@500 do you have the multitouch kernel installed? If so beware the update may be a false dawn and just returning you back to the pre multitouch kernel.

yea i do.... figured it might be that...
anyone else getting the update msg? or can others confirm if its only coming after changing the kernel to the MT one?? (just plug it into SEUS or PC Companion and check)
Posted by SKIBBE
@AndyD777 Is it a big hazzle to run a custom rom on the x10i ? i have never done such a thing.
and i guess there is no MT support for 2.2 custom roms
Edit did som quick searches, the MT-kernel is recomended to have and a rooted 2.1 rom (but do they mean a pre-rooted, i only have rooted with 1 click metod, and added the MT-kernel afterwards)

today i got a notification message about new software update on the notification bar (about 8.8 mb), can someone confirm if the official MT update is released? i am on:
2.1update-1
2.0.46 baseband version
build number 2.0.A.0.504
i know there is a newer firmware but since then, but i am skipping it to the MT.
thanks.

@Skibbe. I am using MT on the custom ROMs with no problems
Here is a good guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=908791
If you get stuck let me know.

@AndyD777 it's a idiots guide but i cant seem to install xRecovery
The three magnifiers turns red and they show these errors
1 file exists
2 file exists
3 read only file system
(i have some optimizer installed with JIT and shit, busybox was installed with the root if i can remember correctly)
and i tried booting with constantly pressing back (if xrecovery already was installed without my knowlage)
Started with an clean update wiping everything, then rootme.tar.bz2 and than adding the MT addon again, THEN trying the guide.. will report back. the time is an issue here, i am at work

Thanks for that guide Andy, was so close to installing 2.2.1 Froyo on my X10 until i saw that even in beta3 the camcoder doesnt work, hopefuly it will in the next Beta.
Cant wait until we get Gingerbread through custom ROMs

totally stupid question coming....
I upgraded to 2.1 today.. and want to check wants on the sd card.
What app do I use? In other words, what is the inbuilt file manager called?
Second question,
My set up for email only shows POP and IMAP and not exchange server
Where can I find those?

@ofiaich: you can use Astro file manager and such.
Regarding the email setup, you should go for the POP3 option.
Posted by Lightspeed_x
@ofiaich: Astro File Manager is good, also you could try File Expert, it has a couple nice features of his own...
Posted by AndyD777
@Skibbe That's correct you have to log in at least once to the old market before replacing it with the new version.
Any other problems let me know bud.
Also Beta3 is now available to download
[ This Message was edited by: AndyD777 on 2011-01-26 14:22 ]
Posted by ofiaich
@tranced? pop3 for an exchange server account?? I don't think that will work. I am remembering the Andorid exchange set up for my Nexus One and think its different.
thanks Lightspeed_x and tranced. I know about Astro etc and have the apk files on the card, but can't access the card!
Yes, I know, just download again from the market but it is my friends phone and I need her to set up GMail again to access the market!
Once I got the market running, and Astro, then I can restore the Titanium back up that I made and get her up and running again.

Hi everyone!
I do not think this needs another thread because the application is on the X10
is Moxier any good? I want to download to X10, University email, calendar and address book.
I know I can use GMail for calendar and address book, and even synch PC's Outlook with GMail,
But short question, experiences using Moxier please..
thanks!

Well ive charged myphone up 3x times now and so far all have gone to 100%
ive been bunged up with a cold and well angry birds seemed a good thing to keep me
pre-offed the annoyance of it all !
what i wanted to ask was I heard that there is 2x Screen protectors on the X10i when you get it,
OK so the first one is easy its that one with the writing on that comes off easily.
but onto that second one
have glued on saying that cos I can't seem to get it of and im scared if I do it
i'll scratch the screen, is this protector ment to be taken off or have
left it on the phone for some BIG reason?
tbh I wasn't aware it was a screen protector till Bonovox mentioned it to me,
and now I can see it how
have placed it on badley
whats the downfalls leave it on or get it off?
what have you folk done about it?
Posted by Rookwise
The screen protector is supposed to be there Kerry. The pre fit one on both my black and my white x10's have been fitted perfectly. There have been people who have taken theirs off. Some have put another non SE one on and some have just left it off completely. Personally I've kept them on and will only be removing them if they start to get badly marked.
Posted by Miss UK
I can't get it of so im just leaving till it decides it needs to come off itself then!
why have
plastered that on it anyway does the screen get badley marked without it there?
anyone
Posted by Ricky D
The second protectot is for shatter resistance rather than scratch resistance, meaning you could shatter the screen without it but with it you'll start to get scratches. I removed mine after about 8 months and not looked back since. It doesn't come off easily, I used a knife edge at an a very soft angle and just teased up a corner then peeled the rest. I shat myself that I might scratch the thing though.
The screen itself is scratch resistant under normal use (don't think it won't scratch in wood chipper or anything). The original protector is there to stop what happens to iPhone 4s happening I guess, which is nasty cracks if it comes with 10cm of a hard surface. You can put your own 3rd part scratch resistant screen protector over the SE one and not notice too much ill effects. The SE one is very thin and perfectly applied, I'd say only take it off if it has a few scratches on it.

