I made a mistake of getting the bronze G1, and have been suffering from the keyboard problem ever since. For those fortunate to have a black G1, it's when the keyboard lights up in daylight conditions the keys are impossible to see. As a work-around I use the Backlight Off program to permanently shut off the backlight, but that makes it a pain in the ass for when I actually do need it.
I was wondering if anyone attempted to replace the keys with the variant from the black G1. Also, I've seen a link to a site that sells G1 parts but can't find it anymore. Would appreciate if someone pointed me in the right direction.
Use ebay for the black keyboard.. ive seen a few people do it w/o a problem.. also for the backlight off set it as a shortcut so whenever u do need it u just hit two keys at once and bam its on (use a key that you dont need to see to know where its at)
The thread on this page about black/white custom G1 has links to an ebay seller.

do you know how horrible its goin to look when you have black g1 buttons on a silver back keyboard surround thing and a bronze g1? lol
since you are willing to void your warranty then i suggest buying the black g1 buttons and then go to colorwarepc.com
get a custom paintjob. its about 175 and take up to 3 weeks to get ur g1 back =\ go to the second website below and play around with the color schemes
i like this color scheme
MAIN : white
keyboard: purple
bottom: white
back: white
your choice tho. but i would rather deal with the keyboard visibility than having an ugly g1.
here a link to the black g1 keyboard

Hmmm a $6 keyboard and 20 minutes of assembly versus $200 and 3 weeks with no phone.
Hrmmm.

its no versus or anything..
bronze g1 with a black keyboard is just fugly. i suggested to install the black g1 keyboard and get custom paintjob to make it look nice.
Brian do you have something against everyone who changes there G1 ??
Id rather fugly than downright stupid. Paying more for a paint job than you paid for the device is retarded no matter how cute and shiny it is.
On a forum full of DIYers or guys wanting to be DIYers constantly being negative than proposing ludicrous paintsites are making you look like an ass.
Frankly if Nola was so appaled by the G1 appearance he can spend a mere 10-15$ and an hour on the net reading how-tos and repaint his whole case if he was so inclined.
My suggestion btw is get a set of small torx or borrow them. The ones I have are too large (starting with t6) and cant get a few screws open to start...grrrrr

who said i have anything against ppl changing up the g1. i only bashed on that one guy. all i said was his g1 trackball install pic was fake and he bashed on me.
and all i did here was suggest a paintjob after keyboard mod. its your preference choosing not to have a nice looking g1. i rather have a nice one. its not stupid or retarded to have a nice looking g1(again ur preference). in a society that i live in, aesthetics and appearance goes a long way. and people with money can use money.
and how am i CONSTANTLY being negative. i only was negative on that beaners thread because he started with me. and he never ever posted video proof.
and i actually had an idea to order a g1 housing n such ,and send it to a car paint and body place(i alrdy called and they said they do it for me for cheap) i probably decided on electron blue or pearl white.
Thats 2 for 2 on housing color threads you instigate.
Maybe youre quite the charmer in app threads but so far I have no idea why you say what you do.
Again for 175 the thing better sparkle with diamonds and have a handjob app. A paint job shouldnt cost more then the device regardless of your financial status.
Noone said a thing about a nice looking G1. But $175 is ridiculous.
Good luck on your paint job.

i didnt even instigate this thread. all i did was suggest and said having the black keyboard on a bronze g1 is just hideous.
and the guy i bashed on about his trackball wasnt a housing thread. all he did was get a white battery cover and change the keyboard. those things are not hard to do.
and everyone is entitled to their opinion. i just think getting a paintjob would make the thread starter g1 look better.
No more bashing, Thread Closed!
Hey,
Here are links to pictures of a "no expense spared" stand I made for my x10 Mini. I made it by bending a old Orange PAYG card over the top edge of a hot radiator in my office. Took me about five minutes.

dl.dropbox.com/u/133297/DSC04526.JPG
Tada!
PS. Sorry about the fuzzy pictures.
Nice and simple, well done.
Kiwi
Thats brilliant!! Complex problem, simple solution!! Thanx man!!
I will DIM !
But i dont know with wich card.
Gold mastercard or american express ?
Just laughing, i infortunatelly don't have a Gold Mastercard...
But i'll do it fo real...
I just made one here by copying its design, was very good, the difference was that I painted the card.
Actually I serching for a stand with USB plug (like Motorola Droid X Nightstand Kit). I don't understand why Sony not manufacturing a sexy one
However mini Xperias are so lightweight than a simple USB cord hanging in the air could solve my problem
Hello xda-developers community, I'm about to buy a new phone since my Nokia 5800 Xpress Music is just not cutting it anymore, and I have my eye on last year's Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini Pro, I fell in love with the white version but I've been reading about some sort of issue with the keys not being very easy to read under certain lightning conditions (backlight is white too), for those who have a white Xperia Mini Pro, how bad is it? does it make the keyboard unusable? lighten me up please , the other complain I hear is the cover not being like the black's soft touchey surface, instead its glossy, but I dont have a problem with that since my phone already has that kind of surface on its back and I don't like the fact it gets smudged like hell, thanks in advance for your replies.

