Felt good about the X10 today!

I was at a meeting today, the guy next to me had the HTC Evo 4G, looked like a sweet phone, but in the 2 hour meeting the guy had to take the battery out FIVE times because the phone froze on him. In the year I have owned my X10 I have had to do that twice that I can recall. Made me feel pretty good about my trusty x10! Just thought I'd share given all the *****ing about our phone sometimes

That's why I love my phone. Never had any problem with it. Specially now that there's a lot of custom rom out there.

well, after all seems there`s no reason for battery complain
is right where it should be, in battery case
didn`t you tease with the guy? i would!

The X10 is very stable, even with mods.
But the EVO isn't bad, too. Wish they'd sell it here, too. Want at it as my second phone xD

Since I got my X10 last July, I never ever had to remove the battery for any other reason. Never hang or freeze on me yet, knock on wood! He! He!

Hey guys,
I just sold my HD2 and with the money i bought a brand new x10. I deceided to post a thank-you-all-for-the-support-post at their sub forum and they almost ate me alive. I was called crazy etc, now since i received the brand new package and that i have spent almost 3-4 days of heavy usage i can say honestly the following:
1. From the design point of view the device is awesome, fne and classy.
2. The OS is stable and the harware works just great.
3. From the camera point of view there is not much to compare, actually comparing the cameras of HTC and Sony is pretty insulting i guess.
4. The headphones from the pack are great
So anybody can feel free to diss X10, i can say that the phone is great and i do not regret selling the HD2 for this Sony masterpiece.

I feel sorry for two guys: the owner of the HTC Evo and the guy whom opened a thread asking for opinions about X10, but at the end he will get a Samsung (fa)i(l)Phone Galaxy
F*ck the negativity, f*ck SE's decision, f*ck bootloader, X10 rules!!!

X10 is even cooler than ARC
Hi,
From the design point of view (phone sleeping!) I think that the front-view of X10 is way more balanced than XPERIA ARC. Have you noticed the distance between the top of the screen and the top of the heady phone?
OK, ARC is thin on the side-view but phones do not "walk like the Egyptians"
I would expect that the follow-up on X10 would be something like the attached picture... I love the visual balance of the X10.
Bye,
Alex

Same for me, I dun have such problem after using my X10 compared to my previous HTC devices.
The user experience for X10 is simply great, SE has done a good job.

I must be just unlucky then, I've had to remove the battery loads and the phone keeps restarting. As I write this I'm preparing my phone to send it for repair.

just because U installed custom Rom or didn't update properly. Bad luck for U. But it worth to try that U backup everything ( but no the downloaded from market), hard resest. and try to repair by SEUS. Then if U have 0.24 or 0.435 build, everything shuold work fine

I'm gonna cheat on my X10 with the Arc......does that make me horrible? Lol

Don't get why previous X10 owners wants to get out and buy another SE android device. After the way they treated you with this device. Im not going back to a SE device next time I'll go out for a new smartphone.

Its simple....because some people actually like/love there X10's (myself included) and I do not care about SE and anything they have said. The boys here at XDA have us covered.
The Arc has everything I want in a smartphone....so why wouldn't I buy it? Its fits my needs better than any HTC, Samsung, Motorolla, etc etc.
I don't care about dual core this and dual core that...I don't care about "retina display"
I don't care about my phone having the highest specs possible when released...because in reality, it will be outdated in a month anyways.
SE never promised or said they would give us 2.2+...they have given us what they said they would (except DLNA...bad bad boys for that)
Anyways, I think you understand what Im trying to say...just because your not happy with SE, doesn't mean everyone else feels the same.
Oh...and don't take anything I said "offensive" or "personal"....I wasn't being rude or aggresive
Just thought Id add that before I start a war lol

Yeah youre right but SE does one thing better then all other Android Phones, the Style. The UI and Phone Style is very good i think no other Android Phone looks that good. Atleast this Time they launch the Phone on latest Android Version so its already one good step forward^^ And i dont think they will again do the same like with X10. But i buyed the X10 becouse of the Design most. I could have taken a Desire too but i didnt liked the Style i only liked the newer Android Version, everyone likes other things but for me stock Android is very ugly and alot of Android Phones too. Gingerbread is not that ugly but still not that good.

