Hard Reset - XPERIA X10 General

Does anyone here know how to factory/hard reset this phone? Sonys servers are down or something, and now I can't use the software to do it. Is there a bootup sequence or combo? I want to return this thing but need to reset it first to clear my data.
Not sure what I was thinking ever buying anything by Sony.

What ! too complicated for you ?
Look in the phone somewhere there is a master reset.
Which make phone do you usually use ?

not sure if you're talking about this but goto settings>sd card & phone storage and factory reset is in there

Fast!
You guys work fast. Sorry I didn't mean to insult anyone, I've just never had anything but trouble with the quality of Sony products, and hardware wise this is ok so far, but the software is crap compared to nexus one in speed and smoothness etc. N1 should be here shortly.

But The Nexus is Android 2.1 so will be similar to the X10 wont it ? . This is my first Android phone and I presume most android phones would be similar in operating system with a few customisations.
I am an se fan

and am real happy with this phone, I think it is the best se phone to date and a good introduction to Android.
Would the Nexus be that different ? being Android.
Mind though I was Using a P1i before this so it was a big upgrade for me in current tech so has wowed me a bit.

The X10 is only android 1.6, so quite a few apps just wont work for it. Trying the N1 and the X10 side by side I found the X10 much slower and more annoying to use.
I found their 'timescape' and 'mediascape' apps to be useless and not a good reason to hold back their from from 2.1.
The developer community seems to also be non existant.
I'm sure it will make a great phone for some, but not for me.

I'm waiting eagerly to get my white X10. but i have to wait 1-2 more weeks since a carrier in sweden has it exlusive first 4 sale's weeks (hate them) anyways, comparing to HTC phones.. i have one.. and i'm just boored sich with their 1-4-all UI a.k.a touchflo3D/Sence it's ugly and old.. the X10 is imo a beutifull device that will beat all competition when the update comes.. with or without multi touch (most likely without)
I could not wait any more, and fiddeling with the devices in a few stores made my actually start liking the black one :> so i'm now a proud owner!

Guys i was online for hours and nothing seems to work so this is the last thing that i tried and it worked out beautifully all u have to do is download (SE-Update_Service_Setup-2.10.6.21 Google it i found it on rapid share servers) install it let it update then pick the phone that u have in our case the (XperiaX10) there is going to be 2 of them u would have to pick the one that says XperiaX10 twice once at the top and bottom once u select it follow the prompts and u all set it will install the newer software updating your phone which will hard reset it !

bye bye tytn

im on my 3rd one and it blacks out and the screen doesnt reposition properly this time. 1st two had the SA problem.
such a good phone, but i cant take its bugginess anymore!
gonna get an E70 or E50!
i agree 100%
i am on my second one and just cant stand the bugs
i am thinking of getting the artemis....the one with the GPS
i love the little ball thing it's just amazing.....
just dont know..
i am definately gona miss the keyboard on the tytn
nut anyway no point in looking back anymore
You'll be sorry
I had a Nokia E61 before the tytn. In fact I had three (replaced under warranty). Whilst Tytn has it's problems, the architecure is open and great forums like this one assist you in overcoming the problems. By contrast the Nokia software has it's bugs too (lot's). The problem is that the architecture is closed and you are totally at the mercy of Nokia who provide terrible service. In the 4 months I owned the E61 I only had it in my poossession for 1.5 months. The rest of the time it was at Nokia.
In the end I took it up with the carrier and had them give me a tytn as a replacement. To rub salt into the wound after the carrier had supplied the TYTN, Nokia called to say do you have a problem? gee we are sorry, perhaps we should have upgraded the level of your problem yada yada yada
Two of the happiest days I had last year was the day I received my new Nokia and the day I got rid of it.
if anyone wants to donate their tytn or sell it really really cheap let me know
I am open to offers...i've got the t-mobile variant...pm me
for what it's worth, I had to get 3 replacements for my orange uk m3100 in the 1st month but since I got this last one a couple of months ago, it works like a dream, i love it to bits. If at first you don't succeed . . . !
Hi there,
I have an HTC644 now (Vario II) which i got after replacing an HTC645 (touchscreen stopped responding after a while) and to be honest with you...
thats the best device I ever had, it works just fine for me. That includes every single option in the phone ( yay i'm not using outlook )
Of course it is not perfect (it could include some more "phone'ish" features), yet that's what this forum is about!
Too many people come around wining about their problems, and some people take their issues as a device review ...
If everyone in the world had a device like that - there would be no wars ! HOOAH!
I'm not gonna waste my time and wait for two weeks til i can get a 4th one. imagine having to deal with this mess everytime you use it...

