XPERIA X8 Issues

[WinterStars]

Hello Everybody,

     Is anyone experiencing some issues with the X8,

I have a few problems with the X8 which I list below.

1. Downloading MMS settings does not work.

2. Some operator messages cannot be replied to.

3. The Music player does not have Playlist!!! This is such a let down. I don't want to be scrolling all the time to play another song.

4. When the phone syncs with address book from Google it deleted the contacts!

5. In Call volume is low, and the slider displayed shows there is some more volume left but it wont move anymore.

6. Can the SW prevent crucial things from getting uninstalled. I mean there are some system apps that could be uninstalled thay may cause the phone to brick out.

7. No Alert Profile are available, either silent or audible. Nothing like discreet or extra loud.

8. The Keypad slows down so significantly when the message thread is a bit long. It gets annoying to type. Also Some words need to be unlearnt.

Am I missing something as to how the phone shold be configured or what?

Other than that, the phone is awesome, great value for money. Although I wouldn't mind paying for a much higher spec version in the same form factor. I love my X8 more than this X10 or X10miniPro.

Thanks!

Hi All of you disappointed users of SE X8,

same issues happened to me recently, I just own the phone since less than a week :-((

1. It gets black screen for no reason about a couple times per day, it is necessary to remove the battery to bring it back to life.

2. Camera is terrible at dark light and for closly / macro pictures.

3. I'm ussing it as a phone mostly, but it is everything else than a phone :-((

4. When I switch Wifi on and starting browsing into the internet, it can't last more that 4-5 hours.

5. For no reason sometimes it tells me that the memory card is broken, and nothing can be done except formating againg, I'm losing pictures  twice up to. now. The memory card is Class 6 / 8Gb it works just fine in other device.

I hope SE released 2.1 soon, and all this is repared, because I'have tried to repaire it with 1.6 reflashing it, but it did not help at all!?!?

Some of these issues you are facing I haven't experienced myself but maybe you should see if that still happens after the update. The Android 2.1 update details have been posted here http://blogs.sonyericsson.com/products/2010/11/27/update-roll-out-started-also-for-xperia-x8/ and you can check to see if your SI-Number is there for the upgrade.

1. Yes, I am experiencing this black screen issue every now and then. Wondering if I should bring it to the service centre, but will they be able to do anything?

2. Not really a bug this one, the camera specs are that way.

3. Works as a phone for me, so ok I guess.

4. Battery drains fast if you use wifi or 3G.

5. Haven't heard of this problem. Perhaps a conflict for this particular SDcard as it happens sometimes?

My incoming caller name and number not displaying.

How to fix this issue...??

i'm too having same problem. It displays unknown ...any1 has any idea hw to fix tis??

First of all you should check with your carrier to ensure that you have caller identity allowed on your contract.  The other thing that may be a problem is the set up of the numbers on the phone, which is locally unique.  I have read where people have +12345678900 and then other numbers stored as 012345678900 and the phone doesn't recognise the number as being the same or even 01234-567-8900 and the carrier sends the number as a different string.  I don't have a solution for it tho I'm afraid.
