Yes thats right, the cases are genuine & come from phones returned by customers under the 14 day returns policy that some retailers have. The Grade A refers to the quality / condition. As I said the one I got was mint.
[XPERIA X1 General] acho:
I found this on cnn.cn for 79.99USD, any feedback for the site anyone? Should i get the used one or the new one? Is the new one worth it? thank you
[XPERIA X1 General] bronx:
just got mine, as op stated - almost perfect condition. I'll swap it as soon as my little curious son will go for his nap. ;)

in the package I've got full unbranded black housing, including keyboard.

[EDIT]

all done and I am sooo damn impressed. the black one looks better imho. the only problem I had, was that those two covers for screws next to camera were not included, so I had to paint my old ones black. after that I've used some clear nail top coat polish from my wife's drawer and it looks brand spanking new. ;)

thanks again for the heads up crank1.
[XPERIA X1 General] Crank1:
No Problem bronx. Great to hear that all went well.
[XPERIA X1 General] commodoor:
I maked my xperia also black. it is like you said it looks better :P and the same color problem with the two covers. but i have a hard case so this new Black wouldnt be damaged or get scratches.
[XPERIA X1 General] mcbungie:
Just changed mine from silver to black. looks the nutts , wasnt to tricky if u take ur time

instructions

Btw if anybody needs them there are Sony Ericsson's full disassembly and reassembly instructions at http://rapidshare.com/files/155696508/Guide_Working_Instructions_Mechanical_X1i.pdf.html . I found them much more useful than the video.

Still not for the fainthearted though. Bits have to be unstuck and restuck (some form of EM resistant tape) and the instructions leave you still with small bits of plastic stuck to the covers at the end. And now my earpiece buzzes most alarmingly. But I do have a fully chromed X1!
[XPERIA X1 General] kingqueen:
Also, attached is Sony Ericsson's software for testing all the features of X1, so that you can check everything works properly after you reassemble.
[XPERIA X1 General] sopdogg:
For those who replaced their X1 housing - How long did it take for the whole process?

Thanks!
[XPERIA X1 General] bronx:
well... I think if You are focused then You should be able to complete the whole operation under 30 minutes. it is not for the faint hearted though, because some actions need to be precise. on the other hand it is not a neuro surgery, and it is doable. :cool:
[XPERIA X1 General] kingqueen:
About half an hour, first time
[XPERIA X1 General] commodoor:
I would say 30 minutes it was faster then I expected.
[XPERIA X1 General] thelucius:
That's good news. Maybe soon I'll open my X1 to cleanup the keyboard.
[XPERIA X1 General] kissiman:
help

i bought a housing cover which came with the star shaped screwdriver. However, the very first screw you need to take out does not used the star shaped screwdriver. It is too small for any screwdrivers at home and i have searched for a week at my local high street to no avail.

Can anybody point me to a working screwdriver on the internet so i can do the first screw?

Thanks

Kissiman
[XPERIA X1 General] thelucius:
I need to cleanup my keyboard too. But my X1 is still in warranty. So I suppose if I open it, that will break my warranty right? Also I'm not sure how long it will take for SE if I return my X1 for the keyboard problem, and there is still only one key "a" which needs to be pressed harder than the others, so it's not a totally broken keyboard yet. And I used a glue for the crack near the stylus's place. I'm not sure if SE will use that to cancel my warranty? Any advice on that? Maybe it's best to take care of the keyboard by myself, but than I will probably loose my warranty.
[XPERIA X1 General] cbrandon:
How would you run this? Is says it is not a valid win32 app.

Thanks
[XPERIA X1 General] thelucius:
Maybe because it's a Windows Mobile application.
[XPERIA X1 General] cbrandon:
Doh !!! :p
[XPERIA X1 General] Crank1:
You need a crosshead jewelers screwdriver. The usualy come in sets and Ive seen them in everything from pound shops to diy stores. Failing that, ebay would be a good place to start.
[XPERIA X1 General] neonlite:
i've succesfully changes my xperia housing from silver to black!

the tape wasnt as simpel to remove as shown in the movie.

but what the heck i managed to change the housing.

black definitely looks better than silver! xD
[XPERIA X1 General] darkhalf520:
Does the housing come with this part (BT&GPS Antenna Assy) ??
[XPERIA X1 General] royalbloodvi:
how do i remove the slider screen from the keyboard bit like in the very start of the disassrmble vodeo?
[XPERIA X1 General] Crank1:
The housing I originaly bought didnt contain any hardware at all.

