My friend work for google and the have an upgrade station. He uograde 2.2 on his nexus one. Wifi, tethering etc..
Can I send my x10 to him and upgrade to 2.2?
I'm afraid not. Unless SE release an Froyo based OS upgrade or the device gets rooted, you won't be getting 2.2 on your x10.
not before the device is rooted which is not possible till now
i think major upgrade getting 2.2 (froyo) for xperia x10
it will be released during this month so it may strongly be the next update i think
SE have confirmed 2.1... they've made no comment about 2.2... despite public pressure!!.. who knows.. they may be persuaded..

This is possible but only if SE it allows!!Or we get Root!!
hmm...well the root bounty is at $890 and still nothing, either its impossible or not high enough
Is it possible that Sony can somehow decouple UX from the main andriod os? If they did, wouldn't it make it a lot easier to bring out the FroYo update? They said that they will continue to support the X10 so we may eventually see FroYo.
This device just doesn't seem to be as popular as the HTC's (probably due to the controversy over MT e.t.c and SE's track record). I think thats the reason we havent seen root.
SE are selling this phone with TimeScape and MediaScape and I can't see them dropping those two apps, which according to them are main selling points of this phone.
If they were to drop their two apps in favour of an updated OS we would receive faster updates I.e.2.1 and 2.2.
I personally would drop both TS and MS in favour of 2.1 and 2.2.
SE have only confirmed 2.1 in Q4. They have mentioned the 2.2 for the x10.
I'm sure they will announce the x10's successor by then.
Mediascape's pretty good, but I don't know anyone who uses Timescape...Just eats up battery.
yh media scape is great, timescape is just a waste.
+1 Looks great at the promotion videos but it's useless (for me at least).

I'm using timescape (not as home screen).
Is nice to have everything in one place.
I know, you can't update a status, etc but at least i have all the info one tap away.
I don't have to open the email, twitter, facebook or messenger to check what's new.
I hope they will give as a manual or something to write our own modules.
I would love to have there the engadget feed

Already dicsussed in another thread ..sorry guys ..wasnt there when i last refreshed.
Bit overexcited i guess
beat me to it haha
I still want to know if the next update is based on 2.1 or 2.2
If its true then really great.
Would have been nice to have seen some pictures of it.
yes they have. i love it! sony ftw!
Awesome news!
is there an official release date yet?
thats a bad news i think - it confirms - no gbread for x10
That was what i was afraid of, FroYo means no Gingerbread :/
But i'm going to probably find a way to do an upgrade to one of SE's newly announced handsets with Rogers as i'm sure they'll carry at least one of them.
Wow. Re-read the engadget liveblog. It says this:
4:51PM They keep showing the Xperia X10 on the screen. Now shown: a Froyo upgrade for the Xperia X10. UPDATE: This was a terrible joke, ruined by a typo. It was supposed to say "Not shown." Our apologies -- liveblogging is a rough game.
Xperia X10 = No Froyo? I don't know. I will bet XDA Devs will make a fully Functioning/working Froyo Rom before SE does.

Yes this was a typo! No 2.2!
ok so its still up in the air
but this could be a good thing we may still get gignerbread
you wait til MWC 2011
yes i hope for froyo, still beter then get stuck on eclair, i know there i custom rom but it is based on eclair kernel so it is great news, i hope they will enable doubletouch, 16m colors and acces to full RAM(360MB or something).
4:51PM They keep showing the Xperia X10 on the screen. Now shown: a Froyo upgrade for the Xperia X10.

Updated statement from Engadget about Froyo on X10 in CES cant be true! do we have Horn?
Compare:
1- Now shown: a Froyo upgrade for the Xperia X10
2- Not shown: a Froyo upgrade for the Xperia X10 (Updated)
if statment 2 be true:
- statement 2 means that Engadget had known that X10 must be upgrade to Froyo
I think SE wants Engadget to change their statement.
I hope that there will be a 2.2 update. But at the same time i don't care if it will not come as long as my mobile is working well and doing what its supposed to do.