+1 for that my friend. SE ui is extremely nice to look at. And the phone styles they create are excellent. I don't think they will be late with updating anymore. I'm sure they learned....and the hard way....they were blasted from all over the globe lol.
The Arc is launching with the newest android os....so that's one step in the right direction right from the start. But if the arc was launching with even froyo....I'd still be on board to buy this phone. I'm not to picky when it comes to android os versions.....well as long as its not lower than 2.1.
PS. I'm actually using you cm rom v4.1 right now....excellent work man....tho I like your old ui without the arc style better.
Best 2.2 rom I've tried tho.

I pass from iPhone 4 to X10, no complain about it, only the lack of INSTAGRAM, I also have a Samsung Galaxy tab and Exchange email capability is the only one thing better than X10! Both devices are Telcel now unbranded!

Atrix vs arc vs nexus s

Looking for new phone but can't decide which one to buy and why which would you guys go for? And why? Please help me out and share you taughts.

The only thing the Arc has of interest to me would be the camera. But apparently people are reporting that it's a bit underwhelming. I was hoping that the Exmor-R sensor would really dazzle consumers but it's not as great as most expected.
Nexus S I wouldn't even consider. Atrix all the way. It'll be nice that the Arc will have a stronger development community than the crappy X10 but it's specs just aren't up to snuff.

Go ATRIX. I've had all 3. Arc is nice but v plastic. Nexus is bit boring, poor camera bit plastic.
Once you've had dual core you wont go back.

Check gsmarena.com and you can check and compare all 3 devices the pros n cons.
Personally, I like the ATRIX. It still blows away the competition. Plus its DUAL CORE!
Braggin rights!

At CTIA I looked at an Arc for a few minutes, it was nice.
It felt larger and cheaper somehow. Screen was very colorful "Super AMOLEDish"

I like my Atrix better. I DID like the Galaxy S2 but it's not ready and the Atrix is! - was.

I agree...

The best thing about the Arc is its software... super smooth, Gingerbread, lovely widgets...etc.
But it seems everyone says the build feels cheap, which is a real shame.
If you can afford to wait a couple of months, the EVO 3D seems to be the best phone you can get. If you're not so big on 3D, get the HTC Pyramid (Sensation).
If you can't afford to wait: Atrix.

If atrix is good than those 2 phones. Howcome so many people complaining about the atrix?

On thing that comes to mind with the Arc is "fingerprints".... The CPU is a bit underwelming too, I disagree the UI is fluid, its pretty laggy actually.
If I had the choice of the Xperia Play or Arc, I'd get the X Play.

I know, nobody makes phones sexiest as Sony Ericsson does. Arc is beautiful but is more of the same SE sh!t.
I think I am a SE fan, and actually a moto hater XD but atrix has change everything (sounds like the iphone ad, but its true). I hope Motorola don't let the atrix in the past so quickly but I think as atrix is the first of all new generation smartphones this not gonna happen.
I would be happy with Honecomb XD

Dual core is the shyt.

New android girl....help

Hi everyone, I'm really interested to get a new phone android phone. I have only 2 choices here which is
Nexus S
Xperia arc
don't know which is better. I'm tired of my phone. Please help me
Thanks

Haven't heard too much about the Xperia Arc but you can take a look at some of the reviews and compare them to the Nexus S and see which one you would like more:
Xperia Arc Review: http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/30/sony-ericsson-xperia-arc-review/
Nexus S Review: http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/10/nexus-s-review/
All that said, we liked the Arc and we think it has a lot to offer to the right sort of buyer. If you're obsessive about display technologies and vanilla Google software like we are, we'd advise looking at the tried and tested Nexus S. But if you just fancy an uncomplicated, big-screened phone to enjoy movies on during your daily commute, the Xperia Arc might just be your perfect candidate. It doesn't really lack anything on the feature front, but it's Sony Ericsson's execution and occasionally odd design choices that hold it back from being a triumph.

Call volume is fine. Battery is perfectly fine, one of the best (some people will debate about this.. but personally for me it has been really good).
NFC is still relatively new technology and it depends on your area. It's probably pretty pointless right now but it'll become big in the future.
Check with the store selling NS in Canada for its return policy. You can return it if you don't like it.

im running out of sony ericson after the X10.

