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 LavanyaRamaraj, don't panic .... probably software glitch.

Power off (if possible), remove battery, install it after awhile, then power up.

I would suggest doing a Software repair using PC Companion or SE Update Servcice, download the latest version from here, http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/support/phones/topic/updateyourproductsoftware/xperiax8?cc=gb&lc=en. Make sure you do a backup as phone memory will be wiped out (SD Card not affected).

Good luck.

Not able to connect to internet? strange .... make sure you test your internet connection.

If your internet connection is fine, try doing software repair in Safe Mode. Reboot PC/Laptop, keep tapping F8 till Safe Mode Menu appears. Select Safe Mode with Networking, then proceed with software repair with SE Update Service. Be aware that phone memory will be wiped out completed (SD Card not affected).

Glad that your phone has been updatefd! A few suggestion for you. Try restarting both router and phone and try again. Remove and add Wi-Fi Network again. Check with a few other Wi-Fi Networks. Your decision to do a Factory data reset on phone. Update us again.
