But you confirm: when I go abroad I will also have to connect to internet to use Calendar?
I tried putting the phone in airplane mode (i.e., no internet or mobile signal) and calendar came up for me. of course, I have a google account. If i remember, when i update to 2.1 (if it ever gets here for me!) i'll see if i can use calendar without putting in an account.

Thank you.
Well my phone is just upgraded to 2.1 and it still asks the same thing.
But maybe it just needs to login once and than it just works without connectng.
It somehow funny you guys don't know what your device is doing...........
X10 seems a very nice device.
Posted by moogoo
yea. once you login, it shouldn't need internet access unless you set it to sync to your calendars and you can set that to NEVER.
But.. when i update i'll test all that and report back.
Posted by fjcarlsson
I can confirm that the phone does not load calendar until it can verify google account when you insert new sim. So internet access is required for you foreign sim or you will be somewhat limited going abroad. This applies even when sync is turned off. New sim also prompts confirmation of google password. Does anyone know a nice calendar app that is not linked to an account.

After over a week I decided to email unlocking.com with my frustration. I threatened I would ask for a refund from Paypal if they did not deliver as promised after 7 full days.
Came home and saw a refund was enacted by them today. I got no reply from my email, no refund explanation. No apology, nothing.
I am at a point now where I think I may very well find an AT&T customer and resell it the same as I got it. Anyone want this for $319? I am royally disappointed at this stage. I sort of blamed myself but I thought the ray of hope I saw re: unlocking these was enough but sadly it seems I made a mistake.
My HTC Aria was unlocked in NO TIME...why is this phone so hard to unlock? My return to
seems to be closer to being short lived. I don't know what else to do besides return to the previous site I pematurely canceled on and try again. I visited XDA-Developers and I messaged the user on the site who seemed to have been helping for a fee but no reply.
So that's one Xperia X10a from AT&T brand new...unuseable.
So now maybe I need to tough it ought with a Motorola DEFY (now that's a neat phone), or muscle it out and go HTC Desire or Samsung Captivate (do I really need to buy another branded phone?). 
People may ask why do I keep buying branded phones...some of the Android models support European 3G. I live in Jamaica and we use US 3G bands...granted my primary network doesn't offer 3G but my secondary one does...just thought it would be cool to have the option. Plus...buying the AT&T locked ones usually work out cheaper (even with purchasing unlock codes) than buying the International versions.
*SIGH*

I was told there are times when the consumer can call the operator and request an unlock code? How easy do they give that up? But I can't call personally being from Jamaica, and no AT&T account to discuss.
Is there anyone who can assist me in this regard?

Sorry buddy I dont know anything about unlocking.
Never had to do it myself.
Go here and contact Manish Kumar http://gadgets.apnafundaz.com/
Maybe he can help you or at least send you in the right direction.

try ebay for unlock codes?
Posted by Sator1973
@JAGUY85, in my experience, operators must unlock a phone for free when the contract period is over. Thatīs one of the reasons I NEVER sign contracts for more than 12 months. I got my X10 for 9 euros, paying in total 280 euros for phone, calls and internet in 12 months, an unlocked X10 would have cost me about 350 euros without a contract. If I get a phone that cheap with a contract , Iīm not gonna complain about them locking it. Itīs part of the deal.

Where did you get your X10 from?
Posted by Ravager
My X10 still lags like hll! Don't know what's the problem... Yesterday i installed 2.2 instead, took a while but know i have it on dual boot
It works fine, still a few things that doesn't work, like the speaker, but i'm confident the guys at XDA will fix it. And it is so fast, got over 2500 points in quadrant! Really hope SE will release a update 2 on 2.1 because i love the look of their version of it
Posted by Oogamous
Ok,
Using 2.1 since a over a week now. Have to say that its UI is extremely pretty looking. Much more sharper and richer. But then there are times where it lags terribly. Opening just a couple of applications makes it lag like hell. Opening the menu to access the apps is laggy, scrolling is very non-responsive.
Sometimes the phone gets so laggy that i cant even open the phonebook and find my required contact without waiting for 5 minutes to the thing to load!
I hardly have any apps. Not much widgets either. Mediascape lags like hell. The only solution i have found is to reboot my phone atleast twice a day to make sure many things do not run in the background to keep it running smoothly.
Face recognition service hogs most of the RAM along with internet hungry widgets.
If they can make the lag go away then its a great phone. The HD video recording in daytime was freaking awesome.
Loving the social phonebook as well.

What's the adobe flash performance like? and what about general browsing speeds?
Posted by Hobbs
Why do your phones lag so.
Ive have no problems whatsoever with my 2.1 so far.Pretty nippy for me.
Enjoy dual booting.I aint going to test that ROM in the state its in.Don't see any point other than curiosity at this point.But yes share your Froyo experience with us.Would love to hear about the things that work.

when we are talking flash you mean sites or flash games? or both
speaker means you can't hear incoming calls? that is kinda important
[ This Message was edited by: SKIBBE on 2010-11-24 20:40 ]
Posted by Ravager
Flash, only tested SVT play and cnet tv and they both work but slow, haven't tried games.
Yes incoming calls works, bluetooth audio and audio through jack works. Wifi do not work, can connect to router but no data connection.
It feels smoother then 2.1, but i have had nothing but problems with 2.1 so...
i actually can play songs in Spotify without lag
Give me a site with a good flash game and i will test it and get back to you!

