I want new phone what have Android OS and first i want Xperia X10 mini pro or Xperia mini pro but i was so novice in android and i dont know what choose but finally i found on the internet this Device (X8) for 105€ and brand new so i decided to buy it.

well goin for 10 posts to get help with Matej's ROM | MV1 ;)

well anyway i got it for free from a friend that hates 3 same as me, couse atleast here in Sweden they are totaly incompetent and neither of us have had any success in getting them to unlock the SIM-lock on it:(

so now im messing about with it on stock trying different ROMs so far MV1= soft brick and atm PrimeHD8=soft brick :D so now im recharging it and hoping to get to recovery for a full factory reset and then we'll see what ill try next :P

if anyone is sitting on a ZTE Skate or well anything thats not SIM-locked, im willing to trade you for this S-E X8 10W52 and no i havent unlocked the BL on it just rooted and xrec/wmc. ill try to trade it this week if i cant get rid of if im willing to donate it to any registered contributor here on XDA for P&P:cool:

Got mine on a contract. I wanted to try a smartphone so I went for this - partly because I knew that people were able to hack them and make improvements.

Froyobread was my first rom, then gingerdx, then gingercruzt and now back to gingerdx.

Not a bad little phone, and new version of gingerdx seems to make it do all that i want it to do.

My story is quite odd. I used to have an iPhone 2G :mad: was absolute trash (was tempted to throw it out the window at one point!) So I decided that a week after my birthday, I decided to head to the O2 shop and get a new phone. I wasn't going for another iPhone as I only had £100. I asked the Guru's, as they're so called, what the best android phone for under £100 was, he gave me all sorts of replies but the X8 caught my eye and I decided there and then to get it.

After buying it I took out my O2 SIM and he'd topped up one SIM with £10 but not the one he gave me. Another trudge back to O2 to have a nag, it worked. But then after all that I switched to Giffgaff as its waaay cheaper for PAYG phones. I then rooted and put GingerDX onto it, now works like a dream :D

He gave me his X8, I only had to change earpiece because sound was weird after beeing thrown on the street, and voila, I got a beautiful X8 for les than 4$ (price of the earpiece) :) :)

How I got my W8!

I was savin' money for a few month and thought of switching my old Samsung Corby with somethin' else.

Walking through shops and I found IT! A beautiful phone! Glorious! Thoughts of my mates being jealous galloped through my mind.

Then, Doomsday happened! The price was RM700! My savings was RM650. RM50 short. Though the salesperson gave me a discount and I bought it for RM650!:good:

For me;

The wifey demanded for a smartphone...that says it all doesn't it? hahaha

So a friend suggested the X8's, looked them up, thought they were fair priced for NZ standards & ran with them. then the wife pointed me here after a week or so of searching for everything about her new toy & again demanded an upgrade lol

So here i am green as the grass on the otherside of the fence happily burning both X8's warranty's to hell. Not that i expect to use them lol. So far i have rooted & unlocked the bootloader on my X8 flawlessly on my first attempt....Thanks to many members as i read ALOT of content before trying it out (IMHO if one doesn't read, one may as well just put a gun to the screen of the phone & let rip) At least that's more fun than a brick. :p ;)

[XPERIA X8 General] Cheshire-Cat:
To be honest, I didn't want a X8 -- and have never been exactly happy with it.

In Uruguay, there are only two decent carriers, and both of them have these gaping holes in their handset lineups. The one I'm on (Antel) at the time didn't have any Android-based midrange offerings: it was either the X8 or the (original) Samsung Galaxy S, which was about four times as expensive. (The other carrier offered either the X8 or the iPhone, and that only with a prohibitively expensive contract.)

It was a very frustrating experience, because I really needed a smartphone, and while I had the money, I didn't need something as powerful as the Galaxy S was then -- so I got the X8 despite not being totally convinced. I quickly realized that the X8 was (and is) too limited for my needs... and while it's more satisfying to use now after many hours of tinkering with it, its basic flaws (too small, too slow, too little RAM) are impossible to fix through software. And of course, I'm stuck with it for another year until my contract expires.

[XPERIA X8 General] RaDiS234:
My plan was about to end and I was looking for some new phone. Actually I was looking for Xperia™ X10 (The big one), but I've never had Android on my phone (Previous phone - LG KP500).

Android was fresh OS for me so I said why not to try it. I really didn't know what can android do till I find X8.

I was younger and X10 was "BIG" for me, cause I've never wanted to buy a big screen phone like iPhone (I've had before) so I went to the shop and

I continued my 2 years contract with T-Mobile Slovakia provider and I get this phone with it for 19€. I was surprised how fast and good is

Android (2.1).

I bought it on May 2011 and I joined XDA on July 2011. I was looking on the Internet something about Android and I find that there is also Android 2.3 for smartphones so I was looking how to upgrade my fresh X8 and I found Legend ROM (Not on XDA). There was lots of bugs so I continued to find something better and I found racht's thread here on XDA. I think I don't need to continue, cause it's lots of Bricks, Flashes, Themes, Mods, etc.

Now I can say "THANKS" to racht to get my first HTC ROM, nAa to get my first (clean) Froyo Rom and also Gingerbread Rom, paul-xxx to get my first ICS Rom (WOW) and Daveee10 to get my Jelly Bean ROM (Badum Tss)

:D

Smashed my iPhone 4 (probably a good thing) had £60 went to the shop and found it, bought it, kept it for around 4months then it got stolen yet they couldn't get past my pattern lock so they threw it, I picked it up put the battery back in and it worked fine just without volume buttons, then I modded the hell out of it and decided it was the greatest phone ever. But I'm still looking forward to getting my one x tomorrow ;)

My Story

I was actually running late for my meeting with goku back in 1980.

