Hey everyone, i have accidently dropped my Xperia P some time ago and the screen cracked ....
Today i am buying a Xperia P phone with a broken motherboard so i will use the display from that Xperia to replace it with mine.
Has anyone before opened/disassembled a Xperia P, is it hard and are there any pic or video tutorials?
I am not afraid to open it by myself but i want to inform myself first, i am also doing PC, PS3 and laptop disassemblys and repairs (not working but i know it) so i think that it won't cause me too much problems opening a modern smartphone?
I've looked a few videos and pictures of how to open a Xperia S so i think it has not that much differences ....

Thanks, i followed the video and dissasembled everything, but it doesn't show how to take out the screen, because i am stuck at the last part and don't know what to do next, no more screws or anything and i don't want to try it with force :/
Look at Xperia u disassembly on YouTube, the guy takes the screen out, it may be the same so maybe it can help you, cant provide a link but it's not hard to find

Hello xda guys!
Like a dumb i decided to change the front cover of my sony x10 mini, so, i decided to open it and de-assembly my phone.
It was all so easy, in few time and simply i got all the parts of my phone not mounted.
So i began to re-assembly every pieces and all looks fine, but, when i turned on my phone, after all the boot image i saw the sliding unlock command was not working good
The touch-sensor was not sensing my touch properly.
So i decided to de-assembly it again e re-assembly.
After this the phone was no more sensible at touch!!!!!
What did i brake?
What did i damaged?
Thanks for helps in advance.
Hi, As I saw on this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpCb0oxd_3c), there are lots of wires in this device.
Didn't you forgot to plug in one of them ? Or did you damage any integrated circuits ? Must be one of these if it's a hardware problem. It can be a firmware problem too but it's kinda obvious it isn't seeing the facts.
Anyway, i guess you should go back to SE's 2.1 rom and send it back to the customer service, i fear that it would be even more damaging to open it back again :s
http://youtu.be/iyT618lVxUs
My phone is this.
Well, now, my phone is definitely a test one (warranty no more valid), so i can do tests.
I guess i damaged the circuit or the sensor abled to sense touch, just because, all the other function looks working good.
I'm not sure on a thing: should i resolve just changing the motherboard or the display?
Ah yes, I misread you're on mini, not mini pro. Well, displays are solid componants. Unless the ribbon cable is damaged. I see no point in changing it. It's easier to damage a motherboard.(did that on my pc...)
These videos are awesome but i'll never try that myself. Too afraid of loosing my phone !
Yes! This should be the way! Thanks for the precious hints!
Definitely resolved!!!
Just changed the frontal cover!!
Now my phone works like a new one!!!!
I just checked out the official SONY ERICSSON X10 MINI repair manual on a wiki homepage. If someone need the link just ask me through a email!

I got one from Woot for $179. I think it's a great design personally. I know it's been trashed but I don't think enough people appreciate it's concept.
The split screen is not that big of a deal for web browsing. Netflix is just fine on the top screen. Having the dedicated screen for the keyboard is great.
The single best thing is the second screen for thumb swiping when browsing/reading. Instead of having to swipe at an angle, you can swipe horizontally. This might not sound like much but in heavy use it makes a big difference.
Right now, I prefer it over my HP Touchpad (CM10), Kindle Fire, and HTC Evo 4G.
Thanks,

iam surprised to see a post here ... anyway.. there is no way to hack nd enable calling function in tablet P.. i bought this tab P so cheaply on a online site abt 3 months ago.. nd i like this device nd it suits my usage but the rest of the world rejected long before.. there is not even a dedicated development forum for this device.. no support from sony.. no one knows this device nd no one minds this device.. this is a piece of a rare earth element!!!
so with no support its very risky to do hacking or do somthn as if anythn goes wrong, there is no sony stock repair service, no sony pc companion support nd no devs to help .. there is just tablet S tool to root this device nd may b with tablet S tools may b posible to flash stock or custom roms.. but still i didnt try any of it..want root function.. ! there is no proven result using tablet S tools for tab P. so very risky to do anythn.
there is a tablet P forum at pocketables website.. there too only method to root nd nothn else..
feel free to share anythn related to this device..if any help needed just post here..iam trying to port timescape nd xperia tablet Z launcher nd functions.. ya needed root function.nd i guess i may do it soon.

