So Rogers X10a Users, did you guys get your update yet? Also does anyone know how to update the X10a to 2.1? Thanks
I plugged my phone to SEUS yesterday night and it said phone was up-to-date

Pretty sure you can just follow what was posted in other threads.
My phone is orginally from rogers but I unlocked it and activated it with Telus. I just followed the steps for the Nordic 2.1.
Rogers is supposedly releasing the official update next week: http://mobilesyrup.com/2010/11/02/s...to-os-2-1-available-the-week-of-november-8th/
That said, why wait?
Video of a Rogers X10a getting upgraded in <10 minutes.
lol i honestly don't see the rush anymore. after reading through all the fails and bugs i'll take my time with my 1.6 to update until more general fixes and stuff get released by sony

Thanks for the response guys. Also I am with goothu99 on this one. When the 020 023 026 firmwares came out in the summer i was one of the first and on the way I hit some bugs and snags here and there. Looks like the 2.1 is solid but i guess i wait a bit more. If not released next week what the heck I just use the global one that's posted.
Looks like Canada is getting the update Nov. 8th.
Rogers sent me a replacement x10, cause mine had something wrong with it... Just got it today, but I'm going to wait till the update comes to use it...fresh start
I'm using the X10i version and it works fine ...
And i hope we will find a Generic version of X10 somewhere as i don't want a version "customized" with Rogers bloatware.

I did the upgrade on my rogers handset here in the GTA and had no issues. rooted and all is well.. calls are perfect, all functions are just great.
I think I'm going to wait it out till next week, and if they don't release by then, I'll use these methods

Rogers 2.1 Upgrade
I don't see it being release in the next week or so.
I just upgrade 2 X10s on Rogers with the Nordic firmware with very little issue.
The issues I did find are APN will NOT setup, it looks like it will download, but it will NOT. The work around is backup the APN's before upgraded, then added internet.com apn address
Name: Rogers
APN: internet.com
Username: wapuser1
Password: wap
after this, you will have mobile internet access.
Second issue: The mobile backup will not work for the contact list. (you can backup using 1.6 but it will not restore in 2.1)
To backup your phone book, in 1.6 Open the phonebook app. press the left button, select backup contacts (maybe under More)
save them to the memory card.
After you upgrade, do the same thing and click on import contacts
select Memory card, select phone contact. Then your contacts will be restored
I don't recommend restoring the system settings but you can.
Wifi: working
mobile internet: working (after adding internet.com apn)
Camera: working and HD
Phone: working
Speed: MUCH faster
RAM: more available.
ROOT access: still testing.
NORDIC vs GENERIC
Hello,
been doing a lot of reading but i'm not clear on why go with Nordic vs Generic.
I have a Rogers X10a ... should I go with the NORDIC or GENERIC(GLOBAL) 2.1 FW ?
thanks!
Fadi
Just go with the x10a update that will be released tomorrow or monday

Upgraded to 2.1 global version, added rogers apn settings, rooted, used optimizer v2, rerooted and it is ... as the family guy would say ... fricken sweet. Everything is working great. Thanks to all the experts out there for the firmwares and tools.

I updated my Vodafone X10 to 2.1 (2.1 has not been released for my product code yet) and I used global generic.
I noticed that after that I started having problems with signal drops, So I reflashed a few times but still the same.
I'm not saying it's the update for sure, since it could be a problem with my phone, but has anyone experienced this?
PS: I also replaced my sim card, and still have the same problems.

I'm with Optus and not Vodafone but I'm not experiencing anything like this.
im on Optus in Newcastle NSW and signal is good. never drops out but i get the occasional issue sending txt msgs. im on nordic 2.1 still.
Hmmm.
I think it might be my phone.
I downgraded back to 1.6, and although i havent had a any dropout yet, while comparing another nokia phone I have, i seem to get lower signal.
That's only in the hours or so since i downgraded.
I'll keep an eye on it, and report, but probably my phone being dead, and nothing related to 2.1
I have the same problems as well, i live in China.
I have singapore verision updated to 2.1, and then i always lose signal, i cannot make any phone call or people are quite difficult to call me.. this happen randomly
I flashed to global 2.1 when it 1st came out and experienced the same signal dropout that your talking about. My data signal kept dropping out and coming back. Got annoying. Eventually flashed to Optus 2.1 and everything is perfect. It's the global firmware, not your phone.
Try change your build.prop codes to the Optus au codes and see if you can use that firmware for Vodafone. Just root and delete all things Optus zoo

I have this problem in Newcastle, too. I've found 'reregistering' my phone on the network fixes it.

I too have just upgraded my X10 to 2.1 Generic. Im with 3 and have had poor signal for about 18 months (since Vodafone bought into 3). Since doing the upgrade, I now have HSDPA connections and the signal strength and quality of calls has greatly improved.
I am a optus user. After i upgraded the firmware to 2.1, my wifi just stops working. When i turn wifi function on, there is wifi logo appearing on the top of the screen and never detects any wifi access point. Anyone knows what is going on? Is that a bug of 2.1? as wifi was working fine with 1.6
IM from south Africa,on Vodacom/vodaphone and have the same issue with connection dropping on data,but found that it seems to be a tower problem or network problem rather than a phone problem,at home i have no issues like this but in far out towns with graham bell old technology in the towers the issue happens alot.
Hi everyone,
Last few weeks ive been getting alot of missed call texts even though the phone hasnt rang. Internet browsing is slow and intermittent.
Is there a recommended radio update for orange uk users? Just wondering before i start complaining to orange lol.
Currently using
Elelinux 2.2.1 final
Flykernal 12a @ 176-614
Radio 63.18.55.06PU6.35.15.11
Thanks a lot

