The phone is amazing with amazing performance and it has a normal price. In the beginning, I had trouble with the phone to adjust because of the big screen. But after one week you will get to it.
[General Topics] kos25k:
I have a Xiaomi RN5 almost 2 years now.Before this, i owned a RN4 pro.All i have to say,is that you haven't to waste money for new phones.If you just flash a custom rom,install gcamera, Viper4A and sa2ration..and just buy a new battery..all is these you want from a phone!!!
[General Topics] _benedict_:
Hi! Just curious, why the new battery?
[General Topics] kos25k:
Hey bro.If you already have the phone 2 years,battery surely will have lost her capacity.So buying a new one+making above steps=having a whole new phone [emoji6]

How do you do you install all of that
[Motorola Photon 4G] ronnienyc:
Things I did not like about the GNex:

Crazy batter drain: 25 percent per hour during moderate usage. (maybe due to new battery)

No visual voice mail

Missed a lot of key presses – the screen is just not that sensitive (very annoying having re repress keys!)

Speaker quality is miserable. It’s all scratchy and distorted at higher volumes. And it’s not nearly as loud as the Photon.

It’s is not as responsive as the Photon: Photon seems faster with almost any task.

Screen is low contrast and looks muddy in white areas

Screen is unevenly illuminated

Photon camera is hands down better in terms of detail

Right side of images are soft (something wrong with the lens?)

The case is slippery – and it’s already so large that I do not want to add a case.

Lack of capacitive buttons is a real pain. For example, while the phone is importing contact from Google, you can not simply press the home button and do something else in the foreground. There is no button to press, so you are stuck there waiting needlessly.

Things I like about it:

High resolution screen can look fantastic & type looks extra clear

the screen has rich, awesome blacks

The camera is always focusing and shoot as soon as you press the button

It seems to charge very fast

Radios seem good: Speedtest yielded similar results to the Photon on both 3G and wifi.

--------------

As the GNEx is overall less responsive than the Photon, spkr phone is terrible, and battery life is poor, I am going to sell it and keep to Photon.

So yeah, I will be upgrading my other like to the Evo LTE in June and see how that goes…

And hopefully the next Motorola will keep the physical buttons, as the Evo LTE does.

Best,

ron
[Motorola Photon 4G] scoobdude:
I moved on to a gnex. My screen has been responsive except when the browser is loading.

Battery life seems good once you train the battery. Have gotten about 2 hours of calls AND 4 hours (together) of surf time on wifi.

It is slippery sometimes. Back feels like it has traction sometimes. Does need feel as good in hand as photon, but is lighter and more bottom weighted.

For the speed of the device its mixed. Has same stock launcher hiccup as photon...but only with a LWP. Everything else is smooth for the most part.

Speakerphone is decent if you hold it right. Seems more naturally tuned than voice heavy. Not as loud though.

Another important feature for me is awesome blacks. Photon had black crush and made the xda start up page look orange. Back to a more normal contrast scale on the gnex. The photon was still easier to read in sunlight and both have that blue tinted screen which is either the glare reduction or oleo phobic quality. Mind you the 2nd gnex I am on has the purple tint issue.

Radios seem on par and this thevgnex stays connected to my wife's car it seems. Photon does support more profiles though.

NFC....have you seen what you can do with tags?????? :D

One more thing I love about Sammy devices is their haptic feedback.

Things I miss are the alarm features, stopwatch, web top, HDMI support with no adapter, the kickstand, fb integration, and the rounded edges.

Over all though the gnex is still a great phone as is the photon. I kept mine because of it :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
just as a quick fyi, photon doesnt have physical buttons it has capacitive buttons, the gnexus has onscreen buttons :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] DualSportDad:
For what its worth..... I went to sprint and played with a gnex....... it was OK but the external speaker wasn't very loud and it wasn't any faster than my photon. For me it isn't enough of a difference for me to upgrade from my photon with cm9. I really do want a phone with nfc chip and a baro sensor tho.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ronnienyc:
OK - just tried the HTC One X. It is indeed impressive - much more so than the Gnex.

The screen is pretty fantastic, it feels smaller and more sturdy than the Gnex too.

