I have a Nordic FW and still no update
Posted by Indiandawg
I have a very bad problem on my X10. When I open application z4root there are two options, temporary root and permannt root. I click on any of the options nothing really happens. The application closes down and back to normal.
When I connect USB to PC, the PC does not detect.
Edit: nor the phone says that it's connected to USB.
Any idea?

@Indiandawg z4root doesn't work for any of the 2.1 FW bar the first release. Use this instead. Dead simple, run the tool, click root, connect the phone as it says and wait till it says it's finished. Use that tool to flash original firmwares from any region (they have the global generic dual-touch FW on that first post), install busybox and xrecovery. It can also install JiT and remove crap preinstalled apps.

To anyone with the 2.1.A.0.435 FW, Is the camera any faster?
Doesn't appear to be. Seems to be the same speed. Would have been nice if they'd changed the menu to allow the light to be actived from the camera screen instead of having to go into the settings menu to turn it on!

Thanks Ricky. I did root but I dont know if its rooted. Though my phone was rooted before I guess cause I could do run apps that work under rooted X10. The question is, how do I unroot now lol. I know I've been very confusing but as I said before I want my phone to wipe out everything and become a normal phone where I can send to Sony Ericsson under warranty. I don't want them to tell me that I have VOID my warranty.
Thank you. I really appreciate your help

Can someone tell me what the 4th switch is on the Power Control widget is? It looks like a refresh symbol. Is it something to do with Auto Syncing?

Yep,its sync.

Indiandawg, SEUS will wipe the phone and remove root if you ask it to do a reflash. Just remember to backup your stuff before you wipe.

The new DT update had a bug in the calender application. When selecting a day, the program crashes. The workaround is to press the day button until it opens, rather than just clicking it. Guess we'll get a bug fix for it sometime!

The new firmware has other bugs too. I'm getting a force close much more often from the market app. I'm getting freezes from which the only recovery is to take the battery out and the wifi takes appox twice as long to connect to a saved network.
...but camera is marginally faster, maybe 10% faster.

So far so good...no force close from market and my wifi is fine.
And I've discovered if you reboo the phone several times the calender repairs itself!

I have done backup on my phone but sadly SEUS is giving me error saying there is an update error. I got to try to again. I had switched of USB debugging too.

Weird, havent faced any issues in Calendar or Market, havent seen any force closes since updating, it may be better to format your phones after updating, that may help.
Posted by Ricky D
@Indiandawg at what stage are you getting the update error? Have you tried doing a factory reset before connecting to SEUS?
My market issues may be linked to Market Enabler which I've been using. It allows access to android markets from other areas of the world i.e. to paid apps in countries that don't have access.
I had two random restarts in the first hour of using the new FW too. Maybe I'm working it too hard when it's trying to cache up the new stuff, but it shouldn't really do that.
I'm kind of crossing my fingers that the Brazilian source who said X10 will get 2.3 in late 2011 is right. The other half of me doesn't really care because it wantsto be buy arc next month.

Didn't realise they've changed the calendar layout until this morning. Seems a bit strange making it smaller with all that space at the bottom.
Posted by Ravager
I like the new calendar look, much more refined
I'm getting a quadrant score of 480, without JiT, havn't been able to root the phone. Tried the latest from xda.
neocore: 20.6 fps

Don't really use the calendar from my phone so I don't know what's new but here goes.

No didn't do factory reset. Will try once I reach home.
Even I am tempted for Arc but I was really looking forward to front facing camera! let's see what SE has got at MWC

My update hasn't gone too well. My phone was 100% charged when I went to sleep, then 6 hours later when the alarm went off it's at 29%.
It looks like it won't even last an afternoon, I'll have to bring three fully charged batteries with me at this rate.

