As there's no separate device page for our mini X10's, lets discuss it here instead.
Obviously X10i and E10i hardware is totally different and thus we can't use roms or anything from the "bigger" phone.
For now the Android 1.6 is almost usable on it, but I frankly hate the sony customizations and totally unusable text-entry and phone-dialer apps ..
A clean 1.6/2.1 ROM with HTC Sense would make me much happier.
But for now at least I'd like to solve the fonts problem, i.e. after getting phone rooted, installing custom fonts should be easy.
Anyone done that so far?
Please share your thoughts.

The method is probably similar , but we do need specific E10i rom files, so its not carbon-copy.

There is two ways of buying a phone
1. By the looks
2. By the insides
If you want both, the easiest is to take the looks and buy what you like to look at, and then make the insides as you want afterwards.
When android gives us the posiblity (after root access to bootloader level) to make an X10 look like an HTC on the inside, why would anyone ever buy an HTC phone?

i think rooting mini is little bit complicated because it needs removing battery

You can hard-reset the E10i (mini) by pressing power button while holding the "home" button (middle one)
So thats not a problem.

Yeah the iphone style reset works.
Keen to see the root for this phone it's quite impressive for something so small and cheap.
someone could try to root the phone with x10 method?

It's quite easy to replace the keyboard and phone dialer on the E10i without rooting the phone. I would love to root my E10i as well but I would also like to keep the text input. I find the T9 style text input to be perfect on this phone because of the small size. I downloaded a bigger keyboard from the market to try out but I quickly switched back. T9 was just much better suited for this phone. I also downloaded a new dialer but it wasn't built for the small screen so it didn't look good.
Btw, what's this font problem you speak of?
Root need for x10 mini
any idea when rooting for X10 mini? Did developers working on that... eagerly waiting to root this device.
Well that's the big question in'it, are any devs even workin on root for the E10i, eh?

True, you can replace keyboard, dialer and launcher.
I am using custom HTC-type keyboard (smart keyboard), and launcher (Zeam) that looks like a normal android, not "one widget per screen" type.
For emails I use K-9, and WiFi Manager to auto-setup wifi connections.
Fancy Widget for main screen weather and alarm access.
So far the problems I have encountered :
1. bluetooth connection to car radio is broken (calls can be made, but sound quality is terrible with noise) -- had same problem with HTC Hero on Android 1.5, solved by installing Android 2.1
2. WiFi won't stay up over 1 hour, after 60min it always disconnects, so SIP phone has problems getting calls in -- was also the same on HTC Hero, again, solved by 2.1 upgrade
3. I really miss the HTC Contact list and Dialer, built in one is useless, even the android standard one would be much better, but can't be installed
4. AirVoice can't be used without root (call recording app, very useful)
5. Overall response times could be better with optimized kernel, battery life is far from perfect
Good evening, this is my first post, so let me say this forum is a great source of knowledge and hope for every smartphone owner.
Anyway, i own a SE X10 Mini and i'd like to see a separate section for this phone (and for X10 mini pro) like there is a separate section for htc hd mini or htc wildfire (that seems to be desire mini). Is it possible? This way people will be able to post in the appropriate place. Thanks Mods.
Then, could any dev find a way to root our X10 mini and make us as happy as bigger X10 owners? Please help us.

NO
It'll come for unbranded streaks, I guess it's a combo of the o2 ones being out first and o2 paying dell to do it that gets it out first..
Hope o2 don't rest on their laurels and do push for a froyo update...
From what I've read Dell intend to go straight to 2.2 in the U.S., all I can say to our transatlantic cousins is be patient, anything worth having is worth waiting for
That said, all we have so far is an unconfirmed 'tweet' about O2 and 2.1, I guess Wednesday will tell..
Agreed, there'll be a 2.1/2.2 from Dell at some point or we will get the O2 one anyway
However I flashed the Modaco 2.1 last night and I've had NO ISSUES what so ever, everything works perfectly and my phone is like a brand new handset, completely different standard to the 1.6, there's no way I'm going back.
i just hope the dell pc suite works with the official 2.1, would like to be able to transfer my amazon unbox portable movies/shows to my streak.
I take it when they say for O2 users, they mean that the phones locked to O2 (so with the base number 21 is it?), so even though I'm on O2 but with the handset direct from Dell, I won't get the update even though it will be O2 pushing the update over the air to O2 Streak user?