its meant to be my inbox, but the screens sorta split in half, and the lowhalf isnt getting rid of messages/warnings/menus that have previously been up
theres no denying the tytn is a smashing phone, coz it is. Just that i cant take it anymore. each handset takes at least 10days to get repaired or replaced. I've been without it for a month in total. i'm not paying good money for a phone i hardly see and keeps letting me down when i do see it.
I've not had a series 60 before. but the nokias ive have had before have been reliable. I'm prepared to give it ago, cant be worse than the problems im having, where the screens no use, therefore making the phone irritating to use. at least with the nokia the screen isnt touch sensitive, so less likely to go crazy on me.
three strikes and youre out.

this is a good vid, shows all the leads etc that we will get and the unit itself which looks good.
hopefully in the next day or 2 they will upload the guy running through the software so we can see what software they included and how much they have improved it from the announcement model (if they have sorted the lag and changed or improved anything).
yeah, I'd like to see how it runs and how well it goes through the panels.
I'm considering purchasing one, just not right away...

Sigh... after watching the video, somehow just adds to the feeling that it really ain't much of a big improvement over the X1. But well, will still get it. And hopefully, it'll be out before the 1 year warranty of my X1 expires so that I can send it for servicing. Gotta get my keyboard issue resolved, now that I realized it ain't to do with me using a custom ROM.
If you want it to feel like a "big thing" just simply think of it as a standalone phone from the Xperia series, not as a successor to the X1.
After you establish that fact, it's just a new phone in the lineup.
I hope they won't put those pathetic earphones in the final set.
I would like to LAUGH one more time about their decision to use micro usb when all the companies in the undustry have agreed to use mini usb.
Midway through the video, just after he puts in the battery (which looks to be a standard X1 BST-41 ) - he hits a switch on the side. I was originally going to ask if that might be a Hold switch like the ASUS phones have - but I realize now its actually just a battery case lock - oh well.
Can't say I like the reduction of the buttons, makes for less customization, the micro-usb means I need to get mini-micro adapters (90% of all usb non-USB-A devices I've owned since 2002 have had Mini-USB plugs). Flat screen is nice though, being a little bigger can't hurt. Nice camera, but lower frame-rate on VGA recording like the X1a now for all editions? Mostly same specs though and no idea what software it will break... makes me with hold judgment on whether I'd ever buy it though. That and the fact I have a brand new X1 to play with in my hand right now .
Peter
P.S. Just saw your reply above me orelsi, I wish Mini-USB were the standard but I keep reading that it's now micro-usb - I'd be happy if you can prove me wrong on this Ref: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2341261,00.asp

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 user experience and stuff

Hi all,
today I got a X10 unit (here in Croatia there was a press conference) and X10 come with localized Android 1.6 Cupcake operating system.

I just put battery in side and connect to Internet.
Device is great, solid construction (I also have HTC Legend), it is fast, but without multitouch
Can you, please, confirm the presence of AWS (WDCMA-IV) 1700MHz band support?
BTW Android v1.5 was Cupcake, your X10 is running Donut.
PS: I don't give a flying f*ck about multitouch, it's a classic gimmick with no use for me - I prefer to be able use my phone with one hand instead of having to perform some two-handed gymnastics nonsensical gymnastics, only to gain nothing but lose safety when, say, I'm riding a train or driving a car or walking with my daughter holding her hand.
Tnx for correcting me, so where can I check AWS?
Well, I am playing with X10 for few hours, and I think that the main problem is 1.6 Android, in comparation with Legend (which I have) it is slightly slower. This can be seen in putting widgets.
What you see is the "Donut lag" - it is a common problem among Donut-based devices.
After someone releases a 2.x port it should be gone.
Well, we will sit and wait and I will continue to use my HTC Legend, hope to see upgrade rom from SE on 2.1
I know they will, it's only the question of when...
Retail version review from Stuff Mag:
anyway, they say that SE UI is pretty laggy...
Congratulations on your new device beetleman! Glad to see you went with an excellent choice. Hope you can include some more pictures soon.. Have you tried changing the background at all?
Thanks but I won this device and also HTC Legend, last week (what can I say, best week in my life- HTC Legend was in press conference,and SE Xperia x10 on SE event- I am ICT yournalist and editor in chief of Croatian e-zine about smartphones).
So I am very lucky, but as I said, it is good device, with big potential, so in comparation with Legend, Legend has smoother UI (HTC Sense) and implementation of services, but all thanks to 2.1 Eclair, so we wait update on X10.
Today I got him, so I will play with him a while, so we will se how it goes..
my main concern is TFT screen, because AMOLED screens are much better.

