1.6 was limited in the amount ram it could use 2.1 let's you use all of it.

I sound like a total a-hole when saying this but I couldn't possibly care less about 2.1, the big winner for me will be 2.2. Hear me out:
The amount of colours displayed isn't a major issue for me, even with 16-bit the X10 performs well enough. The increase in ram will be nice but again, the updated stock image performs very well even with a limited amount.
The reason I'm looking forward towards 2.2 is mostly the JIT improvements in Dalvik. Even if it's marketspeak to say that there's a 400% increase in speed there has to be atleast some truth to it. Even a 100% change (which is very doable) would be awesome, so it finally feels like I have a 1ghz Snapdragon.
The current speed is like running with lead shoes, it will get you there but that's about it. 2.2 replaces those shoes with running shoes.
Ok, retarded analogies, but you get the point.

How to update instructions:
1. Turn on your phone
2. Use it normally
3. Wait until September for SE to release the 2.1 update.
You can do exactly the same for Froyo! No need to thank me!

@iead1 - Man you're on a roll... that's funny!!..

Ive had the pleasure of using both 2.1 and 2.2. Used 2.1 on Milestone/Droid and on a Nexus One. And of course, 2.2 on the same Nexus. I was amazed by how a simple 2.2 update can change a phone's usability.
Just to give you an idea:
At 2.1, the browser speed of the Nexus One was practically the same as my iPhone 3GS.
At 2.2, the Nexus One finished loading the page just as the iPhone was at it's halfway point.

in two days.goin to get x10.hope i like it.. now using x1....

Reading must be very difficult for you eh?
That's about the only excuse that would be forgivable for posting that question.

X10 is Good ... can an X20 be Great?

I've been going through so many posts about the good an bad features of the X10 I thought maybe we should have a thread where we could actually agree on something?
If SE were to release a future device based on the X10, say the X20 what should they change?
I would say:
Give up a little sexy and go for a 1800-1900mAh battery.
USB connection on the bottom (docking station would be nice to use)
4.3 inch AMOLED screen (may help the battery issue right off the bat)
Front facing camera
Better battery cover (not sure how many times this one would come off before breaking one of those tiny tabs)
Android 2.2 at very least
Better colors .. Deep Red or Steel Blue. Yup, Pretty Pink for you ladies.

How could I forget, In-Call volume

i think x10 actually got the space to hold a bigger battery.
maybe SE just doesn't want to develope a new battery and simply give BTS-41 which is used on x1

the xperia x10 is a good device if you know how to use it. So far many of the problems have been fixed with third party add ons except for multi touch and the in call volume.
If the X10 2 does comes to Canada am going to my Rogers store and gonna ask for a discount.

Incoming call volume is a none issue with mine after the 023 firware update.
Multitouch is not an issue at all?? I have no idea why there are so many hung up on that. The one finger zoom looks to be a way better option.
Good luck getting a discount from Rogers. LOL

You guys forgot the most important thing...access to the bootloader .
Also, I've seen some aftermarket batteries for sale for the X10, I don't know if anyone here's tried them though...? I know there was an 1800mAh battery that is the same dimensions as the current 1500mAh one, and there was a 3600(?) mAh battery that needed a special case so it could fit.

We have access to the bootloader.

The way I see it is that 1.6 is a great platform to learn from and work on. The x10 suffers from software flaws.. pretty much nobody will critisize the hardware capabilities of it. The x20 doesn't even have to be released, just an x10 with better software and way less bundled stuff like mox

Moxier was the first to go after the root was done.
I wanted to get rid of Timescape as well but a number of people have said they have messaging problems after removing it. I stop all Timscape activity with a Startup Auditor and that hasn't caused me any problems.

I don't call that improvement, i call that copy. Go get yourself a samsung.

Yeah taking out Timescape crashes messaging whenever I try to open pics or vids in MMS and also contacts when you try to open them. After a reinstall I have made peace with Timescape and Mediascape.

