[XPERIA X10 General] augie7107:
The bash SE threads are justified.

Getting money back will never happen.

I live in the US and the phones here are still on 1.6 while the rest of the planet is receiving their second 2.1 update.

I only have 2.1 because I flashed it myself.

Staggering updates globally makes little sense.

Also, you can't hear the person on the other end of the conversation. Testing the "earpiece" in the service menu yields deafening results yet SE can't implement this over the course of four (R1, R2, 2.1-1, 2.1-2) updates.

The phone was $600 when I bought it in April and that price should represent a top end device.

There are many positives about the X10 and I do not regret purchasing one but I will not be infatuated with the Arc.

X1 should have gotten winmo 6.5 and it is a complete shame that whoever purchased an X2 got shafted. That device was so bug riddled that it was pulled form the market essentially after six months.

The X10 updates have been issued at a crawl (Nordic on 11/01/10 and US still has none on 1/7/11). The in-call volume is the worst ever for a phone. If the speaker plays loudly during testing how difficult can it be to code something to make it work during calls.

Now the new phone has been announced as a Q1 release (laughable) and that generally signals a halt to development on the existing flagship.

SE has learned lessons with their first foray into Android, but at their customers expense.

Financials will be released on 1/20/11. That is the bottom line for any business. I will be interested to analyze the numbers.
[XPERIA X10 General] Bawls11:
totally agree that how I see it!
[XPERIA X10 General] saltorio:
I support the devs. I have already contributed to them, and may do so more.

However, the 2.2 AOSP ROM won't get us apps2sd. That's something that needs to be included at the kernel level, which would mean Android 2.2 or higher from SE.

As I'm constantly fighting to keep some free space on my X10, apps2sd is the biggest feature of 2.2 I'm interested in. Hence my continued *****ing!
[XPERIA X10 General] Morbidx13:
i hate to correct a ranter but the fact some people dont have a 2.1 update is not SE's fault, they released the update, its the carriers who are to blame for this.

so if anyone is moaning and still stuck on 1.6 then call your carrier and complain, it is their fault and not SE's.

as for not getting a 2.2 update, who cares, as said we were promised a 2.1 update and we have that, they have said they will also provide updates to improve the phone from time to time.

the X10 is a great phone, yes it was bogged down with crap but its an android phone, if you dont like something, change it.

you dont even have to be rooted to stop many of the standard applications working, only have to be so to remove them.
[XPERIA X10 General] n4naveen:
I'm too with you. Then I think Apple is good for us!
[XPERIA X10 General] Bennachie:
Happy with 2.1

Don't want/need multi touch

DO WANT TO HEAR PEOPLE. SE! IT'S A PHONE.....................

allegedley.

Might try small claims court and not fit for purpose...............

Why they can't fix the volume amazes me........................
[XPERIA X10 General] Lord Takyon:
Small claims court? Lmao.

I'm as disappointed as the next man, but be realistic. You bought the phone on the assumption it would get these updates, as did I. We probably won't now but we still got a decent phone.

If you are that upset about it don't but another se unit.

You will get nowhere trying to prove it is not fit for purpose. It does what they say it can.
[XPERIA X10 General] a.monteiro:
Yeah, it's kinda weird/funny to read people crying about not getting 2.2 when they can install a Froyo beta right here at this same website.

But i do agree that SE excuses for not updating were quite lame.

A noob question: other companies released their bootloaders or they were cracked?
[XPERIA X10 General] augie7107:
I had 1.6 generic america and 2.1 has not been released yet for my CDA.

SE has not released the update for everyone.
[XPERIA X10 General] :
Sadly, all this bashing won't end soon.

People, LEARN to live with what you have, or get rid of it. So easy to do.

If you are "stuck" in a 2 years contract, there should be any solution, but nothing lasts forever.

If you think LG/Samsung/HTC are better brands, then go for them. It's your choice.

If you really need 2.2/2.3 then go for a phone that runs any of those.

If you won't ever buy a SE phone in your lifes, fine, but shut up and stop repeating it in every thread.

This is Xperia X10 General section, no Xperia X10 "hate/regret" section.