The X8 is not getting 2.2 or 2.3

It's official, the X8 will not be getting any android updates whatsoever beyond 2.1

No idea, ask sony phaggyson, I guess they think cheap phones with great hardware that are more than capable of running 2.3 still wont get them good money even if they update it..
fkn companies, this thing is way better than the wildfire i can't get my head around why they don't wanna update it.
You're a bit late there.
You can use a custom ROM (for example the Racht's ones) to upgrade your OS Android to 2.2 or 2.3.

in future...i will never buy another SE product!
Goin to buy HD7 or any Nokia+Microsoft product...
but Android/SE.....
NEVER AGAIN!!
That's actually quite absurd! Bad idea Sony!
Custom ROM has some bugs so it is not fully FROYO and GINGERBREAD but it is in evolve so we will have good custom ROMs in future but BE PATIENT!

Phone with lower CPU can have froyo installed on it. X8 should be sufficient running froyo, either it cost lot of money to support X8 or SE think why should support 'old' series when they can make money from new one with upgrade OS.

I agree. This was my first smartphone, so I had no idea what I was getting; I just wanted a dirt cheap android phone I could mess around with. With all the mods, hacks, and especially racht's custom ROMs (I couldn't believe how crappy the stock ROM was compared to those) I've been able to experiment with, I have a much better idea of what I want out of my next android phone and what it will be capable of. As for SE, you're right: never again.
Agreed. I've just installed my first ROM (2.2.1 CM HACKDROID v0.12) on my X8 and there is no way i am going back to the original!! Works great apart from a few setbacks like vibration not working, unable to move apps to SD and locks on its own sometimes while i'm using it. But having said that it's still much better than the stock OS!!
hey mister, where did you got the screen shoot? can you provide a link? why rather give a screen shot either than link?
if it is true, i will never by SE product anymore, i will rather choose I-Phone 4 either than xperia x8
Thinking of getting this.
using rcht's rom... its awesome!!!

This is the version of android , i would like to run

I cannot post links . Please google Remix os
Ex-Googlers have created REMIX OS ,this is the android , i would like to run rather than BS phone os. If 3 people can do this , it means something is wrong with google.

damn if we could flash that on the nexus 9 that would be siiiick
my first impression is .... surface on android. 2GB ram makes me wonder though.
would be sweet if they sold (or gave it away) it as a separate OS so we could run it on any hardware.
Looks like Kickstarter is up...
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1123481999/remix-a-laptop-experience-on-a-big-android-tablet
I don't know how, but I was lucky enough to snag one of the $39 units. Looking forward to playing around with it.
Nice score ?

So what you really want, is multi-window Android, and a launcher capable of showing running applications.
There are a number of 'hack' implementations of this idea, samsung has one, omnirom was working on one last year (haven't heard anything about it in a while), there is this "remix"... there is evidence that google themselves are working on it, but they are taking a more careful approach to it as the hardware Android runs on grows to make this feature more relevant. I sure can't see the use of it on a phone or TV, but a large tablet could benefit from it greatly, or a laptop.
For example, this commit to the Android window manager mentions multi-window: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/baf6bef001a582fea275bf891294cf1fe9d5472e
The main thing I want is the multi window. I've gone back to my gn10.1 2014 for working out b/c constantly switching b/t google music and jefit was kinda getting on my nerves. Downside is that the gn10.1 speakers suck compared to the n9. Luckily best buy has the charge 2 on sale. almost got the UE but it seemed a but to trebley for my tastes, sounded clean though.
looks good. have nexus 9 with keyboard so the Remix OS would be cool on the Nexus 9.
No android 5.1.. no good multitasking.. supported kickstartar $1.
(If you haven't known about this yet)
You can now pledge $1 and get early access to Remix OS ROM for Nexus 9.

Edit: I've also backed this up... with $1 lol
Well I'm backing this up and really looking forward to it...
This Rom is a bist, possibly doa. No customization, they have it locked down, no widgets, no app drawer and it has battery issues. Hopefully someone at xda gets a copy and can make it better than jide.

Are the battery issues possibly not ROM related, but device? Curious how this will run on the n9. (If you mean you are using the RemixOS on the actual Jide tablet that is)
I have the tablet and it's a 8500 battery. I believe it's a software issue. They have a way to go on software development to make this a daily driver.
Anyone received the ROM for nexus 9? I haven't received any.

They only said May, but right now Jide is likely occupied with fixing their Ultra Tablet. Users are having bugs, and I can't imagine the $1 tier is a priority.
