even the speed of UI is better in X10? wow that's a surprise to me but always wanted to understand better why apple users liked X10.
Enjoy your X10 and with 2.3 update am sure there is a lot more to it now

Thanks for your reply!



Yeah, I was surprised too but I did find the UI on the X10 to be snappier in most cases. A couple more things I've noticed:

- X10's transflective display is *much* better in direct sunlight than the retina display.
- Android has better integration with Google Talk as expected.


Only thing I don't like about software is Gmail application. It has a lot of limit and you cannot copy the text from the application which really sucks.
Hopefully that should happen on 2.3 update.

@Harribolman The X10 doesn't have standalone apps for music/photos/videos so you won't find shorcuts to add in directly. On the ARC the apps for music/video/photos are standalone so it works for them. If you want standalone apps there are ways to get the stock android music/photo/video apps on the X10. In my opinion, the stock apps are faster and prettier too.


Thanks guys, I appreciate the replies and help.

I'm new to modding the phone this much, so the help is great! I noticed that when I first installed the Arc Launcher that pressing the Home button would give me an option as to which Launcher to choose, the X10 or the Arc. After a day I then choose the Arc as default, with the knowledge that I can change it back in Applications/Manage Applications, however I need guidance as to where to go from there, because I don't see the program to manage it!

I am currently using Home Switcher to go back to the X10 launcher, but I'd still like to know how I can remove the default setting that operates directly from the Home Button. Thanks again.

Thanks...that's the one I accidently deleted from the Arc Launcher...cool!!

Hi ppl,

I am intending to buy this phone from plemix.com US. But i saw that their package content does not list the 8GB memory card and the pouch. Has anybody who have bought the X10 from plemix lately or before can confirm about the pouch and the memory card?

Thanks

Good point, I noticed that myself. I think Android 2.3 should fix that. BTW, another thing I noticed today about the X10 is that it doesn't drop calls like my iPhone 4 did. There are two or three places between my home and work where the iPhone would consistently drop. Looks like the X10 isn't having that problem.

Just wondering blasjw, what's your microSD capacity and class? I'm wondering because I suspect X10 operation smoothness highly depends on this as its internal capacity is very limited. So far the highest class for 32gb is 4 which might explain why I don't share your experience with the device in tems of smoothness. FYI I've already JIT my X10 and installed AutoKiller to optimise performance but that hasn't helped much. Don't get me wrong, the device is relatively smooth, but not buttery smooth like iPhone 4 as you described

Actually, I'm just using the stock 2G microSD that came with it. I didn't say it was smooth, I said it was snappier. That just means it's seems quicker. That's just my opinion.

I highly recommend you throw in a Froyo custom ROM to your X10 until SE release Gingerbread.

Posted by Bonovox
So will Gingerbread remove all these crappy apps that slow the x10 down??

Posted by Tsepz_GP
Yep Bono, Mediascape along with its Face Recognition service (the main culprits) will be removed ,Moxier is also going, so the X10 will not only be much faster but also smoother.

Your x10 only came with a 2GB card?

Plemix doesnt list the memory card and pouch for an unlocked X10. Can anybody confirm on this?

Does this apply for X10?

Any idea between which months the 2.3 update would roll out for X10?

Posted by mediar
So X10 is going to get 2.3? Officially?

Posted by roanmy
^Yes, but not until June/July, and only if you have a unlocked and unbranded one. =))

Posted by Indiandawg
I can wait till July. I thought it must be coming around Sept/Oct

Okay so far, what I'm reading about the new Gingerbread update ain't bad at all, sure they be some things removed, but more are being added. but let's say if when I updated to the Gingerbread, but don't like it as much as I thought, will I be able to downgrade back to 2.1? I know Xperia x10 wasn't able to do that, but with these custom roms and having cracked the x10 Bootloader, will that change? Would I possibly be able to downgrade my android version at will?

btw, even though Mediascape slows down the phone, I thought it was a great feature that makes SE Xperia x10 stands out among the other android phones. Able to search music, photos and videos all in one app, as well as able to search via web for other works by the same artists, like on youtube. Would that be removed along with Mediascape, or is there a certain alternative with Gingerbread and the Arc and Neo?


Also, I'm looking for an apps that I can use for my hotmail and gmail account. I hate the pre-installed email app that doesn't able you to delete mail from the account, only on the one sent to your phone, then when you get online, there it is again, mail you already read and deleted from your phone. If there is a good app for that, that enable full access and sync, notify me. I recently got my ipod to be able to do that with it's pre-installed email app. Maybe I'm missing something from the email app on android?

@Big_D

You can downgrade if you have your phone rooted and you have one of the dycrypted ROMs downloaded from xda (anywhere else that has some). Then all you need to do is flash the original SE ROM in using flash tool.

The only thing is, we don't know if the SE gingerbread update will be rootable because it's not here yet. I'm sure it won't take long for someone to root it though. There's a lot of very skilled people out there doing these things for fun.


