Haven't seen one here, I'm sure quite a few people have this phone...
 
I have a question, the Wisepilot GPS software that is included, does it use your data connection as well as GPS, and if it does, how much data does it use and can you make it only use GPS?
 
Ive got a X10 and loving it :D havent used WisePilot but if you go to Settings, Location, you can choose if you want it to use GPS only or A-GPS to.
 
@Pooky: Are you asking if you can stop it from using data? Not unless you have the maps saved. Can't do that with WisePilot I think. Try Google Maps BRUT Mod 16. This will cache map tiles to your sd card. Or Copilot. You can save the SA maps on your sd card. You will want to use the GPS for proper navigation instead of A-GPS. Mobilism/IPMart-Forum/XDA Forum are your friends......... ;-)

Thanks I will try that...

Should I just delete Wisepilot then? I can imagine it could run up quite a bill...
 
Not unless you need the space (and you have rooted your phone, can't delete it otherwise I think). It won't use any data if you aren't using it. I recommend Copilot for X10!
 
MY SO saw a X10 mini over the weekend at some shop & now she wants one.
Anyone here using the X10 mini - any user feedback?
This is one SMALL phone & I cannot see how Android would work properrly on it ( after using a Milestone)

Also, any idea how much on pre-paid from MTN?

thanks

edit : does the apps from the MArket like battery meter etc still work on this phone?

On prepaid it's R200p/m on MTN (if you have the TopUp type contracts). Or R3000+ cash.
I have to change my contract from 150 TopUp to 200 and pay in R431 to get it on MTN.

Edit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BhB_rhBqyE gives a pretty decent review on the phone.

do any of you X10 owners have a problem with the telkom netgear (DG834GUv5) routers...
basically once I connect its fine but if I go out of range or disconnect and try connecting again it says..connecting...then disconnected....and it wont reconnect until I restart the router.

At work I have no such problem with the router

oh and if you dont have a problem with your telkom router, can you let me know which telkom model (Siemens 762SX, Billion 400g, Billion 800VGT) you are using, as I am thinking of getting it swapped before the contract is up..

Has anyone managed to sync their phone with their PC i seem to be missing sony sync on my phone only have the option of syncing with google ?
 
^ What do you see under "Select Sync Application" in your settings (Settings - Data Sync)?

What is your software version?
 
If I go too Select sync application it only gives me Do not use sync service or google no sony sync. My software is build R2BA024.
 
Do you have the SE Sync app in your app list? Have you tried to set it up first?
I am also on 024, so this is strange.

No it was no where, K did some "googleling" flashed my phone, I think phone was branded by Vodafone although nothing was visible except a red square for the internet, so I flashed it to R2BA026 and now Sony Sync is available. So all working now. Thanks anyway.

I hope you don't use Wifi a lot - 026 has a nasty bug. I went back to 024 till Android 2.1 comes out.....
