I installed GingerDX weeks ago.
I was quite happy with the results and I rarely found glitches with the software. Overall, the experience was great and I forgot the I am using an unofficial software for my Xperia X8. Great job guys!
But one problem bugs me. It is about my internet connection through my mobile network.
My Carrier is Globe Telecom, and I happened to call (customer service) them for about 5-8 times by now, and they manually configured my internet account for my phone. All the APN and necessary information has been configured, and my simcard is ready to be used for the internet. I have extra load (I'm using prepaid); but I can't connect to the internet. My "Data Enabled" is checked and so is the Power Control icon on my homescreen.
Globe said that it would be a problem in my phone and not from theirs.
I'm just asking...how can I fix this kind of problem. I always restart my phone and it does nothing. The E logo (with the arrows pointing up and down) doesn't appear in the notification area, even though I am getting a decent phone signal and clicking on the browser.
Please help me. Please. Thank you!
What is the version you are using?
There's a small test you can do in some free time. Back the GDX up using xrecovery or CWM, and install another ROM. Other than GDX or a newer/older version of GDX and check whether the problem is still there.
Put your SIM card to another phone and check from there if possible. If this step does not work, ask your operator's Contact center to hook you up with someone from engineering and ask him whether your number has been authorized for the APN you are using (this cannot be done by frontline staff!)

I'm still a beginner here. What's CWM?
Can you please give me some other "stable" OS for my Xperia X8 to test with? I would be grateful if you do. I'm using the version 17 of GingerDX, though.
Thanks for the fast help!
CWM= Clock Work Mod recovery
Anyways, try any ROM and see whether data works and then you can start debugging GDX's data issues. Try a Froyo ROM like FroyoBread or KuyaDroid (which is Gingerbread).

hello there after that i have installed a custom rom in my xperia x8 by android 2.1 to custom rom gingerfloyo 2.9 the phone have a problem:
when i connect the phone to the charger, the phone always restart instead shutdown it...
help I do not know what to do
if something help me a downgrade the phone to 1.6 i can update the phone with seus and the problem should deleted...correct
sorry for my bad english
You should be able to downgrade it with any regular flasher for the x8. I did it too, when i was a newb in rooting and using cm's. You just need a firmware flasher and the x8's original 1.6 firmware. Anyway, that's what i had used xD
Sent from my Xperia X8
Why do you want to go back to 1.6?
If I understood you right, you have GingerFloyo right now, so you can also go back with flashing your 2.1 backup with xrecovery, or, if you haven´t made one, you can go back to 2.1 via PCC/SEUS.
so now i have 2.9 floyo however the bug there is also the in my beck up of 2.1...
Georg1992ad i need a firmware flasher and the x8's original 1.6 firmware

again thank to all..
i don't know what i could make without your help
I´ve looking for a downgrade for my X8 until i found this post with some similarities mith my case, I hope u dont mind that I asked for some help in the post of someonelse
Well, I upgrade my X8 to MiniCM6-1.0.1 and to do this i follow a tutorial on youtube, but after root my phone and installed a baseband that ends in ...xxx015 in order to install the MiniCM6-1.0.1 I realized that my phone couldnt conect to internet in 3g mode.. someweeks after that i tried to recover 3g mode by installing Hackdroid Floyo 2.2.5 and I discovered that i completely lost conection to internet (even EDGE and GSM mode) and since then I´ve trying to Downgrade my phone with SEUS and PCC but both dind´t work
So finally im trying to downdrade my X8 with Falshtool but when the program is going to start flashing an error appears and this is what it says
ERROR - Error in processHeader
ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted
Please could u help me to find a solution to this?
Thanks for ur time
Have you repaired with pc companion yet and why are using old roms?
Sent from my E15 using XDA App
Yes, i tried PC companion and it did not work y also tried to repair with SEUS but also did not work.
To be true i didn´t know that MiniCM6-1.0.1 was old... my BIG mistake was to follow a tutorial video on youtube to upgrade my X8 from 2.1.1 (original firmware) to 2.2.1 without looking for more detail information
When I installed the hacdroid version and after config the APN I was able to conect to internet just in EDGE mode, but one day after (and until now) I lost conection to internet in anymode My provider gave me some manual configuration and even resets my service but it didn´t work
Any idea to solve internet and flashtool problems?
Thanks a lot!

Dude! I had the very same problem as you when I installed MINICM6 back in August, and yes, I did watch that video showing how to install it.
But anyway, I repaired my phone and I'm on GDX since

U said big mistake without looking at more detail info.. so what was that big mistake? Missing requirements, steps, etc?
Who knows Maybe we can find clue there...