Seperating the two halves of the phone is actually a about half way through the process. The rear has to be disassembled first. You need to watch the 4videos in order....disassembly rear, disassembly front etc. Hope this helps
[XPERIA X1 General] darkhalf520:
thanks for the reply......the problem is that I feel like I've a bit consumed the cable of the tiny white connector(if you know which I mean), My xperia works perfectly good now, but I got very scared and i now need to open it again and am afraid to ruin it completely....

Do u know of any that sells the part with the small white connector ? do you think if the cable is cut it can be soldered ?
[XPERIA X1 General] Crank1:
I know the bit you mean and I found that it was more difficult to dissconnect it than it looked on the video - it needed far more pressure. The answer for me was to use a small long nose pliers to grip the edge of the plastic connector and with some gentle waggling and pulling it came apart.

I would guess that the cables could be mended but you would need a soldering iron with a very fine tip and a steady hand!! As far as a replacement part goes, I really have no idea. Good Luck :)
[XPERIA X1 General] taarmen:
I want to repair my Xperia, but i cant find anything about the tape. Is is necessarily to put it back? And where you i buy it?
[XPERIA X1 General] Crank1:
The tape is harder to remove than is shown in the vids. It needs to be teased off a bit at a time because it is stuck down quite well and is easily torn and also sticks to itself very well!!

Its there for a reason so would I wouldnt want to leave it off and in my case, even though I tore it in several places, I managed to put it back close enough to the original. Hope this helps...good luck :)
[XPERIA X1 General] taarmen:
Oke, so the tape is sticky enough to go back on it again.

thank you, gona order a housing on ebay.

Thanks
[XPERIA X1 General] alperyasar:
Be careful which ones you order from Ebay. You have to get the original (used) ones that the other posters have been talking about. If you get the new ones from HK etc they will NOT fit properly. I found out the hard way.

Just be aware that you will be voiding waranty by opening it up.
[XPERIA X1 General] virtual_law:
Are the ones marked OEM good? This thread tells me FASCIA is bad, but OEM housings are good, right?
[XPERIA X1 General] virtual_law:
Can someone also confirm if the part at 1:54 ALSO comes with the full housing?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWDurQrRt-Y

Its the plastic cover that houses the battery. Mine is seriously cracked.
[XPERIA X1 General] instantjose:
slight problem......

i got a bit of an issue after replacing my housing... in the beginning of the post someone posted to not forget to put the earpiece speaker in the new housing... well i did and freaked out when i had no sound at all... i put it back in and i can hear my calls now...problem is i cant hear anything from my loudspeaker on the bottom... it only works when i push a bit on the front housing by the panel button or call button. as far as i know there is nothing on the front half of the phone for the bottom speaker so what's going on?? i dont know what i could have done... sometimes all it takes is me resting my finger on that area with the panel and call buttons for it to work... also my volume buttons dont work at all anymore... SOMEONE HELP!!!!
[XPERIA X1 General] Crank1:
Hi instantjose, Im afraid I dont have a definite answer for you - my memory has faded since I did mine, however, If I was in your shoes I would take it apart again and make sure everything is pushed home and all the connections are good.....the speakers are working when you put pressure on the right place so your problem cant be too serious.

As far as the rocker buttons goes, I had problems with a couple of these falling out. They were as fiddley as hell to get back in properly. Just make sure that it is sitting nice and flush in the gap, held in place by those rubber tendrils, before you clip the housing together.

Hope this helps :)
[XPERIA X1 General] srikanth046:
Hey op, my xperia got damaged badly when i dropped it dow, so i need to get the casing changed, i clicked on the link for ebay which you posted but could not find the parts, would you be able to check or can an1 else tell me from where i can buy the original casing or a best one that i can use to replace for my phone.

Thanks all in advance.

ALSO I SEARCHED FOR Original x1 xperia Housing Cover Case Housing UK+T6 IN EBAY.CO.UK AND FOUND 2 RESULTS, CAN YOU CHECK THEM AND LET ME KNOW IF I CAN GET ANY THOSE. WILL THEY B ORIGINAL N GUD
[XPERIA X1 General] Crank1:
I think this is the same seller I bought from and I think the housings will be fine. If you are at all worried then contact the seller before you buy. Good luck:)
[XPERIA X1 General] sopdogg:
Thanks Crank1, you are the man!!! I got everything to work except for the volume rocker. I've opened it up multiple times and I made sure each time that the buttons were actually hitting the internal buttons but to no avail. It doesn't work for some reason. @instantjose, did you get your volume rockers to work? If so, what did you do to get them to work?

Thanks again!!!
[XPERIA X1 General] sopdogg:
Looks like my volume rocker is working....in landscape view only!!! When the qwerty isn't in slide out form it doesn't work. What to do, what to do? Anyone have any solutions for this?

