This is Sony Xperia Go(Also known as Xperia Advance) from Sony NXT 2012 lines.


Smart, sleek and durable

Ups, downs and sudden showers. We’ve designed Xperia™ go to handle everything life dishes out. We gave it a scratch-resistant display, a battery-save mode for when you’re running late and made sure it had the highest water and dust resistance of any smartphone. As a final trick, we put all this toughness in an elegant costume. At just 9.8 mm, you’d never guess that slim Xperia™ go is a giant on durability.

Finally, a smartphone that’s as stylish as it is strong.





Strong enough for life’s little problems

For something that’s such a vital part of life, most smartphones can’t handle life’s little bumps. Now there’s an Android smartphone you never have to worry about. Xperia go is a dust-proof, water-resistant phone. Sure, you can take it on a hike through the rainforest. But it’s made for less dramatic challenges. Like a drop into the flour while you’re baking, a “surprise” dive into the fishbowl and whatever else daily life has in store.

Another problem... When I off backlight,some times screen flicker a bit... Normal also???

well,i never have the flicker issue before

about the acro s......i dint expect it to be so thick!!!

and the xperia go...screen too small for mah finger

Mine is yellow bro. Pls update thx

Done!


waiting on ICS to come out

Add me to the owner's list.
Mine is a black Xperia Go.
Rooted summore. Hehehehe

i found out , facebook "news feed,picture,etc" loading very slow on this phone... sometime need to tap to retry many times/re-login

for twitter , instagram no problem..

any of u experience this?

You guys... when you bought this phone, is there somekind of screen protector film pre-installed on the screen? I heard that many people complain about scratch, and then other people say it's actually the protective film that's scratched and the scratch will be gone if you remove the protective film.

Nope, not for this. For Xperia Active, yes.....but not for Xperia GO.

Can I know what is the current price of the Xperia Go for AP and Ori set? thanks. And also is the CM10 ported to Xperia Go already? Any thing I should look out before buying? Thanks for reading my question.

Well if you go to stores
you might find its RRP but if you want cheaper,you have to go for retails
around RM869.
It have all round package inside the box
which is quite nice especially the car charger and 2 usb cable

not sure i understand CM10 meaning
since i am a casual user even with my Galaxy W and Galaxy S Advance

Based on this link is the AP price for Xperia Go very low or what? The RRP is quite above my normal budget lol but seeing the price list looks cool. CM10 refers to CyanogenMod 10 which is a custom rom Android 4.1. Thanks for replying

Xperia go can root already wow how show guide

can explain, root is for ? sorry ya i'm 1st time android user

Go read Android general question page then come back

im yellow btw

how is the battery life on this?

thx thx

malas la...

Battery life is OK not bad actually

i was shocked...it lasted me from 3pm till 10pm... on wifi...surf net...on and off....

Flicker issue only happens when brightness is set quite low. I've seen similar issues even in few other models. I think that is normal.

As for battery life, it is not bad. For me, it can last for about 1.5 days, and it is still running on Gingerbread.

Once ICS is out, the battery life is going to be awesome I believe (based on how it is for other Android devices that I've tried).

ICS
ICS

hahaa
i miss the notification settings button function
since my old Live with Walkman have been upgraded to ICS and that fucntion is really useful

after 1.5day use, really happy with the speed and batt life.
only problem now is i can't detect SSID of my home wifi but can detect neighbour's. other places office, mifi, sister's home all ok.
Other laptop can detect the wifi.
Suspect the router setting problem. Restart the Dlink router also same.
Already changed and Forgot the router password, try to reset it but seems the got problem reset.

Anybody got idea how to troubleshoot this?
really frustrated now at home. luckily i mostly use laptop at home, only cannot use whatapps, viber, etc.

din't have the problem ever in my house,
before update or after the update,
try to change the settings?
limit the channel or 20/40 configuration

I just got the phone, should be up to date already.
Now i have problem reset my router, so i can log in to change the setting as you mentioned.
Thanks for the advise.

Router is unifi rite if unifi router it is normal try change to tplink better

Yes! Can you provide the link please

Mine is Black color.

i would recommend Asus RT N13U or N15U
especially N15U actually since currently they have a promotion where you can trade in a router and have RM50 discount.

since no smartphone in my house had a problem connecting to it
from HTC to Nokia until Sony,

Asus is good but firmware still beta... you may need to do firmware upgrade later...
Tplink is official firmware no update and confirm stable by tplink

can anyone post a tutorial for CM10?

I've bought Sony Xperia Go Yellow (but not the Yellow Sports Edition version which includes a wrist strap) for my wife after her Sony Xperia X8 was stolen. Later, we've bought a black phone cover/case for it that comes free with a screen protector. Now, it looks like a Yellow Bumblebee! It is recently updated to the latest firmware 6.0.B.3.184 over-the-air even though I've checked the PTRCB website to reveal the latest certified firmware for ST27i (certified but it is not released yet for update):

http://www.ptcrb.com/vendor/complete/view_...m?modelid=21390

My incomplete review about it:

So far, I've tested it to play some videos from our DLNA server but it only plays up to 720p ones. It doesn't play 1080p videos even with third-party players available on Google Play. The videos are very clear and smooth.

