[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jugger naut:
Thank you very much billard412 this has sticky written all over it.

There are a lot of people that came to the GIII from other devices, and the big bad foreign God Odin seems to scare them. IMOA it's a very underutilized and overlooked tool. 1 click and you have a new base band (modem), kernal, ROM, RPM, PIT and as long as you can get into download mode it doesn't matter what state of confusion your phone is in at the time, it's saved my arse more times than I can count.

P.S.

billard412 if the 412 refers to a time your 8 minutes early :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] billard412:
Most are marked and if they're not then they are most likely full wipe. I will get a full wipe lk3 up asap

Being a sprint user I am not 100% on how the locked thing works. To my understanding tho you needed something special for an unlocked bootloader to flash so there was no way to load it into this. So no

Can't agree more. And it seems people who dont know what they are doing scare others into thinking odin is bad news. And no, although 420 is also a special number in my life, 412 is my area code. Pittsburgh Representin'

Does anyone know how to get emoji working 4.1.1
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] white00gt:
I went the simplest route and installed handcent, and disable original sms (not required but last time I removed it was lazy this time around)has full emoji support with any key board you choose
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Intub8:
I feel ya.samsung should just incorporate it to the native message app
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] martinium:
Chompsms also works if you prefer a better looking SMS compared to handcent.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mest22:
You can use 3 third party apps, go sms , handcent, and others that all support emoji
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CamFlawless:
You can also try a custom ROM. I don't know how many of them have it, but it is built in to the native messaging app on Task's AOKP.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AndreaCristiano:
This is what I'm talking about it's native in the OS yet it doesn't work anywhere on the phone
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AndreaCristiano:
None of these work correctly

before switching to tasks rom, using go sms it worked rather well, never had an issue.....

Hi.

my 9100 when heating ,is shutdown (when charging is connected work god but when ia discount and use battery when heating device , is power of ).

My firmware is lsj 4.1.2 leak

Im factory reset +change kernel and reinstall frimware but not fix my problem...

I recommedn to install Better Battery Stats (BBS) app => http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1179809

Download and install v1.11.0.0 ... from thread or from Play store.

With this app you can record your battery stats, post the BBS dump file in the BBS thread and let it be analysed by the "experts".

Often it are some apps or settings which generate the "heating" and drain the battery, as they prevent the phone from going into deepsleep state (= wakelocks) or waking up the phone from deepsleep state (= alarms).

P.S.:

Good start for the leaked XXLSJ is XXLSJ NeatROM Lite v4.0 from salesale (=> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1569686) IMO.

Hey all,

i have a problem with my Xperia T. It seems like im not the only one having this problem -> http://talk.sonymobile.com/message/330391

Here are my photos:

It is not fall damage!

My Batch number is

12W44

Anyone have this problem aswell?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
I would just take it straight back to the shop and demand a new one
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] smardu:
Lol.

I just find out that mine is having the same problem but i don't think warranty will cover this. My phone is 1month old.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] downboy:
Great...back to my shortlist of upgrade options.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peetr_:
Same peeling here too. ;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] schaggo:
I suffer the same. Although less prominent and less exposed.

I noticed it after about 1 week at the headphones plug. Front side, above the camera hole, right above the clock display. Which I find odd, as this is at a spot where nothing touches the device. I will observe the issue and possibly go for an exchange if it worsens.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Fuzalert2k:
Xperia TX doesn't have this problem at all.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] downboy:
Only the Xperia T is available in my country :(
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Fuzalert2k:
Why not import an unlocked one from overseas? Better than having to pay for an over-expensive data plan and being struck on contract.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] kamekku:
Wow, I'm glad I'm not the only one with this issue. I've only had my Xperia T for a few days and already noticed some blank spots, just around the headphone jack and also a little scratch on the back. It actually doesn't bother me that much, since I had an iPhone 5 before and that looked MUCH worse after the first week... but if my XT is going to look the same in a few weeks, I'll definitely think about contacting Sony.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] downboy:
This was my initial plan. I since decided to rather not commit to the stress of the import process...not to mention if the device needs to be returned? I have really bad luck with phones, hence my concern over this thread.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] dskoric:
Unfortunately same problem here, after one week of usage already have 3 blank spots.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] DennisDD78:
I have T in use for a 4 weeks, no such a problem.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] LitoNi:
Does this only apply to Xperia t? Or the Xperia tl too? From the information I got, the Xperia tl has a different t back. Plastic top and bottom with metal in the middle I'm just not so sure whether the top and bottom is the same material as the Xperia t
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] SWFlyerUK:
Same here, a little nick in each corner of the device. Not impressed,have just received back my Xperia Tablet after they announced the waterproofing issue.

