Wow! Just got my X10 back from repair after 3weeks without it, and the ol' girl looks as good as new, new motherboard and new screen, with unbranded FW, feels so good to use it again after having to my old 5800 as my main phone, anyway i must just get some 2.3.3 Gingie in her and begin setting up.

Anyone experiencing this: I have the phone in my pocket. Locked. Bluetooth in mye ear. Somebody calls, we talk, and afterwards the phone isn't locked anymore causing a variety of actions from the movements over the touchscreen.
In other words - the phone unlocks caused by an incoming call.
Is is a bug or a wrong setting?
Thanks Erik

Well, after a few hours of running the 2.3.3 update on my X10 i can say SE did a fine job, and as Mode said to me a few days ago, its like having a new phone im absolutely loving my X10 right now, UI is so smooth and fast and new music player is great.

timescape, the music app and the infintie button is ridiculous....is it possible to get the mediascape app or the old timescape app.

There's no Mediascape in the 2.3.3 update for X10.

Android 2.3.3 updated on my X10 and it's beautiful.
Good things:
- Typing is quick like really fast which is a great thing for me.
- APP 2 SD
- Flash player (bonus cause I didn't ask for it but thank you, it will come in use for me)
- Brilliant UI (Looks more polished than 2.1)
- Wifi Tether (works GREAT, now I can easily use 3G on my iPad wifi. I had troubles with Barnicle before so this is good)
- App launcher
Overall it's a great update
Bad things:
- Music player does not work at all lol. I don't know why but it force closes for me everytime I open. Even if I open Real Media Player, still it force closes. Also when I open settings for ringtones, again force close. I am sure there something wrong with my phone and I'm hoping to get that fixed somehow here on esato or next update.
All in all, I'm loving Android all over again
Just make it fast and reliable. Cause anytime, anything can force close or phone can reboot which is not a good sign!
P.S - the process android.process.media has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. I get this error while opening music player, real media player, zedge ringtones, audio settings. This is a nightmare!

I suggest You to make repair through SE PC Companion. This force close is something that should never happen.

I know, I was thinking the same.
Does repair mean like updating all over again. I know I have tp click on repair on PC Companion but is it like updating all over?
What a Mess!
Posted by Rookwise
Yes its basically updating the phone again.

Same Here, Thoroughly enjoying the official Gingerbread update in India on my phone.
Wifi tethering is Absolutely Awesome.
UI is very polished. The new timescape widget is pretty fluent.
However i wanted to ask a few things:
1) How to turn on and off the "Facebook-inside-Xperia" feature? Cant find any such option
2) In Contacts > Settings > Why is my "Show Status Updates" permanently Greyed out? How to select that option?
Thanks for any help.
Posted by Tsepz_GP
To turn the FB Intergration On/Off go to Settings -Accounts&sync -Click on the Sony Ericsson Facebook Intergration (its the icon with the FB logo in the Phone) it should turn grey meaning its off.
Posted by Indiandawg
I'm loving the new timescape widget. It's just right on. Even the new gmail is very nice. I can now copy from emails which was missing before. Still need to get time out for the repair but I'm sure it will be resolved.
Any good apps that supports only 2.3.3? Besides flash of course
Great job SE. Love you for this!

@Indiandawg
Once you get your music player problem sorted out and if you're into music, get Equalizer, a free app that allows custom eq on the stock player. I now have the actual audio awesomeness of the music player and can fully utilize the facebook like feature at my disposal. I was sceptical at first about it as I thought I'd mainly be using Poweramp, well not anymore! I've since ditched Poweramp
It's only compatible with 2.3 and above (yes, that's us )
Posted by OffLineR
Has anyone tried using Viber?
It has causing phone app to crush. I have uninstalled it and problem solved.
Posted by Oogamous
@Tsepz: Thanks for pointing that out...
But i still want to ask .. when i go into contacts > menu button > settings > The "show status updates" option is permanently greyed out...
How do i select it to turn it on?
In 2.1 android the Facebook status updates could be seen directly from under the contacts name...
And Has Sony ericsson removed the "last calls/missed calls" widget?... that was pretty useful...
Other than that 2.3 is extremely fast. No noticeable lag..

Thats odd, my "Show Status Updates" isnt greyed out, i was able to select to show All.
Maybe what it wants you to do is 1st sync your FB and Twitter contacts, then it wont be greyed out?
Yep, they removed that widget, they also removed the Web browser widget that had History and last visited, wonder why they removed those? They were very useful.
Posted by Hobbs
I cant get Gingerbread to work on my phone without random reboots if I have my sim in.Cant for the life of me figure out why it is doing this.If I take the sim out it works fine.Anyone have any ideas.Should I take it in and see if they can figure out the problem because I am stumped.
Posted by Bonovox
Have you tried a hard reset without the sim card in after the update??
Posted by Hobbs
Bonovox.Yep
Posted by Tsepz_GP
Yep, i think taking it in would be your best bet Hobbs, maybe the sim port is faulty, mine hasnt rebooted once on 2.3.

Hell yeah they were super useful, what were they thinking? Or perhaps it's a gingerbread thing? I especially miss the calls list, such instant access should be on every phone IMHO

Agreed. That's why I'm still using it, missed calls widget is just a simple app (however I wasn't able to find something similiar in Android Market), which can be pulled from 2.1 ROM. Here it is http://www.mediafire.com/?h7kjfh2t00rh3ns .
As for the Web browser widget, I don't know which one is it, as I never used it, but there is a chance You can also pull it from 2.1 ROM.
Posted by Hobbs
9hrs without a reboot.Powered on phone without sim,formatted my SD card,unchecked Automatic in Date and Time settings,switched off phone,inserted sim,powered on phone and for the strangest reason the reboots have disappeared.Very strange solution.
Posted by Tsepz_GP
Thanks admad! Will give it a go!
Thats great news Hobbs! Hope it stays like that, ive found 2.3 to be VERY stable, havent done a reboot since the day i updated, hope its the same for you now.