Needed to text him to tell him this.

Went into the future.

Bought two x8s

teleported to goku gave it to him.

Then went back to my previous location and texted him.
[XPERIA X8 General] Arct.31:
Here's the story:

My dad and me go to Movistar to change the phone, they were promoting Samsung Galaxy SII, then my father bought it (I remember talking with myself, screaming: "WHHHYYYYYYYY!!!! *echoes*")

Then I wanna an LG Optimus since specs look awesome for a phone, I ask for it and they told me that phone will coming the next week, so my dad give me the money for the phone and go with his new Galaxy SII.

The next week I back at Movistar to buy the LG Optimus, they told me that the Optimus phone was very poor quality and some users were sending back to Movistar, but then, a girl (who is friend of mine, but I didnt know that she works there) told me that the Xperia X8 stock just arrive, more cheaper that Optimus. I bought X8, then since, this fella is supporting me, everyday until today. :cool:

Right now I'm looking for a new rom, without the dumb "Third and go" camera FC (I hate when that happen) :eek:

how i got my W8:

Way back last year 2011,.1st semester of my college thesis project ,. we're ask to build a team to create a android gps project(something like that) for a company,. and then i volunteer to buy the android phone coz i don't have one since i bricked my old se phone(forgot the model) 4 years ago.

then,. may 2012 my mom finally make up her mind and give me $170 to buy one ,.and then i google some of cheap android phones and found samsung galaxy

young S5360 and decided to buy it coz i heard a lot of positive feedbacks from this phone http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_y_s5360-4117.php then the next day i went to supermall to buy my first android phone ,.

at the mall:[walking like a boss]

damn,.too many android phone models[but i don't know what is better coz i really don't know what good and bad specs are :D] then i look for samsung galaxy y...

after 30 mins ,. i haven't found one! the only available is the galaxy y duos version :( sh!* my money is short! so i go ask a saleslady for an alternative and she show me this SE W8,. she said a lot of good things (sh!**y salestalk) ,. she said that samsung galaxy y and w8 have the same specs:( and W8 camera is better coz it has 3mp while SG -S5360 only got 2mp,.then i bought it.

got home and testing it:(whistling while testing it,.don't know that it is just an eclair.,)

then the next day.. my friend suggest me to update my software to 2.3 ,.boom! i didn't get an update! then i decided to compare it with SG-S5360,. and...

WTeeeeeeF! you know what happen no need to write...

How I got my W8.

Hurm, I already want to change the phone since 2010 bcoz my old W200i phone always broke and broke.. So I just repaired it that phone. In 2011, I think I'm just want to start collect the money to buy a new phone. When I'm collect the money I dont know what kind of phone that I want to buy. Then, when I saw a W8 phone at mobile site so I started want to buy that phone because its a Walkman model. I love the Walkman model bcoz I'm love to hear music. In 31 October 2011, I bought the W8 Walkman phone with the price RM530.. Now, I'm still using the W8 and I think i'm just start want to buy a new phone in 2013. If I buy a new phone, I won't sell my W8 phone because its the first Walkman Smartphone.. :)

[XPERIA X8 General] jay-z-s:
And my x8 story!

@2011 I decided to buy a new smart phone, I had the Nokia N90 (yes the big phone:D) in those days(and still have) and I wanted to buy another symbian s60 phone. (I don't remember it's model but it had 2mp cam, 400mhz CPU, 640×360 resolution,s60v5)

One week before I buy s60v5 phone I saw my friends SE X10mini & I said it's *uc*ing powerful & better than a symbian phone!

I didn't like x10 mini cause display screen is extremely small!so I decided to search the internet for a better phone.

I had different choices like:galaxy gio, ACE, X8 (my budget was 270$ but for example in my country xperia x8 costs 200$ or galaxy ace is exactly 270$:mad:)

Galaxy gio has no GPU so I removed from my list & then I had two decision ace or x8?? I thought ace and gio are much like each other & there's no gpu in ace too so I picked x8.

till these days I were very disappointed from my decision cause of lower CPU, screen size, fake dual touch ,etc....

But in two days ago I saw my friends galaxy ace performance in antutu app, and now I liked my x8 cause I got 4005 score @antutu and he got 4200.(my clock is@787 he is @~890)

Same gpu & CPU performance!!!!

Now I love my little black dragon!

If i knew that W8 exists I would buy that! Cause MUSIC IS LIFE!

My mobile fone journey

1st mobile fone I ever had was a Nokia 5110. did lotsa cool stuff changing the covers and changing the led light colors and the inverted lcds, those were cool MODS back in the day. after several Nokia fones later.... This is my fisrt chance to migrate to an Andriod fone. My neice, who lives with us, Had just upgraded to a Xperia J, as soon as she came in the door, I asked that she give me her W8 and she did. :victory:

As it is my first time on an Andriod fone, I started browsing and researching about 'em. Migrating from Symbian OS to Andriod OS was a pain, but a good kind of pain as I quickly learned.

MODDING.... I came across this awesome site, XDA-DEVELOPERS.com, i dunno if you've heard about it.... oh wait! this is xda :D

1st ROM I came across was, GingerDX v029, THANKS TEAM FUN!!!. Read several guides and TUTs... started DL of the tools... and VIOLA!!!

I was a proud owner of a W8 running GingerDX v029 on Stock Kernel. ENJOYED EVERY BIT OF IT! I think I haven't put my phone down since then.

And now, almost at the end of this story... I just upgraded to GingerDX v030 on Stock Kernel... still on the customization phase, but already loving it.

Again, THANKS TEAM FUN!!!

Hoping to have more fun times spent here in the forums learning, modding and meeting new friends.
