RA_10, 28 Aug 2013Is jellybean upadate available everywhere?Just download pc companion to pc, then connect your phone via usb and pc companion will tell you if update is available! Also try checking - settings/about phone/system update on your xperia! Updates can vary depending on region and carrier network! Latest update build number ends in .41 but mine only has .40 build available! .40 and .41 have walkman bug fix, anything before these will have walkman bug!

I suppose the reason im not more angry with them is because im on a better deal than pay as you go and it costs about the same! Early hours in morning I get 5-6mbs download but on evening its just 50 - 250 kbs! Fyi I got 15mbs download on the dchspa in hull!

I was actually with 3 and just recently ended a 24 month contract with them(it finished). I guess i was lucky as it worked really well where i live. It was noticably faster than other networks i tried, and that was before they even started advertising as ultrafast.

UK user, 27 Aug 2013Yeah 3 are good, i plan to get the 12.90 sim when this contract ends. Make sure you ask your friends what the signal and data speed is like! 3 lied to me about dchspa being available in my area. I know the phone can pick that signal up because I went to hull and tested it! Ironically the dchspa works on the same street as the 3shop but nowhere else in the area! Be cautious as 3 will say anything to get you on contract!

It's £15 a month excluding a few pence vat! I was on pay as you go but I got £10 off the one plan so now I get unlimited data, 2000minutes, 5000 3-3 minutes and 5000 texts! Only problem is that 3 are poor at peak times and I can't get the ultrafast internet that 3 say is available in my area! But for the price it's worked out cheaper buying the phone and getting SIM only contract!

We can get it on buymobiles .net for 15pcm on T mobile upgrade, same price non upgrade. Once bought we can then upgrade in theory (i just did about 4months agoon my then new phone) to t mobiles £16.50pcm contract that includes "unlimited browsing"...and infact i manage to get downloading also, although it might stop and start when downloading over their 750mgb limit for downloads. I have to switch the network back to t (EE) mobile when it goes automatically to orange (they use both on T mobile /EE) so to be able to still stream.....often it just works anyway....the same as my girlfriends. They just swap you over to orange network or allow you to download only at off peak or just dont cqp it at times for my girlfriends t mobile contract. Odd but still its unlimited browsing at 16.50pcm. And it includes tethering wwhich is not included nowadays on most contracts for that price.

I dont mind as my xmp has some sort of plastic glued on....under the plastic protector it came with new. I have covers for all of my phones to cut down on scratches.

It showed on the video how easy it is to clean an s3 screen compared to xperia T! Also think before you remove as if you drop your phone, this laminate holds the glass together!

There are guides on you tube. Firstly the glue left will need a substance to remove it.....as seen on YT. And if one was going to use the glass without putting another piece of plastic on top. Then the glass will be a fingerprint magnet as it was not treated by Sony with the necessary chemicals oils etc to stop fingerprints. Some of the user on YT recommend removing thr plastic and using the glass.....but buy an oil so the glass screen is usable without all the fingerprints etc.

BINGO!! all the scratches gone.. get the new one installed again

That said, you lose facebook and gmail profile access with mod! Still it meant I got to try that mad looking mercedez in S class without having to go through whole game! For anyone who wants to try the mod - go to ANDROPALACE! My xperia T takes ages to charge sometimes but always use supplied original charger and dont use extended or different usb cables as this nearly doubles the charging time - I made that mistake using an extention as the supplied usb cable is quite short!

Graphics is awesome and it runs pretty smooth. Build quality seems good and didnt face any problem as such till now.This phone is awesome but battery performance is really poor. Even it takes long time(about 3hrs) to fully charge.

Aion, 23 Aug 2013Which would be better in case of BATTERY Backup- Xperia T or Xperia L???? Plz Suggest; Xperia L last for almost 2 days.

Aion, 23 Aug 2013Which would be better in case of BATTERY Backup- Xperia T or Xperia L???? Plz Suggest; According to Sony, based on GSM Association Battery Life Measurement Technique which were performed in controlled laboratory conditions, Xperia L shows better battery life. Actual performance may vary depending on network conditions and phone usage, but considering the Xperia L has lower screen resolution, lower cpu clock speed and slower gpu – and probably the newer SoC has better power management, in real life it will also perform better than Xperia T.
