Decided to jump ship.. switching to HTC desire

Who is with me?
With all the gripes that we have with this phone right now, including no 2.1 for a 8 months (by which time SE will launch a newer Android device and pay no attention to X10 owners) as well as multitouch, live wallpapers, hundreds of apps that dont run on anything less than 2.1 etc etc, I think its high time we hit SE where it hurts.
Bring on AMOLED, 512 MB RAM, native flash and 2.2 around the corner.
Who needs a 8MP camera. Seriously, all cameras on mobile phones are **** anyways.
The screen size is a tad smaller, but so is the phone (which is better in my books).
Any other reasons anyone can think of apart from the obvious?
Just about to flog it on fleebay/gumtree

You sound horribly insecure. Its just a phone. Relax for god sake.

thats because i probably am... or perhaps just enlightened...
more fits of insecurity coming your way

Exactly its phone nothing more. Jheeze what a pointless thread.

I sincerly hope you are satisfied once you switch.
The X10 is as advertised and I am happy with it as is.

Im sure you are all very happy with the device at hand and this is probably not the best forum for this topic, although I know of a lot of users here who feel the same way about the X10 and would be willing to move away.
If not now, than a couple of months down the line, you will all be singing the same tune when most of the apps stop offering upgrades on the 1.6 platform.

Everyone's opinion is welcome and a forum (any) is the perfect place to express it.
I respect your opinion and your reasoning as it does have merit.
For me, this is my first run on Android.
I like the SE UI and the apps are secondary to me.

i'm with you. but i'm going for the nexus one. receiving that piece of sexy tomorrow.

I will wait another month or so, to see if we get it rooted. If not, ill be getting a 4G when available in the UK

boring htc phones
To be very honest i think Desire and Nexus are both boring not so well designed phones. They´re geek phones with no aesthetics. X10 it´s way more sleek, elegant and big! Froyo will come as well to the X10... just patience my friends. Who know we get the phone rooted pretty soon...

Don't let the door hit you on the way out!

seriously im getting tired of these "omg ive had it with this x10 gotta sell it" go ahead , no one really cares. coming from 2.1, i still dont care if the x10 is still 1.6, its fast,sexy and its just a phone! im all for root, and itll come. for now though people who dont sit at home all day in mommys basement are enjoying the x10.
i certainly hope puberty doesnt confuse you as much as your x10 dilemma.

anyone who is happy with the way the x10 is right now is seriously either super retard OR cant/doesnt have the money/whatever reason to switch to another phone. "ofcourse i am talking software wise " not the phone it self in general as i used to have X10 and i love the design of the phone more than my new nexus 1
anyway OP. i did the same yesterday, i bought the Nexus 1 tho. mainly because i never like the HTC interface and i figure that phones like nexus and motorolla droid are always faster to get updates " since i wont wait for htc to implement their software into the phone before updating.
the guy at the store promised me not to sell my x10 for a week " he is a friend " if SE annouce 2.2 by then or the phone get rooted " haha wtf i am thinking " then great i will get it back. if not, then the hell with SE. let them shove the phone up their @$$. or some unlucky mfer buy it

let us know if it hurts when yours drop too...wait there should be a thread for prepubescent b00ns...

Seriously just keep the x10 for now. Root will come sooner or later. You knew the x10 would come with 1. 6 then why did you buy it in the first place? If I have the patience to wait for 2. 1 or root then so does everyone else, unless you don't have a life and loaft around xda starting useless threads saying ur gonna sell your x10 for another phone. If so go ahead no one is stopping you. We don't need to know anything else. As far as I know this is the xperia x10 thread.

i'm going to be keeping the x10 for a while even after my nexus one gets here today.
i have faith in x10. but the phone seriously is limited by the OS. the nexus one's looks are a matter of opinion and mostly on taste. i love the way it looks but all the good features are on newer OS.
we all knew Android would be updated. but i don't think people expected the phone to have such a long wait for an update with an outdated OS. you get an android phone these days for the reason that the OS will only get better with updates. everyone sees the petition thread, right?
if OS didn't mean a thing and that it didn't have any issues for the X10, no one would be complaining.

