[XPERIA X10 General] dante2086:
I can whine and complain all day about, how not getting froyo or gingerbread sucks.

But I'm really digging this dualtouch thinggy.

The implementation is not bad as people said it would be, it worked on every app i tried.

And when I think, that Sony Ericsson didn't have to do it, they just did, to make their customers feel a bit better about their device. They lose money, not gain, from releasing software updates, and unlike Nokia, Samsung, RIM, and Apple, u must realise that right now, Sony Ericsson doesn't really have money. Read Financials. So, X10 users should appreciate this, and, heck, they changed their minds about the MT thing, they might just do the same for Froyo or Gingerbread (Call it a hunch).
[XPERIA X10 General] caifanX10:
I just don't agree with your opinion about SE, but it's your point of view.

And is not multitouch, is dualtouch, wich is still good and if you say it works with most apps around, then worth it.
[XPERIA X10 General] a2ha:
lol, SE doesn't have money??? Do you think that they would be making another two fail phones ( PSP Phone and Xperia Arc ) if they didn't have the money?
[XPERIA X10 General] pshdo:
The costumers should NOT have to read financial repports on the companies before they decide what device they should buy...!!

IF I was S/E i would actually fight with every thing i got, to give the customers a feeling that I didn´t just want to screw them...

S/E is failing big on this, any X10 buyer with just a little tech sence absolutly have to feel that they have been ****ed by S/E...

Compare S/E with eg. HTC that deliver updates far beond what can be expected to the handsets...

S/E will not even support the X10 line for one year...
[XPERIA X10 General] caifanX10:
Quick question: After the statement that X10 won't get anything beyond Eclair, how many X10 unities would SE sell?

Just a question to those guys who are into financial estimates and stuff like that.
[XPERIA X10 General] MJ_QaT:
LOL you seem to ask a lot of questions my friend
[XPERIA X10 General] caifanX10:
Better than attacking and flamin', don't ya think? ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] nkolsen:
Im sorry, but how many HTC phones have got more than 1 major android update ?

And then how many android phones does HTC have on the marked contra SE.....

Im not rating im joyfull, but hey, you bought an android phone with an old android version to begin with. And SE have actually done what they promissed, plus alot more....
[XPERIA X10 General] MJ_QaT:
Yet ANOTHER question :p

Sony Ericsson ( or any company that's involved in Android ) will not care about their previous Handsets in terms of MAJOR updates, they will look forward and learn from the past, of course they will support the X10 if bugs were discovered later, but they have done what they have promised...
[XPERIA X10 General] caifanX10:
Yet

another

question :eek: :

What about Satio, Aino and Vivaz? are those phones already forgotten?
[XPERIA X10 General] MJ_QaT:
Those three phone were a mistake in my opinion, not because of their specs nor the hardware, but just because of the software ( symbian OS, UIQ )

They had a couple of more updates for them, but they cannot do more with symbian OS. But as far as I know they have fix major and minor bugs in those three ( I owned two of them ) still using Aino as a second phone
[XPERIA X10 General] dante2086:
As a vivaz pro owner, I will tell you now, that if I was SE, I wouldn't bother my self with symbian anymore either.

UIQ in my opinion was the best implementation of symbian, then nokia tricked MOAP, and UIQ, into selling their shares, in the guise of hey, let's unify symbian. Then what happened, symbian was overly nokiarised.

When google improves android, they share, when Nokia updates S60v5, they go, well ur on ur own dudes. You know this.

Why do u think samsung got pissed last year and dropped all support for symbian.
[XPERIA X10 General] caifanX10:
Too bad, I really wanted to get a Satio about 2 years ago and an Aino 1 year ago :D

Seriously, don't get me wrong. I love my Xperia X10, but I now this phone CAN do more than SE rules. I think it isn't about getting Froyo (that won't happen, so ppl stop that, or unlocking the bootloader), but at least we should get an update to make this phone even better.

They say .24 update is good, I don't have it yet so I need to proof it. And this kind of updates like dualtouch are helping, but I think isn't enough yet. That's all.
[XPERIA X10 General] caifanX10:
What about Nokia and the Maemo project? Maemo is a good OS. I'd like to see SE experimenting with it in the future (would I be asking for too much?)
[XPERIA X10 General] dante2086:
Dude, I know what I'm saying, and just so you know, you don't really have to have money as a business to make something, that's were losses and bankruptcy come from.

