Well I can't promise any more PM's about this subject will be answered as moderators are busy people even if users don't like it ;) As explained this is how it is so people can learn to be descriptive when posting threads, it's not hard just put V in the title! There's no reason for a general V section, just ignore that the General says T as it can be used for all T models and V, the titles have just always been T as that's the international model.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] thejosetree:
Anyone with xperia V can make a screen comparison with xperia S/T/TX?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] dbarber996:
Random question: anyone know if there are plans for the V to be sold in the USA?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Felimenta97:
Is the V Status Bar different from the T one? If yes, someone could take a screenshot of it? I'm curious.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Ambroos:
It's the same :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Felimenta97:
It is the AX one that is different, isn't it?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Ambroos:
As far as I know all late 2012 devices have the exact same interface.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Till-Kruspe:
Yup...it has more toggle...rotation, wifi hotspot etc...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Ambroos:
Oh THOSE. Yeah, sorry, they are different.

fyi, I've got an official email saying that sony xperia V will be released in mid january 2013 here in the Netherlands. Pm me if you'd like to see the email as it's in dutch :good:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] datagubben:
Got my Xperia V today here in Sweden with extra large Sony headphones. :good:

Its a nice phone-, nice apps, widgets and all the new Sony stuff.

Feels good in the hand and in general very happy with it.

It has 4G and waterproof also :good:

I give it 4 out of 5 points.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] wobrim:
I got my V yesterday. Upgraded from a iPhone 4 and I love it so far.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] lee480:
Xperia V or Xperia Ion? I actually wanted the Xperia T, but in Singapore, they are not planning to sell the Xperia T. I currently hold the Xperia U. But was forced to change it as the screen was too small. Xperia Ion is oddly more expensive then the V, but I really want the screen estate. I'm also eyeing on the Optimum X4 but for some reason, I don't trust LG. The Optimum is a quad core and is way cheaper then the both, and have a IPS 4.7" screen. Advice please :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] olipheus:
I've had mine for a week, and I like it alot.

Android 4.0 has it's flaws with smoothness, but all in all it's a great phone.

I've had some slight problems with hangups tho. Seems like the phone gets stuck in deep sleep. Is anyone else experiencing this problems?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Rechargelegend:
Had problems with hangups to. Did a factory reset and now its working great.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] spida_singh:
Are their any online retailers shipping this internationally?

i´ve answered this earlier look at post #42 and #46
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] hjonne:
Had mine Xperia V for 3-4 days now, over all impression is quite good. However it does get extremely hot sometimes just from some average usages such as surfing, looking at photos and music.

One other quite strange thing is that the internal 8gb memory storage is mounted under /mnt/sdcard, while the actual SD-card is mounted under /mnt/ext_card.

This creates some problems since all app's sd-card data is put on the smaller internal memory, e.g when offline-synching spotify which I cant do now since it maxed out the internal memory immediately.

Heard that JB is supposed to fix this somehow, but could there be some fix in the meantime? i.e setting where the /Android/data directory should be put
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] chrisp7:
I got mine shipped from Sweden on the weekend - it really is a lovely phone - the perfect size. I dont know how anyone copes with the SIII (and I have big hands). I look forward to Jelly Bean for Google now, but other than that ICS is pretty smooth so all good. Going from the Xperia U to this is a revelation.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] spida_singh:
Which retailer did you use, im from the UK trying to order one, but requires a ID number when registering on CDON.

Any ideas?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] chompiz:
CDON doesnt ship overseas.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] funiewski:
sorry bylund it´s not correct, check cdon.eu
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] chompiz:
Missed that site. But they don't sell any phones trough that site. Only music and merchandise what I can see.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] funiewski:
np, it's nice that people want to buy from us, we use to be the most expensive country in the world :D
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] spida_singh:
Cheers

If anyone finds a site which ships to the UK, let us know :D. Will keep looking.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] chompiz:
Will take a better look when my wife decides to leave the computer. Takes to long time zooming in and out all the time doing it trough my phone.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] chompiz:
Can't find any retailers in Sweden that ships to UK.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] lee480:
Haha why not you buy from me via eBay and I will ship to you haha

Weird they say the design is "standard". Design should be "gorgeous" if you ask me :P
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] shockwaverider:
I'm picking up my V from the shop today, just to confirm, does it use microsim?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] spida_singh:
Do the phones from:

http://www.clickok.se/PartDetail.aspx?q=p:5378435

Have unlockable bootloaders? Ready to buy, just want to make sure it's unlockable, there is no carrier branding of any sort is there?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] datagubben:
Yes, microSIM.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] mr.sev:
Had a brief play with an Xperia V here in HK, apparently stock is arriving on the weekend.

Coming from Samsung S series, I really missed having dedicated option button. Multitask is a complete waste for me. I had to go into App Folder to find Settings app, felt like big waste of time/bad UI compared to my Samsung experience.

Physically the phone feels great, and bigger in real-life than I thought from photos. If you are regular music listener, I think the headphone jack protective cover might get annoying/in-the-way.