@goldenface
Usually when this happens, an application is sucking all the power.
It happened to me 2/3 times, open ANDROZIP or an equivalent app, check the app consuming power and kill it.
Posted by goldenface
Thanks sambouka.
Just downloaded it. Is it the Pro Version that allows me to find which one is the most power hungry?
Posted by Ricky D
@goldenface it might just be the first short while of the phone coming up to where it wants to be in terms of caching the OS, thumbnailing pics in the gallery app(s), cataloguing mp3s, syncing up contacts, that kind of stuff as well as the stuff you don't see, just speculating.

@goldenface
No not the pro one

Mediascape now does landscape in Music, i dont think it could do that before, or am i wrong?
Posted by moogoo
looks like a new feature.
just hate that you can't easily create playlists in mediascape, otherwise i'd use it more.

That is new Tsepz.Cool

Not sure if it's crappy media scape or what but my album art keeps getting all mixed up. If I put music onto the memory card all the wrong album art appears on the wrong albums & some of it keeps vanishing
I had this when I had my first x10 Black. I am sure it's crappy Media Scrape sorry scape

I'm liking simple and fast over complex and eye candy.
The FreeX10 ROM Music player has very simple menus of songs,albums and artist but what I like is the Now Playing screen.With the XFX10 theme installed it makes it transparent so your homescreen shows through in the background.
Bono I think you had this Live Wallpaper once on one of your phones.

Yes I did have that one but it tends to make my x10 lag
x10 with some quite heavy live wallpapers slows it down a little. And sometimes when something like the signal meter fluctuates the live wallpaper jerks. Total crap the software in x10 is still rather slow at times
Posted by Hobbs
I can never go back to SE's software now I'm afraid.It looks like I'm stuck on FreeX10 2.2 Beta 3 without camcorder for the time been.Theres a Beta 4 available but this phone is now running so smoothly I'm to scared to update it.Going to wait for the final release and then do it.When you visit XDA and read some of the replies left by some of those idiots about this happening and that happening,take it with a pinch of salt.Obviously everyone uses their phones differently and therefore encounter different issues but so far for me its been very stable.Sometime people do things wrong and then are left with a big fat mess.Im not a gamer,I keep things simple when it comes to installing apps and widgets and this thing flies and takes everything I throw at it.Its the speed performance that is the deciding factor for me.There is nothing worse than having a day when your mind is working at a million miles an hour and when you use your phone its not syncing with how fast you want things done.I remember Mediascape.Side swipe..slight pause...transition happens.Used to bug the crap out of me.Glad to be done with that. (is jthere an improvement with that with the new software) Camera..activate..slight pause on black screen...ready to shoot Uuuurgh! On this ROM click the camera hardware key and almost instantaneously its ready for you to shoot.Camcorder will eventually come.

Never-the-less,the X10 is a fantastic phone whatever state it is in. (except Donut 1.6
) I was pretty happy with it on 2.1 Eclair Update 1 even with those few niggles.Still would have kept it till June 2012.

After the update my calendar keep on chrashing. Do I have to re-flash it again? A simple off and on doesn't help.

I had the same issue for a long time but then found out if you use Sonyericsson Media Go to sync your music onto X10 the album art is there to stay.

If you did not do a clean install, I'll recommend you do a factory reset or a reinstall with no data preservation.

I'm using the stock android music player and stock android gallery. Both are easier to use and faster (lightening quick) than mediascape. They're already in the phone but SE have hidden their shortcuts from the menu. To gain access to the music player use Music Mod app by Brian Stocker on the market. There's a similar one for Gallery3d too but forgot what it's called.
Posted by moogoo
RickyD i think you mean the gallery shortcut. it's simply called "gallery".
i'd be interested to try the stock music player...
come on update!! HURRY UP ALREADY... before i just do the flash myself
Posted by Ricky D
moogoo, I think you're right, there are a couple ways to get the stock gallery and music player to work I know xda have their own versions of these shortcuts and there's one or two on the market. The Music Mod by Eliot Stocker (not Brian as i said before, don't know why I typed Brian) should be available for you try before you get the update though. I like this mod in particular as it also gives you the options of various widgets which aren't present in the stock app. All in all it's pretty good.
