[XPERIA X10 General] tuxStyle:
Ok.

Thanks .

Anyway, it seems Rogers will do us, the customers, a favor and release 2.1 soon :)
[XPERIA X10 General] gfraizer:
Similar experience to mackdaddy; rooted 1.6 using xda method, updated using Nordic 2.1 flash; (still showing x10i on ROGERS CANADA, but able to use Market, 3g, wifi etc.) Re-flashed to factory just to see if I could (warranty issues) and did it all over again. No issues, battery greatly improved, apps load faster tho boot-up seems to take forever (maybe too many apps?)

Downloading Global generic firmware for a test now.
[XPERIA X10 General] ing_fofo:
Sweeet

It worked correct in my X10a 1.6

Now X10i 2.1 rooted and downloading games :D

Thanks to all of you for transferring your knowledge with us... In my case I'm from Guatemala... I have called to my company asking for the update and they didn't even had that planed...

Well thanks again :P:D:D:D:D
[XPERIA X10 General] corpionz:
Finally I've got the 2.1 update!!

it is so easy. All you have to do is just edit the bulid.prop file and change the code to the Brazilian Code then update normally with SEUS.

After the update I've notieced that it connect to the intrenet via HSPDA and not 3G , so I am woundering if that is a problem and if there is a way to fix this, plz help

Brazil Generic(x10A) works great for ATT x10a

I saw someone asking for what works best for ATT x10a, I think I was one of first ATT people on SE forums to find and post about unbranded Brazil x10a Generic and Rogers Branded x10a kits from fastGSM.com. I tried Rogers x10a first, but after start screen froze on ROGERS, I used unbranded Brazil x10a and I swear to it this day because I have had none of the problems other people had. Phone even still said ATT. Not one issue. Even fixed low internal speaker volume on both earphone and speaker. Media speaker volume clearer and louder than I-phones now.
[XPERIA X10 General] batman_112:
There have been multiple comments on here that both confirm that the X10i and X10a firmware work fine on the X10a hardware. I am using the X10a world generic on my AT&T X10a.
[XPERIA X10 General] shizumarusan:
I have upgraded my x10a by the end of november and i loved it, everything working nice and smooth. I did the upgrade through pc companion.
[XPERIA X10 General] stan.s:
Okay, I'll bite. What version of Windows did you do this on? XP SP3 is a failure for most update methods, including SEUS. I've used DavinciTeam in the past for other SE phones, but was unable to get it do flash a X10a with XP SP3, even in Safe Mode which at least doesn't freeze when the SEMC flash device is detected. (5 laptop/desktops in the house and all are XPsp3)

I'm thinking that my daughter and I who both have X10a's will have to wait till the weekend since she's the only one with Win7 on a laptop....
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
My computer has XP professional, and fastGSM sends you the software DBx client 2.28.0 to flash. I didn't have any trouble.
[XPERIA X10 General] stan.s:
@agentIBM, XP Service Pack Matters. SP2 has no issues with any flasher, SP3 has issues with SEUS and some others.
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
I upgraded to Titanium Backup Pro today and re-flashed and rooted with 2.1 generic Brazil x10a using SEUS and z4root. I wanted to start over fresh and check some of the different settings people are using, and test removing bloatware completely vs. freezing it.

I used the APN settings above this time to start. I ran speed test 4 times and never once got over 1MBPS download speed, and the upload speed was almost better.

Test1:
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
Anyone know where I can find Brazil 1234-4836 upgrade flash? I just tried the newest update that changed me to x10i, and I lost Voice Search(google app that is only available in the USA and with 2.2 Froyo or X10a Brazil (intended for ATT)). I just flashed back to x10a with the global, and Voice Search showed up for a second and then disappeared. It is the best feature on my phone. The search bar on the home screen has a microphone tab instead of a magnifying glass, and you just speak anything from a contact person, an app, internet. It seems it is only available in the Brazil package. I originally paid $10 from fastGSM.com for it, and I'm hoping to find it here for free. Any help? Please!!
[XPERIA X10 General] stan.s:
FWIW, I have the Br/GEL aka Generic LAM version on my ATT phone and voice search isn't there and not in the market. Miss it, but it wasn't perfect. Probibly not on it since it's supposed to be English only right now isn't it? And it doesn't make sense to put it on a ROM that's for So Am.

Here's the thread with the decrypted roms listed. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=683793
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
There is a difference in the x10a Global Generic flashes being used on XDA. 2.1 unbraned generic Brazil 1234-4836 x10a..**Voice Search system app by google** Voice Search is a must have, once I have used it. With Voice Search, instead of having a magnifying glass icon on my search bar on the home screen, I had a microphone. From the home screen, it searches your phone, contacts, apps, internet, etc, via voice rather than typing. It is surprisingly accurate. It also allowed voice search in other market apps like Yellow Pages.