Moving to another phone in the future?
Maybe.
HTC? No way ..
What else?
A new iteration of Nexus, maybe a better Galaxy S (one with flash for camera) or a Motorola Motoroi if they decide to sell it in US/Canada.
But really... HTC?
I'm sorry to say but you are crazy
Giving your X10 for HTC Desire/Legend or Nexus One is pointless.
None of them is as good as X10.

pointless ? ..... what planet are you from ?

I agree with miguelsantos1979.
1st Gen AMLOED screens are not overly impressive, my friend has the Desire and he struggles to see the screen in direct sun light.
If you want to change the handset, change it rather then write a post like a spoilt child

Well, assuming that people don't have the cash to switch to another phone when they are having a X10 is the most useless comment I read here since I became a member, it's not about having cash my friend, it's about what you expect from something you bought and if the product suits you or not.
Fortunately everyone is different, I like my X10 eventhough on my X1 I was able to make my own themes and tweaked whatever I wanted. Ashame some games can't be installed because of the fact it is still running on 1.6, but that's not worth getting another phone for me personally. I will wait for the updates, and as soon as SE comes with the update, there will be something new to complain about. That is how it works in this fastgrowing technology world we live in.
Another point can be not everyone goes so deep in their phones as we do, and for "normal" people the X10 is fantastic as it is. SE want to sell big with this phone, so making it to complicated scares of the average customer who just buys a phone based on the looks of it, and you have to admit, the first time you had the X10 in your hand, it was looking good
Just relax and take a beer after you bought yourself another phone
Cheers,
Arnold

This phone is a piece of crap

I am becoming too frustrated using this phone. No official froyo update till now. Those hacked froyo updates always crash and have bugs. Finally decided to gonna sell this crap. Its good for nothing. Samsucks!!
Few days earlier just saw Galaxy Ace on the web, I thought it to be good choice. But that sucks too even it has adreno 200 gpu it isnt able to play fifa and shift smoothly but can say near to it. Developers also dont pay any attention to thse phones. These mid range Samsung phones give worse performance than my ipod touch.
Finally decided to spend some more money and buy a proper phone like xperia play or xperia x10 mini pro 2. Xperia play costs around 400$ according to rumors on the web. Its worth it and i amsure that it would keep me satisfied for six months. These samsung phones wouldnt keep you satisfied for even a week. Therefore we should a get proper one.

I disagree. This phone isn't piece of crap, theses roms, like lestatious, are good, better than oficial. But if you wanna play games, buy pc!!
Yes, you can't play gameloft games, but you can know that before you bought this phone.
Stop cry, flash lestatious rom and try games like angry birds. There are much better games that fifa....

I can play a lot of games just fine. Either you think it's a pocket sized PS3 or you are plain stupid.. Don't expect top notch performance from a relatively cheap low- or mid level range phone, they do good what they are build for, that does not include full 3D games. (which, again, seen to perform just fine because I tried FIFA and The Sims and both played fine.)
Back to the store kid, and get yourself a PSP or something if you want gaming.

I totally Disagree, and you should know that you get what you pay for. This phone costs alot less than those heavy phones and still packs a punch. I own a desire HD also but i still love my SGS 3. Its cute and does what its meant for.

I little disappointed with speed of CPU and custom stuff which aren't a lot a that moment, but like more of you, I don't think it's crap too.
Of course there are better phones but what you expected from mid-class phone.
Anyway as much fun SG3 brought to me like any phone before.

wow
are you really so angry because of just the phone not getting 2.2
or is it something else in your life which has caused you to rant like this.
For its price this is one of the best phone i have used. true there are some shortcomings but nothing is perfect.
As many have said before me it does what it is supposed to. Phone meant for communicating and some light entertainment.
You cant really compare it to an ipod touch. For that matter even the iphone, which if bought officially in india is still more than double of what this phone costs.
So chill, and dont get so worked up.

