I'm looking to debrand my x10, to receive the 2.1 update quicker (when SE release it) , Rather than wait for vodafone to release it. My phone is currently vodafone branded. Ive been looking on this site: Debrand your Xperia X10 [Tutorial] | Xperia X10 Blog.

That's the question folks. I'm in South America, and I bought my X10 Mini in a sales opportunity for a low price but branded for one company.I want to debrand it, but i want to know if in the future, when the 2.1 Android Patch is released... will i have any trouble? Or maybe it's probable I lose the debranding?

i successfully debranded my rogers x10a to a generic x10a firmware. but for some reason i cant seem to update it to R1FA016. both ota and sony update software keeps telling me that my phone has the latest software. i was wondering if any1 faced similar issues and if there is a solution to this problem.
i have the latest version of SEUS and PC Companion
I was thinking about debranding so I can get the update as soon as it's released.So I was wondering if some of you would be so kind as to answer some questions for me.First of all, does anybody have a link for an X10i debrand guide:
What are the advantages of debranding
what are the disadvantages of debranding
Are there any known problems after debranding
Can it be undone?
I am on T-Mobile UK and don't want to wait till the end of November to update as I want HD video recording before my baby is born.
I'm thinking of debranding my vodafone branded x10i. I brought my x10 second hand. It was originally vodafone, But it looks like the previous owner had it Sim unlocked. Which m now using o2 Sim in it. What i would like to know is that, if i debrand it. Will the phone wont re-lock?

View 15 Replies View RelatedI have alot (and I mean ALOT) of apps on my Xperia, so I get around 5 app updates a day, which is now starting to agitate me because most of them are the same apps everyday needing updates.
Today I heard about an update for the market that includes an auto update feature for installed apps. But I, like many others, do not see this option on the market.
Does anyone have any idea how to get it? or if I can't get it, when can I?
i found out that the update to 2.1 is here on three uk now when i try to update my phone using pc companion or SEUS it freezes my computer. i get to the point were i turn the phone off and turn it back on holding the back button but nothing happens and my computer just freezes up any help with this one? i am on sony ericsson x10
View 6 Replies View RelatedAnd don't tell us something about "secrets" SE has, 2.2 is out for weeks, every other comparable android phone has it. So not saying anytinh about 2.2 means the X10 won't get it and is dumped after the 2.1 update. SE I will never waste again 500â

As you've probably guessed this is regarding not having the G mail account details to unlock my phone. I have looked through the threads on this site (amongst countless others) and nothing has been overly helpful so I figured I'd just ask Basically, I have locked myself out of my phone and can't remember the G mail details required to unlock it. Most people keep replying with "Do a software update using PC Companion" but this doesn't make sense to me as you need to have your phone unlocked to be able to connect your phone to it so that doesn't work (unless there is something painstakingly obvious that I'm overlooking?) I've done the obvious things; taking out the battery, taking out the SIM, trying every single email/password combination I've ever used but nothing is working.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI got my phone about two months ago, for the past few weeks I have been having problems with the microphone. When I call people sometimes every things fine, other times I need to hang up and call again because they cant hear me. Sometimes I need to call 3 or 4 times until they can hear me. I took it back to the shop where I got it and they thought it might be a software problem. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Also I have tried updating the software on my laptop and it doesn't seem to be working.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI just purchased my new X10 .
My question : do i need to root my X10 , in order to update to 2.1 ?
Or just can i plug my usb cable and follow instructions to update to 2.1 ?
(i mean instructions in the video by SE)
So I connect my phone to my PC to transfer the Angrybirds apk over. Then it says updates available. Foolishly, I take the update, follow all the instructions and now - it seems I've lost everything.
No contacts, no apps, no history, no ADW launcher with all the lovely themes and widgets and all the set-up I spent ages doing,...
What's going on? Have I lost it. Nothing much recovered when I tried to restore a back-up. Need to google register everything again.
I can see folders for apps that I had in the PC companion; but I can't seem to recover anything.
This phone has been nothing but trouble since day 1. :@
I have now managed to update my phone. I hadn't realised at first that I had touse the update service software, rather than going through the phone or PC Companion. Still on Android 1.6, of course, but now have baseband version 1.1.25 and kernel version 2.6.29.
At first glance, the phone doesn't seem to have changed as lot. My contacts and applications are all as they were, as far as i can tell. The only change I have seen is that I can now use a different theme for Timescape from the rest of the phone. I use the normal black background for most things, but I can use light blue, dark blue, orange, green or pink in Timescape now. I don't think I had a choice before.
Has anyone else who has been able to update noticed anythign else...?
Myself, started with backup and restore, backup was completed and also backed up my contacts to flash just in case. Hooked phone to PC companion and was informed an update was available. Followed through the update process and when the phone was disconnected and powered on as instructed I was still left with 1.6. Now when I connect to PC companion I am informed software is up to date with 1.6.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI installed android 2.1 today but for some reason I can't restore my contacts.I followed the instructions on the sony ericsson webpage and used the SE backup software to make a backup of my contacts, mms, photos etc. When I restored everything after the update everything was restored except my contacts. How can I get my contacts back? Is there some way to extract them manually from the backup file or something? The backup software can't seem to restore them for me.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am with Xperia X10 and I know that there has to be an update! At least when I connect the phone to the laptop, that's what my PC Companion is telling me. But I can't go past the plug the cable and hold the back button. I tried both the companion and the update service but I can't go past the plug in and press back buttons. If I hold it for a longer period of time, the phone just turns back on!

View 49 Replies View RelatedAnyone else not able to update or download anything from the market? been like this for a day or so now. I know last time i deleted the cache or something and it worked again.
View 1 Replies View RelatedGot a ping last night to say that there was an update available (yay!). Went through Sony Update Service and it downloaded 154MB of update and then applied it. On restart the only difference I could see was that there was a new app - Creatouch - and what appears to be a library file (com.sonyericsson...) in my app list. So two questions:
1. How come that Creatouch - which app management claims is less than 4.5MB - needs a 154MB download? What else was in that update (there's no release notes I can find for it - which would have been useful)?
2. Is there anyone in SE that I can send feedback to (Jeff/KrazyD - maybe this is question for you?). Obviously something's not right in the update if it's putting a library file into the applist where users might try and run it. I did try that (being nosy) and got an alert dialogue "The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again" (which I've not done)
I thought this might be the long-awaited 2.1 update - but post install my phone's still at 1.6 (build R2BA020).Still maybe this is preparation for 2.1 and at least this update came direct from SE, rather than having to wait for my teleco to look at it.
As the title says my phone will no longer download from the market or update anything its weird as it was working OK last week ( don't use it to down load much) but now all I get is update or download unsuccessful please try again. Been trying this in different place so I don't think its the signal.
