This will be my last Milestone post as I'm selling it tomorrow. Was just flashing the latest update for the sake of the new owner. Motorola never again.

who ever said that was same one...???

I dunno, I guess I got the impression from some posts around here that it was identical to the buggy leaked version. I gather it's still buggy, but I won't be the one to find out

it has same kernel as Arabic MS...... that kernel aslo has DSI errors but little..... don no when is moto releasing stable.... Kernel...... ok finally decided to Leave Motorola never again to buy it.... Deciding to but some other May be Xperia..... Arc or Play ... whichever.

You realise that SE phones are locked down just as much, maybe more than motorola ones right?

Get a HTC HD2. Mother of all phones. Looks like anything can run on it. They recently got debian to run on it. And it should cost about 20,000 here.
I am seriously thinking about getting one.

Don't get X10, pos screen doesn't even have multi touch and only does 65k colours. Locked down worse than milestone. Find a nice HTC or nexus. At least mm has a froyo kernel, x10 is stuck with eclair as it's not getting updated past 2.1. Plus the gpu is crap on snapdragon.

htc desire z is like the milestone ..

[Continuing the Oftopic ]I've been thinking about changing to desire Z for the HW Keyboard. Anyone with any feedback?

I think this TELUS kernel is the same that the old APAC Kernel 2.6.32.9-gafbfc43 (SHOLS_U2_05.26.0)
The new APAC or African kernel is 2.6.32.9-g11068ed (SHOLS_U2_05.27.2)

I wouldn't. Its not the greatest phone out there right now... I would wait for a dual core android phone from HTC or the iphone 5 (if there even is one, last one was summer release so it might be then as well this year)
I also wouldn't get the HD2 because its not the top-of-the-line phone and dualcore processor phones should be much better, and if they are nvidia dual core tegra 2 processors, they have tegra zone too, so more gaming possibilities and enhancements there.
Although many people do not like the Atrix, it does have 1 gb of ddr2 ram (not certain, but read somewhere) and a dualcore nvidia tegra 2 processor (i think both the cores equal to 1ghz)
+ I think nvidia said they expected quad core processors for mobile devices by this summer ( I THINK! not sure, saw somewehre on engadget I THINK!)
Lastly, the EVO 3D looks cool too, and I would wait for that if I had the money, and not stuck on a contract. Evo3d video: http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/22/htc-evo-3d-first-hands-on/

YAY official update!
So...After all my moaning and crying about the locked bootloader I go and get an ATRIX.......
Say what you will about Motorola, they make some awesome hardware. The Atrix a such a amazing phone. After freezing down all the Blur app it is the best phone i've ever used.
On another note: HTC is starting to lock down their phones (htc thunderbolt), I hope this isn't going to be true with all manufactures.

Yep, sometime around q3; which if years of experience with se are anything to go by, means by the end of the year. By then, the x10 will be nearing the end of its useful life - given its limited memory etc. There are much better options out there.

why why why...........

why this h2 always get the good stuffs.. android 3.. android 4.. may be android 5 in future??? whats the importance/ advantage of this phone.. ? a huge number of updated roms are for it and the development is veeeeeeeeeeeerrry fast for it.. why cant it be for other phones? even with more advanced hardware cofig phones are still stuck in 2.2!!!!!!!!!!!
i asked coz i am doomed ... i am planning to buy a new phone after i sold my hd7( not even a single android is out ther for it)...
planed to buy lg 2X.. changed plan coz it have very slow updates...
planed to buy nexus(old nexus 1).. changed plan due to bit old hardware features...(perhaps i am not satisfied)
planed to buy galaxy Y.. changed plan due to few custom roms( worth buying it coz of low cost yet nice hardware cofig)
now planed to buy desire hd...( no reason, hoping for ics rom would come out soon)
but the first one with ics custom rom is hd2... but why hd2 always get the good stuff!!!!!!
( hd2 owners pls forgive me, i am lost in the flow cox i cant get hd2 here.. all shopz have hd7 and newer ones in htc's family.. but no hd2).
still i cant figure it out, wp6.5, wp7, android, ubundu, what else... every phone os is out for hd2.. but why..

just a phone, no need 2 get upset

buy a HD2

Cos da HD2 is da bomb! LOLZZ!!!!!11

.
Thread moved to off topic. Would advise you to read forum rules and post in correct section.
Failure to comply with forum rules will result in an infraction and/or ban depending on severity of rule break.

