Looking forward to it :-)
[XPERIA X10 General] se_dude:
@unknown13x- Atleast you can givw us an overview of the new phones that are lined up for launch? Is Anzu/Zeus the most highly specced phone out there for SE?
[XPERIA X10 General] hamed1297:
is there any possiblility of farsi support for X10?
[XPERIA X10 General] unknown13x:
Yes, Anzu will be the highest, but it won't come alone :) There will be other kick*** handsets coming with it :D My biggest tip is don't believe what you read at MR, they don't know their info, period. There's alot more under Anzu and the other handsets' sleeve.
[XPERIA X10 General] ooidort:
Hey, do you know anything about the "update" that happened 21.12.2010 according to SE's website? ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=883890 )
[XPERIA X10 General] se_dude:
@unknown13x- So no dual core yet? Do they atleast have one in the works? Well, I need a replacement for my X10 and I was thinking if there are any phones with more uice under the hood than the X10, not talking about software.
[XPERIA X10 General] unknown13x:
sorry, not gonna say anything regarding that. Back to topic, and I think this topic is gone far enough, let's just wait til CES to see things more clearly shall we? :rolleyes:

@ooidort

nothing new, just bug fixes that causes stability issues
[XPERIA X10 General] Bennachie:
unknown13 any thoughts on an update to allow our device to be used as a phone? You know,................. increased call volume?
[XPERIA X10 General] hamed1297:
if they don`t deside to update X10 to 2.2,at least they must enable 16M color & do something for call volume & app2 sd to satisfie their customer.
[XPERIA X10 General] Bialynia:
Please no 16M colors! All that would do is slow down the phone.
[XPERIA X10 General] Tony_C:
This is the change log from the thread discussing the new update

Changelog List:

1- Incall volume is lound and clear

2-Fells faster overall

3-Nothing about Multitouch.

4-Unlock animation is more fluid and more responsive

5-the keyboard is now white and grey, like to HTC

6-Be care before updating! No root method avialble Now
[XPERIA X10 General] FelipeRRM:
2.2 is old

I WANT 2.3 !
[XPERIA X10 General] Flo95:
Maybe the changes are higher for 2.3 than for 2.2, because the X12 will come with 2.3, so SE doesn't have to customize the whole 2.3 firmware for the X10 and they don't need so much time for it, so let's hope.
[XPERIA X10 General] loneLEE:
Hmm seriously this shows the ugly side of us. When it was 1.6, we demanded 2.1.

Now we have 2.1, we demand 2.2.

What if we get 2.2? We'll be whining for 2.3.

After getting 2.3, we cry for 2.4. And the vicous cycle goes on and on.

Why can't we just accept Rachael for who she is? 2.1 is already good enough. We have live wallpapers.

I personally won't bet on a 2.2 upgrade possibility.
[XPERIA X10 General] aosi:
i think its no so easy, 'cause there are diferents drivers like screen, cpu gpu etc... so they have to do the update compatible with both phones so i think they dont
[XPERIA X10 General] hamed1297:
why not?with every update u receive more options and stability.

i`m not very optimistic about 2.2.because they just working on 2.3 now.there is no 2.2 on next devices like zeus and PSP phone.it shows that they just jump into 2.3 and no intention for updating X10 to 2.2

i just hope that developers port upcoming phone`s rom to X10.
[XPERIA X10 General] pshdo:
"good enough" you say...

Have you ever tried eg. a HTC Desire HD, just to compare them ?

I actually have both a X10 and a desire hd, and the desire is lightyears faster and smoother to use, and with Mutch better firmware and a huge amount of build in widgets and working apps, Mutch better incall sound, and offcource a bigger more sensitive screen...

Oh, and it has MT, nice working MT...

I love my new desire hd, the X10 is only my spare phone now...

The funny thing is that hardware wise, there is not THAT big difference between the two phones, not enough to make this phone that mutch better one should think...

SE is in fact lightyears behind, and I'm sure they will never catch up....

Sent from my Desire HD with the score of 1923 in Quadrant, using only plain stock Rom...!
[XPERIA X10 General] loneLEE:
Umm... Like everyone else, I did an extensive research and review over the net before getting her, so I have no regrets getting it.

