[XPERIA X10 General] Bwyan Benton:
But i am happy with my phone....just be because i rooted, installed jit and all the others doesnt mean im not happy. It doesnt matter what phone i have...if i can do something to make it even better then i sure as hell will. If these options werent available for the x10 id still be happy with the phone....which is exactly why i sold the galaxy s captivate to have the X10 back! Because i love my x10 regardless of what android version im running....well except 1.6 lol. Im perfectly happy with 2.1.
[XPERIA X10 General] Timbits93:
Now if only we had native support for tethering or wi-fi hotspot [don't want ad-hoc hotspot] and flash support - the 2 important things i want which seems like it could be kernel based.

Although SEs customization is not the best even with JIT, it's livable.

I'm a mixed customer, will i be going back to SE? Who knows, but most likely it'll be one of my only choices when i do a HUP.
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
If having the latest Android OS is your number one priority, you'll probably never find it with SE. They get it second hand, and fitting it into their hardware. I know what I liked about this device when I got it was everything but the OS, like the 8 mega pixel camera and the 1GHz processor. The OS was blatently outdated, but we bought the phone anyways. You have to figure in the additional development expense for every Android update. SE isn't in the OS game with the Xperia, they are in the hardware game, and HTC has the luxury of being the hardware for which Android OS is developed, and Samsung seems to be in the middle.
[XPERIA X10 General] Maverick_G:
I would suggest you guys to switch to FreeX10 Beta2 by zdzihu.. It is very stable (2 reboots a day appr.).. Most of the things are working and is SMOOTH as hell.. Dont expect Android 2.2 from SE (they have made it clear, no android version upgrade), it will be like expecting a donkey to give birth a lion.. :P
[XPERIA X10 General] sardelich:
for me that is 2 reboots too much.as much as I would love to have 2.2 or 2.3 I just need my phone to work,on the move 24/7.So for now I have to stick to the OEM rom,but I give all thumbs up for the developers :)
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
I tried it for 2 days and never had a single reboot. But stock android is too ugly for me and I missed Timescape so I'm back with SE 2.1 now
[XPERIA X10 General] holland6045:
In case you didnt notice there are numerous themes released for fx10 2.2

and i agree its really stable. I have been using it for days now and i havent even had a force close once...thats better than my experience with the stock rom.
[XPERIA X10 General] Meraklis56:
is there any feature missing?

wifi,camera,videos etc?

Any other problem?

[XPERIA X10 General] saltorio:
Video recording is pretty much the only missing feature right now, and that's in the works.

FreeX10 beta 3 is much more stable than beta 2 was. So far, I haven't had a single reboot, and only one FC iirc.
[XPERIA X10 General] Timbits93:
I knew what i was getting myself into when i go the X10, there wasn't much choice at my carrier and still isn't now. It's more of the 8 MP Camera w/ LED Flash that works as a photo light and not a flash and the hardware that is why i got it.

I know it doesn't have the latest OS, having it would be a huge bonus due to the improvements in speed it'd do. However tethering is turning into more of a priority for me, as a wi-fi hotspot, i'd want native tethering and not ad-hoc based tethering which is entirely kernel based.

Neither can i get an HTC device from my own carrier if i want a subsidized handset, because the latest device they have is the Magic+ and due to 911 issues those phones had, my carrier is staying away from those devices which is a shame.

Least this time round SE will already have the latest OS loaded onto the phone.
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
Yup, but I was running beta 2, which didn't have the wifi fix and it nearly drove me crazy. Plus at that time there weren't any themes yet.

I'm just going to wait for the final version to come out before I flash it again. Stock SE is not too bad actually. Other than the occasional lag here and there, and ofcourse battery life is almost doubled with the SE ROM
[XPERIA X10 General] Bwyan Benton:
+1

Im not flashing any 2.2 rom until i see people reporting no bugs and all is well. My stock 2.1 is running so damn smooth right now i wouldnt want to mess it up. Plus for me...already having a taste of froyo on my old nexus one didnt offer me anything exciting over 2.1. With JIT v2, xrecovery, xfx10 theme, i couldnt honestly ask for more out of my X10....im extremely satisfied.
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
Well there's just the tiny things here and there that you miss... chrome2phone for example was so useful for the 2 days that I had it :p

Also google listen used to show up right on the lockscreen if I locked the phone while listening to something

Patchy, do you think Rogers will let you upgrade to the arc :p I really want it but I'm just 7 months into a 3 year contract :(
[XPERIA X10 General] Bwyan Benton:
No they wont...because i just used my hardware upgrade and got a galaxy captivate (and regreted it) because i ended up selling to get my x10 back. So, im gonna have to purchase it outright when we get it just like i did with the samsung focus. And being 7 months into a 3 year contract with rogers you can forget it...they only let you upgrade smartphones every 2 years. Sell your x10...save money and buy it outright like me :)

You can still try tho...i mean the worst they can say is no....not like your gonna go to jail for asking lol
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
So did you buy your X10 outright then? How were you eligible for a hardware upgrade so soon?