Because the HD2 is so open that it is so easy to port a whole OS to it. I regret breaking my HD2, and this phone donesn't want to break so i can buy an HD2 lol

Hey,
Why are you looking for new HD2? go to ebay india and find a used one with excellent condition.
Like inv3stment said, don't get upset. One day everything should get old and in india every electronics comes in when they are older.
I have made a nice quota:
Chinese are baller's
Westerns are batman's
Indians are fielder's
Chinese throw the ball, Westerns hit it and Indians catch it (more times it misses as well).
Thanks...
Best Regards

So this is what the forum looks like outside of OT.

good question, :/

Edit: nvm
¤The statement below is true.
The statement above is false.¤

Should I get the X8?

Well should I buy it,is it worth?
My biggest concern is that SE doesn't updates android or flash or something important for the OS.
And yes I'm a noob,never used an android.
So..tell me..does the community makes some updates?
I know there are roms,for changing looks..and is that all,does it just changes the looks or it updates the software and makes it better?
Well thank you in advance dear gentleman.

Well, I'm no going to type out a whole list but the final answer from me in my opinion is:
YES!
Leave a thanks if I helped!

Well mate...your a senior member. And I believe you,still does the community have the knowledge to make this phone awesome always.
I mean in 2 years..I don't have the funds to buy a new phone every little time?
But also, thank you!

Yes, the community has the power!
We have many great developers here on the X8 forums! Including doixanh!
He has amazing roms!
I do recommend you root your phone because most things on here nowadays need root or to have a ROM installed
Shane,
Thanks

The X8 has many advantages
- Awsome community that develops for it.
-Its a nice phone
I can list lots of more stuff
I am very happy with my X8

The x8 is a very good phone and the dev's here work very hard to keep our x8 Up to date in looks and software I have 2.3.7 with ice cream sandwich looks. And besides that my wife spent £300 on Samsung galaxy ace but my x8 gets higher score in quadrant. So yes get a x8 root it then flash a custom rom. You will be happy

Don't make that mistake !!
Am begging you ..
There are plenty of great phones out there
x8 has lost SE's concern !
THEY FORGOT IT !!
if you're gonna buy a phone
i suggest you buy the Xperia mini ..
not the x10 mini ..
the XPERIA MINI ..
a Great little phone for a great PRICE..
..
For me now ..
i have the iphone4
And that phone has blown my mind ..
so if i were you ..
x8 .. is never a choice ..
..
Thants only my opinion though ..
and BTW
The xperia mini is getting the ICS from SE
the x8 .. is not
Duh ..
what a Failure
Make.forget ..

well if u can afford i suggest u go for some other brands,but since ur new to android i guess u shud giv it a try,cos xda has great developers,and u can choose which one u prefer

I think you should really consider the newer models like Xperia Mini mentioned above.

NO! In capitals!

go for mini it should be better ... but x8 has a better community tho

Well I will wait a couple of days..maybe my network will also have the xperia mini in the offer,they said new models will arrive in this week!
They dont have it now...

We have great development that devolop for us but now the era of ics us coming...well our phone is obsolete. Even some dev's have left us cuz the x8 is old. In other words yes for community and no cuz its now a peice of crap stuck to se's shoes
Sent from my X8 using XDA App

Don't buy it.. It was good for the price when it was out but now it's old and slow.
Add a little more money to your budget and buy a phone that was released in 2011 (this is important if you want version updates from the manufacturer)..
For 130€ you can buy a gingerbread 1ghz + 512MB ram phone.. Upgradable to ICS.. That's only 30€ more from what i've paid for the x8..

It was changed by a dev in build.prop
Guys, remember that SE chose not to update old phones just like many other companies, which lead to a OS fragmentation. That's why google made an alliance with many manufacturers (including SE) that makes them update their phones at least 3 times with a major distro. This only applies to phones released after the alliance (2011). I'm not saying that SE is a good company, but if you buy a new phone from them today, it will get updated..
The phone i was referring to in my previous post was actually a SE one, not xperia but walkman.. SE Live with Walkman, which is being sold for 130€ in my country.
Same as the X8 but with:
1Ghz Scorpion CPU (which is ARMv7)
Adreno 205 GPU (Hardware-accelerated SVG and Adobe Flash)
512MB RAM
5 MP camera WITH autofocus and flash (records 720p video)
Stereo xLoud speakers (yes, speakers.. but also includes earphones of course)
Native wifi N
With gingerbread (upgradeable to ICS)

You can see here wat phones do they have..also it will get updated..I mean new phones will arrive in the next few days,so Im waiting!

