The Official Xperia S thread

[ragnarok95]

Last year they had S2, Nexus, Note which is not really that ahead in term of hardware specs to be honest.

What I dislike about Samsung is their software. My friend updated his notes and alot of apps keep crash -.- One of them is S Memo.

Chipworks, iFixit tear down the Galaxy S III for all to see, spot iPhone 4S' camera sensor hanging around -- Engadget

hahaha. Look at the comments at engadget. Sony made sensor cause Apple and Samsung user fight against each other.

I noticed that the arc S retail price is cheaper than this! I don't get it...shouldn't the arc S be cheaper since it is older?

Just got a disappointment after buying a TDK inearphone(TH-ECXS250) from the PC Show which the salesman says its compatible with all Xperia phone.
Back home when I plug in the earphone, a message popped out "Accessory not Supported" :-(

Sianz man.... do you think they will let me change to another model if I bring it down for a exchange? Else this earphone is useless to me, zero sound from the phone.

Ok guys,

I bear good news for those who dropped their phone~!!!!

You see, as some of you may know, my Nozomi had a sudden cardiac arrest last weekend, so I brought her in for servicing.

So since I was there already and knowing they would clear away my data, I asked them to help me change my LCD screen as well.

Within 5 working days, which is today, I was told that my Nozomi was ready to collect.

And when I went over, something took me by surprise, which is this:

What does this mean, you might ask?

Well, I kinda accidentally dropped my phone a couple of months back (which led me to get a Rock casing from adix the following day), and in the end 2 corners were scratched and dented.

And now, as you can see from the picture, the deformities are gone~!

My Nozomi looked as good as new. Seems the sides and the botttom comes along with the LCD?

Probably why so far nobody reported this is that maybe those who changed LCD doesn't have any scratches that's why never notice the change? ._.

But I guess this trick can only be used once unless you unluckily get yellow tints again?

On the side note, as like someone who commented a few days ago here, the new screen, upon first use, looks sepia-ish in color. But after a while, the whites have gradually become really white.

 

[ragnarok95]

Erm..... the casing comes with the LCD... everyone got their casing changed when u went in to service the LCD...it comes together...in a package.

 

[eeLsinneD]

So I hope yellow tints appear again the next time I drop my phone~

It is known that during such shows, not all the salesmen know the products they are promoting. You should demand for an exchange in view of misinformation. Bring your phone to test when you do the exchange for another model.

You can try your luck This is one of the little things I dislike about Xperia phones. As far as I know, my Xperia Ray (and probably the rest of the Xperia line) disallows use of a earphone with microphone, i.e. if the connector you have is same as an iPod earphone connector, it'll not allow it for use. You will need to get an adapter:

FYI:
2011 line of Xperia Phones And 2012 line of Sony Phones are using different standard of earphone plug.
2011 Xperia using OMTP while 2012 Xperia using CTIA, which more common now on Iphone and HTC.

Thus the TDK inearphone(TH-ECXS250) is not compatible with XS

I was suffer with this matter when I switch from X10 to XS. The SE Livesound earphone not compatible with new XS.
Until I found this: And it make my Livesound work perfectly on XS. But doesn't look good.

Fiio LU1 3.5mm Smart Adapter Cable / OFC - FiiO Audio Products - Brands - Headphones & Amps


Yesterday bought this from PC show:

Case Logic - Level 6, Booth B2035 & B2050 (Sprint-Cass)
(dont expect good sound from this tho)

The Magic adapter work as good as FIIO LU1. And Perfect match with Livesound!

Yes, the front module will be changed when you sent in for the replacement of LCD panel for your Xperia S.

I got a call to change the LCD due yellow tint but I rather wait for the bishan service centre to open instead of sending in now cos I have to wait about 7 days.

Thanks to all for the support, and also detailed explanation from tacmehom.

I am happy to report that I was able to exchange the earphone for the TDK ECAS250 model, which miraculous works perfectly on XS. This model was advertised to work on all Galaxy and iPhone model

To me it appears like all the phone manufacturers are converging on a standard earphone plug, as what tacmehom had explained earlier too Good news if this is the case!

cheers!

That I agree, in terms of software engineer, there is no doubt that Sony has better software engineer compared to other phone manufacturers as they are doing phone business longer than any phone manufacturers and they have a combination of both Japan and Sweden software engineers.

In terms of technology, Sony is way ahead of others as well just like their accessories and they are using lithium polymer batteries way ahead of other phone manufacturers.

Is this Sony's latest phone? And the best Sony phone?
