Hi everybody,

Well I got the Xperia Ray yesterday and after checking it out I have 2 questions about the phone:

1) Does the original battery come with 1500mAh or 1460mAh. I got mine from Germany and I was wondering if the 40mAh meant that something is wrong with my battery.

2) Before I give it to my wife (a.k.a.The Phone Slayer), I would like to ask what film would you recommend for the screen. I normally buy them through eBay and these 2 looked the best to me, but I do not know if more expensive means better when it comes to screen protection. I am opened to suggestions so please let me know which ones did you buy or would you recommend,

The ones that looked better than the rest price/quality wise:

2.1 - Quantity 10

2.2 - Quantity 6

After reading some of the suggestions I already bought a back protection (here). As soon as it arrives I can give some feedback if you want.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
Hello at last you bought the phone, welcome ;)

1. 1500mAh is the factory default. but the max capacity varies, mine can only charge till 4192mAh

2. About screen protector, well, i'll pass it to you.. for me i'll pick the cheapest.If got broken, just buy another :p

SIM unlock?

Hiya.

I just flashed aire's ICS kernel (boot_uv_ics_cm9_aire120423.img) and AOKP 4.0.4 Beta 1 KANG (+ AOKP_Patch). However, when I boot it doesn't ask for my SIM card PIN, and it therefore impossible for me to call. How do I enable SIM card unlock? (It is enabled by default in stock rom..)

Rooting&unlocking bootloader for oc

Hi

since that I'm a ios user and I'm a stranger to the android I have couple of questions

1.Do I have to Unlock bootloader and replace my kernel to oc the ray ?and if yes how can I do it ?

2.How much would be a safe cpu frequency ?eg 1.2ghz or....

3.And if I just unlock bootloader and replace my stock kernel with doomkernel can I still receive updates for my phone through Pc companion or OTA ?

you can do that now, i use flashtool.

---------- Post added at 11:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:29 AM ----------

would it because the rom are all the same.

you can also try downgrading back to GB using flashtool then using PCC to upgrade back to ICS as a update and not repair.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] *boy*racer*:
Thanks but I also done that. Its OK I used Wotan last night to flash stock gb for my country. So now I can receive official ics when it gets released to the UK.

But I'm using jj's revolution rom ATM and flash back to stock UK firmware to check for ics update.

Thanks for your reply mate

EDIT: and also the reason I wanted stock gb for UK was some people say that when ics was released in their county, it was alot smoother than the Nordic ones they flashed. So I'm hoping it will be they same. If all that makes sense lol
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kms108:
i'm not sure what the Nordic rom is, I always use the official rom through OTA or PCC, but the ics does run much smoother, but sony has blocked some feature that allow you to disable some of there apps.

I now have to setup my ray, just got it back from the service center, just had the phone back plate (back camera piece)replaced a few times, everytime they fixed a new one on, it's slightly cracked, and also had the screen replaced with a new one, because the top plastic piece does not click on tightly, and before that i had the MB changed, so it's basically a new phone.:p
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] *boy*racer*:
Ah see, I wish I always updated through pcc or ota and should of done a backup 1st so I would always have the original fw that came with my Ray.

Hope this time your ray will stay the way it is now. What do u do to it to have all these problems? Lol
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kms108:
I have a ftf rom of the HK version, download it from somewhere so i can always use flashtool to get back the official rom on my phone.

first i unlocked the BL using the official way which loses the DRM and some other features, so I had them to change the MB, as there is no way to get them back (didn't mention this too them, just said that some apps dont work) , and when they changed the MB they had to remover the black cover (back camera piece) so I found a crack and got them to replace that.

If the back piece is removed badly it will not close properly and leaves a gap between the battery cover and the section near the headphone socket, this will cause the headphone socket piece inside area to deform so the connection of the back plate and headphone socket piece dont fit well.

The headphone socket piece is connected as one piece with the screen, so the whole screen must also be replaced.

connect your phone to the PC using the USB cable, on notification bar it many show a USB sign or state connected as MTP, just drap the screen down and see if you can tap into the USB notification.

So now that I found out that my wifes' Xperia Ray has not received the official ICS update yet, I thought that maybe she can live with Gingerbread for a while longer.

But even after the repair (clean install of the stock rom), I have some very high battery drain. Not due to programs that I have installed as none are active in the background.

I only have wifi and 3g on all the time, but even when the phone screen is off the battery monitor widget is registering -115 to -140mah. When the screen is active the widget shows -380mah, which is normal.

My HD2 with a Gingerbread ROM (MIUI) is registering with WIFI and 3G on, -5mah to -9mah when screen off (and 2 e-mail accounts (gmail) are synchronizing all the time, plus whatsapp and other programs run in the background. Of course that with the screen on the HD eats -480mah easily, which is understandable due to the large screen.

Is this normal for XPeria Ray? Is it some bloatware that already came with the phone that is doing this?

Thank you all for your replies.

ICS speed

Hey guys, I recently flashed Nordic ICS for my Ray, and after using it for few days, I flashed official ICS for my country (Malaysia).

Basic questions about flashing ROMs

My Xperia Ray is recently updated to official ICS, the build number is: 4.1.A.0.562. The performance is somewhat reduced after the update so I want to try some custom ROMs like JJ's and RayoniumICS or at least official CM7.

I've been going through many posts in xda for rooting and flashing and little bit confused about the step by step way to go. However this Cyanogenmod wiki guide is very simple and the steps are very clear like:

1. Unlock the bootloader

2. Flash the boot.img with fastboot for CWM

3. Flash a ROM

My question is: Can I follow the Cyanogenmod guide to install CWM, now that I have ICS and not the GB ROM?? (Assume I want to flash some ICS ROM that I mentioned above)

If not, can someone show some lights to me about "why" do I need to use flashtool and/or SEtweak installer and the step by step way to do it.

I feel like a geek when I do all this on my Nexus One, but on this Xperia Ray, I feel like a n00b!!

Your help is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] TomHarrisRep:
Help!

So long story short I flashed the official ICS a few days ago and it worked but I wanted more. So I downloaded doomlords ics root tool and rooted it again, it all was working great until I rebooted it. Now it is stuck in an infinite loop of turning on than sony logo than turning off. It even does this if I put it in adb mode!

I can put it in adb mode and plug it into SEUS it says up to date software so I cant fix it through that.

If I put it in adb mode and try to reflash the stock firmware with flashtool but it reboots after a minute or so which is stopping the flashing from taking place.

Ive rooted and installed custom roms on my desire and tf101 with ease but this "issue" is waaaay beyond me.

Any help is appreciated!

Hi,

After hearing mixed responses, I've decided that I'm fed up of waiting for the ICS update (unbranded UK) and want to try it for myself before deciding whether to stick with it or not.

I made a backup of my original firmware with the Update Service and flashtool but I haven't unlocked my bootloader. Am I right in thinking I can download and install the Nordic ftf without having to unlock my bootloader? Also, if I decide to put my backed up GB firmware back on I could also update to the ICS firmware for my region without ever having to worry about my warranty etc.?

Thanks for your help (and I'm looking forward to trying out some of the ROMS when my warranty expires - if I hold out that long ;) )
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] *boy*racer*:
Hey, I'm also waiting for official ics and I'm from the UK. U don't need unlocked bootloader to flash .ftf files and it won't loose your warranty if you flash back to gb. But yeah you can flash Nordic ics as I have and have no problem.

Ps. What is your SI number? Just wondering as mine is 1252-3266. I forgot to back mine up so I paid wotan to get UK firmware back but it's not the same SI number (1252-3323). Just wondering if yours is closer to my original.
