Sony Ericsson X10i Hong Kong Android 2.1 Release

I know that this dead horse has been beaten enough already. But I thought Hong Kong Sony Ericsson X10 users may be interested to hear that the Android 2.1 update is scheduled to be released in September, along with a second a marketing campaign push for the handset.
Before you ask me about the source, I'll tell you now that I cannot share it.

man when is september is coming, its going to be an interesting month
thanks for the heads up

To quote the great poet Billy Joe
'Summer has come and gone
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends!'

That's three separate sources. Come on guy. You can't just make up facts then say "UH, I CAN'T TELL YOU WHERE I GOT THE NEWS FROM" when you clearly just lifted it off one of those sites.

I am beging you guys that you dont write those 2.1 topics, it makes me sick ! Dont mention 2.1 until it is out, PLEASE !

As far as I know, they have said that the release will be Q3 and onwards. There was no official mention of September, only an assumption made by us. Please correct me if I am wrong.
No, I cannot give you a source because the information is not available in the public domain. This information was passed in confidence between Sony Ericsson and a mobile operator.
I thought it'd be nice for me to share this information with you guys but if it's causing so much distress, I have no problem keeping it to myself. Frankly, it's not worth risking my job by posting a confidential e-mail here.
You are welcome to ignore what I post (and you should take everything on internet with a pinch of salt), but the last time I did something like this, it was pretty damn accurate - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=725008.
Have a nice day.

Hey.. I, for one, would like to say thanks. The more we hear about this being september the more confidence it gives me that they will hit their target. Thanks.

I work with a Pony and can confirm 3 came out

Q1 -> January, February, March
Q2 -> April, May, June
Q3 -> July, August, September
Q4 -> October, November, December
So, if it will be out int Q3, it will be released in September, everybody knows that...

Oh btw August is nearly over so there is no other possibility than september...

Oops. My bad. It was Q4, not Q3.
Anyway, I don't appreciate the cynicism so if this is the way it's going to be, then so be it.

Cynicism? It's just funny that you think the end of September is magically different than the end of Q3.

Admins, please lock this "only for under 15 years old" topic !

what do you think?

With the latest news about x10 updates, do you think we will be getting future updates? like 2.2 of gingerbread

Isn't this the 3rd topic you've created today?
Anyway, obv no gingerbread.
Froyo - I highly doubt it, given what SE have done so far. No point getting Froyo in March or something. That's just funny

The realist in me says we get 2.1 in december and no more updates, they did the same thing to past models.

That'd suck the only things that are "constantly" upgraded are the PS family (speaking about sony in general) SE is just like scamming us badly
and the x10 has a lot of potential. I might just change to HTC (and worst cause HTC is not sold in Mexico) just to have a phone up to date

I'm fine with no froyo update...i already had it on my nexus...didn't find it any more great than 2.1.
I am disappointed in SE tho for delaying our much needed 2.1 update. I wish they would get there **** together as they could have a major contender in the X10

SE and Sony are not the same company.
Sony updates its consoles, its TVs (BRAVIA Link), its computers, its cameras, ect.
My hope is that SE activates the kill switch and turns everyone's phones into paperweights. Read your Terms of Use, they mention the kill switch and how they can delete all of your data, and kill your phone at anytime.

That would be absolutely fine by me! Just means I'd pop to my O2 store and get a HTC phone. A company that updates to the latest operating system as soon as possible. Not an update to something that's nearly a year old.

Latest xperia x10 update solved all problems

Hey all,
Latest xperia x10 update solved all problems, yesterday I was looking at one of the topics on how to make my xperia x10 multi touch, when I connected my phone SE PC Suit indicated that there is an update, so I did it. It was for the multi touch.
The funny part is that about two months ago I was trying to enable Arabic, today I realized that the Arabic font has changed, and I thought that the update was also for languages, guess what.. IT DID, now I have Arabic, multi touch and god knows what else.
I just wanted to share this information with you guys and ask you, if the same thing about the Arabic happened (or will be) on the HTC Desire HD?

There's a rom by Lee that supports arabic fonts. It's called LeeDroid ARA.
Anyway I didn't notice any improvement with the latest x10 firmware. Kernel sucks as usual

Honestly... how much is Sony Ericsson pays u to say good things abt them here?
OUT WITH IT!!!

Ok i don't want to say bad things about SE
As a Xperia X10 user, i disappointed on this SE news:
http://blogs.sonyericsson.com/products/2011/02/25/questions-and-answers-from-mwc2011/comment-page-1/#comments
From now on, if there is no good HTC phone, i will buy SS, SE can't make a smart phone. SE made well cyber-shot phone, walkman phone, but smart phone always need update.

