Wow, you dont even want to try to unbrick your phone? I hear you though. Im getting so tired of my wing, and I am about ready for a new phone myself. i just bought a 46 inch sony bravia, so i cant justify spending any more money on a phone, but there is a runor at our office we will be getting our bonus check next week so who knows. anyway, best of luck, and thanks for all the help you have given to me, as well as everyone else. i might have to look into the raphael. im still not impressed with the g1, so not sure what i want.

Yeah, I'll have to look into those. I've been busy and haven't had time to research phones yet, but we did get our bonus, so I might have to buy myself a phone soon! Let me know what you decide to go with. I would love to hear feedback.
ive had a lot of hands on with the GSM model (Fuze) and the Sprint TP both work so i cant describe but i preferrably would go with the Fuze just so i can keep flashing my phone lol but i get a major discount from sprint so most likely ill go with sprint
the Fuze actually mless programs space than the Sprint TP thats easily fixed by rom flash for a clean version
Hey All
Just ordered myself a HD2 off of Ebay. Paid $750aud inc shipping. Finally decided to retire my slow old Xperia X1, will prob just keep using it to test new rom's that come out....
Now I have a few questions. Are they're any special tweaks or cabs to install to make it better? What case's are people mainly using with the HD2? Any general problems or things I should know?
Thanks everyone
I think that is very personal.
I am using cookie tab now and it is very good for what i like about a phone. Just look around this forum and read, try and experience !
It`s very nice to try tweaks especially if they are in a cab. If you don`t like it, just uninstall. If anything is not good the folks here will help you set thing right again.
Its a great forum for a great phone

You will not be disappointed... I was worried about the lack of keyboard when I made the change from the X1 to the HD2 and I can tell you its not a problem... for tweaks a must is BSB Tweaks (found on here in a sticky I think), has loads of tweaks that are very handy... there is also a thread on things to do with your HD2 when you get it... some of them are covered by bsb others not so much all handy... I have not yet had a problem with my HD2 but some do... again there are loads of threads about this problem or that... so far (touches wood as probably just jinxed myself) its been all gravy...
I reckon you should stay with the oem rom for at least a week and research this forum. customising your hd2 is a very personal thing, what suits one will not suit another. there's a thread which people post there must have apps, I would try there first. that's my opinion
It is interesting to see how fast the pricing of the Leo drops from 820AUD at the end of Jan to 750AUD now.
But anyway I recommand you to test your device for few days before doing some flashing or customising to see if there is any hardware issues
If I were you I would install several tweak softwares like BSB and HD2Tweak.
just to cover all the available reg tweaks
Just my tiny bit of advice
The Leo should amaze you lol

hi guys, i want to ask~
is AU's telstra version hd2 using exactly the same frequencies with US's T MOBILE versions?
thank you.
im not sure if AU's version can use China's WCDMA frequencies.
Ebay
I just hope you get it. I ordered a phone via ebay before and got burnt along with many others, had a good rep etc. Anyway Ebay are basically useless in terms of assisting to get any $ back.
Other than that you'll love it, its a great phone and very customizable.

Its not true. Paypal buyer protection is very good. They always return my money when they should. And the seller must prove that you got the parcel.
Yer I was planning on staying on the stock rom for a bit....funny I used to flash my xperia to be like a stock HTC phone, so yer the stock rom should keep me happy for a few weeks...
Yer I was a bit skeptical about having only an onscreen keyboard, one of the things I loved about the xperia was the HW keyboard
Cant wait till it arrives, it looks like an amazing phone

I had asked HTC on twitter when the new win7 phones will be coming out since I was interested in the hd2, they told me that the first phones will be for sale in Q4,
Right now i dont know exactly what to do. But ill give it a chance and hope for an update. So ill be getting the HD2 tonight.
I bought an xperia last year in feb and was really dissapointed when there werent any new official panels, thnx to XDA I pimped my phone a little bit. But now when I recieve my new phone tonight, ill give my old Xperia to my mother who needs a new phone

Unfortunately not in my case and with 32 other people. Thats how many people this guy stung. Through letters from all victims, QLD police investigated, and the guy was tracked down and currently behind bars, this was the update from the police however still no money despite chasing for it.

hello
today i'm going to buy my new phone because i've sold yesterday my samsung i8910. i was going on the htc desire but i've see that xperia is already rootable. thanks to that. can you tell me if now, with the root, we will have2.1 sooner than we expect and custom roms? the hardware of the xperia is better than the desire but i was going on the desire because of the faster and more actual os. thanks
The X10 is NOT rooted yet people working on it but it is difficult.
so what's your opinion, should i go for the xperia and wait for the root or should i buy the desire?

