Just curious since youre using a tl already, do you have it rooted or unlocked? I ask because I'll be looking to removed the at&t bloatware when I get mine.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Spectre51:
Rooted yes unlocked no. The bootloader is in fact locked like most AT&T phones :(
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] CAmmon:
Is rooting enough to remove the junk from the phone? Sorry for the very uneducated question but i have yet to even own a smartphone. Been hanging onto the w810i for about 7 years now.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
yes.

Use titanium backup app. free version from the market
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Spectre51:
Or what I do is use Root Explorer and delete the AT&T apps and other system apps I do not want (and know are safe to remove).

Is anyone else having issues connecting to the wireless with this phone?

What about 4G, does 4G still work after you root? can you post link to instruction. thanks

If you mean LTE yes it works after root. Everything does. Look for bin4ry's root app for instructions on that:

can someone share pros and cons of this phone
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] alkhemista:
Hey all, first android and I've got a couple of questions..

How does one access the task manager? Is there a way to set it to hot-key( hold home )? What does a healthy task manager look like? ( What processes can I safely kill? ) Also, what AT&T bloatware can I remove that is useless?

Thanks a bunch. Looking forward to this new era of android!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Spectre51:
All of the AT&T apps can be removed once you root without issue. I also remove Yellow pages, CityID, neo reader, and Google books and movies and all the japanese/chinese keyboards.

The recent apps menu is accessed by hitting the on-screen button to the right of the home button. To access running tasks/apps you have to go into settings-> apps or get task manager app.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Entropy512:
I'm really hoping this changes for off-contract devices... But it probably won't. :(

Too bad that I don't think the Block B LTE spectrum has the same open access provisions as the Block C spectrum.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Entropy512:
To my knowledge, no. In fact, SIMlock is why we are forced to live with a bootloader lock. :(

That's the pattern with Sonys - if a device is SIM-unlocked, it almost always has an unlockable bootloader. If it is SIM-locked, it will not have an unlockable bootloader as an additional technical measure.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] fredastere:
Hi Guys,

Anyone knows the compatibility of this with North American carriers?

http://www.expansys-usa.com/sony-xperia-t-android-smartphone-black-unlocked-236113/

It looks SIM unlocked but can't find much info on the LTE bands and such, from previous reading usually when it is SIM unlocked the bootloader is unlocked as well, but does anyone know?0

I'm interested in compatibility with Rogers in Canada but tought perhaps this device could interest other american fellows :) so perhaps the compatibility with AT&T or others.

Thanks in advance,

Cheers

*EDIT*

Guess I was blind....from the website:

GSM GPRS / EDGE 850/900/1800/1900; UMTS HSPA + 850,900,1700,1900,2100

I'm sorry for the noob question but does that make it LTE compatible?

My thoughts on Xperia TL

I wish Sony kept the power and volume rocker button on TL similar to TX. Just makes the phone feel rough to hold. Also the USB should be moved to bottom and make the phone more nicer to hold. The more I look at Nexus 4, the more I feel Google paid more attention to ergonomics than looks. If I keep TL, i might consider getting gelaskins just to cover the front bottom.

Pros

1. Sony Android skin is the BEST!!!

2. Phone feels solid and very well built.

3. Great camera and screen.

Cons

1. Too many rough edges to the phone due to placement of power, volume rocker, and camera buttons.

2. Ugly shaped USB port.

3. Ugly AT&T logo on prime spot.

4. Need to test more but ear piece sounds weird and has low sound.

I think problems 1 & 2 won't feel an issue if you use phone case plus one might get used to keep fingers away from the buttons area.

Issue 3 can easily be hidden with a simple clean gelaskin to cover just the front bottom.

If someone makes a nice Xperia logo skin to cover the AT&T logo on the front it should sell like hotcakes.

What Sony and other phone makers should consider in future phone designs is to have good ergonomics to phone along with design.

I think phone's should have capacitive buttons and home button should be hard key like SIII and should work to unlock phone instead of trying to reach power button. On screen buttons just waste lot of screen space and is a bad idea for phone unless the screen is almost close to the edge of the bezel.

Overall, I am happy with the phone after using Arc for over a year. But, I will seriously look at Nexus 4, and Lumia 920 in the coming weeks and see my TL is can still win me.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] bagofsnakes:
Sorry for the ignorance, but is this the file I can flash to my TL to "debrand" it and keep LTE functioning?

