You cannot use Wireless tether from the market as it uses Ad Hoc not Infrastructure (PS3 needs Infrastructure). The PS3 and Xbox consoles actually use an extremely small amount of bandwidth.

Now to your question I would reboot before tethering and make sure you use Fissions ROM or basically any ROM that cuts down on blur since blur draws a lot of data at random intervals. Also dial *228 and do option 2 to optimize your network.

Finally, if you live in a city there may be a lot of people using the same tower which could slow your speeds drastically.
[Droid 2 General] UrbanBounca:
That's not true as of the latest version. I downloaded the new version from the Market last night and it forced infrastructure mode.
[Droid 2 General] miketoasty:
Great find! Didn't know they finally added it!
[Droid 2 General] phillybizzle:
can ya link to the latest version please?
[Droid 2 General] miketoasty:
Its in the market just search Wireless Tether, its the first one.
[Droid 2 General] UrbanBounca:
My PC doesn't work well with my phone in infrastructure mode, so I believe I'm one of the few that don't like it. There is also no option to change it back to ad-hoc, either.
[Droid 2 General] miketoasty:
Try using barnacle tether. Same thing (your phone is a wireless hotspot) but should use ad hoc.
[Droid 2 General] ljbaumer:
don't use access control on either of them because there is some kernel problem on the DROID2 and it dosen't allow access control or something so if you try to use it, it probably won't work or it will be super slow. Should be fine without AC though.
[XPERIA X10 General] xdadevelopers1222:
The X10 will reach its end-of-life with AT&T on 3/6/11. Android Central has an article on this information.

With that news, I find it hard to believe that AT&T will release any X10 updates from Sony Ericsson. They'll probably just keep its users on 1.6 and be done with it.

XDA is the only hope for U.S. X10 owners!
[XPERIA X10 General] batman_112:
I doubt the accuracy of the article. The X10 was released to AT&T in August.
[XPERIA X10 General] xdadevelopers1222:
The article includes screen shots with dates shown.

If real enough, it's bye-bye X10 for AT&T.

Sucks.
[XPERIA X10 General] batman_112:
Well AT&T sucks more than SE. Not sure why they are delaying the 2.1 update for the handsets. Thank god I flashed the x10a world generic from here! :p
[XPERIA X10 General] Sighx:
LoL they totally fked over x10 in america. But don't worry.. rogers isn't doing much better. Except how they managed to get us 2.1. Which none of us even use.
[XPERIA X10 General] jimbo77:
I'm kind of suffering this issue I'm with Claro. Guatemala and they will never release even 2.1 update.. If I had stick with them I'll be in 1.6 forever.... They aren't gonna release 2.1 .... That's why I love Xda ....!!!! Because of the updates ...

Sent from my X10i
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
Could you link that article? I'm almost 100% sure they mean 3rd June and not 6th March... which is still a short period, but still better than March

Edit: Yup, looks to be true. March it is.
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
I was on the phone with AT&T for an hour today. I cant believe I am reading this after what she said. The good news is AT&T has now paid me the $75 rebate I got for "buying this phone".
[XPERIA X10 General] lightyear420:
Still doubt this?? :( I guess that's what happens when two companies who care as little about their customers as these two do team up...
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
If you like xda updates, then why don't you stop waiting on your lousy service provider and update yourself to 2.1 here on xda? The great part is once you update your phone, you won't have to worry about your cell phone company blocking you from future Xperia X10 updates anymore.

It is easy and safe to do. Just click on the link below, and follow the steps for X10i_2_0_A_0_504_GLOBAL (this version is rootable, if you decide to do so in the future)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=683793

Make sure you use Backup and Restore to backup your system and contacts to your sdcard before you start, and then restore your data when start up your 2.1 updated X10.
[XPERIA X10 General] jimbo77:
Thanks for you advice but i´ve done that already since mid November... :D i was just saying how dissapointing it is for this service providers to not give the proper updates to their customers....

Anyways thanks again...
[XPERIA X10 General] lightyear420:
I completely agree, man. I'm using AT&T, and I'm in the exact same situation as you are!! Even worse still, AT&T block users from installing apps not downloaded directly from the official market, giving us even more reason to ditch their crappy branded firmware and flash with global/world firmware.

