    Thread Does the official W8 ROM need a specific baseband or anything?

    I want to install the W8 ROM on my X8. At the moment the phone is completely stock. Do I need to install a certain baseband firmware for it to work, or do I just go through the normal rooting and flashing process? First time flashing this specific phone and I don't wanna screw it up! Thanks :)

    Thread Xperia X8 vs. Hero?

    As the title says, I need to choose between the two. I have the X8 now, but I know someone who'll take it off my hands for a good price, and I'm wondering if it's better to buy the older, but higher spec, Hero? I prefer HTC Sense to Sony Ericsson's UI and the Hero has a superior camera...

    Thread Getting rid of the GMail account but keeping the rest of the Google stuff?

    Just got an X8 and all is going well, but I prefer the Sony Ericsson e-mail app to the stock GMail one. Obviously I need the Google Account to stay there for the Android Market and such, but is there any way I can just "turn off" the GMail part? Thanks!

    Thread Wiping the phone for eBay sale

    I'm sticking my G1 on eBay soon. How do I make sure it's wiped properly before sending it off? At the moment I'm thinking I'm gonna wipe the SD, flash Superwipe, then flash CM6 all over again so it's a completely clean phone. Shouldn't be any problem there, right?

    Thread Does it have the SD failure issue?

    I've read that a lot of people have been having a memory failure issue with Galaxy S phones, but I've also read that different memory which isn't effected by the issue is used in the Nexus S. Is this true? I read the FAQ thread and saw no mention of SD issues, so I assume it doesn't effect the...

    Thread Engadget: Android sends texts to wrong people, murders your family while you sleep

    http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/31/android-still-has-horrible-text-messaging-bugs-thatll-get-you-f/ Is this really a widespread problem, or is it more Engadget anti-Android propaganda?

    Thread iPhone to Desire HD switchers

    If you've switched from an iPhone to a Desire HD, what do you think of it? Do you regret the decision or are you happy with it? I've been delaying my choice of Android phone to wait for the Nexus S, but that's last year's hardware at a rip-off price, whereas I've had a play with a DHD in a shop...

    Thread [Q] Poll on experiences with HTC customer service

    So, I've read both horror stories and fairytales about HTC's customer service, but it's skewed; it's obvious that people are more likely to make a thread when they've had a problem with something. So, I've done a poll. If you could take a second to participate it'd be very helpful. Thanks! :)

    Thread Best e-mail app, best browser?

    I'm planning to switch from an iPhone over to the world of Android. The two things I use my phone for the most are e-mail and internet, so I wanted to know how good the internet and e-mail apps are, or if you prefer a third party option from the Market. For example, is the HTC Mail app better...

    Thread Best microSD? What class should I go for?

    Since I may get an HTC Desire HD to replace my slightly ageing iPhone 3GS, I'll be needing at least a 16GB microSD to store my stuff on. I was looking through Amazon and found a 16GB SanDisk one for £22, but it's only class 2 which I understand is pretty crap, right? I've had experience with...
