it all comes down what you are comparing the x10i with, i dont think it's a big phone, feels just perfect.
you will get used to it. i even have it in a pouch in my pocket making it even bigger (when not used)
Posted by Hobbs
I dont think its feels that big either.Im thinking with all these 4.3inch screens coming out its now feels a bit on the small side.
Posted by Indiandawg
no matter how much we have complaint in the past about X10i, it has definitely been one of the best phones in the market. It's unique UI and Timescape, sleek design etc has made one of the best phones around.
Still waiting for OTA update

Totally agree. Apart from a very few. Most of what
have churned out over the last few years (Actually since the start of A200) I've hardly been excited about when I've bought them but the X10 and the Minis I've really liked and have kept.
Its by no means perfect but for me its very close to what I need.
Posted by Hobbs
I agree 100 %. I can go through 2011 while all these new monsters are coming out and not feel to envious. The X10 is the perfect phone for me at this present moment in time as well.

It is still a great device but I sometimes find it a little slow, especially when starting the camera. Hope they speed it up

I've decided to go for the white Play in April for my upgrade but I can't yet see myself giving up my white X10 even then.

Pretty darn fast if you ask me. http://blogs.sonyericsson.com[....]%E2%80%93-camera-improvements/

that's the Arc camera, not the X10. I think rikken was referring to the x10 camera, which at times can be dreadfully slow.

That's exactly on my mind. There are so many new devices and Arc and Play white looks so stunning but still I'm ready to wait for something even better. I don't want to give up X10 unless there is really something better. No doubt Arc and Play are stunning devices but I find X10 to be in a different league. Ofcourse Arc is in the same league but honestly, I find X10 looks even better than Arc. The white steals the show for me

Yes, to me the Arc looks clumsy and unfinished (as if they ran out of funds before completing the design) with it's off-centre screen, oversized screen border and uncomfortable curved back that serves no purpose other than to be different and hard to hold! The curved back will cease to be a novelty in a very short time.
By comparison the X10 looks like it was designed properly, so that it looks like a complete unit. Smooth, well proportioned and beautiful to hold. It looks stunning sitting on a table even when it's turned off! Rock on!

I'd just follow this JIT installation guide on my Xperia x10, I finally got to root my phone again after a few updates ago, several months back. Now I want to know how can I install apps to SD rather than to Phone Memory. please help.
FYI, following the guide, I don't know if I did indeed install a custom rom or just an upgrade.
Btw, the New Xperia phones coming soon, Play, Neo and Arc. I heard that Play will be available on the Verizon network in USA. Is there a SIM-capable available? how about the Neo and Arc?

downloaded the settings again, rebooted your phone? are you using the default messaging app or like Handcent? (if handcent try the default app or vice versa)
just a few thoughts.

I think it's as it's said. I notice it to be faster than before, opening apps, etc. it's half the time it takes before. so saying a 60% performance boost is true enough. I took that chance to root my phone as well, so it's two bird with one stone.
I'm still looking on how to install apps to SD card, so if anyone knows how with the current firmware that's been rooted via the mentioned guide, please do tell.
Also I heard that there are custom firmware, 2.2 or 2.3 being developed, but mainly beta version with some problems. When there are stable version that without the negatives, please do tell.
UPDATE: I look up the Xperia Play, so there are two version? one with SIM-capable, or GSM, and a CDMA? It's a cool phone, but I wonder if I'll be using it much, especially with the battery life. The Neo might be better
I think the Arc is only a little upgrade from x10, while Neo and Play is the next level. PLAY for gaming, Neo for entertainment. btw, which one have the HDMI output?
btw, it's been a while, how do I uninstall apps like moxier now that my phone is rooted? I forgot how...

search XDA forum Under Xperia 10 "Android Development" there is a thread there explaining pros/con working/not working

