You should get MyBackup Pro. Assuming the issues on your old X10 weren't severely debilitating, you could've backed up your settings and apps to SD card and then re-instated them on the replacement.

Just wanted to know if this is normal for the X10, I never noticed it before and was not sure, When I restart the phone as soon as the white Rogers screen finishes loading a small box pops up saying "Activating Phone" then the home screen loads and it will say "No Service" for a few seconds until it locates Rogers, I know that is normal but is the "Activating Phone" normal everytime you restart?
Hi,
I am using X10 for last few weeks. The issues that I have noticed so far are:
1) Lack of front camera. So no video call support. With such huge price tag it should have been there.
2) Lack of option to use 3G mobile internet and WiFi simultaneously. There are few applications (like Skype on 3) that require constant connection with operator's mobile internet and do not work on WiFi. Now if you want to use WiFi for fast browsing or VOIP, such applications go dead. A limitation at least for me.
3) Default email client does not support push email and exchange accounts. There are few clients available in Android Market (like K 9) but they have their own limitations. If one installs multiple clients to use multiple accounts then battery does not long last.
4) No built in Voip client. 3rd party clients effect battery performance.

1: But you should have known about this before you bought the phone
2: Surely a limitation with the apps, not the phone?
3:
4: So would a native voip client!

Long-click an open area on your home screen until the pop-up comes up, then select widgets, then select Timescape. If there is room, it will appear on your home screen again.

I have the same problem with my wi-fi. My boyfriends has iphone and it keeps connection perfectly but mine drops in and out. Very annoying.

This is what I thought and so i changed the settings but i still have the same problem. It just doesn't happen when the screen turns off now.
Hi, I too purchased XPERIA X10 couple of week's back. Explored and noticed this on my battery life.
I have re-formatted my phone and brought it to factory default setup. I have configured Facebook and Two email accounts.
That's it.
I recharge my smartphone in the morning fully by 6:00 AM. And by evening 6:00 PM, it is fully drained.
I do not surf, nor used any GPS or online features.
Mails keep coming, though I do not open any.
Is the batterry life only 12 hours?
Is there a way to extend for 48 hours as people comment its possible, in Android forums.
Please advice.

I'd suggest you have your mail/fb/weather (etc) synch once an hour instead of continuous. If your screen light is max out, then lower the brightness. Do you have GPS diabled? If it's enabled, it doesn't matter if you don't use it.
If you don't use alot of data (seems like it), try switching to 2G and only use 3G when you do use data. This will increase your battery life substantially.
Well try those and see how your battery life is.
Thanks mate for the information.
Disabling 3G, will it stop my browsing and mail check? The social networks like facebook and twitter are set to Never Update Automatically. Now I've changed it to 1 hour. Is 1 hour lower than Never update?
Let me try anyways for another day and get back with results.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Charge/discharge battery a few times initially
Done this.
Use TaskPanel/Startup Auditor to prune start-up apps
Will do it now.
Lower frequency of Facebook, Picasa, Twitter updates
It's set to Never update.
Turn off automatic widget updates
Where do you do that? I have not widget, except T/scape and Dictionary.
Turn Wi-Fi and Bluetooth off
Always off.
Disable Wireless network usage for location purposes
It was on. Switched off everyting, including GPS Satellites.
Turn down screen brightness
Auto selection is in the lowest margin.
Lower screen timeout time
I have set it to 30 seconds.
Use 2G when a 3G connection is not needed
Will this disable my email check and Gtalk too? I want this feature to be enabled.
Use Advanced Task Killer/ TasKiller to switch off apps not in use
I am afraid, if this would stop updating my facebook/ emails in the Scape widget.
Use dedicated power management apps

