Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 user experience and stuff

Hi all,
today I got a X10 unit (here in Croatia there was a press conference) and X10 come with localized Android 1.6 Cupcake operating system.

I just put battery in side and connect to Internet.
Device is great, solid construction (I also have HTC Legend), it is fast, but without multitouch

Can you, please, confirm the presence of AWS (WDCMA-IV) 1700MHz band support?
BTW Android v1.5 was Cupcake, your X10 is running Donut.
PS: I don't give a flying f*ck about multitouch, it's a classic gimmick with no use for me - I prefer to be able use my phone with one hand instead of having to perform some two-handed gymnastics nonsensical gymnastics, only to gain nothing but lose safety when, say, I'm riding a train or driving a car or walking with my daughter holding her hand.

Tnx for correcting me, so where can I check AWS?
Well, I am playing with X10 for few hours, and I think that the main problem is 1.6 Android, in comparation with Legend (which I have) it is slightly slower. This can be seen in putting widgets.

What you see is the "Donut lag" - it is a common problem among Donut-based devices.
After someone releases a 2.x port it should be gone.

Well, we will sit and wait and I will continue to use my HTC Legend, hope to see upgrade rom from SE on 2.1

I know they will, it's only the question of when...

Retail version review from Stuff Mag:

anyway, they say that SE UI is pretty laggy...

Congratulations on your new device beetleman! Glad to see you went with an excellent choice. Hope you can include some more pictures soon.. Have you tried changing the background at all?

Thanks but I won this device and also HTC Legend, last week (what can I say, best week in my life- HTC Legend was in press conference,and SE Xperia x10 on SE event- I am ICT yournalist and editor in chief of Croatian e-zine about smartphones).
So I am very lucky, but as I said, it is good device, with big potential, so in comparation with Legend, Legend has smoother UI (HTC Sense) and implementation of services, but all thanks to 2.1 Eclair, so we wait update on X10.
Today I got him, so I will play with him a while, so we will se how it goes..
my main concern is TFT screen, because AMOLED screens are much better.

Hard Reset

Does anyone here know how to factory/hard reset this phone? Sonys servers are down or something, and now I can't use the software to do it. Is there a bootup sequence or combo? I want to return this thing but need to reset it first to clear my data.
Not sure what I was thinking ever buying anything by Sony.

What ! too complicated for you ?
Look in the phone somewhere there is a master reset.
Which make phone do you usually use ?

not sure if you're talking about this but goto settings>sd card & phone storage and factory reset is in there

Fast!
You guys work fast. Sorry I didn't mean to insult anyone, I've just never had anything but trouble with the quality of Sony products, and hardware wise this is ok so far, but the software is crap compared to nexus one in speed and smoothness etc. N1 should be here shortly.

But The Nexus is Android 2.1 so will be similar to the X10 wont it ? . This is my first Android phone and I presume most android phones would be similar in operating system with a few customisations.
I am an se fan

and am real happy with this phone, I think it is the best se phone to date and a good introduction to Android.
Would the Nexus be that different ? being Android.
Mind though I was Using a P1i before this so it was a big upgrade for me in current tech so has wowed me a bit.

The X10 is only android 1.6, so quite a few apps just wont work for it. Trying the N1 and the X10 side by side I found the X10 much slower and more annoying to use.
I found their 'timescape' and 'mediascape' apps to be useless and not a good reason to hold back their from from 2.1.
The developer community seems to also be non existant.
I'm sure it will make a great phone for some, but not for me.

*Deleted by user*

I'm waiting eagerly to get my white X10. but i have to wait 1-2 more weeks since a carrier in sweden has it exlusive first 4 sale's weeks (hate them) anyways, comparing to HTC phones.. i have one.. and i'm just boored sich with their 1-4-all UI a.k.a touchflo3D/Sence it's ugly and old.. the X10 is imo a beutifull device that will beat all competition when the update comes.. with or without multi touch (most likely without)
I could not wait any more, and fiddeling with the devices in a few stores made my actually start liking the black one :> so i'm now a proud owner!

Guys i was online for hours and nothing seems to work so this is the last thing that i tried and it worked out beautifully all u have to do is download (SE-Update_Service_Setup-2.10.6.21 Google it i found it on rapid share servers) install it let it update then pick the phone that u have in our case the (XperiaX10) there is going to be 2 of them u would have to pick the one that says XperiaX10 twice once at the top and bottom once u select it follow the prompts and u all set it will install the newer software updating your phone which will hard reset it !

Replacement for QTek 9000 - Nexus One or Motorola Milestone?

Hello,
I'd like to replace my QTek 9000. Which of these two phones would you choose?
- Nexus One
. Motorola Milestone
Also, what are the advantages and disadvantages to buy them through a contract, rather than unlocked?
Thank you

Go for device with qwerty keyboard, from this two this is Motorola Milestone

I decided to stay with trusty HTC and got Rhodium, I´m quite happy with it

..
i wouldnt upgrade! =D!
however, id say a HD2 is nicer than both of them. Android is all web-based ****, it's horrible without data. and i believe an OS should be self contained, not dependant on the internet for every function. even calendar doesnt work without data on android.

I could think on this as a better candidate to replace Uni than milestone

Think we have the same tastes Orb ......