No point in exchanging, will just happen again the the back of the T,
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gvidas:
Same problem here, I got some ugly silicone cover to stop any further peeling.

Hope replacement back covers for XT will show up in future.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Torres77an:
I'm not to happy to hear this at all I've had mine for little over a week now and have not noticed this yet but will probably break down and cry when I do,this just ruined my night :-#

But actually I've just come to notice that the phone in these pictures isn't made of the same material as mine, mine has this soft rubbery plastic at both ends that feels quite nice and should help protect it from dings and scratches I don't see this in these pics it looks to be all one material straight through on the back of the phone am I right ?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] LitoNi:
You do realize that most people with this issue is with the Xperia T (LT30p) not the Xperia TL (LT30a) which is the north american version you have right?

LT30p - full plastic with coating

LT30a - Top and bottom plastic with coating, and Anodized Aluminum cover (mid section)

I've addressed this at Sony Mobile forum, and apparently some guy said the LT30a's back has the same plastic coating material as the LT30p;s back. Which I am still unsure of.

I've nearly checked all sites with videos/pictures and I do see some differences between the plastic part of the two version. I haven't gotten my LT30a yet, which will arrive next week. I do hope it doesn't have this issue, as i usually dont use cases.

Since you mentioned the difference of the two plastic coating, I would assume it is two different plastic with different coating?:eek:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] r-l:
No problem with my Xperia T, but i have a very nice silicom cover around it :D

got my phone 6 weeks now and it still looks brand new :P
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Torres77an:
Here in Canada it's still called the Xperia T but is still the same (Lt30a) model Xperia TL after reading I was looking at the model number of the people's phones who had replied to this forum but not all had used there phones to do so

the phone doesn't feel so plasticy or coated it's a solid device though it is actually plastic that they use on the back two different types .
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] babylonbwoy:
Wow ! It looks like someone tried to force pulling the back of the phone !?

When I bought mine the seller opened the still sealed box in front of me and I don't have this problem. You bought it in sealed box ?

Edit : oops, it appeared after using the phone, thought you had it like that from day one...

Sony's employee answerd finally!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] schaggo:
Excellent. Thanks for the heads up.

People following the sonymobile.com thread, could you keep us up to date here in this thread about the latest developments there? Its not that I am lazy, its just I dont want to register at a dozen forums to just follow single topics.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] .coomb.:
I have noticed some minor peeling tonight as I checked the phone when I pulled it out of my pocket. It's on the lower left corner and I've been babying the phone since day one. This really should not be happening, my phone is barely two weeks old.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] reptile64:
Galaxy S3 and iPhone 5 has the same problem too, just for your information.. LoL
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] davart:
Just checked my Xperia T. Purchased mine on O2 in the UK on 26th October. Mine is flawless (so far!).

Since the wear is on the corners - are you putting the phone into any kind of car holder etc?

I'm pretty careful with mine - key, coins in one pocket, phone in the other.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Duvel999:
Thx. for the work.

I also got a edge damaged rigthbelow of the phone..:cool:

My former ARC or X10 i had never such crappy covers.

Hope Sony takes it

SERIOUSLY

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] silasje1:
I don't use a carkit. Just a case which you slide the phone in and out (although the wearing happend before)

My new problem is that i get very small signs of wearing in 3 of the 4 corners now :(

I love the phone, but this wearing is just making my phone look ugly and i hope sony will recall any phones having this
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] reptile64:
What about the white colour? The same peeling situation there too? O_O
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Beready:
No problem so far and I use it alot putting back in and out of my jacket were some sharp edges are. I dont use any covers and I like the rubber coating keeps a good grip on the phone !
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] .coomb.:
Hey guys, here's a big update from Sony itself:

Start sending in those defective devices!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] schaggo:
Excellent, thanks for the heads up.

As pointed out earlier, I only have a very very small spot directly at the headphone jack which was there since like the second or third day but has not worsend since. It's still the exact same size and same spot. I wonder if it's even worth it to not have the device for like two weeks or so...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] silasje1:
I sended my phone and it is at the repair centrum since yesterday. I will report back soon
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Duvel999:
any update?

:cool:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] silasje1:
No sorry, it is still at the dutch sony repair (teleplan) I will write here what happens

Edit:

turns out i have to wait 2 weeks from now before they have the parts.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] silasje1:
My phone is back repaired under warranty :cowboy:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] schaggo:
Thanks for the heads up. I will probably do the same soon. How long did it take all together? About two weeks, right?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] silasje1:
it took about 2 weeks of repair. 1 week for sending it to an Dutch repair centrum which sends it to Sony. Then 2 weeks for repair and 1 week for sending back (and the weekends are calculated with this).