(maybe i should stop hijacking this thread :p)
[XPERIA X10 General] Bwyan Benton:
I sold my nexus one that i bought outright from google to get the x10 for the first time...then when i was actually due a hardware upgrade i got the galaxy then sold that and bought the x10 back...then a week later i bought the samsung focus outright because im also inlove with wp7 lol. I buy and sell alot man...but my x10 has been my favorite...i cant let it go lol
[XPERIA X10 General] MrLeche:
I'm gonna have to ask a quickie.

I was about to to buy an X10 then but instead bought an HD7. I am planning to get the X10 now though for my wife.

The thing is. HD7 on WP7 is super fast. Its so fast that it makes other fast phones Not so fast! :p

Is it the hardware plus wp7 combined on hd7 that makes it fast? Versus the hardware plus Android combined on X10 that make it laggy?

I asked that coz the sales man demoed me 3 phones, HD7, X10 and and galaxy tab (for android comparison) and the Tab is smoother than X10 navi-wise.

Thanks
[XPERIA X10 General] Bwyan Benton:
I have a samsung focus and a X10. I dont really find my X10 laggy at all...especially running FreeX10 beta 4. But compared to my samsung focus....well it doesnt compare. WP7 blows android away when it comes to being sooooo fluid. Im guessing its the multi tasking, widgets etc etc on android that slow it down. Im just waiting for WP7 to announce something with a great camera like the X10 or better...then ill be WP7 user from then on. In the meantime, im also gonna purchase the Arc when available in Canada, so maybe that might change my mind about WP7??? I doubt it tho.
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
Duuude you have too much money
[XPERIA X10 General] MrLeche:
Yeah... Looks like you neeeever will have problems. :D

The salesman who demoed the HD7 to me had their SE engineering meeting and he got a chance to hold the Arc as he call it a beta phone. They always get to have it first but it's said to be different as the production phone. And actually told me that it still lags on navigation. hm, I dunno if I'm right that I used the word LAGGY, it's just that it's kinda unsmooth I guess but it doesn't make the phones categorized as "slow".

And yeah, I bought the HD7 since it is very fluid. I really hope the 2.2 will at least be decent on X10.
[XPERIA X10 General] ooidort:
I hate to bring this up all the time, but probably the biggest cause for the "lag" and the lack of "fluidity" is the FPS cap. EVO 4G users were having the exact same issues with the "lag" when their 2.2 update first went live. One OTA-update later they had a lot smoother and a lag-free phone.
[XPERIA X10 General] ceyhan359:
hi im from turkey.first message say "android 2.2 will come 2011 2.Q" but second message say "we are sorry.update not come for xperia x10 2.2"
[XPERIA X10 General] apawsey:
Life with the x10 will just have to be with 2.1, and some crazy mods.
[XPERIA X10 General] SenfMeister:
which is a bit annoying
[XPERIA X10 General] MrLeche:
Yeah. man, you maybe right. But often times, people get back to roms that works best with their lifestyle. I experienced custom roms way back with alpine days, prophet days and etc.

Correct me if I'm wrong but whenever we get success flashing a custom rom to a device then suddenly look amazed by it and then after navigating and feel a bit lag, and wait to respond, and then wait again, and then hit the power off button, and sometimes, remove the battery while the phone hangs and is ON, we ought to think what the hell this doesn't make the cut. I'm gonna have to find another, and then after a while you switch back.
[XPERIA X10 General] Timbits93:
Just beat the HUP period like me, got an early HUP within 11 months and a few days from the Blackberry to the X10 back in August. Called back recently due to a few problems with the device [hardware issues (?)] and told me to call in at August to receive another HUP [exactly 12 months] instead of doing a warranty replacement. :D

Mind you i was speaking to Customer Care.
[XPERIA X10 General] kordiak:
will update the amount for Xperia version 2010th

Only what would help everyone to go to their blog and calls update on Android 2.2
[XPERIA X10 General] proyectomx:
It looks to me SE is saying there will not be any android release beyond 2.1 for 2010 products. That's in the link is posted in your comment.

I'm dissapointed with SE updates.
[XPERIA X10 General] lool123:
not happy for what i paid for :(
[XPERIA X10 General] Flo95:
They never said there will be something higher than 2.1.