I went to the dark side* (well, no, I am lying, it's not really) and.... got Xperia X1.... IN ADDITION to my Uni and LG Prada. Must say, I am quite pleased. With my choice.
Played with X10 today - lovely, but just not lovely enough to make me WANT! madly.
* I bet you all thought I got an Iphone! Hahaha

My chain of collected and kept WM devices: O2 XPHONE IIm, Imate Jam (Magician), K-Jam (Wizard), SP Jas (Breeze), JasJar (Universal), Touch (Elf - still think it was the cutest little phone I ever had), LG KS20 (got TF3D ported and thought I can die a happy girl) and SE Xperia X1
All others I fixed for other people, played with and gave them back in exchange for money I also have TYTNII waiting for holidays when I will finally get to fixing it.

That´s a nice collection dear
I never thought of you with an iPhone
I´m quite satisfied with Rhodium but will like a bigger screen and faster processor, that would be the perfect upgrade!

Galaxy Tab 10.1 P7501 vs, P7500

Does somebody knows what the difference between P7501 and P7500 are? As I understand both have UMTS and WIFI? Also rest of spec seems to be the same.
(It is not a mistake P7501! Not P7510)

P7501 is a new model (Name is Galaxy Tab 10.1N)
It was created by Samsung in order to address the issue that previous models could not be sold in certain markets due to lawsuits triggered by Apple.
So far I'm not aware what has changed in detail but I assume the technical specs remain the same. Most likely they only adapted the exterior design.

It has a slightly changed design. The software and the basic hardware are the same.
The speakers a repositioned and the silver-border is also changed (dunno in which way)

It got Android 3.2

Here's a link to it on a German site. It doesn't look that different. I wonder if it's different enough for Apple? Interesting.

From the pic it looks like the speakers are front facing.

I wonder if the dimensions are the same. If not, none of the existing docks and accessories will work.

should be the same, trying to get my hands on one :/

If anyone gets their hands on one of these - please get in contact with the devs so we finally have some European 3.2 stock rom

May not work on other models out of the box. But with the right kernel, perhaps. In any case, we will probably start seeing more 3.2 ROMs very soon -- even official ones.

If they've done it right, this is exactly the same device as the P7500/P7510 with a slightly different frame and a little glas cut of each side.

it looks the same like this htc device http://www.unwiredview.com/2011/11/...s-image-and-specs-leaked-comes-in-early-2012/

It's up on the Samsung Germany site. 649 Euro for the 32GB 3G. Yikes.

I have one.

I've got one.
It has a slightly different design. But from my experience rooting and flashing works the same. So I don't think there are a lot of differences of the hardware.
See also my post here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19878585#post19878585

I've got one too.

I recently bought the 10.1N WiFi, the GT7511. It features the same hardware specs as the GT7510 except the design of the frame. The speakers are on the front, the silver frame is much larger than the one of the GT7510. The physical size of the tablet is exactly the same and all accessories released by Samsung until now are compatible with it. I own the keyboard dock and it works like a charm. The tablet fits into a 10.1 leather case without problems.
The software is Android 3.2 with Touchwiz. It features several Samsung Hub Apps (Readers Hub, Social Hub, Music Hub), Pulse News, Samsung Apps Market and Polaris Office.
I hope Samsung will release ICS for this modell, too.

This is the version of android , i would like to run

I cannot post links . Please google Remix os
Ex-Googlers have created REMIX OS ,this is the android , i would like to run rather than BS phone os. If 3 people can do this , it means something is wrong with google.

damn if we could flash that on the nexus 9 that would be siiiick

my first impression is .... surface on android. 2GB ram makes me wonder though.

would be sweet if they sold (or gave it away) it as a separate OS so we could run it on any hardware.

Looks like Kickstarter is up...
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1123481999/remix-a-laptop-experience-on-a-big-android-tablet

I don't know how, but I was lucky enough to snag one of the $39 units. Looking forward to playing around with it.

Nice score ?

So what you really want, is multi-window Android, and a launcher capable of showing running applications.
There are a number of 'hack' implementations of this idea, samsung has one, omnirom was working on one last year (haven't heard anything about it in a while), there is this "remix"... there is evidence that google themselves are working on it, but they are taking a more careful approach to it as the hardware Android runs on grows to make this feature more relevant. I sure can't see the use of it on a phone or TV, but a large tablet could benefit from it greatly, or a laptop.
For example, this commit to the Android window manager mentions multi-window: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/baf6bef001a582fea275bf891294cf1fe9d5472e

The main thing I want is the multi window. I've gone back to my gn10.1 2014 for working out b/c constantly switching b/t google music and jefit was kinda getting on my nerves. Downside is that the gn10.1 speakers suck compared to the n9. Luckily best buy has the charge 2 on sale. almost got the UE but it seemed a but to trebley for my tastes, sounded clean though.

looks good. have nexus 9 with keyboard so the Remix OS would be cool on the Nexus 9.
No android 5.1.. no good multitasking.. supported kickstartar $1.

(If you haven't known about this yet)
You can now pledge $1 and get early access to Remix OS ROM for Nexus 9.

Edit: I've also backed this up... with $1 lol

Well I'm backing this up and really looking forward to it...

This Rom is a bist, possibly doa. No customization, they have it locked down, no widgets, no app drawer and it has battery issues. Hopefully someone at xda gets a copy and can make it better than jide.

Where did you get this info? I would like to be a part of this group please...

I received my remix last Friday. From kickstarter. They should be opening up regular sales by the end of the month.

Are the battery issues possibly not ROM related, but device? Curious how this will run on the n9. (If you mean you are using the RemixOS on the actual Jide tablet that is)

I have the tablet and it's a 8500 battery. I believe it's a software issue. They have a way to go on software development to make this a daily driver.

Anyone received the ROM for nexus 9? I haven't received any.

They only said May, but right now Jide is likely occupied with fixing their Ultra Tablet. Users are having bugs, and I can't imagine the $1 tier is a priority.