So shortly 2 weeks, but it really depends on the amount of backcovers they have
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] turbox:
Thanks for this information but how to be sure of this will be covered by waranty? If I send it in repair center and they're considering that's not covered they'll ask me to may tout send back my phone.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] YoMarK:
Had the same problem. Got a new T from the shop, hopefully it doesn't happen again, but it doubt it.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] turbox:
The answer of sony mobile (france) :

That explain of they can't confirm that it'll be repair under waranty.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] schaggo:
Generic answer, support probably sits in budapest or so and they have the strict directive to NOT promise anything to the end user.

As users get the device "repaired" it obviously is covered by default, standard warranty. Wouldn't bother too much.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] turbox:
Yes a generic answer but how to be sure that they don't ask me 60euros to get back my xperia T?

Is there any real support of Sony?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] schaggo:
Well, you're on xda developers, not sonymobile.com so it's kind of a moot point asking this question here, no one knows.

Send it in, or don't. It's your call, to be blunt.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] schaggo:
It got a bit worse on mine so I decided to send it in. Let's see what they do and how long it takes them.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Duvel999:
they replace the backcover & it takes 2 weeks:)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] schaggo:
Switzerland is a small country, post packages change site in 1 day :p

But yeah, it will hang around in my providers (had to do it via a provider shop) outbox for a week or so, then it will hang around in the repair center for a couple days and then in my providers inbox again for a week. I don't count on it in under a month...

Dug out my old HTC DesireZ in the meantime. I have to say damn, progress has been made in the last two years. Lot's of progress...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] schaggo:
An update: the phone was gone for 3 weeks, got it back, unrepaired. The service centre failed to spot any "obvious defects" as it stated, and returned the device untouched.

I refused acceptance of the untreated device and had it sent in again, right away. I will update how the story develops.

*sigh* rich Switzerland service centre refuses to replace a plastic back panel on a premium device.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Erica Law:
Sadly when I send in my phone the warranty does not cover. I had to pay 170$. Read the warranty and it said "We don't cover wear & tear"
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] turbox:
No comment :

Sony support ask me 35euros to recover my phone without back changed :crying:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Torres77an:
If you can find the housing of a LT30A and replace it with it then it should be a lot better it's a solid phone.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] LegibleEel:
Whoa yours is in a bad way. I put a case on mine when it started to peel and never took it off. Still looks the same as it did when I put it on.

Anywho, I thought you can get it repaired for free as its a defect?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Torres77an:
I don't think that's a defect it's just a coating that comes off after use .
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] trackattaker:
Mine had bad problems with the paint peeling off too. But I took it all off and the shiny plastic underneath doesn't look bad at all. The easiest way to remove all the paint is with a textile cloth. You have to rub from the outside in with a bit of pressure and it comes off in large pieces. Takes about 10 minutes. Only the sim card cover remains with the matte finish.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] LegibleEel:
I thought that problem only affected launch models of the phone. They also had the problems with the metal camera ring and headphone jack rings falling off.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Torres77an:
Hmm you might be partly right I don't own an LT30p I actually own an LT30a so there a little different on the LT30a it's metal on the back with similar plastic ends that can be popped off to reveal the screws for disassembly and the plastic dose seem to have a soft touch rubbery coating that peels off a bit after heavy usage but I didn't mind it so much as it seems to match the rest of the phone with it's darker black finish.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] KevMann:
hello, I had the same problem the first who wrote this article but I it's worse, I even lost the tip of chrome found on the lens of the camera and this is what piece Free sells only on the internet?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] turbox:
After more than 2 month in repair center with many email, my back cover of my xperia T have been changer under waranty. Thank to sony community manager. Repair center are non-professional and idiot (Acean and Allopsn in france) but keep hope. The waranty is 2 year and not only 1 month.

Please can someone help me out.

i am sort of technically minded but not quite a computer wizz.

my wife has a huawei ascend but since updating to ics the phone seemed very sluggish slow and bloated. i got online and found a lot were having the same issues and then i found instructions on how to load a custom version of ics that would not slow and was generally better. i did find the instructions quite straight forward but stupidly i missed one step so once it came to the final stage the custom ics just would not load. i left the phone for a few days, planning to just repeat everything from scratch but before i had a chance an update became available on the phone and my wife choose to install it. which then lead to this message, "image signature verify fail your app boot image may have an incorrect signature. please update your image to a signature official one.

although i dont fully understand un rooting a phone i guess this is the reason.

As i have said i am not a computer wizz so wont understand a lot of technical terms but i can follow instructions so if anyone knows what i can do then please please help me.

Thanks
