Hello guys I require some suggestions here.
I own a Sola (out of warranty) purchased from the US, and my battery has gone really bad. It has swollen up and randomly shuts down the phone.
Basically have to replace it ASAP.
So I'm in India and its really difficult to find a spare out of warrenty. A rare store i found said it'l cost Rs 3000 (USD 56$). I tried searching online and only landed up with http://www.battery-shops.com/sony-ericsson/mt27i-xperia-sola
That gave me the model number and put up big questions in my mind
1. How come Sola has the same battery model as Neo, Ray [BA700] etc? Aren't inbuilt different?
2. Sola's normal capacity is 1500 Mah or 1320 Mah ? These have 1500 rating
Please reply.
This should be the right one
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Bateria-...-1265-mA-mAh-ORIGINAL-1253-1155-/330789580887
If you want to check it, remove the black cover and there should be a model number or some identifier.

Any estimates on how much time would it take to ship from Spain to India ?
Take a look on another seller, there might be some asian sellers, that will be quicker i think.

Thanks for all the suggestions people. I managed to find a service center in India where an acquaintance works. So they registered my ticket and have given a date of 6-12 days for the battery to be shipped and replaced at the center.
I would like to share some findings as well, while a Sony technician was feeding details for my bill to be generated I managed to take a peek into his system while giving away the battery's hardware no. As it turns out the original price of the battery is just around Rs 800 (Less than 15$) which is crazy considering Sony is not marketing at less than Rs 2000 for the in built batteries sold externally.
So after a bit of help I did manage to place the replacement order for Rs 1300 (23$) including service charges.Lets see how that goes.
Glad to read that. Just report how it get...

Yeah all done. It took a week to arrive though.
Charges were as specified and the new battery works great! :victory:
Guys, i thought Sola's battery is non replaceable, how did you change it?
^Its 'user' non replaceable. Actually you can, with proper tools but the battery would be difficult to find.
i need ur help bro

Guys got some issues, my lumia it shows me at ##634# that my full battery it's only 935 mha?? Shouldn't be 1450 or something like that???
Sorry seems you got a faulty phone. Contact Nokia I believe they will replace it since officially yours is affwcted by battery bug since full capacity shows under 1000mAh.

Hello all! I was wondering if anyone had any clue where batteries compatible with this device are available? My device got wet and won't turn on, out of curiosity I swapped out the battery inside with a friend's and it booted right up!
I already tried Samsung's customer service and because it's not covered by warranty it'll cost me $40 plus the cost of the replacement battery ($51) Also the battery is on back order.
I really don't want to pay half the cost of a new player just to mine working again.
Thank you for your time.

Hmm... since these batteries are not supposed to be user serviceable, I am not sure what other choice you would have. Maybe ask around here and see if anyone has a busted player for cleap.
Good luck.

So i dropped my s3 today... well the day i dont have the otter box i drop it, and the screen crack making the phone not responsive and then the screen turned all blue
and so i found this store that replaces all of that for 190$ worth?
Do the screens become laggy, and should i just stick it out with my bb 9900 for the time being (im a student) and wait for the s4 to get lower and just pick one up
I picked up my s3 in march for 325$
:highfive:
thank you, sorry i wasnt alowed to post in Q&A

Weird that you weren't allowed to post on the Q&A section cause you're already a senior member. But anyway since you got it on March then isn't it covered by warranty? Replacement screens on the internet are sometimes bogus unless your really know how to criticized the item being sold. I suggest that you bring it to Samsung for repair.

How much do you think the repairs at the Samsung centers are? I got. My. Phone off someone on kijiji and he got it from Hong Kong for dirt cheap and then I found out the pho was from France pretty sure from Orange. I'm not really the type of person that wants armatures to replace my screen... But the phone is like 300$ now and I do love my phone because no one else I know has the Grey one and I can't sell it on eBay because I have personal things in it, or should I just keep it as a decoration and buy a s4 when it's lower....
I don't know what to do... Is it really worth 200$ to fix a phone that I can get for 300$ but I wonder if they'd fix everything else because I've been having signal problems

Better go and ask them about it as I haven't really encountered bringing in a phone for repair. And if you ask me if it's really worth it to repair a phone for almost half the price when you bought it... well... I think i'll pass and just get a new one because you'll encounter more issues afterwards. Of course it's a different issue when you send it Samsung for warranty issues.

