Hello,
I write from Italy but in a few days I will move to China (Shanghai) for an entire year.
I know that from China is not possible to access to Facebook. I also know that Xperia X10 is currently sold in China, too. But... how does it happen to Facebook updates in TimeScape and all the other syncronizations with this social network if it is not available?
If I use my X10, what should I expect / notice?
Thanks a lot to who will reply
use vpn

Hi,
thanks to both for the kind reply!
How can I use VPN with my X10? I don't know any detail about it!
it's very easy to buy vpn access in local market. can you speak or read Chinese?
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Ehm nope I just can read, write and understand a few about Chinese. At the moment, I have only attended a two-months basic course!
there is a very popular online shop called taobao(www.taobao.com) in China. a lot of vpn providers sell their product there. you could ask your friends in China to help you buy it. the cost is about RMB 20-30/month with unlimited usage. then what you need to do is to follow the guidance the seller instructs.

Hello,
can anyone suggest me a VPN service wich offer an english-written webpage and works for China?
I need a connection able to work both from PC and from my X10 Android smartphone...
Thank you!!
A lot of free VPN cant not work in China,maybe u should try paid VPN, sometimes the chinese authority will block the VPN, another option is use the browser with proxy for facebook and twiter,if you dont need to use the it in timescape...in the local selling X10 (i mean the customized version for china) the youtube, facebook is deleted and replaced by youku, sina, and kaixin...
Hello fellow XDAinans.
Today I found out that there are ads which are displayed at the bottom of the search page in the Track ID software which is provided by Sony Ericsson.
First of all we have paid premium prices for the phone and software that comes with it, and SE 'business men' make more money by introducing annoying adds in Track ID software. That is pure consumer exploitation. This didn't happen before the .435 update
I will be contacting the customer care ASAP and will provide an update.
why don't you use ads free from market, I got rid of all the ads on any app
haven't used trackid though
Never used any software provided by SE. Rooted my x10 n removed all the Official crap provided by SE.

Ah well... Anyway I used Shazam before (that was on the context that I didn't know TrackID was available in X10 too), and I don't find any difference. And since TrackID isn't deletable, I removed Shazam instead.

Guys.....relax....it is real.
I read way back that Miyowa would be the official maker of WLM. If you go and google that company, you will see that they are the official WLM for WP7 as well and not MS.
This was quoted last year when WP7 OS was released:
"Here at Miyowa, we’ve had the pleasure of being able to play around on it (WP7 –ed.) for the past few months, as Microsoft have enlisted Miyowa to create the Windows Live Messenger app for the new OS.
We’ve long been partners with Microsoft, and are their number 1 mobile Windows Live Messenger provider. In fact, it is the success of our mobile WLM app that long ago helped us grow from a company with a couple of people working away in a tiny office, to the multi-national we are today."
Seems like they are also the official Android OS makers as well now too (unlike it's iOS counterpart which is made by MS).
Windows Live Messenger is NOT YET AVAILABLE! That other app is a STRANGE app! It cannot be official since it doesn't support some hotmail.com registered e-mailadresses!

I still doubt about this app
When I was using my GS 2 for a bit I installed the official Amazon shopping app. When I moved back to the Arc I could find no sign of it and I cannot think why it isn't available for the Arc. It made me wonder how many other apps do not appear for the Arc for some reason?
Both handsets are UK versions and both are running 2.3.3 so is this something to do with SE having their own channel in the market?
I'm having the same problem with my Xperia arc,
Some say the problem is from Google side, and the reason is to re-arrange the Market again

I can't get a lot of official Google apps, like latest version of Maps. I'm new to Android so I have no idea whether it's a regional thing (Israel) or whether it depends on the device.

Some of the limits are indeed a legional thing, but I think some of it is limited by your service provider for a specific device...

The limitation isn't by your service provider it's by regions
Because Google has create a separate market content for each region

Maybe the Amazon app is compatible with your GS 2, but not the Arc? It could be that simple...
I Read in any places that Update 2.3.4 is now available but i still can't even update to 4.0, here is the article : http://www.xperiablog.net/2011/09/2...-xperia-arc-and-xperia-play-owners/#more-2281

I am from India...didn't got the update yet
Nothing yet on UK Generic (rooted). Maybe because I have bloatware frozen (although I'm not sure if the update not showing up has any affect on that).
R800i, 2.3.3, 4.0.A.2.368 (full hebrew support, so i guess it's israeli version[?]).
still no update.

I recommend you don't try it yet. I can't say for sure but since the R800a and r800i can flash their firmwares interchangeably I don't see why it wouldn't work for the r800at.
OK. Also, when trying to flash this, I can't seem to get into fastboot mode. It just takes me to the charging battery screen. I hold down the search button when plugging in the USB.
Sent from my R800at using xda premium
hold it down about half a seconds before you put in the usb. also, you need to be holding the back button for flashtool, the search key is for fastboot
Their us an tft file already if you want to flash it on your phone. Its somewhere on the android development section for the xperia play.

Nice! Will check this out later on!
Did you actually try it? So long as the video is 720p @ 30fps constant then I'm happy!
By the way, what other improvements/fixes does the new update offer? Any performance/speed increase?
I'm at work now & unable to update till I get home.

Come on guys, no one answered my question with regards to the sound.
Is the sound just as loud as the previous 2.3.3?
Is the xLOUD still there? If not is there any way to get it?
What else is new in the update? Is it worth updating?
Reason I'm asking is because I've only just updated to 2.3.3 and it's great in every way.
I understand the video camera has been greatly improved however I never use the camera and therefore not too bothered about 720p.
Reason I bought my Xperia Play was to game!
So, is the new update worth it or not and why.
Thanks guys & girls...
