Has anyone tried disassembling the Xperia P and change its battery?
Disassembly Guide

It doesn't seem much difficult, but funny thing is the specific xperia P batteries on eBay don't seem to fit there, whereas the ones for xperia U seem to be good.
Anyone has any experience with this?
Easy job
Hi there,
@ 1st:
thx for sharing the links, they helped me to solve my problem.
Now to my experience:
The disassembling is simple, just the top-cover (with the audio-jack) is tricky to release.
There is no glue in use just 3 little clips.
The unibody battery-cover is hold by 4 screws (use a T4 x40 screwdriver)
I needed the TUT to release the battery, cause my LT22i was in a boot-loop.

Hello,
Although batteries for U fit in Xperia P, are they functionnal ? The standard capacity of Xperia U batteries is 1320 mAh whereas the Xperia P batteries one is 1305 mAh.
By this way, Xperia P could benefit of a little improved autonomy ...
If I see it right, the battery of the Xperia U is just cliped into the device-body and there is no cable needed two connect the battery.
For the Xperia P you need a cable to connect the battery at the phone.

Xperia P camera problem
Hi
since you have disassembled the xperia P, i was wondering if you could solve my problem.
when i use camera in low lights with flash on, it gives yellowish tint and blued image. i noticed that there is a blue shade on the lens of xperia P when it is placed at a certain angle with light. i was thinking that its lens may be covered with a plastic sheet. as it is on xperia U. can you please confirm this issue?
Thankx
1500 mAh battery
Hey guys!
What do you think about this battery?
batteryupgrade.com/shopBrowser.php?shopGroupId=91313639&tracker=adwords_si_PDA&langId=1&gclid=COrg0suO3LUCFdEzzQodESwAVw#/assortmentProductId/93188393/shopGroupId/91313639
It has 1500 mAh. Is safe to buy a battery which has larger capacity than stock battery? And I noticed that this battery fits to other Xperia phones. Doesnt every phone model have an unique battery?
Greetings

Hi,
Do you have any recommendations on how to remove the Top Cap? What technique did you use to push those clips to release from the housing?

Even existing standard cradle should be safe enough as it has current limit, it will take longer time to charge the battery, thats all.

Yes, you are right, but I'don't have a cradle and I'm using one of these
I was also eying for that one too. 3600 mAh, in case I bricked my battery tonight after modding. *cross your fingers*
^^ Briked the battery, classic! is it even possible?
how much time will it take to charge it.I bought the same battey
Do you bought this battery already? How long it takes to charge? Better, how long it last with normal use?
best regards
i have a 26oo mAh battery..It seems it takes a little more time to charge, and i use my pda2k for 5-6 day with 10-15 minuts of call, without using tom tom or other heavy program..

Hi, what means costum backcover? Can anyone put a picture of it?
i don't have that exact model. i have a 4200mah battery from ebay germany. but as you can see in the lousy quality photos (the universal really does not have a great cam) i posted as an attachment the battery itself sticks out a bit beginning about 5mm from the top and going to the very bottom, meaning, the device does not go in the cradle anymore. but it still fits the original casing. it is just 3mm thicker than the stock battery. i guess a 3600, 3200 or even 2600 battery would be even slimmer

OMG, your battery is so thick 0_0. I have a 3800mAh Work pretty well if I do not use XPU Scalar
it's true, lying on its display like in the first picture it looks like a snail
I have that same battery now, got it from ebay for $6 with free shipping hehehehe, looks odd cuz the batt is so thick and heavy but it last...
$6? you are seriously making me jealous right now. i paid 30eur for that.
Just finished the Sony Ericsson Xperia RAY induction wireless charging mod
http://www.pbase.com/xperia_mods/xperia_ray_induction_charging_mod
All you need is about 15$ to order "Palm Touchstone" kit on e-bay, a bit of adhesive copper foil and
2 ohm SMD (1/8 or 1/4w) resistor is needed to balance on peak. Will not work without it.
Great mod indeed. thanks

