[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Geo2160:
I decided to change my aging Galaxy S II because its dev community becane stagnant (no kernel sources, tons of kangs). The XT sounded perfect on paper : 720p screen, 13mp camera, Krait chipset, good sound quality and some great devs migrated to it. However after a week of use I can't help but feel a bitter taste in my mouth for buying it sight unseen (this phone is very hard to get in my country). Here is my little "rant", structured in in bullet points:

1) The screen acquired TONS of microscratches in just a week. I knew sony doesn't use gorilla glass, but this is terrible. I can't even pull it out of my pocket w/o fearing that it will scratch . I am very careful with my phone (my S2 was in pristine condition after two months of use with no screen protectors/cases), so I doubt it's me. Also, the screen itself is pretty bad, but I won't complain too much about it since I read about this in reviews and various topics around here.

2) The case paint already started peeling. Not much, but at this rate it will look like it's 2 years old in just a month. Such a shame since I love the finish.

Another point of concern is the audio quality. It has a discernible hiss no matter what headphones or music app I use. It's even worse on CM10 and since I got this phone mostly for the dev community this just sucks donkey balls. Every respectable reviewer complained about the SQ of the S2 and its background noise caused by the CPU/radios and none about the XT and yet it is easier to notice on the XT.

What is your opinion about this? I've seen that some topics already covered some of these issues, but I think they need to be brought again to the attention of potential buyers.

LE: It seems that my headphone jack port is also very flimsy. It falls off every time I try to put on / take off my case.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] GuestK00328:
Strange... My XT seems very robust, difficult to scratch and the ruberish coating seems perfect. Perhaps you should contact Sony and request a replacement. Check the booklets that came with it perhaps?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] LitoNi:
1) There is a shatter proof sheet applied on it. So the micro scratches is technically on that, not on the screen itself. Peel that off and apply a new screen protector.

2) Is a known issue for LT30p? I havent seen anyone posting issues with LT30at or LT30a atm.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Geo2160:
Is that sheet made of glass? I can't seem to be able to peel it. I heard that it should come with a screen protector, but i haven't found anything in the box.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Ambroos:
It's a very, very thick screen protector. It comes off but it takes some work. Trying to peel it off at the corners using a piece of paper seems to work best for most people, but you'll just have to spend some time on it if you really want to get it off :P

You should leave it on though, unless those microscratches really bother you.

On sound quality: it's perfectly fine for me and I use audiophile earbuds (these: https://pro.sony.com/bbsc/ssr/product-MDR7550/). It lacks a tiny bit of stereo separation and clarity, but not worse than any other phone at all.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Geo2160:
I thought it's something like this one, but preapplied since it didn't come in the box. Any tutorials on how to do it? I already ordered a 3M screen protector which should be much harder to scratch.

Also, what ROM/music player are you using?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] datagubben:
In contrast to you, I am not discouraging anyone to buy it.

Well, I am using Xperia V (LT25i) and perhaps it has different build quality since it has to withstand dirt and water? It has a metal frame (looks like atleast) and rubber on the backside. It also came with an extra screen protector in the box. I know you don't care about Xperia V but maybe somebody reading this wants to know? Only downside are all these flipp flop USB-, charger and headphone openings that has to be sealed after use.

In regard to music player, PowerAmp is a must for best sound! :good:

Hope you don't feel too bad about the Xperia T and Happy New Year!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Geo2160:
Of course it has different build quality. The IP57 certification is pretty rough. And the screen might be different too.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] datagubben:
I had mine since December 3rd with lots of time to test and use it. Maybe you got a faulty device, it happend to me before and I made DOA. Got a new phone in the shop next day.

Xperia V Walkman is good too, don't know if it is the same version as Xperia T.

Conclusion of Xperia V (if someone wants to know).

*No scratch on the display (one extra sheet in the box).

*Feels good in hand and sturdy built quality, no squeaky parts.

*Music and sound is fine, but if I want louder volume -I buy PowerAmp.

