Has anyone got an X10? Do you have problems with alarm? Mine won't go off before 7am. Also is your phone really quiet when talking to people? And yes the in call volume is at maximum.
I've got one. Never had the alarm problem. Maybe you're just REALLY tired and sleep through it?
The call volume is a serious flaw. There's a pre-Android 2.1/2.2 update imminent that sorts a lot of issues out, including the in-call volume. Google for "R2BA023". They have it in India already, and you might be able to download it from SE website. Dunno if it shows up on the phone update bit in settings yet, but I think we'll eventually be available to update via wifi/3g/edge/whatever.
Nope not sleeping through it. The baby has woken me up 10 minutes before the alarm every day this week and its not gone off. Think the phone maybe faulty. 🙁 I told Carphone Whorehouse it was but they couldn't find anything wrong. Alarm works fine after 7am though ❓
It did do an over the air update last week but it's still showing as V1.6 android in the system settings menu. Didn't sort the volume problem out though 🙁 Any idea on when 2.1/2.2 will be released for Xperia?
It'll still say Android 1.6, but there'll be a bit in the "about phone" in the settings menu that'll show the you the firmware version. Previous one was R1FA016, new one is R2BA023. Android update is coming sometime before the end of the year.
As for the alarm, are you using any kind of task killer, and if so have you set it to ignore the alarm/clock? I think they generally play havoc with the inner workings of the phone if they're not set up correctly. The one I had installed automatically killed the phone bit of the phone, so I couldn't make/receive calls! I uninstalled it and I don't bother with a task killer now, just Juice Defender. Battery life is very good with this, maybe up to 2x as much use per charge.
I've got that advanced task killer. Could be that. Will remove it today and try it again. 🙂 The battery life on it is shocking though. I don't use it heavily due to having a net book and broadband dongle for train. But I still charge it at least once a day.
advanced task killer
That's the bugger. Get Juice Defender. The tasks themselves take up very little power. It's having on all the facebook/twitter/email auto-updates and wifi and gps etc that kills the battery. Juice Defender turns all these off, and only turns them on every half hour or so just to check for emails, unless you're charging, downloading, GPSing, etc.