A much better phone IMO.
[Motorola Photon 4G] DualSportDad:
But can't use a extended battery.... that's a deal breaker for me.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ronnienyc:
It is said that the battery life is very good.
[Motorola Photon 4G] DualSportDad:
it would have to be out of this world fantastic for me to even consider it.

i spend my free time riding a dualsport motorcycle at times way farther into the Everglades than i should be and have to turn on GPS for hours at a time. i use a 3500ma battery daily and carry the stocker as a backup. a replaceable battery is a must for me.

to be honest as well i'm tired of having half ass broken phones. unlocked bootloader but no 4g etc. as soon as my area gets LTE i'm getting what ever Nexus phone is available at that time. hopefully it's a motorola made one but if not it's no big deal.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ryan8r:
Only thing worse than getting a boner in public places is not having a memory expansion slot on my smartphone as I like to keep my media in excess. So that was the deal breaker for me.

Sent not from your device!
[Motorola Photon 4G] coolqf:
The battery as mediocre with my gnex when I first got it too. After two weeks the battery has improved greatly. When using only stock I prefer the gnex.

If you own the photon skip the gnex, but if its between both and all else is equal then go with the gnex. Price wise, the photon can't be beat though. Wish I still had it, I would have spent my money on a tablet instead!
[Motorola Photon 4G] snoopy1e11:
HTC would have to show me something very exclusive for me to buy another phone from them Samsung needs to step they radio game up
[Motorola Photon 4G] DualSportDad:
Or Google could just have Motorola build the next nexus phone. We'd get the best hardware, vanilla android and a unlocked boot loader.
[Motorola Photon 4G] coolqf:
The HTC one isn't enough? I like your standards!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] photonlover:
was tempted to pick up gnex but i might wait now, thanks for perspective
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
I sold GN, to a man, that sold it to me, after he tried HTC OneX, he wants GN back and gave OneX away. I am staying with Photon for now. ;-)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Moscow Desire:
Not relevant

Ok people. Doing reviews on devices other than the Photon 4g, should be kept in respective device forums. Unless I'm missing something, I didn't see the MP4G mentioned once.

I put a sticky up just for posts like these. "What Phone should I buy"

Also, for "some", try and keep the sexual innuendo's to a minimum... "boner", and don't let it progress farther.

Hey Guys just FYI.

I have a T-mobile USA branded Defy, unlocked, green lens, Dec 2010, yesterday I updated from official 2.1 to official 2.2.1 and I notice that it pick up UMTS (settings, about, status), in deed it is picking up 3G, I already verified.

It is running on TELCEL mexico which has 850-1900 band for UMTS, same as ATT.

I saw post saying that it only pick up edge on att, so that's why I post this.

Thanks
[Defy General] iolinux333:
tmobile defy works in north America 3g on 850 only. so you can get 3g, but high speed coverage is less

... unless you are actually using tmobile because then you get 1700 3g coverage too
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Cares:
I'm trying to bring this disaster of a phone back to stock and I seem to have bricked it?

I was trying to flash the stock 902 files via RSD Lite and it failed on grfs. I reboot the phone and it immediately loads into Fastboot.

(Boot Failure)

Invalid CG OTV (CG: webtop); Invalid SP Data

Invalid CG HAB (CG: webtop, status; 0X004E)

Invalid CG OTV (CG: webtop)

What do I do? When I plug it into the computer it makes the USB noise as if something is connected but RSD Lite cannot recognize it. Phone keeps saying "Connect USB" in Fastboot mode too. Help!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] addictedhacks:
try another PC
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Cares:
Well it was working fine until the bad flash.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] eye__dea:
Yes, you will need to use a new pc. The pc your currently using does not have the power needed to flash the webtop to your phone. You need a pc with atleast 4g of ram.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Cares:
My current PC has more than enough processing and RAM power.

My issue is that it was fine and now doesn't even recognize the phone anymore when I plug it in. Although it does make the USB noise when plugging it.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Cares:
So weird, my work laptop which is significantly slower than my home PC can recognize the Bionic through RSD Lite. I'm guessing I'll be okay once I can flash some stock FXZ files?

I have low battery unfortunately so I'll have to use an external charger to get the juice up right? Or will it charge if I have it plugged into a charger in Fastboot?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] eye__dea:
Yes, use an external charger. Phone will not charge in AP fastboot menu.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Cares:
Seems like I'm getting some sort of charge while in AP Fastboot though. It was telling me Battery Low but after plugging it in for a bit and unplugging it now says Battery OK.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Bfitz26:
try a different cable i use b.b. cables they have always worked great for me:)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Cares:
Whew! Got this fixed. Charged up the battery in an external charger. Flashed .902 files via RSD Lite. Phone is up and running again. Now I can finally return it to Verizon! :)

Thanks for the help!

