If Sony didn't change update support of "old" (is one year too old????) devices I don't see why I should buy new one.. I think it's insane to buy new device every year. All companies are claiming that they are eco and green but it's definetly not green to throw away "old" phones so often.

I think this beast deserves at least 2.2 to unlock its full potential

[XPERIA X10 General] pinkeeeel:
Count me in! will not buy a SE unless X10 gets 2.2+
[XPERIA X10 General] Madmax02:

[XPERIA X10 General] Wobstar:
Want Froyo too. Won't get the Arc if I'm not sure my X10 keeps updating. This means the same will happen for the Arc.
[XPERIA X10 General] Miggs00:
Bert Nordberg you're fired.. :)

I won't buy any SE phone even if they give us Vanilla or Ginger...:mad::mad:
[XPERIA X10 General] Perceval from Hyrule:
Count me in dude ;)

But why do you ask for 2.2 ? ;)

SE would get much less work porting to us 2.3, since almost everything is done for the Arc :)
[XPERIA X10 General] PollPixx:
would be nice, but how many x10's are sold in total the last year????

A few million? if we have a few hundred votes....how impressed will SE be than?

I think: Not at all...some one here at xda had the numbers and did the math that less than 1% of the X10 users have rooted their device and less than 1% of the x10 users are member at xda, so eventhough we think we are important users we really are not in the eyes of a mass-selling company like SE...

Well, I only need good devs here, they are way better than SE:D
[XPERIA X10 General] BigDnm01:
I want to sign the petition, too. Is this all I have to do?

If my x10 keeps updating, I won't need to get a new one. SE seriously needs to do some amazing update for the xperia x10, at least on the same level with the Froyo or Gingerbread if it won't let us update the android.

Xperia X10 rocks, have had so many people asking for me to sell it to them. However this is one phone I've had that I have not even had the idea to sell. I even got it unlocked to use as my main phone.

Please we want froyo!!
[XPERIA X10 General] jayc1980:
Add my name too, Jay c

I love this phone especially after rooting and running freex10`s 2.2. The phone just seems more complete. Really do think I will go for a HTC phone next time, not as nice looking as the x10 though, just wish they would let us have the full potential of our phone.
[XPERIA X10 General] :
I still don't know what happened with my big post and Im still waiting for an explanation of why it was erased.

Anyway, my name: Javier Lianso a.k.a caifanx10, I properly join to this request. We need Gingerbread on our X10, or at least Froyo.
[XPERIA X10 General] JDwan:
Signed.

2.2 or 2.3. Though like someone already said on here, it should be easy enough for them to port 2.3 from the Arc over to the X10.
[XPERIA X10 General] Hanzo.Hasashi:
At the end we wont be able to use any new Software since already some require 2.3.eventually the phone will die! Hail to the devs i say!
[XPERIA X10 General] -PiLoT-:
Your last post never actually said you wanted in
[XPERIA X10 General] scasper76:
Get with it SE.

Count me in! I agree with many other members; if no new software is released, I will never buy another SE product either. This is the first SE device I have owned, and really have enjoyed it but with out OS updates, it becomes useless. BRING on the UPDATES!
[XPERIA X10 General] tjrq:
I'm in.......T.Jaurique

I bought this phone a few months ago over a Captivate.....don't know why. SE, this is getting old and ridiculous....thinking about using my Moto Backflip over this.
[XPERIA X10 General] Droid_X10a:
Count me in. SE sure know how to make phone look good but the support given is lacking. 2.2/2.3 would be great and not leave such a bad stain on what could have great phone. The other option is to give us bootloader access as a EOL parting gift.
[XPERIA X10 General] anujbatra:
Count me in guys :)

There are very little hopes but still count me in!
[XPERIA X10 General] erreesse:
if s.e. never upgrade x10 to 2.3 , i never buy any more any sony-related stuff.

even if they made amazing product.

and suggest all people i know to do the same.

that all i can say without using bad word
[XPERIA X10 General] soondeath:
Count me in.

One thing that these phones deserve is an updated version as this shows the commitment of the manufacturers to their user base. Even if Sony don't sell these anymore it would be a great to keep giving support to their customers.