SE will NEVER give money back. That sounds ridiculous.

Now, can we start talking about REAL interesting things about X10, like MT driver, a new update, or a custom AOSP ROM?
[XPERIA X10 General] morox:
I hate SE

Well there are a lot of posts regarding SE for their upgrade policy, and a lot of post regarding people about their complaints.

Well i only want to say a pair of things about products, companies upgrades and terminals.

If i look to an old handset like HTC Magic, what i get is that is has MT and FROYO from it's company. And I think HTCMagic is way older than my X10i, and of course when magic users bought their handsets i doubt there were froyo updates promises... LOL....

On the other hand if SE is not going to update the handset and is not going to support it, well...open the bootloader so we can make a froyo SO from the source code...it would be very appreciated from the community, and this X10 bad rep, i am sure would gone away...but i am afraid that SE would NEVER do that.

that is why I BLAME SONY-ERICSSON.

And a little comment for those old dinosaurs. I have read some post saying that this ( x10 situation ) was quite normal during 90's....come on!! during 90's only the "selling" was the important and client fidelity was not looked for. Today each single company has a fidelity department...evolve people...evolve...

If SE wants fidelity...this is not the way, becouse i doubt any teenager with a SE would ever buy another SE handset in the near future....and the way is SE carring things it looks like that they do not to keep costumers satisfied...becouse X10 is not the only handset with those problems.... with AINO is also the same.... It is a pitty...but the real life..

I also repeat myself saying it is a pitty...becouse, when i first heard about SE to make an android handset, the CEO was interviewed and he said that they would like to have an android handset, but as they were symbian partners it would be difficult to explain to shareholders the fact of paying for something they also had. ( meaning paying for Android when they were symbian partners )

And i would appoint the first approach to android world has been a total disaster, may be not in sales numbers...but in future buy intention...

Buying a Desiree HD or a Samsung Galaxy S gives consumer more reliability on updates and support than any SE handset gives...

I finish my allegation by thanking SE very much, and letting me go to other company as i would never buy a SE handset again. I had T10, t18, t28, T610, K800i, W705, and now X10...bye.
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
FFS!!!!!

Finally.. i have been saying this since the day i got my X10..

The x10 is a overpriced nightmarish failure as a phone, it's not good at doing anything. i have one of the dud's that overheat and suffer constantly.

it's not good at anything.. "even the constant auto focus on mine never works at all"

it's complete **** and SE should be made aware that ppl are pissed.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] SplicedX:
im looking for this android png. can anyone help me out. I cant stand the grey blank guy for the incoming calls. thanks for any help.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] DRTMI:
I believe that would be ic_contact_picture.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] faber78:
cant remember where i saw that, gonna drive me crazy. was it in one of the kangerade themes?

i think maybe the ic picture unkown in phone on kangerade blue and others has something like those, well drawn pics.

maybe try them?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] sunder74:
Yup there's actually 4 incall/call images in phone/res/drawable-hdpi or hdpi-finger.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] faber78:
guess i misunderstood his question. i thought he wanted to know where that specific design png is, not the location of any png that goes there; but that specific picture from whatever theme....as it is a fancier looking one then most themes come with.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] sunder74:
Oooh maybe he was I misread...you can get that image from an hatch phone apk also....
[Droid X Themes and Apps] ncdub:
Im pretty sure thays the one used in DarkSlide.... could be wrong tho.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] mlclm:
I found these three from here, but they're not waving. Do you know what kind of phone that shot was taken on?

Also, they're not from DarkSlide, unless there's another spot that these icons would be stored (other than framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi).
[Droid X Themes and Apps] zwade01:
Looks like an htc sense phone. That was on my eris and I believe the evo has it too. Just dl a sense rom from the evo forum and grab it from there ;)
[Droid X Themes and Apps] SplicedX:
Thanks for the help everyone! I appreciate the feedback.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Explodee:
Here ya go!