Thanks mate for the recent calls app. Much appreciated
@Hoobs

Thanks a gazillion for the recent calls widget, my X10 is instantly more functional than ever as a phone now thanks to you
To those who miss Panorama Beta like I did, here's a modified .apk made to run on X10 with stock 2.3.3 http://forum.xda-developers.c[....]tachmentid=633467&d=1308766475 credit to jimbo77, I'm so happy today

I have 4 folders set up in the bottom bar, "Talk", "Write", "Media" and "Tools" and each folder has multiple apps in it. I have the apps arranged in the order I like them, but from time to time they randomly rearrange themselves. Does anyone know why this happens and how to prevent it?
Posted by Tsepz_GP
I also have 4 folders set up to, mine are Social, Web, Media and Tools respectively, my apps in the folders dont rearrange themselves though, maybe your X10 is unlocking itself while in your pocket?

Problem
I was giving a mate some banter for not upgrading his phone to 2.3 and so today he decided to do so. I told him that he would need to downloaded and use mybackup as the 2.1 back up app was not present after upgrade.
So he downloaded and installed mybackup and ran a backup, after which he was unable to click on settings as that was partially greyed out and said the application had failed.
So he rebooted the phone and the Settings Icon was not present upon power-up and if selected through the short cut, it said the application was not installed. Worse, all his contacts had gone and despite numerous attempts to instal from the memory card, they could not be returned.
Tonight, he has tried to update the phone through PC Companion and now he has on screen a ' ! ' inside a triangle when he switches the phone on.
Ideas please...... and quickly ? ? ? ? ? ? HELP !!!!!!
Posted by Rookwise
2 things.
1 The original 2.1 backup application does work. Just reinstall it after updating to 2.3. The link can be found a few pages back.
2 That triangle with the exclamination mark in means hes really messed up his phone. Only thing to try is the Repair option in the Sony Ericsson pc companion application. If that doesnt work then i'm afraid its off to SE for repairs.

Has anyone had any luck installing Itv player on there X10? Android market on the mobile won'tlist it but desktop android. Says it'snot compatible for it dont get it I've got Android 2.33
Posted by Indiandawg
okay so I repaired my X10 and everything seems to be working perfect. Loved the new music player but disappointed that it does not have a repeat option.
I want to know any special apps for 2.3.3 and how to do speech to text sms/e-mail etc. my keyboard does not get the option (microphone icon).
I think I'm going to stay with X10 for a long time. This phone may had a hard start but the journey has truly been exciting and great. Using 1.6 to 2.3 has truly made a different experience of using a phone

I also wondered if my phone is unlocking in my pocket. I've had previous experience of not ensuring the screen is blank before pocketing it and then later discovering it playing a movie in my pocket, so perhaps this is happening, but I am being very careful to avoid this.

[yes I have bbc player too wish that it could be watched vir Network tho or it could be downloaded to the x10 like how my old nokia 5800 that would top it off, been away on holiday and love to catch up with corry lol, so whats got your top spot now then? Im waiting for the so called Xperia Duo Don't think the Arc is worth the 18month upgrade Now the X10 has Android 2.33
Posted by Big_D
Ok I haven't been able to fix my phone, even though I got the replacement part. My usb pin connector was damage and so cannot connect via usb for charging or even do the update.
I got what I need, but I can't find someone who can do it. 2 biggest repair shop in my city, Wichita, KS, said it's very complicated work and require special soldering tool. They both don't want to take on the work. My only option now is to send it out for repair, and I don't know how much Sony Ericsson will charge.
Some of you with the same problem, did you send it in for repair as well?
Also on the new Gingerbread Update, on my Xperia Neo, the music app, although it have equalizer now, which is a big +, but they removed the SHUF, REPEAT, REPEAT1, etc. Did the same happen with Xperia x10?
Why did they removed it. I like to use that option, plus while they are at it, should've just add a lock screen widget/player.
Posted by mediar
Because their new music player is just the original Android one, but with a more pleasent skin. And since the original Android player doesn't have these options, Neo's/Arc's/Ray's/... player don't have that option either. It's not Mediascape anymore...
Posted by caff111
so using SE backup and restore would backup everything ? What about market apps?? I am yet to upgrade to 2.3 on my X10 but I download the SE backup and restore app from XDA and can install it on 2.3.......wondering is this app goodd enough to backup everything after upgrade to 2.3? Cheers

Same ol' SE, it's always either one or the other, never both at the same time-no eq on the previous, no extras on the current. *sigh*
@Big D
Hate to be the bearer of bad news but SE policy is replace the whole motherboard not just the USB bit so the cost won't be cheap
@MrJulius
No changes on the camera which I'm glad for really because the original deal was X10 was to get gingerbread but at the expense of the camera which would've be stock android but they somehow managed to implement the original camera software

My x10 unlocks, when it receives a call.
During the call I can turn off the screen, but it is not locked!
Happened to me several times, that the dear little creature
opened different apps or changed settings in my pocket!

Erik, are you saying that somehow you pocekted the phone whilst still on a call with the screen off?
Posted by erikleth
My x10 unlocks during a call. Whether or not it is in my pocket.
When i have it in my hand, I may try to lock it - the screen turns off, but it is not locked, though it gets black.
When I press the on/off button the screen is active again, without needing to swipe to open.
