Hey guys,
in a german board someone said he is in contact with the SE support and today he was told that there is a new firmware out. It's called R2BAxxx and should fix the battery issues.
In an other board someone posted this
Hi guys!
The next firmware is due soon and it's called R2BA013.... it's contains some new features such as small ui improvements in timescape and mediascape and the creatuch app. This firmware is blazing fast and very much improved from .016. The battery time is also improved and it seems that the screen resolution looks better too. Also the face-recognition is very much improved. There is also a nice "slide" animation when browsing through pictures. All in all, this is probably what SE had in mind when releasing X10, and all I can say is that it's really good and I'm very pleased.
So if there's someone out there who's not sure to buy this phone because of the minor problems that's know in 0.14 firmware, I can almost guarantee you that this will fix them all and make you very pleased with the performance of the X10

Does anyone allready have this firmware? Or has anyone further information about that?

I have to add, the german support said the update is allready out and in his office anyone was allready running the new version. He also said that it could take 1 or 2 more days until everyone can update but perhaps someone allready has?
bring it asap

Yes i know that 2.1 will come in september but there must be an update before that to kill the issues like battery lifetime. This one will do that an bring us some ui improvements and timescape / mediascape fixes.
Guy's i can't seem to be able to update from even 1.04 to 1.06.
have you unbranded your handset? Seems to hit the unbranded ones first... others will be controlled by their network.
Hi all.. don't know if anyones heard anything official from SE on this or not?
I've just emailed there support email [email protected]
To ask for an official comment on timescale and functionality...
Cheers. Alan.
i have debranded my x10 rogers to generic NA x10a firmware. i seriously doubt that SE will release a firmware for this firmware seeing how the phone isn't officially released here in the states except for the x10i models.
i think for those of us with X10a, i think we will be waiting for the firmware update in late may or even in september. that's my take anyways.

Just so we can get a clear answer for anybody else looking, Rogers x10a can be debranded, but can't be upgraded to the new .16 firmware at this time (because there isn't a new firmware released for the x10a model?).
Correct?
I believe this is incorrect.
R1FA016 & R1FB001 X10a firmwares have been released for some regions.
There is a question of which apps can be accessed via the market because of region specifics.
Okay so it has been determined from multiple sources (but a very credible one as well) that my original post is correct. There is no 1.0.16 firmware for any X10a phones.... Yet.

I'm a "very credible" source? SWEET!
However, I will admit that I haven't attempted to de-brand my X10, and thus am speaking only from what I have read here on XDA and elsewhere. Firmware .16 may have been released for the X10a in the past few days, but not that I have heard (and I am keeping an eye out for it as that'll help push me to attempt to de-brand).
augie7107 is correct though, in that it seems the generic X10a firmware (R1FA016) isn't authorized with Google yet, and thus some apps won't be available to it via the market where those same apps are available on the Rogers branded firmware.
hello,
sorry i think there is, i lived in netherlands and upgraded my x10 via my phone and am having now precisely hw its been stated on my phone....firmware v....1.6,baseband v....1.0.16,build number....R1FA016 that what am having now.............dont know much about all the stuff but i love my toy

As my original post stated, your post is incorrect.
There is both a R1FA016 and a R1FB001 out there for the X10a.
They are also both labeled NAM.
R1FB001 is out for x10a. will try it and get back to everyone.

Has anyone managed to get an answer out of Rogers tech support on firmware update timelines?? So far most of the reps I've talked don't even believe me that there's new firmware out there for other carriers.