And yes, I did try a Desire phone before. I was impressed that it had Live Wallpapers, and the colors seemed richer and transitions were smoother, but like I said, I have accepted Rachael for who she is. And well, she has Live Wallpapers now too.

I don't care about multitouch as there are fun games available that don't require that too. If I need it so desparately, I would have gotten a phone capable of it, not join the Whining Horde.

I bought her because she looks pretty, has cool softwares like Mediascape and Timescape.

Learn to appreciate the things you have, I'd say. If you resent her for her diabilities, why not just sell her to someone who will appreciate her? You'd be happier that way too.
[XPERIA X10 General] zabihjan:
i am a UK X10i user, i recieved an email saying 2.1 was final. they have no plans updating X10 to 2.2 or 2.3. i dont really understand who to believe now.
[XPERIA X10 General] yemgi:
All official SE communication say that 2.1 is the latest Android release the X10 will get. There will be a few updates but it will remain 2.1.

All the new hardaware they are working on will run 2.3 so there is no chance we will ever get an official 2.2 relesae for the x10
[XPERIA X10 General] loneLEE:
Just would like to add:

Having a 2.3 on new model doesn't mean X10 will have 2.3 too. The most important thing is that Sony Ericsson did not make any promises for further upgrades.

Hope this'll be clear enough so that nobody would whine about not having 2.3 on X10 when the new phone is out.

No expectations = no disappointments
[XPERIA X10 General] jimbo77:
+1 it couldn't be said better than this.... I do like my X10 as it is with 2.1 update it gives me just what I need. That 2.2 & 2.3 are way too better than 2.1, true but I don't care; if I would wanted to have those OS I would have bought another phone like an HTC so I don't mind if SE gives us or not further updates....

Sorry if someone feels like offended but that's my personal opinion.

Cheers....

Jim

[XPERIA X10 General] hamed1297:
till today i didn`t see any SE phone with 2.2 ,but.....i found thisssss:

it is Zeus with 2.2 .is there any hope?
[XPERIA X10 General] unknown13x:
That was only for testing purposes. The real Zeus will launch with 2.3. They will not come with 2.2 and update to 2.3 as MR stated. 2.3 Straight out launch. So we will never see 2.2 with the new handsets.
[XPERIA X10 General] batman_112:
Any word on whether AT&T will carry Zeus? ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] unknown13x:
All I can say is the US will be the first to enjoy the Zeus. Carrier wise, I do not know which carrier will it go to, but looking at the possibility, ATT has the highest chance of carrying it (Tmob has Nexus S). I'm not so happy due to ATT's poor service, but we all just want the phone right? :p
[XPERIA X10 General] batman_112:
Yeah exactly, at&t is horrible. My contract runs out on 03/31/11, so I will hold off till they release Zeus so I can snatch it up! Hopefully, I won't have to wait too long! :D
[XPERIA X10 General] unknown13x:
nvm, didn't pass the censoring :D
[XPERIA X10 General] Bennachie:
Unknown 13 , what about a volume fix so I can use my phone as a phone?

Come on you MUST know something?!
[XPERIA X10 General] hamed1297:
i wonder why they don`t even hear our voice about volume in call, i dont think it is a BIG request.

they can`t or thay don`t want to update to 2.2,ok.but at least they can lower our anger by solving the minor problems that some time are BIG Enought.
[XPERIA X10 General] unknown13x:
try the new FW yet?
[XPERIA X10 General] batman_112:
Nope. Still not out for X10a running world generic 1234-4820.
[XPERIA X10 General] alankstiyo:
think you just cleaned your ears like your mom said xD

I have few calls with low volume, mostly inside my house (kinda weird cause I listen a lot of noise)

at work it's just fine
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
One of the major upgrades with 2.2 Froyo is google voice search. Voice Search is available on some of the x10a 2.1 upgrades, specifically SI 1234-4836 Brazil. If you have x10a Generic Global and you don't have voice search capabilities, you probably have 1234-4820. You can re-brand to 1234-4836 and repair SEUS to get voice search, since 2.2 or 2.3 update may be wishful thinking.

