YES finaly!

Doing the 2.1 update now...why is PC Companion taking so long to update? It's stuck on Stage 2 "Preparing computer for software update" initialising and it's now reached 100% over the course of 2.5 hours. Does this normally take that long? I think it's still progressing as I can see the tiny flickering every now and then. I really don't want to restart again as it might take just as long.

@elad the worst thing you can do is restart the process once it's started. DON'T DO IT. You may brick your phone. Mine took ages at the download stage but I'm pretty sure it's because the servers were all crammed up with traffic. You just have to sit it out, but 2.5 hours seems a very long time. The actual flashing process takes about 15-20 minutes.

For all i know...I could be waiting all day!! This is tormenting...I just want to get it done and over with after 6 months of waiting for this update and now that is available it's bloody playing up on me!! In fact it's actually over 3 hrs now.

I'd never do an update with PC Companion, im still uneasy about it, always use SEUS.

Anyone know how to get the DNLA working on the X10? I have just taken a HD vidio although cant find a function to transfer the video to tv.
Apparently DNLA was supposed to be in this update although were the hell the function is who knows.
I wouldn't mind trying this feature out with my Sony Bravia NX series tv that has all the bells and whistles like WiFi streaming, You Tube, BBC iPlayer and of course DNLA.

I have read that se were to include DNLA support in their 4th quarter update which this 2.1 is the 4th quarter.
Camera flash should of been included in this update too for taking pictures, that's just a normal thing.
Apart from that HD video recording looks good.
I didn't have any problems updating either and it didn't even take 5 minutes yesterday with PC Companion.

Yeah, but they moved DLNA support together with some other Media- and TimeScape improvements to the second update refered to as 2.1x. It was mentioned somewhere in the SE blog a couple of month ago.

The X10 mini has had that feature since day one. Not sure why it is still not included in X10. The X10 mini
also got continuous AF with the latest update like the big brother.

Ahhhhhhh I cant stand waiting!!!! I'm gonna check again when I get home. Is a camera flash feature really coming? I thought the photo light was it and wasn't meant for being a flash when taking pics

Finally! 2.1 in Poland! Installed, checked and i can see it's a little bit faster

A feature I would really like to see with the Xperia cameras is the ability to keep taking shots by keeping your finger pressed on the capture button so you can then choose the photo you want to keep or keep all of them. This would be beneficial in the sports mode in particular or for night time shots so you can choose the best photo as I always have problems taking decent photos at night with the X10, especially if the object is moving say like a person/s or fireworks in the sky.
I always have this feature switched on with my proper Sony Cybershot camera, would be nice if it was the X10 as well.

Hello All
i have installed firefox for my X10 2.1 and used the sync option and it has copied all the bookmarks history visited pages and everything to my X10
did anyone tried it?
great browser but 2 annoying things it will leads to uninstall:
first the installation took about 46M of the internal memory
second it is lagging even there is no other application running except advanced task killer.

Was that their previous Best Shot feature they did??
Posted by elad
Left the pc on this afternoon in the hope that it would get updated when I returned this evening but it was still stuck at 100% initialising on PC Companion (that's a flaming 9 hour!!!). Anyway, I had to restart again only to be told by PC Companion that the phone was up to date even though it was still 1.6. What a piece of shit! Got really fed up trying so I decided to give it a go using SEUS and it instantly recognised that an update was available so I went ahead. Finally...I got 2.1; took less than 10 mins. What a piss about with PC Companion. SE, thanks for nothing!

Yeah thats the official name for that feature its on a lot of the cameras old and new. Another good one is being able to swipe the camera from left to right to get that 'panoramic' shot like whats one the TX9 and NEX-5/NEX-3 it's brilliant.
http://www.sony.co.uk/product/dsc-t-series/dsc-tx9

It would be good to see them features on high end flagship phones.

