2.1 delayed AGAIN!!

Its pathetic to us.....but to him its funny because he is an idiot....he is cleary trying to stir the pot and start a rumor for engadget or someone else to pick up on and piss everyone off. Rikard will probably clear this up Monday...I don't even believe he posts in that blog anymore because of the abuse and vulgar language and I don't blame him. All his posts are in his newest blogs now. I've been following him closely....does that make me a stalker? Lol

lol I wouldn't quite say you were a stalker, just trying to keep updated :D

I'm wondering if a few people got fooled by the fly :D

Rikard does confirm it is fake : see his comment with GREEN username

Update on Updates | Product Launch Blog

Even though... that one doesn't look genuine either. Because it points to dogcrap.com when you click the name lol. It does seem like the green name is only because you specified a website with the details of your comment. It does look like you can use any username you want. So definately fake.

None of those posts are still even Rikard....he hasn't added any comments since this morning...and his comments are only on his new blog. How do I know this? Simple...his post count still remains at 753.
Guys, if you wanna know if Rikard is REALLY making posts and where just look at his post count. It's 753 now and probably will remain there until monday. Even Rikard needs a weekend to take a break from the blog and work...and be with his family.

Oh the joys!!!

at least there saying that the phone is capable of MT...but not by them (prob dont know how to tbh)!!

In all honesty....do sony REALLY KNOW WHAT THERE DOING??

1st it can do MT, then it cant, then it can, then it dont have MT capabilities now there saying it CAN do MT...but not by them???

no plans for FROYO because of hardware/ software compatibility...Did they not say that about MT??

Another nail in the coffin....not that i have much room for any!

Fake or Not, I still believe SE is going to leave us to fend for ourselves... I guess we will know for sure at the end of this month.. Time will tell ALL.............

I hate to say this, But I called this one from the JUMP! I Knew this was going to happen, and folks, it is not going to get better, because they will be pushing all of their team efforts to the X12.. The X10, will go down in the history books as the one that got ignored and left to fend for itself!

Omg...wow! Do you just read what the op wrote and none of the comments after? Its clearly been stated in this thread that the ops info is FALSE! The post on SE blog was NOT by anyone from SE..yet it was another shit disturbor stirring up trouble.

*edit* mods please close this thread...its very misleading info and is only going to flaming wars. The info from the op is false....this thread is useless to us X10 users.

Why dont people just wait and see. It comes out next week so just wait.
Dont get me wrong I cant wait for 2.1 but doing all this is just a waste of time. Plug your handset into your computer on Wednesday to Sunday. If it updates all is good if it doesnt see if anyone else has it.
Im on Orange and I dont expect to get it till at least November/December time anyway.

I don't wanna argue with you or anyone else in this forum....fact of the matter is if its junk you shouldn't have bought it....if your locked in a contract....sell or trade it and get on with your android enjoyment.

already have the wheeks in motion,,,
but this thing to the mass majority is junk...
and my mission is to spread the word on how bad it is , so the size of the disappointed masses doesnt increase,, sorry SE fanboys,,,

reason i ask is apparently the wheels have been in motion for bout 2 weeks now with no new phone

and a change of mind on handset i believe

most i've ever waited for phone to be delivered is 48 hours

just that your carrier had agreed

hope its with you soon - assume ya gonna update ya X10 for comparison when it comes available

your battery issue is a mystery but 2.1 should bring 30% increase

(for purposes here my phone is 3g preferred, no wifi use, tweetcaster (10 min update), stock email (30 min update) - handcent SMS - weather (1 hour update)

no task killers - battery guage is BATTERYLIFE
http://www.appbrain.com/app/batterylife/com.curvefish.batterylife

friday i unplugged my phone at 10am

12:15pm i started a 3 hour train journey (which goes through nowhere so lots of network searching) during which i loaded KINGMAKER and GPS at every station (10) on the route for A FEW MINUTES (for FABLE 3 xbox lol) and also 1.5 hours music (through sennheiser headphones)

of the twitter updates some required internet connection to view (twitpic & twitvid)

at 3:20 jumped into the car, email, tweets and messaging used for about 20/30 minutes (was arranging a meet up with mates)

4:30 - 10:30 we were going through my phone, showing off the new font etc etc as none of my m8s have rooted their phones, some had no internet access (hence my post http://androidforums.com/sony-ericsson-xperia-x10/204360-help-seriously-needed-asap.html for help on friday) so was accessing this forum and also showing BBC iPlayer and ITV/CH5 streaming in action (UK TV) - used market to download 3 or 4 apps too

then from 10:30 onwards again nominal use, odd text, reading tweets and emails yet when i went to bed about 1am battery was still on 38%

so 21 hours unplugged, heavy-ish use on update front at 10 minutes, yet on the % scale still had about another 10 hours left

so as you can see this is why your battery stumps me

makes me wonder if ROGERS has added power hungry stuff to the phone or if the network requires more juice from the phone in first place

no idea,, but yesterday,, i couldnt get through a 8hr shift,, and today it just made it,,,
emails,texting and calculator use,,, no phone use,, no surfing,, connection is all 3g

I assume when you say 3g only the system is set to WCDMA ONLY in the menu?

If yes i would suggest changing it to GSM/WCDMA PREFERRED as uses much less power on a signal drop

Maybe posting the screens in these 2 menus would offer some suggestions
SETTINGS > ABOUT PHONE > STATUS
SETTINGS > ABOUT PHONE > BATTERY USE

Only a thought.

that is exact setting I use

There is definitely something wrong man....I'm a heavy user...especially browsing. My brightness is just under half and I'm set to GSM only. I easily get a day or more which is acceptable since i use my phone so much. I'm getting the same battery life as i did with my nexus one. I'm unbranded but on rogers as well and running 020 FW.

What? Something must be draining the battery.

I have wifi and GPS turned on 24/7, I have brightness on 100% all the time, I use the browser ALOT, make alot of calls and send alot of texts. Also, I have alot of apps running in the background, such as MyLookout, facebook, a twitter app, emails, etc, yet my phone lasts me from early morning, and still has at least 15-20% left when I put it on charge late at night