IF u wanted a gaming mobile phone, Galaxy 3 wasn't a good choice u made.
Screen resolution is too low ...
But otherwise , this phone awesome
And if u want an official update , u better wait for teh ofiicial update while we flash our mobile getting teh best out of it.
There are too many custom ROM's available now.. Who teh heck wants official updates?
If u don't want these custom ROM's, XDA isn't a right place for u ...!
Why teh hell are u here ..!?
May be u'd change u're opinion after u flash u're ROM to teh custom ROM's available here. Give it a try

We hope. 1 Month left until they apparently release it.
But I disagree with the OP. I like the small size, good battery life of this phone. I don't use if for gaming, and to be honest, if I needed a mobile gaming machine I'd get a PSP.
This phone has just the right amount of power so that it performs well and has good battery life.
I think you're fighting a losing battle in the Galaxy 3 section!

if you don't like this phone, sell it.
many people love the galaxy 3, and barqers already said it, but you're fighting a losing battle

Phone for that price is OK, but maintenance from Samsung is piece of crap, that is problem.

This is an awesome phone....
You must know what your phone is capable of before buying it. Expect only what you pay for

if u r looking for a gaming phone then wait for sony ericsson's playstation phone
the G3 is a a phone which puts software over hardware and even so without a graphics accelerator it performs several HD games like fifa (from gameloft!!) amazingly well!!!
try to use a phone within its capabilities
(i myself personally find it as a good tricorder!!)

Listen m8 sell the phone l'm sick of people like you who want a high-end device for 200€.What's your problem man???

Hi!

Well, just bought an x10, it didnt came yet, should arive tomorrow. My last phone was an galaxy5800, that i gave up because of the poor graphics capabilities.
Now, im a bit scared about x10, i saw so many angry customers, that i came here to have a view of people that didnt had biggest issues with phone to know what you think about it...
First i dont think an official 2.2 or 2.3 will be a problem for me, since on my first day on galaxy5800 i updated to froyo. besides that, what you guys would say about the phone?
batery lasts? its good for hd games? runs psx4droid smooth? sound quality is good? touchscreen sensitivy is decent?
well i think this is what matters for me
thanks for any feedback!

I wouldn't describe the touch sensitivity as decent - its barely passable.
Yes to all your other questions though

damn, i tough it would not be a problem. the galaxy5800 uses tft capacitive too, and it rocks, "almost" touching the display activates the touch, tough on x10, using the same technlology would be no problem

just one more thing, im already ready to flash the phone to 2.2 when it arives, instaled and read everything needed. but in my older phone i had some problems with some games like raging thunder2, that didnt worked anyway after flashing.
everything will run on a 2.2 on x10?
thanks again

2.2 is basiccly same as 2.1 ( thanks to zdzihu ) exept it has more stuff like flash, ect. and everything works just fine. though you wont be able to play First person shooters normally because xpeia x10 has the multitouch bug....

Decline the package when it comes. Get another android device. Sony Ericsson ****d us on this device. Get a phone that gets Android 2.3/2.4. And a device with real multi touch capabilities.
If you want a device that is secured future updates don't get this.

the devs here havent fully unlocked it so some things are missing. Such as wifi tethering, full 16 mill colour screen, etc and it'll take longer to port firmware as they have to use the 2.1 update as a base. Currently the Camcorder only works with an external app with the 2.2 we have now and it wont have high detail recording. 2.3 doesnt have the camera currently but it will soon.
Things would speed up dramatically if we actually got a 2.2 update but the bootloader is locked down tight. Personally if i was you i would return it and get something like a HTC desire or something.

Depends what you want from the device. Since the bootloader is still locked, there's only so much you can do with it. But the super devs here at xda managed to get some custom roms working. I'm guessing you don't care much for the Sony ericsson UI, so the lack of support shouldn't be that much of an issue for you. Hardware wise, it is more than capable of running games smoothly, only problem is the multitouch issue described by others

Stupid sony ericsson could learn from other companies and just give us the bootloader...

with all these comments, im thinking in taking a galaxy s, at least try to, as i dont know if they will accept the phone back, and i will spend more money, that i dont have...
any chance of multitouch getting fixed? i heard there is a new update for multitouch comming soon

We've got dualtouch. Sort of works, but it won't get better than it is now.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App