Still x8 is waiting for me if I dont choose some other phone!
And you see I cant afford a expensive one..I got a budget about 120-160 dollars!

Sent from my MB860

I sold my Galaxy Tab to buy Optimus Black...
Anyways Desire HD if you want 8MP camera and 4.3 inch display & Desire S if you want front camera.
Dont buy Sony Ericsson devices bcoz its over now (only Sony from now) its support will soon be stopped by Sony (marketing strategy to increase its sale of new Sony devies).
I were you I would rather go for Desire HD.

DHD
Desire HD definitely, that was my device before OB, and now i miss that phone very much it's a great phone and it already have ICS and new HTC Sense 3.6 and 4.0 lite. DESIRE HD would be my choice

+1 for desire HD, great phone.

My God are you Impatient! I seriously doubt you know what "long time" means.
Whats wrong with people today? No patience and absolute devotion to deliberate obsolescence! "Oh there is an Update...i better get it within a few months or gtfo" and "Oh, i found something that Lags a sec.... better sell it and get something new"
I cant wait for the time when Technology gets expensive again (due to short resources or some real new inventions and not just "more HD" and "more whatever") and People start thinking with their Head instead of letting corporations think for you.
This is not about LG update Policy, its a general problem.
Sry, but i had to let it out!
PS: I bought a OB because it was cheap and got a bigger and better screen than the gt540. I owned 2 Smartphones in my life and i am still alive and well. before the gt540 i owned a Nokia 3310 for years.

Because only some people got Battery Problems here is a simple solution: smartflash the Original ROM and send it to LG for a repair. They fixed mine within 2 Days!
And if you want a long batterylife: Dont buy a Smartphone.

Mmm I agree that the OB have battery issue and yes it pisses me off too.... mm maybe you can consider having a phone with a large battery... just search at gsmarena. Of course, a smaller screen = more battery juice. So maybe consider a 3.7" screen like Motorola Defy (I had one, good battery life, and a lot of Roms!) Or even the Desire S (never used but Sense UI is great, & has front facing cam)

Display is not the problem becoz 700nit brightness hurts my eyes

It's hurting when you use it at night but when it is sunny, there you can appreciate the NOVA 700nits display. Other LCD like you have mentioned above is poor. On bright sunny days, you can't clearly see the screen. All smartphones has battery issues. That's a smartphone in nature. But it's your choice. We have our own discretion with regards to it. Moreover, I'm not here to argue with you. As to your question, I'll go with Neo V. My cousin have it and it's a great phone. Has HDMI too. And ICS was already released.

It is brilliant, so brilliant that I moved to this from my Nexus 4. Sony UI is something I can live with for a very long time due to everything being minimalistic and close to stock but better than stock in every way. If I wanted better development I would move back to Nexus 4 in a heart beat but I don't think I will ever go back to Nexus.

Its so bad that this device hasnt got the attention it deserves. I have pm krabbapel and he said he was going to make his carbon rom in the future, and doomlord said he didnt have the device so he wont be developing for it

FXP are already developing an CM rom for the ZR so this is a good start

I do agree even though SONY has its flagship Z1 Z and Z ultra, this is the sleeping giant workhorse that they need to highlight.

Same here, I came from a Galaxy Nexus (Nexus S, Nexus One, and HTC G1 before that) and although I prefer stock Android, it lacks so many features. I found Sony's UI clean and refreshing without trying too hard. I haven't found a need to root this baby yet. My ZR on 4.1 does way more than my GNexus on 4.3 (minus the root features of course) out of the box. The small apps and killer camera are the icing on the cake. With that said, I like Sony's design and UI that I'm willing to upgrade my nexus 7 to an Xperia Tablet Z in the near future.

It might be a long shot, but it was successfully done with the Oppo find 5 and the Faux Kernal...(I think!)
What they did was organise a donation fund to get Faux the phone...after that he was happy to develop his kernal for the phone.
Perhaps you could give Doomlord a poke to see if he would be willing to accept such a thing and then ask the ZR community to take part? (Or maybe ask the ZR people first to see if they would do it...then see if Doomlord would accept...)
Random idea, could work...

Nice idea for our future.