The Nexus One was discontinues some time ago. Its still getting updates to the latest version of the Android OS.

[XPERIA X10 General] JasonGee:
Froyo or bust

I've been a very devoted Sony Ericsson fan for the last 4 years, but if the X10 is abandoned and left on Eclair forever, I'll never get another SE phone Again!
[XPERIA X10 General] cos000:
I'm with you

I don't think that SE will update to 2.2.1 but nevertheless I want to help you.
[XPERIA X10 General] dddnnnggg:
I am a pesimist too, but it would not hurt trying. Count my voice in.
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
+1 For me. Gingerbread would be easier, since they already developed it for the Arc. The next phone I buy will not be SE unless they put it in writing that they will fully support Android updates, not just their own customizations.

However, I must point out that the OP is slightly misrepresenting SE's statement on why they are not updating to 2.2+. I don't know if you're planning on presenting this to SE, but if you are it would help that the foundation of the petition is based on the truth. They never said 2.1 runs better than 2.2. They said it didn't greatly improve the user experience, and the X10 user experience, including Timescape, Mediascape, Face Recognition, UI customizations etc., was a fair/equal alternative to vanilla/generic Froyo.

Regardless, I do believe SE should suck it up if this is what the users want. They delivered what they promised with 2.1, but they also promised 2 full years of support. The X10 has been out for a year, and 2.1 since November. That leaves one year and four months with the same 2.1 OS. That is not 2 full years of support.

EDIT: Wow, After reading fiscidtox's post below, I see SE-UK did expand on the official SE statement regarding improving the user experience to include that 2.2 dramatically reduced performance! What? Who are they kidding? Don't they know we have 4 stable 2.2 roms that are out performing their stock 2.1? Until now, I felt SE had been acting with integrity as to what they had intended for the X10. SE lost one of it's few remaining advocates with that line of BS. This means that they have an X10 2.2 ROM, and doesn't say much for their devs. Give it to us, and the xda devs will fix whatever they were doing wrong.
[XPERIA X10 General] fiscidtox:
Sony Ericsson UK

Hi all, I can confirm that when our developers tested the X10 on Android version 2.2 they found that the performance of the phone was reduced dramatically and therefore the decision was made to not upgrade as we felt it would not enhance the user experience.

As Jonny mentioned your handsets will still be provided with system updates in the future therefore we are not stopping support for your handset.

To me that would be like microsoft saying Vista with a million fixes is better than windows 7 without any, which is a lie
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
Not really. That's saying Vista with Photoshop, Office, ACT, etc is fair/equal alternative to Windows 7 with nothing else. Anyway, see my EDIT. :-)
[XPERIA X10 General] jasjason:
I agree. All their xperia software support ended within a year just like previous x1/x2
[XPERIA X10 General] calebc34:
Yes. SE should at least get 2.2 for this so-called "flagship" cellphone. I would never believe in SE again. X10 was a great machine for a short period of time but it was outdated very soon after its release.

[XPERIA X10 General] skanman911:
Come on Sony..

+1 If a bunch of developers on a blog can get together and make such amazing roms for the phone.. surely you can get your already experienced in development personnel to produce them quicker.. The X10 has very untapped potential. I won't leave the SE line just because of the amazing job the developers do here :).. but I purchase lots of other devices TV's, Blu-Ray, Car Audio, and if this is the support I get.. There is no developers blog for those other devices, forcing me to spend money with other manufacturers. Once again.. major credit to the Dev's here, the value of my phone is determined by them now.

I'll take one Ice Cream Cupcake please, a slice of Gingerbread and Honeycomb on the side.

Whatever Sony.. no have no place in open source! You just do not "get it". Go make cassette players or something your good at.. encryption systems for tv's not phones. Honestly!

If this is anything for a point of reference, I will never purchase anything made by Sony ever again since you laid this essentially illegal bootstrap drm process into the Android O/S, which is covered by copyright law stating it is not prohibited to reverse engineer, it is in fact a basic consumer right you have denied me, so I will deny you my custom for life.