Let me put it into perspective for you.

HTC Q4 profit, 500 million dollars.

Samsung mobile Q4 profit, 1 BILLION dollars

Apple Q4, sit down for this one, 6 billion dollars

Sony Ericsson, the whole 2010, 90 million dollars.

It's so difficult for them to make profits, that if they splashed cash, they suddenly be in the red.

I'm not making excuses for them, but people should look at things from all angles.

How many updates do Samsung phones get with their billions, they have enough money to hire every single XDA developer for a year.
[XPERIA X10 General] dante2086:
I agree with you, maemo is very good. But then, Nokia has more or less dumped it for meego, and it barely has apps.
[XPERIA X10 General] caifanX10:
So, basically Maemo needs more developing, I think it might become an important competitor in the handset market. Hey SE devs, listen carefully, you have one more option beyond Android :)
[XPERIA X10 General] MJ_QaT:
Sony Ericsson's aim for the X10 is to make as solid as possible, and I have to say they managed to do so, compared to my Galaxy Tab 2.2...

the .24 is a very reliable update, right now I am waiting for the official update for the Dual-touch in UK so I can try and and see what happens..
[XPERIA X10 General] dante2086:
Customers shouldn't read financials, agreed, but informed customers like u and I should. If u didn't want to know as much of ur phone and brand as u could, u wouldn't be on XDA.

HTC made in one quarter, over 5 times what SE made in a year, that means bigger workforce, more programmers, more updates.

Sony Ericsson had to lay off thousands just to make a measly profit. And fighting tooth and nail is what got them into that mess, remember when made phones that had insane specs for their time, K700, S700, W800, K750, K800, the P series, the list is endless. Techies like us loved those phones, but they cost money to make, and didn't sell as much.

So I think they are tired of fighting tooth and nail, they just want to survive.

And their new range is NICE.

Arc for my MTN line.

Xperia Play for my Etisalat line.

Mwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!
[XPERIA X10 General] MJ_QaT:
I can't see any reasons for them to go and try Maemo..

They will need:

-More resources ( Devs and Techs ), which leads into spending more money

-More time to get to know the OS

-Pay Nokia to use their Maemo OS

It will not end up good for them, especially since it came from Nokia.....
[XPERIA X10 General] dante2086:
Yes, but will it have support, because support, more than anything else, is what sells OSes, Sony Ericsson is not big enough to popularise Maemo, on it's own.

Bigger companies like Samsung and Nokia, also have to be behind it.
[XPERIA X10 General] MJ_QaT:
in case you want more details in what they have gained and loss last year

just keep in mind

Financial Results For Sony Ericsson
[XPERIA X10 General] :
But they dared to try Symbian... And Maemo isn't specially from Nokia, is a Linux based OS, just like Android. I dunno how much Nokia has inverted on it but as far as I know, the Maemo development model is mainly open source and only some pieces of it are property of Nokia, not the entire system (correct my if im wrong).

So, why not daring?
[XPERIA X10 General] MJ_QaT:
Because at this time they are trying to stand up and regain what they have lost from investing into Symbian...

can't correct you on Maemo because I have small knowledge about it
[XPERIA X10 General] dante2086:
Net income is the actual money they gained, and that is, like I said 90 million, just like the report shows.

And can u imagine, a loss of almost a billion the previous year, as far as I'm concerned, they aren't still out of the woods yet.
[XPERIA X10 General] :
Good point, so that seems hard to do right know (specially looking at Symbiat experiment results...) . Maybe in the future?

I repeat, I'd really like to see SE trying new things.
[XPERIA X10 General] jonleyo:
In my opinion, I can't complain about X10. If you still remind what it was with android 1.6, they just did a huge improvement. Dual touch, Android 2.1, fast apps... and the last update really make a difference with the speed.
[XPERIA X10 General] MJ_QaT:
I have provided the link to support your argument :)

Well, as long as SONY is behind them it will not be easy to see them out of the wood :cool:
[XPERIA X10 General] MJ_QaT:
They are doing a lot of improvements even in Android, have a look at their camera with the ARC, keep in mind that this video is shot with another Xperia ARC

Xperia ARC- Camera Review
[XPERIA X10 General] dante2086:
They did say they were keeping an eye on WP7 though.
[XPERIA X10 General] MJ_QaT:
X7 and X7 mini

they might change either the name or specifications, but we will have to see the official announcements

X7 Specs

Edit: THe X7 and X7 mini were not confirmed by Sony Ericsson yet, actual they made it clear that they have not invested in WP 7 yet
[XPERIA X10 General] :
Im not a Windows fan, even in my computer I rather to use Linux (except in my job, all the computers here run Win). But I've heard good things about WP7, that sounds interesting.

