2.1 update rolling out! starting 31/10/10

MrWomble said:
trouble is i get 20hrs out of it WITH that app installed, with heavy texting, tweeting, emailing and wi-fi

so i don't understand how it can kill 1 users battery and not another

hence why i will uninstall to see if it lasts any better over next 2 days

Well I have a rogue app somewhere but I am unsure as to which it is, as no apps are displayed in the battery use section. My battery would usually last me a whole day with alot of battery left. But now I'm merely getting 5 hours out of it
 
Anyway, SE are rolling the update out to Nordic firmware handsets first..so maybe they are using a small market as Guinea Pigs? Something seems wrong anyway. Why Nordic first? Why not UK or USA? There's something not right here.

But like I always say...I could be wrong, as Ericsson was a Swedish company before it merged with Sony, so maybe that's why lol
 
We should have a friendly bet as to when we believe it will be released in the UK. My guess is Tuesday 2nd November :)

and i will assume it is users country specific - which should mean we get it at the same time now that you have unbranded

slight point of order, I pointed out the 2.1 would be on Sunday for nordic, which I think is fairly common knowledge now(provided SE do as they say),
but in the same thread I said I thought for UK (unbranded) it would be Mon 1st

Wouldn't bug me at all if it were Nov. 30 -- I'm patient. It's only a month. But I'd anticipate we'll see it more mid-November.

We'll see though. It'll get here when it gets here. I haven't had any limitations on what I can do with my phone based on 1.6 other than angry birds, so *shrugs* rofl.

I keep my expectations low.. saves me from disappointment ;)

Mid-November would be a legitimate guess I suppose. I just wouldn't be surprised if Rogers release it the last day of November and say "We are on schedule with the update so STFU peasants" that sorta thing.

Hehehe

i don't need any apps on 2.1 except

ANGRY BIRDS

so bloody addicted and sick of carrying iPod Touch to play it

oh and battery life would be good so i can play it longer

just hope i can root the 2.1 soon so i can keep my UI and FONT as it looks so much better than the sony tat
Click to expand...

Just to name a few, I really wanna have/try:

- LauncherPro
- Winamp
- WidgetLocker
- Skype
- Whatsapp
- Angry Birds

and I actually got many more apps that I can't remember off the top of my head.

And since so many people are into Angry Birds, SE should be creative and make a rip off version of it called "Angry People or Angry Customers" and have humans replace the birds, and the SE logo replace the pigs. That would be hilarious.
 
There is a lame version on the SE X8 I am testing called Crazy Penguin. Its very bad and very sad!!!
 
Well, since no one is in the know over here in the good ole' USA, I emailed our friends (if the truth was really known, LOL) at AT&T and here is what they said (WARNING, it is not a happy day here):

Maybe AT&T just don't want to make update promises they can't keep like SE have done for the past months?

Now i do like the wording in there - they can't even confirm that they will offer the 2.1 update

Then tell you to visit the shop not once, but TWICE

Oh, and after a shallow response like that, he/she has the nerve to call themselves a Customer Care PROFESSIONAL

OMFG now i know why AT&T has a bad rep
 
Annoyingly it seems ill get the update next week, the same week that the desire hd should arrive in my shop and ill be upgrading to that.

Still, should get a few more quid when i sell the x10 the week after if it has 2.1 on it.

I find it funny. As an IT Support rep at a major credit card company, I looked at the AT&T reply & saw 3 paragraphs of cut & pasted reply (1st, 3rd & 4th) with 1 small paragraph stating AT&T has no idea this update is coming.

Looks unremarkably similar to the replies our chat reps send out.

Guess I'm happier about debranding my x10a now seeing how unaware AT&T is about this.
 
My phone is unbranded and I live in South America, will i be able to upgrade to 2.1 on sunday
