MY STORY

actually i own two x8 :P

one is a white with synaptics

the other is black with cypress

and here is my story:

the smartphone hype just started at my school, mostly just samsung galaxy S and iPhone, and i wanted a smartphone too.

I searched around the internet for a cheap smartphone(just to run some cool apps), found some really old galaxy (550 i guess) and the Sony Ericsson Xperia X8

I really liked the timescape UI and apps so i got it for my birthday (13th August 2011), the white one with cypress

as you can see my join date is 14th August 2011 :laugh:

a week later i already had it rooted and had hackdroid on it, wish i removed and replaced after a few months with GingerCruzt.

Then I started to learn about app developing and also kernel building (took me very long to built my first working one).

And finally I ended up in an IRC with some nice guys, and started developing for GingerDX :D

Now how did I get the second one (black with cypress)

last summer vacations(2012) i went to south france in a camping, had my white x8 with me and took it to the beach.

i layed it down on a towel of a friend and somehow it dissappeared :crying: i was kinda freaking out, mostly cause i had all my pictures on it,

but also because i couldnt hear music anymore (screw telephony/SMS :P ), one week later i got home,

met up with a friend who also had an x8 (black with cypress), and bought it for 30EURO (he got an iPhone :eek: )

i had an x8 again and for a really cheap price :D

the FUNNY story, one month later my mum got a call on her mobile, a guy found my phone(white x8) and wanted to sent it by post:victory:

he did so and then i had 2 x8, hehe

he told me the place he found my phone, but i won't ever know how it got there from the beach :confused:

anyway that's my story, i recently upgrade to an Xperia S, but i still keep developing for the X8, no worries ;)
[XPERIA X8 General] RomWiz:
Sv: How you got your x8?

Woooah :P

That's att long story ;)

Glad you got it back though :D

And hope you enjoy your xperia S :thumbup:

from PDsked

I didn't know for that phone before and I also didn't know what is Android

But my brother bought that phone first and he introduced me into that "world"

I wanted the same phone for myself so I went to shop to buy it...I payed 200 US $, I think...

And now as I'm here and I know how to flash custom ROMs and kernels, I respect that phone even more ;):good:

Went to a shop looked the phone ... tried the phone ... LOVED THE PHONE (i was comparing xperia X8 with the Xperia X10 mini Pro...) and bought it ... It is my first Smartphone and now that i have learned much about rooting and flashing Roms and stuff i am going to buy the new Xperia L
[XPERIA X8 General] 95mediatech:
Haha, let me share my story if you don't like it please don't hate it.

actually its a coincidence! X8 is the second Sony made phone i used.

i am really bought it in very financial crisis planned to buy a Iphone 4s that time:silly:.

actually, my first Sony phone are SE Zylo a slide form factor and nice solid Walkman phone

it has been gifted brand-newly by my older brother and i really like it first and until its ribbon cable damaged!

at that time i didn't know slide phone are easily vulnerable to breakage of ribbon and a FAILED model

so just 2month of use the GIFTED phone starting to cost me about (RM65) changing it!

and then, after 3-4 month of use! its been damaged again:crying:

my parents are really angry with me and even didn't give me money to repair it

and i use my backup N3310 phone for a while because i dont have financial to invest.

day by day i started to pressure my self and i pressured my parents a bit to buy

me a new phone because they say its good to invest in new phone

instead of repairing the same slide phone. so i goes to the same store where

i repaired my SEZ and luckily the recommended my X8 instead of Galaxy Y

because the Galaxy Y screen is looks disaster, and at that time i even didn't know

X8 is 2years older than Samsung Galaxy Y:eek: and even don't know what is ANDROID! trust me.

luckily they traded in my old unusable SE-Z and i topped u extra RM350 for my lovely X8.

after a couple of week i started learning rapidly about smartphone and Android. now i am a :silly:noob:silly:
[XPERIA X8 General] ibanezs470dx:
My story is quite simple I guess.

Firstly, me and my parents went to Malaysia to visit family and eat food (Parents came from Malaysia). I dropped my piece of crap phone in the bath, cracking the screen (it was a telecom r101 I think). I searched for hours on end looking for a good cheap phone on the net in Malaysia and I came out with two possible choices, a Samsung Galaxy Y (It had **** ppi but was more powerful and cheaper than the X8) and the invincible Xperia X8. In the end I fell for the X8 because of it's looks and screen ppi. I bought it the next day for about 500RM (or around $200 NZD).
[XPERIA X8 General] IWRH:

[XPERIA X8 General] captx:
For me it is

from my experience i have noticed that some roms are good in some devices and bad in others so you should try a few and see for yourself which one is the best for you.

I dont like the v2 of the Slimblur i think the v1 is better with the gapps from ginderdx you must try it and tell your experience.

so , i see that v1 used gapps frm GDX,, well i don't think gapps'll improve performance(nothing changes eh),,, ~

Hi guys, I've had a TF101 for about 3 weeks now and recently I tried to root but had no success with Venom, Nacho, BRKs_Rootkit v7. But after the last attempt to root it was stuck in boot loop and when I restored the backed up recovery and system image using BRK it said everything worked but it's not turning on at all now apart from APX when I plug it into my PC via USB. Please Help.