This is bad news indeed.. all the time it was just a typo !! Hopefully someone else at CES would be able to scoop on the status of X10 - (Abandoned/Hope/In the Game)
wow i was getting extremely excited. I hope atleast the update 2 brings back the old messaging app and the light blue wallpaper no the current dark blue one.
damn it! i had my hopes high now they ruined it!
The Android 2.3.3 update has already started to roll out in certain regions as reported yesterday. HDBlog.it is reporting that Italian users will see the Android 2.3.3 update in June (our guess would be next week), which is when it is most likely to roll out to other European countries.
Interestingly, they report that the Android 2.3.4 update will hit the new Xperia handsets in October. We can’t verify this for sure, but HDBlog.it says the information comes direct from Sony Ericsson Italy. Android 2.3.4 will introduce video chat in Google Talk as well as Google Maps 5.1 with 3D, Voice Search 2.1.1 with Voice Actions and personalized voice search, and the latest version of Google Books.

What does 2.3.4 offer new?
Visio in gtalk...
But we don't have face camera on Arc
Can't we already upgrade those Google apps? I'm looking forward to improvements in the OS itself. Any?
Mmm,i dont need facebook issues,but really need less camera compression..
good news indeed
Hope they sort out the wifi issues.
This is just a rumour. Nothing official until we hear it from SE.
IMO there's not much in 2.3.4 worth getting excited over on top of 2.3.3, we dont have a front facing camera, and we can already get the latest versions of google apps on the market.
More interesting would be any performance improvements, bugfixes and enhancements that also get incorporated into the new firmware.
first of all let countries such as INDIA get the 2.3.3 update and then maybe we can think about 2.3.4. its really frustrating to know that we are just left like that when ohter countries are getting it and not us.
This is just my opinion
Waiting for 2.3.4 even Arc no face camera i want to try vision on Gtalk
Sony Ericsson slow as usual. SE X10 mini was the last phone I ever bought and would never buy Sony again. They might leave you in middle and reply " sorry Dear customers, we have limited resources, Please be patient"

I don't think they are slow anymore. Arc was first phone with 2.3 after Nexus S.. And SE is as fast as other manufactors to deliever 2.3.3 to Arc..

A friend told me that Desire HD got 2.3.3 before the Arc... couldn't find a date anywhere, though. Not that it really matters, but has anyone more information on this?
Yes it did.. But arc got 2.3 before everything else (apart from nexus s)..
Sent from The arc using XDA premium..
I see, did mix up 2.3.3 and 2.3 then. Thanks. ^^
It brings support for dual core processors, but that's hardly of much use to the Arc.
Look forward to it
2.3.4 offers classic videocall?
I just want the wifi bug fixed.
According to SE blog Gingerbread is delayed in August:
http://blogs.sonyericsson.com/products/2011/06/20/update-on-gingerbread-for-xperia™-x10/
While this is a bad news for X10 owners they have some excuses:
"...March most of the 2011 XperiaTM software functionality from e.g. XperiaTM arc will be included. The UI with the desktop layout and pinch-to-overview gesture will be similar and Gingerbread features like Wi-Fi & USB tethering, App storage on SD-card etc are included. Also the customizable horizontal app tray and the media experience widgets from the 2011 XperiaTM Products are in, including an integrated equalizer in the music player. Of course also apps that require Android versions 2.2 or 2.3 will now be possible to download from Android Market, e.g. Adobe flash."
August is not so far away so let's see. I am not o pressed anymore as I have also my Arc

I just checked the blog out too. I wonder, why the delay? I see the mobile will become a hotspot, tethering they are allowing. Is it compatible software on SE's end?
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
the reason was explained in the blog and the discussion is happening in the gingerbread update discussion thread.
I actually had faith in SE, but now they've delayed their update I don't care what device they will bring in the future. Also the only improvement of our devs their roms will be the camera. I will move to HTC (Only if they get a nice design) or else I will go to Samsung. They said it's planned for end Q2/begin Q3. August is not the begin but middle of Q3!! I'm very dissapointed as SE customer and I spend my damn money on this phone that will not even kept as updated as a Arc would be.
1.5 years left, and I can finally say Hello to HTC/Samsung and bye SE. I don't care what ever they say, they promised fast updates. Well I see, months of work and still a late release then promised. Also, great customer service. NOT, they can't even reply to your questions, and mostly in a NORMAL way without typefaults.