If it gets dirty-, too hot or scratched, just wash it with cold water. :p

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] clank201:
My T is perfectly working. No scratches, and the screen quality is superb. It also doesn't peel in the back.

---------- Post added at 02:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:24 AM ----------

The only thing i'found is that the back cover makes a little sound sometimes if I press it, like if it wasn't well attached. Sorry for my english.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] TimAhKin:
Sucks to hear that op. I have my XT since 15 November and I have no problems. The phone looks and works as new. No scratches, no poor performance. I have the newest firmware available and everything works just fine.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Geo2160:
Well, it isn't the performance that bothers me. Actually, the performance is great. And finally having CM10 with working project butter features is like a godsend. I'm just worried about the outer casing.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] LegibleEel:
Ive had my XT since it came out in UK, its great but the only problem I have is the build quality, I don't have the flaking issue, but more the phone creaking, its quite a annoying sound. I have a case but I only have it on when I go out.

Apart from that its awesome phone :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] SWFlyerUK:
I've also got the creaking issue. Also removed the rather thick shatter protector that has improved screen responsiveness and contract, slightly...

Would be interested in the Xperia Z though, if the price is right i'd exchange.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] DrSt01eR:
had my xperia t since october3rd not one scratch looks like new guess i take better care of mine that anyone else :p
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] davart:
Had mine since the 26th October. It's on O2 UK with the Bond branding.

Build quality is excellent thus far. No peeling. Screen has pre-applied protector, plus the one that came in the box. Very happy with it. Previous phone was an iPhone 3GS and had the original iPhone before that.

Android seems to have acquired 'polish' since I last tried it about a year ago.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] LukaNyan:
My T seem perfect until now (buyed 12/12/12)

The only problem si the poor wifi range.. it's too low compared to my previous LG optimus black.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] doministry:
No problems here so far...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] davart:
Further to my earlier post in this thread, the metal ring that accents the camera lens has fallen off. Looks like it was held on with double sided tape.

A minor problem. Wonder if Sony would be able to supple a replacement 'bezel'?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] del1701:
Bloody hell, doesn't sound to good, I just hope my xt fairs better.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] bigyinn:
Just got my T the other day, seems fairly substantial, but time will tell! As long as it doesnt start cracking like my ARC did around the front sensor!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Entropy512:
I've had one since mid-late December. This is the most solid-feeling device I've used in a long time. No screen scratch issues (however it DOES seem more likely to attract pocket dust/lint than any other device I've used), back materials aren't peeling or anything.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] .coomb.:
Hey everyone, for anyone having peeling problems, here's a quote from a Sony representative:

Start sending in your Xperia T!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] --anx--:
I've noticed a strange thing on my Xperia T white: exactly in correspondence to the micro sim/micro sd slot, the connection between the display bevel and the white cover "reveal" three white lines inside...well...I don't know how to explain that...it seems that there the bevel and the cover isn't perfectly connected...it's a question of less than a millimeter obviously, but i've noticed that...

Anyone with a white T can check it?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] -SlenderMan-:
Terrible build quality? I've been using Sony Ericsson and Sony's phones for over 8 years and the reason I buy it is because I can have it to drop more than 100 times without damaging internal parts. Yes there is scratches and small cracks on the corner but nothing major

Sent from your backyard...

Slender watches what you do...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] LegibleEel:
I have noticed that my XT has began peeling. Quite disappointed and concerned that it may eventually occur with other peoples XT, I have mine since launch and has only just presented itself.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] SWFlyerUK:
Terrible build quality indeed. The metal ring on the back of my camera lenses has fallen off. Only held on by tape! Wtf. Now lost it!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] LegibleEel:
I had the same issue, but not the camera ring. My headphone jack metal ring as fallen off. it seemed to have been stuck on with glue of some kind.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Geo2160:
Mine too. This just proves that online reviews are garbage when it comes to evaluating build quality.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] r-l:
i disagree. i havemy xperia since the second week of oktober and my phone still looks brand new. i all ready dropped it 4 times and still no damage on it. i only have a cheap hard gell gover around it (4 euro's on ebay).

