This is good bye from The Gingerbread Man (temp) - XPERIA X10 General

Hello my friends here at XDA!!
It brings me great sadness to say you wont really really see much of me round here for a while. I originally planned to make this thread in about a weeks time when i leave for my holiday to Florida for 2 weeks but im going to post now as today i have sent my beloved X10 for repair due to accidental damage. My x10 is not due back till wednesday, the day before i leave for my holidays.
This leaves me phoneless, i do not own a laptop and tbh i rarely have the patentience to use my **** old pc which sounds like its about to take off with the fan spinning so loudly! I odnt know if any of you notice but 99.999999999% of my posts and pm come from my xda premium app or tapatalk for this very reason!
On the plus side when i get back from my holidays i will be up for an upgrade on my contact and be able to get a better newer phone. When i find something i really like and want i will be leaving you guys. I will pop in of course to 'visit' and when i can i shall post before my holidays. I have a full time job and girlfriend and fairly active social life so dont expect to see much of me is all im saying and when the time comes to move on permananltly il leave you all know.
So really this is just to say you wont see much of me round here for perhaps about 3 weeks give or take a few days.
Peace and out,
Steve
PS
Im open to suggestions for new phones to get and reasons why. Im staying with android and dont want a sgs2
Bye for now..............

Hey Steve,
Hope the effect of cider wears off your x10 soon!!
Enjoy your holidays man!!
As for the new phone... stay with us mate! jk

can you please mention the reason you dont like SGS2 i think is the best option for replacement phone

Wait for new nexus phone...that is what I would do.

and its really better to wait for the next Nexus phone!!

Hi Bro,
It is strange not seeing you around today as i know you will be missing all the fun of the bootloader unlock. What a time hey to get your phone drunk, i bet you not do that again mate lol.
Well i hope you get a phone sorted quick and that you enjoy your hols, maybe when you get back you can sort out another cheap x10 so you can play around with the unlocked bootloader with us all but if you get upgraded maybe you will not want to bother as you will have something better, well hopefully.
chat when you can mate.

What to say i feel bad

I know exactly how you feel, my x10 got stolen and vodafone didn't have any x10
They gave me Neo instead and its a awesome phone and all but with the bootloader unlock now I'm gutted...
Have a good holiday mate

you lucked out huge.

it is tomorrow i leave for my holiday, 2 weeks time il be back and hopefully have a phone, mine still isnt back from repair, im leaveing for manchester airport at 5am uk time so looks like no phone to take on holiday. Im sad without it and iv missed loads since iv been gone only one week.

New HD2 On its way :-)

Hey All
Just ordered myself a HD2 off of Ebay. Paid $750aud inc shipping. Finally decided to retire my slow old Xperia X1, will prob just keep using it to test new rom's that come out....
Now I have a few questions. Are they're any special tweaks or cabs to install to make it better? What case's are people mainly using with the HD2? Any general problems or things I should know?
Thanks everyone
I think that is very personal.
I am using cookie tab now and it is very good for what i like about a phone. Just look around this forum and read, try and experience !
It`s very nice to try tweaks especially if they are in a cab. If you don`t like it, just uninstall. If anything is not good the folks here will help you set thing right again.
Its a great forum for a great phone

You will not be disappointed... I was worried about the lack of keyboard when I made the change from the X1 to the HD2 and I can tell you its not a problem... for tweaks a must is BSB Tweaks (found on here in a sticky I think), has loads of tweaks that are very handy... there is also a thread on things to do with your HD2 when you get it... some of them are covered by bsb others not so much all handy... I have not yet had a problem with my HD2 but some do... again there are loads of threads about this problem or that... so far (touches wood as probably just jinxed myself) its been all gravy...
I reckon you should stay with the oem rom for at least a week and research this forum. customising your hd2 is a very personal thing, what suits one will not suit another. there's a thread which people post there must have apps, I would try there first. that's my opinion
It is interesting to see how fast the pricing of the Leo drops from 820AUD at the end of Jan to 750AUD now.
But anyway I recommand you to test your device for few days before doing some flashing or customising to see if there is any hardware issues
If I were you I would install several tweak softwares like BSB and HD2Tweak.
just to cover all the available reg tweaks
Just my tiny bit of advice
The Leo should amaze you lol
Cheers

hi guys, i want to ask~
is AU's telstra version hd2 using exactly the same frequencies with US's T MOBILE versions?
thank you.
im not sure if AU's version can use China's WCDMA frequencies.
Ebay
I just hope you get it. I ordered a phone via ebay before and got burnt along with many others, had a good rep etc. Anyway Ebay are basically useless in terms of assisting to get any $ back.
Other than that you'll love it, its a great phone and very customizable.

