can someone update the 1st page with how to root and jit and everything.
i wanted to learn

ya and can someone give me a review about the battery ?how long does it last ?

Battery is definitely one of the weak point for this phone, if you use it normally without gaming and data download, it could last you perhaps 1 day plus. Else, it hardly last you for 1 day. Unless I am doing something wrong with my phone.

reduce ur screen brightness, im using it at arnd 20% saves a whole load of battery time

Will try it out, though I am always on the second level of brightness in the pre-set screen brightness option in power control widget, not sure how many percent brightness is that.

i believe those app running in background might also effect on battery life as well.

and i don't understand, x8 is equip with light sensor right? how to enable/disable/set auto it?

Ya, probably, but I heard those app killer drain the battery even faster, so I am in trial stage without those app killer. Yup, light sensor is there, but I don't think we can turn it off, I admit it's quite annoying especially when the brightness of the environment keep changing.

yo, im trying to root my phone here. but right from the start im facing prob edi.
here im trying to revert back to 1.6, stuck at step #6
"6) The flasher "searching for Xperia". Turn off your phone. Hold down the back button and connect the USB to your phone while holding back button. Once start flashing, release the back button."
when i press the back button n plugin usb, the flasher still say searching for xperia, there is green light on the phone but nothing i happening o.O
phone screen still black n flasher still searching for xperia

probably wrong driver installed. i've similar problem before. try download and install both SEUS and PC companion.

dont quite get it, what does that 2 hav 2 do wif 2.1 to 1.6 flashing?
my 2.1 update no prob when using, jz cant flash it back to 1.6 oni

those 2 will install correct driver for x8. in my case, i've downloaded a file named x8 driver but failed to work during flashing (refer my post #336).

nvm, found out the issue edi. cant flash in a x64 win7
i got a x86 flash driver from xda forums, installed it onmy 32-bit system then can flash edi. back to 1.6 successfully, now nid to root it


Edit : my bad, didnt find the right flash driver, here X8 Flash Driver for those who mite hav the same prob as me.

extract the contents into a new folder (i put mine in desktop) then plug in the phone in flash mode, (im using w7) so when i plugin, it auto search for drivers, then it says cant install, just go to control panel, hardware, device manage, u will see a SEMC kinda drive wif a yellow triangle icon, jz click on it go to properties, update driver by linking it to the folder u made. i did this without installing pc companion, im not sure if this is even needed wif pc companion installed.

HAWK reso is too big for our screen, can play but a big chunk of the view is being cropped of, and some major controls are there. so dont think can play.

thrs a new jit v2 for x10, do u think we can use it? or can anyone modify so we can use it on our x8?

i just got my phone
is there sumthing wrong with my phone?
i found my phone batt life decrease frm 70% to 30% , around 7hrs of sleeping without touching my fon

Should be no problem. The battery need at least 5 full charge cycles to have full potential.

Thanx bro!

ooo yes, you're right, I forgot to show the most important part, installing the driver
I do hope someone update the 1st page to summarize everything, or open a new thread and merge with this thread.
Going to Jit my phone after this.

and bro awis, do you change the top bar notification colour and icon? It's kinda hard to alter the framework, maybe you can give a good link/xda forum for us to try it

btw, Happy New Year all

-Edit-
I'm trying this http://androidforums.com/sony-ericsson-xpe...ck-theme-d.html
but stucked at Sony Ericsson Logo

Just found out there's a thread at xda forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=889963
so user propc is Awis, this is great, we have a master on Lyn
and I manage to changed the framework, luckily I got Xrecovery installed