I used to have the white one, now I have the black. Wish I stuck to the white one. Looks nicer. The keyboard on the white is not unusable. It is just a bit harder to read during the daytime compared to the black one. You'll memorize the keys eventually.

Definitely get the white, it really does look so much better. Not being able to read the keyboard in certain lighting conditions does grate one the nerves a bit ( What was Sony thinking !!! ) .. if you can't see the letters just tilt the phone.. after a while you do remember where the keys are.
Having the keyboard is freaking great.. I won't get another android phone without one.. Love the size of the mini too.
well, i have a black mini pro and i most surely dont have any problem with the keyboard. dont bother much cause you'll eventually get used to typing without looking at your keyboard like in a pc
p.s.
i'd preffer the black one though
Sony Ericsson
To much problem, I don't know which mad person made Charger and useless white keyboard.
I face this problem with every Sony Ericsson phones.
1. Charger (Either wire is to small, different type of port so If your charger port broken then you need to visit to Sony Ericsson Company)
2. Low Quality Battery
I have a Xperia mini pro and I face this problems.
Can't read keyboard text in day light.
Charger wire is too small..
Poor Battery
Out-Dated Information - I read user manual and send a email to them and they reply me "This is Sony Department, please visit here to contact Sony Erricsson", I visit and can't find a way to send a email..
Sony Erricsson sucks, next time I will purchase only Samsung Mobile.
I purchase a Sony Ericsson from their offical shop and I receive only Bill without signed/authorized Warranty card..

I have read pretty much every post in this forum over the past few days, and have finally pulled the trigger on an Xperia Z ultra in black. MY HTC One was promptly sold on eBay to help fund the purchase. Really looking forward to getting it (especially as I have borrowed a friends iPhone 4s to use while I wait - such a tiny screen). Ordered it from Hong Kong from an eBay seller, really hoping I don't get hit with a massive import tax charge (I'm in the UK). I guess only time will tell. Will post my thoughts once it arrives. Hopefully my only concern re the purchase will be dispelled (will it fit in my trouser pocket).
Wellcome to the club, you won't regret it, just out of interest what the name of the company you ordered it from, wondering if it's the same as the one I used.

So hoping I wont get stung with massive import charges as Im already struggling to justify the purchase of the phone to the wife. Although my recently bought iPad mini might soften the blow if I give it to her.

Looks sound to me, got good feedback, give the Mrs the Ipad definately, heres a link for screen protectors if you want, theres loads of screen to scratch. The only cases apart from TPU gel ones are in Hong Kong or China etc.

You've probably got it sorted but theses are good with protection layers each side.

I am close to doing the same and funnily enough I also have a HTC One but just waiting to see how much the LTE version costs and then will see if I can really justify it.
Cheers for all the help with the links guys, much appreciated. I really liked my HTC One, but I used the official hard case, and it scraped the phone. I am very anal about my tech, and loose interest if it gets marked at all.
Going to have a look at the screen protectors now, dont want the screen getting damaged.

Let me know how you get on with the charges mate, Id be very interested to find out.
I actually emailed the same company yesterday to see if they could mark the value down for customs purposes I've not had a reply though.
An update. The seller above agree to mark the price at 1/3rd of the value and mark as a gift to cut down on import charges. I still haven't bought it yet. Im trying to hold out for the C6833 LTE model.

