Nice,
Thanks for the info!

It only took them a couple of hours to respond to my email.

Let's hope when we get OTA update we still keep our root like the people did in the arc section. Seems like if do an OTA update from .181 (rogers only) you still keep root

I don't really care about rooting.

So what are you waiting for? You can get 2.3.3 with the flashtool. Only reason people are staying on 2.3.2 is bc they want root.

Thanks! I was wondering where it was..

You mean Sony Ericsson told you, for a fact that, Rogers in Canada, will release the update on July 1st? Because I e-mailed Rogers and they wouldn't tell me anything.

Yes, this was an email from Sony.
Here is what I wrote to them:

Yea no **** iproducts are garbage they just for pretty boys! Ha ha, but if you want 2.3.3 now instead of waiting for Rogers(cause we all know they have a good track record!) just go to the development section of this forum and there is a tutorial on how to do it no problem

So you updated with the UK version and you still have the Rogers games options? You can buy games that get billed directly to your bill?

just wait for rogers man. its coming in 18 days. (JULY 1st)

If your Xperia Play (R800a) is rooted, do you have to use SEUS to update to 2.3.3 when it is released from Rogers? OTA updates do not work, right?

@emann56:
So the Arc users who were on 2.3.2 and on build .181, who rooted their Arc, were able to update to 2.3.3 via OTA update?
I am wondering if Player users in Canada who rooted their 2.3.2 with GingerBreak need to use SEUS to update to 2.3.3 when it is released or if OTA can still work with root in place.

Wonder if Rogers branded units got this update as well...

What is SE waiting for.....release those suckers! They seem already certified.
I got it. Im on AT&T in the US. The phone is UK vodafone branded, it was the 14 before the update. I got it last night as I was waiting for sunrise.
Damn and there was me being excited about getting r2ba023 today. Looks like i'm already behind the times!
i have never got an update (austria / A1)
is this legit.. if it is i wonder what's the change gonna be??
What are differences and news??
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
i dont thin its legit, or perhaps just region based.. its the same this as my update on rogers.. can anyone elaborate??

It is legitimate but it does take up to a month for release post certification.
You are correct in stating that most are regionally specific versions of the same update but the "R2C" series would be something different.
R2C = Android 2.1 Firmwares ?????
We're nearing Q3.aren't we !!

The 2.1 update is so huge so I'd expect a bigger bump like R3 or even R5 if the marketdroids have any say.
We are actually 13 days into Q3.... only 79 days until Q4.... I so wish SE would be more open with their f/w update plans.. I'm very pleased with what R2BA020 has done to my handset... but what else may be coming in the pipeline is just distracting !!!

Sure it is, I like to update to have a smoother experience but on the other hand I am not a flash adict to update every now and then. Its fun but time consuming.
Lets hope to have bigger updates. Where is the log published by SE?
i have a rogers x10a on unlocked on att. everytime i try the update i get a network error. and i've got 3 bars of 3g. i don't understand. usually it says either your phone is currently up to date or there is a new update. not network error...

I have the same setup.
No OTA, SEUS only for the update but we are still at R2BA020 released July 2nd.

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

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.

New update for non-rooted X10 users

I've received quite a handful amount of PM's regarding the new SO-01b update that it wasn't up to their expectations regarding UXP revamp or improvements. The SO-01b update is "not" what SE planned to update. It's version is still 2.0.1. Please note that the update is not what has been planned nor is the one planned canceled. Everything is still on schedule, and you will all receive your next big update to 2.1.A update soon. The final test firmware has already begun internally a few days ago, so it will take a while before it exits testing period. Please be patience guys
P.S. Anyone read the Vivaz 2 article? I can only laugh

Yes, it should be supported in 2.1.A, but NOT 2.0.1.B. I'm sure there will be people who misunderstand that. Thanks for the confirmation from your location
Thanks for clearing this up. Is it possible to give some more info on the contents of this update?
In Japan there is a rumor that SO-01B will not plan to update to 2.1x.
So I think 2.0.1.b.0.19 update is final update to give us MT for SO-01B.

Your title says for "non-rooted" users. So if you are rooted and running stock SE you will NOT get the update?!
I think he still thought that the new update couldn't be root.
It's for those who dont root thier X10
No, I did not meant to say if you are rooted then you will not receive an update. It's definitely not true Most of the rooted users are probably already on the clean roms or even 2.2 roms with MT enabled throughout. So I don't know if you guys would be interested in the new update

@unknown13x- What exactly is the difference between the Hallon and the Arc? Given the Hallon article by MR, it seems that we are going to pay a premium on the Arc for inferior features. The hallon has a front cam while Arc doesnt. Everything else is the same.

Hi again unknown13x, been a while....
Does the new mediascape have an equalizer? And is the Timescape scrollable? That will make me switch back from 2.2 if so...
SE should enable track skipping with the volume buttons, like on my old k800.
What could we expect with new version?
Just give us some hints, please!

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

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.

if this is seriously 2.1 then i am not going to bother with se any more!
Perhaps for branded devices...

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
