Just bought myself an X8 and got them to upgrade it to Android 2.1. Very good phone for the budget, let's see if any probs start cropping out down the line.

Just rooted my phone using the link above as well (thanks minlekoq!), but I can't find App2SD in the Market. How do I get it bro? *Android newbie*

PS: Just installed BusyBox through Titanium Backup, now looking up how exactly to JIT the phone. Wow, I'm spending more effort studying Android than I ever did in college studies!

Thanks for the help brahs!

Guys, I need some help. Everytime I try to use my camera, it says "Insert Memory Card". Same thing applies when I try to use apps which require using the SD-Card as well, such as Tubemate. It also fails when receiving files via Bluetooth. The thing is, when I check the settings, it shows that the SD card is inserted, and even show how much space is free to use. I need to unmount, remove, and re-insert the SD card manually and this prob is fixed, but only temporarily. As soon as I try to use the camera again, it shows the same thing after a while. Is this a case of a faulty SD card or something else?

Alright bro, thanks. Will give that a try.

Just swapped memory cards at the shop, it's working fine now. But on another note, I just realised I've been given Class 2 memory cards, so I'm not sure how much thats going to affect performance. So far so good though. *touch wood*

Got Swype for my phone, I can FINALLY hold decent text convos now! Took me ages to get used to speed-texting on the default keyboard. Swype is awesome, any of you who haven't got it should seriously give it a try!

Here you go: http://swypeinc.com/myswype.html

And yes, it supports HVGA!

PS; It takes a while getting used to it, very troublesome at first if you're used to normal texting. But after almost 2 days of use, I don't know how I ever managed to text without it!

The most annoying thing at first was adding all our Malaysian lingos to the dictionary, lol. But it's amazing nonetheless!

Enjoy texting!

It's cock, just do the upgrade man. 2.1 is miles better than 1.6.

Nice theme man, Gingerbread...


Welcome to the X8 brotherhood! Is the Papago working for you?

Same here, I guess we just gotta play the waiting game for the time being.

Guys, I'm in serious need of some help here. I accidentally synced my phone with ALL my FB contacts instead of just syncing with the contacts I already have on my phone, and now I have almost 1000 contacts on my phone! I have to delete them one by one manually, 3 days of deleting and I've only deleted quarter of them. Is there any way for me to delete multiple FB contacts from my phonebook? I almost had a seizure scrolling down that long list of contact deleting them one by one.

Nice man, I'm going to give that a try! And biasa ah, 2GB memang xkan cukup, lol. I went for 8GB and I still feel like I'm running out of space too fast!

Alright man, I'll give that a shot, hope it works. Leceh ah..

I removed my FB account from the phone, and it worked. Problem is, it removed ALL my FB contacts instead of just the ones I didn't want. Haish, it's either you have ALL your FB contacts on the phone, or none. I can't seem to be able to find a way to only sync the contacts I already have on the phone with FB.

Haha, be VERY careful!

Just got myself a copy of Papago X5, works perfectly on the X8. Of course, there are a few times where slight lag may occur, but I guess that's expected given our processor isn't exactly that powerful. Don't know if JIT might improve it's performance though, will give that a try if the lag gets more noticable, we'll see how that goes.

I had that problem with Titanium as well, solved it by downloading BusyBox off the market.

You can get it from the market bro.

Haha, have fun with your Papago! Mine took extra long as well the first time it tried to lock, but I guess thats expected. Now its a little faster to get a lock-on, but damn does it drain the battery!
