] mattiL:
That is a new and expected improvement. (at least expected by me)
[XPERIA X10 General] MJ_QaT:
No need to re-install your device's software, just go to phonebook>View Contacts> then tick whatever you want to be displayed, Gmail contacts usually are not ticked that's the reason why your contacts are not displayed

View Contacts is at the top left to the search box
[XPERIA X10 General] SPIDERTECH:
For me as well. I love that they did away with that "feature". I would hate it when I call someone and I would accidentally hit the power button to turn off the screen and it hung up on them.

I think what is annoying me most now about 2.1 is that the screen does not stay on when plugged in. I use my phone in the car to stream pandora and slacker with the phone connected to my stereo. I hate having to reach up to turn on the phone and unlock it just to change tracks or see what artist is playing. The phone is set to "Stay Awake" while charging, but it still turns off.

Speaking of charging, my phone was almost dead and I plugged it in to charge, but a couple of minutes later it was showing an 84% charge level. After a few more minutes it was at 77%, then 64%, and now 66%. Anyone having false charge indicator amounts? It shows the same charge amount on the lock screen and the Status Switch widget.

So far my phone has been much more stable.