On some side notes, you should have these stock options with 1.6 (not 100% sure). Some useful stock setting apps I have on my home screen (menu-->shortcuts-->setting): Battery use (to check what is using my battery), Running Services (shows you what app is being used, time and how much RAM is being used and it works as a task killer by selecting it, it ask if you want to end the task). A stock widget I can NOT live without is the Power control widget that allows you to toggle wifi, bt, synch and brightness.
These are management apps I cannot live without on my Nexus:
-Mini Info Widget: gives you indication of % of battery, how much memory (RAM and SD) you have left. If you click on it, then press on the RAM, it'll take you to Manage Application. Press on SD and it'll take you to the SD card (where you can safely unmount your phone). Pressing battery shows you a more detailed view of the functioning of your battery
Mini Info - Android app on AppBrain
-Quick System Info: great management and TK app and it backs up all of your apps to the SD card
Quick System Info - Android app on AppBrain
-Astro: a file management app that allows you to view/edit the content on your SD card, has TK function and you can backup your apps to the SD card as well
ASTRO File Manager - Android app on AppBrain
Hope this helps

Thanks for the info. I tried to switch-off 2G/3G, and my battery comes more than 24 hours. Hence concluded, if we want to utlize this phone to the maximum, it would be less than 12 hours, and want to use phone as a mere phone, can withstand up to 48 hours
I have switched on the connection, as I just can't live without it. Facts, Mails, Chat, Scrapping, Twittering....!
Is there any problem if I keep on charging? Will battery life go down?
Let me try fetching some good task killer. I happend to get Juice Defender, and phew! it was difficult to understand the UI.

By the way, just wanted to know, if there are any ways to bring the Default SE logo in the T/scape widget after we delete all the mails, message, sms, info from the T/scape.
What's happening at present is, when resetted the phone to factory default, we have the SE logo in T/scape. After the T/scape is configured and used, and when we delete the T/scape messages and call logs, we are left with plain blank T/scape widget. The SE logo is no more in it.
Is there any ways to bring that back, without resetting the social network and email in the T/scape?

I have so many issues with this phone, i'm really disappointed with it, but this is another i've just found. When i've named people on photos each time i look back at them the names have changed!!!!! ie Rachel has turned to Richard, Ciaran to Buck!!!! WTF!!! So i change them back and have done on numerous occasions now LOL

I think it's more of an Android issue rather than the phone.
My previous Windows Mobile phones were exactly the same...phone not on - no wake up in the morning for work

Nope, litium ion batteries have no memory effect, so you can charge it as many times at any stage of the battery's capacity
There's a really good site that talks about this...but don't remember, if I find it again, I'll post it here for you.

Put your phone on airplane mode when you go to sleep, there problem solved (sorta) lol
I bought my X10A two days ago and the only problem I'm having with it is that this evening, anytime I went to make a phone call or was to receive a phone call, I would get the following error:
Sorry!
The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly! Please try again.
And then the only option I'm given is to Force Stop the program. Basically, I have a phone that isn't a phone. I have checked online and this seems to be an Android issue as it has been reported on other Android phones.
The weird thing is that all types of connectivity work, even when I try to make a call, it will still go through even after the error pops up but because of the error there is no way for me to answer a call. Other people said that it had to do with apps installed and I haven't installed any, so I'm not sure what to do. Anyway, any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: I've also been having problems connecting to devices using Bluetooth. It says it is paired but not connected. Just thought I'd add this.

Have you downloaded any new apps from the market recently? I for some reason had issues with my phone everytime I download Skyfire. What you can try doing is deleting any apps if any or try doing a Factory Reset and see if that solves it, if not then there has to be an issue with the phone. As for the bluetooth I have had that a few times. try turning off bluetooth then back on and then do the same with the headset, set the bluetooth on phone for the ready to scan and then turn on the headset to its pairing mode, which is usually holding the button down for 5-10 seconds and it will start flashing rapidly . then click on scan and it should pick it up and connect to it. If you still are having issues I would suggest trying another headset if you have access to one. It may take a few times to get it to connect, I have an old headset and I had to do it about 10 times to get it to show up and pair.
I said in my post that I haven't downloaded/installed any apps from the Market......at all. I ended up just repairing the software using PC Companion and that resolved the phone issue (for now).
As for Bluetooth, I tried connecting it to my PC (Sony VAIO VGN-FW275D) and to my previous SE phone (W580i) and it would pair but not be connected. When I tried connecting it to the PC (through PC Companion), it said it trouble detecting the phone (I made it discoverable) but upon checking online on the SE website (among others), still no solution to that.
Thanks for you suggestions!