I remember DoomLord replied that he probably won't be developing for XZR since he doesn't own the device.
Not sure if donation can help that though...

with such good specs at a low price i dont get why this is a low activity device...:crying:

yeah.. i think we can blame sony itself for this problem... I really like the ZR and I have it now.. been so satisfied with it... but, yeah, too few development.. and it will get only worst because sony will be launching the z1 mini.. which is really comparable to the zr... sony is trying to follow samsung - flooding the market with too many models that are closely similar to one another..
if someone heads up a donation box for Doomlord for him to buy the zr, I would gladly donate 50 dollars...

I remember DoomLord replied that he probably won't be developing for XZR since he doesn't own the device.
Not sure if donation can help that though...

its not available everywhere, if this continues (very few users and low development) the device will end up like the acro S look at the Acro S forums+ the fact that almost no RC or RD or RT are present in XZR forum makes it more likely that development will die after fxp supports ends

there's 4 page development on Acro S! It's not much but still for a phone that expensive yet doesn't seem to have any great hardware it's quite much developments!
but for this phone that runs smoothly and better comparing to Xperia Z, ZL and has less size and less resolution (about 1/4 times which makes battery run double times) and less mass I think this device get fairly low attention comparing to others!! even for a developer this one must be much more exciting than Xperia Z!

sort of, however, sony priced the zr as if a flagship. truth to be told, it's marketed as a flagship in japan (xperia a), and it's no slug. still, with the relatively small price difference between z and zr, it's easy to see why people will get the z instead. the z is also released 6 month earlier.
besides, zr isn't released in as many markets as z.
as i've said before, since zr shares much with z, as long as development for z is there, zr will likely be supported as well, but without a dedicated dev using zr him/herself, it's hard to picture a very good development environment.
unless sony discount the zr significantly very soon. this is likely to continue.
(before you ask, japanese seem to have their own commnity and aren't participating in xda, so their large nos. mean nothing to us)

Why worry.. as long as there is Z development, we can port almost EVERYTHING to ZR (including ROM's an Kernels)
One more reason is that people who do contribute are not thanked properly I think.

totally agree

well i had a few devices before and now i have htc one s S4, galaxy s4, xperia ZR, iphone 5
before xperia ZR between all of my phone i would stand and say htc one s and iphone 5 have best batteries between my devices, between xperia x8, xperia acro S, Xperia go, xperia V, galaxy S3, iphone 5, galaxy s4, but now i can say ZR beat my one S battery and not only on battery it beats the battery on my one s it beats the performance of S4 it beats the options of all of my previous xperia phones, and when it comes to heat it even beats the hell out of my iphone too it hardly produce any heat in my hands specially compared to xperia V and galaxy s4.
this is an amazing device guys no doubt about it but why were we looking for development in the first place? when we had good hardware and sh**** software with cra*** software support we would come here and look for help, but we still have updates and support and this device is almost (not fully) complete it doesnt need overclock it doesnt need more battery saving options it doesnt need so much bug fixes.
the only thing it need is a better front camera which is impossible with firmware and kernels so most of all a few ports and customizations remains which is not totally important right?
when i first had my xperia acro S it didnt have any custom firmware for a very long time the only thing was available = rooting my device! believe me for a very long time it was like this.
so my advice is to take your time guys relax if something came out use it if not dont be disappointed you wont miss so much you still have a great device with so many good things on it.

I absolutely agree!! Even I found nothing in the kernel to tweak

This is EXACTLY why I'm still on locked BL! but anyway our device has lack of roms like Cyanogen Mod, AOSP, PAC MAN, AOSPA (Paranoid) and also bug free miui port! (which I like Pranoid and miui so much) I'm currently working on a port for miui (stock based one) but this is something hard to get! currently I'm getting bootloop at kernel and as I don't want to unlock my bootloader (I love BE2 ) it's really hard to get it booting, and I'm not sure if any developer wants to contribute or if I get any further than this but I'm trying to make it bookable at least
EDIT: good news is I just saw the miui boot screen, bad news is it's not more than 2 sec and still I don't have adb
EDIT: Do you guys have made or downloaded any rom based on stock 4.2.2? would you mind give me updater-script in your zip file /META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script
Thanks
EDIT: another good news is, got logcat ( have permission problems ) it would be great if anyone can give me an updater-script from downloaded or made stock rom (both 4.1.2 and 4.2.2 are welcome) please pm me