What if i actually have warranty on the phone how would i check? cause i bought it from a guy or does that mean it just doesn't have warranty?

If you take it to a Samsung supported repair shop they will know its under warranty by the imei and serial number.You wont even need to have the reciept if you got it from someone else.Same happened to me once.If you want to replace the screen yourself then buy one on ebay for 140 bucks and do it yourself with a video tutorial from youtube.Its not that hard mate.
Ive changed a few screens for friends with ones from ebay and they are perfectly good and dont have any problems at all.Run perfectly and you save heaps too.

If its under waranty it should be free.Otherwise get a screen from ebay for 140 and fix it yourself and then try and sell the phone for 250.
250 + the 60 you saved will be 310 to go to an S4 at least mate.Id see if its covered first and then you will have a working phone to sell + 200 bucks.

Yeah mate all warranty coverage is free if its something like a hardware issue.If you drop it and they can tell then its up to them but if you dont have any marks on the side that makes it look like it has been dropped then just say that it wont start for some reason.
The bad thing is if it has been rooted and flashed and you havent reset the binary counter.Then if they see that they will most likely send you a letter asking you to pay cos that will mean you have lost the warranty.

Yeah mate if they know its the screen from an accident then they wont fix it.If you want to purposely brick your phone and say it has SDS (sudden desth syndrome) thats up to you but you may want to just fix it yourself if you cant find a non-samsung store that will do it for cheap..meaning screen + labour maybe 200 bucks.
Better to start looking at youtube videos.
Hi
So my ultra was on 40% when i took it off the wireless charger(magnets) and turned it off for the night. when i tried to turn it on it simply didnt do anything. tried the power + vol+ combination but vibrates a few times and thats it. tried to charge it but it shows the red led for a bit then blinks a few times and thats it. no matter what i try to do with it it simply doesnt want to turn on at all......
Pls help to figure it out if there is any hidden secret trick to make it run again....i can even put it on ebay since my data is on it :/
Thank you

Have you tried charging the phone with the regular micro USB port charging and leave it for some time. Also try pushing the red reset button underneath the right flaps beside the Sim tray.

Yes, lets clear some stuff up, Ive seen too many xperia's killed with cheap connectors turned the other way to count... Are you really sure you didn't connect it incorrectly?
red flashing LED is a common symptom of killing the charging

Does it get recognized by your pc in fastest mode or flashmode? If not then according to what I've been reading about other xperia devices it's time you send it in to the service center.They've termed it the LED light of death.

So I should be happy for you to ask me the most blond question about the charger cos u got a lot of thank you? Great…..
Next time ask it simply : did work without any issues before ? are you new to this smartphone stuff ? right away you can determine if you talk to a blond or an older person who is into changing the roms on 99% of his/her phones like clothes. This is the 2nd phone I never touched or rooted as I didn’t need to.

So I should be happy for you to ask me the most blond question about the charger cos u got a lot of thank you? Great…..
Next time ask it simply : did work without any issues before ? are you new to this smartphone stuff ? right away you can determine if you talk to a blond or an older person who is into changing the roms on 99% of his/her phones like clothes. This is the 2nd phone I never touched or rooted as I didn’t need to.

Your responses are totally uncalled for and completely disproportionate. Actually they're downright offensive. "Blond" - really?

Hi,
I have the same issue with my Z Ultra c6833, just the red led light when connected to the charger and pc. I dont get any responses to the buttons or any vibration when pressed. Before it died, It still powered on showing me the time and how much battery it has, around 92%. So decided to connect my magnetic charging cable to charge and waiting for the green led light meaning it's charging, but never got the green light and the Ultra never powered up again. Its on the official kitkat rom, not rooted and not a scratch, well babied. Tried charging it over night and the whole day, still just the red led light I get and computer doesn't even recognize it when it's plugged in.
Can I send it for warranty here in canada even though it's the c6833 model? Or can I send it to any service center to have it fix? And how much do you guyz think it will cause me to have it fix?
Thanks in advance for future replies.

