A Standby time specification is an industry standard. The only intention is to allow comparison of different mobile phones under the same circumstances. Factors including - but not limited to - network, settings, location, movement, signal strength and cell traffic strongly effect standby power consumption. Standby time specifications of different mobile phones can therefore be compared only in a controlled laboratory environment. When any mobile phone is used in real life - i.e., under circumstances for which the mobile phone is intended - the actual standby time could be considerably lower and will be strongly dependent on the factors mentioned above.

Official: Dual-touch Xperia X10 update hits Japan on 19 Jan
Just yesterday we saw a video demonstrating the new pinch-to-zoom update for the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10. Well now Sony Ericsson Japan has officially notified users that this update will hit NTT DoCoMo on 19th January through PC Companion and 20th January OTA.
They have also confirmed that the new dual-touch features will work in the browser, Google Maps Navigation, Office Suite and Moxier. SE can’t confirm that it will work in all third-party apps. Hopefully, this news means that the update should also start hitting other regions imminently. Watch this space.

x10 flash tool
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
Hi,
I will take the lead on releases of this tool as Bin4ry will have less time to work on it.
FlashTool now is something like an all in one Tool for your phone.
It can:
- Flash original Images (Android 1.6 & Android 2.1 Images)
- Root your phone (Only if the phone is on a 2.1 android version)
- Install xRecovery, Busybox
- Clean your Rom (remove /system/apps apps of your choice) (Be careful, unless you really know what you do, do not modify the default list. This can make your phone stuck at the SE Logo)
- Clear dalvik cache
- Optimize (install of JIT v2)
- Customize (installs apps found in the custom/apps folder of the flashtool)
- Clean uninstalled (remove any references to system apps removed in the Clean (root needed) step)
- Edit /system/build.prop
Download FlashTool version 0.2.6 :

You don't know how to find hash values of files you download ? Go here : http://implbits.com/Products/HashTab.aspx
You can visit this HOW-TO (thanks to rendeiro2005) about using the flashtool
To support Flashtool, please click the button in the app. We will split the money 50/50
Changelog:
0.2.6:
[Upd] Flashing 1.6 firmwares could lead to a FC with Timescape. 1.6 bundles must have the preset.ta file if this one exists. otherwise the flash will be uncomplete.
[Upd] Updated the "turn to flashmode" wait box. (thanks to rendeiro2005 for the animated gif)
[Upd] Updated to xRecovery 0.3
[Upd] Decryption now opens the bundle creation when complete.
[Bug] Correction of a bug under certain scenario with ROM cleaner (when switching firmware version)
0.2.5:
[Bug] Root not working properly (regression from 0.2.3 to 0.2.4). Fixed.
[New Feature] Added a basic build.prop editor.
0.2.4:
[Bug] Clean (root needed) task bug resolved. A new button "Ask Root Perms" has been added to be sure the flashtool has root accesses. All task which need root access are disabled while this Ask Root task is not complete.
[New Feature] Firmwares have to come bundled in one file named with a ftf extension (ftf for Flash Tool Firmware). A Create Bundle feature has been added to the tool to create your own firmware bundles. (So no need to Redownload a firmware you already have. Just bundle it). This way it will be easier to package / distribute / integrate firmwares as they come out.
0.2.3:
[Bug] SEUS decrypt fixed
[New Feature] Wipe Userdata is set to default YES
HOWTO:
Flashing (from version 0.2.4) :
Add ftf firmwares files in the firmwares folder
Click the flash button, choose your firmware and wait for the tool to ask about turning the phone to flashmode. Then do it and click OK
Flashing will begin ...
What's next :
Features I think about adding after 0.2.5 :
- A xRecovery rom manager (Bin4ry)
- A Filemanager
- A plugin system so that anybody with java skills will be able to extend features.
Any other ideas are welcome.
IMPORTANT:
- You should always wipe userdata if you switch between Android versions (1.6 <-> 2.1). If not your phone will keep restarting all the time. This is the same for some providerbrandings even if you flash between same Android versions. So if you have this restarting problem, flash again with Wipe Userdata. If you don't want to loose your apps you have to backup them with Titanium or some other backup tool!

what is root

QUOTE(zerophrame;6508926)
GENERAL INFO:
For those that are unaware, "Rooting essentially gives you total control over the OS. You can add/remove programs/files from the device that are locked, flash custom roms, recovery images, themes, backup installed apps and lots of other things.
FAQ:
What is ROOT?:
Rooting essentially gives you total control over the OS. You can add/remove programs/files from the device that are locked, flash custom roms, recovery images, themes, backup installed apps and lots of other things. (As Stated Above)
How do we get ROOT for the X10?:
There are alot of developers working on cracking the X10; Sony put a lot of work into locking the X10 down.
There are many ways to root your X10 now, and including several one-touch apps that will root for you.
Does ROOTING unlock my X10?:
No it does not.
I have an X10a (or X10i), can I use the X10i (X10a) method to ROOT?
Short Answer is no; the files are different. Don't be so lazy and follow instructions.
The ROOT didn't work, what can I do?
Here's the thing, if it's bricked/non-working...search the forums, chances are there's someone out there that has done what you've done and the issue may already be solved. ONLY POST A NEW TOPIC IF THERE IS ZERO INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR SITUATION.
Can I put newer versions of Android on my X10 after ROOT?
You sure can, but unless you know how to cook the rom yourself...you'll just have to wait like the rest of us. Keep your eyes peeled and wait for the good stuff to start popping up.