Sound fair? Keep you Arc (great name because it's filled with *&^% ) and all the rest of your outdated rubbish. Don't bother making an system you already have all the drivers and the keys to release with a few hours work for the X10 and make many people very happy but... nah you keep it this way and see how it works out for you ;)

Unsatisfied to the point that if I had the money, I'd drag you through the supreme court just for the hell of it and on moral grounds.

[XPERIA X10 General] a.monteiro:
I guess another petition is needed for the minis/X8 then :p
[XPERIA X10 General] thewelt1:
Sony Ericsson previously stated that the Xperia X10 would be stuck with Android 2.1 (Eclair) forever. Surprise, surprise. Gingerbread is on the way.

This is no rumor. According to the official Sony Ericsson Product Blog, the Xperia X10 will receive a staggering upgrade to Android 2.3 near the end of Q2 or early Q3. That’s awhile away, but certainly worth the wait for anyone who stuck by the Xperia X10 for this long.

Note that the update will not be sent out over the air, and only PC-based users will be able to obtain it. Another caviat is that all personal settings and data will be lost during the upgrade process, so back up anything important first. The only safe spot will the memory card. And if for some reason you actually prefer Eclair over Gingerbread (that would only be acceptable for the actual desserts), you’re stuck. No downgrading will be permitted.

So far there aren’t any plans to upgrade the rest of the X10 family (the Xperia X10 mini, mini pro and Xperia X8) to Android 2.3.3. However, obviously things can change…at least at Sony Ericsson
[XPERIA X10 General] KenT_mos:
+1 I'm in, I want the latest version of android
[XPERIA X10 General] kizm:

[XPERIA X10 General] a.monteiro:
don't forget they also said multitouch was impossible, and months later there it was... i wonder if 16M colors are next.
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
Come on. No you are not stuck if you don't like 2.3. You can use the flash tool to flash back. It's the same thing as when they updated to 2.1. The only people wanting to go back to 1.6 where ones with warranty issues. Seeing as the update is probably only going to hit the generic kits, we will all be using the flash tool to get the update.
[XPERIA X10 General] imugur:
Probably the shortage of components caused by Japan tsunami made them take this decision, they still probalby have a lot of X10 in stock. Anyway this is good news for us, X10 owners :-)

[Epic 4G General] mariegerogette:
I have no idea what I have gotten myself into. I purchased a phone from a small office who said the Epic flashed to a non contracted provider would do the same except only have 3g service. I have found it to be a bit slow, no visual voice mail, no voice activation. I was disappointed but was willing to accept this for the lack of a contract.

I did an update and now it only lets me call and text, no pics, no internet, no apps!

The seller said I would have to drive 70 minutes to get it "reflashed" I either have to get rid of this phone or do it myself.

Can anyone tell me how to "reflash" a phone???? I have very little programming experience but willing to try. PLEASE ADVISE. much appreciated!

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Abusli2:
Is there a way to disable geotagging pictures taken with the camera without disabling gps entirely?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Ladylover31:
It Sucks no one has replied to this. I read that Samsung purposely removed the GeoTag on/off option on this model. I consider that a security issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] joedeveloper:
Not sure if there is an option but I would just toggle GPS off then take pic.

Also facebook removes all EXIF data from photos so no worries there.

Additionally, there are some free EXIF tools I'm sure to remove the GPS info, pain yep, possible yep.
[Xperia Arc General] Ortdom:
is there a change we would have root soon as the Arc wil be released ?

otherwise i have to go for the SGS2 :p
[Xperia Arc General] im_iceman:
We won't know til we try it! Shouldn't think it would take long though..
[Xperia Arc General] exsulis:
That all depends on how locked down the Arc has been. The X10 still hasn't had the bootloader fully cracked yet.
[Xperia Arc General] paulle:
locked bootloader?

will the arc have a locked bootloader?

i mo more will buy a device with a locked bootloader.
[Xperia Arc General] Ambroos:
Yes, the Arc, Neo, Pro and Play come with a locked bootloader. Can't see why SE would unlock it.
[Xperia Arc General] Straightflush:
thats silly though... In that case, a lot of android/root lovers wouldnt buy the phone simply because the bootloader is locked.