Voice search is only available in Froyo 2.2 or in USA 2.1 factory software packages. I used the 2.1 Global Generic kits available here on xda, however the Brazil 1234-4836 was not available, only 1234-4820. When I started up my phone the microphone icon was on the search bar for a couple seconds and then reverted back to the magnifying glass icon. It is not in the Global 1234-4820. You must use Brazil 1234-4836. I couldn't find the specific firmware. However, I did find out how to edit the default.prop and build.prop files with Root Explorer and change the brand from 1234-4820 to 1234-4836, and then use SEUS to repair the software from here...

http://xdaforums.com/arch.../t-828163.html

You will know it worked when the phone starts up, language will default to Portuguese(Brazil) rather than Espanol(Mexico) and it will say Proximo upper right corner.

So, there is a difference in the packages..This is a must have especially since there are no plans I have heard of to update 2.2. I don't know how well other languages are supported yet. Check google voice search on internet to find out more.
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
I ended up rebranding by editing build.prop file and repair software SEUS, and I got voice search back. It seems to be specific to certain SI #. Worth rebranding if you ask me.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stat30fbliss:
Now that I am enjoying my first ROM, I am getting ready to re-wipe and flash in my second ROM attempt as I taste some different flavors of new OS. My question is, will I lose the contents of my SD on a rewipe? Even more in detail, will I lose apps that I was able to save to SD with my current ROM?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laie1472:
Just make a back up of ur SD to ur PC and u should b fine and if ur apps are on ur SD already then no you won't loose them the only way to completely wipe ur SD card is by formatting it via PC or recovery or in the os itself under SD/ card & phone storage and u have to remember the apps u choose to install to the SD from within the rom on a full system and data wipe yes they will b deleted if you have them backed up threw a program like titanium back up on ur SD then full wipe or not they will b on ur SD and if your asking can u flash a different rom and still have the apps you have on your current rom show up without installing them again then no hope this helps good luck

threads like these make me wish i was a moderator.... seriously, like comon you are talking about Z having a sense? you DO know that once root is accomplished, it would be super easy to load custom roms on the G2 right... and i;m pretty sure devs would work one up with sense.

and as far as ffc is concerend... the desire Z doesnt have one.... correct me if I'm wrong
[G2 and Desire Z General] scottmog:
yup, he sure did a fail rant lol.

[G2 and Desire Z General] funkadesi:
I am sorry to break this to you but ginergerbread is mostly concentrated on UI changes like colors.... its going to be green instead of yellow for status bars and all. Also, they are concentrating on integrated video calling (hence FFC stuff) and better usability for tablets... ;)
[G2 and Desire Z General] nivlac978:
I know, but I'm kinda hoping to be surprised. And the sooner it comes out, perhaps the sooner we get permanant root.
[G2 and Desire Z General] jordanjay29:
FFC? Who cares? How many of your friends REALLY have a phone with an FFC? Okay, maybe all of one or two if one happens to have an Evo and another happens to have an iPhone 4. And you're really inclined to call either of these people versus texting them? Right. And since you're so inclined, now you really have to use up your strength to hold your phone a foot away from your body in order for the camera to get your whole face in the camera for the entire conversation?

If you answered yes to all these questions, you are in a very small, small minority.
[G2 and Desire Z General] KeithRVA:
And you are sending this retarded post from your Nexus One which has neither Sense nor a front facing camera. Personally, I don't need a ffc, I have an iPod Touch 4g if I ever really need to see the person on the other end. Don't need Sense either, already have Launcher Pro and Beautiful Widgets and Weather/Toggle Widget from the market. I can customize my G2 a different way for every day of the year. Sense sucks.

[G2 and Desire Z General] Ties0:
I like sense as well. I find it one of the best looking ui's, but sense does get in the way sometimes. :o

I am sure one day you can flash a sense rom into your g2(once it is rooted), but I would rather keep it vanilla because of the performance and updates.

Not really much to say, I'm happy I got the g2, because the desire z most likely would not get updates as fast as the g2, and that is what really matters.
[G2 and Desire Z General] skulk3r:
lol rage wut? stop your hating.

@yunghit: as per the reasons listed above, the G2 is in essence, identical to the Desire Z. The only real tangible difference is that:

People have had the G-2 in their hands for muuuuch longer than the Desire Z

G-2 is for North American T-Mobile customers (band difference that wouldn't work in some European and Asia Pacific areas)

Sense will come to a G-2 once permanent root is achieved - although, most people prefer their device without bloatware such as HTC Sense.

Personally, I think HTCSense.com is pretty cool so I would keep sense on my Desire Z. But don't fret - if you get a G-2 you could probably load Sense on it and then sign up for a HTCSense.com account.

MOD REQUEST - close thread please.

[G2 and Desire Z General] naria01:

[G2 and Desire Z General] kholk:
I'm sorry but I have to reply to this.

I've bought a T-Mobile G2, imported from the USA and I'm using it in Italy: H3G ITA on HSPA with the G2 works at 7.2MBps (FULL SPEED) without pain. Signal receiption is better on G2 than on my HTC HD2.

And:

T-Mobile G2's board is HTC Vision

HTC Desire Z's board is HTC Vision.

So.

T-Mobile G2 = Vision = HTC Desire Z