No pealing, no thing dropping of it. it's one of the best phones i had in my life :good:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] thenext1:
My Xperia T started creaking on the second or third day I've had it, it creaks mostly on the left side when holding it tight to press buttons on the right side, then it creaks back into place if squeezing the glass to the back plastic in the upper left part. It also makes horrendous squeeks when fiddling around the microusb socket.

It's stayed the same since then, but the build quality, coming from 2 moto handsets (Defy and Atrix2) is a tragic step back, especially for a phone without a replaceable battery like the XT.

Also luckily, being a white one the rubber coating on the back can't peel off, because there's none at all.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] skullsquadzero:
Mine has fallen off as well. Only bought it a week ago. Oh well I could always use silver model paint.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] profchaos1981:
minor creaking noise

I also have a minor creaking noise from the back lower case and some times to the upper case. Its not a big deal but compared to the iphone build quality is something noticeable.So sony if you want to become SONY you need to be more careful with your build quality.

From the other hand the phone is very good .I Wish it had an aluminium back cover or at least a better material for a back case..

Then it would be perfect..

You really don't need to. Its the same thing. Just keep a tmo ROM on. It will still work. If anything flash a radio. I know on galaxy s 2 radios are compatible. Not sure about the s3 since the att version has lte.

Hi all,

I'm new to the forum, I've used it extensively over the last few days whilst rooting my new Kindle Fire HD - a great resource, thanks!

One little issue i do have is that the posts / threads do not fit into the window on my laptop, phone or desktop, i have to scroll \left to right as well as up and down. This doesn't happen on any of the other forums I'm using.

Does anyone else have this issue? Is it a settings problem, browser problem or site issue?

Any advice appreciated!

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x10man:
Same for mine, I'd just assumed imei was only for devices with mobile connectivity, like the nexus 7 3g and obviously phones, that being why the grouper doesn't have it.

Don't believe everything you read. Imei's are used to identify devices that connect to GSM networks. That is all.

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] subh98:
Because first we have to unlock boot loader which cannot be done by z4 root or any other app. So simply follow the official procedure.

i rooted using this procedure by jaggyjags. the most clean way by far i came across.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheATHEiST:
Try re-flashing rom or kernel or trying new rom or kernel. If you get same issue on others then its likely a hardware issue.

Here's the story:

To start with,I have no problems flashing or no problems in GUI or no force closes.

I successfully installed acid(universal edition) +Walkman in this thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2002367

I did some tweaks and made sound enhancements to work.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2059203

Everything is working except xloud and clear phase(which I would tick[check ]it and when I return to sound enhancements, it would be unchecked on it's own).NO IMPROVEMENTS IN SOUND QUALITY.

In an attempt to make it work,I made a fair guess, that it's related to audioeffectservice.apk.

It was put in system/app, but it was not installed.To test just click on the app, if the package manager shows up with "do you really want to replace a system app",then it's installed. But if it shows permissions then it's not installed.

Anyway the acid universal editions audioeffectservice. Apk was not signed at classes. Dex.

Even in other cases /threads, it's not installed because it has a shared user Id with Android system.

So, I signed the app with platform key as signed the whole Rom with this app.

Now I can check it and it will not go back to unchecked state, but still NO IMPROVEMENTS IN SOUND QUALITY.

The log shows either this

e/xloud (1069) illegal intent action

With some audioeffectservice.apk

Or

Something with settingproviders.apk that it's fully cached and some external modifications is done to it's data, which is not allowed by system.

So, my questions:

1.Has Anyone successfully installed acid with WORKING XLOUD(in terms of noticeable sound quality(during checking and unchecked xloud))?

2.If so how?

3.Did you test audioeffectservice.apk by clicking on it? And what response did you have?

Please don't give comments like wipe cache dalvik, do build prop changes, delete dsp,etc.

That's it people. Any reply is highly appreciated. :cool:
