ordered one for the Mrs yesterday, £240 SIM free
Available in denmark for 2300-3000DKR depending on carrier(over a 6 month period with usage), 2200dkr no contract.
Gonna get one in 1-2 weeks time. Glad to hear i can root with superoneclick, so i can erase all i don't want.
just got mine for HKD2100, thats GBP 165.50 no contract, the retail price in hong kong is HKD2198 (GBP 173.30) no contract needed.
before you buy, check for dead or bright pixels, this phone has lots of them, my first 1 had 10, and the other phones had 2-3, and my final one had 1 at the bottom of the screen, didn't quite check it in details, but since it a cheap phone, i'll stick with it.
here is the code to check it
*#*#7378423#*#*
Found one cheap in a store by accident today, so what was supposed to wait 1-2 weeks was bought today!
So far all i can say is that this is what the original mini pro should have been all along! The only negative things i can come up with is that the jack socket doesn't support HTC/iPhone headsets (there are quite alot of those, so alot of good ones) the jack seems to be some proprietary stuff again, the headphones that come with the phone are quite alot better than the ones with the x10 mini pro though.
The Keyboard is a little softer and got a slightly different layout (atleast the danish layout) than the x10 mini pro. Personally i liked the feedback from the x10, but i guess i just gotta get used to a softer keyboard.
Checked for dead pixels on mine, not a single one. So i'm happy.
Ask away if anyone got questions.
i actually checked in the in the shop for about an hour, didn't find anything, but when i got home checked it in a pitch black room, i found 10, some were very dull and hard to see, two were very bright, you need to look very carefully.
HI, not been able to root xperai mini pro sk17i with super one click (2.1 & also with 1.5) & neither ginger break worked.
I believe there are some issues with rooting gingerbread phones. in most of the 2.3.3 phones super one click doesn't works.
p.s. costs 15,200 INR for me
Tried rooting mine aswell, no luck with either of Them. Hope we can root em soon, the se bloatware is bugging my eyes

post all ur queries in that thread...
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!

Should it be "assembly"?
Hello i have XMP. I got a cheaper proposal to buy a LWW and i think to buy it becouse i don't feel the mini pro stable in my hand with that keyboard. I need opinions from some lww users. Is the display good?
edit: And also the phone is locked to a network provider. Is there any free way to unlock, if no what are the paid ways?

Keep the XMP, LWW has a horrible screen, and the phone is very slow. Currently there is no free unlock method, but you can try the paid ones.

Lol. Both xmp and lww got the exact same hardware, how could u said its 'slower' than xmp? That doesn't make sense.
Don't know about screen because never actually compared mine to other phone, but I guess its just OK.
But one thing for sure, no other phone can beat lww sound quality, with its dual stereo speaker its just awesome. Even the big boys nexus got crap slower sound.
I am using wt19i I am recommand you to change to wt19i this model have 2. Strong speakers. And its comfortable to hold the phone in the hand one thing missing. Its the battery. For more information please send a private message good luck
I also recommend LWW. I've had it for a year now and I can't complain about anything in this smartphone. I installed CM9 on it and it was
surprisingly fast, now testing CM10.

Do you mean it's got a simlock or not allowed BL unlock?
Simlock. If i cant unlock the bootloader i wont buy it.
I am reading alot of reviews. Everything seems to be good. Display, sound and on.. Does the bravia engine missing from the phone effects?
I think of buying a white for its better made of materials

It depends on from where you buy the phone. When my mother bought LWW, it was not simlocked and could be unlocked. It dosen't have bravia engine, but you can easily flash a rom to get that feature and no it does not effect the quality much. The phone has got one of the best sound quality.
The colour choice depends on you, but white can easily get dirty.
Ooh yeah. I will buy black. Well thanks for the advices guys. If someone have any other opinion please write
I'm an XMP user and I can say that I wouldn't trade it for anything with the screen of similar size. I mean, it is quite comfortable to type with an on-screen keyboard when you're using Xperia keyboard in phonepad mode OR if you install Swiftkey, but sometimes I turn the rage mode on because of those tiny buttons. and then the hw keyboard saves the day. but if you think of it as a bloody nuisance and you don't use it AT ALL, then fair enough, go for it