Its not true. Paypal buyer protection is very good. They always return my money when they should. And the seller must prove that you got the parcel.
Yer I was planning on staying on the stock rom for a bit....funny I used to flash my xperia to be like a stock HTC phone, so yer the stock rom should keep me happy for a few weeks...
Yer I was a bit skeptical about having only an onscreen keyboard, one of the things I loved about the xperia was the HW keyboard
Cant wait till it arrives, it looks like an amazing phone

I had asked HTC on twitter when the new win7 phones will be coming out since I was interested in the hd2, they told me that the first phones will be for sale in Q4,
Right now i dont know exactly what to do. But ill give it a chance and hope for an update. So ill be getting the HD2 tonight.
I bought an xperia last year in feb and was really dissapointed when there werent any new official panels, thnx to XDA I pimped my phone a little bit. But now when I recieve my new phone tonight, ill give my old Xperia to my mother who needs a new phone

Unfortunately not in my case and with 32 other people. Thats how many people this guy stung. Through letters from all victims, QLD police investigated, and the guy was tracked down and currently behind bars, this was the update from the police however still no money despite chasing for it.

Adios buddies

Sorry for being an idiot in the middle of this celebration, now that X10 is getting officially Gingerbread...
I have a broken heart right now. My X10 was stolen this morning.
I didn't have an insurance plan so they can't give a new one... I already went to the police, but nothing...
You see it guys? How ironic the life can be sometimes. My X10 is stolen the same day Gingerbread is officially announced...
Guys, Im very broken-down, Im really depressed. Hope not bothering with this thread, but I only wanted to let you know, and give you an advise: take care a lot of your X10 and enjoy it now more than anything.
Congrats to SE, and for this great decision, Im gonna really consider to get Neo or XPlay at the end of this year.
And thanks all the devs for all their wonderful work. I learned a lot about Android and I really enjoyed it.
Also, thanks to all guys that helped me and share my point of view. And thanks to those who were against me too, at the end it was good to debate.
Good bye for now and I hope to come back soon.

Report it to your carrier. It's pretty obvious where your phone is being used to them, since they have the IMEI number. And, if they can't get it back, they can at least ban the IMEI from the network, making it useless for the guy who stole it!
Guys, thanks for your support. Im much better now, my girl and my friends have bring me back. I won't get back my X10, I know it, but life goes on, doesn't it?
Im still kinda sad, I really miss my Xperia... But hey, there are good news; now that SE has given a good step and took the right decision, Im looking at Neo or XPlay as I said before, but I have a special interest in Neo (I don't really like Arc). I calculate Im gonna have it at the end of this year, or probably before, I still don't know.
And yes, I already reported my X10 to my carrier, I asked for blocking the IMEI, hope that works.
But I still say bye 'cause I can't participate for now on this forum since I don't have a X10 anymore. See you later, future Neo/Xplay owners
you lost your mobile,not your life.

Heads up caifan!
You aim for that Xplay or that Neo!
Knowing SE, 2012 will come and the rest of us will still be waiting for the gddmn update...
Sorry about the insurance bro; Telcel only accepts "losses with violence", ie. you need to be mugged in order for the device insurance to be applicable.
really sorry to hear about that m8 last summer someone broke my car window and stole my SE P990...Although it was an old phone and had no particular value, i know how you feel..Heads up and i hope they bust whoever did this and beat the **** outta him!
When I see all this support, it becomes hard to say bye hahaha.
Thanks a lot guys. you know? I was about to design some themes for X10, but now I don't have it for testing them. However, I'll be designing some wallpapers for your phones. So, I couldn't say totally 'bye' 'cause Im still here, not so much like before, but I'll still be around sometimes.
Once again, thank you all, You make me feel better
sometimes you have to say good bye to old stuff and make way for the new stuff
good bye [old]