Hey.
Your radio is two releases behind mine. I am on orange UK, and the missed call texts come a few minutes late, and the GPS lock is quicker and more reliable. But I do lose signal easier and more frequently. You can try it out.
The version I have is the 63.18.55.06SU_6.35.17.03; and doing a google search for VILLAINROM GSM HTC HERO RADIO should bring the page where this is available.
I have not moved or changed locations or anything but after updating the newest samsung firmware (on friday) my phone is now 100% of the time roaming. I've checked the network settings and it says Tmobile in there as it should (i'm on Tmobile in america with the i9300).
Is there something i did wrong? I updated it with Kies, what can i do to downgrade back to the old firmware if i get tired of this roaming business?
try changing your modem

How did you be able to update your i9300 cause i am using i9300 and t-mobile as well. But no update for me at all.
I am located in NY btw so do you think I have to wait or not gonna get the update at all
Edit, Just updated mine via odin and working good

I am not sure, but its funny my friend has the BLUE i9300 bought 3 weeks after mine, and he was not getting a notification of the update via kies either, but it did give it to me and my phone the exact day it was out (uk firmware).
about changing the modem, will I need to root for that? i prefer to run stock for now..
that's bizarre but it probably has something to do with the phone being an internation model with a uk csc, but i've used my S1 from the uk several times in the u.s. with t-mobile and never had that problem .....can only assume it is a bug

Yea becuase when the phone arrived it worked great (even had a minor firmware upgrade the day i opened which was like june 15th ish or a few days later) and still worked great, no Roaming at all, then with last weeks update now it roams
It's worth pointing out that changing the modem will not work as a valid solution in this case. If one uses a non-LFB modem with the LFB ROM, the mic doesn't get used. One would have to also go to an older rom in addition to a different modem.
I'm having the same exact issue.
Need a solution.
Tried a factory reset. No dice.
Hi guys,
Didn`t find answer for my questions, so decided to link myself to similar topic.
Since the SW update I have done today my phone doesn`t lock to a network
When I go to settings to find a carrier manually, It takes about 2 minutes to find 4-5 networks available around, I am picking o2 UK (as I have a contract with them) and it says : Registering to o2 UK which takes about 4 minutes. After this it says : Emergency calls only and there is no status bars at all.
Master reset didn`t help.
What steps should I take ?
For you reference :
- Phone took from CPW in UK as sim free
- SIM Card used is from o2 UK (contract)
- I don`t want to flash anything, I would like to stay to stock ROM (if possible)
UPDATE : Chosen `Select Automaticly` allowed the phone to find signal, could make a call etc, but after 30 minutes lost signal again....

U Using it in india? Which network u using?
Any updates?
I did find out that the CSC that was applied by default was KOR. I went in and changed this to BTU using *#272*imei#, but still did not solve the issue.
Wondering if a repartition would help?

If u do not wish to root then your only option is to take it back to the store, so they can fix, u bought the best smart phone available on the market and u can't make phone calls or browse internet(without wifi).
To my understanding, still no resolution on this..
My friends phone after being updated (he just got his first update after having the phone a month) is now roaming as well.. So this is definately something either with our network (t-mobile) or the recent updates.
I've just started living with it, but it sucks becuase it does silly things like makes me click 'download image' when someone sends me a picture message in text...
with the few bugs could be ironed out of this phone kinda frustrating.
I do have similar problems since I installed an update 2 weeks ago. at home the phone says it is roaming at work approx 6 miles away and with a different station I am connecting to it is fine.

Thats interesting, no matter where I go i get roaming. Though a few times I have gotten the 'roaming' warning popped up, so maybe i went out of roaming and didnt know it? I'll keep a closer eye on it.
It is very frustrating and annoying. I've called T-Mobile and they said they would open a case with Samsung. If you guys could call too, we might get a fix.
I really suspect it is something in the CSC. Maybe if we could get the T Mobile SIII CSC and apply it?

My suspicion is wrong. I pulled the TMB CSC from a T999 ROM and manually copied it to /system/csc/TMB, then used the CSC Selector App to change to TMB.
No dice. Still in Roaming.
Hello,
Anyone one got one from three.co.uk? I'm finding the software is clunky out of the box. Is that because the three ROM is rubbish?
Thanks
What part do you find clunky?

When answering a call the screen transition lags, the animation when closing and opening apps stutters.
Have you tried upgrading the firmware?
The newer ones are significantly smoother than the original stock.
If you want more "smoothness" then I'd recommend a custom aftermarket rom such as Wanamlite or Omega

When I connected it to the wireless internet for the first time it said there was a software update. But when I clicked on the update it said there wasn't one? Where do I get the update from? I've currently got 4.0.4 (API 15)

Hi,
I'm also on Three UK. Currently using Omega 9.1 (Firmware:XXBLG1, Modem:XXLFB, CSC:H3GALE4).
It functioned better than the original stock but I bought the phone 2 days after it was released in the UK so I never tried any of the stock firmware upgrades via Kies. I'd be interested to hear how you get on of you go this way. What version on you on?
Aside from using it as a phone I primarilly bought it to act as my home broadband provider on the "All-you-can-eat" data package as my landline internet connection is appalling (I live in rural Cornwall!).
So I'd also be interested if you ever experiment with different ROM/MODEMS & CSCs and what works best for you. Three in the UK are unique in that the transmit using UMTS protocol on 2100MHz frequency so I wonder if the Three specific modem which for me was originally NELE4 works better - I am thinking of re-flashing that modem but at the moment I am offshore so there's little point.