My Xperia Z Ultra arrived this morning, two day shipping from Hong Kong to the UK, and no import charges, very happy teddy.
When the package arrived the box wasn't overly large, so was thinking the phone isn't that large, I opened the box, and boy its large, impressively so.
I work in computer forensics so am fairly techy, as are the guys I work with, but I initially I got a barrage of Dom Jolly Jokes. For those that don't know, he is a UK comedian: http://cdn2.business2community.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/dom-joly-phone.jpg
Anyway, back to the phone, and I have only had it for about two hours, so they are fairly initial impression. The phone is simply stunning, yes its large, yes Im going to probably going to struggle to get it to fit into some of my trouser pockets, yes I might look like an idiot taking a call until I buy a SBH52, but you know what, I don't care. The quality of the phone is simply stunning, screen has to be seen to be believed. Now I have had pretty much every flagship Android phone, even dabbled with an iPhone 5 for a bit, have a Retina iPad and a, typing this on a Mac Thunderbolt monitor, so I have seen many high quality screens; the Xperia Z Ultra screen, in my opinion surpasses them all. The level of detail has to be seen to be believed,and when holding it watching the Smurfs 2 trailer that came with the phone, the phone actually shudders when the volume is turned up, simply awesome, its like a built in sub woofer.
I updated the software to the latest version as soon as I switched it on, and the phone has been super quick, no lags, nothing at all.
The phone has a nice weight to it, not too heavy, but heavy enough to know that you are holding a quality piece of tech. I have had no issue with sim card installation (there is a little guide on the plastic on the back of the phone), and the cover pressed closed firmly. So far I have had no issues with screen tearing, or black screen as others have reported (I bought the black one).
I feel like I am starting to ramble a little, so I will stop here. Suffice to say that if you are on the fence, and are worried about the size like me, don't be, buy it, every other phone is now looking a little small.
I will try to answer any questions if anyone has any. Oh, and these are just my thoughts and opinions, I am not saying that they are right, and if you have a differing opinion, you are not wrong, these are simply my thoughts.

Thanks for posting your detailed first impressions. Couldn't agree with you more. I love my Ultra!
Like I said in my first impressions too, its the best screen I've seen on any mobile device. Period. Can't believe pocket now said it was 'mediocre'.... If this screen is mediocre then call me blind.
But yeah, it's funny... After I unboxed mine.. I thought the phone looked bigger than the box it arrived in haha. Optical illusion

What colour would you recommend getting? I'm torn between black and white.
Black - looks sleek and smooth and discrete. Concerned about fingerprints though
White - draws more attention probably, cant see finger prints but am worried about the white framing of the display at the front distracting from the screen.
Thoughts? Help me choose!

I went for black, I normally go for white in phones, but I personally think that as its such a big device the all blacks makes it all the sleeker. I have to e honest though, I nearly got it in white, but also felt that the white would appear larger. Probably a silly notion, but hey. Phone totally rocks.
Are the fingerprints on the black as bad as they make out on the video reviews and hands ons?

Yeah the black one is a fingerprint magnet but mainly on the back. The front display seems to be more resistant to oil etc.
I bought the white one because I liked the silver framing and I thought it gave the device a more defined look

I'll go with the black. I like white phones, but they have to be 100% white (including the front), or else i think it looks a little off. The black is classy and minimalistic, while the zebra version is more stylish i guess (depending on who you ask).

Help, please. I bought a Sony Xperia Z2 yesterday. But today I just noticed that the bezels (left side, and right side) are not even. They are not balanced. The difference is very small, measuring only around 0.05 cm. It's almost unnoticeable, but what's seen cannot be unseen. Please, help. Any one experienced this as well or something? Should I ask for a replacement? PLUS. When it's brand new, it should come with preloaded stuff, right? Like, The Amazing Spiderman 2 trailer (My brother bought one months ago and I saw it), and some scenery pictures from Sony. But this one didn't. It seems like it went through a factory reset (plus 'Erase SD contents') before it was given to me. PLEASE HELP ASAP.

They look the same to me bro, take off your foil an enjoy in your phone man. And for preloaded stuff, it's different from market to market. And wrong section for questions, please next time post in Q&A section. :good:
Oh, sorry.. I'm kind of in a panic.
And, no. They aren't the same. I even used a ruler. There's a 0.05 cm difference.. I don't think this is normal. This doesn't look like OmniBALANCE to me..

Ive replaced the screen on my z2 a few times now, my suggestion would be warm up the sika-flex seal (adhesive behind the screen that holds it in) by using a hairdryer down the edges of the screen and phone then get 2 suction cups and twist it till its straight and let the seal cool down, itll retain waterproofness too.
My battery panel broke while I was doing my last screen replacment so I did this haha. Just dont jam anything down the side of the like a blade or something to set it or the screen WILL crack(experience)

I can see the difference too (However, after taking a better look, it looks like the screen protector is giving such a visual experience). You may try to exchange it to a new one, but idk if it will work.
And about the apps, it depends on branding, so it's not sony dependant.