However, what I've seen about UXP and graphics of WMP7 looks terrible for me. Those squares are damn ugly, yet uglier than iOS :D
[XPERIA X10 General] azian_advanced:
i'm glad that SE has their eye on WP7 just like how they had their eye on android in the past.. i have a good feeling about their x7 launch but the only thing that worries me (or SE for that matter) is how wp7 will do against android. imo, i still have confidence in android's future and current progress but for people to actually buy the x7, wp7 will have to be a really good OS compared to those that are already out (ie. symbian, iOS, android, etc.). i still think SE is king at making beautiful devices and i really appreciate the build quality and feel of the phones they make. if i ever had to go wp7, i sure hope it'll be made by SE. the current wp7 phones are
[XPERIA X10 General] violentgoomba:
Aye, extremely happy about DT. SE has done the right thing, at least in this aspect.

WP7 from SE will probably be a nice device but I say focus on getting it right on the Android front first.
[XPERIA X10 General] MJ_QaT:
That's what they're doing now :cool:

Here is the app I have but would like something better. :)

zombiesaresexy.com/Zombie_Android_App/App_1/zombiesaresexy.apk

So I started a site called zombiesaresexy.com and have wanted an app for it from day one.

The site is built on Wordpress and I just want a simple app that pulls in the RSS feeds and allows people to read the full post from the app.

I have tried App Inventor for Android but have no luck making heads or tails of it.

If anyone would want to help out (make it and share with me how its done) or just has a good framework for something like this that would be great.

Really, I have seen a lot of people wanting there own App this just pulls in the RSS from there site so I am amazed there is not a framework so people can just plug and play.

But any help would be great!

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] chaos67731:
Ok, is there anyone that would build on for money?

I don't mind paying for it and would nit mind having adds in the app so your could make money that way to.

Send me a pm if you want the job and give me a price.
[Android Apps and Games] jgittins:
There's already tons of apps that can do this, try one of these.

Yeah but I am wanting this app to hand out on my site.
[Android Apps and Games] Anderdroid:
How much you willing to pay?
[Android Apps and Games] chaos67731:
I dont know the time it would take to do this app.

But if its not to hard I will pay $50

If it is something that will take a lot of time and work We can work on the price.

Also to help me keep the cost down I am willing to have the google ads on it. in hopes that who ever makes the app can make a few bucks that way.
[Android Apps and Games] Captainkrtek:
Id be glad to help you for free, XDA isn't about paying for service, its about sharing knowledge and helping users

If you check out the .apk I have linked to, I am ok with it being simple as that.

The only things I rally care about is that it has an icon, the app I have now just uses a slandered android icon

And it reading the full post from the app and linking to the post if they want to comment.

There are a few parts to the site.

Main post

stories

video

questions

But all get pulled in with the rss feed

http://zombiesaresexy.com/feed/

So I am not sure if it is just as easy as pulling in the feeds?

Also, I hope to get this on the Android market but it is just something I want to hand out to readers.

[Android Apps and Games] Clarkster:
If you want to hire a developer to do it, you're probably looking at $1000 or more in the end. $50 doesn't really cut it.
[Android Apps and Games] chaos67731:
Yeah I got a few quotes and the range was from $700 to $900.

Not really the money I want to spend just for having fun on a site so I thought I would ask here.

If I dont get any where with it I am ok with that and will looking it to making an app on my own latter down the road when I have time to learn what it takes.

But as you can see someone has offered to make me app. :) So I am happy with that and even tho he said he did not want money for it I will donate something thing.
[Android Apps and Games] chaos67731:
Really I will pay if someone will make this! I can get it on the market I just need the app made.

Hoping to keep it low and because of that I know it will not look the best. I just want some thing that works.

[Vibrant General] johnny13oi:
Hey guys, does anyone think that the Vibrant 4g is the exact same hardware as the Vibrant but with an updated Radio software to enable HSPA+ and FFC considering the spot was left open for the FFC in current Vibrants?

