What do you all think? I'll update this post as anymore info comes.
[Sony Tablet S] lukesjeans:
Well I guess I'm not getting note 10.1....sounds awesome can't wait!
[Sony Tablet S] ascariss:
If sony also added pen input like the note 10.1 this would be the ultimate tablet. Probably will be shown at MWC in late february.
[Sony Tablet S] lukesjeans:
Yes ..... it needs something or else its just another android tablet ...Asus has the keyboard ....Samsung has the pen....Wonder what Sony has.
[Sony Tablet S] SWFlyerUK:
Are you joking? I've just bought the Xperia Tab S and now another, even better device?

Sour taste in my mouth I must admit, not overly happy, there's no way I could flog this device for anything close to the RRP and with this spec of a Tablet around the corner, Sony will quickly drop support for this 2012 device.
[Sony Tablet S] Raedek:
Are you Kidding me, Sony?! Now the xperia s is just about worthless in terms of support. Won't be seeing anything above 4.1. Only will just be updated to last years software, and then a new model comes out. Why would they even make the xperia s when they've obviously had the xperia Z in mind, if not even in the making for quite some time. Should at least have released them at the same time, like a big and small version of the same basic model..

Now I know how the Apple-boys felt, when iPad 4 was announced 3 months after iPad 3. Not very customer-friendly tactics.. :)
[Sony Tablet S] alkhemista:
Strong disappoint.
[Sony Tablet S] DdcCabuslay:
Water and dust resistance? Folded design?

Sony had the IR blaster then Samsung copied it I think.
[Sony Tablet S] sengoku:
It's all about release date and price.

my xperia tablets still needs the hd screen so im interested.

if the pricing is right i might go for it but i'll doubt they will release it anytime soon.

if they wont unlock bootloaders for tab and xperia tab i'm wont stay with sony and might go for asus instead.

knowing sony they might wait till jul or nov and thats PS4 time :D

thats still to far off for me to sell my xperia and go with out till release date.:silly:

but looking at those specs and that sony should care to release a relevant piece of kit it should be more round march
[Sony Tablet S] Ubichinon:
Exactly my thoughts on this... They had how much, year and a half between the S1 and S2, now 6-7 months later theyll release the Tablet Z? And i really hate how there are super slow updates / no dev support / locked bootloaders / unrootable devices on sony :<
[Sony Tablet S] SWFlyerUK:
It's the same with the Xperia T Ubichinon, I bought that too in early December as Sony's flagship 2012 phone, not to my amusement, in early January they announce the Xperia Z, their flagship 2013 device that is twice as good as the T.

It's funny, I was just thinking what an awesome device this would've been with NFC and an HD screen and now this 'annoucnment'?

Given it's 10.1, storage space, HD screen, NFC and water/dust resistant, I'd say it would be around the £450 mark. I assume where talking the same IP55/57 as the Xperia Z.

I would buy if some sort of 'compensation' was given, either 20% off if you have the Xperia Tab & the accessories are still comp.
[Sony Tablet S] lukesjeans:
yes Samsung did copy...Sony does it better....ive never seen a point for water resistant
[Sony Tablet S] DdcCabuslay:
This is tablet is pretty much confirmed.

NTT Docomo is set to unveil the tablet in Japan on January 22. That would probably mean the international unveiling will be at MWC.

[Sony Tablet S] ascariss:
I am not sure this replaces the tablet S, the device seems to be more higher spec and will undoubtedly cost more, although if priced too high, it will be dead on arrival.
[Sony Tablet S] zaynal:
6000mah for screen that size? Probably they're using the same Power Management tool from Xperia Z smartphone.

Re: [NEWS/RUMOURS] Xperia Tablet Z/C690X "Pollux"

Pff, when i bought my x10 mini pro, 2 months later sony announces sk17 mini pro, now i bought my sony tablet s1 and announce xperia s and xperia z, i think my next device will be a nexus or samsung, sony are doing bad.

One important point are the x10 mini pro have unlocked bootloader, sony tablets no.

I have no idea... Possibly, if they made this as the tablet version of the Xperia Z. It looks like glass from the pictures but I don't want to speculate too much.

[Sony Tablet S] SWFlyerUK:
Mobile Bravia Engine was something I would've loved in the Xperia Tablet S, perhaps they add it with the JB update. Hope so.

Not sure about the design, I think I prefers the XT S design.

Like I said, if the price is right i'll buy it. Looks like it does use the Xperia Z launcher afterall.

I thought the XT S tablet used the Exmor R sensor? I also see that engadget have said that the device is a huge leap up from the retiring Xperia Tablet S. Retiring?

Looks nice.
[Sony Tablet S] Ubichinon:
If there is a root method in XTS, then someone can port bravia engine to it ;)
[Sony Tablet S] ascariss:
Hmm the design is no surprise, feels like a giant xperia z phone turned into a tablet basically, doesn't mean that this is bad, but I feel sony could use some of this design in their future windows 8 tablets
[Sony Tablet S] looker1:
Agree. It looks like "regular" WM8 tablet...
[Sony Tablet S] Zarien:
Nice but generic design. Still love the wedge design on Tablet S and Xperia Tablet S.
[Sony Tablet S] MarioNico:
Sony did said that it wants the Podium on the Tablet market... they come with good stuff of the market now... if they adjust the price just like Google did with the Nexus... they could get good points with this tablet.