Serious the in call volume increased
also I only miss multi touch cause you cant play the hige end games
And yeh Rogers is an ass but lets see, they did it for the G1 users so who knows

I would have:
- a back microphone (like the Nexus One) for background noise cancellation
- a Sony Ericsson original table stand (like the Aino)
- no cover over the USB connector
- USB connector not on the top of the device
- optical zoom
- a real flash
What I really don't miss:
- multitouch
- front camera

2.1 over 1.6 benefits

Maybe I'm missing something but I've been reading change logs for Android 2.1 vs 1.6 and I don't really see what the big deal is.
Aside from someone posting that the battery life was a "zillion times better" I don't see anything that is going to improve my phone. Most of what's offered in 2.1 I've already gotten via 3rd party apps for 1.6.
Glad to hear about the "zillion times better" though, throwing out all of my chargers now Assuming most of us would place the fictitious "zillion" somewhere near a trilllion that would mean the battery should last 2.73790926 × 10^9 years. I'll probably change phones before charging again.
Seriously though, what does 2.1 really bring that the market apps don't?

more apps are supporting 2.0/2.1 and above only

Do me a favour and go install the official Twitter app on your phone. I'll wait.

More app compatibility plus faster OS plus better battery. No wonder we can't wait eh?

Well, some just don't know what they're missing until they've tried it.

Twitter sucks
Anyways, for me, the main thing would be more apps would be compatible with the phone! I've been dieing to try LauncherPro!
Another thing that was promised with the update was 720p Recording, and Live Wallpapers (which is also something else that i am excited for)!

Plus
- Full range of colors: 1.6 only has 65000 colors (16-bit), you can see the banding very visible in pictures and movies. With 2.1 we get full 16 million colors.
- Improved BT stack: with 2.1 we will be able to see contact and song names in the displays of our bundled MW600 headsets
Hopefully they've also finally addressed the low in-call volume issue.

I can see 720p recording as a useful addition.

The offical twitter app isn't that good to me. I have tried and last I had it it would always load at the top of the list. Boo third party apps like seesmic and twitdeck have had this fuction for months. I do want to see the display difference in 2.1

AS to the colors I'm not really that excited but I don't really use the X10 for video. If you're a mobile video watcher then I can see why the video enhancement would be something to look forward to.
BT stack improvements would be welcomed but until I can BT voice dial I still won't be thrilled.
Funny thing about that in-call volume. When I use Google Voice the in-call volume is much much better ... no idea why.

BTW you know what's better than Twitter? Google Buzz.
That way, I can not only be inundated by useless thoughts I can also know exactly where they had the useless thought ... sweet.

So far:
Improved colors = useful for some to be sure.
720p video recording = I may use it from time to time.
Newer apps = Depends on what they do but I'm pretty happy with my 100 apps.
Improved BT stack = Yup but still want BT voice dial.
Better battery = Hard to really say unless someone with an X10 is running 2.1
Speed = Pretty fast already.
Twitter = No thanks.
Facebook = No thanks.
Social networking in general = No thanks (I actual reality network
My point wasn't to insult those waiting for 2.1 it was an honest question, "Am I missing something?". The improvements listed, for me, won't get me to upgrade.

Are you really sure there is going to be a great battery improvement? Until 2.1 is running on the X10 you won't know for certain.
I do know that my extended battery has reallly worked out for me. I use the phone for all it's worth (except twitter) and I can go 14 hours and still have 60% remaining.

Yes, my only true desire.
I hope it works well with Google Voice since I have the option set to ask me if I want to use GV or a normal call. Guess I'll find out if 2.2 comes out from SE or the devs.

Possible leaked HTC M8 Screenshots and Device Photos

I am attaching a possible HTC M8 screenshot (source: @evleaks), reported here. Let's hear some feedback. What do you like/dislike?
Personally, I like the onscreen navbar vice the capacitive ones on the M7. I do wish HTC would update their lockscreen icons (phone, messaging, etc), they look so outdated. I would like to see HTC provide more icon sets that can be used on the lockscreen.
Update 2/12/14: Numerous screenshots and device pics have been added. If anyone has new pics or info, please post them! Thanks everyone!

I personally prefer the capacitive buttons but I could live with onscreen buttons I guess. I don't really care how bland the UI looks, I'm hoping for some hardware goodness like improved speakers, battery life, camera, quality control, etc etc. If they nail the hardware they could just completely botch the software for all I care, that's what custom roms are for

I prefer on screen keys. You can customize them better, and makes immersive mode so much better too.

Shows off the dual camera.
It will come with a twin-rear sensor camera. This will give the camera better focus and depth of field and image quality.

Thanks for the pics Santod! Being this close to a possible launch of the M8, I'm becoming more confident that we are indeed seeing photos of the M8 and UI. Also, anything that's posted by @evleaks I tend to have more confidence in, he's very, very good when it comes to HTC leaks. We shall see the truth before too long!