Still waiting......
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Someone post when 2.1 official is pushed
Would be really great if when any of you get the official update you could let us know. (UK).
I have an unlocked streak direct from dell and have gone to:
'Settings, about device, system updates' a few times but alas nothing yet, it just says my device is up-to-date.
No update yet.
Came across this "informational" article which claims that Dell has confirmed it has nothing to do with the 2.1 update and this update is being pushed by O2 itself because it was getting impatient waiting for Dell to push the 2.2!

I just read that, more uninformed tripe, O2 are not in the business of writing software they can only be releasing an update from Dell. Maybe it's out of frustration with Dell, though anything I've read on the ill informed net says Dell are planning a 2.2 release ~soon~. The only point in the article I agree with is that O2 sales will likely improve if they can sell a product with 2.1 on it over 1.6.

a) SE never announced officially avaliability of 2.1 in the last week of October
b) last week of October starts in 5 days (Monday 25th).
c) Hold your horses. You´ll get nothing in October.
Anyone in here from UK, using Orange 3G Pay as you go SIM with Mini?
I dont see any updates here in India
There is no new update to eclair...
Don't forget that whilst SE "might" release an update soon, you will only get this if you have an unlocked, non carrier phone.
If your phone was supplied by a carrier and is branded then just as we have seen on other phones, you could be waiting months longer.
Just look at the Desire where 2.2 was rolled out by HTC months ago yet Three users in the UK are still waiting.
October on it's end.Still no sign from SE
be patient... on Twitter, SE UK says that there aren't further delays, the update will be at the end of October... that's this week! I think will be by friday... hopefully!
What major improvements do you expect from 2.1? The only thing why I am expecting it is because spp profile ability in bluetooth. And what do you expect from eclair?
I don't hope nothing special from SE, perhaps the facebook association to the contacts, improving a little bit the contact list and no more else. I think the most important comes from Android 2.1, like bluetooth as you said. Also some apps only are available from Android 2.x and towards. Some people says that it activates the multitouch function... and more stuff that i'm totally sure we'll discover
New firmware approved at ptcrb.com
Sw 2.0.A.0.453
Its coming!!
Sent from my rooted X10 mini pro, still with Android 1.6!!! using XDA App
I just noticed on PTCRB that the mini pro and X8 models have both received firmware certification for 2.1.
It now seems every model except the x10 mini is ready to be updated. That sucks.
hahaha , mini and mini pro have same firmware ... bullshits
Having an update for PC companion .Everyone at the end
Hello guys, I know it could sound really weird for you all, but here's my point: I just bought an Xperia Mini on eBay from a user claiming he had received it directly from Sony Ericsson as a free sample. I received it yesterday, it was unpacked and was sold together with the battery charger only. Nothing too strange.
By the way, after about half an hour I realized the phone had a front camera.
Ok, I watched the video and i know I'm a noob on XDA. But I'm no stupid
So don't tell me it's the light/proximity sensor! I wouldn't be here! It's a working front camera, since I can switch between this one and the "normal" one and take pictures. Here is a picture of the phone:
EDIT
Looks like I can't post links, so I'll just skip this step
Anyway, the other strange thing is that the phone comes with Android 2.3.3, build 4.0.A.2.368, and I can't update it. Not directly from the phone, nor using PC Companion. It just keeps saying the software is up to date.
So... have you ever heard of something like this? What should I do?
What is the phone model in the settings?
Model ST15i
I wrote to the seller, and he just answered me: he says that, working for a company that create applications for iOS and Android, they usually get five samples for each model. This is one of those. It could be, as I thought, a sort of "prototype". The thing is: I am grateful for the front camera, but I'd like to be able to get software updates, and this seems impossible. And also, I suppose that updating through "unofficial" ways would take to the impossibility of using the front camera.
i'm thinking of sending it back and buying a new one
I'm really envious right now...
really curious now.. Try adding photo's with the attachments feature !
where are you from?
can you share the link where you buy?
sorry for my bad english
Here's the picture of the phone... I wouldn't be envious at all, anyway. I have a couple of days to understand if I can update the phone, if updating causes the impossibility of using the front camera, and if - even worse - it can cause hardware incompatibilities, crashes, explosions or else. Then I have to decide if I want to send it back or not.
D'oh.
That's pretty cool... But it absolutely sucks that you can't update the firmware..
Maybe you can contact Sony and ask if there is any way to update..

