[XPERIA X10 General] 1Learning:
Cool. Thanks. That would be great. What widget if you don't mind me asking? I know that when I go into the secret menu, the phone info just says X10a now and nothing else. I remember it used to say several things...

I was able to pull the APN info automatically though. In the settings menu, at the very top, there is a Sony Ericsson field. If you press it, it'll go into an option field which you can press to automatically download your APN settings, it'll then automatically download the info from your network. After it downloads the info, you select which one is your carrier and it goes from there. AT&T has 2 settings it downloaded - one for internet and one for MMS (the old APN settings was just one that integrated both); after selection it was fine. Were you using the Mexican build or the Brazilian one at the time? Are they both considered "global generic?"

I thought it didn't matter regarding the 3G and H since the phone would automatically adjust depending on the network (since the radio antenna is hardware specific so it's only adjusted to pick up certain frequencies? I also thought H was faster anyway?)? For example, when I'm not using the browser, it defaults to 3G (I do have background synch services running) but if I'm using the browser, it changes to H. I haven't noticed any real lags or anything but I haven't run any of the speedtests either so subjectively, it feels the same to me. AT&T might actually have 3.5G (H) network up and running but wanted to limit the bandwidth to only 3G which is why the AT&T ROM branded phones only had 3G. Remember they also turned off the option to disable 3G - so they wanted its customers to use as much bandwidth as possible yet not give us the best bandwidth...

Has anyone else seen this apk btw and played around with it? Interesting thing that might be related - I don't know if it's b/c the network was simply busy or what, but after upgrading and rooting, I hadn't made any phone calls but had been texting and surfing, etc. So I thought everything was fine. I played with bluetooth, gps, and everything worked. So earlier someone tried calling me but the call didn't go through and it went into voicemail, i.e. I didn't even receive a notification that someone was calling. She then sent a text. I called back. That went through, then she tried calling again (since I wanted to check it out) and this call went through. So I don't know if this apk might be related to that - it could be that it would automatically broadcast your cell info to the carrier but I don't know why it would affect calls since I was able to text without any problems, surf, etc.; alternatively this might be totally unrelated and simply network was busy.

Btw, do you think it would be easier to just edit the regional variant as opposed to flashing to a different ROM? I forgot the specific thread but there was a thread that detailed how to simply edit your regional variant after you rooted the phone or something w/o having to reflash or something like that. Since it seems that voice search might already be installed, albeit an older version than batman_112's, with the way the phone loads up - it definitely shows the mic before the magnifying glass overlays it which would seem to imply that it is already there just hiding... This is partially intellectual curiosity since if batman_112's is more recent and it works, might as well use it but wondering if all the X10's have the voice search installed then it's disabled automatically if it's not the US variant?