lol well ive never droppedmyphone out of case but have done alotin the case,
its padded though so protects well
what i'll do is just leave it on though and if fluff gets into it on the
edges and it startes looking horrible after a few months I might have another go at it
is the screen nicer without it on? people are saying that it's more responsive on Android site
is that alot of Bull?
the screen seems alright to me very quick

I took my "shatter proof sheet" off and I think it's almost too sensative now. If you take it off, i'd definately recommend replacing it with a good screen protector.
Anyone got a recommendation for a really smooth screen protector? Anything oleophobic available?
Posted by Ricky D
@Miss UK The screen is slightly smoother and slighty more responsive without the shatterproof protector, but I never had a problem with responsiveness when I had it on. I stick to what I said before about leaving it on till you get a few scratches then decide on replacing or just going naked.
@HYPER-X10 I used a Martin Fields for a while and I don't recommend it. It had a weird purpleish tinge to it and I didn't like the proximity sensor cut-out. I'm naked now

Was bored so did a few screenshots of my x10i running
FreeX10-beta3 - custom rom with
X.FX10.v1.3-2.2.1.Froyo-FreeX10-Beta3 - Theme and
ADW-Launcer EX
Homescreen - if you noticed the statusbar bug in this screen it's a screenshot thing, not present when using phone.
Drawer - using groups therefore almost no icons visible
Lock Screen (Froyo 2.2 FreeX10)

SKIBBE Took the plunge today and installed the FreeX10 2.2 Beta 3 ROM.So far very happy with it.No issues/FC from my side at present.Had it running since this morning and setting it all up nicely again.Love that there is no more SE Blue background.Its a nice change.Timescape/Mediascape....gone....Woohoo!
Not worried about not having Camcorder functions or limited camera functions.Bought myself a nice little Nikon which can take over that job.
Ran a benchmark and My Device topped the list with a score of 1351
Posted by SKIBBE
@Hobbs Same here, no really need for camcorder.
But i noticed one thing, the SoundRecord does not work
(can't find SDcard it keeps telling me) but i found a few recordings on the SDcard but they where 0Kb big
but i beat your score, atleast yesterday when i ran it, i got 1468

Nice work chaps..... How are you find it now DT / 2.2?
Posted by Bonovox
I am normally careful but when I had my older black x10 I never knew the shatter proof protector was there. I scratched the screen taking it from my pocket on the second day. I was really pissed till I found out that screen protector is not very scratch proof. So I removed it and its better imo.

@Andy
I do Miss SEs Phonebook, it has quick letters on the right side, makes it easier to navigate
even the caller ID is bigger/more fancy
The Flash support is a nice addon (thou i have just tried it)
and as mention before i can't record sound
the overall is only positive, and i guess there will be more updates

I 100% agree with that, I wonder if you can back port the APK's Ill test it over the weekend.

Hey myphone did that mystery thing again
With battery 90% this time.
I had the other half figure it out and im now
Not worried.
A quick look on google and ive found the answer to ur problem here.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-877255.html
Your phone isnt faulty. What happens is, it charges to 100% then cuts off, as over charging is bad for battery. Then when it drops below 90% it starts charging again. So it depends when u take it off charge, but it should be between 90-100%
Posted by SKIBBE
@Miss UK
i think it's even down to 85% before it starts chargin again. but yeah that is how the x10 work, if you wounder hy it's not 100% when you charge everytime, for example over night.

sadly i haven't gotten any updates since the major 2.1 update. i had a notification to "update" last week but when i said "ok" it popped up "you already have the latest firmware" strange.
Guess it's not a big issue, but seeing the slight improvements would be nice.

@ X10's users : did you find the sound of the earpiece loud enough during calls ?
I had one at its launch and i remember i was nearly a nightmare for this point !
Sorry for my english.

I have only two disappointments with my X10.
1) The ridiculously quiet earpiece and
2) The lack of a proper flash for the camera.

Earpice has improved after 2.1 update. I hardly complain about it but I have couple of disappointments:
1) Ridiculously slow Camera interface
2) Ridiculously slow Mediascape interface
3) Ridiculously unsensitive corners of the screen (I hardly press "L" or "A")
Apart from those I love it
Posted by Flori
Solution to your problems:
1) Try the modded camera apk from xda, improves the cam and the interface
2) Install JIT V2, helps for 1) also
3) My screen is reacting good.
I love my X10i (Eminence V1.2 ROM, JIT V2, Dualtouch, xRecovery...)