It seems to me like these two companies should never have teamed up...they both seem to hate their customers more than any company I've ever seen in my life!!!
[XPERIA X10 General] That Guy Is Here:
I dont think AT&T is cutting the X10 just yet. Its too soon.
[XPERIA X10 General] JaredP:
I don't really mind if AT&T does axe the X10. I've debranded and rooted my X10, effectively removing myself from under AT&T's thumb. I think Android is going to get more love in the very near future though. If the Verizon iPhone is indeed announced on Jan 11, AT&T will experience such a mass exodus that they'll have to change their strategy. The loss of iPhone exclusivity will force AT&T to provide at least a semblance of support for its remaining customers. It would have to release the Arc and other Gingerbread phones to survive.
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
Um, shouldn't it read "November 2010"
[XPERIA X10 General] unknown13x:
There's a reason why it's being axed :) You'll find out why from the MWC 2011 press release :p Hopefully its good news to some of you...
[XPERIA X10 General] lightyear420:
lmao :p :D

My question is this:

What happens if I have to claim insurance?? Do I get a captivate?? I don't want a captivate, and that moto is a friggin' piece of dog ****!! I want an epic if I have to claim....it's the same price ;)

BTW, the Verizon iPhone announcement is tomorrow (1/11/11)....they just mentioned it on the news as I was typing this lol
[XPERIA X10 General] will.m:
Not this again...

Unless you're talking about ATT, or anyone for that matter, releasing 2.2+, its not really great news here. The only thing you could mean by this is one of the new models being subsidized by them.
[XPERIA X10 General] OCEP:
"Good news" meaning "it's time to move on"? Those kind of news?
[XPERIA X10 General] batman_112:
Are you talking Arc? ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] lightyear420:
I don't really see the hype about the arc....Compared to the x10 it's got moderately better hardware and a shiny new copy of 2.3....OoOoOoOoOoOo....LAAAAAME!!!! :p
[XPERIA X10 General] loneLEE:
Of course. It's a big deal to those who are changing phones after 2 years. Maybe not really a biggie for us X10 owners since we'll be using her till she dies off.

But come to think of it, if they really scrapped the idea of Mediascape, I'm not sure about getting an Xperia anymore after 2 years. After all, this is what made me choose her over Google Nexus One.

I'm a multimedia kinda guy.
[XPERIA X10 General] mcforrest1:
well that sucks if its true about 3-6-11. No more support, heck i just upgraded to the x10a beginning of december with a new 2 year contract, thinking i would get the support for the phone, so you mean after 4 months no more updates, so what does that mean as a contract standpoint?
[XPERIA X10 General] XERO_Racer:
Once lifecycle ends then no more updates.for the X10 meaning no chance of 2.1 and I believe that if you claim insurance replacement after that date of 3/6/11 then ure gonna get a different device and not X10
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
I'm in the same boat. I got my X10a in November and was told by ATT rep. it was updated to 2.1 already, which it wasn't. I don't know if you caught unknownX13's post about next MWC 2011 press release having some good news for regarding End of Life. I am taking that as AT&T may be deciding to end x10a life early and offer us some type of upgrade to the Xperia Arc, rather than updating to 2.1+. They have to have put themselves into a corner by not updating to 2.1, which was a condition of the sale.
[XPERIA X10 General] Rlee1862:
Help

Hi I'm new here

i just bought an X10 days ago and wouldn't you know it, I find out its being phased out soon. Well that's just great. I need someone's help to explain the process of using your updates to switch to 2.1...I click on the link but I am confused by the information shown to me then. I am not completely computer illiterate, but I need to be pointed in the right direction. I will donate for this service

thanks
[XPERIA X10 General] harrypalmero:
I don't recall getting the 2.1 update as being a condition of the at&t contract. I don't believe that they should provide an upgrade to the Arc just because of the delay. Im sure the entitlement generation would disagree with me. Don't get me wrong, it would be awesome but business doesn't work that way. Ill bet that at&t is waiting for the multitouch update to include in their 2.1 version and it will be released by the march. The rest of us have the wonderful xda developers to thank for helping us keep our phones on the cutting edge. With the announcement of

the Arc, the x10 faces the same fate as the x1, satio, etc. Just my 2 cents. I version love this phone by the way, in spite of its quirks.
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
I'm not part of the entitlement movement by any means. Upgrade 2.1 is writing in the specs and part of the sales pitch. Unless they put a disclaimer in writing, that implies that it is part of the sale. It could be considered false advertising or failure to deliver on a condition of the sale. Especially for my case. They cannot and have not claimed the update was malicious, so withholding it could appear to be unfair business practices, or bait and switch. They don't have a reason not to, so they would have a hard time winning a contract dispute. Would a lawsuit ever happen? Probably not enough people who care, but I don't believe it's their intention to just say NO.
[XPERIA X10 General] svtfmook:
first off, these posts are ridiculous.