The buttons, in particular the power button felt too small.

There was about 3.7GB free on the store demo models built-in storage available, not sure if that matches out of box capacity.

Screen appeared really bright and text was very clear/crisp to read.

Speaking again about option button, one would selectively light up (far right bottom bar) in some apps, but inconsistently (sometimes it would be software-based at top right of app, other times on the home button bar).

Would really need to see how it performs with secondary launcher and a few tweaks.

Oh, and store model was running 4.0.4.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] chompiz:
Next time you take a look at a phone take more then 5 min of your time to do it.

Settings for exempel is available by pulling down notificationbar. If you had done a true "I'm planning to buy this phone" test you would have found that out.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Daffiestlime:
So, does the Xperia V have any "stock" Jelly Bean roms yet? Or are there any being made?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] mr.sev:
Exempel? Not sure if that's a typo or something I should spend more than 5 minutes googling.

FYI, the store phone was in Chinese, so the first thing I looked to do was hit Options->Language&Input to change to English. That's where I got stuck hitting MultiTask till the guy said I had to go into the App Folder and find the Settings App. I didn't notice settings in the notification bar, but thank you for pointing out that it's there in one of the more dickish ways possible.

You'll also notice I'm not trolling on the phone, just pointing out my opinions from

real-world experience

(however brief). I also point out that I'm coming from a Galaxy S (currently Note 2) phone, so there would obviously be differences in the Xperia Android implementation I might not know about.

Sheesh. Lighten up.

Seriously,
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Maximusmurf:
I am from Belgium, really eager to get the Xperia V... I've mailed CDON.com to see if they ship to BE, let's see if they reply. :D

Is there a difference between different models of the V regarding the unlock-ability of the bootloader? Or only between T/TL and V?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] funiewski:
As long you are buying from Sweden and the phone is without contract and not from mobile network providers here there are no problems with unlocking,
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Maximusmurf:
Won't come to BE before the end of January or beginning February AFAIK?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] funiewski:
sorry, i send my post with errors:o look again pls
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Maximusmurf:

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

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] funiewski:
for now we have an unsecure kernel, you can delete all bloatware and install titanium for backup, and oc other apps demanding root
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] o>c:
Got my Xperia V as well today. At first I was shocked by the slightly yellowish display for the white background, then I found that this might have something to do with the room lighting, it got normal when in a dark room. From the experience of the TX users (not sure if it was a rumor by competitors though) I checked the software->touch firmware version in the engineering mode and the value is 55. Another issue I noticed is that the phone is quite picky for chargers, it charges slowly through the stock charger, not responsive to two external batteries, painfully slow through a Samsung charger, but quite fast through a generic USB cable plugged to a PC. This may get on my nerves. Other than this I am quite satisfied with it response, browsing speed and battery life (for the moment).
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] thejosetree:
I agree with you. The screen has a very strange yellowish tone. Viewing angles are poor also, and sensor in lens doesn't make a huge difference.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] datagubben:
I don't agree, got my second Xperia V today (the first at 4th of December) and all is nice. Auto backlight working good and no yellow tint of the screen.

I also got OTA update to the latest firmware now (17MB download) :good:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Ambroos:
The Xperia V won't come to Belgium at all because of the lack of LTE networks (aside Proximus). You might be able to get it from Coolblue (which will ship Dutch handsets starting in January) but you'll never find one in a real Belgian webshop or retailer.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Maximusmurf:
Both proximus and mobistar are running LTE tests.. coolblue and pixmania both have it on their site as "expected", but since october already :(

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] buljo:
I've had my V for 2 days now, can only say i love it so far. Perfect screensize and premium feel.

Hoping the charging dock arrives soon at the stores. Don't know to much about batterylife yet.

Also hoping we could get our own general forum soon, this phone is bound to be under many Christmas trees this year.. It's truly great..
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] spida_singh:
Just a bump on this question guys, do we know if the ones from the quoted store come with unlockable bootloaders? is there any carrier branding?

Regards
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] funiewski:
i think i have answered question like this one before, if you buy phone here in Sweden without contract and not from one of the mobile networks providers they don´t use to be locked
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Ambroos:
Proximus has it's LTE network available for a few weeks now. Mobistar is indeed running tests but don't expect their network to be available any time soon.

Coolblue and Pixmania are Dutch and French, not Belgian :) Pixmania is also really, really crappy.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] rafalucas:
has anyone actually tried using the phone under water, watching videos/ taking photo??
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] squarejp:
There is no dedicated camera buttons to activate underwater photographs

You can't take photos under water because the touch screen isn't responsive. You can however activate video recording before submerging your phone under water.

New Firmware 9.0.1.D.0.10

The roll out of the new Firmware 9.0.1.D.0.10 has probably completed many places.

I've been trying to figure out was has been changed. I haven't found any official info. What I have noticed is that the camera has been reduced from 13MP to 12MP. I cannot choose 13MP anymore. See the picture provided.