Realizing there are difference in kits, I'm wondering what SI ####-#### are the few people who are happy with their in-call volume?
[XPERIA X10 General] batman_112:
You mean CDA not SI.
[XPERIA X10 General] karun11:
@unknown13x

What do you think would be SE's policy regarding updates? Since SE said it'll provide updates upto two years after the phone's launch, do you think we'll get more updates after the Jan end update?

And what do you think about android version updates? Is SE going to base the future updates (if any) on current versions or will it go the apple way of having the same version on all devices,new and old,and let the customer decide?

I was just curious to know more regarding this, as like many others, its essential for me to have an idea for how long my device will be supported. If rival firms provide android version updates to even low end devices,where does SE stand in that respect?

Thanks for laying down your views.
[XPERIA X10 General] unknown13x:
There's some new info's, if its correct then it's good news, however I can't say much as there's not much info about it yet. I'll share my info after CES, need to gather more info.
[XPERIA X10 General] minjiet:
cant wait for it....
[XPERIA X10 General] Flo95:
Cool, is the info about higher Android versions like 2.2 or 2.3?
[XPERIA X10 General] hamed1297:
very eager to know it.hope it will be os update at least 2.2.

oh God plz.
[XPERIA X10 General] karun11:
Cool. Will wait till CES is over and hopefully u'll have something for us.

@Flo95

As unknown13 confirmed, no confirmed information regarding future updates is available.
[XPERIA X10 General] Flo95:
I wanted to know, if the new info is about updates to 2.2 or 2.3...
[XPERIA X10 General] karun11:
Which is precisely what he said he'll try and confirm.

1.Whether we'll be getting future updates?

2. If yes, then what version 2.x will it be based on?
[XPERIA X10 General] hamed1297:
2.2 is gooood

2.3 is betterrr
[XPERIA X10 General] batman_112:
X10 will probably get neither :)
[XPERIA X10 General] dsurka:
Maybe not, and probably the update unknown13x is talking about refers to carrier availability in the US or something related to the new phones.

I don't own an X10, want to but if I don't see any indication this phone will be supported any longer i'll stick with my G705 and wait for my carrier to bring another decent android.

What matters to me most of about the X10 is the touch lag, something that if the pinch/zoom update wasn't announced i would have discarded completely but maaaybe, maaaybe some of that lag will be fixed in the MT update.
[Nexus One Accessories] efrant:
This just started happening recently: when I place my Nexus One in the car dock, it doesn't recognize that it is in the dock. It still charges, but Car Home doesn't start, nor does it connect to the dock via Bluetooth. I checked the connections on the bottom of the phone and in the dock, and they seem clean, and the phone does not seem loose in the dock. Any ideas/suggestions? Thanks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] docflower:
So Im not really a fan of the setiron kernel because it KILLS my battery. It is fast as hell but not that much faster than the AOSP ver. Im not knocking it because it is a really nice/fast rom. Just generally curious if there are other roms that do not use setirons kernel. Seems like all the ROMs now are using his kernel.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wvumaniac79:
I agree about the battery life thing, the only ones I know of are aospmod, and cognition.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thecellx:
Use Spaceman

By far, the best rom with captivate kernel is SpaceMan. Fast and bugs free.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] docflower:
right. thats the one i use now and have been for a while. i just like to try the different ones out there. spaceman is the shiz for sure tho.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wvumaniac79:
As long as whatever rom you want to use isnt based on i9000 (Might work but i've never tried) you can you use 7 zip to take the spaceman zimage and drop it in the rom before flashing
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] docflower:
hows the batt. life with the cogkernel? i notice a few are using it in combo with the aospmod
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wvumaniac79:
I've only been using it since yesterday lol, but it seems just as good as stock so far
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ATT Intruder:
I had that experience but found it was ROM specific... Check out the Assurance 2.0 ROM from MikeyMike... Great ROM fast smooth and stable, with Setiron.
[EVO 4G General] merkk:
Looked on google for this and found other people asking about it but no answer so far.