[Sony Tablet S] Zer0K3wL:
I find this tablet offensive and a insult to tablet s and xperia tablet s users.

The old generation being screwed over what makes people think new generation will be any better let sony fix the xperia and tablet s first and keep updating their old tablets asswell.

I ain't buying new tablet from sony anymore if they can't fix current issues with jellybean this week.
[Sony Tablet S] SWFlyerUK:
I've spoken to various reps who've all said the likelyhood of this arriving in the UK, or outside Japan for that matter is very slim.
[Sony Tablet S] ascariss:
MWC is in 2 weeks, so perhaps any announcements will be made there or maybe Sony realizes that Android on tablets is just not the way to go yet and will wait until key lime pie before launching any new tablets?

Hi. I have looked all around in Northern Europe for a case/keyboard like this one without finding any.

Could you please tell me the modell and who's making it.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bandoncontortion:
(Just expaining how i got to the screen...in a lot of detail) Okay so yesterday i unlocked my bootloader through sonys website and everything was fine. Then i decided to try to put CM9 on it from a tutorial i found, didnt work. I then flashed back to verizons 2.3.3 through flashtool and everything was fine...but then i decided i wanted to go back to ZeuscNXTLite rom, i was lazy and used the recoveryPLAY.img to go to CWM. I forgot to clear the cache, data, etc. and i thought it was in a hard-brick because i could hold the power button all it would do is vibrate and i could still put it into flash boot(or whatever the green light means) but the screen always stayed black. I left it on my charger all night hoping it would magically come back i guess...today i got home to find the green light on it flashing faintly and quickly. I decided maybe its working now if i flash the .ftf so i did. Nothing happened so i thought maybe it was the bootloader so i tried using a bootloader relocker .ftf file but that just made my computer inable to recognize my phone. It would flash red a few times now when i plugged it into flashboot then go to flash mode and i could use flashtool. I tried adding the 2.3.3 .ftf back to my phone but it failed halfway through. So about 4 mins after doing this i look at my phone and see the Sony Ericsson screen but after that screen i see a triangle with an exclamation point inside of it and a phone under it. It keeps booting to this screen then shutting off over and over again. Now my question...does anyone know how to fix this? I dont really think its still in a brick since it goes to this weird screen.

Sorry for the extensive explanation. Also sorry if this was a repeat i tried searching but honestly have no clue what to search or even call this.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tallman43:
If you can still use flashtool follow this great guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2054512 so you can fastboot a kernal and get into cwm then you can flash a new rom after wiping everything. :fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
The yellow triangle means you're in download mode, but I don't know what to do since I never had it on the Play.

Flashing the ftf will fail sometimes, you can keep re trying, its finicky so you have to make sure to use a good cable, preferably on a USB port that is not 3.0, and have few other USB devices connected at the sametime as possible.

The reason why CM9 didn't work because sometimes the kernel included does not boot. The boot.img from the FXP152's CM9 rom is one of the working one, you can separately flash it using fastboot.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bandoncontortion:
I flashed a bootloader lock ftf file so wouldnt installing a kernel brick my phone again? Also could flashing the stock ftf file again while my phone is in download mode brick my phone? I'm just being extra careful now...dont want a hard bricked phone.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tallman43:
Did flashing the bootloader lock ftf file work? you need to find out if your bootloader is locked or unlocked.If you have phone off, and hold on to search and you plug in USB to computer and get blue light your bootloader is unlocked (flashboot mode)If its unlocked just flash a kernel wipe and install a custom rom:)

If it is locked and you can use flashtool you can flash a stock ftf. Kernal is included in stock rom which you can find on forum
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bandoncontortion:
Ok i just put the stock ftf on it through flashtool. I tried to turn it on and it shows the Sony Ericsson screen and then the Android screen the turns off. Any help? It's at least showing the charging screen right now...

Also bootloader is locked. Just checked with the fastboot.exe
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tallman43:
That good :good: Not bricked did you wipe data & cache in flashtool when you flashed ftf?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bandoncontortion:
Yes i wiped cache, app log, and data. Im also using an older version of flashtool...maybe upgrading will help? Gonna check
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NuShrike:
I've searched, but haven't found anything on Google, nor XDA, so asking in a thread.

Has anybody gotten webp images to work with the layout tool in Eclipse? It seems insane that this Google image format is not supported in the "official" Android IDE.

To clarify, I can make apk builds with webp images, but I can't see/layout with them in Eclipse.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flashdot:
I know this is my second but I thought it would be nice to see some variety.

This OS looks a lot like MIUI but has some different looking features and abilities. I think it would be worth looking into.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6oLUmc2iOQ&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Here is a downloadable simulator, if you know how to install it, to get an idea of the look and feel. Or you can simply install it in your version of Firefox web browser under "add-ons".

http://people.mozilla.org/~myk/r2d2b2g/

This is Mozilla's webpage talking about their idea on mobile OS. I think the articles actually kind of weak.