EDIT: Information given to me below by the online Sony Rep was incorrect. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56814703&postcount=17 for correct info.
Just talked to a Sony rep as I'm interested in buying this phone from the US and wanted to know about warranty etc. Your covered by 1 year manufacturer's but you have to send it to the centre with country of origin. I'm not sure if that means the country you bought it from (which was what I was asking because I wanted to buy it from the States) or the intended region of the phone. If your phone is under warranty (i.e. within a year of purchase) you should be able to get it fixed but you will have to mail it out of the country. If out of warranty I'm not sure -- may be able to get it fixed here.

1st when you cant see someone (personal conversations versus typing)and the first ish help is if i used the charger the right way anyone would go nuts....In the first post i detailed as much as possible to make sure i wont get the "common" resolution options hence they were all tried and failed.
2nd yes it is great but that means he can read too just like you if you read it from the beginning. I would of been lucky if i get the right attitude from the other end too.
3rd i didnt say anyone owe me help. i searched,read,and asked when all failed. in my spare time i run non-profit help and information sites +teaching beginners for free so don't need lessons how to use my spare time. People like you who doesnt read ruin communities to be fair. Read first ask 2nd is what i do and did in the past almost 20 years since i had my 386. so go and read it again and troll somewhere else with you logic.
Thx

Hi
I been to about 50 shops nobody were able to fix it nore there was any solution online anywhere The best you can try is to sell it on eBay they will bid it over £100 easily if your screen is in mint condition.

You're right about one thing: your posts speak for themselves.

Just to follow up. I bought a device on ebay that stated the location as Memphis. The fedex shipment is actually coming from Singapore.
I chatted with an online rep and further called Sony Canada and they both confirmed that a device under 1 year manufacturer's warranty CAN be given to a Sony Canada Service Centre. The only caveat is that they cannot give a turnaround time (it's usually 2 weeks or something) as they say they may need to get parts from abroad.
I'm not sure how much that would apply for a C6833 as it's more or less the same as the C6806.
But there you have it.
Thanks for the reply Unidentifier
When I called Sony Canada on Nov 9th, they verified my c6833 still under warranty by checking the IMEI number. They emailed me the RMA number and shipping label for Purolator ( Shipping out and back is free, so I didn't spend a penny ) Service Center here in my area in Toronto is in Mississauga.
The rep told me that it will take a little longer than the standard 2 weeks to get it back because the device is an Asian/European version, because there's chances they might order the parts from it's place of origin.
But to my surprise, after they received my c6833 on Nov 12th I got a notice form Purolator last Nov 18th that my device came back from the service center already. So picked it up at the depot, at first I was so worried because I'm thinking maybe they didn't fix it cause it came back to quickly. After inspecting the device and the documents that came back with it, found out that they replaced it with a new Bell c6806 on Kitkat v. 14.4.a.0.108 but unlock, it works with Koodo and Rogers sim.
So all is well now, just not sure if I lost something because they gave me a c6806 instead of my previous c6833.
My only question now is how to prevent this from happening again? My feeling is that the magnetic charging cable is the reason why my device died, maybe that's the reason why Sony never made an official magnetic charging cable. Because there's always high chances you'll attach it in the wrong way. Unlike with the charging dock, it won't go in and connect itself unless it's putted in the right way.
Overall warranty experience with Sony is awesome! ?

About the question : sent the unit to Sony and they asked for £12 to find out it is dead. When i received it back went to another mobile repair shop just incase and they shown me that whatever they did they actually fried the mobo and cracked it too in the "diagnostics" process. So i took the screen out and sold it on eBay to get back at least some money after all the months of searching reading arguing waitingFORsony etc.
