Xperia X2 G-sensor rotation? - XPERIA X2 General

Is there any option for Xperia X2 to rotate screen without sliding the keyboard out, but using the built in g-sensor and not the hotkeys?

No, now you need to open the keyboard to rotate screen.
Maybe in next update.......march is finishing and we can`t make an update of our terminal........sonyericsson sucks a lot of.
AINO......Updates......soft......games......
SATIO.....Updates......soft......games.....
XPERIA X2......no updates......no updates.......no updates.
It's horrible.

well they said the first update will be end of march... so technically theyve still got 8 days left... then we can all start whinging lol. im not holding my breath though, "end of march" probably means middle of april in sonyspeak..

Gentlemen! Update MR1 will be released in the 13th week which is next week. So we still have a hope in "in time" release.
So next week keep fingers crossed!!

Right now it rotates only in SlideView

oooh how do you know that??

This information told me a member of Czech SE representation. Yes, its a little bit roumor, but the person of SE could be well informated...
So I hope that next week SE will pay off for endless waiting.

I have updated with MR1 and the G Sensor still does not do the landscape on tilt thing.
That's really not a big deal, but the fact the G Sensor doesn't work with other apps that will work on any other WinMO device pisses me off!

I do but from the speculated specs it's not gonna have US 3G bands. I hope the rumors are wrong. Plus, I can imagine how much it's gonna cost. I'm not paying anywhere near a $1000...maximum maybe around $700.

i did hear this a while ago but have not seen it confirmed, when i ask by twitter on the xperia blog i was told it was up to vodaphone to announce it but on there website it just says november.
just got a direct message from the xperia blog on twitter. i ask why i have not see and reviews yet. they said that they are still waiting for the final x2 software and and we should see reviews soon. they said in a twwet to someone else that they should be sent out next week.
can they release on the 6 november when they still have not got the final software? i doubt they will, my guess would be mid to late november

Would seem odd, but then again it wouldnt suprise me if SE released this early without the final software update. It says so on the Voda website that it will come on the 6th.

To find out, go to this page http://www.vodafonetouchthephone.com/ , click on "skill game", while playing that on the bottom left of the screen different phones will pop up, everytime the phone pops up the date of release pops up with it. You may have to play it a few times as different phones pop up.
id be more interested in the new droid than a rebadge x1

looks like the 6th is the official date. but one thing i would point out is the satio's date is the original one and that was delayed by a week or 2 so the x2 might get the same treatment but lets hope not.
We won't see the X2 in the shelves before the very end of November the earliest.

I can wait!
I don't get it... so You guys are actually waiting for it?? damn... msm 7200a cpu is sooo yesterday comparing to snapdragon or a8 cortex devices. I would wait few more weeks/months if I were You. the worst thing one can do is to sign a vodaphone contract for 18 - 24 mths to get it. well... other than 8 mp camera, what's so special about x2 anyway? panels? please..... SE's quality??
...
I am keeping x1 till release reviews of htc leo, n900 and x3 (if those rumours about nov 3 are real).
then I shall burn my money...
X2 java speed at top
Someone wrote in an SE forum that X2 might get different hardware specs than what leaked before (7200a). Lets wait for the final device and see what aktually is in it
Lets hope they speed it up a bit.
If it does come out on the 6th it'd be just in time before the warranty for my X1 expires so that I can send it for servicing of the keyboard. Been delaying it for so long cos can't do without it for a day.

Well what is SO strange if somebody WANTS that?
I don't ****ing care if it's "so yesterday" or today on paper.
If it works well - great, **** the "dry" specs.
And if it works bad, it's bad.
BTW I don't get any Vodafone contract, but simply buy this from SE.
As for device: great camera, great keyboard, good quality, and yes - also those damned panels. Now you get it?
Snapdragon - there are only two now, both touchscreen only, even no camera button - thank you.
I'm very picky as for hardware/formfactor, nothing convinces me.
N900 - please, a device which works in landscape ONLY???
So - not much to choose from!
And Android - that would be interesting but again - depending too much on Google - thanks.
I'd be really happy to have at least 3 devices I like to choose from but it just cannot happen!
HTC makes such a crappy devices (form factor/functionality)....

is in-call volume really low ?

hi everyone, i had searched so many topics/forums about this common issue
some ppl say its too low so they cannot hear anything in lousy places
some other say its ok and they have not face any trouble
if I was going to buy it for myself somehow I could cope with that but since im buying this device for my fiance I cant risk .
is this going to be a problem so far ?
I dont want my fiance to think that I've bought a crap for her
As far as I'm concerned, yes this is a real problem ! I'm not deaf, but in a noisy environnement, you can hardly hear people you're speaking with .
Yes it is really a problem and SE knows about it and it gets fixed with the next smaller update.
o2 germany confirmed today the update will come in week 25 so that would be june 21.
i only wish they have someway to fix the "end call" button position. i keep ending call because i am use to hear it with my face touching the screen.
its gonna be fixed in the next update.
problem has been acknowledged by SE on their official blog/forum
they are working on the 'acoustics engine
tnx everyone
AFAIK they've said its gonna happen in Q4
http://blogs.sonyericsson.com/produ...on-xperia™-x10-to-get-uxp-upgrade-in-q4-2010/
it may not fix the problem right ? and i cant wait till june 21 cuz I have to buy it in june 15 for her birthday. what do you suggest ? if this not going to work im gonna buy a desire instead
An official update is coming by the 3rd week of june.