(It's from the incredible btw)

Make 2 copies of this picture and name one ic_pane_unknown_caller and the other picture_unknown and drop them into /res/drawable-hdpi of BlurPhone.apk and you should be good to go after flashing.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] SplicedX:
Explodee,

thank you! i looked through 4 or 5 Incredible ROMS and could not find it. you're awesome! thank you again!
[Droid X Themes and Apps] mlclm:
Ah, very nice. What was it from?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Explodee:
Pretty sure its from the stock rom actually. I forget where I got it but my roommate who has an incredible (and refuses to let me hack it) is where I remembered it from. And I use it cuz I hate that gray guy too.

Did anyone try Live view(TM) app by SE on LG P500 ?
[Windows Phone 7 General] L337Ware:
I decided to share this commentary here from my WP7 fansite http://www.L337ware.com because I wanted to see how you all felt about the subject and honestly my site doesn't get alot of traffic being a homegrown effort.

"First off I have to admit I may be a victim of my own self imposed hype. Now that I got that out of the way I can’t help being a little bit dissapointed at the Windows Phone 7 news coming out of CES 2011. For example where is the promise of new blockbuster applications such as Pandora, Skype, Hulu, and many more key fixtures available of other platforms? How bout some cool new phones to compete with the flood of amazing Android powered hardware on the way? Maybe some new XBox live features like voice support? Instead we get the somewhat creepy rantings from the queen of the butterfly cult and a lackluster list of future game titles. I don’t really need it to justify my purchase but while Microsoft was all over Kinect sales numbers they seem to shy away from talking about the market performance of their now heavily discounted Windows Phones. Honestly most people are well aware of the features of the more immediate update but talking more about the plans for the later half of the year would have giving early adopters quite a bit of comfort. I’m a pretty avid fan of Microsoft and their products but even I can’t help feeling slightly underwhelmed. While I know Microsoft is in this for the long haul and have seen many times how quickly they can refocus a brand to please it’s users I have to say that CES 2011 is not really get me excited for Windows Phone 7."

If I'm at a strip club, I need tit to justify my purchase
[Windows Phone 7 General] rockstarar:
i like your site! if i can remember , i'll read it! :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] L337Ware:
Thank you so much for catching the random tit. Now that we all know what thoughts I'm surpressing while i'm on the internet we can carry on with our evening. ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] c_legaspi:
good thing i didnt jump on the wp7 at first site. i rather had wait to see how the developers would or would not embrace it. also the current phones seem to be outdated after reading the new android phones show cased at ces. the dell venue pro did peak my interest for its portrait slider and large screen but i wanted a front facing camera also. guess ill have to keep waiting for the next best thing

yes no new news for wp7 at ces was dissapointing. they did seem to avoid talking about their phones
[Windows Phone 7 General] L337Ware:
Honestly passed the geek **** fight that occurs when we start talking about our toys the Windows Phone has been a great experience so while I won't try to change your mind I will say it's been one of the most comfortable platforms I've used for a mobile device in my lifetime. I have no regrets from picking it up over iOS or Android but like a greedy child I want more and I want it from Microsoft yesterday.
[Windows Phone 7 General] DavidinCT:
ok, LMFAO...heh

That was good...anyway back on topic..

As quoted here....

Maybe we are waiting for the Mobile World Congress starting on February 14th for new models to hit ?

Another site for my favs...I'll read it as long as it's updated
[Windows Phone 7 General] Reflexx1:
Nice site. If you need any casual contributers, give me a holler.
[Windows Phone 7 General] L337Ware:
I may definately take you up on that. It's a bit daunting doing all of this by myself and the few Android users I have now as casual contributors act like they will get struck with lightening if they post anything productive on the site.
[Windows Phone 7 General] slighmd:
sad but true :( they need to pick up the pace and satisfy us, their community and costumers. Both the iOS and Android, their competitors, are growing really fast, adding a lot more for our beloved WP7 to catch up with
[Windows Phone 7 General] hassler:
heh

now that I've cooled down from the shock :) I can say that most of us put too much of expectation into yesterday announcement, and when it not satisfy our needs most of us (like me) felt like being cheated or thrown out :)

as for the new models, I just really don't think that it would make difference, since what we want is the change in software, not a 4.5" with Tigra and half-day battery to go along with it :p
[Windows Phone 7 General] zukа:
i really like the l337ware site, definitely one for the bookmarks
[Windows Phone 7 General] DavidinCT:
Says who ??? Out of all the specs of ALL the WP7 phones, nothing is like WOW. Really, everything on every model has been done already by another maker or platform. I don't think anyone wants a 4.5" display, unless it's a tablet, it does not fit in the pocket too well. MS needs a show stopper, a really HOT WP7 phones, they don't have one. There is nice phones don't get me wrong but, no WOW phones.