its risky. the X10 might never get rooted. however.
X10 rooted = million times better than desire/nexus
X10 not rooted = POS you should avoid. unless the phone design is the only thing matters to you
I have my hopes up for the froyo petition, especially answer to that. Ofc nothing confirming but atleast it was'nt a defenitive no.. still, if you want an up to date phone X10 is not your choice as of right now. Sad thing couse its one damn fine device and im pleased with it, but ofc i'd like to see some updates soon

serious hardware that is crippled by an outdated OS. if it would get 2.1 or if the OS gets a fix for the laggy interface, i would say it's a good buy.
you should wait and see what's up.
because if this phone is rooted, it's a different ball game.
So, what ods am i looking?i'm afraid i buy the desire and tomorrow the x10 gets rooted. Lol. I've read that paul is working on this. Should i have hope on paul?

think you should give yourself a timeline
if paul is not able to root and SE is not giving a better announcement before your timeline
then you give up x10

lol SE have alot to answer for what a let down. Mind you I think if SE announced another fantastic android handset to be launched, with better specs then x10, i fear most people would probably fall for that aswell.
people need to stop moaning . x10 does everything it needs to do and does it great. the only lag is when using timescape (and se promise to fix this in the next update as they managed to make it not lag on the x10 mini and mini pro). i dont use timescape anyway
with the htc ime keyboard my x10 is great. i will only start feeling let down when everyone else is getting 2.2 and working flash. at the moment though im having no problems at all with SEs version of 1.6
also got to consider that x10 is about £100 cheaper than a desire/nexus one
root will come
Unless the prices have dropped the last i checked x10 was more expensive then desire.

you really not experience any lag at all in lock screen?
and for why x10 mini is not lagging there's a thread already told us it's the different of resolution make x10 mini smoother than x10 and I'm convinced.
and man if you can get a x10 cheaper than a nexus one for £100 get me 1 please i'll more than happy to have one
i've checked paul's twitter and i've seen is last message saying "Gah, every time I think i've cracked the X10 root, it slips away! :-(
about 18 hours ago via Twitter for iPhone "
what does this means?
It means that he believed he was so close to root it but something happened and he didn't.
I guess he didn't give up.

You're ridiculous.
Hello guys...
I'm only asking this because I just bought the phone 4 days ago, and I can still send it back, and go for the HTC Desire (which I think i should have done at first place...)
Is root achievable? I mean, you guys are trying to get root or you WILL get root?
Don't get me wrong, I'm not rushing you guys! I just want to make sure before I give this phone back...
Btw, if u guys need something, I'm here to help, anything u guys need to test, i can test it on my phone....
Thanks!

as of right now who knows it could be days month years who knows when, your better off with the HTC,
man your guess is as good as mine.. starting to get frustrating.. I might go and switch to the desire as well..
Faith keeps me strong! lol
you should consider the change, you shouldn't count with the root in your decision since nobody knows when. but ill tell u something:
- I much prefer LED than AMOLED (Desire). Although LED is "spender", uses more battery and less "vivid, when you are out, just under the sun rays, on AMOLED screens you don't see any bit... moreover it's 4'' versus 3.7
- Although Desire camera still being good, Xperia is awesome.....
- i'd like more stetically speaking Xperia than Desire. Although i dont like so much physical bottons on the bottom
For me it's not the end the rooting... Im still having all the programs I need and use more often (copilot, sport tracker, music player, browser and mail. for me it's enough). stetically 2.1 and 1.6 are the same, and for me doesnt provide us that much more everybody speaks about....
If i could choose i'd prefer nexus one, i'd like more the shape of the bottom part, more rounded and i think fits better on a single hand (xperia could result a bit difficult)
I wouldn't pay many more for the trade....
what do you want root for ?
is it only for tethering, installing new firmware and some more fluff ?
Stick with your x10 if it is only for those 2 reasons. You can tether with some payd software ( free if you don't use any sort protected connection , https )
you're gonna maybe impress your friends for a minute or 2 and you will get sick of changing firmware every single days
magic/dream favorite users firmware = cyanogen rom because it simple , fast and no fluff
you won't care about 2.2 fluff after a week or 2
you won't impress any girls with some soft fluff. You're phone body AND your own body might impress girls
Now
a good reason to go with another phone might something like mini usb ? do you like mini usb ?
Finally
XPERIA X10 General
Discussion about the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 (general Q&A, tips & tricks)
it depends on your needs ,x10 recently has no root and may be forever ,but it is a good pice of hardware better than desire in every point of comparison but the problem that will face the x10 may be in the coming few monthes is the support allot of apps are going to require android 2.1 as a minimum requirement ,and as we all know sony will not update until the end of the year and for 2.1 only ,at this time all phones will be carring 2.2 and may be 2.3 so you will face compitability issues again ,if you care for a long time support that is achived by root then go for desire ,if not and you care more for hardware go for x10 . best wishes with your choice
There is more than meets the eye with 2.1 and especially 2.2. instead of just extra fluffiness.
The question here is if anyone is working on rooting X10. I don't miss to many functionalities anyway, the only thing I am scared is that 1.6 will be less and less supported with new applications in the market. By that time hopefully 2.1 will appear.