Thanks!
[XPERIA X1 General] mudenza:
How much does it cost to replace the original housing at an authorised SE repair shop, without doing it myself?
[XPERIA X1 General] sopdogg:
That's a question you should contact SE about. I don't know if they will do that for you or not but you can always ask!
[XPERIA X1 General] shinnkun:
Hey guys! Thanks for all of this information. :) I'm looking into replacing my housing as it is scratched along with the screen. I have one question. Like I said, my screen is scratched. Is that the LCD itself or does the front cover have a screen layer? I guess more or less my question actually is, do I need to buy a housing and LCD or just the housing?
[XPERIA X1 General] enigma1nz:
It's a digitizer itself that is scratched, the housing does not provide cover, how would you use touch screen otherwise???

You can replace the digitizer only, but if not skilled - replace the lot - LCD + Digitizer combo in one piece, they are cheap on eBay and I used them in repairs with no problems. Can buy OEM if not sure.
[XPERIA X1 General] whoseline:
It will probably cost quite a bit I would imagine. Why not buy the the relevant materials yourself and have a go. It's pretty easy if you follow the relevant guides on here.
[XPERIA X1 General] zulfadrim:
Lost Signal

I've found a problem when i replace my X1 housing. after I finished and try to turn on the phone, i didn't get any signal at all...

what wrong with that...

any idea guys...

thanks anyway..

sorry my english is poor.
[XPERIA X1 General] whoseline:
Maybe you forgot to plug one of the cables in? or the antenna block is not secured properly against the pins? Can be a number of things.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] Vormulac:
Hi folks,

First post here, I've had my G2 (Hero) for nearly a week and think it's amazing, but I have encountered a problem.

My Hotmail sends and receives just fine whether I am connected by WiFi or 3G, but my pop3 email will send and receive if I'm on WiFi but it will only

receive if I'm out and about on 3G. It's a bloody nuisance and I can't

think of any reason that would be the case.

Has anyone else found this?

Cheers!

V.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] franklinvv:
It seems like the SMTP server that you're using is not accessible using the 3G network. ISPs commonly block access to their SMTP servers from other networks. E.g., if my regular ISP is ISPA (to which I connect using WiFi) and my mobile operator is ISPB (to which I connect using 3G), I cannot access ISPA's SMTP server when I am connected through ISPB and vice versa.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] phel21:
The most likely cause of your problem is that your POP provider's SMTP-server doesn't accept message relaying from the addresses your phone is assigned when connecting over the phone network. Many providers permit unauthenticated relaying from addresses in their own network. In that case, make sure that the outgoing server (SMTP) for your POP-account is configured with authentication (username/password). Encryption (TLS or SSL) is also recommended. If that isn't enough, contact your POP-provider and ask if they at least can enable global access to authenticated relaying over SSL (port 465) or authenticated SMTP relaying in general.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Vormulac:
Ah, I wonder if this is what the girl in the T-Mobile shop was going on about when she asked if I wanted to pay another £5 a month for email? Perhaps they have, as you have suggested nerfed the email capability over 3G. That would be a proper nuisance, I've not had a network do that to me before :mad:

Seems a bit of a nerve to make you pay for unlimited internet/data and then charge extra for email!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] phel21:
That's not the issue. Any half decent server administrator makes sure that his/her servers do not relay messages on behalf of the entire planet. However, when done properly the provider will have a system that allows relaying for authenticated clients, and will provide all the information their customers need to set up their clients accordingly.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
If your POP mail provider, presumably your ISP, cannot supply authenticated SMTP access (check this first!), you have a few realistic options (I'm sure there are more!)

Buy access to an authenticated SMTP server (e.g. http://www.authsmtp.com/mobile/index.html) which will allow you to send email via SMTP regardless of how you are connected.

Use an intermediate email service like Gmail to collect your POP3 email and send replies via Gmail.

Your cellular provider will have their own SMTP gateway - you can change your email settings to use their SMTP gateway when connected via cellular data, but I guess you will have to do this manually every time you want to switch between cellular and WiFi.

Note that this isn't a fault with Hero or Android - it's your mail provider!

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Vormulac:
My ISP is Blueyonder (well, Virgin now). I just think it's strange that they should be rejecting the smtp connection as I have set up these two pop3 accounts on every mobile I've had for the last 10 years and they've worked perfectly (a Siemens, a few Sony-Ericssons and a Nokia and that's on Virgin Mobile, Orange and 3 networks). It would be a shame if I was limited to using my Hotmail for everything from now on.

I'll drop Virgin customer services a line and see if there is some way they can do this magical authentication thing of which you speak. :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] xdanoobuser:
A request to our XDA specialists:

Unfortunately the search shows no results regarding this issue...

I've got the problem that in the region I live the network is often very worse.