Differences so far are more stable timescape, contact pictures don't have to be 8mpx to look clear and battery life is slightly better.

ok sweet, some progress! Can you elaborate on "slightly" better?? lol. It's probably hard to quantify the change, but let's just say...would you recommend this R1FB001 fw solely for the improvements in battery life??
Also, notice any differences regarding the availability of apps in the market? Specifically between R1FA014 and R1FB001 or whatever carrier branded firmware you were using before? Any changes to Mediascape? Playlists or EQ? Will Timescape integrate facebook profile pics with contacts now?
many thanks for "taking the plunge" as it were first
Battery improvement is not Noticeable with the firmware update as much as it is by power cycling after a full charge. (Doubles to triples the battery life.) Media scape seems snappier but playback volume still seems low. As far as the apps I haven't noticed a difference but mind you I'm used to finding missing Alps via torrents. The camera as well seems snappier. Took phenomenal pictures in direct sunlight the other day.

Hi, I've just received the newest OTA update from HTC, the new version is 1.83.415.4. I was wondering does anyone know what new features or fixes this update provides compared to my older 1.32.405.6.
First thing I've noticed is the phone is lot quicker. Seriously, I cant believe how much quicker my phone is now.
Cheers..

judging from the time shown in the screenshot and a world time zone map i think he is in brazil somewhere, maybe east coast?
or greenland.... lol.
Judging from the size I'd say it's a new version of the last updated, 1.72. On a rooted stock ROM the only update I'm offered is to 1.32.405.6 from 1.32.405.3 that's in the UK.
No update yet from the Philippines with a unit from Europe.
Cheers from my DHD.

I did a quick search, couldn't find anything intressant. But what i notices is that the xperia play has the same build version.
I just connected mine, bought from Germany (no branding, no SIM lock) and having .181 firmware, the SEUS says I have the latest software so no need to update.
No update here in Denmark as well. 181 still. :-(
Sweden doesn't seem to have gotten any update yet either.

I noticed my nexus does better job than arc i don't know why. but i like the arc really great screen even outside everything is clear.
Some games lag even angry birds lag i never had this on my nexus. I don't believe it's ram related because have 100+ nothing runs in the background.
But waiting for future update, it will get better
I've played AB a bit and not had any lag for me...
I did get a bit of lag yesterday when playing for about an hour or so, then about about 2 minutes it just sorted itself out...

Except that can and is being fixed server-side by Google, so not having 2.3.4 isn't as big an issue as it might be.
Plus, the problem only occurs when using unsecured wi-fi networks - the clue is in the name

Yeah, they pushed out a minor bug-fix.
This is a combination bug-fix and update to the next version of Android, of course that's going to take more time.
When other manufacturers like HTC are only just updating their current handset range to 2.3.2 and SE are updating the Arc and Play from 2.3.2, I don't really see why you're being so negative.
Pretty new to the android stuff so,
Will this be an OTA Update?
My Phione is unlocked and rootet, any issues for updating?
Last question will it wipe your phone?
thx for replies...
@Karooluss This will be the 2nd update for the arc....
It launched on build .181 and is now .184.
So uhm...... 2 updates (including an android version update), and the phone's only been about 2 months. Not bad going?
Ronniecross, I have still 181 fw fersion although I check for new almost every day. 184 is probably update only for UK and it add some unnecessary stuff like bbc player?? Correct me if I m not right;-)

By saying next week they probably mean the last day of the next week, so 10 more days to go

To work with Facebook you need to sign in. HTC sense is also really integrated with Facebook (twitter flicker) but you have to sign in. If you don't sign in the function doesn't work.

Yay for 2.3.4. Nay for Facebook integration. I like it the way it is right now. Please make Facebook integration optional Sony Ericsson.
Let's just hope Rogers pushes it out next week as well.
IT IS optional you can turn it completely off from the menu! )
Well I won't update it immediately when I comes out. I'll wait and see if Gingerbreak works on the new firmware. And can unlock the HBOOT.
I hope this update brings the much anticipated fixes for the ARC, it's SO close to being perfect, come on SE!
there is an update on that article, the version of the new android update for the Arc will be 2.3.3
Anyone knows what other improvements will be brought by this updates in addition to Facebook intergration? I left a message on SE product launch blog to Rikard, but didnt get any response yet.
So, I'm wondering if the update is for both LT15i and LT15a.