Defiantly NS. Sony is crapware

I have the NS, and my buddy just bought the Arc 2 weeks ago. I must say go for NS. Arc gets real hot after gaming at the back part of the ear piece. The heat can be felt from the front as well, making calls uncomfortable after gaming. No front facing camera, which we should be expecting more and better softwares that uses it. Oh, the auto dimming is kinda weird, it makes the screen flickers the whole time, you can definitely notice it, my buddy and I thought it was a defect at first, but another buddy who bought the Arc also had the same thing going on.
Widgets/ sony skin is not bad if you prefer non stock look. Oh screen scratches too, so put on the skin protector that comes with the phone asap.
After playing with the htc incredible s/ desire s, i kinda liked the feel and built of the pair of HTCs. Espescially desire s, 3.7" aluminium back, real sleek industrial design, comes with front facing camera, android 2.3 + their new htc sense skin. Incredible s rotating home, search etc function button is kinda cool with a slightly bigger screen/display. I'd say take these choices for comparisons if your area offer.

I would either go with the NS or myTouch 4g if I was you. You can't go wrong with either phone. The myTouch 4g is much more user friendly if you are new to Android and it has a lot of features. The NS is more of an experimental phone that should/will get the latest Android updates before other Android devices. I recommend watching YouTube reviews to get an idea of which phone fits you the best.

They have unlocked bootloaders on their phones though (not from the start... you have to opt in). Seems a little bit weird with the whole fiasco on the PS3.

+1 youtube is the best place to find reviews bc most tech sites for some reason think if its not an iphone well its not an iphone. For example iphone gets a 9 and ns gets an 8 then they do a follow up video and the ns beats the iphone, that doesn't make sense. Anyway I would recommend the mytouch 4g for a first time android phone as well. If you want ease of use and a good phone go with the mytouch if you want immediate updates and a good phone plus the samoled screen then go ns. Just my personal opinion.

You guys are aware that the OP is from Vancouver, Canada? HTC Glacier (MyTouch4G) is not available outside the states. So this isn't an option.

Out of that list. Nexus S is definitely the best from that lineup unless OP decides to change carriers.

after coming from the SE X10 i would never go back to SE that company brings you through one of the worlds finest emotional rollarcoasters you can ride on in terms of hate and love relationship haha

Nexus S hands down. Don't think twice.

Nexus S... I just came from the Motorola milestone, I seriously can not believe how good the Nexus is in comparison, motorola is supposed to have best signal quality, my Nexus beats it by at least 2x just in that area.

Thanks i am from canada on 28th I have to choose between arc or nexus s. Is ns easy to root and put rom on it?

It's a bit different though. They created the PS3 software which was not meant to be open while Android is created by someone else and meant to be open. Plus, Sony doesn't run the whole mobile division since Ericsson is still there (I think).

Phone recommendation

I have the chance to sell my x10 and replace it with some other high end phone.I have Samsung galaxy s2,sensation and Xperia play in mind. Can anyone recommend me.

sgs2 and sensation are both very good looking and performing phones.
but have you ever tried out a device with htc sense on it? if not, do it, before you grab the sensation!!! i really don't like this sense-thing, because i think it "encomplicates" the whole system...but it's surely a question of taste...
samsung's touchwiz is not that spectacular, so this shouldn't be a problem at all.

Why are you considering the play? Do you want to game a lot? I don't know how the games are but you could ask in the play forum.

Don't like the UI and design of SG2.On paper,Xperia Duo looks good.What is the release date.

I'm enjoying my EVO 3D very much.
With that said, I think you should decide what features you require and those you'd like to have. Check out GMS Arena's database of phones to see which phones suit those needs. Then do some searching online for reviews and user commentary of the phones you may be interested in.

I think u should probably go for GS2.Its one of the best smart phone so far.Or,if u can wait for some time,go for next generation devices.

Upgrade from Arc S?

Hey guys, looking for some advice. I bought an arc s about 4 months ago to replace my dying x10i and I've been very happy with it, however it's starting to feel a bit dated and I don't know what would be a good upgrade. I have an excellent sim only contract so would like to buy a handset upfront, but I don't want to spend silly money.
I have installed ics and really like the experience, however the occasional lag is quite annoying. I think I just want a decent handset with more ram really, but I think a galaxy s2 would be equally dated in another 4 months.
I just bought an iPad 3 and really enjoy how nippy it is, I've been considering moving over to iPhone for my next phone..lout would have to wait and see what comes out this fall.
I dunno....maybe I just need to be patient but though I would check I'm not missing some super secret , perfect phone I haven't seen yet! Would. A Sony Xperia P be a good replacement for an arc s? Seems almost the same specs but double the ram... Thoughts?