Hi All,

Just wanted to jump in and confirm that we have NOT made any announcements concerning 2.2 on any current Android devices.

Any information will likely be first released here: http://blogs.sonyericsson.com/products/

I am investigating the email that was sent. If you have any followup questions, please ask, I will answer what I can.

Yay, non-denial denial. My favorite type! ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] naplesbill:
I think the term EOL is too broad. End of production (EOP) is what it seems the 1 year landmark is. To me atleast, EOL refers to an item that is no longer produced or supported. I could be wrong I suppose, but that is how it works with software.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_release_life_cycle
[XPERIA X10 General] pshdo:
SE have just added 2 more years to the life of our X10, as they just released it under a new name, the X10HD...;-)

So to correct, the eol will be nov. 2012 for the X10 handset...

Sent from my Commodore 64, with Dolphin Dos B-)
[XPERIA X10 General] aLPaSLaN07:
Well if there's nothing like that , SE should be more carefull about who they hire. They seem so confident and sure to me as they gave the exact date of the 2.2 update.. By the way , does that mean its impossible to have official 2.2 before (or after) that date?
[XPERIA X10 General] unknown13x:
So there u go! From a SE rep! and like i said, it doesn't seem likely for 2.2 for X10. 2.3 however, sounds more real, if that's what it would have said in the email, not 2.2. Though due to the near EOL of the X10, i doubt 2.3 will be available on it also. We'll have to depend on the devs here.

Rebranding does not necessarily mean an extension to EOL. It depends on whether SE has any models to substitute it, and they do for the X10. U think there's only Anzu and Zeus? Think again mate :)
[XPERIA X10 General] bongd:
Hey Jeff, tell your superiors to fix the god damn low in-call volume. I've had this phone for half a year now and I have hardly used it as a phone. Bull****!

Jeff, are you there?

Yet another poor volume complaint here!

SE support very poor, does not acknowledge the problem................

When pushed it is ' only affects a few so not a problem.

Fix the Volume!!!!!!!
[XPERIA X10 General] Jeff-SonyXperiaSupport:
We are well aware of this concern from MANY users. We've acknowledged it on our blog and it is something we are working on.

My team and I do the Facebook/Twitter thing for the most part. I don't think XDA needs anything from us 99.9% of the time ;). I just pop in when I see something I can clarify (like the original post here).
[XPERIA X10 General] neptun2:
Jeff why you do not tell us what are the plans for X10 and the whole current xperia android line regarding android updates? I am sure that at this time it is well known if x10 and x8 will receive another android upgrade (2.2 or 2.3) or not. Also we want to know if the 16 milion colors will be unlocked or not. Please tell us directly what x10 and x8 will and what will not get with updates so it is clear what to expect from these phones.
[XPERIA X10 General] CipryK:
Pure silence :P
[XPERIA X10 General] morox:
well all of us know that this kind of info is in the 99,99% of the time XDA do not need anything from Jeff's team....

I am really really D I S A P P O I N T E D with my...phone? can i call it this way? well!...as i am no richman i will have to conservate it as is my only phone....or whatever it is. By the way...the USB SOCKET is a very low quality one, and soldering points are ridicously bad soldered.... I have no phone right now, as my usb socket do no charge... honestly i am astonished.

Jeff have you seen Froyo-SD port for YOUR Xperia X10? have you tested it?? I DO encourage you to prove it, even if you need I also DO commit myself to be your personal tech support in this particular adventure...becouse it is really FAST.

I think it is quite flipante ( this is a spanish word that makes reference of what one can see after LSD is in one's body ) that a HTC port is faster than SE OWN developement for their own machine. And such things make me arise that if SE really have 1000 monkeys working on their starship product...or only one...and i am afraid that is only one, and is frustated becouse he do not understand why he, the monkey had developed Android 2,1 for X10, still have not got the promised banana....
[XPERIA X10 General] awojtas:
Guys, you're shooting the messenger.

I think it's positive that SE choose to engage, even briefly, here on XDA.

I bet you don't see Nokia logging into XDA to clarify something.

Good work SE - you clarified something a lot of people could've got excited about (2.2 upgrade) - and did it quickly and clearly, rather than letting there be confusion.
[XPERIA X10 General] slashfoo:
As awojtas said, don't shoot the messenger, Jeff, thanks for clarifying and for visiting.