Waiting isn't my strongest skill

Probably recognizable for most of the die hard members here. It's like waiting for someone posting a new rom, you keep bashing F5 to see if something is there yet. Now I have a similar problem. Yesterday I received a message from my provider my contract is renewed and the Arc is on his way to my house as we speak.
I checked out Track&Trace and the parcel indeed has left the transport company this morning. Now I notice I keep looking outside the window every 2 minutes I already have the feeling I am a bit behind, while this phone just hit the market a couple of weeks ago.
Well, not a very constructive post I assume, but I thought I share something useless for a change with you guys. I already saw a few familiar names from people who came of X10, but going through the topics I already noticed lots of new names.
Hopefully some good devs buy this thing as well so we can fool around a lot with this beauty.........hmmm....still no postman here
Cheers,
Arnold
Congratulations on a nice buy and I hope for your sanitys sake the postman arrives soon

Seems Zdzihu and Bin4ry are both getting involved.. though neither of them have the device yet!.. and Welcome!
Now that is great news. Let's get this thing rooted than
Did you unlocked the bootloader yet? For now I can't see the point actually so I think I wait till it has some advantages for us. Great to see you here too. As you now I am not a dev, the only thing I can do is make some graphical things for the eye and some (un)usefull comments
Man, waiting can be taking some time. I am out of sigarets (I know, bad habit), but I don't dare to leave the house for 15 minutes, because with my luck the postman will be here in that 15 minutes :lol
Welcome
Arc is one of the best phones out there.
Rooting for a custom rom seems to be quite difficult...
You might have to wait a bit.

i know exactly how u feel. i ordered 2 and had to wait for a month before i cud get my hands on em. i called sony showroom everyday and eventually when it came, they gave me a discount
"all good things to those who wait"
@ arnold:
btw I ordered one for me and one for the mrs. same as you...
Well my wife changed here mind and went to another provider where she gets an ipad2 for free with a 2 year contract for 32euro a month. Really can't understand how they can make money on these kind of offers. I spoke with kpn for a while and in the end I get my arc for free now. In exchange it will be delivered by a very slow postman
Sent from my X10i using Tapatalk
Mate, you are going to love it when it arrives. It really is a huge step up from the X10.
I played with the X10 a little this morning and it made me realize how much better the arc is. Also, X10 feels like an absolute brick in comparison.
Hope it turns up soon!!!

like hyperx10 said, ull love it. it really is the sexiest gadget i've held in my hand and not bcoz i spent money for it ... really worth the wait. if only devs root it soon.
pollypix: cant wait for you to make awesome wallpapers for arc!
does the arc also has the 960x854 resolution? In that case you can use the 180 wallpapers i posted in the x10 section. Or would it be wise than to copy it to the arc section as well?
480x854 screen, so those wallpapers will work.

I got mine today too...
I was scared to go to the toilet because it is at the far end of the house and I wouldn't hear the doorman. It didn't help that I had to wait until 3pm for him to arrive
But it was all worth it am loving the phone so far...
If you think that's bad, how about actually having the box in the house but having to prevent yourself from opening it because you have work that needs to be done? xD
I got mine with Three UK, their "All-you-can-eat data" (real unlimited data usage with no fair use policy, tethering supported and advertised) for £40/mo with nothing to pay up front.
According to their store manager it's also unbranded and not SIM locked so when SE stop supporting it I'm hopeful I'll be able to unlock the bootloader

Goodbye, Farewell, Arrivederci, Adiós, See ya!

Right, bad new for me... My MD has decided today that everyone has to have a BB 9900, so my S2 which was going to be with me tomorrow is no more... To say I'm upset and pissed off would be an understatement, but alas, nothing I can do about it...
So if I hang around here beyond now it would be seen as a bit weird and creepy, so it's goodbye all... I won't miss the repetitive posts and questions, but I will miss the great humour and pen craft...

P.S. - I've got a 'Soul Black' Neo Hybrid on it's way in the post to me, so if anyone fancies it please PM me... Otherwise it will simply get sent back...

PM brother...
New BB arrived today, still hasnt been configured but I had a quick play...
Design is the usual, but back to the original width so larger than the recent ones... It is the thinnest one ever though... Feels well built and looks pretty smart... Keyboard does feel like the best BB one yet, but the keys above them are shiny so show fingerprints... Back is weird if you ask me... The battery cover is basically clear plastic/glass over a textured surface, again finger prints, but different I suppose...
Now then, OS7... What can I say? Same'ol'same old...As crap as ever but with a brand new lick of paint... Touchscreen works, but I just thought, what's the point really...
Read a post over at crackberry and some guy got rid of his S2 for one of these things... We might have some intellectually challenged members, but what does that make him?!
Anyway, I'd like to introduce you all to a great new charity... It's called the 'Get Caspa an S2 as his work decided to get him a BB 9900 at the last minute Fund', a great cause as he shouldn't have to suffer in this way... I'm sure you'll agree...
Rest assured, 100% of donations will go to the fund and remember, YOU can make a real difference in Caspa's life...

