2.2 is wonderful! X10 can handle it very well!
let's e-mail to SE to express our idea!
if the x10 can be rooted, does that mean that we technically would be able to run froyo on it ? 2.2
i hope so .
Yeah, i saw some vidoes of 2.2 on youtube and i was left feeling really jealous of the nexus one people that will get it!

we willnever get it without root
look at the company that respect their customers http://www.gsmarena.com/all_the_latest_htc_android_phones_will_get_the_froyo_treatment-news-1674.php after only one day of announcement of the new android ,they announced that all their devices will get it before the end of the year ,(ofcource you all know which company iam talking about )
ok,
froyo looks good, very good.
2.1 in Q2010/4 and 2.2 in Q2011/1 for x10 makes no sense.
That means there are a some reasons why SE could stick to 2.1/Q4:
- SE plans a X10 sucessor for Q4 with froyo (including multitouch)
- google wants to have a clean froyo/hardware base, which could mean all f froyo-devices should have multitouch
- ?
- SE is cool or clever enough (like HTC) and announce 2.2/froyo for all X10 device-classes and cancels the 2.1 update

from where didi you got your info SE didnot canclled 2.1 never said any thing about 2.2

problem is, companies are not as stupid as we sometimes thinks. they just make sometimes the wrong desicions.
the x10 has no multi/dualtouch maybe the big screen & dual/multi was (last year) to expensive/not avaible.
To annouce 2.1 two weeks before google I/O is also very stupid, because everyone knows that 2.2 will come at google I/O
... so there must be a reason, maybe a reason SE knows before (e.g. google wants froyo only on multitouch devices, maybe,
look, there is no HTC Legend in the HTC - 2.2 update list) so SE had to announce 2.1 before google I/O . If this is correct we only can hope ...
Second time in my life i have to thank adobe, because flash 10.1 needs 2.2 and this could change everything.
The X10 devices (mini, etc.) and SE cannot survive beside the desire/nexus without flash ... so next week(s), we will see ...
I sincerely hope that Sony Ericsson Xperia to update to Froyo, because if do not update, Sony will be out of the game.
Consumers are not stupid. Not sell any telephone.
I will never again buy a Sony product.
The truth and we really know this already is that we will not see an official update from Sony to the xperia x10 in 2010.
We really need to face this and realize its just NOT going to happen. I am not being negative just realistic.
Our only hope is for the guys on the development side come up with a way to root the x10 and get it to run froyo. But an official update from Sony is VERY unlikely!

Yeah, I hope google isn't trying to set a baseline for 2.2+ with multitouch as a requirement.
But I do agree with this. Flash could just save us...
Oh and cmboud, we will see an update from SE this year. The problem is if it is the update we want or not
Maybe it sounds stupid but how about a petition? As long its post on multiple forums we can get lots of people, what you think?I willing to start it,just need someone to write me a good intro for it since my english is not the best as you probably have noticed.
It sounds like a good idea but I'm pretty sure it's something that they already know, of COURSE we want the latest and greatest, that's why we choose this phone most likely.
I don't belive a petition will resolve anything in our favour - if they could announce 2.2 they would - it would sell more handsets!
my .02
On a norwegian mobile site mobilen.no, stated:
HTC say they will make 2.2 available on phones that are launched this year, writes Phandroid.com.
The Sony Ericsson says the long term will make 2.2 available for its Xperia X10 models. Here we are waiting still on version 2.1.
http://mobilen.no/wip4/fullt-godbiter-android-2-2/d.epl?id=44606
How long we (X10 owners) have to wait? *Wondering*
An online petition could be a great thing if we wouldn't talk about SE. What do you think will happen? Where to send this petition?
Send it to SE vie email?
Hmmm let me think we will get an answer like "Thank you for your opinion, try to update your x10 via SEUS...blablabla"
Call the Support and inform them about the petition?
The answer would be something like "Don't believe the internet!! The X10 works fine. Try an Update via SEUS... blablabla"
What should we write into that petition? Give us 2.2?
Answer "There will be an Update to 2.1 in Q4... Thank you"
Fix the battery issues
Answer "Thank you very much for your contact, there will be an update try SEUS... blablabla"
Or better "Battery issues? Don't belive the internet!"
I think it's very poor that such a big company doen't care at all about their customers. If SE doen't come up with some ass kicking updates in the next months this was my last SE device.

After the last news that they say that in May probably there should promise to be Android 2.2 (Froyo): what do you think that it will do SonyEricsson? Will it update 2.1 (eclair) or to 2.2 (Froyo)?
I think that if it updates Eclair(2.1) it will be an error because Froyo has many progress

SE will not update to a system that is not available during the updateprocess...
who says it's unavailable? to you and me, maybe
Yes well.. It's still undergoing production and isn't done.
I bet that the update will be to 2.1: they have started the work on 1.6 and they have released the phone with 1.6 even if 2.1 was already available for months. SE will probably never update to 2.2.
i don't know...i wouldn't be so sure of it
even tho Froyo is "undergoing production" that doesn't mean that they can't be working together with google or whoever's developing it and test it on the way it's being done
if that weren't possible than that would mean that first we'd have to wait for Froyo to come out and then NO phone in general would have it for months until the phones are adjusted, that to me doesn't make sense
it's like saying windows 8 is awailable but none of you can install it on your system until we've adjusted it
if you get my point...

That already, it is logical, but SE has said that it will update 2.1 in September, that's why he was asking about it because it is supposed that in September Froyo 2.2 will have already gone out
X10 will be a constantly the 'last version' phone. We're stuck with 1.6 when 2.1 is out in the wild, and we will be stuck with 2.1 when all other phones have 2.2.

SE's comments regarding upgrades were all part of the below article: can you please tell me where in there Harold de Kort (Communications Manager at Sony Ericsson) states that the X10 will be upgraded specifically to Android 2.1, or where he mentions "September" as a release date?
Major update for Xperia X10 after Summer
In the final paragraph the writer even states specifically that SE hasn't stated which version of the Android SE will be going to with the X10:
Although Sony Ericssn has to make her own interface available for a higher version of Android, the interface will not chage a lot. Sony Ericsson herself does not make a statement on which version of Android the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 will receive in the second half of this year and therefore doesn't confirm that it will concern an Android 2.1 update.

The info you are referencing comes from a post on Engadget from late last week which was unsubstantiated rumor from a "trusted" but un-named source who was wrong on in regards to his claim that 2.1 would bring multi-touch to the X10. I wouldn't put any stock in the rest of his claims.

This is not necessarily a bad thing. This means that we will always have a stable and well known platform. If SE would apply the policy to always updated the phone to the second last version, it would be great. But my fear is that, as usual with SE, we will not get too many updates, maybe only one major update and then a minor bug fixing update. Then the phone will be "abandonware"... like the Xperia X1.

perhaps not so much a problem with the X10 - being Android based it will be easier for them to upgrade the base OS.. unless they have a complete change of direction with their own overlay... (which wouldn't surprise me!)

Come on, it was not so difficult to upgrade the X1 from Windows Mobile 6.1 to 6.5, and all the buyers would have been happy. This way, SE has just collected a lot of unhappy or angry customers. Moreover, this has been always the habit of SE: abandon the development of their phone after the release and leave the customers with bugs and issues. I really hope they've changed they strategy.

To my understanding, most WinMo 6.1 devices weren't upgraded to WinMo 6.5. My iPAQ 910c certainly wasn't.
I'm not confident that the x10 itself will receive an update at all. This is my 3rd Android device and my first SE device.
As a result of all the nonsense surrounding MT and colour support I've lost faith in SE already.
I think there xperia line will have upgraded OS's, but I don't know about the X10.
I've never had this much trouble with HTC devices (but I guess that has been down to this forum).

You are right. However, it is not a good way to keep customers. And SE has already a constantly decrease in market share, and I think that the only way to reverse that trend is to build the reputation of a very high customer satisfaction. For smarphones, this means frequent and effective software updates.
Fair enough.
I just think that if they can take so long, to release their flagship handset in first place, and taking their supposed track record into account. Should we really expect 2.1 at least anytime soon?
After taking all those extra months to get the device ready for consumers, they release a device with a substandard input method, slow camera speed and poor in call volume.
Their famed customizations also have issues. Timescape is slow and on occasion I have to press keys several times for the system to register my input (mediascape).
We should be worrying about stability and and performance updates on 1.6 before we consider 2x.
This phone has so much potential but it still seems like a prototype to me.
yea it desperately needs an update. having said that, even though its running 1.6, it DOES have the latest kernel dosent it?
i'm hoping the fact that it comes with a 2 year warranty instead of the 1 year all other phones come with is an indication that we'll get reasonable updates past a year.
also- SE was the first to acknowledge the existance of 2.2, remember? when some guy mentioned the x10 will get 2.x
A Sony Ericsson rep confirmed to me that it will be a 2.x update in Sept.
She also said that their reasoning behind 1.6 was to ensure network compatibility so it could be sold across all networks, but I'm not sure if that makes much sense.
I am pretty sure that the gyus here at XDA will do something for us if SE will not give the right version in time. I had 6.5 on X1 for more than 9 months without any SE involement

My friend work for google and the have an upgrade station. He uograde 2.2 on his nexus one. Wifi, tethering etc..
Can I send my x10 to him and upgrade to 2.2?
I'm afraid not. Unless SE release an Froyo based OS upgrade or the device gets rooted, you won't be getting 2.2 on your x10.
not before the device is rooted which is not possible till now
i think major upgrade getting 2.2 (froyo) for xperia x10
it will be released during this month so it may strongly be the next update i think
SE have confirmed 2.1... they've made no comment about 2.2... despite public pressure!!.. who knows.. they may be persuaded..

hmm...well the root bounty is at $890 and still nothing, either its impossible or not high enough
Is it possible that Sony can somehow decouple UX from the main andriod os? If they did, wouldn't it make it a lot easier to bring out the FroYo update? They said that they will continue to support the X10 so we may eventually see FroYo.
This device just doesn't seem to be as popular as the HTC's (probably due to the controversy over MT e.t.c and SE's track record). I think thats the reason we havent seen root.
SE are selling this phone with TimeScape and MediaScape and I can't see them dropping those two apps, which according to them are main selling points of this phone.
If they were to drop their two apps in favour of an updated OS we would receive faster updates I.e.2.1 and 2.2.
I personally would drop both TS and MS in favour of 2.1 and 2.2.
SE have only confirmed 2.1 in Q4. They have mentioned the 2.2 for the x10.
I'm sure they will announce the x10's successor by then.
Mediascape's pretty good, but I don't know anyone who uses Timescape...Just eats up battery.
yh media scape is great, timescape is just a waste.
+1 Looks great at the promotion videos but it's useless (for me at least).

Android 2.2 Froyo, UXP & Multitouch for Xperia X10 in Q1 2011
Real or Fake?

Oh God, I hope that's not your website, because that design is absolutely hideous, the writing is terrible, the site is over-cluttered with ads, and he doesn't even link to the original tweet.
Also: Look at the actual twitter account.
First hint it's fake? The writing is grammatically poor.
Second (more obvious hint it's fake): "Twitter for Blackberry", because he wouldn't use his own products on Android or Symbian
Third hint: It's not a Verified Account
Fourth hint: All the people he's following are Indonesian. Do you think the CEO of a Global Company would only follow a bunch of people from Indonesia?
Anyway, it looks like some ****stirrer trying to stir up some ****. Sigh.
Yeah fake and the website sucks too. My browser stuck
Now that's what I like to call a Suckathon.
Umm there actually is a multitouch update coming out in Q1 2011... that part was not fake.
That twitter account already disappeared so yeah, fake.
And leave Manish's site alone
i can live with single touch... anyway, i'm have been using my x10 single handedly...
I have heard the same thing from a friend that work at SE in Sweden actualy, but it´s still just a rumor. She can not tell me exactly what it is because she knows that i hang around forums like this and she do not trust me that i wont tell. I have also heard that it is a chance that android 2.3 will be on x10 in the beginning of next year. But it is just rumor, SE is good to keep there secrets.