When I said Big mistake I mean that i didn't look for more information about using ROMS i didnt know anything about kernels and basebands and looking in the web i found this amazing comunity and I'm learning a LOT about roms basebands kernels.
Well looking here (in the forum) i found a solution to my internet problem (actually I copied just APN type from a minixperia x10) and for the 3g issue i already changed to the correct baseband, tomorrow i will tested if the 3g is already working (I hope so)
And now i just looking for a stable ROM because the MiniCM6-1.0.1 is kind of buggy
Thanks to all for your time
---------- Post added at 10:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:11 PM ----------
To be a litle bit more specific about the error, It was that i just followed all the steps in the 4 videos of a tutorial on youtube, I mean I never asked myself if that steps were the most adecuate for my device (obviusly it wasn't) The autor of the videos gave a link with a baseband for a E15i and my x8 is an E15a and for that i lost 3g
And about the internet problem... until now i dont know what was the exactly error, I mean what could happened to miss the internet conection form one day to the next day... The APN that I configured myself was working in MiniCM6 and just for one day worked on floyo hackdroid 2.2.5 and next day no internet conection (SO WEIRD) and just copying the APN type from other device (same provider) everything works fine until now.
Hello there.
I have a big problem, recently i decided to root my X8, install xRecovery, and finally flash GingerDX v019 so i could enjoy the benefits of 2.3 on my phone, since SE's costumer service and device support just suck.
Everything is working just fine, including wi-fi and data transmission, bluetooth, etc, except for one big thing: the phone calls (incoming and outgoing)
The weird thing is, after i reboot the phone, i can make or receive one call, but just one... after that if i try to call anyone it just says "call ended", and if someone tries to call me, they hear the service providers message instead of my phone ringing.
I have GingerDX v019 with no add-ons and stock kernel, i've installed a few apps but no task manager/killer... Help?
Thank you in advance...
P.S: I can however send and receive sms's without problem, and i've installed Go Contacts EX/dialer as suggested in another thread to a user with this problem on GDX v015.
The only way for now that i found to prevent this bug is to have the data connection always on (on stock 2.1 i turned everything off when i was not using and never had a problem)
Full wippe install again gdx via cwm full wippe and it should work
Sent from my X8 using XDA App
I installed via xRecovery, you think that might be the problem?
Yes it is. You must install gdx via cwm. Try and you will see that everything work
Sent from my X8 using XDA App
It will be a major pain in the a** installing and configuring everything again, but if that's what i have to do... Thank you very much
UPDATE: Just installed via CWM, and my little-big bug seems to be dead and buried, Thank You once again :-D
No problem....

Hey, I am wondering if you can help. My mate just got an X8 from ebay but cannot make calls from it, much like what is described above. Is there a guide on how to fix this?
Thanks in advance for your time and help
Cheers
Chris
The problem i had was caused by changing the software and flashing a custom rom the wrong way. If your mate cannot make calls from it and the phone is in stock condition (with the original software), then the problem is the phone itself. I suggest a complaint to the person that sold the phone and if that does not solve the problem, report the person to eBay. If the payment was made via Paypal, the refund is almost immediate.
Hi,
on my xperia X8 i was changing ROM's to test them and i was using GingerDX for a while. It was good, everything was working like a charm. Then my friend poked me with CM9. This one
As noted in that thread i needed nAa 11 kernel that i installed (correct if Install is wrong term). Kernel was installed nicely. CM ROM from that thread was working nicely, as stated camera and wifi don't work. But i also don't have network. My SIM card is locked by provider, i enter passkey and i get standard unlock message. That's OK and it proceed to home screen. Then i notice that i don't have network signal and i got SIM icon on my status bar (as noticed in Pic's).
So firstly, to see what is what:
I guess my phone is bricked, i bricked it lots of times and fixed with SEUS.
CWM is 5.0.1.2 and also xrecovery (i can't remember version)
I put another kernel, something "linux" something...
After "IDK what not" i tried S1tool, SEUS again and again and again and still nothing. I manage to take it back to stock rom with nAa kernel, nothing. Stock ROM with stock kernel, nothing... On stock ROM 2.1 i get to unlock SIM, do that and it just shows status bar, no menu, no widgets, no home screen, not even launcher. On status bar: SIM icon, signal icon (empty), battery ofc.
On that CM9 ROM i can do everything but still no network and WiFi don't work as mentioned and stated in Luke's thread.
So i cant go on nor back...
I'm working on phone while i write this and i have no clue how i made it to work...
It's fixed, on stock rom but network is working.
So, i wanted to ask you how to fix it but now i want to ask:
What did i do to make it not working? and
HOW did i fixed it?
I've been working on it for like 20 hours and i have no idea what did what and when.
If you need some pictures i will be happy to post them for more information on the problem.