The battery life has been slighly improved. Other that this I haven't noticed any change.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Magnusb73:
Cant you choose 13mp if you put the camera in "Normal" mode instead of "Auto" mode? I don't have my V yet soo can't test :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] buljo:
Youre a genius, that was utterly correct.:)

Why is that so btw? I always ended up using 9mp cause of 16:9 so it fills the screen.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Magnusb73:
Dont know why they did that, but glad it worked :)

I've got my V now and always have the camera in Normal mode the auto mode wasn't that good... ;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] buljo:
Do you use 13mp mode or do you too find the 4:3 view annoying?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Magnusb73:
I'm a photographer so I never takes any pictures in 16:9 mode, if I want that format I take the picture so I can crop it later on ;)

Place to buy Xperia V

Hey guys,

I ordered mine on Negri Electronics (Google it, the forum does not let me post a direct link till I post 10 threads, and that is not my problem). They appear to ship overseas (outside the USA), though you don't get free shipping. Try it out. Mine is on its way to me, estimated date of delivery is on Monday, 24 December, 2012 (why can't it come today :crying:??!!).

And BTW, you might wanna checkout their insurance too. It says something like lost and stolen phones are also covered, and will be exchanged for a new one, with a $75 deductible. If that fits your bill, you are welcome!!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] buljo:
Championswimmer.. Youre awesome. When can we expect a release?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] championswimmer:
Done already :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] thejosetree:
I've found that V is the more audiophile phone by SONY. No distortion, more clear sound, deep bass but very equilibrated.

Xperia T/TX has a little distortion on high frequencies. Xperia V not.

It's a very good sounding device.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] labbe-:
Hello guys,

just ordered my Xperia V from Verkkokauppa.com (Finland) today and hoping it will also have unlocked bootloader since they are not affeliated with any of the operators here. Can't wait to get it to my hands, must feel wonderful after half year struggling with the lag/size monster that is SGS3. Finally got rid of it when charging suddenly died and the CM support is awful, though CM10.1 was bearable.

Happy holidays, will report back when I get my V :fingers-crossed:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] championswimmer:
Already developed first crack on digitizer.

Since bottom right corner, not a problem as there is no button to touch there except menu button when on apps like Facebook. (And on aokp I amyways can customize my navbar)

Problem is digitizer and LCD screen has to be bought together for V and right now I can find where to buy.

Will have to wait for large scale release throughout the world to get more spares available

Also just want to confirm with others, there is a screen protector on the screen already with yours XV?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] chunlianghere:
it already comes with a screen protector pasted on the screen.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] datagubben:
Its not same as screen protector, the prepasted one is shatter protection not scratch resistant. If you like scratch resistant, then use the protector that came with the box.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] hernit:
My one doesn't come with a separate protector in the box, so I will just bear with the preinstalled anti-shatter one until I remove it and replace it with an aftermarket one.

Does the Xperia V get hot easily?

My Acro S gets blazing no matter what I do. o_O
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Ambroos:
Well we're not talking the same phones here, but my Xperia T gets almost as hot as my Xperia S after playing games or surfing over HSPA. It also doesn't get as hot as fast, but it still does. So it's better but not completely 'cool' (pretty normal considering the huge amount of processing power these phones pack nowadays).
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Utacka:
If I turn off LTE my phone never gets hot, but then again I havent tried played any game ever. It can get a little warm downloading 1gb+ files throu wifi, havent tested downloading large data on 3G.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] stickman951:
The upper portion of the phone, around the camera, gets very noticeably hotter after about 10 minutes of intensive gaming.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] morsti:
My V gets hot when surfing LTE speed. Usually it takes some time, more than 15 min. But when surfing at seriously high speed like more than 70GB it gets really hot just in about 5 min.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] datagubben:
I know you want to remove the loose part inside (after dropping it on the floor), but belive me, disassembly is a pain in the ass especially screen parts. Just pretend it's an extra surprise that came with the phone and Happy New Year. :D

ok, after looonggg ive read from page 1, then i wanna ask to u all users :)

i have 2 choice for changing my XMP right now, it must be Acro S and this V.

CMIIW Acro S batt 1950mAh v XV 1700mAh while Acro S have S3 v XV S4 krait.

how about the battery?

i read somewhere if S4 proccie is more efficient than S3, so is that performing well on V's 1700mAh?

how about V perform in the water?

3 of my friends have Acro n tested that perform well on the water, something like taking photos (bcoz dedicated shutter key), the touch screen (work nicely on the water).

my brain is more V than Acro bcoz i already had 3 friends handed Acro :sly:

i come frm indonesia, n V is not release yet :(
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] ZN6:
I will say Xperia V because it have new Snapdragon S4 processor and...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] andrasandhi:
and..... thats the only advantages of this phone (maybe?)

on white paper, this phone seems promising but almost same with Acro's (only different CPU n GPU, V with removable and polished BE2 display), thats why i confused.

announced at aug'12, but not yet release at the most big countries (why?)

another question.

i've read many comparer sites about V and Acro, i found V with "splash-proof" then Acro with "water resistant".

what the different is? :sly:

the both is same certified IP57, but that info make me confused (again).
