(Secret) Service Menu in Xperia X10

All the mobile phones I have had from Sony Ericsson would have a service menu, where the basic hardware could be tested. The X10 is no different.

When the phone screen is locked (The "Lock Screen" - the one with the blue rainbow! ), you push the physical buttons in the following succession:


Menu, Back, Back, Menu, Back, Menu, Menu, Back
 

Nothing is shown on the screen until the service menu pop up. Here you can test most hardware, like GPS, Compass, WiFi, touchscreen etc.
 

Connecting X10 to PC via USB

Simple... When you know how... Like everything else in life:

1) Connect USB to your X10

2) Open the top status bar on the X10

3) Select the "USB Connected" on the list

4) Select "Mount"

5) The SD card is now disconnected from your X10 and mounted as a disk drive in Windows. (Here seen as drive "F:")

When disconnecting the X10 from your PC, please remember to "unmount" the connection on the phone - if this is not done, you could risk loosing all files on the SD memory card.

1) Like before, start with opening the statusbar at the top

2) Select the "Turn off USB storage"

3) Select "Turn off" in the dialog

That should cover the basics...