Hello. Sorry for my secnod post
I want to ask if the phone have unlocked bootloader status - no. Is there any way that it can be unlocked and use my fastboot?
http://www.wotanserver.com/en/sony-ericsson/se/live-with-walkman-wt19/unlock-tool/debranding-flash This can do the trick? But what if the phone is not manufactured before 12W11 ?
Hello !
I just ordered the 16gb version (no 3g) for about $320 (a lot more expensive here usually). It's one which apparantly was sent back and got a general maintenance. Got it from the German Sony outlet online store. Obviously the first thing Ill do will be checking for errors and sending it back if its not alright.
I will be travelling to asia for about a year as of august and thought it was pretty fitting so I just ordered before they're all gone...
Now I'm wondering a few things!
Will I be able to connect via 3g with an internet dongle like the huawei E137 ?
Can I connect my 2.5" external hdd without additional power? I read almost everywhere that it doesn't work on all the tablets, but I also think I read that the sony usb port is more powerful and can stream over hdmi without additional power. I know that ill need an OTG usb host cable. It's a Samsung s1 mini with 120gb.
The bigger question is however which updates I should install. I read a few threads on here (very confusing with all the sony tablets being in one place...) and couldn't really come to a conclusion.
I don't really play games, except Id maybe like to play some N64 stuff on an emulator. I mainly want to use it to browse the internet, do hostel bookings etc. and watch movies.
Im sorry if these have been asked before, I couldnt find an answer :/
No you can't connect to 3g. Not sure about HDD.
Note: should have got a xperia tablet z

Second that. Probably better value down the road seeing as support for this will be abandoned soon probably... if not already.
It's not possible to connect to the internet via surf stick?
I've seen videos on youtube where people do it with other android tablets. Is that a xts specific problem?
the xperia tablet z is exactly twice the price :/

The tablet does not have the drivers to run the dongle. The STS has this issue too. Since the XTZ is made by the Sony Mobile team, and not the Sony Vaio team, it most likely will support dongles... IMO it would be worth paying extra for the XTZ because of the much higher standards the mobile team has, its unlockable bootloader, high res screen, etc.
Hmm alright, too bad...
Could it be possible someday? With it being able to root now?
I really don't wanna spend another 250€, I can live a month in India with that money :/
I had a look a the tablet in an electronics market here and I think the display is more than enough for me.
Guess I'll have to live with tethering then.
I'll see if a 3G dongle works with the Xperia Tablet Z.

Instead of a dongle, use a wireless mobile hotspot device. Most are small enough to fit in your pocket, better than having a dongle hanging off your tablet, and there is no hassle with loading device drivers. I don't know what is available in India or Asia, but I'm in the USA and I use a Sierra Wireless Overdrive Pro™ 3G/4G Mobile Hotspot through Virgin Mobile.
XTS root, then you can also use a 3G dongle Since there's a free app in the Market "UMTS MANAGER" Try yourself and also works on 4.1.1 with root.
Unfortunately, USB hard drives consume a lot of electricity - are alternative USB sticks it should be paid to the format ... NTFS is otherwise only with root with the help of the free app "Paragon NTFS & HFS" so you can then mount ...
That sounds like some good news!
I'm still not quite sure whether I should send it back or keep it (hasn't arrived yet but is in transit...would the galaxy tab 10.1" be a better choice? its about the same price here).
Is rooting it risky? Is there any danger to it? Will it be possible with every device or could there be regional differences (mine will be german I guess)?
If I'll be able to root it, that means I can use all the apps there are basically? What about alternate ROMs, will that be possible?
Sorry for all the questions, I'm kind of new to the whole topic, though I did root a smartphone I had
Come to think about it, I could use that as a mobile hotspot maybe... Though I'd have the same problems with being dependent on a second battery :/
I think if I'll be able to root it and it'd be able to use all those customized apps that make software things possible that sony tries to forbid or hasnt enabled at least the XTS would be a good choice for me since it's so cheap.

Rooting isn't risky - it's what you do with the root which is.
When you root a phone, you place a su binary file in the /system partition.
If your a new to this, you WILL brick your device. Don't mess with system files before asking here first :fingers-crossed:

If you read here first before firing off crazy commands its prob safe to root, having said that after you do the risk of bricking is high bcuz no custom recovery and boot loader is locked so you cannot just flash a Rom to fix it. If you are not in love with Sony for whatever reason, and depending on what you plan to do with the tablet, I would either save $100 and get a nexus 7 or spend extra $100 and get nexus 10.

aaaalright you guys. thanks everyone!
sending it back...too bad tho, just got it yesterday and it looks pretty cool. thats not the most important thing for me though.
im leaving in 2 month for my trip, so ill wait another month and see if anything happens on the market. maybe ill get a nexus 10. I had a look at the 7 but its too small (htc one x is pretty big already).

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!
Might be hardware issue.
Does I happen on clean firmware with no apps installed other that come with stock?

Likely the GPU, makes no difference if it's GPU CPU ram or anything else that's on the mainboard they are not going to fix it just replace the mainboard.

Well I'm not an expert, but since it happens after flashing clean firmware as well it seems to be some kind of hardware issue even if it's a loos contact.
Won't be cheap question is how exensive.
See if it's worth you repairing or buy a new phone.

Yeah man, clean software, nothing but the stock firmware on it and keeps on freezing. Some days he's behaving ok. I mean ...what am i saying, not a day goes by without one or two of those freezees! sometimes during a call! :/
Yeah, got the same advice from someone! I'll see if it's worth repairing! I really like this phone
I'll keep you posted ChikeD and thank you so much for reply!