I've installed avast! Mobile Security app and turn on its Anti-Theft feature this time (forgot to turn the feature on the stolen one). It can be controlled from my my.avast.com account: it is quite an interesting feature!

Game-wise: I've installed Dead Trigger (which is now free-to-play) and it is smooth.

Its GPS chipset is quite slow to acquire a GPS position in cold-start (it is not so sensitive when going inside a building unlike Xperia X8 even though it manages to see more than 10 satellites in view but it fails to get a fix immediately; maybe due to its low-noise filtering quality) but it is functional anyway when it does tracking.

Sometimes, I do notice no connection signal notification coming from it but it seldom happens. In most cases, it works fine and we even use Skype for video calling (it is quite cumbersome due to no front-facing cam; usually we do it via Wifi-N rather than telco network).

Use agps to get faster lock

Is there anyone that uses casing here?

i like it raw and expose because it shows its slim design
but thinking of getting a casing to evade needless scratch at back cover

I kinda think that naked Xperia with scratches is still better-looking and sexier than with case. Just that it affects resale value. God I hate cases!

any reason i would prefer cases for my ip4,ipad,s3,gnote but not for ST27i

Go Naked

Non stop surfing, whatsapp, twitter, facebook my battery life can last only 4++ hours with full screen brightness on then I need to recharge again...

Go naked for me cause the case can be replace later

i already got some minor scratches on my back casing ad..lol...since the damage is done, no point putting on a protective casing. let it be slim as it should be.

Sometimes it is just so difficult to get a lock, especially when using all these running apps, you can see that the connection is spotty.

I wanted to buy but I can hardly find any soft case (after my terrible experience using hard cases where the cases are so tight that it can damage the phone).

Only found 1 so far from seller tskhor (in Garage Sales). Price is RM34 including screen protector (excluding postage).

Thought of buying but the colours are not very attractive (yes, there is no transparent soft case).

I have similar issue too, the bloody screen keep flickering on 20% brightness

mine i dunno how many % brightness...

i off the backlight at home screen there only...

didn't have such issue

only issue i had with this phone
is that the backside...kinda have empty space because of the speaker on the right
making it kinda....well....not so sturdy to hold there

I'm looking to buy one but most shops offer at RM999 black or white only.
Any good recommendation of shop for the yellow edition and better price/promo?

where do you live at?
i can recommend a shop if you want,


i can't resist to wash this phone at least once a day

why would you wash it once a day? i hate it when the dust gets stuck in the earpiece and speaker when the phone gets wet, gotta wait till it dries then only can listen to music/hear people's voice normally

''regular fingerprint remover''
i just wipe it off with tissue or dry clothes oh...
well sometimes the speaker on the ear can reduce the volume if not dry properly

Folks,

Any recommended seller from penang island?Thanks,

look for bdl from this forums...

Ts , i found " Sony Xperia Go Official Thread [LT27i] v2, NXT 2012's IP67 with slim design"

our Unit should be ST27i or LT27i ?

Klang but work in Subang Jaya

Guys... I heard that the black version is stronger than yellow and white because it's made of different material. I treated it as hearsay only and thought it was quite ridiculous that different colour is made from different material. Plus if they wanted to make 1 colour stronger than the other, it should be the yellow one since it's the 'sports edition'.

Today, I went to the Sony Centre to check out the phone in person. I asked the guy there about this (expecting him to say that all colours are the same) and he actually confirmed that the black version's enclosure is made from stronger material, and the other two are just normal plastic!

I guess I'm gonna get the black one (but not yet). Was considering white at first, since black is a bit dull and my nephew already has a yellow phone. I guess a rugged phone can't be too fancy eh?

ok, i suspect black got extra soft rubber coat.
yellow just standard plastic. becos my another xperia is like that

waahh = =

din't notice that mistake,
probably i type it out while pronounce it out

fixing~

it is ST27i

bro all sony xperia case is made of PC (polycarbonet) just black they decided to go with rough surface... all plastic are durable... why black is different... according to sony the rough surface provide more grip when you are wearing glove... (hmmmm not making any sense since it is touch screen haha) but all plastic is same...

try to head out to SS14,but not the digital mall
but a shop nearby it
call as Photo Miami,
good service there with good price
just mention you are from LYN

TS, add me to the owner list, mine is black! got mine yesterday and really satisfied with it, hehe

just want to ask..does this phone touchscreen response nicely when your finger is wet??

make sure your screen isn't fully dripping with water as it may interfere
just take a deep breath and blow the screen,the water will move away from the screen nicely

share abit of picture hehe

But that's not what the Sony Centre guy said. He said the black one is made from a different material, it's tougher and more likely to survive from being dropped. He didn't say anything about rough surface or grip. He looked like he knew what he was talking about.

hehehe i dont trust sales rep that much

Probably he didn't have stock for other colours and was trying to push black instead.....I don't take salesman's word for granted.