Did you make any vcard backups of contacts direct to memory card? that you could use.
Me personally because I have so many contacts I've got vcard backups on my memory cards, same on my pc also by the Sony Ericsson backup and restore and also using My Phone Explorer and then also in Outlook lol. I wouldn't rely on just one way if something does go wrong.
Otherwise surely dupes can be indiviually deleted and a fresh backup made of the correct contact/address book.
Posted by Ricky D
@elad
goto settings and let all your contacts sync with google contacts ('setting' -> 'accounts & sync' -> gmail -> 'sync contacts'), then log in to gmail.com with your google id (after the phone has finished it's syncing process) and go to 'contacts' -> 'find and merge duplicates'. It lists all the duplicates and let's you decide which ones to merge together and which ones not to. Really simple. It also then means you never have to backup your contacts again as they'll always sync up to the gmail contact book and conversely changes sync down to your phone automatically.
Posted by Toney_Ericsson
Wouldn't listen to the above crap ^
Google has had many problems with losing and messing contacts up, also problems with other syncing applications which mess up contacts like that time with Picasa or simply when they changed from googlemail to gmail.
It's not a hard backup just the same as Sony Ericssons cloud sync which again many people have managed to wipe their 'backups' away.
I wouldn't use that shit and certainly wouldn't rely on it.
Saving to vcard or similar like My Phone Explorer .mpb is the best way.

hey guys...
does anybody with a white x10 use any type of protective covering (i.e., silicone/rubber/hard case)? If so, would you mind stating which brand you use and what your thoughts on it are. After dropping my phone once and cracking the digitizer, I'd like to have some more protection just in case i'm clumsy again.
Thanks!

I have a white X10 and I've used the original shatter protection shield and the Martin Fields very expensive thing. I didn't like the martin Fields one, it had a very slight purpleish tinge in sunlight (unnoticeable when the screen is on but noticeable in reflections when the screen is off), I also found the original SE protector to be smoother and didn't have a rather annoying cut-out over the light sensor like the Martin Fields did. I vowed to go naked once I got the 2.1 update so I could feel like I have a new phone. After 4 days with no protection I'm loving the smooth screen. It's like softer than silk to touch. I wouldn't go back to Martin Fields protector but I can't get an original protector. I should never have taken that off.

Don't worry Ricky.
Mine is taken off more than couple of months now.
And I still love it.

@RickyD I used clearcoat before which protected both my screen and most of the back of the phone. It was perfectly clear but what I didn't like was after time it started to discolor for whatever reason (I'm guessing skin oils/dust etc), which made my sexy x10 look kinda dingy. SO i took it off and have been going naked and loved it.. until it slipped out of my hand and dropped. So now, I'm looking for a screen protector that won't discolor and an overall body case/covering that won't disclor. Even though I preferred the slim nothingness of the clearcoat, i'll sacrifice a bit of bulk from a silicon case or something for no discoloration and a bit extra protection. Since replacing my digitizer is costing me a good $80 (shipped).

Hello,
I have updated to 2.1 nordic firmware, from my Greece and Balkans original 1.6 X10. I am experiencing very often disconnects of the WiFi, even though I have set it to never enter power saving state for wireless.
I find the phone having reverted to mobile connection, which has NEVER happened before, when it still was with the 1.6 version the WiFi was rock stable (no disconnects whatsoever, for days and days).
This is a serious problem, mobile data costs money and phone should use wireless networks whenever available.

Tried that but it still hasn't got rid of the duplication completely. Can't believe SE (or Android) have not fixed this bug...surely there must be a way of deleting the duplication without having to create all the contacts again.

The really weird thing is that in Android 1.6 version this problem did not appear at all. 2.1 seems to have some power saving options that get activated by force, even if the end user specificaly chose someting else.

I Think one way out of this is. If You go to your phone book then contacts at the to left there is a group tab when you press there will take you to the phone,Facebook,Sony rricsson and Google groups just click only one off the groups that might help get rid of your duplicates contacts, only found out about this yesterday of trying sort it out fifths best part of a day! Good it helps...

I bought 3 different USB car charger, only 1 works with my Xperia x10. the other 2 doesn't seem to work. but it's not defective, it charges other phones, even through the same USB cable.
Does this means that only some works on SE phones while some doesn't?
The one that works is a generic brand, but so is the other 2 that doesn't. All seems to work with other devices as well. It seems SE is specific.
Does anyone else have the same problem? is there an explanation?
