Android 2.1 - XPERIA X10 General

To all of you that's been anxiously waiting for the android 2.1 firmware upgrade, I just finished talking with a sony rep and they have plans to start rolling out the update by the end of October. So hopefully in a couple of weeks we should start seeing some updates for this phone. I don't know about anbody else, but, I'm not pleased at all with 1.6 at the moment.

You have waited two years to tell us something we already know? It was your first post and you should have waited to at least tell us some good news.
There is already a thread for 2.1 news which you should have posted there.

Oooooooh yournot pleased with 1.6????? SO????? Who cares??? I personally think the x10 is a great phone, it does everything I need it to do, from satnav (co pilot) to reading me ebooks (moon+ reader), im sick and tired of people slagging a phone off just because of the firmware, I had a G1 on day of release and that was android V1, my son still uses said G1 and its still a great phone, some people should really get a life

While the X10 only runs 1.6 its still far nicer than my nexus one running 2.2 (froyo) well when I had my nexus one anyways lol.

Any link ?
The question is WHERE will they release it ? I live in Indonesia and here wasnt a single update yet :-( so maybe it's for Nordic Firmware only again.
I have a cousin who is working in SE and he said to me today that thing. That's why i know that...

Mod edit: not dev related, moved to general
yeah, i'm in the united states, will there be an update over here?
erm SE already said this 2-3 weeks ago lol, typical!!
They said this about 3 weeks ago:
"I would also like to emphasise that there will be an additional smaller software update, already in the next couple of weeks aiming to enhance the usability and performance of Xperia™ X10. "
Link
and now, 2 or 3 more weeks to go? huh
Same same... SE slow as hell - lots of talk, no action...
X10 will be my last SE phone, coz i hate this company so much. They don't even care about their customers.
It will be update for 1.6 not upgrade to 2.1 . . .

No they haven't, it said the next 'couple of weeks' from May 5th originally, however that would have placed the update last week. But reading it from today 'next couple of weeks' is nearer the truth.
lol, that is what they said 3 weeks ago, we will be lucky if we even get 2.1 this year.
New Firmware has heading to China

I can understand the dissapointment, i am to waiting for the uppgrade but still, SE is only doing what everyone else does. Like microsoft, blizzard etc, they just want to make sure everything is working 100% before release. If that meens breaking deadline then so be it.. i want a noticeable upgrade/update rather then some fast coffybreak job!

SE puts out a great phone that everyone knew had Android 1.6 on it, it then goes and says that it will update to Andorid 2.1 by the end of the year with the addition of HD video recording, and during the week that Froyo is released it states that it will update to later versions of Android after the 2.1 release. Yet people still decide to "hate" them and they claim to know that SE will never upgrade past 2.1 (despite SE's continued claims throughout the X10 development process that the phone will get updated during its useful life, and that this will be a break from the past). Despite all of this people "hate" them and will "never trust them again" etc. SE has not broken any promise to me regarding the X10 and all these prepubescent tantrums regarding Android 2.1 and 2.2 are just soooo annoying.

I agree with you. Back to HTC.
The only great thing about this phone is support from XDA developers.

I support this fully...stop yapping about the phone not having 2.1..you allready knew this when you purchased your phone. It will come in due time. Im super happy with my phone regardless of the OS version!

2.1 news

I heard today from a guy at a local store, that he heard from an inside source of SE that the reasons the update is takibg long is because they devepoperw are having lag issues caused by the increase in color denisity (65 thou to 16m), theyr working on optimizing hd recording where thyr trying to get higher fpses as well as optimization regarding 720p playback... other improvments that he mentioned where problems known in 1.6 such as low incall volume as well as the poor battery perfomance...and that the update might be posponed to late q4............ this is not an official source so its possible that some of he said if not all wasnt true i just hope the update will be worth the wait
I will be crushed if I have to wait till end of Q4
2.1 is outdated now , we need 2.2 like the rest of other devices
sony should do it fast there is lot of competition in the market like desire,xdroid etc
They should release what they have and fix any issues with updates.

Lemme tell ya, coming from a nexus one running 2.2 I was not impressed with it compared to 2.1. froyo was supposed to be such a big deal and to me nothing really changed. I'm Perfectly happy with my x10 now and ill be happier with 2.1....more so than I was with my nexus one with froyo.
That are bad news hope they will not come true. But on15.September HTC releases his desire hd. As soon as it is to buy here I will order it.
I'm wondering if I will get first 2.1 or the desire hd ?
Sent from my X10i using Tapatalk
Q4 now?
So I guess it's confirmed for release in early 2011. Can't wait.
Wow late quarter 4. Now sony is taking the piss if this is true.
They should skip SE customization in the first release and release with stock Android 2.2 without wasting more time to solve issues with their 2.1 release.
If this is true and 2.1 come end of Q4, it will only make SE look even worse than coming out with 1.6 now. By then all new Androids will probably already come with 3.0.

but lots of apps are changing their supprt to froyo including flashplayer and crome to phone , and using benchmark it indicates abig improvement in speed over 2.1
Nothing official yet anyway. Still looking at end of September. They would be shooting themselves in the foot by delaying, especially in light of the at&t release.

So, if I told you a story about how some dude on the subway today was like "The update for 2.1 was delayed until Q2 2011" would you believe me?
Not exciting. All hearsays. I'm already desensitized.
why are people bothered about the SE 2.1 when we have some of the best dev's known on the task of getting us to 2.2???
dont live your lifes waiting for a SE 2.1 as chances are you will get more and more wound up about it.
I think Sony Ericsson should just release a clean Android 2.1/2.2 for our device and then later on one with their custom UI and let the users decide what type they want on their device in the future.

