sry noob here hehehehe but whats the different between lock bootloader and unlock bootloader

Ha ha , I finally managed to unlocked bootloader and rooted the XPS.. Now I am downloading KA_12 Xperia Sspeed Rom.. Maybe tonight I will flash it and see how it works..

My friend's Xperia S facing the yellow spot at the bottom part of the phone also..
All he need to do is just send the phone to any Sony Centre to repair?



How long do they usually take?
I'm planning to send it to Sunway pyramid's Sony centre..
They will replace a whole new unit or they just replace the LCD?

Thanks..

hey guys,

i'm new here,

wanted to ask the top left notification light, i notice that after upgraded to 4.0.4, the white/aqua light is not there anymore, what's left is just blue/green/red/amber. Is this normal ?

I still have white colour assigned as my Whatsapp notification light.
Firmware version: 6.1.A.2.45

Please try again.

Me too no problem

Congratulation. Enjoy the fun of root and void your warranty.

Sony Center do not warranty for your phone. You need to send to service center. Recommended send to SEMS at Amcorp Mall.

I just long press power button to silent =)

even when the slider was there we needed to press the power button to wake up the phone anyway.
not much difference for me.

honestly speaking since the previous update the phone has been butter smooth. no issues with smoothness or anything.

Good Morning to All,

I have noticed that different Custom Rom has it own Recovery as I have tried KA12 Xperia Sspeed Rom and the Kernel.. Got into bootloop and stuck into boot image only.. Lucky i did nandroid backup via CWM..
At first my thought is that I have bricked the phone...


After few hours (4 - 6 hours) of seaching in XDA forum, finally I got one solution that is to flash Recovery-Nozomi.img via fastboot method and also reflashed back the Advance Stock Kernel via Fastboot method and reboot in recovery then restore back my backup.. Hmmmm finally it did boot up as normal ...

Now I am bit worry about flashing custom rom via CWM.. currently I am running Stock Rom with Advance Stock Kernel.. now I now checking on battery life..

One thing I have notice about this XPS, it wont get hot that fast as other model smartphones do.. (I have browsed almost 1 hr, it does not get hot only warm a bit only)

Anyway, It is good phone..

I rooted my phone over the weekend with CM9.1 and the instructions were not very clear and I was at a point where my phone keep fast booting to the bootloader and didn't manage to get the CM file into the memory.

After 4 hours, I'm finally on CM9.1. Seriously phone manufacturers shouldn't bother skinning the stock ROMs, they are the best! Battery life is now improved. Loving my "new" phone again.

thanks for the fast reply, just double check and everything is fine

Appreciate it

How to use NFC to send files between 2 xps?

I tried image only. Open the image, contact the xps back to back, and long press the image.

Thanks, will try that.

Was trying to figure it out this afternoon with my friend

Noticed the battery are drained quite fast after fully charged 100%, within 25 mins it drops to 94%.. Anyone got any idea, why?

Warranty void after root?

How if I unroot it before i go for warranty repair (if i needed it) ?
Still void?

If you root with the official method aka unlock bootloader, eventhough you unroot, it still consider void the warranty.

i see.. i haven't rooted it.... wonder if i should..

right now i'm upgrading it to ICS.. but it kinda takes long.. how long is it usually?

hey, i found XPS bottom & battery cover ORI from Taiwan!!

I have a confession to make this morning.
Fellow XPS users, I accidentally poured half a cup of Nescafe White Coffee onto my XPS.. But since I'm using a tight TPU case, the coffee was like 'trapped' and my screen looked like a mini water pool.

I was panicking. Was charging the phone but the screen is locked.
I pulled the plug off my XPS and started wiping it with a thick towel. After 5 min, I opened the TPU case and wiped the screen. I cleaned the phone and the case with Dettol hand sanitizer (alcohol). I even opened the back cover, only a small drop of coffee gets in.

My phone survived the incident. Nothing went wrong.
Thank god.

Lesson learnt: Never place drinks close to your phone and a good case really helps! Haha.
