Gingerbread update coming to O2-branded Xperia X10s in the next week

Alex Dobie 7 years ago 1

Owners of SIM-free Sony Ericsson Xperia X10s have been enjoying Android 2.3 Gingerbread for the past few months, but so far the upgrade has been absent from some branded handsets, including those bought through O2 UK. In a recent blog posting, O2's Head of Device-Customer Experience, Stuart Hibberd, let the network's customers know what's been holding things up. Specifically, it seems...

X10 AirPad mini-review

Jerry Hildenbrand 7 years ago 16

We don't normally worry about the really low-end Android tablets floating around out there, because they always seem to disappoint. We had to make an exception when we heard about the X10 AirPad, though. X10 is a company many of us know -- they've been around forever since 1978 and have sold many a gadget to many a gadget-lover. And since the AirPad checks in at under $200, we...

X10 AirPad promises to be the best $199 tablet around, sports full USB port

Phil Nickinson 7 years ago 46

We usually scoff when we hear about Android tablets going for $199. But when we hear about stalwart retailer X10 selling one for $199, we'll at least give things a listen. The X10 AirPad promises to be the "best tablet on the market for under $200." Let's talk specs: You've got a 7-inch display with a measly 800x480 resolution. (By comparison, the Acer Iconia a100 and HTC Flyer each...

Bla1ze 7 years ago 1

Although Sony got a little ahead of themselves with the previous announcement of Gingerbread rolling out for the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10, they've gotten things back on track. Some of the first users getting the update notifications will be unbranded devices with carrier branded devices shortly following after. Once you get the update notification, you'll need to load up the PC...

Xperia X10 Gingerbread update actually 'days' away

Alex Dobie 7 years ago 2

Whoops. Looks like someone over on the Sony Ericsson support site pulled the trigger a little early on the news that the Xperia X10's Gingerbread update was live. Sony Ericsson has issued a clarification today, saying that the announcement was "premature" and that while everything was going "according to plan", it'll still be a few more days before the update to Android 2.3.3 goes out...

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Gingerbread update now available

Alex Dobie 7 years ago 11

Unlikely as it may have seemed just a few months ago, the Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread update for Sony Ericsson's Xperia X10 is now live, and can be obtained from the Sony Ericsson PC companion app, assuming you're rocking an unbranded X10. In addition to (nearly) the latest version of Android for smartphones, X10 owners will get SE's new "Facebook Inside Xperia" integration, Wifi and USB...

Update: The Gingerbread upgrade is now live! The wait is almost over, long-suffering Xperia X10 owners. According to a recent post on Sony Ericsson's official Facebook page, your update from the dark depths of Android 2.1 Eclair all the way up to 2.3.3 Gingerbread could be with you even earlier than the expected "August" release window. Here's the scoop -- The launch of the 2.3...

Xperia X10 Gingerbread update demoed, set for release in August

Phil Nickinson 7 years ago 8

Youtube link for mobile viewing If at any point over the past year you would have told me that the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 would actually get an update to Gingerbread, I'd likely have laughed at you. And, in fact, I did throw a chuckle or two toward Alex Dobie when he first wrote in March that indeed the X10 was slated for an Android 2.3.3 update. Sony Ericcson's now given us a little...

Alex Dobie 7 years ago 14

Better late than never, eh? Today Sony Ericsson has announced on its official product blog that the Android 2.1 update is now available for Xperia X10 users on AT&T. Alongside the newer version of Android, X10 owners will get camera enhancements including 720p recording, multi-touch support and support for up to five homescreens.

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 bootloader cracked

Alex Dobie 7 years ago 5

It's turning out to be a good month for Xperia X10 owners wanting to eek a little extra life out of their phones. First Sony Ericsson announced that the device, previously abandoned on Android 2.1, will receive an official Gingerbread update this summer. And now some enterprising hackers on XDA have managed to crack the device's bootloader, allowing users to install custom kernels for...

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 will get Gingerbread update this summer

Alex Dobie 8 years ago 18

No, we're not talking about a custom ROM, and no, it's not April 1st yet, either. After announcing that the Xperia X10 would receive no updates beyond Eclair just a couple of months ago, Sony Ericsson has turned on its heel and now promises X10 owners a boost straight to Android 2.3.3 in late Q2 or early Q3. Sony Ericsson's Rikard Skogberg says SE has "listened to its consumers," and...

Moto Backflip, Xperia X10 reaching end-of-life soon on AT&T

Jerry Hildenbrand 8 years ago 7

A tipster just sent this one in, it's a list of devices reaching end-of-life soon on AT&T, and the Motorola Backflip and Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 are on it. Looks like the Backflip's last day is Feb 2, and the X10 says goodbye on March 6. This doesn't mean that your phone will stop working, or that someone at AT&T won't be able to help you if you hit any technical snags, it...

Sony Ericsson Android slider leaks out, successor to the X10 Mini Pro?

Bla1ze 8 years ago 9

It appears another device has slipped out of the Sony Ericsson camp. The above Android 2.3 loaded slider has now turned up in China where it is rumored to be the successor to the X10 Mini Pro. Specs you say? How about a 1GHz chip with an Adreno 205 GPU that pushes 42.5fp via Neocore. All of which is powering a 3-inch 320 x 480 multitouch LCD. When put to the test Quadrant benchmarks at...

Android Market update not so welcome for Xperia X10 users

Jerry Hildenbrand 8 years ago 17

Life is rough for the Xperia X10. When released (overseas, anyway), it was top-of-the-line hardware, chained to an outdated version of Android, and we still have no idea if it supports multitouch. The custom overlay (TimeScape) is beautiful, but it really hampers performance. We all want to love it, but it's hard. It just got harder since Google has updated the Android Market. ...