Well as you are now forever locked into Apple as a single hardware supplier for your tablet, are you prepared to buy separate apps for your phone?
If so, then I would look at the Xperia S... If you aren't, then sell your iPad3, buy a decent Android tablet and a Xperia S.

My brother purchased an iphone4, i asked him if he new he would be restricted with apps, roms and hardware, he said yes its not a problem for him. Hes now wanting to be shot of it, every update destroys his jailbreak and it eats into his time putting it back again. In short he now wishes he hadn't gone down the apple route, although both he and i agree its a nice bit of kit just a bit restricted if you like fiddling and playing with software i guess. Each to their own i suppose. I think his main gripe is with the constant use of i tunes software for his films and movies. I rather like the look of that new hyabusa ? Very much Arc looking but slightly more updated specs, not sure it will be near top of the pops still when its launched here but that's never really bothered me as long as it does what i want it too alls good and rosey. More ram and dual core with a bigger screen will have to see how it sits in the hand. I picked up the SGS II last year and for me it didnt feel good in the hand so left it there i know my arc isnt bleeding edge far from it, butt eh screen is decent and it is comfortable, hope the hyabusa feels the same just hope it doesnt come with too high a price tag.

Well I'm quite happy with the stock ipad experience and quite happy to do the majority of my app purchases for gaming etc on that platform.
For my mobile, I don't play games or watch movies often... It's mostly Facebook, messaging, browsing etc. I know I could make do with a midrange phone for that but I like to be upto date and have a fast user experience. The xperia s feels a little too big when I've used it and I worry it will be the usual Sony affair and not be as fast as it should be with those specs.

How can it be that the Xperia U is faster than the S? That's not reassuring...often phones feel nippy when new and nothing installed. Or maybe the S will improve with ICS? I am considering getting an S as I could grab one for around £200

The remark is basically inspired from what I have seen with my wife... She's a technology illiterate and iPhone did the trick for her. She had a decent android phone which basically "never worked right", regardless of updates etc. IPhone is a dumbed down version of android with no possibility to customize, with pretty eye candy, sold at a premium price ... IPad is the big brother... You catch my drift ... I just can't believe you spent money on an iPad ... But that's just me and nothing personal ...

The Xperia U feels REALLY fast compared to my ARC S
But then it's got a low-res display, so it's less for the GPU to drive, perhaps???? It's also Gingerbread not ICS....

Sorry, typo, missed out the ARC bit..
The Xperia U feels REALLY fast compared to my ARC S
But then it's got a low-res display, so it's less for the GPU to drive, perhaps???? It's also Gingerbread not ICS....

If you are a woman who has no time or need for Android development, who has no idea about hardware and wants something stable, buy your iPhone now and never look back... Android will not satisfy you, Xperia S, NXT whatnot ....

That was down right sexist. Don't judge the whole mankind by one example. I'm a girl and would never sell my soul to the devil (read: Apple). Love Linux (Mint) and Android, and I'm quite an average ROM and kernel flasher.

JJ's Hybrid ROM 3.2 was a fresh new beginning for my S-less arc. I'm not your average rich person who changes phones every 2 weeks, but I wouldn't even think about selling my arc if it wasn't for the super bad quality of the housing (cracks, etc.).

No it wasn't sexist... .... It is not only one example that runs blind behind the stupid iphone bandwagon... Did you miss the pink otter boxes being sold everywhere for that precious iphone? You are or seem to be an exception...

I see more Samsungs and HTCs, with a bit of Sony (Ericsson) here and there. Apple might aim the female buyers, but it's far from being woman's only phone-friend. And I see you're from the States - the weird part of the world full of parents who buy their 4 yo an iCrapper to play with. I've always found US Americans super weird people.

Truth be told I know plenty of guys, in military, flying attack helicopters, and drooling over iphones... Best they could do is jailbreak it and change the toolbar color... Whoop de doo... I played with my wife's 3gs... Simplified crap. I merely have Sony because all I own consumer electronics wise is Sony... Arc is an ok phone. But even with ion they are behind the power curve... If I were you I'd use that arc with their latest GB... Heck come up 250 bucks I can sell you my arc S. They fixed the Crack issue with arc S... Mine is brand new though
