ROMs are killing me - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi all , i am using GDX v21 it's great and all but the problem is ...
-it keeps rebooting by itself!
-at times when the screen timeout it wont turn on ...i am forced to remove the battery to reboot the phone
at first i thought it'a bug so i full wiped my phone restored with tita backup
about a day later boom! it happened again!! AND I CANT TAKE IT!!
it happens when i
-open wifi
-downloading songs
-or open wifi in general
THAT IS WHY IT'S SO ANNOYING I AM DOWNLOADING SONGS AND IT REBOOTS i lost all my progress!! ARRR
so is there a solution?? or is there going to be a bug fix in the next GDX version?
i am considering a new rom ...what is the most stable rom out there? i tried froyobread 2.2 but the link i am unable to enter ...help please!

have you wiped it WITHOUT doing a titanium backup?? it could be an app causing it.
also what kernel version you running?

gingerxperia v13/14

erm..imma using stock kernel~ i full wipe throught cwm ...i cant enter xrecovery too with GDX ...i love GDX really...but this is quite serious

have you done a re-wipe and installed NOTHING? dont do a titanium restore.

tried before when the 1st time this problem occured...back then i have no tita but no use

is your bootloader unlocked? you could try a custom kernel it might help. or you could try a different rom to see if you still get the same problem.
also do you know how to use ADB? if you do could you do a adb logcat -d logcat.txt and upload it for us to see?

no no unlock bootloader for me! hard brick my phone once and dont dare to do again ...

oh..i know whats adb...u mean terminal emulator? type that code in my w8?

it's too simple mate...
just use GDX v20 first...
heppy new year...

LOL good idea!! hahaha! say if it happens again i will flash it to v20!!

and......??

just hit thanks button twice....

basically if you want to have a gingerbread rom try kuya droid
ginger DX is full of bugs.
and if you want a really stable rom try froyobread
you can download it from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1079463

SE Xperia X8 Gingerbread ROM

Alright , I'm tired of looking , but I can't find a thread , answering my question. Sorry if this is a repost.
Which is the most stable Gingerbread ROM for my SE Xperia X8 E15i ?
I want a very stable and fast version. (Most Important For Me)
I will use only the Stock Kernel.
It should be virtually bugless.
I would prefer a less battery-drain ROM.
Please provide an exact name for the ROM. Download Links will be appreciated.
Thanks

I still prefer GingerDX. It will work nicer if you can use Alfs kernel
for me gingerxperia is best of all on stock kernel.
gingerdx is very very laggy.
I'm using GingerXperiaRay + nAa kernel, but i don't think it works with stock kernel.
With the alfs kernel i was able to OC more than with the nAa kernel..
But tell me please, why won't you switch kernel?

why they make **** like this?
just leave the bootloader alone..In my case, I'd hardbricked my w8 3times..
success only once..then when I tried to do it again my phone died man..
can't get into flash mode anymore...
sent to vendor (lucky they didn't know what I'd done)
then tried to unlocking boot loader again, and died again
(only 30miniutes the phone on my hand after take from SE)
and brick again (after 1hour took from SE)
lucky they can't detected what I've done..
on my 2nd bricked my w8 running e15i rom
heheheeee...now waiting my phone comeback!!
and I swear I won't to play with bootloader on w8 anymore
b'coz lucky on 1st time only, maybe when i sent to repair they make the security hole or whatever....

1. Flash back stock kernel using "Repair" option in SEUS or by using Flashtool
2. Download S1Tool from this post: S1Tool
3. Turn off your phone.
4. Launch s1tool.exe in the folder you extracted s1tool to.
5. Click on Restore button and then connect your phone to the PC in flash mode (press and hold back button while connecting your phone to the PC).
6. Wait for the process to complete. Congratulations! You now have relocked your bootloader!
7. To check, open s1tool.exe, click IDENTIFY button, turn off your phone, connect it in flash mode to the PC (press and hold back button while connecting your phone to the PC. The LED on your phone should flash green).
8. Continue holding back button until there is some output.

GingerXperia works very nice with stock.kernel
Battery Drain
GingerDx V021 With Stock Kernel is giving me a lot of battery drain , even after battery calibrations. Wifi/3G are off ,background data and sync both are off... Display light is minimum. No background tasks running.
The battery reduces by 1% every 38seconds
No relief after reboot
Switching back to Froyopro V1.1

One thing I forgot to mention... I use SPB Shell 3D as my launcher...
Hope that doesn't cause the drain.
Well , there's no drain on my froyo ROM because of SPB Shell 3D

Heipp bro! its happen to me before, i guess i've figured it out, its happen when your phone apps still "Running" using your SD card, try to close all running app [app you installed to SD Card i mean] plug usb again. see how it works. or try Turn off usb debugging mode [Untick]

Not really sure 11w18 safe or not bro, some people said they get hardbrick
ANYTHING UNDER 11W29 IS safe, so 11w18 is fine. people who were on 11w18 bricked cause they didn't read the instructions properly

hello, i had the same problem once with CM7. Go on to settings-wifi and networks-wifi settings then press the options button on your phone then click advanced, then click wifi sleep policy and click NEVER.
IF that ^^ didn't work then go to recovery mode and do a factory wipe.
IF that ^^ didn't work then just install a different rom.
thank if it helped

On the contrary, I recommend Alfs v08a CM7.
It has MUCH better overall performance than nAa and benchmarks prove it.
I've never had a problem with Alfs and I've tested both kernels on many ROMs, so I know.
no improvements frens....wat to do...should i change the kernel??? if yes then plz send me link of that kernel....
How about posting your present kernel?
Anyway, there shouldn't be problems with kernel if you use Alfs CM7 v08a or nAa 13/14
Do you have a .vcf backup on your card? That's necessary in order to be able to restore contacts.
As for the wifi...maybe even a kernel problem. Try reflashing one of the aforementioned ones

A-B works,camera isn't laggy,+ other things I don't remeber. I was on Alfs too but now I'm on nAa 14 for long time. And battery is very good-about 5 days!

That counts for Alfs too! I had nAa for a long time and decided to switch to Alfs because it performs much better in benchmark, esp. the uncapped version. No problems with nAa kernel, but. Alfs is still fully functional and very fast.

i had the same problems. here's what i did:
For contact problems:
1. wiped out everything in recovery (full factory reset)
2. re-installed joyos
For wi-fi (do this after you have re-installed joyos because if not you will have the same wi-fi error):
1. turn on wifi and try to download anything from google play
2. turn of your phone while your wi-fi is on and DLing.
3. turn on phone and see that its downloading.
hope this helps, if not please don't blame me.

If you get the same problem on the stock rom, maybe it could be SE fault.
But probably, try these:
````Press Thanx please````
1. If you didn't full wipe after installing, do that. Maybe it could fix the bug
2. Did you try to tweak the build.prop or something related to wifi? Maybe that's the problem's root. Try to re-install the rom.
3. Try to install the other versions of froyobread like v023e OR get a stable rom like GingerDX latest release (i know froyobread is also good but still, as u have a bug).
4. Did you try to reboot with wifi on? Try that! these things work sometimes~ :good:

Yes, this could also do the trick Luck is what can solve your problem... :fingers-crossed: } fingers crossed! xXx
Delet all the wifi connections that have been saved.. wifi probs happens if you have 3 or more wifi connections remembered by phone.. do forget all the connections then try to search after a reboot..