What this does
It is an app you install (currently you must side load it, but it will be on the market once it's had some testing here on XDA), that has a single button that will root your device. Should work on ALL Android devices -- please leave a note if it works or doesn't work on your device.
How safe is this?
Should be 100% safe - nothing on disk is changed besides the root binaries, so if something goes wrong, simply rebooting the device should fix up any and all issues. Let me know if you find any bugs!

QUOTE(somebloke;8936089)
ROOT achieved for 2.1 FW.
Sometimes the first method isn't always the best:
*edit*
A new app has appeared on the market called "z4root". This seems to root in one click.
Details are here.
Install this from the Market, press Root and you're away.
Old Methodm should it still be required:
This requires you to have 2.1 already (either Nordic, or other generic, or using Bin4ry's flashtool version here.
instructions and files as below.
Download the SuperOneClick (files attached) or original post here
Updated Superoneclick version 1.5.4
v1.5.4
Fixed superuser install issue
Added a prompt to tell you to allow superuser on your phone, for the test.
Fixed unroot.
It can take a while to ROOT - looks as though it is stuck in a loop. I thought it wasnt working but waited about 10mins and it worked.
If you wait longer and it still doesn't work, try untick/retick USB debug while it's running
Hey Presto - ROOT !
Remember you will probably want Busybox too - click Problems from within Titanium to download.
NOTE: If you're having no luck with this, it seems the PDANet client might install different drivers which help the process. If you're struggling this might be worth a try. Also ticking Unknown Applications allows it to send the SuperUser.apk has reported to help some users.
PdaNet Client is here.
Pre-requisites not mentioned in this post:
Working 2.1 X10
Drivers must be installed for X10 Debug mode - try adb manually to check
Some virus checkers might flag these files - this is because an exploit can be a security risk, but 100% virus free
You run this all on your PC - it connects to your phone and roots it from there.

How To : App2sd on Xperia X10i
Pre Installation.
I'm assuming that you have just fresh install 2.1 firmware and root your phone before you start the procedure. This is how I did with my phone.
1. Reinstall 2.1 firmware by using Sony Ericsson Update Service.
2. Root the phone by using SuperOneClick ( http://d01.megashares.com/dl/1xcuTic/Super...4-ShortFuse.zip ). More info on SuperOneClick, go here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
Note : Please disable any anti virus especially Kaspersky as it will give false virus alarm and will delete one of the file.
Step 1 : Preparing your micro SD Card.
Please refer to this link ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index...rd_partitioning ) on how to prepare your micro sd card. For better performance I would advise that you use a Class 10 card instead of the original card that comes with the phone because the card is only Class 2 card. For more infomation on speed class rating of sd card please go here -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital
An excerpt taken from wikipedia :-
The following are the ratings of some currently available cards:
* Class 0 - These cards do not specify performance, which includes all legacy cards prior to class specifications.
* Class 2 - Minimum of 2 MB/s performance. Lowest speed for SDHC cards.
* Class 4 - Minimum of 4 MB/s performance.
* Class 6 - Minimum of 6 MB/s performance.
* Class 10 - Minimum of 10 MB/s performance.
Note : The recommended maximum size of ext2 partition is 1.4GB. I've tried 3GB before and ended up with unstable system and eventually crash the phone. So if you're really greedy since you've bought a 16GB or 32GB card to partition the ext2 more than the recommended size and if your phone is unstable, you've been warn.
Step 2 : Download the related files.
1. App2sd : see attachment
2. adb shell : see attachment
Step 3 : Enabling USB Debugging mode on you phone.
Go to Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB Debugging (check this option).
Step 4 : Installing App2sd.
Create a folder name adb in your pc and extract all the files from adb.zip into this folder.
Connect your phone to your pc and mount the sd card. Extract all the file from app2sd2.1.zip to the root of your sd card. Make sure to unmount the sd card before continue the next step.
In your pc open up a dos terminal box by typing cmd in the Search programs and files box.
Type
cd /adb
then type
adb shell
then type
sh /sdcard/app2sd.sh
you'll be presented by this screen...
+________________________________+
+--------------------------------+
~this version should be go on any device ~
+___________________+
+--------------------+
[0]
now just press the enter key & wait.
Important : Make sure to set your phone screen timeout to the max because Superuser will ask for your permission to allow this script to run. If your screen goes blank, you can't see this prompt and the installation will fail.
after a while you'll get this..
busybox is /system/bin/busybox
rm failed for /etc/mount_sd.sh, No such file or directory
+________________________________+
+--------------------------------+
Don't worry, actually it does not fail. I also got the same message and I also thought it failed but when install all the apps and check using Minitool Partition Wizard and Linux Reader for windows, all my applications are installed into my card (see my previous post with screenshot).
The Explanation
If you look through the app2sd.sh script, command rm /etc/mount_sd.sh means remove/delete the mount_sd.sh file from /etc folder, since that file does not exist in the fresh install phone, it gives this error message but continue with other commands..
rm /etc/mount_sd.sh
mv /system/bin/sh /system/bin/sh_bak
cat /sdcard/sh.sh > /system/bin/sh
chmod 777 /system/bin/sh
busybox cp /sdcard/mount_sd.sh /etc/mount_sd.sh
echo "
+________________________________+
+--------------------------------+
"
sleep 1
reboot
Finally after a reboot, your phone is ready with app2sd. From now on when you install any applications it will save into your sd card.
Disclaimer : Do this at your own risk. I will not responsible if any injuries or damage occur to you or your phone