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] augie7107:

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Spectre51:
That might be the LT30a which should have LTE according to the certified firmwares at ptcrb.com. The LT30p does not have LTE. Hopefully they release a generic unbranded version for Canada then us LT30at users can use that firmware.

Is it possible to change the title to "Xperia TL"?

If I do a google search on "Xperia TL" under discussion, guess what shows up first? - the thread I opened up that was closed by Greg and the mods. :(

This will make the TL thread easily searchable. There are too many T threads that dilutes the TL thread.

Thank You.

I just tried Bin4ry's root method v15 for my TL.

I'm getting this error "Error type 3

Error: Activity class {com.sonyericsson.vendor.backuprestore/com.sonyericsson.ve

ndor.backuprestore.ui.BackupActivity} does not exist."

Like it doesn't exist. I don't see backup-restore under apps tray, but i do see it under settings/applications but can't run it. I'm assuming I'm missing something.

Nevermind. Found the Backup Restore on another thread from arielhezi.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Tae.One:
I had the same problem. You need to download the Sony Backup & Restore apk. You can find it here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1898240

Use something like apk installer to install it then try rooting it again.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Spectre51:
You need to install the Backup & Restore APK as stated in the bottom of Bin4ry's first post found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] drew1129:
Thanks guys. That's what i meant in my post. I found the Backup and Restore apk under a thread by arielhezi. And i did miss the very end of Bin4ry's thread where it mentioned that. My fault. Anyway its working fine now.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] s_goff:
Just a note for anyone else rooting via the Bin4ry script tool (I also used v15), I just attempted this on my TL, and in addition to installing the Sony Ericsson backup and restore .apk as noted above, I had to let the phone install PC Companion over USB. None of the other ADB drivers I found would work for the device; MTP was working fine without drivers, but the TL still registered as having driver issues; this was only fixed by pushing the previously mentioned software onto Win7 from the phone over USB.

If you, like me, dismissed the option to install PC Companion when it flashed up on your device upon connection to USB, you can retrigger installation by going to Settings>>Xperia>>Connectivity>>Install PC Companion when you are connected over USB to your computer. This, in addition to installing the software for updating your device, transferring files, etc., also installs ADB device drivers. Without these drivers, at least in my experience, the Bin4ry v15 root & restore script would not work.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] alkhemista:
Does rooting remove LTE?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] hkjr:
It does not.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] s_goff:
Yep, LTE still working great for me post-root, as are all of the other features of the device.

Another note: I tried using My Backup Pro to uninstall the AT&T apps after rooting, and I was not able to; After going through the uninstall process in My Backup, the apps would still show up in the app tray, and Google Play would immediately start installing updates for the "deleted" apps. I tried breaking the market links to the apps I wanted to delete, but apparently that feature of My Backup no longer works as of JellyBean. However, I was able to freeze the apps, and at least hide them that way.

How are other people removing their bloatware? Is Titanium Backup better for this?

Yes, try titanium, and also this is not a jelly been ROM, it is ICS

Hi,

I recently made a switch to CM9. I was using an App made for webOS called Zite. I like Zite and want to continue using it. I found app in Google Play. I am trying to install Zite from Google Play. But it shows message that "your device is not compatible with this version". I tried modifying build.prop but there was no impact. Is there a way to install Zite on CM9?

[TouchPad General] Nomad1600:
If you can't get Zite working well for you you might want to look at the app called Google Currents. Even when I was using webos I wasn't a big fan of Zite . Currents works pretty well.
[TouchPad General] cvcduty:
I have never used Zite but as others mentioned, Flipboard (side load required), Google Currents (loads fine from market) & Pulse (market loadable) are a few that work perfectly good on TP.
[TouchPad General] captor8:
Thanks for responses. I have Flip board, Google currents, APPY Geek and Pulse in addition to Zite. I use all these apps. I almost exclusively use those :) . I recollect installing all these from play store with cm9 June version. No side loading. But now (with aug version) it won't let me. Even Flip board says app is not compatible, however I have it already installed. My major issue with Flip board is, it only works in portrait mode.

Zite on webOS is beautiful. I am a business user and am one of those who like webOS's simple user interface.

I want to hide one book/folder in SNote. Is there a way that I can do it within the SNote app? Or would I have to use a file manager like Astro and change the file name to hide the file? Or are there other apps that would hide the files for me?

I would like to hide a diary folder that I plan to use and add entries to several times a week. I have hidden photos in the past that I didn't want to access that often, so changing the file name with Astro was not a problem for situations like that.