Need help, getting annoyed here pretty much... I left my phone unlocked, and somehow, the keyboard has changed to chinese. I want to go back to andorid default one, but I searched and searched, and nothing... I remember there was an option in odler firmware to choose the default keyboard, but now it's gone
It looks like that:
Any advice?
Posted by Lightspeed_x
Hi admad, did you try a long press in the messaging application (in the textbox)?....
It should bring a menu with an option called "Input Method", select it, and you will see all the keyboards intalled, proceed then to select the Android Default...
Hope it helps...
Posted by Ricky D
@admad as Lightspeed says long touch on any text box then touch 'Input method' and just so you know, that's not Chinese.
Posted by Hobbs
Admad What font are you using on your phone?
Posted by admad
@Lightspeed_x, thanks man, it worked
@Ricky_D According to my phone the keyboard was Chinese, had to check from Chinese to default input method
@Hobbs The font is DroidSans.

As mentioned before, I did a root and JIT installation via guide provided by Xperia x10 Blog.
Not my phone seems to reboot itself often. how do I stop it? I don't care about JIT, but i would like to keep my phone rooted.

Reflash/install your phone it should not reboot random just becaus of JIT, i used JIT before i installed a custom rom i had no problems with reboots.

How do I do that? Using Sony Ericsson PC Companion?
Posted by SKIBBE
BIG D, as far as i know connecting your phone to SEUS(i guess pc-companion too) will give you a message if you want to update, if not chose to repair, it will whipe everything and download the firmware again and installing it (the SD will remain untouched as usual) and you will have to re-root.

Is anybody experiencing call log issues on X10? sometimes recieved calls fails to get listed on call log. it happens to dailed and missed calls as well. Am running the latest firmware (multi touch)
Posted by dngeorgiev
Hi guys.
On Saturday my X10 should be delivered, so i wanted to ask a few questions, since i am new to android and this particular phone:
1. Is the screen really scratch resistant, does it need an extra protector?
2. Whish is the last official version of Android for this phone?
3. Could i somehow remove the SE addons of the phone (I want to make it have the stock android looks)?
4. Does it record HD video (720p)?
5. Do you find the incall volume quiet?
6. Is there a way to enable somehow the "Pinch zoom" option of the browser?
Thank you in advance.

Posted by slead
I would have picked another phone mate...
1. Its not scratch resistant (at least it does not seem to me), get a protector
2. Its a lousy 2.1
3. You have to root it and get rid of all the crApps
4. not sure
5. Yea the volume seems fine in 2.1
6. I read somewhere that SE whants to bring multitouch to it... but to be honest I doubt it.
Posted by Ricky D
@dngeorgiev not everything slead said is 100% accurate
1. The screen IS scratch resistant but comes with a pre-applied non scratch resistant 'shatter-protection' cover.
2. Android 2.1 is the latest official FW
3. With root access (very easy to do) you can remove most of the pre-installed apps and replace them with standard android versions e.g. music app and gallery app to replace mediascape.
4. The newest FW records in 720p. The screen resolution isn't high enough to play in 720p.
5. Some still complain of low in-call volume but very few.
6. Dual-touch 'pinch-to-zoom' is enabled in the browser and all supported apps in the latest FW. True multi-touch isn't going to be available as the hardware doesn't support it.

