Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 :: Died After Attempted Software Update Will Not Turn Back On?

Oct 14, 2010

I connected my X10 to my computer two days ago and was prompted to perform a software update which I chose to do believing it would get rid of some ongoing issues I've been having with the phone

The computer found the phone ok, then PC companion prompted me to disconnect the phone from the USB cable, making sure the battery was at least 50% full (it was), switch off the phone and wait at least 5 seconds (waited 30), then plug it back into the USB while pressing and holding the "Back" key.

All of this I did according to instructions, and the information on the screen said it was downloading the update, but broke down and stated that an unexpected error occured during installation. I was prompted to try again, which I did, same thing happened.

At this point the phone just shut down and point blank refuses to turn back on. I tried removing the battery and putting it back in, nothing, I also tried to charge it thinking maybe it was drained during the attempted update (power surge?) and again, nothing.

When I try to switch it back on while it is not connected to a charger or the computer the light flashes red three times. When I connect it to the computer it turns green for a few seconds then goes off again. Currently it's flashing red every few seconds, but will still not switch on.

My biggest problem is - if I take it in to be serviced, will they be able to retrieve my contacts from the phone memory? A backup was done but I no longer have access to this either as I had to reinstall my computer system and this data disappeared (i have a bunch of empty SE folders on my backup disk)

I'm in Croatia and support here are very, very fond of flashing the software as the easiest way out and swearing blind there is nothing they can do to keep the data - if nothing else I'd appreciate feedback from anyone else who has experienced this problem and got their phone back with contacts intact so I can argue more coherently when I take it in to the store tomorrow

I honestly don't care about any of the other data than my contacts, the rest is replaceable, but I have no way of contacting a lot of the people to get their numbers again.

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 :: Bluetooth Stops Working - Doesnt Turn Back On?

Sep 21, 2010

Ive been a X10 user for a few months now... I havent had any issues with this phone up until now when I decided to use bluetooth. Everytime I use bluetooth, it works for a small period of time and then hangs itself... It simply disconnects and refuses to pair again... This happens with my stereo headset and also with the Wiimote I use for playing games on the phone... At first I thougnt this might be an issue with the headset (which didnt have the best reception, choppy audio and bad quality, specially for an official SE headset) but I really noticed the issue after I started using my Wii remote to play games on the phone since I know the remote works flawlessly on the Wii itself... The problem is that it stops working, refuses to pair again and when I turn off Bluetooth, it doesnt turn on again, no matter how long I try, forcing me to restart the phone... Only to work again after rebooting and hanging again after some use...

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 ::back Up Before Software Update

Aug 6, 2010

Im about to do my first update and i really dont have a clue what im doing !! i downloaded the free MY back up yesterday .. saved apps and data to the sd card and started the download through the phone in the software update section in 'about phone' ...neway i ran out of time before i went to work and cancelled the update as it was taking AGES !

So i today , i go to resume the update , but check first that all my data is still in my back up ... and surprise surprise my 30 day free trial has ran out after less than 24 hrs ! ... thank god i checked !

Anyway ... what i really want to know is ... A) is it worth the updates .. any real benefit ? (bearing in mind im not very technically minded , clearly!)

B) If it is .. then what is the best, trusty free file manager ... that will store my apps , contacts , settings etc ... basically everything!

C) Should i do it through the website, via my laptop and usb rather than through the phone ?

heres my stats ...not that i have a clue what they mean....baseband 1.0.14, kernel 2.6.29-rel, build number R1FA014. i gather that these updates alter the build number?

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 :: Coming Update - No Back-porting From Froyo

Oct 23, 2010

Since this is from the product blog, I guess it is fair accurate.

1. No app-to-SD function

2. No flash (not even flash-lite)

3. Apparently no live wallpaper from Sony (does that mean we won't get Live Wallpaper at all?)

pparently the update will be PC based only.

Well... good news is SE apparently has realized they should not have dug too deep into the Android core, but just layer them over. It took them over 9 months to realize this? What will this signify for us, X10 owners? Is that their way of telling us, give up on X10, and get their next Android product?

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 :: Android 2.1 Update Wiped My Apps - Can Get Them Back

Nov 20, 2010

Upon downloading the new software update I have lost all of my android market aps.

I have been reading of similar problems in other threads but mine is different so I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions

Heres what happened

I followed the backup instructions perfectly (INFO: The backup and restore i have on my phone wasnt on the phone originally, it was added by the sony ericsson Computer software about 2 weeks ago so i assume this is the most recent version)

I then downloaded the update. I turnt the phone back on, and logged into my google account as it instructed, and performed the restore.

My apps were not there. My contacts also didn't return.

Now, if this is because my backup and restore was the wrong version, is there nothing i can do? Please dont say my only option is remembering all my aps and downloading them again. What about the ones that were paid for?

Sony Ericsson Xperia :: X10 Bluetooth Won't Turn On / Get It To Run?

Aug 21, 2010

I can't get bluetooth to run on my X10. I don't usually use it but today I wanted to. Everything else I have set to off to save battery life. I only use 3G for Internet use which I cannot do without.

My phone says it is up to date. I am sure there are a quadrillion updates or fixes users of X10 want. I have to say though, this is actually my first and only problem with X10.

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 :: Can Not Back Up / Way To Do

Nov 13, 2010

I am in the process of upgrading my Xperia x10 to Android 2.1. I followed the instructions to update to the latest version of Backup and Restore using the

application on m.sonyericsson.com/backup, and it installed properly.

However, when I create a new restore point, and proceed to actually backing up my phone, it runs a few seconds backing up contacts and then

switches to a screen that tells me "Could not back up".

I've tried restarting the phone. Any suggestions? My backups from before the update this morning have vanished as well.

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 :: Way To Turn On Photo Light

Nov 22, 2010

Does anyone know if there is a way to turn on the photo light from the still camera screen with out having to go through the advanced settings. This is a huge pain when you are taking a photo and have to go through several steps to turn on a light that should have been an automatic flash to begin with or at least have a quick toggle button on the same camera screen. This is nuts not to have this at an instant when it is so important to have to take some pictures. Someone please help or tell me if this is fixed in the new 2.1 (I cannot tell since I live in the USA and we are getting the shaft on the new update--everyone else is getting it before us and no one will say when we are getting it)

I got my new AT&T Xperia X10 last week. For the first couple of days, all seemed well. On Saturday, I lost effective wi-fi. In settings is indicates that I am connected to my witeless access point, but when I try to access the internet, I am told that there is no connection.

This cycle repeats itself continuously as lonk as I hit the OK button.