If i leave the screen brightness set to auto-adjust, the phone NEVER adjust the screen brightness down to it's lowest setting, even if i am sitting in a pitch dark room. Is there some way to adjust the range of the brightness setting so that it will actually use the lowest brightness? It seems beyond stupid that in a pitch dark room the screen doesn't go down to it's lowest level.

Most of the time i find the screen to be too bright, so if i could adjust the auto-brightness over-all to be darker, that would be cool too.

failing that, is there an app that makes adjusting the brightness quicker then digging down into the settings to move the slider?

thanks
[EVO 4G General] devnulldroid:
I use widgetsoid (free) from the market place to do what you speak of and 7 other things as well.
[EVO 4G General] merkk:
i think i already have something that does what it looks like widgetsoid does. I have a button on the screen that i can tap that switches the screen between 3 brightness settings. i was just wondering if there was one where you could tap and get a slider. Seems silly to have the actual slider itself on the screen since that would take up so much room. But a button that would open up into a slider would be nice.

I'd still prefer to be able to adjust the autobrightness settings and use that if possible.
[EVO 4G General] fachadick:
You can set autobrightness levels with tasker. There's a thread floating around with details.

Sent from my blah blah blah blah
[EVO 4G General] devnulldroid:
Again, Widgetsoid does this. Once it is setup, modify, settings/Brightness Modes and set it Custom (Seekbar) or use one of the other 2 settings. You can change those as well with custom. Exit. Go to toggle and you have slider with one click on one button, which option of adding 7 more.
[EVO 4G General] merkk:
ah ok, cool, thanks. I'm going to see if i can find the thread about tasker since i'd prefer to have auto-brightness working better. if that fails then i'll give widgetsoid a try.

thank you
[EVO 4G General] godgib:
Just what I was looking for Screen brightness less then 10% and Less then Curvefish's toggle to 4%. I was looking for the 1% brighness and I think i got with the Widgetsoid only compaint is no exit after setting... Thanks
[Galaxy Tab General] desairs:
I currently have Sprint service and I want to get a Galaxy Tab. The main thing is that I am not going to get data through any carrier so which Tab would be the best as far as development and hacking goes?
[Galaxy Tab General] martin0641:
The European version I imagine. They cost more, but I think it's as close to a "Samsung Experience" device you are going to get. Updates come a lot faster as well.

If you don't care about wireless internet though, the tabs are all the same as far as i can tell once you root and flash them with the Samsung Firmware. All the fuss on the forum seems to be about getting 3G and Phone abilities back from the gimped US versions.

If you don't need 3G, have you looked at the Viewsonic G - it has a Tegra 2 and is 10". Also, the 10" SAMOLED Galaxy Tab is slated for Q1 2011. This is where our trip to Nerdhalla begins, the tablets are invading...
[Galaxy Tab General] desairs:
Okay well I guess I might wait. Can the Viewsonic play 720p .mkv files? Also how is the modding on it?
[Galaxy Tab General] steb0ne:
I bought the Sprint version from Radio Shack for $350 with the $30 2gb data plan...and if I don't see any use for paying the data plan fees...the ETA +$200 puts my purchase at $550 ($100 cheaper than the ATT version) :D
[Galaxy Tab General] martin0641:
This stuff is really all too new to speculate, but the Tegra 2 is powerful. I would suggest just going and trying one out. Also, VPlayer plays nearly anything.

Getting any device right when it comes out is risky, because the devs don't know all the kinks yet. The problem with waiting is that you are always close to something new being released. I guess it really depends on wether you want to tinker with it as a hobby or have a stable useable device. I keep 2 Androids on hand for that reason.
[Galaxy Tab General] STi489:
The viewsonic g tab might have better cpu but the screen sux.

jav... nice work! tried to catch you in IRC, but you left b4 I got a chance to talk to you about this...

Not sure if this was designed this way, but wanted to let you know either way... it's kinda that way in Google Voice as well... Great job tho... :D
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] javroch:
I kind of did that on purpose, but I've been toying with making them more prominent a bit. You might see the look get updated in the near future. I'm glad you like my work though and appreciate the constructive criticism.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ljbaumer:
Niiiiiiccceeeee!!! Did you use the black modded apps package to make twitter and facebook black?

