Official Changelog of R2BA023 & R2BA026 on Xperia X10-FOTA Updates & Wi-Fi Bug

I’ve previously described the Changelog of Firmware R2BA020 for Xperia X10 on basis of my First Impressions of the Firmware update by Sony Ericsson! I’ve got hold of Official Changelog of the Latest Firmware for Xperia X10-R2BA023 and R2BA026. Although this event took place to be a month ago, I consider it important and necessary to tell you more about it.

The Latest Firmware R2BA023 and R2BA026 were available through FOTA ( Firmware Over The Air ) updates! Additionally you can update your Xperia X10 using SEUS/PC Companion! But if you choose to Update through SEUS or PC Companion you’ll loose all your data and setting on your phone. Make you sure BackUp all your Data on Xperia X10 using Best apps to BackUp Data and Setting!
And if you want a step by step tutorial on How to Update Firmware or Repair/Reinstall Firmware on Xperia X10, follow this Easy guide!

But if you choose to Update using FOTA you should not care about Backing up your data as this update won’t wipe data on your Xperia X10. FOTA Updates use 3G/Wi-Fi so if you are on a limited Data Plan be sure to use Wi-fi to update software though FOTA. It would be faster as well.
To update software using FOTA go to Settings -> About Phone -> Update!

R2BA023 Firmware( from R1FA014/R1FA016 ) : ~41MB FOTA
R2BA026 Firmware( from R2BA020/R2BA023 ) : ~1.5MB FOTA

Firmware Updates takes around ~5 to 10mins after the Download of the Software! After flashing all the settings and data are stored, so you don’t need to backup your data and settings if you are using FOTA updates!

On a whole there were ~300 changes made on the R2BA023 firmware from R1FA014/R1FA016. And a few more changes in the R2BA026 firmware from R2BA023! Most of them wouldn’t make sense to general public and is strictly related to Core Interface of the OS. ( Couldn’t be disclosed to everyone due to competitive reasons as well! ). so the purpose is to list some Major Changes in the R2BA023 Firmware!

In addition of changes on R2BA023 firmware from R1FA014/R1FA016, there were only a few changes made to the smaller update on Firmware R2BA026 on the basis of feedback from users all over the world after updating to R2BA023.
- Fixed the issue where users experienced Force Close in “PlayNow” and “TrackID” after the R2BA023 update!
- Fixed the issue of weak Picture Resolution in Mediascape!
- Photo quality is reduced in Timesacape ( Only Marginally! )to reduce the traffic over 3G/edge. In the next firmware – good quality with adequate bandwidth, will be our concern!
- Battery Consumption is tweaked further!
- Other minor improvements in general usability and stability of the OS.

After updating to R2BA026 many users experienced the Famous Wi-Fi Bug which is completely irrelevant of the Fimrware! I mean there is no bug in the Firmware and I can conform it from my tests on the Indian R2BA026 Firmware.