If this is the case then this will be awesome. A simple rom flash and FFC (without banding) and HSPA+ working on all Vibrants.
[Vibrant General] swehes:
Yes. Now the question is, will we be able to get the HSPA+ antenna and the Vibrant 4G FFC from http://globaldirectparts.com/ and just flash the ROM over?
[Vibrant General] Haxel:
I doubt the radio, but I'm giddy like a schoolgirl if the FFC works. Not like I'll really use it, but itl be fun to add.

on second thought.... it may even be the same radio, just locked out at first to give the + more "features". or maybe slight design/performance issues they corrected for the "+".
[Vibrant General] TheMan42:
Highly doubt it - an HSPA+ 21 radio in the new Vibrant means that there's a different chipset embedded - you can't simply add 14Mbps to the radio cap from strictly a software standpoint.
[Vibrant General] ndwgs:
+1

I agree with him.

I've disassembled and inspected my vibrant just for the curiousity of it, and i compared majority of the parts to the I9000, and some are totally different specs, but definetly compatible.

With that said, i'm not surprised if they did change the chipset/radio to get the so called, "HSPA+" speed.

Sent from the helm of the Vibrant Galaxy!
[Vibrant General] SamsungVibrant:
Gps hardware changed also probably.

My vote goes to different hardware, and I can almost certainly bet the GPS hardware will be changed too.

[Vibrant General] XPLANE9:
No, what makes you think that?:p "This Changes Everything. Again."

-Steve Jobs
[Vibrant General] Col.Kernel:
Did you learn nothing from people's experience with the Vibrant?

It took 3 months for Samsung to release a software fix that didn't fix most of the disfunctional GPSs. A month or so later they release a patch that finally fixed them, except for the ones with a hardware problem. It took them 6 months to release Froyo, long after Gingerbread is old news. And that was probably the result, at least in part, of the #NeverAgain campaign.

And I'm glad that Eugene is doing something with the Behold, because Samsung sure couldn't care less. But even a good dev like Eugene can't fix the hardware issues that plague the Behold.

So if you want to get fleeced by a company that wants your money but doesn't want to give you support after they have your money, feel free to deal with Samsung.

Personally, I'd get the G2. HTC, while not perfect, has shown a LOT more inclination to comply with the spirit of the Apache license and the OHSA charter.

And while, as someone commented, you may not care if Samsung ever updates your TV or not, there are other options out there with just as high a contrast ratio and from companies that has shown that they are willing to support their customers in the past (LG and ViewSonic).

Frankly, I'm pretty pissed off at the mod who locked the "Do you still hate Samsung?" thread, categorizing it as "whining". For consumer activism to be effective, people must remember. Samsung and their ilk count on people forgetting that they are a bunch of ripoff artists.

My wife has a G2, it's a very fine phone. My advice is to get it. I wish I had waited for a G2 rather than buying a Vibrant at launch.
[Vibrant General] Tarzanman:
Whether or not the old Vibrant can do HSPA+ depends on the chips inside the phone.

Its not uncommon for two tiers of products (like computer processors) to ship with the same hardware, but different settings/firmware to enable or lock out certain features.

Keeps manufacturing costs down to do it that way because you can use the same assembly line and parts for all of your products.
[Vibrant General] aaronb1138:
If they wanted to really make it a killer device and not just the most infinitesimal incremental upgrade to the Vibrant, they would start with 2 things: 1) Up the RAM to 1 GB (maybe 768 MB) as Android is a RAM hog, well really Java is a RAM hog. 2) Use higher bin'd CPUs and include a "turbo" throttle mode to go to 1.2~1.3 GHz for short bursts (since most of us can and more with SetCPU and a O/C kernel).

I'd love to see a version with a slide out keyboard similar to the G2 or TP2 and bigger battery. A truly brilliant engineer would make a keyboard/extended battery a snap on add-in module that replaced the back cover and existing battery without a ton of extra bulk (The camera is offset enough to just leave an slot at one end of the slide out tray). Make it an option package under $50-70 and I would be in line to toss in some extra cash.

Another odd niggle of the Vibrant is the lack of hardware camera button. I am willing to bet they took it out because of complaints regarding previous hardware camera button implementations. All the Behold/Instinct/Solstice/Highlight/etc phones the camera button a) stuck out further than all other buttons b) if held for a few seconds would break any screen lock and start taking pictures while in your pocket.
