Today is the day, when i said good bye to my HD2.
It has been qute an experience owning the device and trying all these different WinMo, Android SD and Nand, Windows Phone 7, but i guess i got tired of all those, what is working and not working rom, and now i deceided to get a Xperia X10...
I want to thank all of the developers, testers, and all of the users of this subforum. Great job guys.
Shame... I had an X10 for about a week before I got rid for the HD2 (my second HD2) ... The X10 has a few 'quirks' of it's own but nothing reflashing can't fix.
ithink hd2 its quite good device, since all my friend complaining baout that n this on their soner device...
HTC is more experienced for PDA things than
I've got HD2 with Rafdroid and X10 (updated to 2.1). After using X10 I still come back to my second phone (I find Sense much, much more useful than Sony's firmware - especially these things that decide about phone functionality - adress book (searching is much better in Sense), phone and so on.)
I owned a X10 before but i was disappointed.
lmao. So let me get this straight, you're going from HD2 to the X10? In case that wasn't clear enough...
YOU'RE GOING FROM THE HD2 to the X10?!
lulz
Yep, i got rid of my 9 months old HD2 for a brand new X10, which has everything right out of the box. I wanted to have android for so long and i have tried qute a few sd and nand builds, but still there is something not working. i.e. i must connect to wpa2 enterprise network everyday ... no build support that... sorry hd2 ....

I hope you enjoy the Experience (get it lol)
imho, (and i provide phone tech support for virgin), you are correct to say its all the out of the box, but the build quality, mtbf*, useability, screen quality, reception and software are much below the Leo.
Don't forget that SE don't as a rule supply updates for their phones, and don't expect to update the rom on the X10 this centuary.
You would have made a better choice to go for a Wildfire S
Mean time between failures
If I was you, id try and sell the x10 and get a superior phone, perhaps an Hd2, if you need advice on running wp7 and android, we can help

What he said ^
Gosh guys, if he gets a new phone don't kill him over it. Fact is, our hd2 is non comparable to a true android phone. So it's obvious he's got a better android phone than us. Don't trash him about it.
PS. if any of you guys try to tell me that our hd2's are faster than android phones, root the android phone, tweak it, then flash a custom rom / kernel, then you'll see that android phone flying beyond what our hd2's can do.
niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Yeah I would think the HD2 the better of the two ?
X10 has locked bootloader - there are few custom ROMs and SE said they won't update the official Android in Xperia.
You wanted Android from the box - why not Galaxy S?

Because the galaxy s is known for it's hardware problems. However I find the problems insignificant in my case and opinion.
Now personally I find you choice of the X10 a bad one, as the desire, desire hd or even desire z would have been a better choice. But hey, congrats on the new device. :3
Hi guys! i'll be going to singapore soon to buy my htc hd2. Missed all the tweakings. Had an xda, then xda exec then got an htc shift (still with me now). Looking forward to have one soon.
You chahged hd2 for xperia? If I were you I wouldn't tell anyone about this stupidity. You are crazy, man!
When i had a Xperia X10 i waited 4 months for an update. And not to 2.2 or 2.3 but
from 1.6 to 2.1.(The first and last update for the Xperia X10 family.)
When i got the update guess what, still no multitouch, no adobe flash player,same laggy Timescape and Mediascape.And did not mention the BIG quadrant score: somewhere around 460-500, with the update.
So i did own a Xperia X10i for 4 months and i can say from experience that the HD2 android it is far better than the Xperia X10i.
This is only my opinion. I was happy to change the X10 for a HD2.
You did the opposite.Hope you will be happy with it.
With new phones such as the XPERIA PLAY, PRO AND ARC being released is it possible that XDA developers are planning to let go?
The X8 will not be able to sport optimal performance on upcoming android os, i can see the end coming?
i am sure that the development of j's rom will be done and racht will still produce some roms with j's rom and cynagonmod 7 but what after that?
is the x8 just going to be abandoned?
What is the future of the X8 with these new SE handsets arriving and many more better handsets?
even the x10 received the update and its bootloader was cracked
re
please reply
Sony Ericsson dumped us, our only hope lies with racht, jerpelea and nobodyatall. If they leave then that's it, X8 is finished.
Programmers built android, programmers are develop it to next versions.
What makes you think that xda programmers cant develop them too?
...The problem is that they are paid and do their job, but xda programmers give us their free time for free to develop it , not to mention that they are alone...
The problem is not what is going to happend if our phone cant support next android version, the problem is how long can xda programmers spent their time for us , they have a life too.
PS: se dont give as updates why are you so crazy for next versions...
Just stop thinking about such things untill you see a rom custom by ratch that x8 can run.
2 year ago I wanted more and more from a dev of an firefox add on... 1 year ago I start developing my own add on with a friend... Everyone can programm but you has to try first.

Yes, the X10 will be getting official Gingerbread in end Q2-Beginning Q3. I would actually go with one of the froyo roms for now, and wait for new 2.3 rom releases after the SE gingerbread update. just my 2c LOL.
What would be best for you? "Best" is a very subjective concept and different people will point you towards their own preferences. What is a fact is that several Froyo custom ROM's have everything working, while Gingerbread ones still aren't 100% - mainly the camera isn't working.
My own preferences are the FreeX10/Beta4 by zdzihu and Wolfbreak's Xperia TW 006. If you like MIUI you can try Trip's MIUI Froyo, but I haven't tried it myself since I don't really like the interface.
I suggest you try these 100% working ROM's and see what like about each one and to get yourself comfortable with the rooting/flashing/updating/messing up/trying again/etc. process. Once there you might want to try playing with the other ROM's and custom kernels around.
Have fun!

Wow cheers for that most helpful looking forward to getting it back to play with
Installing a Custom 2.2, 2.3 ROM
+1. Would just wait for the official 2.3. Most of the custom 2.3s are missing functionality.
2.2 is your best bet.
HI all,
I upgraded my x10 mini pro to 2.1, i have not done any modification for my phone apart from that . I want to customize my phone as much as it can be done(rooting,kernel and stuff).
Please guide me to make my phone interesting.
P.S:- U can term me as a lame guy when it comes to mobiles
Thanks
