To any X8 owners who are popping in to the forum for a peep but haven't yet joined up..... Come and Join Us!

The forum is quiet because the device is new so we need all the new blood that we can find to get this place buzzing like the other Xperia forums.

It is a great place for advice, it will be invaluable later on when the 2.1 updgrade rolls out to our phones so sign up, say hello and join in.

If you have any questions, I am usually around and I will always try and find an answer for you.

Look forward to seeing you.

Rosered (aka Suze on SE's X8 forum too!)

Hi everyone. i'm new, just got my X8. :)

Q1. Does app2sd work on x8!?

A: Nope

Q2. I was trying to install a 16mb game on my phone and it said OUT OF SPACE iv 57lb free space on my phone memory than CANT I install it?....

A:You can try to root your phone so that unwanted stock apps can be removed to free up enough memory for your game. But rooting may brick your X8, so be careful.... you have been warned!

"Sony said no froyo for x8 that means no official way to move app.on sd cuZ even 2.1 dont have that option"

Can you link the source? I believe SE didn't announce anything about 2.2 (Froyo) updates.

there is lotsa space yet it wont install... 57mb free is enough for a 16mb game...

All i can find are rumors that SE may not release froyo and its origin is based on the German roadmap for X8, which didn't state froyo at all. There is no official announcement from SE. I guess SE doesn't want to commit into developing 2.2 when 2.1 is not yet released. In contrary, a promise update would definitely boosts sales and clear up our doubts.

Hi Rosered,

i notice theres a lag in my X8 while inputing first character using virtual keyboard, is it normal?

do you have any suggestion for me to fix this lag problem


sorry for my bad english

Thanks

I have mentioned the same lag. When you start typing text the first letter freezes for a while.

Hope SE will fix it in 2.1 update.

Hello to our newest members.

I too have this lag and find it quite annoying. I did install Smartkey board pro at a small cost from the market which I find better but still not great, but it also gave me a T9 keypad for faster texting. I also have the X10 large and had a keyboard on that which is superb but I don't think they have one available for the X10 mini's and X8.

Hii rosered, thanks for the tip
But I already tried the smart keyboard pro (i forgot the version number) but it doesnt
solve the first letter lag on my keyboard.