Don't let the comments get you down though it is an awesome phone, and the touchscreen it's great side from the dual touch bugs.. You can still play many games even with dual touch, like gangstar, jet car stunts, and a lot of other really fun games! With froyo on it the phone is fast and responsive, and flash works perfectly..
It's a good purchase that I don't regret, needless to say I won't get another phone from se as their update policy and business ethic is shady at best, but I still think the x10 is a good phone.. I got mine used for 200 though, so definitely no complaints about that haha

well... gonna try to switch for an galaxy s... lets see what happens, thanks everyone

Knowing all the facts in hindsight, I would not purchase an X10 at this stage of the game. While I love my X10, SE doesn't anymore. Unless you get a new phone every 6 months, you will be kicking yourself in a year when everyone else is getting the latest technology. Smartphones turn into dinosaurs faster than PC's.

thanks for the positive feedback, at least if i didnt manage to exchange the phone, im not so afraid right now.
But man, im so disapointed with cellphones.. let me tell a short story:
i did never care for cellphones, and saw psx4droid. bought an galaxy 5800 to play games, and even with the best processor (667) on the price range it sucks on games ( it doesnt have gpu) .
i spent a lot more on that than i could. a oportunity apeared, and i decided to take a better phone, since i sold mine for almost the same price i paid. now, my x10 didnt arived yet, and im very disapointed with it, thinking on spending more money.. i can say, whatever phone i take, i hope it lasts, because will be the last time i spend money on a phone

If it's emulators you're after, get FPse it is easily the best playstation emulator! Then get the program wiimote controller and you can get passed the dual touch bug by using a wiimote controller through bluetooth

How emotionally 'attached' are you to your X10?

A bit of a weird topic, but I got thinking today...
The X10 is my first smartphone I've ever had, before that I had a tough as nails Samsung SGH-E180, which was one of those cheap 100 dollar phones. I fell in love with the X10 after seeing my friend use one, and without even looking at the competition bought one.
And I love it to this day. Thanks to the devs at XDA, my X10 is the fastest smartphone out of all my friends (who have Desire HDs, iPhones etc) and wherever I go I get a few looks at my phone from strangers, because of it's sexiness .
Once I met another X10 owner on the subway and when we saw that we both had X10s, we had like this manly nod of approval. It was awesome.
Anyway, how much value do you hold your X10? How emotionally attached are you to it? I don't think I'll ever get rid of this phone, when I get a new one I'll probably pass it down to my brother, but I don't think I'd have the guts to get rid of the phone that brought me to the wonderful world of smartphones.

Im the same as you... The X10 is the first smartphone ive had.... and YES... i still see Sony Ericsson phones as SEXY.... damn.... if I could only upgrade the internal hardware on my X10... Id never ever replace it..... Iphone maniacs drool when they see me play Fruit Ninja or Angry Birds While playing a song on my X10..... plus. my phone looks sexier... I love my phone now... I used to doubt it back then.... (1.6) but now... I think different.

I don't think I would be as attached as I am if it weren't for the 2.1 update fiasco with AT&T and the ride Sony Ericsson took us with on Android updates and multitouch. All of which got me addicted to xda, the xda app, Android, and most of all...my X10.

Phone sucks so I got a better one. Selling my X10 and never looking back.!

I love my x10. I got an xplay now and before I bought the xplay I was thinking of using the x10 as a battery charger and use the x10 battery as a backup battery for the xplay, but I just can't bare to see the x10 switched off.
I now keep the x10 next to my bed charged and use it every now and again with WiFi

I too am the same. It is my first smartphone and I love it. To be honest, with the custom Tom's, I far prefer the x10 to my dads DHD. For some reason the x10 is just comfortable and feels good in the hands. My Gf and brother have iPhones and they get jealous (and mildly irritated) whenever I show them new features that they do not and most likely never will have. (I particularly like emailing my brother links to flash websites haha)
I don't think I could let this phone go even if I do upgrade. I too will give it to my little brother
Sent from my X10i using XDA App

well, same as u. i love my X10. but i will change it to HTC after working.
It's due to working purpose. ( cox going to play stock market)
if compare x10 to HTC incredible S or desire HD or sensation.. i think HTC will probably work higher performance than x10 ><

I love the device.
But the way SE treats it makes me hate them.
The x10 is capable of so much but is being treated so badly by SE it hurts.
I mostly feel the damage in my wallet.
But the x10 is really cool and not too bad for my first android device.
It has taught me a lot about android.

