Hi All,
I appreciate all hard work developers are putting on X10 but as a newbie just has this question.
Just want to know why developers still can;t get Android 2.1 on X10?
Is it that it's difficult to develop compared to N1 or HTC desire?
Because on N1 or Desire there's so much developmenent going at the moment and on X10 it's not that much.
Thank you.
Because Desire is fully rooted and custom bootloader can be flashed. Not on XPERIA at the moment.

Is there any chance we can see 2.1 soon on Xperia X10?
As I've got Nexus one but X10 looks so sexy and I want to buy it but Android 1.6 is only drawback at the moment.
If you want a Nexus, buy a nexus,
If you want a X10, buy a X10, keeping in mind that the 2.1 official update will come out somewhere beetween now and september and that an inoficial Update might happen or also not

Have a look at the end of the rooting and custom rom development thread.
SE has pretty much overpatched the drawbacks with 1.6 compared to 2.1 the only real change when X10 gets 2.1 will be speed and some 2.1 dependant apps.

While I was browsing, I found this!!!
http://www.slashgear.com/sony-ericsson-confirm-no-froyo-for-xperia-x10-06123921/

We all know that. It`s confirmed after the announce of the Xperia Arc

SE don't want to update their current android phones because of marketing.
people will have to buy xperia arc to get android 2.3. good for their bussiness. this is how it's work.

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.
IOTW, they **** on their current customers and profit on them. Nothing else.
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).
$$%$%$%!%$%$%$%
same with me

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.
One "improvement" they surelly done is patch up the root exploit, so I would say not to update...

As you bought the X8, did you read something about multitouch or Froyo 2.2? No. Point.

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.
we want froyo in our x8 becuz this is our law. se must unlock the boot loader.

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"
hello,just check this out.new update for x8,maybe its not froyo or gingerbread but anything new is welcome
http://www.ptcrb.com/ctiastaff/complete/view_complete_request.cfm?modelid=17877
Wtf, more updates for what, maybe block root.
They should put aome sync support so we can sync libs from custom roms we will got better perfomance

For XperiaTM X10 mini, mini pro and X8 there are as communicated earlier no plans to update beyond the current Éclair version. There are two mains reasons for this: The XperiaTM X10 mini, X10 mini pro and X8 all have less RAM memory than XperiaTM X10. By this we can’t guarantee a good user experience by upgrading beyond Android 2.1. The upgrade of XperiaTM X10 also was made possible due to that we had a code base that mostly could be reused. For the mini’s, who have a different user interface, this possibility did not exist.

Max RAM i got with gingerbread is 90 MB and with froyo 111 MB,they skiped froyo,all their devices will run gingerbread so they dont want three devices run froyo,very simple.
But they want their devices to run Eclair? Yeah, hell lot of logic included...

Hey guys,
I just checked my girlfriend's X8 has this latest software update available (start of July 2011). I think it's now the 3rd update or so, the first being Android 2.1, the second something with Nike-Chip and the ability to cut videos and an office suite.
But somehow I can't find details on what this current 3rd update does (though it's a pretty popular phone?)
Has anybody checked it out already? SE's Backup-And-Restore-App always screws up the contacts and calendar entries, so I would like to know if it's worth the pain.
Edit: Oh and it's a branding-and-simlock-free X8 from Amazon ;-)
SE is full of bull****! They won't update our devices to Android 2.2 because they don't want! I'm using the Froyobread rom and i have 94MB of ram free. If they don't know how to work on their own phones, simply deliver the development to jerpelea, racht, doixanh or anyone able enough!

But people like racht and doixanh show us what a lovely phone we have
Guys look at this!
Recently Android 2.4 firmware, also known as Ice Cream Sandwich got a release date of October-November, 2011. Later Sony Ericsson’s spokesperson has confirmed that all their Xperia Android phones will be getting the free upgrade when ICS becomes available. Phones that will be getting the Android ICS upgrades are Xperia X10, Xperia X8, Xperia Play and all other recently released Xperia phones.
We will update this post once more information about Android 2.4 for Xperia phones becomes available.
Extracted from: http://androidistic.com/520/android-2-4-update-for-all-se-xperia-phones-android-ics/
Looking forward for this update... If it will hapen... i'll say "am sorry" to SE
Update:
Please wait while we find an agent to assist you...
You are currently in position number 1 in the queue.
You have now been connected to an agent.
Thorleif: Hi x8 android 2.4 ?! Welcome to Sony Ericsson Contact Center, my name is Thorleif. Unfortunately we are unable to give support in your native language for the time being. May I help you in English?
x8 android 2.4 ?: yes
x8 android 2.4 ?: is it true: http://androidistic.com/520/android-2-4-update-for-all-se-xperia-phones-android-ics/
x8 android 2.4 ?: will x8 get 2,4 android update?
Thorleif: We won't update Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 beyond Android 2.1.
x8 android 2.4 ?: so the article is lie
x8 android 2.4 ?: right?
Thorleif: Yes
x8 android 2.4 ?: thanks for your answers...
epic.....SE sucks
They mentioned that only the 2011 Xperia phones will get ICS:
http://www.androidauthority.com/sony-ericsson-xperia-smartphones-could-taste-android-2-44-0-ice-cream-sandwich-24296/
X8 will have ICS but probably made by dx or other Xda dev's.Because it will be an open source in conclusion :
[email protected] official SE.
oh damn! well we dont have to worry we have a lot of developers here that are dedicated to giving us and themselves what our phones deserve! Im sure we will get ICS on our beloved X8s!
Ofcourse this is a lie... ICS will be 4.0 ... how can Honeycomb downgrade from 3.x to 2.4 ..lol
ICS will be both for phone and tablets and we will probobly get this update via xda's custom roms not sony!
That is true. As it has been said earlier SE will upgrade only 2011 Xperias, plague for them.
people who create websites like this are so stupid....
even though these thread makes no seense for all of you hwo are reading it:
xperia phone are going to be updated by SE,xperia walkman is one of them so i see no problem of taking source from it and a lil"bit modifing
alredy there is a ROM which is in really early stage but you can see taht it is posibble,
the update od se will be in 4-5month of 2012
marry christmas and happy new year
the article your read was unfortunatly wrong, x8 will not get ics update, as it is only 2011 devices that will recive it. the x8 is 2010 device and as people are calling it, obsolete now. i still have 12 months till my phone contract finishes so i wont be getting a new one till late 2012 maybe even 2013,( but by then new android will be released )
ICS means 25/175 MB Free RAM on X8. And with this free ram what can we do? nothing..
It means our "multitasking android" will become a simple "NOKIA S40" phone that mean for opening an application we have to close another one due to less free memory for running another app.
Even Android 2.2 on X8 has much better multitasking than Android 2.3.
I think Developers should first fix Android 2.2 and 2.3 because everyone here except some members want the real smartphone of daily life NOT A SHOWPIECE

No man there are bugs still in 2.2 like
1. A/V sync.
2. Auto brightness (like stock ROM)
3.DSP manager.
and many other ignorable bugs but you can not ignore above three bugs.
I have tried GB roms for 3 months I found no problem like these but problem is of more multitasking. So i switched back to FROYO roms. And MODED them according to my needs. But dsp still in bug and most of us want this.
You know why SE refused to give further updates for X8 because they prefer multitasking.
As Eclair Rom on X8 has 110/175 MB free RAM
and Froyo Rom has 80-90 MB free RAM
Gingerbread has 40-65 MB free ram
And finally your ICS has 20-30 MB free ram which is in initial stage.

If you will make a thread we will be highly thankful to you.

See the screenshot.
Ok, did everyone noticed that sony ericsson will be no longer sony ericsson? The SE will become SONY as well in the 2012.
Why SE refused to give x8 update? It maybe from ERICSSON side refuse to cooperation With SONY, then SONY throw ERICSSON name from the SONY ERICSSON. And maybe SONY will change his mind, to give update on X8.
You Know, ericsson was bought by SONY, and now SONY throw ERICSSON away.