I really like the theme, it looks great. I also love dark/minimalist themes. The only thing i don't like about is it is that the battery indicator looks a bit too bright/happy for the theme.... Maybe a grey indicator in the status bar would work better or maybe a blue or purple one. Just a suggestion. Other than that it looks great.

Nice work ;),

ljbaumer
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] javroch:
Nope. Everything about this theme, aside from the default wallpaper, I made myself.

I've actually been trying to remove almost all color, or at least that's the end goal.... except for green. I wanted to let the Android green stay. I also happen to think it looks good with the black and gray, brings just a slight amount of color. So, unfortunately, I don't intend on changing the battery indicator. Maybe I could provide a grayscale option as a flashable update.zip style installer package at a later date though if I get time.

I'm glad you like what I've got together so far. It's really far from done yet, I plan on more deeply theming a lot of the other apk's, like facebook and twitter that you mentioned, so that they're more black just like the Gmail/Gtalk apps are already.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] one.:
Perhaps I'm missing something....

since swype apparently was not included w/ 2.2.2, I downloaded the swype apk, but even after reinstalling the theme, I still get the default swype keyboard.

Other than that I'm a big fan, nice work!
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] javroch:
The direction s on the original post should state where to find everything. I don't install swype automatically as not everyone has it installed/uses it. Check /sdcard/BlackOut for a D2_Swype.zip and flash it from recovery.

Afaik, it works perfectly. I know a bunch of people who're using it.

Please try and remember to always read the first post from start to finish before reporting "bugs". I'm glad you like my work.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] inssane:
Sweet theme, in the 5 minutes I have looked at it and tried it. No themed FB and Twitter widget though? Something I am missing?
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] Thornfulless Rose:
Same here. Neither of them are themed. Stock and LauncherPro.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] javroch:
In Dominican, but sae your posts. Check /sdcard/BlackOut after theme install for the apks as stated in the thread
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] piffey:
Hey jav, love this theme. Was wondering if you were going to update for 2.3+ before I installed 2.3. Black Out is where it's at!
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] javroch:

[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] inssane:
I was looking for a zip file with CW recovery, and it won't show apks.

[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] blustosa:
I have been using this theme for a while, LOVE IT. my background fades into black so the effect is absolutely great. Thanks a ton.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] javroch:
It sounds like you're doing something wrong. You don't install apk's in recovery. Can you describe for me the exact steps you're trying to take to install these? Nobody else has reported any issues on DX or D2, so I highly doubt it has anything to do with the apk's themselves, but I could be wrong.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] unrulyschoolboy:
Best theme out there, any chance we will be seeing Gmail 2.3.2 in all black? Also a blacked out version of market would be pretty cool. Looking forward to the 2.3 drop when it comes out!
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] inssane:
I install via Root Explorer in R/W

Have done it a bunch in the past
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] javroch:
Everything should be updated hopefully this weekend to work with 2.3, including hopefully the new Gmail. I've been hearing there's already a Fission 2.3.1, so I might just jump over 2.3 to that, but either way, the theme will be getting updated and development continues.

I'm not really sure what you're doing in Root Explorer. All you have to do is open up the included "Files" file manager and click on the *.apk file that you want to install from /sdcard/BlackOut. It'll prompt you if you want to install it and you click ok. Afaik, you're the only one that's been having issues getting these .apk's installed. Try it the way I just described and report back, if possible. It's really the simplest / only way I ever install *.apk's and I've never had issue.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] inssane:
Root Explorer IS a file manager.

It didn't work your way either.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] javroch:
I'm not sure what else to tell you. I don't have a D2 but nobody else has reported any such issue. What error/etc are you getting? I don't really have much to go off of right now without some more information as to what specifically is happening.

Anybody else experiencing this issue?
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] javroch:
Posted a new version supporting 2.3.1 and including a few market app updates as well as theming of Launcher2. Smaller tweaks throughout as well. Enjoy