There are a lot of phone out there and i want to know how we stuck to buy the x8..hahaha

so,just share here..

but first, i'll tell how i get a x8..:)

after finish my school i work for sometime and feel wanna change new phone..

before this, i use nokia 6021 and only for PTT (push-to-talk) use..

but after my provider that is maxis disable this function,so i'm kinda boring with my handphone..

so,i went to a few phone shop and i don't why i suddenly like this X8 cause of the design and the colour i think :D

i don't know why i buy it because there a lot of phone that more powerfull and pretty :) and i still think why i bought it :rolleyes:

furthermore,i buy x8 at that time at cost of RM550 (Malaysian money)

so,this is MY STORY..

how about you GUY???? :)

My x8 has a funny story actually

I went to shop with my dad and bought a lg optimus one

After 3 days i bricked it(i dont know how)

The optimus went to the repair shop and after a week dad went to take it back.

After that (i think) dad thought the optimus was better than his x8 so it gave me the x8 and he took the optimus

And i dont regret a bit because in my opinion x8 is 10 times better than the stupid optimus

But my dad definetly regrets that now:D

I wonder how would it be if x8 had 512 mb of ram

PS: my dad doesnt take a good care of his phones so my x8 is the only one(i think) who doesnt have the sony ericsson logo above the screen:D

How I got mine..

Pretty weird question I guess :-P Just writing to get my 10 posts, to be a part of the developer forum.

I was tired of my old school Sony-E mobile, wanted to try out one of the smartphones. I've always been a Sony fan, so the first phone I saw from Sony was X8. I went to the store, bought it and that's it ;-)
[XPERIA X8 General] scufita.rosie:
it waaaaaasssss cheap!!!! the cheapest phone i could find. Really. 49 euros. That's as cheap as a nokia 1100. Got my old one stolen and was short on dineros, so i've unboxed my "dude yo' so cheap" sonar and went "hunting" (actually, i entered the first shop i've seen).

I really hated the way it looked when i bought it, i was actually playing with a wildfire while the salesman prepared IT and was having second thoughts 'bout if i could wait a couple of weeks (without a phone) or just buy what my pocket could afford at the moment.
[XPERIA X8 General] Chris95X8:
Well, I lost my old phone, a Sony Ericsson C510, in fact I think a friend of mine stole it because he was jealous of some stuff :mad: and I was phoneless for 2 months or so. Earlier, the X10 had come out and I really liked it but, hey, it was like 500 Euros. So I was like..naaahhhh. Then I saw a commercial of the X8. I thought it was just like the X10 but smaller. So I said "why not" and the day before my birthday (which is Christmas day, BTW), I went to the store and bought it. It was December 2010 then. I joined XDA on March. And I started developing...clocks.

So my ex-friend really had made the greatest present of my life (till now)!

2.Was looking for touch screen phone..came across Nokia c6..this was in my budget

3.While watching review videos of C6 on youtube...read some video comment stating X8 is better...then I started watching X8 review videos :D

4.C6 was nothing compared to X8...Raised my budget and bought it on eBay...

It's a lovely phone...

When I was 16 I got my debit card so I got excited and ordered a bunch of things of the internet. I then came across the T-Mobile page and looked at the contract phones, and saw the Xperia X8. At the time I didn't know much about android so I went ahead and ordered the X8 without looking at the other phones. 2 days later they hadn't replied so I went to the T-Mobile shop, I lied about my age and told them I was 18 in University and left with my new contract :D Next day went back in with my girlfriend and she tried the same thing and left with an Atrix. I shoulda got the Atrix lol.
[XPERIA X8 General] bhavneesh:
helo..

i bought my new x8 just recently.. about a month ago..

well the story about my x8 is quite interesting...

actually i never had even heard of x8.. i mean i checked the sites for reviews on latest phones within 8 to 10k range.. since x8 is a bit old phone.. 2010... so it never came before my eyes on various reviews on internet...

well i was then fully determined to buy the HTC explorer

but then i was offered x8 by the shop dealer... as i hadnt used android ever.. i didnt knew the difference between 2.1 eclair of x8 and gingerbread of htc... so i decided to take x8 based on its looks, its accessories (headsets,back covers,etc..) and better music quality and headsets..

i still had no idea if i made the right choice.. until.. i got here at xda, flashed a rom.. made my phone using the latest 2.3.7 version..with hell lot of features damn now i think i own a superphone..!!