For instance, I do not even consider the atrix a choice for a future phone because of the locked bootloader, I wish they let you do what you wanted with your phone, because they can always say **** you if you violate the warranty
[Xperia Arc General] MJ_QaT:
Many are going with the locked bootloader now, even Samsung ( though developers managed to unlock in a short time )

Plus, you'll be amazed by the speed of 2.3 OS and its functionality, so I don't think we'll need Custom ROMs and rooting ( keep in mind that most users here seek those because of the stock OS being unreliable and very slow ) talking about all devices prior to 2.3 OS
[Xperia Arc General] im_iceman:
+1 that was the main reason i rooted in the end... Still on stock rom on my x10 but had optimised for performance. Won't both doing that if the arc runs well.. I like the ui a well as the physical design.. That's why I choose SE over htc/ others.
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
That is for sure a fact for me as well and as you mentioned only reason to go with SE. (Sony in General).

Rooting will let you do more tweaks as much as possible and unless you are into playing with your phone deep, you don't need it. Hopefully SE will do a better job in terms of support than what they did with X10 and X2 and X1.
[Xperia Arc General] Shutterspark:
I want root solely for Titanium Backup and Autostarts :p
[Xperia Arc General] Straightflush:
But what I'm guessing is that you don't really need titanium backup if you aren't flashing roms...

One thing I really really want root for is wireless tethering
[Xperia Arc General] Shutterspark:
True, but I like using it to backup unwanted preloaded system apps etc. before removing/freezing them ;) Already have a paid license from when I was screwing around with the ROM on my IS01, and it's a little easier than digging around in the folders for the right apks.

And yeah, wireless tethering is a big one. No idea how I forgot about it.
[Xperia Arc General] arek1:
In 2.3.3 wireless and USB tethering is standard, no root is need but of course root is very useful in other situations.
[Xperia Arc General] Shutterspark:
It's not so much whether the Android version will support it, but more whether your particular carrier wants to support or allow it ;)
[Xperia Arc General] Ambroos:
Let's hope unbranded/unlocked devices have tethering then!
[Xperia Arc General] arek1:
I can't see reason why unbranded/unlocked phone will haven't tethering.
[Xperia Arc General] Ambroos:
Well, here in Belgium we have completely unbranded and completely unlocked Androids, but because of a conflict of Youtube with SABAM (the Belgian music rights thing), Youtube access is blocked (no Youtube app) on all Belgian handsets. Weird things happen, you never know!
[Xperia Arc General] arek1:
I agree it is possible some carrier will block some function in phones but I hope in unbranded phones it will not be :)

Can you in Belgium just download Youtube application from market?
[Xperia Arc General] Ambroos:
As far as I know, Sony Ericsson is the only vendor that has firmware specific for Belgium. On the X10 for example you can only get Youtube if you manually install the APK from somewhere else. (X10 = 2.1, so no Youtube from the market anyway)

At the press event the people from Sony Ericsson said you can just install Youtube from the market on 2.3 (I think). In any case, I just ordered the Dutch version, it comes with completely generic firmware, and faster updates. Belgium was always a few weeks behind.
[Xperia Arc General] Brumble:
Think this has gone a bit off topic, but in general the arc should be an easy one to root, since it can be purchased with an unlocked bootloader ect.

Sent from my Defy
[Xperia Arc General] im_iceman:
No-one has said that the boot loader is unlocked on this phone... what makes you think it would be?
[Xperia Arc General] Shutterspark:
It probably won't come unlocked if you buy it retail, but it's been announced that you have the option for unbranded/unlocked handsets.

http://blogs.sonyericsson.com/developerworld/2011/03/29/unlocking-the-boot-loader-in-the-new-xperia%E2%84%A2-smartphones/

yeah.. my bad.. just discovered that myself!
[Xperia Arc General] andymnc:
i read that SE has ulocked it on arc
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
I doubt that. They have promised to set up the website server where advanced developers can go and unlock the bootloader; and that comes in next a few weeks as the SE Developers mentioned before.
