Yes Of course thank you very much mailthesauce, but the problem is i don't know how to change, any guide?
i want to ask another question, will it have any inside damages after falling down, damages like getting less camera quality and so on?
There is a Guide somewhere but I don't know where to find it anymore.. Anyways.. It's really easy and I tried it myself. You have to pull the bottom cover a bit so that there is a little gap between the transparent strip and the cover. Then you can unclip it with your fingernails or a guiter pick.. Go all the way around until all the clips are unlocked.. See my attached pictures below

Hey,
I want to change the complete cover of my neo (looks kinda wasted atm
I have found this Video below how to disassemble the phone,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOE_Z-y8FUs but my Problem is that i only find new covers without the glass...
http://www.ebay.de/itm/Sony-Ericsso...esignfolien&hash=item257260a639#ht_1585wt_906
or only the glass http://www.amazon.de/Sony-Ericsson-...F150/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1341754831&sr=8-1
Can i now buy only the cover and carefully press the glass of my Neo out and after that glue it with the new cover ?
Hope some1 has better knowledge and can help me out
I´d say: take your's apart and see how it's glued together.
Personally I really want to replace the worn out buttons, but parts are expensive.

My buttons are completly worn off almost too. Sucks!
Dust is your biggest problem if you gonna open your phone, so do it somewhere "clean place"

Hey guys,
I wrote this in the Q&A section and I think this could be interesting for some of you..
If your bottom cover is broken or makes some stupid noises you can simply replace it.. You can buy replacement covers at ebay and also other sites, for example:
http://sparepart.dk/en/sony-sony-ericsson-1629/sony-xperia-s-100338/spare-parts-100339/
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-Bu...T26i-SO-02D-/170872807890?var=#ht_4332wt_1163
http://www.handyersatzteilshop.de/a...+Cover+black+Sony+XPERIA+S+LT26i_3409642.html (german site)
To replace the bottom cover you have to follow these steps:
1. Pull the bottom cover a bit so that there is a little gap between the transparent strip and the cover.
2. Unlock the clips with your fingernails or a guiter pick.. Try to keep pulling the cover while you do this
3. Go all the way around until all the clips are unlocked.. Start at front left or right side
4. The replacement cover can be simply attached by pushing it over the naked end of the phone
See my attached pictures below
Good luck
MisterG
ps: for best results use a light guitar pick (mine was 0.60mm)
Really needed this guide. Pretty much made my bottom cap ugly when it fell and now there's a nasty bump on the edge. This should help. Though do you think the prices for the bottom cap will come down significantly? If it won't, I will be highly inclined to buy it now though it seems a bit on the costly side.
I don't know.. You're right - it's just a small piece of plastic but there's a xperia logo on it so it costs what it costs Maybe there are some non original covers but I haven't seen any yet..

Would be nice if more colours was available.
Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
I want to replace mine, but the reason isn't so bad so I can hold off until more parts become available...
How hard to you have to pull the cap to make a gap? Quite a lot of force? because that is the part that scares me the most, haha pulling apart by baby :fingers-crossed:
Don't pull too hard The cover doesn't move very much anyway.. You only have to get a small gap to put something into, like a guitar pick (or any other flexible piece of something) Without pulling I wasn't able to get my pick placed, so if you do: well done

Pull your cover off, grab a spray can in your favorite color and spray it Just joking - don't blame me if something goes wrong^^ Seriously: I don't think that there will be other colors than black and white in the future
Thanks Much needed guide for because of my clumsy girlfriend.
Thanks for the guide!
Just to be precise, there are only 2 clips on the front. The middle one looks like a guide, it's definitely not a clip
Cheers
I just received my cover from spareparts.
I had to wait 2 weeks because they didn't have stock but once they did, it took about 3 days to arrive to Canada where I live.
The cover feels and looks the same so that's a relief.
I dropped my phone and it cracked so I had to get a new one.
Cheers!
Hi does anyone know where to get a replacement part for the upper side (which involves both sides of the phone as well) I accidentally dropped it and know one corner is seriously damage PLEASE HELP!!!