yes. I't like to pay 39.99 for this magic battery and skip doing this tedious reverse engendering.
But this Powermat was still not out in the market of more then few phone models. In this 2010 video they'd planed to integrate induction coil into the battery. The idea with the battery replacement was great but still not commercially available. I suspect in reality it was tricky to make it work and it will reduce the battery capacity (as some battery room will be taken by induction coil and charging control circuit). Also Li-Ion battery can blow up or ignite when overheated or shortened. I guess they don't want to take this extra responsibility. So they roll back to selling Battery Doors & special bulky cases with induction coils. The need to integrate it into the heart of the phone (as we do with soldering + wire to the usb plug) prevents them to apply it to more phone models.
But your question can lead to a new great mod.
We can use this "Battery Door for BlackBerry Curve 8300" for just $4.78 or this and integrate it into the Xperia. However solution will be more expensive (due to mat costs) to that with PALM, we might skip ripping the phone, soldering and voiding the warranty.
If somebody will donate me this receiver door and the mat i'd try to do for him...
so you think we can have a wireless adapter for our mini pro?

I need to see it. I used to have x10 mini and the back of it was not flat. So it can prevent proper contact of coils. mini pro is a bit flatter. i need to hold it and Palm or Powermat coils in my hands to confirm
i had x10mini also.
unfurtenully i cannot donate you the material but i want so much wireless charging.
in alternative i have an idea:
maybe its possible to attach something to the battery to use duracell inductive charging mat no?

all this inductive charging works on the same principal
you need coil + mini controller + tiny align magnets on both sides.
unfortunately you can't connect it directly to the battery as li-on/li-pol battery are not that easy to charge and phone should control the charging process.
So you need to connect it to usb charging.
Maybe you can use something like this that connects to micro usb plug:

Question on the resistor
Hey There, im currently based in HK and im struggling to track down where i can get a 2ohm SMD resistor (is it 2 omh or 2k ohm??), Could you link me to a site i could buy them from i have tried Google but no luck on just getting a few. Would very much appreciate it.
Cheers,
Paddy
nice i try it too.
would love to see this on mini pro
Great stuff! Will be trying this.
I want to buy a new phone, I was thinking abt getn XS, but wen I saw XP, I was surprised by its look, its awesome design and looks like a polished product.
I want to know opinion of other XS, XP users......
Well in terms of power and storage the obvious answer is no.
Looks wise the P might just have the edge with the aluminum body. Not that much difference in size between the two either but I haven't played with one yet I have just seen a couple of comparison videos.
Cannot comment on the WhiteMagic screen either as I haven't seen a physical device yet. What I can say is the screen on the S is fantastic and makes you feel all warm inside when looking at it.
Sent from my LT26i using xda premium
In my opinion,
S is better hardware wise no.
Design , I personally prefer P. Mainly because of the aluminium body looks and feels more premium and no USB flap. I know many say that the flap isn't that fragile but I just feels so
If you prefer better hardware, go for S, else otherwise.
How I wish S in aluminium + colour changing strip

EDIT: Charger is the EP850
Sent from my LT26i using xda premium
Think I have under estimated the Xperia P somewhat.
I have been playing with the black version for around 3 hours now and its a little pocket rocket. The design and feel is very satisfying, feels premium. The screen is fantastic, very bright, crisp and clear. Had a test in the sun and set screen brightness to automatic (yes it has automatic or manual control, as well as a power saver option) all text and colours are still very easy to see. You now press the icons on the transparent bar for home, back and settings, back button does not suffer like the S, one tap and responds. I have removed the widgets on the home screens and set basic stuff up that I use and have no lag whilst switching screens, app tray opens almost instantly, apps open in very good time, installing apps seems faster than on my S. In the box is the EP850 fast charger.
This is just a very quick analysis so far and will add more as and when I find more interesting bits. Needless to say I am very tempted to sell my Xperia S and use the P as my daily driver.
EDIT: After using this device for over a day I can truly say it is outstanding. To the point that my Xperia S is being sold and this is now my main device
The Xperia P comes with more notification and ringtones so I have zipped them.