If I were rich, I'd be changing phones like underwear.

I lol'd so hard.
On topic though, i do like my phone very much, even more after finding out about xda, even with a non functioning usb hub.

I was that attached to the X10 that I gave it to my girlfriend and bought a nexus s..
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App

I honestly do not like this phone as a whole. I only got this cause it was cheap. When possible, I'm gonna switch to another phone. For now, custom ROMs and tweaks will keep me busy.

Im not I only went with x10 as I got it at a reduced price, I prefer the Desire HD but could not afford that, I love the speed of the unit compared to my HTC Magic. but this is the last of a long line of smartphones so I am not blinded by the virgin user wow.
The hardware buttons annoy me and constantly turn the phone on, the flap on the usb REALLY winds me up and why it has the usb at the top.
Would swap without hesitation for a desire HD, so no emotional attachment for me

Very much until I found out mine had a problem with the motherboard overheating. Now it's pretty much nothing since I'm pretty happy now with my Motorola Atrix

Well the x10 was my first smartphone and I loved it. But I eventually got bored and I now have an inspire and have never looked back!

If you don't like, love or cherish your x10, then you are probably using it wrong

Quite a lot. I mean I sent it for the repair. It's been 9 days now and i missed it sooo much!
I was walking around the mall checking out iPhone 4, Xperia Arc, LG Optimus 2x etcetera etcetera and i say to myself 'nah I love my x10 i can wait'
Maybe it's because this is my first Smartphone =3

On a scale of 1 - 10
I would be around 9.
I am very emotionally attached to my x10.
I would consider that it is my very first smartphone (but i used asus windows phone 6.5)
I bought the x10 the first day it came out and went through a series of emotion with it. The year 2010 was a wild ride for me and this phone is a sign of these emotions.
If I were to lose this phone, I would be very sad.
I can get quite emo

Funny that we have posts in this thread from people who have gotten rid of their X10 because they were not attached to it, yet they are still browsing the X10 forums?????

Would swap it for an arc in a heartbeat, simply for the better screen responsivity and smoothness

Goodbye xperia play!

Its been quite a ride with the Xperia play, but unfortunately it hasn't been that good.
When i first got it i packed it to the brim with games. All gameloft ones like backstab, NOVA... stuff like that. Of course i was the first one to have one in my college, *****es love xperias
After a while i noticed that the buttons and the slider werent as strong as they used to be, i disregarded it but it became worse and worse. I take amazing care of all my phones, i can't really remember a time when i've dropped one! And hell, i wouldnt even put my phone on a flat surface because i worry about grit underneath it xD
Eventually we got root, this bought life back into the phone but as i am simlocked, no unlocked bootloader for me... Also we didn't get that many "good" games. Apart from gameloft ones and some EA ones... However i mostly played LSD and some other ps1 titles on fpse
At about this point me (and im sure a few of you) realised that this phone is going... nowhere. Its not quite the "Playstation phone" i thought it would be.
So now... its going. Im going to go back to my motorola defy and stay there for a while.

well, i'm not trying to make you keep the phone. If you wanna buy another one, do it

Yeah man, go ahead and change your phone, the Xperia PLAY is my first smartphone...
and I got it almost for free on a cheap 18 month plan.
So far it has not let me down on anything... and I currently more games than I can actually play, and with the emulators currently available is almost a non-limited game source.
However if I decide to change my phone, the only one available in Mexico better than the PLAY is the Galaxy S2... but no way, I will fit a humoungous phone like that on my pocket, also the price is a big step up, and I will surely miss my dedicated game pad... So there's no way out for me just yet (not that Im looking for one)
Currently I feel like the slider part is a bit more loose and the X button is more difficult to press on time (is like it is a little bit more "pressed" than the other ones), but no BIG issue just yet... I still have 10 months under warranty, so I can change it later for a new one and sell it $$$.
Im concerned too about where is this phone going, but I will gladly wait, because there is no better option for me right now.
We will miss a you as a PLAY user, because there more of us in here the more support we can get from DEVs and SE.

