    Hello guys, if u have your xperia x10/x10i locked to a network don't try this. This is only for unlocked phones. This is not work to unlock from a carrier. Anyway if u root , it will not alowed to introduce your network code after that. Be very careful cause I happened and now i use my phone only to listen my music šŸ™

    Go to settings/applications/manage applications/(choose app)/clear default. On the next time you run the app check the mark box and choose the app you want to run every time you click it.
