Before someone starts to throw things at me let me just explain my doubt.
As many of you I have been waiting for the update to 2.1 for a long time.
I have read most of the reviews that cover what changes from 1.6 to 2.1, but I see many people trying to revert back to 1.6.
I would just like to know if in your opinion it is worth updating an U20i to 2.1.
Thanks for your input.
i updated my x10 to android 2.1 for the sake of very good apps
So there are no unbearable bugs or drawbacks in Android 2.1 from 1.6?
So far we have 4 votes for 2.1, anyone care to explain what were the major gains or major drawbacks / problems after the update?
Keep the votes coming
there are no diffrences except the browser the base system and the skin

This almost sound as a funny answer. "There are no differences, only everything changes" hehe
Rofl, I like 2.1 now after getting it to work, wouldn't want to go back tbh.

rlly how much ofthe updates do u rlly use???
2.1 is useless
i want 2.2 so i can get the flash playeer
yesyes i know the stupid snapdragon
however NO MULTITOUCH in 2.1
thats an biig bug!!!!!!!
stupid SE shoud go and kill themselves
well now we know who voted against the 2.1 :=)
I should do the update tonight if I am able. Then I'll leave a comment too
My phone got slightly faster. But I updated mostly for the apps
I've just updated to 2.1 and I too note less freezes and a smoother operation. Plus I got my phone debranded and I have access to all the nice applications available on the android market.
Lets see if we can get the bootloader cracked and are able to eventually get 2.2 or even 2.3 on this wonderful device.
The only annoyance I have with 2.1 is I can't seem to get default input to stay off, something keeps reactivating it.

How can I use ant+? I've updated my phone to .06 and tried with my garmin heart rate band (ant+) and mytracks. But there is no option to pair?
I've upgraded and I can't actually see any difference to anything.
Waste of time IMO.
I agree.. waste of time (and I will stick to that responce until its actually available in Germany )
one small question tho.. I have asked S.E but got no reply.. have they managed to get Bluetooth TrackID\callerID working with this update? or is just that crap ANT ****e that I will never use?
looks like I will have to buy an HTC, Motorola or Samsung to use my Sony Ericsson BT headset to its full capability.

I've ordered the mw600 bt headset, and I'm running the .06 update. I'll let you know how it works when the headset arrives. But I fear it will be a no go..
My main gripe at the moment is: how to pair an ant+ device! I don't understand, they are adding a feature, but don't let you know how to use it. Such a great little phone, but SE is handling the after market completely wrong (IMO).

Yea, I wonder if SE just implemented it the same way as they have BT (Badly) they figure no one would actually use ANT and therfore why bother getting it right..
Please let me know how you get on with the MW600 (if it works on .6 I might have to update my firmware.. and stop calling SE a bunch of F***'s )
(BTW its a great headset, I have had mine for a while now and it sounds fantastic and the battery life is really impressive, even using it with big over the head Headphone)

it is the one that will allow you to optimize the battery life cycle, by providing one console to switch settings of most common battery culprit on the phone. it also provide a simple suggestion on each settings.
im gonna have to say no to this update.. cuz even after enabling jit.. my phone slow as crap >< 4.0 mflops compared to 8.5 on .24 :S
i say No for this Update, because the graphic slowdown, my neocore test only get 37.8 fbs compared to .24's 47.8fbs. hope someone can solve this problem.
I have to say with trying out 2.2 and recovering all the time my phone really slowed down. So I formatted the SD cache and that helped a lot. But a couple of programs were chocking on my phone, so I did a fresh install of .06 and it is so much faster. I have only about 77MB internal memory, and haven't installed apps2sd yet and I won't bother, it doesn't help as much as I though at least on this firmware. My photos and music etc. load waaaaaaaay faster. Anything I do on this phone is faster than mine with apps2sd.
this update fixed a bunch of bluetooth->handsfree bugs as well as wifi bugs, (WPA enterprise did not work for me before) I think its very well worth it, its finally working as well as i want it ito...
Waiting for JIT...
If I update my mini, I still have root?
PS Sry for my english

you can always install the stock 2.1.B.0.1 firmware that came out several days ago. I am using it and with a few tweaks it works great and has a lot of improvements

Firstly.. do you have a X10i?
If you do
Then flash the stock rom.
Flash BB.67
Then flash Wolf breaks rom once it's started up crash the server and reboot a few times.
Then flash the TW 007 patch for WB's rom.
Here is the link to the thread that has this fw:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=936733
also i have posted my impressions on this fw on another thread, however i am copy pasting them again here, no prob:
I got it yesterday from xda and to be honest I was not sure whether to update or not, cause of the loss of apps and settings (I have to do them all over again cause I don’t like to back up stuff). I prefer to start fresh when I update. Anyways, to get to the point, the update at first did not seem any different, however after using it for a day it gives the phone a GREATLY improved interface. What I’ve noticed so far:
1. Touch screen is more responsive and the scrolling is smoother (I use launcherPro). I have also tried games like Fruit Ninja, Cut the Rope and Can Knockout 2 and there is a great improve on the touch response without lags or delays. In addition, touch seems more precise.
2. When I wake up the phone and unlock it it does not lag like it did in the previous firmware (.435)
3. Apps and in general everything I tap to open responds faster and has an animation (Not sure if that was from before, I noticed now)
4. I have noticed that the media volume is way higher, I hope I am not mistaken but to me it seems really higher than before. Not sure about the in-call volume though, I cannot really tell any difference, at least not a major one.
5. There is a difference into battery life definitely. I use ATK(Advanced task killer), Autokill set to Screen Off and Security level to Medium. After the upgrade the battery seems to drain slower. However, I cannot tell since I am using the phone for only one day, but i can say that after an normal use of the phone during the day, with several calls, gaming etc. my battery now is down to 73%
That is all i’ve noticed so far. I am not a tester, just a simple user. I have not run any benchmark or similar tests on the phone. I am posting this for the simple users that want to know what to expect from this upgrade.
P.S.: I have removed junk appks and enabled JIT right from the beggining of usage. I figured if I do it before actually use the phone it would reduce the chance for those apps to collect information and save it on the phone, thus improve maybe a bit the speed and space.

now that's weird. did you delete any apks from the phone? if yes make sure you didn't delete the wrong ones. you can either restore them if you have made a backup of them or reflash...
So did it work out? I have a X10a that I flashed to generic firmware and it says X10i now. I am in the USA and wondering if it would work here..

Technically this update is regional, not global, so there could be battery and signal issues if it is not designed for your region. Not enough senior USA X10a members have reported their results trying this German firmware on X10A yet. Try it, if you have trouble flash back, and report back on xda.
Works fine southeast North America x10a

need a little help guys... i have this little generic tablet, its called a joyplus M703... well i dont really use it for much at all so i thought i would see if i could try and get it rooted maybe even updated to gingerbread at least.. I've tried websearching with little or no joy so i was wondering if anyone had any ideas of how i could install some kind of rom?something barebones so i could stretch the battery time.. make it run a little smother... anythoughts?
Hi people, I'm new here, but I would like to ask whether all or only happens to me with 2.3.7 GB roms only left channel sound from the speaker, I mean in games and music, at 2.3.4 GB or ICS fails, I would like to know why and if there is any solution since I love the X-gamer rom but has this fault, greetings and hope your answers! Sorry for my English (google translate)
i don't think there is a Software problem , maybe problem is from your hardware, specially if you didn't mess with your phone
hope help you