As Ricky answered all your questions, I wont go through it again but just wanted to say that its a brilliant phone. I dont have latest firmware yet and dont really care much. It works charm for me. You have to realize that no phone can run without lags, as of now. Also dont miss multitouch as I think its a big hype to me. What is really good about X10? Its keyboard, not many people love it but I do. Also the feel of using it everyday. It does everything besides flash but for that I use skyfire browser. For music I use real player. Calendar, alarm, barnicale Wifi and lots of other apps works great for me. I dont play games besides glow hockey. The best thing is Wifi and 3G signals works amazing for me and its very important. Hope you enjoy your X10
Enjoy
Edit: Few apps that I would like to share with you.
3G watchdog Pro - I use this to check how much 3G data I have used. Normally I use between 1.5GB - 2GB.
Aldiko Premium - Ebooks and magazines
Adobe Reader - PDF files
CNET News - just to see what's going on around and if anything new has come out.
Checkers Free - rarely I play, but I enjoy it.
Dictionary - very good application with nice UI.
Dolphin Browser - my default browser and I love it.
ESPN cricinfo - cricket updates and live scores
Engadget - you know it!
Facebook - !
Flight track - very good application. Must have if you travel even once in 3-4 months by air.
Fox News - I love reading news so I got many applications related to news
Gtunes - download music and make mp3 too. Brilliant app.
Glow hockey - Love this game lol.
IMDB - I check latest movies and trailers
Mashable - !
Millionaire - it's a fantasy game of real time stock exchange. it's a great app for me to try and see my investing skills without putting real money.
NDTV - news app
NY times - news app
Nimbuzz - my messenger and I think it's the best.
Photaf - I use this to click panorama pics
Photoshop Express - just to play around and edit pics
Pulse - news app but has amazing UI.
Real player - I think it's by far the best app for music, videos and photos.
ESPN score center - any game, you got live scores.
Skyfire - I honestly don't like this browser too much but it's there only because of flash support
Skype - !
Speedtest - good to test your 3G or Wifi speed.
TED mobile - !
Time mobile - news app
The weather channel - great app to check weather all around the world
Twitter - !
Virtual table tennis - I use to play this a lot but now I play glow hockey lol.
Vlingo - great app while driving.
Wapedia - wikipedia
Whatsapp - messenegr
Wifi file explorer - file explorer which works through wifi and it's nice!
tTorrent - nice but I need to find a better torrent app
Angry Birds - I forgot lol. nice game.
That's about it!

Actually, just in case some of you don't know, you can now use multi touch in every app that utilises it including the browser and third party apps such as angry birds.
See this thread

It was very easy to do this, just follow the instructions.

Enjoy your X10 dngoergiev
Posted by Ricky D
With stock FW, if you remove the right apps this phone will run 98% of the time without any UI lags.
It's a solid phone and as I've said before I believe it's the best of it's generation.
And the multi-touch is available with the newest FW without the xda hack.
Only thing the official FW misses in my opinion is two finger rotate in 3D mode in maps (two finger tilt works) and flash for the browser but that is debatable as it causes some performance degradation.

I wanted to ask you a quite subjective question...
These are the actual photos of the device i am getting:

http://www.picvalley.net/u/19[....]563782YO6RpcnGtBDr9P9bF21k.JPG
The phone is beimg sold as a new one, no warranty included and the set lacks the earphones. The prise is 225 EUR.
So do you think that is a good deal?
Thanks once again.
Posted by SKIBBE
from the pictures it looks to be in very good condition. what do you get more than the phone?
in store the x10 still cost around 400€ new?
(thinking of selling my x10 soon, but it has some marks on the housing :/ and i will not sell it with my Mw600 BT headset, unless i get something semiliar with the new arc.
Posted by dngeorgiev
I should get the box, charger, cable...
Posted by SKIBBE
Okey, seems like a good deal if it's new and much lower than the stores
Posted by fjcarlsson
Do you guys think that since the latest update hasn't been released in many regions an improved version of the firmware will be released with the launch of the Xperia Arc?
Posted by SKIBBE
@fjcarlsson seems lika a longshot. personaly i don't think they will do a new update and releasing it before everyone got the old one.

You should get a set of standard headphones and either a 2gb or 8gb Micro SD memory card in the box. Also depending on the region you might get some or all of the following items included in the box:-
CCR-80 Micro SD USB adaptor
Spare Screen Protector
Bluetooth Headset
Xperia Branded Pouch
EC500 Media Stand
In my Black X10 which was from O2 UK I got an Xperia Branded pouch,Spare screen protector and a CCR-80 but in my White Sim Free French X10 I just got the basics (Phone,battery,8gb SD memory card,wired headphones,EP700 USB cable,CST-80 usb mains charger and the paperwork)
It all depends on where you have the phone from.