Mozilla reveals Firefox OS Developer Preview Phone

By Jamie Rigg posted Jan 22nd, 2013 at 6:33 AM

Mozilla said it won't be launching its own hardware to run the in-development Firefox OS when it's finished, but the company has just announced a "Developer Preview Phone" for putting the OS through its paces. It's not quite the same as the mystery device we saw sporting Firefox OS at CES, but its specs seem almost as basic. The handset will feature a 3.5-inch HVGA touchscreen and 3-megapixel camera on the outside, with a 1GHz Snapdragon S1 CPU, half a gig of RAM, 4GB of microSD-expandable storage and WiFi, 2G and 3G antennae inside. Sure, that processor isn't a beast, but an 800MHz S1 does just fine in the Lumia 610. A 1580mAh battery will keep the carrier-unlocked phone running, and Mozilla is promising OTA updates to Firefox OS to keep devs, well, up to date. At the moment, we have no idea how much the phone will cost, but the first units are expected to be available next month.

The developer handset is called the Keon, according to creator Geekphone's website, and while not mentioned in the Mozilla Hacks blog post, it appears to have a more powerful cousin called the Peak. It's got a 4.3-inch qHD screen, 8-megapixel back-facing camera (with flash) and 2-megapixel shooter round the front. A 1.2GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 CPU and larger 1800mAh battery are within, but storage, RAM and connectivity specs are the same as the smaller Keon. Mozilla may not be formally promoting this as its own dev handset, but it was still included in the picture which accompanied the announcement (see above: the Keon is in orange, the Peak in white). We're getting in contact with Mozilla to clarify, and will update you when we hear back.

Well, it's not four years old; the Eris was released in November 2009, so it's at most three years and a couple of months.

I have search here but haven't found answer to my problem.

I'm using a custom ROM (AOKP) and I'm able to anable the Tethering Hotspot setting but couldn't find the S3 from any other device.

It's like if the S#, even with the hotspot enable, is not discoverable.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zammo76:
In the last few days my phone has continuously been switching itself off or freezing and the only way to get it to work again is pulling the battery or resetting it. The phone is stock, running Android 4.1.2 with firmware I9300XXELLA.

I did notice the phone had switched itself off a few times before now, but now it has got to the point where its happening all the time. I've also noticed that when the phone is booting back up after the lock screen appears the message "Currently unable to download please try again later" is coming up (which I think is more than likely the problem, but when I do attempt to update the phone it says its up to date).

So far I've tried running without an SD card, clearing Touchwiz homes data and switching off auto updates but these have made no difference. If anyone can offer any help it'd be really appreciated as the last thing I want to do is exchange the phone as it can be a pain in the butt.

Out of curiosity is there actually a manual way to check for updates through Kies, as I can't for the life of me see how too?

If there is an update, kies would show you the next firmware details below your current one I think.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zammo76:
I had to do a factory reset in the end and that fixed the problem. Still a bit annoying though as it took me a day to get everything back to how it was and like an idiot I forgot to backup my SMS messages and call history even though I had an app installed that could do it (SMS backup+).

I wanted to test before posting but I ended up installing 4.1.1 then updating to 4.1.2 without wiping. Very strange.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zammo76:
As an update to this thread the problem came back even after I did a factory reset. I didn't get the unable to download error message but I did keep getting the odd freeze. However after a day of doing it the problem weirdly stopped happening and now 'touch wood' is fine again.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shorty_blitz:
I also wiped cache and reset my phone running stock 4.1.2 on O2. The freezing problem seems to have gone, it's been a couple of days now and no issues. I should say that the only thing I haven't put on yet is Flash, I have a feeling it might be problematic?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zammo76:
Ironically I think the reason my phone was freezing the odd time after I factory reset it was because I didn't have flash installed. After I sideloaded it the phone hasn't had any more issues (this could be a coincidence though).

Ive just ran the eMMC checker that nhariamine linked to and it says that my chip is susceptible to sudden death (VTU00M, revision 0xf1) and is an insane chip.

Does Samsung's most recent firmware address this, an if not can I get them to replace my phone even if it doesn't die?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shorty_blitz:
The second day after I did a factory reset my phone froze once too and it hasn't since then(about a week) I'm still afraid of installing flash. I use Dolphin browser and I can set the user agent to iPad which loads HTML5 versions of videos etc, obviously this only works on sites that have this possibility. I guess I'm trying to wean myself of flash for now.

I have had this same issue for the past week and have just downloaded the eMMC checker and it seems I too have the phone that is susceptible to SDS.

I have noticed though that the phone only freezes when wifi is switched on though. I dont have any problems with wifi off. I downloaded lagfix from the playstore and ran that and it reduced the freezes from about 20 in a day to 3. I didnt realise wifi was the issue for me at that time though so it could be coincidental.

Updating Roms etc has not worked at all for me. If it keeps up for a few weeks i think i will need to change phones as its way too frustrating for a top tier phone to do this.