Another comfirmation from sonyericssonUK twitter. ''@Dacihappymaker Hi David, The upgrade to Android 2.1 is due for release before the end of quarter 3 this year. We hope this helps.''

Dell Streak is living in stone age?

I think i wont be wrong if i say this " Dell streak is living in stone age"
coz Google's Android platform turns 3, Gingerbread due on 11 November
and where we are
Factory Shipment:1.6
Update:2.1
Dj Steve Unofficial :2.2
Official Update 2.2: Sorry i havent got my cristal ball with me today
cheers
agreed the software is behind. But the hardware is right on par. To me the more important thing is the hardware - because the software can be upgraded (as seen with Steve's Froyo).
I too was skeptic about not having a recent update to Android on this device. Regardless this device is miles ahead of my old Touch Pro 2. 2.2 is coming and I'm sure there's a lot of behind-the-scenes legal mumbo-jumbo responsible for the schedule. Dell is new to the smartphone game and I'm sure there's a learning curve.
Anyone on XDA is probably here for the same reason. We want the BEST for our phones, but, waiting on carriers to release updated roms is like waiting for paint to dry.
The suits in charge of the carriers probably have to have a dozen or more meetings before they release an update, if they even update it at all.
Another reason I think the carriers should get out of the hardware business and
just be a provider. Yes, probably more headaches trying to make everything compatible, but just look at the Asian markets, and the numerous options they have for hardware. What to the states get? A few phones a year.
1.6 came out about a year ago, the streak was probably slated for its release then. its amazing the small gaps between major software releases from google. im just hoping froyo for the streak comes out before gingerbread does. i like knowing my device runs on the latest and greatest, even if its only for a day.
I for 1 was happy it came with 1.6 it gave me chance to play with 1.6 and 2.1 and next is 2.2 and after 3.0 so in my eyes its like haveing 4 different devices

In fact if you change the launcher you can barely notice the differences between the Android versions.
I started with adw and have more recently been playing with launcher pro.
Except flash, wifi hotbot, new gmail in 2.2 ;-)

Desire hd official 2.3 up date

Any news on 2.3 coming from HTC? Any leaks etc. Google is only bringing up news from 2 months ago.
Phones on voda UK any news or release times would be great. Thanks very much

Sadly there is no news.
HTC have not released a statement saying if they will release Gingerbread for the DHD.
Obviously, with the DHD being their flagship handset, in Europe at least, an update should be due. Probably 2 months away though, HTC have to pollute it with Sense, carriers have to bloat & brand it. The Nexus One has yet to receive it, and there is no carrier branding.
If you really can't wait that long, install CM7.
Thanks for the info mate.
Well that's what I was thinking , being a flagship handset you would think they would try and get it out to compete fully with nexus s.
I am thinking about it however last time I rooted the h boot failed , ain't tried since.
Would like to keep to HTC as this is the second one iv had but the amount of problems iv had with this phone combined with slow up date times make it hard to not move to a I5 in the summer when its released.

. If you is not a problem, would I could tell what is new in the use made CM7. It may sound stupid but one thing is what it says and the other is how it behaves in the use of ROM.
I am interested in particular video, how much fps is in full use?
Sorry I really don't know what you mean. Could you try to explain?
Someone really needs to Sticky a thread like this to stop everyone asking this

THe Gingerbread 2.3 has started in UK

FYI
For those who missed it
Remember a Kies update was pushed 10 days ago (for those who actually use it)
Well the UK has been getting the 2.3 JVO version update for the last 4 days
http://www.techwafer.com/2011/05/18...-upgrade-for-samsung-galaxy-s-and-galaxy-tab/
Also the source code for GB was posted on the http://opensource.samsung.com/ ..... for the gt-9000 (euro galaxy phone)
Who knows when we will get it......... here in the USA
Wasn't there a thread a couple of minutes ago about a supposed official announcement from Samsung about GB on Vibrant? Was it deleted?
Anyway, As was already announced in the recent conference, we should be getting GB by the end of this month so...
all galaxy s series?
include T-mobile vibrant?
did it state vibrant?
The whole SGS line is getting 2.3, just the North America variants later than the I9000. The SGS of the article is the I9000.
The international version of SGS has no provider crapware. This is why they get updated ahead of the T959. I don't think TMO will let it out because if it does, their new android phones will not sell. Why would you want to buy a new phone that has 2.2 when you can have 2.3 on a already powerful enough, georgous looking phone?

True but I with the new enforced Google decisions on Android updates , that T-Mobile was part off, I can't see them delaying this any longer. We'll see the official GB by the end of this month me thinks.

End of this month? I doubt it.
Next month? Probably greater chances.
They give about 1-2Weeks of OTA/Kies updates usually.. so yep
well considering for 2.2 sprint was rumored to get it first, then all of a sudden t-mobile came out of no where with the update first. That's what i'm hoping will happen with 2.3. Sprint already has some leaked builds of 2.3 for the epic so we can only hope. But definitely should see it by the end of this month. If not we should harass google.
as i said before most of us will be on sg2 or hercules or other phones before we get gingerbread..the funny thing is i might be right
Wow I've been running gingerbread for almost 2 months now.
That's okay though when it does finally officially get released or even leaked for Vibrant we'll have every last bug out of Simply Honey while most others are just starting to dev on GB.

Speculating on when we are going to get Gingerbread officially from samsung is pointless, it will happen when it happens. Until then we should just continue supporting our devs that have been working so hard to bring us 90% working gingerbread roms such as Simply Honey, Asgard, or CM7, and any others I may have forgotten.