secondly, go to att's site, the x10 is listed as having 1.6. not 2.1. the att trained monkeys were told that the device is capable of being upgraded to 2.1. att's personnel took that as having 2.1 in some cases. you purchased the device, regardless of what you were told by a salesman. if you are the type of person to get so bent out of shape over little things like a company not updating a device as much as other companies, than you should be the type of person to research the item you're considering purchasing PRIOR to purchasing it.

third, ATT is considering discontinuing the sales of the device. this does not mean that SE is not supporting it. i just don't understand why so many people here cannot distinguish the difference between ATT and SE.

finally, if you guys are so upset about the purchase you made, ebay the phone, use that money to cancel your contract with att, go to t-mobile, sprint or verizon, and start a new contract else where. you're not going to revolutionize the smartphone world by sending surveys complaining of no updates, posting multiple threads on the same topic on an internet forum or going as far fetched as thinking you're going to start a class action law suit lol we'll fight for you!
[XPERIA X10 General] Tony_C:
There are several basic ways to get new code loaded:

Change the country code to one that has the update and let SEUS update your phone

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=824711

Flash using the 2.1 flash tool, many choices of firmware

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=825201

update is suppose to be coming in a couple days

Install Xrecovery and use that method

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=859571

Each of the above have several variations within. I prefer Root Explorer for CDA, non-GUI for flash and apk for Xrecovery

If purchase is only a few days old, you may be in return window.

Finally had enough with SE's delays and excuses.

Retired my X10 to its original box in my closet and jumped ship to Samsung Focus with Windows Phone 7.

I'll be back, I'm sure, hopefully when SE decides to release update for USA.
[XPERIA X10 General] lightyear420:
If you're gonna use xrecovery, you may as well just go all he way to 2.2 lol...why stop at 2.1??? ;)

I did not find 2.2 that stable and camera not working. Run it from Xrecovery backup when just playing. The Quadrant score is great. Whish I could do the work these guys (devs) do.
[XPERIA X10 General] stan.s:
The truly interesting thing about the Android Central screen shots is that Every SE phone is being dropped around the same time. That and the fact that SE announced not a single carrier for the Arc but we've have rumors that O2 will have the Playstation phone, makes me think ATT still considers SE phones just low priced feature/fashion models, and they are not having a good relationship with SE.

ATT is going to want Cheap Phones with the high end models they already have announced at CES.
[XPERIA X10 General] unknown13x:
SE will prove your theory wrong at MWC 2011 :) Carrier will only carry models that will benefit them most.
[XPERIA X10 General] batman_112:
Is the Arc going to be one of them? ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
Thanks for posting this again. Seems some people didn't read the thread before deciding what subject matter is ridiculous.
[XPERIA X10 General] stan.s:
What will they prove wrong? That AT&T needs cheap fashionable phones to fill out their lineup? That SE is now less than LG, Moto, Samsung and Pantech in the AT&T 'go to' OEM list?

Will SE even have a 4G/3.5G phone that AT&T will allow on the HSPA+ network? AT&T doesn't even class the X10a as a 7.2mb capable HSPA phone. AT&T wants another Walkman phone that they can give away or sell for under $60 for parents who think the iPhone is too much for a kid.

SE used to make really capable phones, I can't even make or take a call in a noisy environment with my X10 without a headset and I am not a Borg. Even the fashion phones like the Z750i had front facing camera and could do video calls, and GPS. The AT&T version didn't have the extra camera, disabled the GPS for XM radio service, and had Mobile TV. it could even tether both as a modem and a transparent USB wireless device. My daughter's first phone was the W550 and it was a terrific first phone and the swivel hinge lasted a few years.

I'm so annoyed about the X10a update thing, since I have 2 X10a's that are contracted until Sept/Oct 2012 that I would not consider early replacement with any SE product. And I have had 4 other SE phones in the past in my plan since the original AT&T wireless prior to the spinoff and sale to Cingular and rename back to AT&T.
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
Since the 2011 MWC has come and gone with AT&T ending the life of the X10a without ever explaining why the United States did not get the Android 2.1 update, please sign this petition to make AT&T honor their word.

I really enjoyed the review and agreed with everything you said about it.

Great review though, I believe you hit the nail right on the head and look at how the tablet works in a real world situation rather than the "big" sites who are extremely focused on benchmarks.