Read a post over at crackberry and some guy got rid of his S2 for one of these things... We might have some intellectually challenged members, but what does that make him?!
Anyway, I'd like to introduce you all to a great new charity... It's called the 'Get Caspa an S2 as his work decided to get him a BB 9900 at the last minute Fund', a great cause as he shouldn't have to suffer in this way... I'm sure you'll agree...
Rest assured, 100% of donations will go to the fund and remember, YOU can make a real difference in Caspa's life...

I can't afford to donate sadly(I'm still paying my own sgs2 off), but if it would help you feel better...I could take some pictures of my sgs2 when its out and about? My g/f has one aswell, so could post pics of both phones together?

I'm afraid that would upset me even more!
@ALL
WTF?!?! ... Who decided to rate my thread so low?! Some brain dead ****er no doubt... This shouldnt even be considered rateable! What are you rating, my misfortune / comments on the BB / general humour?!
Swines!
Don't you have a mobile of your own mate or do you just rely on your job to provide you with a phone?You can get the GS2 for free on contract in UK if you cant afford to purchase it outright although i always recommend purchasing outright and avoid long contracts.
Even if i had a job that provided a phone id still ensure i had my own phone and it wouldn't be a bloody iPhone or Blackberry either.
Just an observation

Goodbye X10 family

Hi,
Some of you may have seen me around, sadly the time has come to move on. I have a Galaxy S for a while and wont be around these parts as much, i will still pop by and say high now and then though.
I just wanted to say good bye to you all and thanks to all the dev's and user's who have helped me.
To many of you to single out so I made this post,
Good luck
Good bye mate..take care and i hope you enjoy your galaxy s (i think that is a valid phone)..i have seen you many time here and i know you helped us many times!! Thanks buddy!
Best regards
Francesco

Good luck man!!
You'll love having a phone that can handle good games and has multitouch I'm sure.
I'll be gone very shortly myself, as will a great deal of others I'm assuming
Good luck wth your new phone Andi, we have had some good fun with the x10 but like scooby said a lot of us will be moving on this year so it's bound to happen.
With you being a flash junkie i hope you get your daily fix with your sg, i am sure you will though as there is alot happening over there, keep in touch and let us know how things go, chat soon mate.
See you around Chiefy, enjoy your new shiny SGS
More and more are jumping ship by the day...
Looks like I'm gonna be the last x10'er left at this rate... I'm stuck here on a contract until March 2013...
Good luck chiefy have fun a lot DEV is their in galaxy s...
@frosty666 i m with u buddy
Enjoy your SGS still a excellent device, sometimes wish i had got it over my X10, although im loving at the moment.
Still have another 7months with my X10 and then i shall get a Samsung droid.
Cool, Have fun there Chiefy, But be careful, SG is not exactly as unbrickable as X10

The only way to really brick a phone is during a bad radio flash..
Just check your md5 sums and make sure to not flash either new boot file or radio if you have less than 30% battery or with the back cover off (so the battery doesn't fall out)
See ya 'round, chiefy!
I saw your post in the marketplace so I knew this was coming..
Have fun w/the new toy.
Enjoy your new phone man seen you around here alot of times thanks for helping other users and you might regret the fact that it is extremely complicated to root and all that compared to the x10 lol

Hardly...
I have owned many phones and read one quick tutorial and you're set.
Plus the fact you can do much more makes it all worth it.
I know I said my good bye to you through pm already but I thought I'd say it again. I'm sure you'll get much more satisfaction from galaxy being the techy guy that you are and I'm sure in less than a week you'll be on the cyanogenmod nightlies lol
Also I don't know if I ever did thank you proper for the various bits of advice over time you have given me, and also when I put together that tutorial for how to flash 2.2 beta 4 with your help all that time ago.
I wish you the very best for the future and don't be a stranger and your always very welcome to my Facebook group and continue being a mod there

Good luck Chiefy, it was great to see you in x10 community such a long time! Have fun with your brand new SGS, i hope you will come back here to us, cheers
Good luck to you. I have an x10 and recently bought an ATRIX. But I keep coming back to the x10 forums. I hope you find yourself coming back to these forums too. The x10 forums make my day. Have fun with the future phones you have.