I assume 2.1 has no flash support?
Or it has?
Posted by Phoner
There is no flash support in 2.1. It is only possible to watch youtube clips through app.

Huge pity. I wasn't even thinking of YouTube which is nicely covered
but about some flash pages...
So only Skyfire than? How is it?
Posted by Phoner
Looking at the huge progress with Custom 2.2 ROM, X10i will have Flash support on a stable firmware soon.
Posted by moogoo
2.2 sounds great...i'm tempted to slap it on my x10! but i kinda like SE's customizations... does the 2.2 custom rom mean that all SE features are pretty much unusable? (HD video, face recognition, timescape/mediascape, UI Skin)
Posted by Hobbs
Can't wait to try 2.2 myself on the X10.I hope a working ROM gets released soon.Its going to be fantastic if everything works fine.
Posted by Ravager
@moogoo
yes, well really it's up to the devs how much time they are willing to spend on it
I'm not using 2.2 in daily life and probably never will, flash and better performance isn't worth the loss of all the SE stuff.

Do any of you guys know any software or any program I could use to retrieve deleted sms messages from the x10? I accidentally deleted a conversation thread that i did not intend to delete and it wasn't backed up. Please help? Thanks
Posted by Bonovox
If it ain't backed up it would be deleted forever
Posted by Hobbs
Lemoncake
Yep I dont think you gonna ever see those sms's again.Be more careful next time if it meant so much to you.
Posted by JAGUY85
Finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now I need to update to 2.1 (the SE software says I have latest). Is there a way to flash it to 2.1 and keep the X10a capability (US 3G bands).
I also want to root it.
Posted by Hobbs
Congrats Jag.Head on to XDA.Sure you will find what you need regarding flashing a X10a unit.have fun; )
Posted by JAGUY85
Root completed.
Having a little issue figuring out the update but will see...
Posted by Bonovox
Can anyone help here. I need to find a semc usb flash driver for x10. For some reason when I try to update I plug in usb & it does not find my phone
Posted by Rookwise
You'll find it on the memory card that comes with the phone. You can also download the new versions of pc companion, update service and pc suite. You get the drivers with the programs.
Posted by Bonovox
I downloaded the latest version of pc companion I don't have pc suite I don't think & I think update servic is the latest not sure
EDIT: I re-downloaded all the pc companion & SEUS software to no avail it just will not find the SEMC USB Flash driver Is there a link someone can give me to the driver??[ This Message was edited by: Bonovox on 2010-11-26 22:46 ]

See if this works for you...
Drivers
Posted by Bonovox
Thanks
Posted by Rookwise
Are you still using AVG ? I've known AVG to block the com port of
phones. Used to have problems with the P series and some A200 platform phones back when I used AVG and NIS also. Had to disable them for however long it took to do what I needed and then reenable to stay protected.
EDIT
What happened to your Desire ?? Did you not Desire it anymore ?
[ This Message was edited by: Rookwise on 2010-11-26 23:41 ]
Posted by Bonovox
The Desire HD was a big heavy expensive over rated lump of shit 
Yes,I use the AVG full paid version I got it cheap. It never worked by the way it installed just now but still the same it's driving me insane Oh & yes I decided to re-buy the x10 & I love it 2nd time round [ This Message was edited by: Bonovox on 2010-11-26 23:45 ]

I have no idea what alternative I can use for downloading this update. I tried WI Fi it never worked either. May try on my brothers pc see if that works. Does Davinci require you to turn the phone off too for the update?? That's where the problem is when it's off I plug it in & Windows makes an annoying short trumpet sound & driver not found message pops up 
Posted by Rookwise
You turn the phone off. Wait 30secs. Then hold down the Back button and plug in the USB cable.
Have a look in your device manager to see if there was a problem with the installation. Also. When the phone is on and your pugging a usb cable in. You need to unmount the SD card via the drop down menu so pc companion works.
One phone I certainly wont be selling is my X10 or my Mini Pro. They're staying with me
Get yourself Poweramp from the Android market. Its much better than mediascape music player and you can make playlists on the phone instead of using Media Go. Loads of preset EQ's and a manual amp setting. Sounds much better via my DS205 with HPM-66 headphones and also via my cars bluetooth connection. Only Ģ3.19 as well
[ This Message was edited by: Rookwise on 2010-11-27 00:04 ]

Yeah did that it was not mounted. Where do I find device manager??
Posted by Rookwise
I have no idea with W7 as I havent used it. On XP its in the Control Pannel under the System icon.
Posted by Bonovox
OK will look now. I have never had a problem with updating before but this happened with the x8 aswell which leads me to think that it could be something on my pc
When I was let down by the over rated HTC Desire HD I could not think of anything else I really wanted & came back to Only thing I really hate is the call volume but it's not too bad. I shall look at that App then sounds good Media Scape is not too great imo. I woke up one morning when I last had the x10 & all my album art had vanished The Desire HD had many many bad points for such an expensive phone a real let down[ This Message was edited by: Bonovox on 2010-11-27 00:17 ]

Congratulations Bonovox.I cant wait to see what Tsepz has to say about this
Enjoy it this time round.

Photaf 3D Panaromic.Not a bad app at all.Havent done much experimenting but heres a shot of I think it was 3 or 4 shots.
The key is to set it to Automatic,move the phone sideways and let the app tell you when to take the shot.Will try take a full 360 Panaromic today.(how the hell is that going to fit on this page is another story)
