so sadddddd

SE don't want to update their current android phones because of marketing.

That's how it works for them, not necessarily for the rest of the industry.
There are phones with worse hardware than the Xperia series which have been given Android 2.2 updates.
IOTW, they **** on their current customers and profit on them. Nothing else.
Its not everything bad.
We can get all that have 2.2 by root phone and we will get multytouch actually we already get it.
They uploaded firmware with multytouch.

please support us,for new fw updates for the X8 and X10 family
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=904941
I am for.
What I find most annoying is that SE seems to have forgotten they made the x8 entirely.
I'm not even sure if the x8 is considered "part of the x10 family" or not. I can make semi-informed guesses, but there's no official word to clarify this.
thats bad....
Sony mentioned the x10, mini and mini pro and forgot to mention the X8..??
either they r gonna bring froyo to X8 (which i m think is never gonna happen) or they dont think X8 is important enough to mention..!!
I had tweeted SEAnswers about the Xperia X8 and this is what they had to say, I quote "There may be updates to software, however we will not be upgrading past 2.1 OS".Check the Discussions on their Facebook page, no further updates to the Android version.
So... since the x8 was originally intended to launch with 2.1, this pretty much makes the life-span of this particular device... Dead on Arrival.
It's a fine device, but the policy that comes with it is just utter rubbish.

2.2 is wonderful! X10 can handle it very well!
let's e-mail to SE to express our idea!
if the x10 can be rooted, does that mean that we technically would be able to run froyo on it ? 2.2
i hope so .
Yeah, i saw some vidoes of 2.2 on youtube and i was left feeling really jealous of the nexus one people that will get it!

we willnever get it without root
look at the company that respect their customers http://www.gsmarena.com/all_the_latest_htc_android_phones_will_get_the_froyo_treatment-news-1674.php after only one day of announcement of the new android ,they announced that all their devices will get it before the end of the year ,(ofcource you all know which company iam talking about )
ok,
froyo looks good, very good.
2.1 in Q2010/4 and 2.2 in Q2011/1 for x10 makes no sense.
That means there are a some reasons why SE could stick to 2.1/Q4:
- SE plans a X10 sucessor for Q4 with froyo (including multitouch)
- google wants to have a clean froyo/hardware base, which could mean all f froyo-devices should have multitouch
- ?
- SE is cool or clever enough (like HTC) and announce 2.2/froyo for all X10 device-classes and cancels the 2.1 update

problem is, companies are not as stupid as we sometimes thinks. they just make sometimes the wrong desicions.
the x10 has no multi/dualtouch maybe the big screen & dual/multi was (last year) to expensive/not avaible.
To annouce 2.1 two weeks before google I/O is also very stupid, because everyone knows that 2.2 will come at google I/O
... so there must be a reason, maybe a reason SE knows before (e.g. google wants froyo only on multitouch devices, maybe,
look, there is no HTC Legend in the HTC - 2.2 update list) so SE had to announce 2.1 before google I/O . If this is correct we only can hope ...
Second time in my life i have to thank adobe, because flash 10.1 needs 2.2 and this could change everything.
The X10 devices (mini, etc.) and SE cannot survive beside the desire/nexus without flash ... so next week(s), we will see ...
I sincerely hope that Sony Ericsson Xperia to update to Froyo, because if do not update, Sony will be out of the game.
Consumers are not stupid. Not sell any telephone.
I will never again buy a Sony product.
The truth and we really know this already is that we will not see an official update from Sony to the xperia x10 in 2010.
We really need to face this and realize its just NOT going to happen. I am not being negative just realistic.
Our only hope is for the guys on the development side come up with a way to root the x10 and get it to run froyo. But an official update from Sony is VERY unlikely!