What does your serial number start with? If it starts with b60 or lower you can use NvFlash to root + flash a rom. If it's a b70 or higher try Vipermod Option - 1 if you're on ICS or Razorclaw 1-click root if you're on HC. Try factory reset to get os back

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] fred99u:
i bought an iconia a100 from someone and it seems to be working fine but i do not know if they have put a custom rom on it, and i am not sure if it will be safe for me to download the ICS update when it becomes available shortly, so i need the pros here to help me out if any help is even needed, like i mentioned before the tablet appears to be working pretty good

after i got the tablet i did a "Factory data reset" to make sure it was clean, and i followed a few tutorials online to get it rooted, and everything seems to work alright

in the "About tablet" section it says:

Model number :A500 (even though this is an a100)

Android version: 3.2.1

Kernel version: 2.6.36.3

Build number: Acer_A100_2.007.05_COM_GEN2

in the "Device Information" section when i click FLEX Version, product SKU, device info version, manufacturer, or model ID, or any of the other options listed, nothing happens, it just makes a click sound, so i can not tell you the information there
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Theonew:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] banjodyl:
I bought a new GNex last week and immediately ran into bad connectivity issues when preferred network mode is set to LTE/CDMA. Basically no signal all (3G or 4G), even though I live in downtown Boston where there should be 4G. When I switch my preferred network mode from LTE/CDMA to CDMA, the 3G network works fine with no connectivity issues.

On the phone, Verizon told me that a software patch in May will fix the issue. A staffer at the Verizon store told me that I could already find the patch online and that it would solve the problem... I assumed he was talking about 4.0.4. I flashed 4.0.4 yesterday fully expecting it to solve my LTE connectivity problems but ..... no luck. I still get no signal using the LTE/CDMA setting. I can't even make or receive calls unless I switch back to CDMA.

Do I have a hardware issue? Are other people having the same problem? Should I trust Verizon and hope that the 4.0.5 OTA update fixes the problem? Is there anything I can do about it now?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SnrSuave:
I am in the same boat as you. Just got a replacement from Verizon but it had a horrible purple tint to the screen so its going back. Didn't even get to see if its better at 4g. I think its a hardware problem as I've read that some people were able to get a replacement phone that actually works.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cletonius:
My problem is similar. I can get 4G and use it sometimes but after a short time of data usage all my data is cut off until I reboot the phone. No calls, no nothing. I logged a ticket last night and will be calling back today for an exchange.

edit:

I stopped into the VZW store after calling customer care and getting everything all setup. They swapped out my gnex for a new one and so far my experience has been positive. I'm seeing improved signal everywhere and last night the phone didn't drop connectivity once or even get warm. The old phone would get hot to the touch in the upper left of the screen, the new one stayed cool throughout 30 app downloads with 2 bars 4g. Here's to hoping my problem is solved.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ysosrslawl:
I'm getting a similar issue with connectivity dropping ice had this phone for three weeks and the signal drops terribly. At my house because I live on a mountain by a Penn state campus I know there isn't much in the way of signal because of the distance from the towers without interference. But even with being in other areas with 4g I still run into the signal dropping...I thought it was just me so it's good too know I'm not the only one having issues

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
1) Can you use a phone that's IMEI blocked in Aus O/S ? Maybe

2) Can you change an IMEI. No - illegal in most civilised countries.

3) Best way to fix CSC is to flash a stock rom for your region. Check for unbranded AU ICS firmware in this thread . If links don't work, make a note of the firmware you want from that thread & try searching Samfirmware ( before you do that tho, there is probably a link in the AU SGS2 thread on here in the general section as well; search for it during the past mth or so).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bored_stupid:
Its blocked because has been reported stolen. You cant as far as i know alter the IMEI number.

Witch one do you prefer and why? I think RCMIX is better from what i read in the logs. Haven't tried either one yet.

I did get mounting to work with the Stickmount app from the market. The multiple partitions on my external drive supposedly mount under /sdcard/usbstorage but they show as empty in any file managers.

Edit: Based on Stickmount's info the reason the drives show up empty is more than likely because I'm using an adapter instead of a cable. I'll update when my cable comes in the mail.

otg

hi all iv'e posted a bit about my knowledge of otg in different threads and thought id post what i know/figured out so far in this thread.

please correct me if you know any different.

the only difference between a usb cable & a otg cable/adapter is that the otg has pin 5 joined to pin 4 (this lets your kindle activate otg host mode). unfortunately most cables only have 4 cables attached (even if pin 5 is present in the connector) .

you can find an app called electrodroid in the market to see usb pin-out.

usb controller seems to be a good app to see which devices connect ok.

stick mount works well for me to mount usb drive.

tip's

download stickmount app, open and allow permission

turn off kindle & plug in otg cable connected to a powered hub (mine has a switch on the side, "bus or self", i set it on self) insert flash drive into hub.

then power on kindle when loaded the app stickmount should auto connect your flashdrive (there should be a popup) if not open up stickmount app and hit connect.

then you should see the popup.

open root explorer and goto sdcard you should see usb storage in there (for some reason on my 1st attempt to open root explorer it always shows as empty, just exit the reopen R/E).

?if you unplug otg cable without going into stickmount and disconnecting sometimes you can't remount without a reboot?

a mouse and keyboard should just work but iv'e also found that they also need to be inserted before booting up. my mac keyboard doesn't work at all but my mouse/keyboard combo ie. one dongle which both keyboard and mouse came with works fine

still playing with bluetooth. i can see it in usb controller app but can't switch it on yet, i think this is something hash is aware of and it needs something tweeking in the kernel.

everything seems to need the extra power of a powered hub. i did have my mouse working on its own once or twice but most of the time it needs powered hub.

here's a pic of my setup. hope this helps someone get it working as it's awesome.

USB Controller indicates that my generic BT USB plugs (i have two of them) are "Connected USB devices" with the address 0001:0a12. So the system recognizes them, but what to do next?