If it was a test product, don't think they will be happy that an Xperia Mini is roaming around in the wild with a front camera. In my opinion if you really want to update, flash a ROM that is made for the Xperia Mini Pro, then you might be able to use the front camera. There is barely any difference between the XMP and XM then the HW keyboard and the Front camera.
an update is not necessary. you can flash a custom roms

Well... how do I create a backup copy of my firmware? Because I'm not sure it's the same as the "normal" 4.0.A.2.368. By the way, if I flash a new ROM on my device, what happens if I try to restore to the original manifacturer firmware? Does the phone keep it in memory, or does it restore to the new, "clean" firmware?

Install CWM recovery and do a backup maybe it will work if anything goes wrong
This phone is original?
What you could do is flash any Rom you want, that is from a Stock Rom. BUT! Always back up your system so that you can go back to it if something goes wrong.
If you need any help on how to's and stuff like that just tell me and ill help you out.
I'm curious by this system
You can root, install recovery CWM and send me one backup?
at least you can use face unlock after the official ics update
Hey everyone, i recently purchased my dad a new Z5C for his bday from a seller on Ebay. I am a bit paranoid about it though because it is on 5.1.1 and i cannot update it. I have tried doing it from phone settings, and the Xperia companion, but both say it is up to date, and i included a pic of what i got from the Sony website when i checked the IMEI (http://support.sonymobile.com/global-en/software/). So am i missing out on some info, is the update not fully out yet, or is this reason to support my paranoia.
On a side note, i have tried installing 3 tempered glass screen protectors and have gotten a large halo all around (air on the sides that wont come out) each time, is this common, do the glass screen protectors suck for this phone or is something fishy with this phone?
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!
Here is a pic of the halo effect I was talking about plus those little bubbles a fifth of the way down. All 3 new protectors have had the same issue.
Must have bought from the same seller, because the same thing happened to me. I got mine today and it showed a message saying it was a prototype device, which is my guess for why it says it can't be updated and Sony claiming it to be up to date.
I am concerned about possible spyware and build quality issues, which is why I would like to upgrade it with a stock ROM ASAP. Sony probably won't help us, but maybe eBay can exert some pressure on the seller to take it back.

Yup, same seller. Did Xperia support mention if the phone is identical otherwise? One of the main reasons I got this phone, other than the size and specs, was the water resistance, which the Xperia X Compact lacks. I wouldn't mind keeping the phone if all that's different is the firmware, assuming we can get it flashed somehow. I'll give the software companion a try tomorrow as well and let you know what happens.

The most surprising thing is that the phone was supposed to be sold either in the Netherlands or Norway (I don't remember which exactly) but other than that it is a normal phone. Warranty expired a few years back as well. But it is a genuine Xperia. I do really like the phone as well perfect size and good amount of power. And do let me know of the results. Hopefully we can get this sorted out

Congrats! How did you go about upgrading it? I've been looking for a way to backup the TA/DRM keys before I took the plunge. I think the issue is that the keys are not in the standard format, but I can't verify. Were you able to get the keys somehow?

You don't have to worry about that because you don't have to open the bootloader. I just checked to be sure and I still got all my keys. Follow this guide here https://www.google.com/amp/s/b.marf...flashtool-and-xperifirm-guide/?marfeeltn=amp.
Make sure you install the drivers correctly for the programs, if using Windows 8,8.1, or 10 it gives you special instructions. The flash tool you can get from here http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php.
As long as the software you get matches your model number it can be any country. There was no US for the E5823 I went with customized Australian. If you need anymore info just reply or send me a message
Neither of the two links work for me.