Xperia s
Xperia S would be a better phone.
depends what you looking for..
For me camera and big storage is first thing in my mind, loved satio 12mpx, and wanted android with 12mpx (arc previously)...
Also big screen is one of the required stuff...but i really want aluminium body...
So in the end i say for me that xperia s is better phone

thats a no? but im going to ask sony anyways it is kinda funny that the burn in is not really staying long. When not using my phone (switched off) for a day my burn in is almost gone. But when i use it 1 hour or so i see the time, battery and icons burn in
As for me. I am not saying that I'm right, but this is my opinion regarding on this matter. I work in a TFT-LCD company in taiwan for 3yrs and I assigned in burn-in processes which is you will keep the LCD panel to the machine with a temp of 50-60 degrees celsius. on this kinda heat all the LCD even the 32"-40" or bigger will notice a burn Cristal Liquid. as what we are discussing for.
but it will gone in a min. if the panel will become cold. I ask this before to the Higher class that this is because of the metal plate that produce to much heat.
because when a metal put to a 30deg. it is shurely get 5% more degrees. i don't know exactly the explanation but this is what they told me.
So, This phone we have has a CPU on the top near to the camera. and it coming heat, when using in games or heavy use. and the LCD has a metal plate on side to protect it. when heat process it flow on that metal and you will see that result.
In my work before, I also notice that more than 24HR of burning process in LCD will affect that Burn Cristal liquid. and you will see that it will not remove for long life...
hope you understand it. or disregard it if you are not interested.
Why don't you search before posting?

It's currently $19 on Amazon.
it was $14 last month and seem to be going up now due to the Z3 announcement. my guess is it'll likely work with it, the port looks identical to me, including the pins

It's most likely to work, but Sony have reduced the mAh to 3100 on the Z3 so i just may be how much power both the docks feed on

It doesn't matter man, Actually, the amperage of the charger is much more low than the capacity of the battery. that mean you could charge the Z2 with 3,2A (it would be fulll charged in 1 hour) and the Z3 with only 3,1A.
Z2 charger is not over 3.1A, so you can charge the Z3 without any fear.
For me, it's possible.
charging port is the same
but Z3 "Dock" is different one
Will the magnetic charging cable (EC21) from the DK31/DK30 Dock being used for the z3?
The cable / port are the same for Z1/Z2/Z3.
My Z1 dock works with my Z2. Guessing it will work with Z3.

Z1,Z1s,Z1C,Z2,Z3,Z3C all use the same magnetic charging port.
Now whether it fits in the dock is another story. All the phones are different widths so you may have to take some playing cards and put them behind the Z3 but it'll charge. My advise is, if you are selling the Z2 include the Z2 dock and just buy the Z3 dock.
price gouging has begun..it's now $30+ and by next week it will be $45+
amazing how sellers take advantage of increasing the price when they know the device is coming out soon. personally i wouldn't spend more than $20 on this dock as i think it's a rip off, it;s not like it's wireless charging which IMO is what sony should have added to the phone.

Hey guys i just bought the Magnetic Charging Dock Z1 (DK31) for taking it apart for the EC21 cable. Before I took it apart i tested if the charging docks with the z3. Well it works pretty good. Here some pictures.
Good to know. Not surprised. It works with the Z2 so it was very likely to work with the Z3.

How sad there is not more Dock coming with Z3. I am charging my Z3 with Z2 dock, not well fit, work though.
just to add on as well, am also using my Z1 dock with the Z3 as well. just had to add a small card at the back of it to make it a bit more secure and snug fitting
Just to add: DK39 charging dock (Z2 Tablet) also works.
Why the heck can't Sony just start selling inserts separately? It's getting silly now with so many variants and the need to buy new if you don't want to bodge things.
Sony could sell the insert for £5 each and turn a nice profit.