An other thing...
To call it multitouch, is quite a stretch....
It is at most bad implemented crappy not functional DUAL touch...
Clearly you have never tried real multitouch...
Do your self a huge favour and buy a HTC, and you WILL discover the difference...
--
4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42

For me, I like my white X10, I can't find anything like it on HTC or Samsung, which a lot of people here are praising. Stop crying on your wrong choice, SE got your money already, just move on. Ha! Ha! Ha!

My SE phones always functions correctly, what I hear about Samung/HTC phones is not positive. They dont always function correct. So I'm happy with my x10! And the dual touch works perfect. And yes I already used some real multi touch on other smartphones.
PLEASE DEVELOPERS CRACK THE BOOTLOADER!! YOU GUYS ARE OUR ONLY HOPE!

Lol that's bs... I had a htc hero before this and my gf has a desire z. Htc phones work just as well, maybe even better.
The only reason I switched was because I got my x10 for a really good price and because of the bigger processor.

@MJ_QaT: If that's the case why dun u ask ur dear SE to release 2.2 or 2.3 updates as we r already 2 steps behind and 2.1 apps r getting obsoleted, as well as releasing the bootloader and FPS while u r at it...
If SE releases all these, then I'll agree wif u abt their update services... until then, I keep talking bad abt them for other companies FOR FREE!!!

So you are the victim? Um, pretty much every android gets one major OS upgrade, including HTC and Samsung, so the problem is that you made the wrong purchase. If having the latest OS version was so important, why did you buy the x10 which came with 1.6 and said "updateable to 2.1"?

Seriously, it is the shape and size and the way it fits on my palm... why did I buy when it already said upgradeable to 2.1? It didn't... when I bought it, it was just 1.6... when u bought the win 7, does it says that it will be upgradable to sp1 or 2? That's the same reason...

It solved nothing. I appreciate the improvements to mediascape, but the phone for me is a heck of alot slower. The Dual touch is basically useless and now my phone restarts constantly.

Just a phone man
and regarding their updating service they will provide it up to two years from production, but it doesn't mean they will Upgrade the OS to latest, it only means that if there were a bug to fix, they will release and update to fix it.

By buying the phone, at the same time, r we not buying their services as well as their brands? Look at X2 for an instance... that phone was a total failure which only receive few updates and hangs even more than the earlier update...
I really hope that u r right man and also hoping that history dun repeat itself... if not, they are just saving the lastest for their next phone in order to market it...

You might want it, but chances are you're not going to get it.
The fact that it is registered to PTCRB doesn't mean that
it will be available to SEUS. It's probably a test firmware.

The article said that the 2.3.4 will be available for the latest Xperia phones (Arc, Play, Neo, Ray, etc) in October 2011.
It's being tested on X10.
So I doubt the X10 will be the first to get it, if at all.

Here's my 2 cent.
It's kinda weird since Android 3.0 is Honeycomb..
So i first thought maybe it's for the Sony S1/S2, but then again, it was posted for the X10i..

Sony ericsson does not release software with the exact code as android. For example: If our next update should be 2.3.3, than the update on PTCRB will have the form 2.3.3.x.A/B.x. It's just a code. I has to do with the Sony Ericsson software version numbers and not android version numbers (1.6,2.1,2.2,2.3,2.3.3,2.3.4). So it could be another 2.1 update and change maybe only the baseband, or kernel....or it could be the real deal regarding 2.3.3 update. It's just their way of making updates. So someone from XDA said that the update 2.3.3 will have the form on PTCRB like 3.0.1.G.xx. My guess it's the real and official gingerbread update. A few more days to wait.

Calculations:
~28.5% thread sucess
~57.1% thread failure
~14,2% thread irrelevance
Ontopic:
It's clearly an update for branded devices that haven't received the GB update till today and they never will. It's not a judgement post of how SE is or isn't a hypcritic company that steals from its clients (which in my opinion isn't) and certainly there will be clearly no roll-back whatsoever to 2.1 , this would just be ubserd.
Please DO think before you type!
Regards.

Well there are other X10 phones which are branded and sim locked,this update is for them.
would be interesting what they give in this update. Arc launcher may be to make X10 2.1 look like 2.3 so that people don't think they are missing anything.

i guess that's gonna be a minor update for japanese 2.1 firmware, since they are still on 2.1 and not upgrading to 2.3