I can honestly say CES had some Android phones that were faster and nicer displays, still not WOW but, a very strong Hmmmm. If they were WP7 models, I might get a happy about them.

Still dreaming for a Verizon WP7 phone...and not the Trophy
[Windows Phone 7 General] zukа:
Agreed. Wp7 still doesn't have a superphone that can compete with you-know-iWho.
[Windows Phone 7 General] truffle1234:
i am not sure what ppl were hoping from the CES and microsoft, WP7 was just launched in Oct 2010 and we are still waiting for the first update... adding on new things to the OS before the update will be not a wise thing to do...

come on guys this is CES not Mobile world Forum, and i hope some of you were not hoping for more hardware to be launched 3 months after the initial launch of the OS and 6 devices..

i was only hoping for the update date or week only... any way MS was tight liped with the WP7 and i think they will be tight liped for the update as well...
[Windows Phone 7 General] efjay:
Here's a bit more info extracted by mobilitydigest:

[Windows Phone 7 General] adesonic:
The indecision on the Skydrive stuff is beginning to p*ss me off.
[Windows Phone 7 General] makoute:
Well I have to say, that it's probably better off to wait for the MWC in February for phone news, I will wait for that to see whether I should wait for some decent spec'd wp7 devices, or just jump on the android ship.
[Windows Phone 7 General] leonard2010:
WP7 is impressive OS but there is no killer WP7 device on the market. Dell Venur pro is one worth buying but I don't like its portrait keyboard. I'll wait for Nokia WP7 phone later this year.
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
Well me too.....
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Look at the Motorola ATRIX that's coming to AT&T. You're a bit wrong about many things. Different phones are different. This motorola is coming with a 1930 mAh battery - ~29% bigger than the 1500 mAh batteries in i.e. Samsung Focus/Galaxy S phones.

It also has a ~4" screen and a dual core with fingerprint recognition and 1GB RAM.

16GB internal storage and SD Card Slot.

Microsoft needed someone to release a decent phone to compete with these phones that are coming out.

They will lose out on a ton of sales just like they did with WP7 launch, when they launched the OS after 10 Android Superphones had soaked up most of the new purchases and contract renewals.

We all know the i5 will come later and by the time they get Mango out RIM maybe releasing Dual Core blackberry smartphones, which will cockblock them in the corporate sector.
[Windows Phone 7 General] makoute:
I truly don't see that happening. Although with blackberry being business centric they pretty much have to update their processors for faster internet speed.
[Windows Phone 7 General] iwantnokia:
they fool all of yours... not me... I won't believe what their promised.... muahahha.... don't expecting too much from Microsoft ...
[Windows Phone 7 General] domineus:
getting back on topic

I initially thought CES was a waste for not xbox. However, let's be realistic, MWC is where we always get the details from Microsoft that we desire. I mean adding support for next gen qualcomm processors is a good thing (and that's 2 chips not just the chip running in the g2) by no do

So I think manufacturers will make platforms based on future implementation eventually. I guess I should consider what CES is - a giant commercial. While I hate the perky girl and prefer Belifore, maybe we will get him in March
[Windows Phone 7 General] DavidinCT:
It's not Microsoft we are waiting for, unless your talking about a 7.1 upgrade (copy and paste).

It's the OEMS or carriers. Microsoft only makes the software
[Windows Phone 7 General] canadariot2312:
I would have to admit that it really stepped up in terms of battery life. Wish more phones had bigger batteries.

The dual core is honestly not that impressive. I saw a video of a hands on with the Atrix and I can conclude two things

1. Motoblur hinders the performance by a WHOLE lot or

2. Android is not ready for dual core just yet and

3. Why isn't it running Gingerbread?!

Back on topic, I don't think Microsoft planned anything big for CES. Most of the best devices are usually announced at an event dedicated to a company anyways.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
The software is pre-release and it has the same skin as droid x. Hardly intrusive. Doubt the software is really optimized yet.