Even if it would be nice to know, Jeff is probably under pressure from people wanting to know stuff that he's probably not allowed to tell, so guys... please, if you have any complaint, get it to SE the conventional way, through Customer Support, and welcome Jeff, don't discourage further visits.
[XPERIA X10 General] Tony_C:
I agree with you
[XPERIA X10 General] Bialynia:
Low earphone volume people, you have a hardware fault, get it fixed and stop spamming every freaking thread! My x10 is great have loved it from day one. [heads exploding]
[XPERIA X10 General] akila87:
Agree with you.
[XPERIA X10 General] bongd:
I use a cell phone in place of a land line because I am never at home. And I've never had to use my phone more in my life than in the last 6-7 months because I was getting married and had a huge Asian wedding to plan. It sucked not being able to actually use it as a phone. I had to text and email to communicate with anyone which was horrible because most people I had to phone didn't speak English as a first language as well!

I bought myself an Xperia X10 in April for my birthday and as a last gift to myself knowing how deep in the hole I'd be after all the expenses (we did a traditional Cambodian wedding and a "white wedding"). It was so embarrassing to pull out a sexy, expensive looking smart phone only to have it riddled with latency and missing key experiences like live wallpapers, Adobe Flash, and other services that were only available on Eclairé and up. Whenever people asked to see my awesome phone I was thoroughly disappointed when they handed it back like it was some first generation iPhone. It doesn't even function well as a phone. I was meeting up with coordinators and high class photographers (who've heard about the glorious camera) and was embarrassed after they told me how atrocious it was. Our photographer took pictures for my sisters-in-law as far as 10 years ago and he literally laughed out loud at how poor the camera functioned , which is only fair considering the amount of hype SE generated about it. It has a decent camera but the lack of flash and the poor low light photography sucks. The native app compresses pictures and the APIs are not available for third party programmers to offer a complete photography suite.

Thankfully 2.1 has finally come out and we have a fantastic home brew community. But I still have a gripe with the in call volume.. I can't use my damn phone as a phone. And I sure as hell can't afford one after my wedding. It made the down payment on my house or the purchase of my vehicle look like nothing. I thought I was purchasing the absolute best Android phone at the time, but I was very wrong. It's a great phone now but the low in-call volume is a huge, glaring flaw that is impossible to ignore. Even in an empty room I struggle and I have A1 hearing and have had multiple tests for an old job I had. I'm on my third exchange and sending this piece of crap back to my provider as well.

PLEASE DO SOMETHING!

/rant
[XPERIA X10 General] mith500:
It does have a problem...and people cant exchange or fix their phones without paying until SE admitting they have a problem....which they refuse to do!

@Jeff look at this review of the X10with 2.1 done yesterday, on page 4:

http://www.techradar.com/reviews/ph...y-ericsson-xperia-x10-679702/review?artc_pg=4

Quote from Article:

"Calling

The call quality on the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 was pretty abysmal in terms of volume – there were times when it was impossible to hear what the other person was saying if background noise was a little louder. Pushing the phone into the ear didn't really help either – if anything the angular shape of the chassis hurt a little bit."
[XPERIA X10 General] MJ_QaT:
So this thread turned from "X10 2.2 Update from Official Source" into yet another "in-call volume complaining time-waster thread"

cool :cool:

Hey after this let's complain about the 65k colour screen :rolleyes:
[XPERIA X10 General] Tjotte:
Agree, nothing wrong with my device!

I belive part of the problem can be the service providers using lower/weaker signal in their nets resulting in lower volume, also restricted to local laws about volume.
[XPERIA X10 General] lornova:
Absolutely agree! There's no "low volume bug", my in-call volume has always been quite good, so it is definitely either a hardware fault, or a false problem.
[XPERIA X10 General] Jeff-SonyXperiaSupport:

I think he protests to mutch, the official blogs on 2.1 on their official forums were veey few and far between, this chap is a con man waisting owr time, keep on the subjevt of the thread.
[XPERIA X10 General] bongd:
It's a completely legitimate concern. Almost every person who gets an Xperia X10 from Rogers has low in-call volume, both on this network and others. Perhaps it could be that all the phones going to Rogers are defective, I'm not sure. But I'm not pleased and I have every right to complain. You would too if yours didn't work!

There is a bug. Why would people all magically complain about the same thing if it didn't exist?

Cool. Because you decided to side skirt around the issue I wouldn't mind spamming you guys. If SE does not acknowledge this, expect a massive quantity of spam to every communication medium at SE. Thank you for your patience and understanding, Jeff. It is very much appreciated!
[XPERIA X10 General] sinkster:
I can see people having issues with the X10, personally I have none that any other android owners don't, or have not, had, with any phone. After the Nordic u/g and re-rooting I've got pretty much what I need or want with a smartphone just now, obviously with a little help from XDA, amongst others, but in reply to the comment re expected life of the phone other android phones(i.e. nexus1,G1 etc) are still being upgraded. If there is no u/g after 2.1 I would be looking,not definately, at a new phone. That's my 2p worth anyway