Did they deny what's coming in the update though? Would really like just 2.2 on x10...
Multi-touch is real and there is another update coming out in Q1 2011... though it isn't 2.2. It's just an expansion to the current 2.1. will probably change our firmware version from 2.1 Update-1 to 2.1 Update-2 or something.

That's how it works for them, not necessarily for the rest of the industry.
There are phones with worse hardware than the Xperia series which have been given Android 2.2 updates.

Its not everything bad.
We can get all that have 2.2 by root phone and we will get multytouch actually we already get it.
They uploaded firmware with multytouch.

please support us,for new fw updates for the X8 and X10 family
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=904941
I am for.
What I find most annoying is that SE seems to have forgotten they made the x8 entirely.
I'm not even sure if the x8 is considered "part of the x10 family" or not. I can make semi-informed guesses, but there's no official word to clarify this.
thats bad....
Sony mentioned the x10, mini and mini pro and forgot to mention the X8..??
either they r gonna bring froyo to X8 (which i m think is never gonna happen) or they dont think X8 is important enough to mention..!!
I had tweeted SEAnswers about the Xperia X8 and this is what they had to say, I quote "There may be updates to software, however we will not be upgrading past 2.1 OS".Check the Discussions on their Facebook page, no further updates to the Android version.
So... since the x8 was originally intended to launch with 2.1, this pretty much makes the life-span of this particular device... Dead on Arrival.
It's a fine device, but the policy that comes with it is just utter rubbish.
There's a new post by Rikard on the blog.
http://blogs.sonyericsson.com/products/2011/02/01/next-update-for-the-xperia-x10-and-x8-family
All that is mentioned for the x8 is:
"the mini products and the Xperia X8 we
also have enabled the ANT+ support in the
chipset. "
and thats it.
No dual touch, new Timescape, no changes to 4 corner UI, so called uxp update is a sham.
SE is crazy. No 2.2, ok we cried but we stayed mum. But going back on a promise of providing a decent update is pretty sad.
How can they not post DT for X8. I dont care about the stupid timescape, or the stupid launcher. All I want is DT (and most of the users here).

u are quietly right!!!!but froyo still needed...
i used US firmware, and check with SEUS and PC com, there's no update available.
Anyone has new update? and can you share your SI number? hope that new update is not china firmware, cause it makes my phone slower than US firmware
In case we will receive this update, am i right assuming it will delete anything on the phone?
So we have to reinstall all our apps, adjust settings again and so on?
Come on guys, SE never promised dualtouch for the X8! We don't even know if it's possible. I think we have no right to cry about this, as we bought our phone knowing there would be no multitouch.
Dammit guys! Why are you complaining? They'll enable ANT+!!! Don't you know how useful is it? It'll save many lives, and since we all have ANT+ monitoring devices, DT should be our least concern...
xD, yeah right... I really really don't see any purpose of ANT+, can't they at least give us DT?
All I can say right now is: SE, you haven't said a word about 2.2 on Xperia, while developers got 2.3 working on X10 and racht is in progress of making it work on our X8-s (I hope)...
Google construct the Android OS and SE is 2 lazy to customize it
SE u disappointed us all
The X8 update will start rolling out one week after the x10, so arnd 2-3 days more and we can expect it to begin, not that it'll add much but I want to see if they have made any improvements to the UI.

As I bought x8, i read that it has ANDROID os AND when i bought it, x8 was new on the market. The most popular os in the world must be upgraded and it must have MT,Flash and app2sd.
Really, really dissapointed about this phone, seems to me that the next phone I buy will deffo not be a SE ( and I'm loyal to SE since my first mobile phone back in 1998 )
Way to screw users by not offering decent updates.

agreed..
i m not updating my phone until SE brings MT or froyo to the X8 (which is never)
this is seriously my last SE phone
Stop hoping for nothing, the X8 will never get froyo or MT oficially... the only solution will be to get a working froyo rom for the x8 and that will be it. Sony screwed me one time with the X8, but it will be the last time i buy a SE phone.
still not available in Croatia...
I just want to say"SE u disappointed us all"
