[Q] Buying new Xperia x8

Hello,
I am thinking of buying a new Xperia x8.I am a great fan of SE as my previous and present phones are SE.However,I have seen that SE isn't producing quality products these days,rather isn't giving justice to their customers.They have stopped official x8 android updates.I am extremely fond of modding the firmware for changing fonts,battery icon etc. and previous SE assisted that.
I also want good sound quality.
What do you feel,shall I buy Xperia x8 or any other ?If other which ? It shall have approx same cost.
Thanks a lot.

i got a desire of ebay for £140, if thats too much i,d c how much you can get a zte blade for, hell of lot better than a x8, or even if you can afford it, an x10

ZTE Blade is Dell XCD35 in India if I am not mistaken.Is it better that SE Xperia x8 ?? And what about support and official updates ? Can it be updated to Android 3.3 in future ? What about modding support et.,coz SE has many users so good support for unofficial hacks etc.

Please suggest.
Xperia mini vs HTC Wildfire,which is better ?? Coz Xperia mini has resistive touch screen. Also comment on sound quality !
Thank you !

i would suggest x8, it's cool..you can do custom ROM in it and get 2.3.5 gingerbread version

i think zte Blade is more cost-effective.you know ,x8 is so small,and hardware is too old

I'm mostly buying Xperia mini !

Good is good.
But Sony don't get update Miro,Tipo,E and J.
Because Qualcomm Snapdragon S1
(Miro ,Tipo,E ,J's processor) don't support OpenGL ES 3.0.
The sound technology on Nexus 7(2013) only on it.
Conclusion is Qualcomm Snapdragon S1 device don't got Android 4.3.

That's not true. It is not mandatory that devices support OpenGL ES 3.0 to get updated to 4.3. If they don't, they will stick with OpenGL ES 2.0 but get all other features.
However, I agree that these devices might not get updated do Android 4.3 because Sony won't want to update low-end devices. Probably they will give it to the Xperia T and S and that's it.

I'd say I have the same issue. I happened to have this smartband as gift from company's annual party. I tried with my Huawei b199 smartphone didn't see this being detected at all.
Guys from Huawei forum replied to me that their UI (Emui 3.0) does not support BLE (bluetooth low engery) device. but will add it in the future. Also for BLE devices like this commonly the smartband's app would handle the syncing. However sony one doesn't
I'd see Xiaomi M4 had the same issue cuz I got my own Mi4. This smartband is a cripple from birth. Trying to sync it to any non-Sony device is a waste of time.
Hope it helps.

If you want it to work like the one sold in Brazil, you will need to flash the proper Brazilian firmware for it.
So you will need XperiFirm to download the firmware.
Then you need newflasher to flash it.
The US firmware has the fingerprint reader disabled, which is why it doesn't work on the device you bought.