Search some of my previous posts and other's.
No voice calling but you can try VOIP, the modem card didn't have this function.No having can help.
I did so I could with mine, an AT&T 3G model. I almost got stuck with bricking but survive. Info is sparse on this model on hacking but most things on A model apply.
I updated it to 4.0, root it (said to be impossible from stock but I did,I won't recommend this route,I had only succeeded after many tries), swap out the modem card to an unlocked one, as cannot be unlocked. Lots of work but better.
It is the only tablet that is truly portable and pocketable. But viewing video on full screen is hard to get used to, and viewing in half screen makes it smaller size than my note 2! Ironic. Deep black and nice color on the screen, what a pity.
I also bought it during woot sale, the leather case I chose as part the deal is nice but I usually don't carry it.

Guys opened seal and does it already installed an screen protector ?
or should i buy a screen protector and install it ?
Many backgrounds applications are running hw to kill them ?
1st of all the bad things about the phone
if you can have patience to charge your device twice a day than XP is for you
i have this phone for about 20 days now and i,m quite disappointed with the battery life.
it really sucks and i,m mean really really sucks big time. 1350 mah only
i had an update couple a days ago i installed the update and stared facing bug like immense battery drain
camera problem in the dark.. and there,s no improvement in update as far i have observed
don,t bother to update
now the good things
i love the face that this device has awesome screen resolution
nice colours and viewing angles
screen clarity awesome
camera result awesome
performance awesome.
sound awesome
sound on earphones awesome
call quality no problem at all
surfing the web no problem
overall experience good.
yes u can install custom roms in it
after rooting and installing the clockwork recovery.. u might also have to unlock the bootloader,
see the relevant thread.
but i cant see files which i have tranferred through pc or bluetooth
almost wasted 2 hours for searching a file which i have copied from ma pc to phone but i cant find the location of the files which i have transferred to mobile from friend's bluetooth and my computer

It already has a screen protector...
You can kill them by pressing stop..and if u root,u can uninstall a lot of bloatware..
The battery is so lame and Sony's software support is even worse..

Oh ok, thanks a lot for the reply guys , i already updated to the ICS but not the latest one
it runs fine on my xperia p
Although it has a scratch resistant screen guard should i need to install an additional screen guard
Even the xperia P red colour is made up of aluminium right?

Hi !
Need some help and some guidance from the members regarding a serious issue with my Xperia Sola
The main issue with my Xperia Sola is that the screen freezes 2 or 3 times a day on various situations like when i am browsing on the internet or just browsing thru menus and or even when i write a text message. A random freeze i can call it! The screen freezes and looks like when you're watching a 3D movie without glasses. it's a bit..i don't know the exact term to decribe it but looks exactly like i said. So, after that it becomes unresponsive and the only thing i can do is to restart the phone using up volume button + start button at the same time! Then, it's coming back to life and...i am waiting for the next **bleep** freeze again!
The phone is upgraded to the latest version of android 4.0 with the Latest available software: 6.1.1.B.1.54. I allready performed an repair thru the pc companion on my pc and also tried SUS but the problem is still there.
I don't know wether is a hardware issue or a software issue!
Any ideeas?
Thank you!
I am sorry. I guess this thread should of been posted in the Q&A Help section! My apologies. I am new!
Men, the. 54 FW is sooooooo buggy! :-/

This is Sony issue. They made this phone so buggy in both hardware and software that they just abandoned it (and whole novathor line excluding xperia go) after 9 months after premiere. I've tried multiple ROM's and tweaks, and still Sola is the worst android device I've ever used. Best thing you can do is just buy a phone which is not manufactured by Sony. Sorr dude.
Hi Guys,
My Z2 is not auto focusing on anything further than about 15cm away, just get a blurry pic.
I don't get the green block or anything like it anymore and cant say if its attempting.
I have tried different ROM's custom and standard but no difference as well as locked and unlocked bootloaders.
The question is, is the autofocus part of the camera hardware?
I can pick up a Z2 camera for around $40 but don't want to import if its not going to help.
Extra info before people ask:
1) Yes it went for a swim and got condensation inside (+- 2 months ago)
2) No proof of purchase so cant get it replaced by Sony
Any ideas ?

So i take it the Auto focus is built into the Camera module. This is easy to replace if its in there.

Eeeehhh, a $800 is somewhat at stake but thats your decision
My guess is a faulty sensor its self cause its one unit as well as the fact that others have had the exact same issue