What does the defy offer that you don't get from play? You gotta be kidding.. Going with Motorola's lmao

You gave up before the main application - "Playstation Suite" was even released yet.

Its been quite a ride with the Xperia play, but unfortunately it hasn't been that good.
When i first got it i packed it to the brim with games. All gameloft ones like backstab, NOVA... stuff like that. Of course i was the first one to have one in my college, *****es love xperias
After a while i noticed that the buttons and the slider werent as strong as they used to be, i disregarded it but it became worse and worse. I take amazing care of all my phones, i can't really remember a time when i've dropped one! And hell, i wouldnt even put my phone on a flat surface because i worry about grit underneath it xD
Eventually we got root, this bought life back into the phone but as i am simlocked, no unlocked bootloader for me... Also we didn't get that many "good" games. Apart from gameloft ones and some EA ones... However i mostly played LSD and some other ps1 titles on fpse
At about this point me (and im sure a few of you) realised that this phone is going... nowhere. Its not quite the "Playstation phone" i thought it would be.
So now... its going. Im going to go back to my motorola defy and stay there for a while.

I think someone expects too much. Honestly, I've found this phone to have lots of life in it, and it's not exactly going nowhere, what with all the development going on by people on this very website. Yeah locked bootloader sucks and yeah it would be nice to have a fix released today but to just give up after a couple months because you aren't getting exactly what you want...well, maybe you need to get out more, see how life really works.
Suck it up muffin, or leave in silence.

slider and button problems already? jeez what have you been doing to your phone? I bought mine shortly after it was released and it's still good as new.
and yes, games don't come overnight. patience is indeed a virtue. also, your phone choices are a mismatch.. Xperia Play against Defy? OMFG it's ridiculous

my missus has the defy and the only reason she has it is because she is a dozy bint who treats a phone like makeup, pop it in the bag and sling it on the floor when it's needed.
that's why it's the perfect phone for her but other than that it's ****e.
it's your choice what you do, not sure why you feel the need to let us all know though, not sure anybody cares?

It'd be nice of you to fulfill your bounty pledge

I am glad the people who have no patience are leaving and getting **** phones in comparison.
Like people who go from Android to iphone are so fail.
Less whinging here if all the the complainers change phones because they couldn't wait. Some phones don't ever get updates

I think some people are expecting to much. This is a phone after all not a dedicated gaming device.
The Xplay plays all the same games any other phone you get will do but other phones dont have gaming controls this is what it comes down to (for me anyways ). I cannot see how you would want to trade playing emulators + fpse with real controls for crappier gaming...
Even without root and an unlocked bootloader this phone still has alot going for it, no other phone can offer the gaming experience this phone offers and it does the job as a phone well in my opinion.
You may just be unluckly but i hammer my gaming pad and slider and i have even droped it once and its still seems fine.
You have warranty/insurance right? Well whats the problem if it breaks get it replaced...

yh this phones annoys the f out of me but its still under devolpment u wont find a better game phone becouse proper games aint been made yet

Why is everyone trying to flame replicant for trying to open a discussion on the pro's and con's of the device, and the reason why he has decided to sell it??
This is the whole point of xda, people share there experiences and ideas, Have you ever though that a thread like this where people express there feelings about a device is usefull for people who are undecided about weather to buy the play or not.
How are people ment to make an informed decision when the first time someone says something bad about your precious device, all you fanboys jump on them like a group of thugs ... pathetic

your a **** shutup

Classic
Anyways i hear you androhero, hate the flaming when people is all but praise and good saying about a device wether it's here or another forum

The problem with posting this kind of opinion in this forum is that, if it's wrong, you're not giving any valuable information, and if you're right, you're just telling people they're a bunch.of losers for.buying this phone.
This thread belongs in a general Android thread where it can actually be read by.people considering the Play. In here, you can assume that everyone has the phone and you risk this kind of response.
