Hi guys,
i hear that the Arc has droid 2.3, an that x10 will be able to get it, but when an how? also is the tracker ID included in this?
i use it often along with my camera, mediascape and that isn't a big for me in any case, as i've seen the basic droid media system and i prefer it(looks nicer to me) i've looked here, an on sony website, but when i do an update it just tells me im up to date, and i got a global brand x10i, so its generic.
Unfortunately , maybe cause of how im searching for it, i can only find chats about 2.3 an ports from other based phones and not SE port. Im a bit out of touch, been awhile since i done flashing an all that, so any information or direction would be grand. Thanks in advance
official 2.3.3 will come out late q2 or early q3

I'll be getting a Rogers X10 sometime this week and I'm just educating myself on the root method etc before I actually get the phone. Anyway, I've pretty much got that figured out and the one click exploid method looks simple compared to the root method I had to use for my 911 patched HTC Dream, and since my computer is already setup with ADB and stuff it'll be fine.
Anyway, my question is regarding ROMs for this phone. I've only ever flashed Cyanogen onto any device and those are pretty straight forward as far as what version of android it is. I don't see a whole lot going on with this phone as far as good custom firmwares go and it's kind of discouraging me from getting this device. The phone itself ships with 1.6 on it, and I've been using 2.2 on my Dream since the CM update came out... even though this phone totally dominates the dream, I don't fancy the idea of going back to Donut.
I'm having a really hard time finding which one of the "RXXA0XX" firmwares is the newest, and which versions they run.
Any help is mundo appreciate.

R2BA026 is the newest unless you use AT&T, and all run X10 FW as of now runs on 1.6, and as the bootloader hasn't been cracked yet 1.6 is all you can run.

Mmm that's what I figured. Do we know of anyone actively working that?
I REALLY don't like the way that Sony GUI looks.

Check out the Themes and Apps section- read up on ADW in particular
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.

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.

so happy coz they listening us
and soooooooooo sad, coz my device wont get the update
Noticed this few days ago, sad that it's not coming to our Mini Pros. I don't like the way SE do their upgrades regarding their Android phones. HTC always releases updates quick and have their devices up do date. It took so long for SE to get from 1.6 to 2.1, when the mainstream at the time were all having 2.1. Now when everyone else is having 2.2, we will be stuck on 2.1 (officially) forever.
OTA FROM MOBILE. JUST GOT IT YESTERDAY. Sorry bout screaming testing it out. Really fast. Keyboard feels more responsive. Cool little features here n there. Overall like it. Try going to phone system update and check urs.

We are waiting in uae
there's cm7 running 2.3, and you guys are hoping for 2.2? forgive me if i sound brash, but 2.2 really nowhere near the smoothness of 2.3.
2.2 better then 2.1

I updated to 2.2 as well, but I downloaded the update.zip and loaded it to my SD card in recovery mode to install. Works like a charm.
I got a bit bored of waiting on the UK 2.2 release, not sure when it's coming out.
Anyway, I went the down the 2.3 route with CM7, and very happy with it.
A question I was going to ask before, but never did, is, if you were on 2.1 and went to 2.2 via the official route, would you still be able to update to 2.3 with CM7?
I'm wondering whether Motorola would lock the phone down further to try and prevent it.
Hi, no need to worry, you can update to cm7 without any problems.
Motorola understands that we don't want to be locked out of our phones.
The carriers are the ones who make motorola doing this locked bootloader thing.

My HTC Aria was stolen last night, so I'm in the market for a new phone. I was pretty happy with the Aria, but I'm checking out some other options to see if I want to stick with it or not. I have to stay with AT&T so the X10 is on my list to check out..
1) Is the X10 currently rootable with the latest stock AT&T ROM?
2) What are the big issues/annoyances with the X10 (if any)?
Thanks!
the latest rom for AT&T is 1.6, so you would need to flash to a generic rom to get the latest (stock) version. by now we are officially on 2.1 but SE will release gingerbread in a couple of months.
you can also flash any of the great roms from the xda x10 devs that are based on 2.2 or 2.3 if thats how you roll.
and yes, as far as I can tell, all the official x10 roms are rootable.
as for annoyances, people say that the usb port tends to come loose but i havent had this problem. for me, the biggest problem is battery life which sucks, cant ever get more than 1-1.5 days out of it, 2 if im lucky.
the camera is awesome (even better than my camera hehe).. so yeah, definitely consider getting it. i'm pretty pleased with mine
you can go for the latest arc/neo if you have more budget
the x10 is old and the bootloader is locked (read: not unlockable)
the latest SE android phones can have their bootloaders unlocked officially through their own website.
