this is a bug that most X10 users, including myself, are experiencing

Some had been able to get rid of this by going to

Settings

wireless & networks

Mobile networks

Network mode

GSM only

for most people it does not affect their 3G or H coverage, for others it does affect that and they only receive 2G or G.

It's for X10a but works just fine with X10i

you can learn how to get 2.2 in this thread

ust having a meal break at work so taken a few minutes to try and help you with this

The phone must be rooted and

Install Busybox from android market

Install Titanium backup from android market

Install xrecovery from XDA

Did you try the x10HD version if not delete the one you have and give it a go first.

If the above is all done and you still don't have xrecovery then your phone system files are still read only if you don't mind spending £2 on an app

Install Root Explorer from the market then reboot phone.

http://www.androidpit.com/en/android/market/apps/app/com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer/Root-Explorer-File-Manager

Open Root Explorer and at the top will be a grey icon that says Mount R/W tap that so it changes to Mount R/O

Exit to your main menu and open xrecovery, now install xrecovery from there and you should get the 3 green ticks

Reboot phone into xrecovery and backup your current version as I mentioned in an earlier post above.

Volume button scrolls up / down

Back button is back

Home button is select

Installing 2.2

Download Beta3, Beta3 Hotfix and Gapps to your PC.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=859571

Connect phone to PC with USB and Mount the SD Card, create a new folder on your SD Card called 1Roms (this is so it appears at the top of your folder list).

Copy Beta3.zip, Beta3 Hotfix1.zip and Gapps 2801.zip into this folder on your phone from your PC then unmount the SD Card and disconnect the phone.

Step 1

Reboot phone into xrecovery

Select Install Custom Zip

Select Install Custom Zip from SD Card

You will get a list of your card folders 1Roms should be the top one open that

Select Beta3 and press the home button to install

When finished reboot phone and leave it alone for a few minutes.

Step 2

Reboot phone into xrecovery and follow above process to install gapps

When finished reboot phone and leave alone again for a few minutes.

Step 3

Reboot phone into xrecovery and follow above process to install Beta3 Hotfix

When finished reboot phone and leave alone again for a few minutes.

Step 4

Turn off the phone for a few minutes then boot phone into normal mode.

Download Titanium Backup from the market again and install it so you can restore your apps but as you have gone from 2.1 to 2.2

Install the app only don't install app+data as this has shown to cause instabilities.

Your done it now has 2.2 and you should not suffer from any issues, reboots, force closes etc

I would suggest that when you have installed all the apps and set them up turn off the phone, leave it for a few minutes then reboot

Once you have the system running after a day or so you need to backup the 2.2 version with xrecovery the same as the previous way mentioned above somewhere.

You will benefit from dual touch if you don't already have it from here

You need to install this using the Flash Tool

We are rolling out a new software for Xperia X10 (Build number 2.1.A.0.435).

Check at "Settings" > "About phone" if you have this software. If you don't, try to update with PC Companion ("Support Zone" > "Update").

Once updated, if the software is available for your phone, try to send a new message with +160 characters and see if the problem still persist.

Let me know.

Re: sms sending problem

enjoy 2.1

Re: sms sending problem

Uliwooly — Tue, 15 Feb 2011 17:28:11 GMT

I still have the same issue even after the latest update for the X10a, if I try to send long messages (more than 160 characters) not as often but once every other day.

and another issue, if I send an MMS I lose 3G, 2G, H entirely while its sending it, I repair the phone many times but still the same "glitch"

Re: sms sending problem

Markus1 — Wed, 16 Feb 2011 06:39:32 GMT

Do you have build version 2.1.A.0.435 in your phone as well?

I'm seeing user on both this forum and on our Facebook page that confirm that a software update to the this latest version actually solved their problem.

You're the first to comment and say that it did not (at least the first I see).

Re: sms sending problem

Uliwooly — Wed, 16 Feb 2011 07:02:56 GMT

I do have the latest update, and I sitll experience the same issue, as well as other friends.

and I had follow other suggestions, got new SIM cards but nothing, it's not as recurrent as before but it still there.

Re: sms sending problem

Uliwooly — Wed, 16 Feb 2011 07:04:01 GMT

btw how big can the files be to be send through MMS?

if it's a picture? video? song? because everytime I try to send a video or mp3 it says its to big to be send through MMS

Re: sms sending problem

Markus1 — Wed, 16 Feb 2011 07:16:04 GMT

Well then, I'll keep my eyes open to see if someone else have the same issues despite updating to 2.1.A.0.435.

The phone will automatically convert the pictures you send so it fits the size of a MMS. If it's a song or a video, the phone won't be able to convert it like it can with a picture.

I think the limit is somewhere around 300kb but this can be set different by the network operator.

Uliwooly — Wed, 16 Feb 2011 07:19:02 GMT

ok thanks

Re: sms sending problem

an2ny79 — Wed, 16 Feb 2011 10:25:18 GMT

So having more than 20SMS is normal to be converted as MMS? Because I tried to compose 20SMS and after that, it automatically converted as MMS.

I did the same test with my X2, but it didn't convert even I reached 50SMS..

The test were made after I update my x10 phone to the latest version 2.1.A.0.435

Re: sms sending problem

Uliwooly — Wed, 16 Feb 2011 16:36:16 GMT

do you have the same problem I do, that while sending a MMS you lose 3G/H for 20seconds to 1minute while the X10 sends the file?

Re: sms sending problem

Wed, 16 Feb 2011 17:33:40 GMT

Have you tried Handcent SMS instead of stock app

In the send settings

You can set maximum size of MMS (in this is 1.2M, normally it would be around 300K which would be why yours wont send some times)

You can set the option to split messages that exceed 160 characters or not split

You can set it to convert to MMS or leave as SMS if the message is a long one

All round far better than the stock app

If you do try it turn off all the retrieve and notification settings in the stock app otherwise you will get dual notifications, it will still log all sent and received messages though

but just wont tell you about them

Re: sms sending problem

an2ny79 — Wed, 16 Feb 2011 18:08:05 GMT

I aint sure if it lose the 3G/H.. The only thing I know, it took me a while to send a converted picture..

I tried to send one pic, it didn't disappear.

Maybe you are in a weak spot???