Yeah, I hope google isn't trying to set a baseline for 2.2+ with multitouch as a requirement.
But I do agree with this. Flash could just save us...
Oh and cmboud, we will see an update from SE this year. The problem is if it is the update we want or not
Maybe it sounds stupid but how about a petition? As long its post on multiple forums we can get lots of people, what you think?I willing to start it,just need someone to write me a good intro for it since my english is not the best as you probably have noticed.
It sounds like a good idea but I'm pretty sure it's something that they already know, of COURSE we want the latest and greatest, that's why we choose this phone most likely.
I don't belive a petition will resolve anything in our favour - if they could announce 2.2 they would - it would sell more handsets!
my .02
On a norwegian mobile site mobilen.no, stated:
HTC say they will make 2.2 available on phones that are launched this year, writes Phandroid.com.
The Sony Ericsson says the long term will make 2.2 available for its Xperia X10 models. Here we are waiting still on version 2.1.
http://mobilen.no/wip4/fullt-godbiter-android-2-2/d.epl?id=44606
How long we (X10 owners) have to wait? *Wondering*
An online petition could be a great thing if we wouldn't talk about SE. What do you think will happen? Where to send this petition?
Send it to SE vie email?
Hmmm let me think we will get an answer like "Thank you for your opinion, try to update your x10 via SEUS...blablabla"
Call the Support and inform them about the petition?
The answer would be something like "Don't believe the internet!! The X10 works fine. Try an Update via SEUS... blablabla"
What should we write into that petition? Give us 2.2?
Answer "There will be an Update to 2.1 in Q4... Thank you"
Fix the battery issues
Answer "Thank you very much for your contact, there will be an update try SEUS... blablabla"
Or better "Battery issues? Don't belive the internet!"
I think it's very poor that such a big company doen't care at all about their customers. If SE doen't come up with some ass kicking updates in the next months this was my last SE device.

so bad sony ericsson . just mind for profit than after sales service
I can't but wonder if this is related to the same news from Samsung withholding their update for Galaxy S.

Yeah, you might want to give these phones a miss. Sony will just constantly disappoint you. They should of stayed well away from Android. Android is meant to be an open platform, but they are doing all the wrong things with it.
I can understand if they say that x8 will not receive Gingerbread update due to hardware limitations. But for Froyo, x8's hardward can support it! I hope SE will change their mind.. :/
I can imagine that is based on costs. Since the majority of people that buy new phones today, as they have done with computers for decades, is that they never update their software. Since, for Sony Ericsson there is nothing to gain to update to a newer version of Android.
On the other, they could however remove the encryption on the boot loader, so people like us can deploy whichever version we want of Android.
that's true I emailed the support for se and they replied that there will be no froyo update for the x10, x8 and x10 mini, the only update they will be doing is multitouch in the 1st quarter of 2011. so i guess we're stuck with the 2.1 software and rooting will be the least possible solution we can do
Shame for lazy Sony Ericsson developer guy, Samsung Galaxy Europe I5500 which has same CPU like X8 gets Froyo update, what reason for X8 can't get Froyo?
Sent from my E15i using Tapatalk
The reason maybe is the RAM memory x8 have 175 ram and others phone that have a official 2.2 update have 256+ ram ;[ maybe this is the reason. But i don't understand for x10 this phone have 368 ram and SE tell that the x10 will not get 2.2 update ... If SE don't make a update to 2.2 for x10 or x8 I will never buy SE phone again!

effin SE just sold my x8 and got me an htc instead
There's a new post by Rikard on the blog.
http://blogs.sonyericsson.com/products/2011/02/01/next-update-for-the-xperia-x10-and-x8-family
All that is mentioned for the x8 is:
"the mini products and the Xperia X8 we
also have enabled the ANT+ support in the
chipset. "
and thats it.
No dual touch, new Timescape, no changes to 4 corner UI, so called uxp update is a sham.
SE is crazy. No 2.2, ok we cried but we stayed mum. But going back on a promise of providing a decent update is pretty sad.
How can they not post DT for X8. I dont care about the stupid timescape, or the stupid launcher. All I want is DT (and most of the users here).

same with me

u are quietly right!!!!but froyo still needed...
i used US firmware, and check with SEUS and PC com, there's no update available.
Anyone has new update? and can you share your SI number? hope that new update is not china firmware, cause it makes my phone slower than US firmware
In case we will receive this update, am i right assuming it will delete anything on the phone?
So we have to reinstall all our apps, adjust settings again and so on?
Come on guys, SE never promised dualtouch for the X8! We don't even know if it's possible. I think we have no right to cry about this, as we bought our phone knowing there would be no multitouch.
Dammit guys! Why are you complaining? They'll enable ANT+!!! Don't you know how useful is it? It'll save many lives, and since we all have ANT+ monitoring devices, DT should be our least concern...
xD, yeah right... I really really don't see any purpose of ANT+, can't they at least give us DT?
All I can say right now is: SE, you haven't said a word about 2.2 on Xperia, while developers got 2.3 working on X10 and racht is in progress of making it work on our X8-s (I hope)...
Google construct the Android OS and SE is 2 lazy to customize it
SE u disappointed us all
The X8 update will start rolling out one week after the x10, so arnd 2-3 days more and we can expect it to begin, not that it'll add much but I want to see if they have made any improvements to the UI.
One "improvement" they surelly done is patch up the root exploit, so I would say not to update...