Agreed they have always been full of crap they promised us features then later retracted statements
Ill never make the mistake of buying a SE. again
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
And we needed a separate thread for this to remind us about the delay every time we look in general section right?
This was the final push. I am buying a new phone now.Not a SE.
Closing this thread cause there is already a gingerbread thread stickied
http://blogs.sonyericsson.com/produ...eat-news-about-our-latest-gingerbread-update/
Upgrade at a glance:
Xperia™ smartphones to be upgraded to the 2.3.4 version of the Gingerbread platform with new features including Google Talk with Video Chat for smartphones with front-facing cameras
Updated Facebook inside Xperia™ functionality for enhanced like, share and discover abilities
Xperia™ smartphones introducing world’s first 3D sweep panorama functionality powered by Sony.
The software upgrade enables consumers to turn their Xperia smartphone into a mini-mobile PC by connecting USB peripherals (mouse, keyboard or game controller) to Sony Ericsson LiveDock™ multimedia station. Connect the smartphone to a TV via HDMI to get a big screen experience.
Swipe text input - text input by swiping the finger from one letter to the next
Screen capture - allows the user to share a screen grab from anywhere in the phone
Just hope Swype will be not the only keyboard. I don't want it.
Great for screen capture.
What means
...will start the roll out during October at select markets.
Is this meaning that it will start in October on some markets and will follow other markets in next months?

Go Sony Ericsson!
Everyone saying they'd slack on updates like they did with the X10 series is now horribly wrong We're getting nice new features all the bloody time with these updates!
http://youtu.be/ejP-zWWei3I -> Video with even more new stuff!
Native screenshots!
Its nice with the new update, I for one like the USB on the Go thing with LiveDock(TM) station. So now I can pretend I have a Nokia Communicator 9100i again, writing mail, documents and calendar tasks on a small keyboard while traveling. ha ha ha!
Sony panorama, swype and screen capture, we already have with 3rd party apps.
Wow.great.can't wait.hope no delay.bravo xperia

AFAIK it's the app which has to be installed on PC also.
Not sure why SE announces so early. Why not just wait and announce plus release it at the same time?
Thought it would be already upgrade to Xperia neo, but it seems a downgrade instead.

I makes sense as the new firmware is announced with new features on the comming phone models. I am sure everyone would complain if SonyEricsson had not promised to release this for the existing phone models like our Xperia Arc.
I can just imagine how the discussion would be instead, everyone complaining that SE is not delivering the new firmware to the Xperia Arc etc. It is also bad that they promise to deliver the same firmware to our xperia arcs that they include in the new phones
I am very happy to hear they are continuing to deliver new firmwares with extra functionality this frequent to our "old" arcs. Keeping even new models with allmost the same hardware specifications makes it much easier to continue to develop and improve the firmware which will work on all of the phones. Our Arcs might beging to be left behind when alle the new phone models are released with more powerfull hardware.

The camera is a bit smaller but you do get a 3D like screen and hdmi out. To me it sounds like an upgrade and the 5MP might even deliver as good or maybe even better pictures than the current 8MP camera especially if they have improved the optics as well. Lets wait an see until we see the first reviews how the camera performs.

The Neo V is supposed to be a even cheaper version of the Neo, with the update the Neo is better.

You're totally wrong. As it's been said before, the only difference is the camera. Because of the Japan Earthquake Sony is having difficulties producing the Exmor R-sensors, so the Neo V is just a regular Neo without the Exmor R sensor. It's just a cheaper Neo. There is nothing better abuot the Neo V.
Looking forward to this update, in particular the 3D panorama shot. Glad that SE are continuing to release updates like this.
Now if only they would include Smart Dial........
Doesn't seem like much of an update comparing to what we've got with the latest FW. I'm not really looking forward to seeing this one on my arc, but I'm okay with it. Maybe if they add some more features... I hope they will, it's still a month or two until the release.

Are you serious? I mean, you don't have to go mad about the update, but still. You can't expect a lot of new features every update... We're pretty lucky to see so many things getting added at all really. How many manufacturers add so many features to a device after release?
But okay, everyone their opinion. What would you like to see in the next few updates then?
