While some Xperia X10 users are wishing they had the option to update their handsets, those who have are advising against doing so. The latest firmware update for the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10, build number R2BA026 brings back a WiFi issue which was present pre 20 builds. If the phone loses network signal, the WiFi signal also drops off so you’re left not being able to do anything on the phone until either signal returns. I’ve also experienced the issue the other way around, where the WiFi will drop, causing the phone to lose a network signal completely. WiFi usually comes back on first, with the network signal following.

Hopefully the next firmware will again fix this issue. Another complaint users have with the latest firmware, is since installing it, the WisePilot app is no longer present. There are two videos showing the WiFi issue in action, which you can view after the break.

While O2 UK may be struggling to get the last update out for the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10, Sony Ericsson have released another update for the handset. This time it comes in the form of “R2BA026″. The update has been confirmed for the UK and India so far. The update also brings the baseband up to 1.1.31.

There isn’t a changelog from the company this time but, users are reporting Timescape and Mediascape to have been improved and provide a better experience in terms of performance. This update was certified on July 12th but, it seems we may see another update roll out soon, with R2BA028 being certified on July 21st, so the update momentum is set to continue. Lets hope the carriers can keep up with the updates.