HELLO?? android 2.2... there are so many improvements over 1.6 for eg. support for FLASH!
removing all the random sh*t that SE has put like moxier etc. And the sheer joy of having better faster and sleeker roms which will really take the x10 to a whole new level.
I love my x10 and inspite of ppl telling me otherwise, i think its a great phone with immense potential. But as I see it, we're using the phone at 50% capacity.
For ppl who dont think root is important, you dont know wat ur talkin about.

I guess you guys don't get the irony in this post?! You are so obsessed with that root??! Relax. Apparently SE have done good job securing the device. I wish they have spent their efforts making software it runs as good as the security is... No root would have been necessary then

I found teh irony when I read the ashman's post, after I posted ^^
What i want from root is to take out from my phone all the SE rubbish that came with the phone like Moxier and the rest... and also to run better roms, that will run faster and better on this phone than this crap that came loaded into it..
Last but not the least, be capable of running the software at full capacity, ie, all the memory that this phone have... i don't see any reason why SE have released a phone with that amount of memory with a software that doesn't support it... some may say that SE were thinking on the upgrade to 2.1 at the end of the year, but wait, WHY THE HECK do i have to wait till the end of the year to have an OS that will be already obsolete by then...
The only reason I'm keeping this phone, is because it is an awesome piece of hardware... i really like it.. although I'm gonna really regret it when i find out that SE was lying when said that they are working on the battery life issues...
I really hope that they change their mind and upgrade it to 2.2 or even 2.3 if it is avaiable...
And also hope that it doesn't come loaded with their stuff, like timescape and moxier... i just want the clean and pure Android OS, without any additional crap... I know that it will only be achieved by root anyways... IF root comes...

Priceless mate, thanks for the laugh.
Hello my friends here at XDA!!
It brings me great sadness to say you wont really really see much of me round here for a while. I originally planned to make this thread in about a weeks time when i leave for my holiday to Florida for 2 weeks but im going to post now as today i have sent my beloved X10 for repair due to accidental damage. My x10 is not due back till wednesday, the day before i leave for my holidays.
This leaves me phoneless, i do not own a laptop and tbh i rarely have the patentience to use my **** old pc which sounds like its about to take off with the fan spinning so loudly! I odnt know if any of you notice but 99.999999999% of my posts and pm come from my xda premium app or tapatalk for this very reason!
On the plus side when i get back from my holidays i will be up for an upgrade on my contact and be able to get a better newer phone. When i find something i really like and want i will be leaving you guys. I will pop in of course to 'visit' and when i can i shall post before my holidays. I have a full time job and girlfriend and fairly active social life so dont expect to see much of me is all im saying and when the time comes to move on permananltly il leave you all know.
So really this is just to say you wont see much of me round here for perhaps about 3 weeks give or take a few days.
Peace and out,
Steve
PS
Im open to suggestions for new phones to get and reasons why. Im staying with android and dont want a sgs2
Bye for now..............
Hey Steve,
Hope the effect of cider wears off your x10 soon!!
Enjoy your holidays man!!
As for the new phone... stay with us mate! jk
can you please mention the reason you dont like SGS2 i think is the best option for replacement phone
Wait for new nexus phone...that is what I would do.

Hi Bro,
It is strange not seeing you around today as i know you will be missing all the fun of the bootloader unlock. What a time hey to get your phone drunk, i bet you not do that again mate lol.
Well i hope you get a phone sorted quick and that you enjoy your hols, maybe when you get back you can sort out another cheap x10 so you can play around with the unlocked bootloader with us all but if you get upgraded maybe you will not want to bother as you will have something better, well hopefully.
chat when you can mate.
What to say i feel bad
I know exactly how you feel, my x10 got stolen and vodafone didn't have any x10
They gave me Neo instead and its a awesome phone and all but with the bootloader unlock now I'm gutted...
Have a good holiday mate