I dont have that ROM on my Phone but i saw some ppl fixing it by simply going to Security --> Simlock --> Unlock SIM Card (or something like that).
As far as WIFI is concerned i am sure u know that it needs static IP.

I beleve it was radio. I now installed both GingerDX and that CM. I have network now. And WiFi works with static IP. Thank you for posting
Update: Solved (just reflashed the ROM)
I have a problem here with my X8. So, after I have successfully unlocked my bootloader without the network problem, now I have a wifi problem. So what I did was: rooted my phone, unlocked the bootloader, applied a nAa kernel (before that I tried the MiniCM9 with the ICS nAa kernel), then I applied the custom ROM called JoyOS... In both cases(ICS-MiniCM9, and JoyOS) I have the problem when connecting to a wifi router, I cant use it. I know it sounds strange but I can connect normally with the wifi but still I cant use it... I mean when I try to open google.. or use anything with wifi (like syncing) I just cant... it says unable to connect to the internet. I am thinking its the unlocked bootloader problem.. but I am not sure. Can someone help with this please.
Maybe just reset router...
lol???
Thats not a problem with the router... I am using the internet via that router writing this reply.. please dont be stupid and post something smart.
EDIT:
Still waiting for a reply.. I really need a solution for this..
Have u tried connecting to a totally different router cuz that may be ur problem, I have a friend who had a similar problem with an android tablet that didn't like his router so give it a go it won't hurt to try
P.S did it connect when it was stock?
Sent through my X8
it did connect when it was on stock ... and I am not sure but I think it actually was working a little while I was using the MiniCM9 ICS ROM and on the same rom actually the problem has occured. Now I am not sure if it stopped working because of the unlocking and applying a new kernel or something else happened in the mean time.. Could it be I disabled wifi somehow? somewhere?
What rom are you using? i only say that because when i swapped from minicm9 to semc debrand engine both wifi and 3g stopped working but when i switched back to minicm9 it worked perfectly again.
Try a Full wipe + wipe dalvic cache (or whatever it is) and install the rom again, hope this helps
Now trying to flash miniCm9 again.. we ll see now.. will update in a few minutes
Update:
Great, , just flashed the ROM again and now working well. Thanks anyway for helping.
No problem glad i could help
Hi guys
I own a Lg Optimus 2x P990 and I am currently running the JB CM10 Build by tonyp.
In the past I ran ICS builds like Django Manouche and other cm10 builds like Paranoid Android.
The cm10, builds are running very well on my device but there is a possible bug ... I use my phone during the day, and if I send, receive messages I usualy keep my connection with the mobile network.
When I wake up (phone is inactive for several houres) , and I just unlock my phone, the network bar is full, but I can't send or receive messages. When I go into Settings and try to search for a network I get " Error while searching for network ". A simple reboot can fix this problem.
If I don't use my phone often during the day, It does the same. I unlock after a few houres, statusbar Icon is full, but no network available... (so if someone tried to reach me by calling or texting, I can only see it after a reboot.)
The second thing is that I always have R above the network signal, even when I am not roaming at all ...
I tried to change my baseband when I was on Paranoid Android, but that didn't work ...
There is NO problem with my mobile network on the ICS build (like django manouche) , but the ROM isn't fast enough and I like stock android more ... ( I think)
I always did a full wipe, and followed the instructions ... I am on the latest Kowalski Kernel at the moment...
If I erase internal memery, could that do something?
Thanks for your time.

That is strange. I am running cm 10.1 too and I have sometimes problems with logging in to operator after reboot. But your problem seems bigger. Did you tried to turn on/off mobile data (dont know how it's in english version)? And try to change to 2G/3G, maybe that might solve something. Or maybe there is an bug in new Bootloader (if you ran django mandouche and tonyp's), so if that doesnt help to you, try to downgrade to old BL

Thanks for the reply ! My phone came with the old bootloader, and I installed Nova HD CM9 on it and had the same problem.
I need to try the 2g/3g settings...
When the error occures, I can try to turn data on/off all I want .. only a reboot helps ...
Django is on the new bootloader, and worked fine ... So I believe it's a CM problem... ?
I also dialed *#*#4636#*#* and changed to WCMDA Preferred (but didn't help)
Any more advice ?
APN - check it!
also.
try different base band.
try 30b

I also have this problem, tried every possible combination of baseband and ril, still couldn't solve it.
Ended up returning to v30b ICS, where the problem doesn't occur.
