Hi
I'm looking for teardown or disassembly instructions for the sony ericsson xperia active (st17i)
I got this phone and was super stoked on it for about 9 days, then a fat crack showed up in the "gorilla glass" digitizer. Neither sony nor the ebay retailer wanted to warranty it, as this is 'accidental damage' so I bought a new digitizer, but am stuck on how to install it. Has anyone done this, or found a link to such a file?
(funny, i found all those videos of people driving jeeps over this phone or wailing on it with tools only after this one broke. Why isn't mine that tough??)
Sorry if this question has been addressed, couldn't find it anywhere.
thanks!!
yeah... i dont think our mass product st17i is the same tough as seen on youtube. I think they are just for adv purpose

Anybody have any idea where to get a belt clip horizontal case with magnetic closure for this device. I'm using my Arc case from PDair but it is a little snug lengthwise.
I want to buy a PDair case but it isn't available yet.

Don't touch my phone then stay away.
Did you find a case, man this phone doesn't fit in the PDair at all (top end sticks out) dang it!

No case yet. Went to Best Buy and their selection was horrible. Everything is too small. I'm still using the PDair from the X10 but it just doesn't look right.
I have a Samsonite case (a simple belt clip one, but rather strong) that I have left over from my X10.
I'm not sure if the demensions are okay for the Xperia S, as (yes i know its a bit dumb) I am not sure the exact dimensions the phone :/
anyways, I have something similar to the one linked below:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsonite-M...CJHA/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1331198160&sr=8-5
I will update this tomorrow when I get my phone in. I fear it may also be a little snug lengthwise :/
UPDATE:
Got the phone, but it won't fit :/ so my search continues for the perfect case.
We already have a thread here for cases so use that instead of opening a new thread up.
Ok so Ive been playing Draw something on my Prime with just my finger and i figured i would get better results with a stylus.
before buying one I borrowed a friends Targus stylus to try it out and to my surprise, my experience didn't change at all with the stylus.
i was really disappointed with how the stylus interacted with the Primes touch panel. so many times i tried to draw a curved line nice and tight wouldn't result in skips and breaks in the line as if i lifted the stylus from the panel but i didn't.
i went back to my buddy and had him open draw something on his iPad2 and we used the same stylus to draw on his touch panel and it was like night and day difference i couldn't believe it.
now before i start thinking that the Primes touch panel isn't as sensitive to stylus's as the ipad I need to ask a few questions.
first, do you think the targus stylus (has a rubber flexible rounded tip) is more streamlined for the iPad and that is why it didn't work the same on my Primes touch panel?
Or are the Primes touch panels just not as sensitive as the iPad in regards to interacting with stylus's?
I know a lot of people stylus's and if there was a sensitivity problem we would have heard or read about it by now so its possible I need to find a stylus that is designed specifically for the Primes touch panel?
Download touchscreen tuner off the market. It is designed to fix the stylus issue.
edit: previous poster found good solution.

I made quite a few post replies about this hehe. Here is some info about it:
Hand Writting test. I just copied someone elses post with my prime using the Touchscreen settings, settings in there if you wanna see them and try them.
I posted almost the same thing here too
hi, ive looked through ebay and ive found this screen repair service on ebay for 40 pound, they replace just the glass, they say aslong as your touch and lcd are fine then this will fix your cracked screen, has anyone used this service? he seems to have good feedbacks on the repair, would anyone else trust him and send there phone away? im a bit worried about sending my phone away lol but i really need it fixed and 150 pound for the screen lcd and digitizer is far to much.

I have seen positive posts about this guy in the past, I'm sure it's the same one, worth a go at that price

Don't forget to do complete data wipe and remove sd card before you send off
Well obviously his feedback is good so thats always a good start.
My advice is to send it to him recorded delivery so then you can track it online and know when hes got it.
Also pay for tracked delivery to return the item back to you aswell.
Also as mentioned above make sure you do back everything up to a computer first and do a complete factory/data wipe aswell so all your personal stuff is safe.

thanks for the replies, think im going to go for it, i think i am going to install the avast app aswell so if he does start trying to steal my phone i will just lock it instantly and it will be useless to him, and track it through gps and inform the police haha he probably will not be long in returning it when i do that

I don't think you need fear that, it's how good a job he makes of it, and feed back seems pretty good:thumbup:

Hey guys, my back of xperia just break from nothing, start break alone... so i go aliexpress and buy one with NFC and install, next day, the first touch he recives damn brokes again...
So i need know if someone know where i can buy a original part, or a realy good back glass for my phone.
Sorry bad english.
Thanks for help
Buy a white one - they're plastic not glass so shouldn't be fatally affected by your clumsiness
and where i find in plastic? i just see in "glass"
Hey,
I got one from a seller on ebay that sold refurbshed parts. Easy to fix, NFC works perfectly and as it's an OEM part it's as tough as you'd expect.
If you need a link PM me, I'll try to reply ASAP.
Alex
It turns out the white plastic one I referred to is a crap non-OEM part.
Sorry for my previous misinformed post.
Try Witrigs. At least they're being transparent as to which of their parts are OEM and which ones are third party "custom" components.
Has anybody find it?
hi guys! Has anybody find that damn back glass? If yes, give me a link please, tried to search it myself, but no result, only crappy copy( if anybody has a link to ref parts, please, pm me.
Thanks.