As I bought x8, i read that it has ANDROID os AND when i bought it, x8 was new on the market. The most popular os in the world must be upgraded and it must have MT,Flash and app2sd.
Really, really dissapointed about this phone, seems to me that the next phone I buy will deffo not be a SE ( and I'm loyal to SE since my first mobile phone back in 1998 )
Way to screw users by not offering decent updates.
we want froyo in our x8 becuz this is our law. se must unlock the boot loader.

i m not updating my phone until SE brings MT or froyo to the X8 (which is never)
this is seriously my last SE phone
Stop hoping for nothing, the X8 will never get froyo or MT oficially... the only solution will be to get a working froyo rom for the x8 and that will be it. Sony screwed me one time with the X8, but it will be the last time i buy a SE phone.
still not available in Croatia...
I just want to say"SE u disappointed us all"
SONY ERICCSON HAS SAID THEY ARE GOING TO START ROLL UP UPDATES FOR THE X10 BUT NO MENTION OF OTHER RELEASE XPERIA PRODUCTS. THIS HAS BEEN ACHIEVED BY OWNERS POSTING COMMENTS ON THE SONY ERICCSON FORUMS
http://talk.sonyericsson.com/commun...sionid=9C035449AFE913DDBAFBC51904921490.node0
go on here and write about your disappointment
the x10 2.3.3 is a good start as devs can develop a rom for our x8 but we want a better x8 original. just go on that link and complain about how frustrated you are!
http://blogs.sonyericsson.com/products/
X8
The X8 is a fantastic handset and with its 600 processor it can definitely have the 2.3.3 android software
Don't worry. X8 custom roms are faster than original one.
I don't even care anymore about "official", I love my Floyo
I'am actually looking at the work xda devs do on products before buying them, like seriously I don't even care about company support anymore. They all stop at some point.
Yes but if se release 2.2 or 2.3 this will help devs to make their roms even better, faster.
I was realy disapointed when I buy my phone(it is my first android, and i was an idiot in the android world) when i watch it on gsmarena.com I fell in love with the phone When I started to get to know about android and when I read no 2.2 update, i was realy disapionted...I'd like to buy me an HTC device, that fully works everything (even the MIUI rom) I'm just using CMmini 2.2, and it's a realy good rom, but the interface (I love the stock launcher from Eclair)
Just wait that someone form the developers make MIUI rom compatiable on mdpi devices(like ours x8)

For XperiaTM X10 mini, mini pro and X8 there are as communicated earlier no plans to update beyond the current Éclair version. There are two mains reasons for this: The XperiaTM X10 mini, X10 mini pro and X8 all have less RAM memory than XperiaTM X10. By this we can’t guarantee a good user experience by upgrading beyond Android 2.1. The upgrade of XperiaTM X10 also was made possible due to that we had a code base that mostly could be reused. For the mini’s, who have a different user interface, this possibility did not exist.

Max RAM i got with gingerbread is 90 MB and with froyo 111 MB,they skiped froyo,all their devices will run gingerbread so they dont want three devices run froyo,very simple.

Hey guys,
I just checked my girlfriend's X8 has this latest software update available (start of July 2011). I think it's now the 3rd update or so, the first being Android 2.1, the second something with Nike-Chip and the ability to cut videos and an office suite.
But somehow I can't find details on what this current 3rd update does (though it's a pretty popular phone?)
Has anybody checked it out already? SE's Backup-And-Restore-App always screws up the contacts and calendar entries, so I would like to know if it's worth the pain.
Edit: Oh and it's a branding-and-simlock-free X8 from Amazon ;-)
SE is full of bull****! They won't update our devices to Android 2.2 because they don't want! I'm using the Froyobread rom and i have 94MB of ram free. If they don't know how to work on their own phones, simply deliver the development to jerpelea, racht, doixanh or anyone able enough!
