but the part where you feel the heat is above the battery, near the lens and the flash... or am I the only wan experience overheat at that part?

Hi guys, i'm new around here. Just wanna share my experience using the XV..

been using it since 1/3/13 (birthday present from wifey ) with stock ICS..never actually believed that 8 hour charging rule, so I unplugged the charger whenever batt bar reaches 100%.

Batt life was good, would last around 10~12 hour normally (i'm somewhat mod/heavy user). but after upgrade it to JB, batt life went significantly down to 8 hours max. and this is when i start to experience overheat problem.

never experienced any SOD, mind you i never charge with wifi turned on.

already submerged my XV in swimming pool (over 1mtr depth), sea water, hot ciken curry (dropped!), and in pepsi (show off to friends).. still in perfect working condition

so far i'm very satisfied with this phone aside from batt life issue. but batt can be changed which is a huge ++

after this wanna try root with locked BL. many thanks for the link neuro! been looking all over for it in the past few days

any news when we can get the charging dock dk25 from sony? takut the charge flap get loose, then no moar IP57 certified

can buy on9?

on9 = online. pardon my shortform language. until today still looking to purchase the dock online, but couldn't find any websites that sell this..

Sony centre at the curve got stock for the speakers, all colors are available at retail price. Shame that the speaker won't go as freebies when buying XZ

Anybody dares to test this one-click ROM installer from CM on your XV?

XV is S4 chip. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snapdragon_(s...)#Snapdragon_S4

so no problem support 4.4

My monday blues have just gotten interesting with this update from xperiablog


"The DLNA certified Android 4.3 firmware builds for a number of Sony Xperia devices earlier this week, hopefully implying that there are no delays to the rollout. Sony Xperia devices that passed DLNA certification on 10 December include the Xperia SP (C5302, C5303, C5306, M35h), Xperia T (LT30p, LT30a), Xperia TX (LT29i) and Xperia V (LT25i). There’s ten days left until Christmas, so let’s hope that we’ll start to see official Android 4.3 before then."


Android 4.3 builds certified for Xperia V

Fellow XV users, great news from Sony! (don't get your hopes too high, it's not about 4.3 FW update.. at least not yet) The Sony Motion Shot app that was exclusively featured only in Z1, is now released for all Xperia devices running ICS and above. Check it out~

they said it will be released today. but i doubt it, cause sony always makes me wait another day longer

ah.. ppl in xperiablog forecasted that it'll be out today for v,t,tx,sp. dunnola, maybe it's just a rumor kot

Many thanks buddy

here's hoping that they won't drag it till CNY but takut wor if we ended up like Xperia L, got update but 4.2 only

if u're willing to go to subang jaya, directd still got stock for XV. Last saturday i checked, they sell it at rm930/set.

but Lelong.my cheaper still, 899 oni with free gifts.

XV finally got certified! fuuhh long overdue edi.. enjoice ppl, we'll be getting the update very soon

but i'm already thinking to swap my XV with the newly announced Xperia Z1 Compact.. the temptation is too strong with this wan haha

I for one preferred the current sony ui design (black) in my XV than the one in 4.3.. i guess that's the new approach sony wants their user to adapt

so you mean to say after upgrading to new fw, we won't be experiencing the home screen icons & widgets loading lag? Neat! many thanks ryu for that info

THIS

Android 4.3 update leaked for Xperia V, leaked firmware with build number 9.2.A.1.131

As for me, i'd just use it back as if nothing happened.. once every 2 months i go back to my hometown in kemaman, and never fails to bring my XV with me for a swim in the seas. i think it has been 6-7 times i swam with my XV, taking countless pictures & videos of family members swimming/diving.. and i'm sure at 1 point i took it deeper than 1.5mtr. sometimes got sand particles stuck in celah2, but i just buat dunno. been using XV as my main & only phone for almost 13 months now.. so yeah, XV waterproofing is really gud

just my 2 cents
