PSN, Videos Unlimited, Music Unlimited

Guys, any idea if we will be getting the Playstation Store, Music and Video Unlimited apps? It is shown n advertised on reviews but cant seem to locate them on a local set. Many thanks.

not available in SG Music and Video Unlimited, only in US and some other countries.

Even if you install the apk you need to access via proxy to bypass geo location block.

playstation store not sure, wait for bro zeph to help maybe?

The battery drain really fast in my case too. But it's just my 2nd (or maybe 2nd and a half) charge so will let it run through few cycles see how. It's among the fastest drainage i've ever encountered, even for the first 1-2 charge.

I'm pretty scared about dropping it, and it splits into 3 obvious parts (excluding the back cover) >.<

This reminds me, I had a dream that the bottom bar fell off.

for me the battery is quite good, probably top-middle of the pack for android phones i've used so far.

ya it's chio but my gf wans me do pink

sarpork!!!

U consider urself as a heavy user and it lasts u 3/4 day?! I consider myself as a moderate user and I'm charging 3 times a day.. Lols
Display takes up min 70% of batt but there are already nth left to save ┐('～`)┌ lol

3/4 day sounds decent.. my wifi is on half of the time i use to surf net and play game, whatsapp alot, read story on phone. battery has been discharged twice and lasts for about a day. def better than all the galaxy s/s2out there.
took out the charger at 8am ytd and last night i was trying to finish up the battery so can charge when sleep. >.>

lemon set with singtel is a high possibility. had one myself.

impatiently waiting for ics so i can use nova launcher!! jelly when i see the nexus with nova launcher out there :vijay:

You worry too much till you dream about it.

Warranty sure void when you press & see different color. Unless service centre people color-blind.

USB OTG on XS.

I thought Gingerbread doesn't natively support USB OTG but anyway Sony has made that possible
Pros:
You don't have to open the battery cover and remove your battery for memory expansion unlike microsd cards

Cons:
You have to carry the cable and thumb drive around as opposed to a microsd card.

nah, for me warranty isnt important. cos i can repair the phone myself.

but those who needs warranty, better dun do it. unless u are a risk taker

My XPERIA S back cover nearby camera button area loose. I check few sets at Service center also have this problem. Service center tell me I am the second person feedback. Any others face same problem?

Your con is not entirely correct. There is already 32gb eMMC in XS. The OTG is for you to use additional memory if you want. Unless you are those who can afford 64gb card or more, 32gb is sufficient for now.

Yes, I would not want to unlock bootloader for root. Waiting for other root options at the moment to preserve the warranty.