Also it has a 960*540 display.

Moto is good about updating their flagships. I wouldn't worry about ginger, which i'm sure this phone predates, which explains the froyo.
[Windows Phone 7 General] canadariot2312:
The Droid X doesn't use big colorful bubbles on it. Than again, I am sure that that skin is exclusive to Verizon.

I don't doubt Motorola's ability to update their phones (obvious they are better than some companies, not going to list any names), it is AT&T that I am worried about.
[Windows Phone 7 General] CreepinJesus:
The title image is messed on IE9 beta. Methinks there's a CSS trick for IE but it's not distinguishing between older versions and version 9 (it works fine in compatibility mode, you see). I don't know if you're 'in charge' of the development side or not, so... just saying :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] L337Ware:
Sigh

Please don't get me started on coding around IE or the issue I have with that Beta. I don't want to burn you guys using the Beta so I will talk to the wife about adding some IE9 compatibility..... Forgive me for the time being and look at how nice it looks on your phone. ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] OGCF:
I wasn't expecting much info about WP7 because the launch was just so recent, but I was disappointed that no Verizon/Sprint WP7 phones were even announced. I would've been content with a render or a hand-built prototype, but instead we got zero information and I'm a little worried about that. Especially because there is no other substantial venue where Microsoft could announce them--the only thing soon is MWC but that's an international event so it seems unlikely they would announce anything U.S. carrier-related.

Besides that, I'm not disappointed with WP7 at CES because I wasn't expecting much. However I am starting to get a little worried. Every single new phone announced by a carrier ran Android AND supported 4G, and I'm starting to get worried that Microsoft is going to end up burning its adopting customers by announced a second wave of handsets that blow away the first gen by huge differences. I'm even more worried that, by MS staying competitive and being forced to make such powerful high-end hardware, WP7 will start to fragment a lot sooner than we expected. Once MS ups the minimum specs for each chassis, there could be some serious issues with app compatibility--especially games.

I doubt any of this will happen before Fall this year, but it does have me starting to feel a little buyer's remorse. But hey, I guess that's the risk of today's gadget world.
[Windows Phone 7 General] rockstarar:
ikr?! i at least wantedsome announced.
[Windows Phone 7 General] L337Ware:
Well...

Lets just hope the MWC (Mobile World Conference) is a bit more exciting for Windows Phone 7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
WP7 is supposed to be about the OS not the hardware. The hardware is fine, plenty powerful for WP7. But the OS needs much more attention. Give it plenty of features and it will grow, regardless of what specs it has.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Ehy would you not expect this when tje launch phones were already released with pretty old hardware, namely the SoC.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Launch hardware is fine because the OS is unfinished. When they I.troduce things like multitasking and open up more APIs the hardware will.respond differently.

Right now it's like rinning Windows 98 on a PIII, with Vista being the next upgrade.

They will need better hardware - soon, and especially for Mango. Expect to upgrade your phone in a year,.cause I expect launch devices to regress in performance similar to i3GS devices when they got iOS4.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
I wasn't expecting all that. Has skype even climbed on board. Last I heard before wp7 launched, they had no plans to make an app.

What were you expecting 3 months after world launch?

How could sprint/verizon release a wp7 phone when cdma support is in the feb update that isn't hitting carriers until january?
[Windows Phone 7 General] cyclical:
I am growing bored of waiting for WP7 devices to hit Sprint... I have 2 account upgrades available with them and am waiting to see if I want to go Android or give WP7 a try.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
If the IPhone launches tomorrow, it will eat up a ton of new contracts. Not helping WP7 at all to delay CDMA support.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Omega Ra:
agreed. I am considering jumping ship to AT&T to get a windows phone, as Verizon seems to be dragging their feet with announcing when one is coming (I know they have to wait on the new update)
[Windows Phone 7 General] Reflexx1:
I definitely agree with that.

I think we'll also see it severely eat back into Android market share in the US.