You will get full housings on eBay but I guess you better take that to the service center as the display is fixed with the upper panel so repairing it by yourself could see you playing with fire with a delicate device. Sounds nasty though
What happens is that theres no Sony official center in my country so I don't know what to do is real ugly really? I think there's just really tight cause I saw a video where they show the battery and so

I could remove the cover using my nails (and they are not very long...) - no need for a guitar pick...
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app
Yeah, I already mentioned that it's possible to use your fingernails.. Advantage of a guiter pick is that it can be left sticked in while turning the phone freely if you have to alter your hand's position

Okay, maybe you're right but also a guide acts like a clip while other clips are clipped

Check the links in my first post... There is also this website http://sparepart.dk/en/sony-sony-ericsson-1629/sony-xperia-s-100338/spare-parts-100339/ where you can get nearly everything..
By the way.. Maybe we can attach new colored bottom covers soon when the xperia sl is released.. This model is meant to be a refresh of our XS with some slightly changed hardware specs but the size should be equal.. So next time purple/blue or pink bottom cover?^^
Source: http://www.xperiablog.net/2012/07/13/is-this-the-sony-xperia-sl-xperia-s-refresh/
ps: don't take this too serious the images were reported to be fake
can i remove the cover and put it back again?
mine just make some noise...
Nice one, just put an order in for a replacement, gonna spray it a custom colour
Thank you for this guide. I dropped my phone and the only scratch was on the bottom right corner - it was driving me crazy. I got the part quickly from sparepart.dk even though I'm in California and they ship from Denmark. Phone looks like the day I got it.
Nice to hear that I could help you

I dont know where you can get that, but I have included the complete XS repair and replacement guide which I think you may need.
Hi Guys,
Just bought an xperia s off the flea bay, was just wondering either side of the transparent buttons are what looks like hairline cracks?, are these meant to be there or is there some sort of plastic protection cover to be removed as the front does look a little scratched and was hoping there was a plastic film on it for me to remove. I've also noticed that the seller had a screen protector on there, I removed as it was badly fitted but i'm pretty sure there looks to be another one on there i've tried removing but doesnt seem to want to come off and dont want to use force just incase its not supposed to come off.
Thanks guys in advance.

Man don't you dare to remove that cover it's the shatter proof for the screen. Also the grid you see within the transparent strip is the supposed to be working as the antenna for the phone so not to worry for that.
Enjoy the new phone its freaking awesome.....
I bet u'll love it.....

Lots of people did dare to take off the shatter proof screen and much prefer it.

I removed my shatterproof sheet. The screen responsibility improved so much. But when I hard anything plugged in, be it the charger, headphones or AUX cable. The lower part of the screen would act funny.
So I had to put an other screenprotector on it to fix it. However, with this new protector my screen is super smooth and attracts pretty much no dust anymore.

I'm taking off the film right now but it look like there is no film on the front....
I need little help here
Dude, WTF!
Just kidding. Yes, there's a film on the front. It's just really really glued on there. There's a whole thread with annoyed people trying to get it off. It's here in the Q&A section. You'll need a razor and a heat source (not a flamethrower) if i remember correctly.
EDIT: Here it is.

I didn't take the progress pictures of it so I'm just gonna explain.
First, you need hair dryer and razor blade. heat you ZU about 10 to 15 sec with hot air and start to take it off.
this film is very odd it is not gonna peel off, instead, it is gonna break in piece( very odd material...)
it will take about an hour.
after you've done take off the file, you will see massive amount of adhesive on the screen.
I used acetone to remove the adhesive.
I might post about how to take off the z ultra film soon since it looks bit brief (I don't have enough time right now )
Awesome job. Did you get a glass protector to replace it?

Wow. Just Wow.
I got about 1/10th of the way through. Darn it all! Can't go back now.
I started this assuming this wasn't going to take an hour. It did. Sharp, sharp razor. Lots of pushing around and post removal of the film, a little more razor. NO scratches. No divets. Wonderful.
The results (contrast the back with the smudgy and gashed - small lines) with the front and it's night and day.
I'll leave the back alone but I'm very satisfied with my even more gorgeous viewing surface. Not my favorite way to spend a mid-afternoon, but it worked.