Maybe. But he didn't promote anything to me, he was just there to help. Not like a 'salesman' that would push you to buy this or that. Plus this is Sony Centre we're talking about and I think he's smart enough to know that I was just there for the demo and won't pay the max RRP.

Okayla if I get the chance, I'll go to some other Sony Centre to double-confirm

p/s: I'm so mad there still isn't a real 'drop/crash test' video for this phone on Youtube. Tak abis2 water resistant test.

You people trust sales man too much

here is the proof... every plastic made my manufacturer need to have a stamp for recycle the stamp identify the plastic material used to made the case

here is the proof

The black plastic stamp there clearly shown (PC) which stands for polycarbonet material... this material is very durable which in automotive term called Metal replacement plastic... this material also used in bullet proof screen or blast resistant screen.

The white case is also mark with (PC) although I didnt take the picture but you can simply open and see for your self....

This cannot cheat... since it is EU regulations.

yellow bumble bee owner here. but it drop!!! colour tore out. heart pain to max. any idea to obtain the paint for this phone !!! >.<

just use it first... no worries... I bet sony will come out replacement back case soon enough

wish this phone has crystal clear type of housing..

Lol any other people bring this phone together into the bath cubicle???

Thanks for the pic
But what's that white line? Looks like a crack.

Is Sola made from same material? If so, I'll consider Sola once again.

Added on September 11, 2012, 8:43 pmSo when colour scraped, it revealed white plastic inside right?

I wonder if black is original colour or just paint. Do you know this, calvin_ng?

This post has been edited by Swordylove: Sep 11 2012, 08:43 PM

Black and White is original plastic... you can see the back of it... it is not painted...

If you mean the other side of the cover (that faces the inside of the phone), the yellow one is also yellow on the inside.

then not sure lor... I'll update when I "ter" drop my phone hehe

when i wake up in the morning, see my phone it show "no services"

wth, i have to switch on/off my phone.

-__________-"

maybe something happen when you are sleeping?
i didn't have to restart my phone at all if i have too but i do it once it awhile for refresh the memories cache,

put under your pillow case type?

My xperia go back case easy to loose lah.. at the left side near the sim card port.. when i push at center then the clip can look from outside it open a bit.. then when i tekan at side both have a sound like "krik2" it seems like the back case not fit good enough... is that this thing normal???

There are many people complaining about this. I think you can find a YouTube video on how to close it properly.

maybe put on a casing will solve your problem =D

i found out my battery drain so fast

8:00am full charge till 4:00pm now my battery left 20% only...

Is it because i keep DATA ON 24/7 ???
btw , i didn't keep constantly (twitter, facebook, whatsapp, calls, etc) using the phone.
only total around 30 mins i did check on my hp... (under normal usage)

anyway, do you guys ON the DATA 24/7 ?

This post has been edited by fusionnetx: Sep 13 2012, 04:15 PM

Mine data on 24/7 too. Can last for about 1.5 days.

But I am on 2G always because 3G always no network in this phone.

Finally! A real drop test!... A bit too high but okayla...

i was like..

oh god...when she throw that high lol

fffffuuhh!! open window & pik plak!


luckily not urs

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu mine lasted 23 hours 35minutes and still has 53% left...

Added on September 14, 2012, 4:15 am why so high???

not like people will bring their phone along when go 14th floor

was wondering...will screen protector reduces the possibility of cracked screen??

This post has been edited by alwinnng: Sep 14 2012, 04:15 AM

no for glass screen material
thick plastic will be better for screen crack prevention

guys, thinking of getting this next week

should i just get samsung galaxy w or this?

Added on September 14, 2012, 7:30 pmguys whats the difference between U, Sola and GO?

all looks the same to me

This post has been edited by adix4: Sep 14 2012, 07:30 PM

I have tried both galaxy mid to high end products
which is Galaxy W and Galaxy S advance



Then this smartphone arrive

see how it compare with Galaxy W

in your opinion, which one is worth getting?

If you are casual,by that i mean really casual user,

Samsung Galaxy S Advance have advantages here by having a 4''inch display and SAMOLED as well,
but after i get my hand on Xperia Go,

the interface of Xperia is much better than Galaxy in my opinion

3''5 inch and IP67 ratings really give a boost from my last Xperia Live With Walkman

not to mention this is slim design smartphone

go for xperia go!

btw, anyone know where i can get sony power bank?

ex-owner of W here...
didnt regret abandon that ship over to xperia go...

anyway still waiting for proper root on this phone...
until then its hard for me to try out many things on this phone...