Software update vs. Firmware update.
Firmware is what's coming soon.
Software is what's coming in Q4.
Yes. As of now, it is a real problem. In noisy outdoor environment, without the earphone, you can't hear anything.

HTC Legend 2.2 Froyo update offically announced!

Hi All,
Seem HTC has come out and annouced that the Legend will be getting an update in Q3.
pocket-lint.com/news/33997/htc-handsets-froyo-q3-update
looking forward!!!
finally! tks 4 the info
Wicked! Looking forward to an official release and to when it gets rooted.
This has just made my day,fantastic news!
wooooo!!, suppose it will take a bit longer for vodafone to release it though?
I'll be able to renew my contract by November so October is too late for me to enjoy Froyo.
the best part is Q3 technically starts tomorrow.. sooo the update could actually come anytime after tomorrow
looks like the 2 weeks thing is actually starting to pan out
what is Q3 ?
posted again here too:

well conventionally this would around July so , lets say it should be available by end of July, but I guess its up to them.
Still, it's great to have it officially confirmed - finally! The sexiest phone on the market will get even better. Can't wait for app2sd. Yahoo!
3rd quarter of the year, you do the math
Sent from my HTC Legend
Well...if according to the earlier news item when HTC announced that "the Desire will have the update in 2 weeks", then technically the Froyo update will be available this Sunday ... here's me hoping for a nice surprise this weekend!! *fingers crossed*
Also for the person who asked above Q3 means the third quarter of the year, which is the months of July, August and September. So its very possible that we may well see an update for our legend this weekend or early next week.
Can't wait! but does anyone know how to make flash 10.1 work on it when we get froyo?
Wooooot!
This is such good news!! Can't WAIT for Froyo!!!!!
i do hope it is really true, but i would not hold my breath waiting for the update in the next 2 weeks, one quarter is 3 months and it might be available by the end of August. im really looking forward for the update but i wont get my hopes up. hopefully we get it asap though.

Old news is old, but thanks for the effort.
Good to know that they are aware of the Q4 rumours and have squashed them.
Hopefully they roll out the update in the early part of September.

It's not old, it is a new announcement from 2 days ago.
Someone here on the forum claimed that he has some internal information from Sony saying that the updated will pushed back to Q4 due to performance issues, and this new announcement reassures that the update will be released on Q3 as promised before.

I didn't mean old as in the passage of time but rather old as in that specific tweet had been discussed to death already. Was just trying to inject a quick quip before the hordes descended on the thread and flamed it into oblivion.
the announcement is very important. There has been a lot of rumors flying around the market. In this particular time, the consumers do need the official clarification instead of just guessing themselves. Thanks to SE UK for making the announcement again, which should have been done on the SE product launch blog.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
thanks for the information.
O Nozzz!
Without my upgrade tomorrow to 2.2 all the other kids in my class will think I am 2% less cool than they are!!
I read on the interwebs that Sony lied to me, and I will never ever ever ever forgive them. And I am going to cut myself.
/sarcasm
Was wishing to get it before school starts.. Guess not... BTW, we get to keep all our stuff/settings in the update right?

People make airplanes for 6 months and SE needs that time to implement OLD 2.1 on X10 device...they could build whole new X20 phone for that time.
You say "A" update are we talking 2.1 or what (Im dane as well) and where do you got that from

I wouldn't set foot in an airplane that was designed in under 6 months
SE sure take some time, but I'd rather have them deliver a well refined 2.1 then some quick fix

Heh, airplanes take years to design, test and build. The 747 for example started development in 1965 before entering service in 1970.

But to carry on the analogy, porting SE's UXP to Eclair is more like taking a built 747, redecorating it, and putting some useless demo apps in the cockpit to help navigate .

More like taking the blueprints for a 747, building a new body but keeping the infrastructure underneath while adding a fourth floor. It's not as big of a task as building it from scratch but it while take considerable time to develop, test and then finally build it. Might not take five years, but getting it done it under two would be a massive accomplishment.

Just find it on youtube, the video is out for an hour - new features in 2.1 (official

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4zfMGAW0sU
official new features with 2.1 from sonyericssonsupport
It should be out soon then.
ya, very exciting
hm, i really hope this end-of-october-thing is going to com true this time...there were a lot of things published in past...
but looks cool and i'd be really happy to have all these new features on my phone in the end!!!
Finally, a feature I wanted the most. Looks like it is a 2.1 feature to turn of screen when you press power button while on call. Currently, it ends the call and I hated it as I was coming from Nexus One.

I am counting on the update for HD recording as I am leaving on a cruise on 30th. But, if they didn't announce the date till now, it's very unlikely it will happen. We might hear them say on 29th Friday that the update is scheduled for middle of Nov.
If you haven't updated yet, please watch the software update video..
where is this? ^^
i really need 2.1 before 31
discuss it in the 2.1 thread