Does a program for my Diamond exist, which gives a short alarm, if the device runs out of network??

At the moment it's very important for me to be gettable by mobile anytime. ;)

Hi all. I have started receiving the following errors winmo side. This is with i00 Rom.

1. Cannot execute repllog.exe

2. Cannot execute clocknot.exe

3. Cannot execute Calnot.exe

Whenever I get any of the above errors winmo side becomes unresponsive totally and even the internet connection vista side gets dropped. I never used to have this kind of problem until the other day when I synced several items including contacts list between winmo and vista.

Just wondering ...... could it be a virus or is it a memory issue????? :mad:

Thanks in advance.

[Shift Development] oplab:
I found this phenomenon after some changes on my Samsung-SGH i900 Omnia a few days ago. As today I've done the same changes on a second Omnia there was the same effect. On both PDA's I shifted the SPB Mobile Shell 3 with SKTools from the main memory to the built in 8 GB storage. After undoing the changes both Omnia's are working perfectly without any error message. After redoing the changes on one of the both PDA's the error messages appeared again.

Maybe you've done some similar change to your PDA? I hope this helps to find the bug.
[Shift Development] thaihugo:
Change rom. This one seems not to have enough free ram for your need. Use age of reason rom to get the maximum available memory on winmo side.
[Shift Development] Flanimal:
An and independant third party I wholeheartedly recommend Thaihugos age of reason rom.
[Shift Development] lucid:
Well there's also the I00 RAM-ROM if I am not misstaken... that one should have even more RAM free.

Dammit... HTC...release a Shift II please.

P,S, I can't find that posting about a possible re-release of the Shift by MSI or NVIDIA or so, was a strange article..
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] tytn64:
Few days back i had a problem of touchscreen not responding on my tytn2 and with help of this forum i managed (after few hard resets) it worked....now again it stopped responding....i suspect this could be a hardware issue (loose or broken flat cable connection,..) Before i go ahead and buy a new touchscreen i want to confirm from the gurus on this forum ..is there anyway to confirm that the touchscreen issue is hardware and not software...or viceversa.

cheers.

Edited : The problem ws traced to a connection cable betwen the LCD and the board. It was replaced and now th phone is working fine.

don't forget to put the device in bootloader mode, before you connect, then you should be fine, since apparently you already know your way around flashing.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Jadefalke:
Hallo Chef Tony,

i get the same error!

If you kann my describe in detail the Ruu.conf?

I have see that you make on more entry in the Ruu.conf

I have a MDA 3 with German Spell.

----------------------------------------

Hallo Chef Tony,

ich habe den selben Fehler!

Kannst du mir die Ruu.conf erklären?

Ich hatte gesehen das du einen Eintrag mehr in der Ruu.conf hast.

Ich habe einen MDA 3 mit Deutscher Sprache. (T-Mobil selbst geht nicht mehr)

Ich möchte mein etwas holbriges Englisch entschuldigen ;)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Chef_Tony:
i have to admit, i don't know about the values in that conf file, i just took it as it was, the values in my conf are:

[PLATFORM]=667685
[RADIO_TYPE]=1
[SECURITY_FLAG]=1
[DECODER_KEY]=1
[RADIO_FLAG]=1
[CHECKCEID_TYPE]=1

i have never had another ruu, so i don't know the differences exactly. what are the differences to other RUUs?

_________________________________________________________________

ich muss zugeben, ich habe keine ahnung, was genau diese werte der ruu machen, aber hier ist mal der inhalt meiner ruu.conf:

[PLATFORM]=667685
[RADIO_TYPE]=1
[SECURITY_FLAG]=1
[DECODER_KEY]=1
[RADIO_FLAG]=1
[CHECKCEID_TYPE]=1

ich habe noch nie eine andere ruu ausprobiert oder mir angesehen, daher kann ich auch nicht sagen, was sich dort unterscheidet, das einzige, was fuer mich zaehlte ist, dass diese (ich glaube sie kam damals mit helmi's wm6 rom) bei mir funktionierte und es bis heute tut, viele leute haben mir bestaetigt, dass diese ruu wohl als eher "stur" anzusehen ist, also ohne ruecksicht auf verluste einfach flasht, weswegen sie so gut funktioniert. ob das an dieser conf liegt oder ob sich die exe auch unterscheidet kann ich also nicht sagen. ich denke, es sollte jeder einfach ausprobieren, welche ruu fuer ihn funktioniert und diese dann behalten fuer alles weitere.

ich weiss, das war nicht gerade hilfreich, aber ich nehme schwer an, wenn man die conf werte googlet, sollte sich auch schon etwas ergeben, wenn ich heute noch zeit finde, werde ich das mal machen und dann noch einmal posten.