The email thing is down to using IMAP or POP3 I think (I may be wrong). POP3 will download a copy and store it on your handset, leaving the mail-server untouched. With IMAP servers the mail is stored on the server, only headers are stored locally and the body is downloaded on demand (unless you specifically save it locally). Both have pros and cons, but for what you describe it sounds like you're on POP3 instead of IMAP. Dunno if the in-built client handles IMAP (I use Gmail app as I only use gmail) but it should.

Google supports both. When I last used hotmail it supported neither (it as a long long time ago). Things have probably changed.

I am pretty happy with current Android OS : is the gingerbread the current update alert from SE or a forthcoming one?

I'll hold off until I hear good things after a couple of weeks of people playing about with Ginger'

Incidentally: Does SE or another supplier have a better quality stereo head set with controller?


Also, is there a blue tooth dialer available on the market? ie key pad.

Hey guys!!

Am looking at getting an X10 from plemix.com. In the plemix's website, it mentions that the X10 has a 4" crystal clear OLED touchscreen. I thought X10 has a TFT touchscreen. Even another vendor called gsmnation also lists it as 4" crystal clear OLED touchscreen. Has SE changed the hardware? or just these vendors want to quickly sell these X10s by saying that the X10 has a OLED touchscreen?

Posted by SKIBBE
No oled as far as i know.


Posted by moogoo
^screen is definitely not OLED.

in other news, I am gonna try replacing my touch digitizer tonight. Several things are going through my mind...

1) i'm gonna screw something up and brick my phone
2) the new digitizer won't work after i replace it
3) the new digitizer will suck worse than my original, but cracked, digitizer...

So, wish me luck. I'll probably start it in a few hours so if anybody wants to give me some words of advice, please do!



Posted by Ricky D
@moogoo

Didn't you crack your digitizer months ago?? You still haven't replaced it?

My advice is only general 'good practise' advice but:


Posted by moogoo
@ricky

yea i cracked it at least 6 months ago, if not longer. I just never got around to replacing it and tonight is no different! got distracted with other things and still haven't done it yet.

Thanks for the advice and that disassembly guide was the one i was planning to follow. It does not show how to replace the digitizer, though it links to another guide that I am taking into consideration. I'll likely use the blowdryer method to loosen the adhesive and hopefully not damage anything when prying it loose. I was also not sure how to attach the new digitizer since the one i ordered did not come with any adhesive. good ole Rookwise suggested i use very thin and clear double sided tape and i went out and got some today.

I will do this soon! I'm getting tired of seeing the crack and not having a screen protector on it (i don't see the point with a big crack in it) makes smudges and fingerprints an eyesore.

I'll probably get to it this week since i've got the tape now.

Posted by Ricky D
@moogoo

The double sided craft tape is a must. I got some a few years back for my T650 from Hobbycraft (dunno if you have them in the US).

Thankfully not needed any on my X10, although I'm considering taking it apart for a housing change to aid the flaking silver paint down the sides.

Posted by moogoo
still gonna be carrying around your x10 even though you've got a shiny new arc to play with?

Posted by Ricky D
My arc still hasn't arrived yet, it's awaiting customs clearance which should be today for tomorrow delivery, so yes, I'm still carrying my X10. When arc comes though, I'll either put the white X10 up on eBay or pass it to my sister. It seems not many people here on esato want it.

@ Ricky_D I just bought mine X10i, new, €250 ,not knowing you were selling yours...

Never mind, I am very happy with the phone so far and looking out for the Android 2.3.
I was considering getting Neo, but due to the JPN earthquake it will come to my country only in july... so I just went for X10.

Im looking for an application which reminds me of calendar events, tells me tomorrow's weather update etc like a personal assistant. Worldmate application has a very good personal assistant and its a good example. But if you guys know any better than let me know.

Thanks

Posted by moogoo
@indiandawg the regular calendar app does all that. you simply have to set it up the reminders when you create events. As for the weather, if you add the weather calendar to your google calendar, it will also show the weather forecast for each day.

calendar reminders only reminds you when there is a specific time to it. if there a note in calendar with a date then it does not remind you.
besides adding weather calendar is good but if you have more notes or reminders in a day then it does not show you(widget)

like i said, i want an app like personal assistant reminding me through voice. when i wake up at 6am, it should show and read weather forecast, news, events and birthdays and stuff. i know am asking way too much, but i just want to know if anything like this is there or not.

worldmate application is pretty close to that, just it needs to add more features but it won't cause it's a travel application.

thanks

When is the 2.3 update coming?? Look at this photo. Now,along side the new Xperia line p the X10 still stands out as the nicest looking

End of Q2.

Posted by rikken
Agree with Bono, the x10 is still the nicest looking droid from SE

Posted by Bonovox
Especially in white. I think after Gingerbread it maybe very fast too

Posted by rikken
I believe so too. The x10 might finally become the phone it should have been in the first place

Posted by Bonovox
Are they planning on removing Mediascape in the update I wonder?

Posted by rikken
My guess is yes. MS was too laggy and slow There is a reason for why SE removed it in the new xperia line.

Posted by Bonovox
Indeed I hated it. It was so bloody poor too in terms of my album art would either vanish or every album would have the same cover or album art would appear in gallery. Complete mess.

Posted by tranced
Mediascape is being replaced by the media experience widgets and music player included in our new 2011 products.
