what size torx screwdriver is needed to take apart the g1 (htc dream)? i would prefer to buy just the one that i needed instead of a whole set. TIA.
it might be 3
trust me buying an entire set is worth the money. i bought a 15 peice phone toolset with torx standard and phillips heads plus a few prying tools. i use that screwdriver set for my tilt, hermes, g1, and all my computers
Look on ebay for a torx set. I saw a large set with rachet end and tons of heads for 12.99 shipped or something. Came in a hard plastic case as well.

Does anybody have a arm holster? I'm looking for a way to attach the phone to me while I jog in the morning. It isn't comfortable having the phone in my pocket or even holding it for a quick run. Let me know if such a thing exist for our awesome device.

Well I use a small camera pouch wich I pull through my belt , it works great as long as you do not have a to large one...
But I do think this is actually what you are aiming for :
http://www.ebay.in/itm/Black-Horizontal-Leather-Belt-Clip-Case-Cover-Sony-Ericsson-Xperia-X10-/260867611350
Nah In all seriousness this is probably what he is looking for.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5U1K8NKze4
If you look up "Xperia X10 Sport Armband" on Ebay you can pick one up for $5-$10
correct , I thought it was a belt-holster stinky was after but after reading once more I saw "arm-holster"....
my bad....
forget about ebay and all of those others .. waste of money!
use this site :
(cant post the address) site name: Deal Extreme. Google it..
they ship from hong-kong I think, shipment is free... most of the arm bands\holsters over there are around 1-2$
basically everything you buy is made in china so you might as well pay what its actually worth...
I used this site several times and got my shipment around 2 weeks ...
and they accept pay-pal
if you dont find for XPERIA the ones for iPhone work as well .. size is the same ...
It fitted perfectly for me and I have an X10 ~_~
plus look for something which can be closed from all the sides so the phone wont slide down ...
all of the arm bands are quite the same so its waste to over pay one something like that
hope it will help...
i bought one off ebay, just search for x10 armband
it's a clear case, the plastic interferes with the touchscreen
i cut off the top slightly to allow easier access
i can't find the my exact purchase, but it's just a simple black armband, just be careful the length of the strap is long enough
as for running with it, kind of heavy, but very useful with endomondo installed to use the gps tracking

Just wanted to say thanks for the advice major9686!!!
I just purchased some stuff from extremedeal.com definately unbelievebly cheap, just hope the customs don´t charge me extra in germany
I also hit your thanks button,
glad i read this post
Was with some girls at the beach, one thing led to another and i dropped my phone in the sand...was kinda buried in it before i noticed after stepping on it.
phones perfect..just some grains embedded in the gap between screen and chassis along the edges like dirt gets stuck inside keyboard.
wondering how i can take it out.
can service center open and clean it up for me?
surprisingly body doesnt have any scratches and phone is perfectly working ...had it been iphone, would ve snapped into pieces after i stepped on it.
Buy a $5 keyboard cleaner and use it on your phone... It's only air so it won't do damage to your phone and do it while your phone is upside down...
Tech support will charge u an arm and a leg.
do u mean compressed air?
i have one of those lens blowers that i use for DSLR..but i doubt it ll work as sand is moist and stuck between the screen-chassis gap.

I think u might be able to clean that sand with compressed air, but not with toys like u shown, or that thingie the other guy suggeested. I am talking about air compressors on fuel pumps for example, for blowing flat tyres. With that kinda blowing, it just might help.

You could always open the case and clean it. Seems to be pretty straight forward. Check out some of the tear down vids on YouTube.

wouldnt that void my warranty?
seems easy to open up though.
i checked with nokia care and since there was a light leak on lcd at left bottom, they will do a repair on that plus clean up the dirt.
only drawback is that it ll take 3-5 working days...compressed air was $15 for a can and i dont think it ll remove the sticky moist sand

If Nokia is going to fix it for free, I would definitely send it back to them for repair. I can't believe the sand didn't destroy the Gorilla Glass.
I stripped one of the screws that allows me to get to the internals of the phone. I am wondering if anybody has any suggestions about how to remove it. I saw someone talk about super glue and a tooth pick dropping the supper glue in there and letting it harden the trying to screw it out. But any other suggestions would be appreciated.
Is it totally stripped? Using a screwdriver that is not correct may partially strip it but using the correct screwdriver can still get it out.

yea its totally stripped which is why I was gonna try the glue method
Superglue won't do crap. Only option other than trying a different screwdriver is using a dremmel to remove the screws head.

Yes what he said! A dremel is the best way. There's this lil ball grinder tool that would grind the head of the stripped screw off. Click here for pic. You can buy just one at most hardware stores. Buy one a lil smaller then the screw head if you can. The turn on the dremel and grind the head of the screw off! Basically you put the lil ball head in the stripped portion and grind out the center. The outer portion will come loose. The base of the screw will remain. Ask some friends to see if they already have a dremel. They are quite handy if your crafty!
Wear a headlamp for good lighting and go slow.

U beat me to it I was planning to go there dammit lol but Ill try the ball grinder......
and as far as price on a dremel should I buy off of amazon???? or are there places I can get it cheaper dont have a lot of side dough but I do want to get this fixed.
basically looking for a dremel recommendation lol just dont want to buy the wrong thing.
Thanks or all the help so far I really appreciate it.
You can use a drill. Find a bit that's the same size as the head of the screw, brace the phone good (extra hands are helpful) and drill off the screw head.
Do you have a Harbor Freight nearby? Or check their website. They have a dremmel like device that has the bits on sale just about all the time.

Hello, there is a small rubber part that fallen from my ZU's USB port. I believe it is a waterproofing part.
Has it happened to anyone else? How can I put it back? I've tried to insert in back but its doesn't stays in place no matter how I put it, was it originally glued?

Yup, same happened to me. I ordered a new one from here, but it looks like they're out of stock for the USB cover, so you'll have to buy one from Ebay. I paid £7-8 for mine.

Did you have to glue or just plug the new one?

Just pop it right in. There's a fishhook kinda shape on the end of the "plastic thread" that's holding the flap, so just rip it off and insert a new one. It can be a little hard to push the new one in, but it's very easy and straight forward. You can try it yourself right now by pulling the USB flap off and inserting it again.
EDIT: Wait a minute. Fonjoy still have flaps left. 9 of them actually, and you can order it from their eBay page:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-S...ver-1272-47-/351296156319?hash=item51cae1f29f
I purchased my USB flap from them and it's legit stuff. It took about 7 days until it arrived, so overall a good experience, but seeing you're located in France, it'll probably be a little quicker. They're based in the UK.
I've glued mine back, but won't guarantee how efficient it is in terms of waterproof. Also it was rather tricky due to small size and being careful of not over doing the glue. I would suggest you to just buy a new flap.

Yeah, I wouldn't risk it for only £10 or so, and I wouldn't trust the glue to seal it properly.

Several times? What the... lol. Do you bathe with your phone or something, because the only reason why this would happen is that the glue on the rubber gasket wears off by moist/water.
Anyhow, it's still only £10, so I'm not sure I would even bother contacting Sony, but that's up to the OP to decide. Our work is done here
Just wanted to know what you guys think about this.
The photos don't even do it justice. I looks a lot nicer in person.

No this took about 10 minutes. I do not wrap the inside of the band. I cut a price of vynl the length and width of the watch leaving about a half inch every way. Cut that in half and laid it on each ending of the opening on the game for the watch (with the watch out). Heated it and then took an exacto knife to cut it how needed. Because it's not on the bottom or inside of the band it feels just as it would without it.
