I'm still in my 30 days. I've been debating on taking it back and waiting for the T. Then again, you can't really beat a "free" phone.

Probably won't be free though lol

The MSM8260A is the S4 without LTE just so you know. Same chip gonna be used in the Xperia TX and non-LTE Xperia T. It is actually better than the S3 in the ion just no LTE.

I really hope it ends up on AT&T.
I have loved my Samsung Captivate but, I've been reading that the S3 has had some hitches in terms of custom rom support.
I still haven't found a particularly good review for the Xperia T though..
Engadget said it wasn't "new enough" in the title of their article but, besides "feeling bulky in hand" they couldn't find a single thing wrong with it...

I Hate the way At&T Slapped Their Logo ... on the Bottom , it looks fugly

I heard about the rumors about AT&T USA releasing this phone, and also T-Mobile USA.
I'm currently with T-Mobile USA. Now even if the rumors is true, I don't really planning on buy it branded. not a fan. especially of the logo on the phone. However if I did buy it unlocked, will I be able to add carrier-specific features/service/apps? mainly Wi-fi calling.
I may switch to AT&T and if I can do the same that that would be great.
I just wonder if it's possible. have XDA done something like that, extracting those apps to add to unlocked phones?

With the Sony phones its been possible to flash the generic International firmware on the AT&T devices and visaversa so you can choose which firmware you want. Should be the same with the Xperia T

So will the white version ever be offerred from AT&T and will there be an option for the plastic back?

Not sure if the white will be offered. I will have to check on that.

Hmm... If "coming weeks" is indeed "first week in November" - darn, that's a bit disappointing. Was hoping to try and get a CM bringup started before the Big Android BBQ.
You seem to have inside information from AT&T - Are they going to play the same bootloader unlock-blocking shenanigans they did with the HOX, or will this device have an unlockable bootloader just like the international T?

After having your Z1 for a while now, would you still recommend it?

Would you still recommend a Z1 now to new buyers?
Is there anything you wish you would have known before you bought your Z1?
How would you suggest a new Z1 owner check their brand-new phone for issues? What are the things to focus on and how would you test them?

Yes. I recommend it and, in fat, someone in my office just went to get a black one (mine is white, first ever for me)
I would say the stock camera issues I auto mode but it is not a deal breaker.

Absolutely, I've gotten around 5 people to get a Z1 instead of Note III.
I knew pretty much everything because I read XDA a lot. I knew about the yellow tint but I don't consider it a problem. I'm not gonna switch it out 5-6 times because I've had Samsung before and their phones have the half side of the display yellow. So I'm very happy with this. I didn't tell people about the "problem" because I don't wanna put that kind of stress on someone. If they don't notice it, it wont hurt them.
All in all I love my Z1.

Definitely go for the z1 mate it's an awesome

I own a Z1 for about a month now and I absolutely love it. Coming from an iPhone4 which was fine and considering a 5s. I have no regrets at all. I would buy one if I was you. The viewing angle and the screen are perfect for me and the speed the phone has ( still om stock) is amazing. Come join the club.

[Q] T-Mobile-Sony XperiaZ1s

I have q quick question? I ordered the T-Mobile Sony Xperia Z1s and had it shipped express mail so I should have the phone tomorrow. However, I wanted to know if it was safe to use the Xperia Z1 method to root the phone, and use the same Roms on the Xperia Z1s?

I am also curious of this. I have put in a request for a forum specific to this device and regional carrier. I don't know if that usually works or how long it takes but I am looking to contribute in any way possible.

Rooting shouldn't really be unsafe or anything, but at the moment I don't think it'll work, as the Z1S is on 4.3 after all, and I don't think that Vroot will work with it now. As for roms, I would advise against flashing anything at the moment.

Once theres an initial root you should be able to back up your TA partition and subsequently unlock bootloader to root any future firmwares, relocking bootloader after rooting.

Unfortunately we will likely face a bootloader that cannot be unlocked.
However, if it can I am very curious as to how you go about this.
I absolutely hate taking updates... still haven't taken an update from months ago on my Nexus 7 because I will lose root. It was very difficult to unlock and root my nexus 7, considerably more than rooting my old carrier tied motorola handset, which I didn't expect at all considering I'd used all the same tools to flash and root before.

The nexus 7 is one of the easiest devices to root. It may have been difficult when the device was first released, but I promise it's gotten much easier.

I think it may have been more that my desktop wasn't properly recognizing the device. Had to jump through all sorts of hoops to get it to work last February. But it's unlocked and rooted now... with an outdated OS. I currently don't have internet service at home. I'll tackle the update and re-root when I've got a nice fast connection.
Would taking the update affect ever re-lock the bootloader?

I don't think so, the bootloader on my N7 has never locked itself unless I used wugfresh's toolkit to do so.

It isn't, the Z1S has a plastic frame instead of aluminium, it's larger, and has different LTE frequencies to the C6903 (International LTE Z1).

I am aware it has the same screen, I was referring to the Z1S being taller than the C6903, regardless of screen size.
And what would a metal frame have to do with bending? Obviously if you apply so much force that you bend the device, then you're already damaging it, whether it has a metal or a plastic frame...

It seems to me like cheap aluminum was the cause of bending. I've never had any bending/cracking issues on any of my plastic phones I owned.

The heat could cause bending. Anyway, since you are an owner of Z1, how would you rate your device at this point? Thinking about getting Z1S for my wife.

Best smartphone I have ever had, literally. Though if I'd been on the market right now I'd have had the Z1 Compact.
Only thing bad with it would be the screen quality (no issues head on, but tilt it and colours start to wash out) and maybe the loudspeaker being a bit tinny/quiet (product of the waterproofing would be my guess).

Bootloader unlock allowed : no - Is there any hope?

Hi guys, I know this has been thousands of times, but if our device doesn't allow boot loader unlock (for example mine is on EE) is there any hope what so ever of a way around this? I'm pretty sure someone is going to say something along the lines of "IT'S IMPOSSIBLE STOP ASKING IT CAN'T BE DONE" - if that's the case, would you care to explain why?
Thanks

Well the answer is not at the moment don't know if anyone is working on it... and from what I saw so far in order to hack it you need to use the test point method but in order to do so you need to open your phone...now are u going to take that risk because I won't haha

I agree. I even rang EE and asked them. They and no clue what I meant. Sad really.

I wonder if you got a letter from EE stating that they allow you to unlock your bootloader and then ask Sony to make your bootloader unlockable will that work lol....I know it will take time and maybe u will waste your time but if you really want to unlock your bootloader is worth a shot haha
Sent from my C6903 using Tapatalk

At least here in Spain, you can unlock your bootloader if you first pay for the simcode unlock to use the phone with any carrier. Then you can email Sony with this information, asking them to leave your phone in the same condition (bootloader unlockable) as any "unlocked sim" phone (I don't know the correct word, sorry)
Then Sony will take your phone as if it was going to be repaired and after a few days you'll get your phone back.
I know this is possible in Spain but I don't know about other countries; maybe it depends on each law system.

Hmmm. Even so. I think i'll be getting on the new HTC One band wagon when it comes around. I want to like the Z1, but the software is, at least in my opinion, nothing less that horrible. Also the glass front and rear is a disaster if you're a mechanic.

If you are mechanic then the HTC One will be scratched forever with the plastic one. I think on Glass you can use some degreasing.
