After being very happy with my Xperia S and Xperia Ion, I was eagerly waiting to get my hands on the TX, so was very happy when it arrived this morning!
It's a beautiful phone - photographs don't really do it justice, and it has a nicer feel in the hands than either the GSIII or the One X. Came with 2 NFC tags, a decent pair of earphones, and the usual factory-installed screen protector.
The screen is beautiful, without the super over-saturated colours that are on the SIII. Camera is also excellent, but have only taken a couple of shots on it so far.
Can't really comment on the battery life yet, although it does drain quickly at the moment - possibly because I haven't yet given it a full charge.
Only problem so far is that Gapps aren't installed on it - unsure as how to work around this so will have to research!
Have attached a couple of pics so you can see for yourselves.
:highfive:
So jealous. This one is without LTE right?
I would miss LTE
I'm not sure to be honest, but it doesn't really matter anyway as LTE isn't available over here anyway.
Forgot to mention - the TX also comes preinstalled with all the Bond wallpapers, themes and ringtones as the T does, so both models have them!
All I remember is difference from TX and T was the LTE lol

Yeah.... I don't see devs developing much if anything at all for our ion's now that the TX is out
Sent from my Xperia GX
wow... the phone is so beautiful, elegant, and powerful of course
congrat to you..
Oh fantastic! I too long to wait for this phone so I ask you to tell me where I can buy it and what price via pay as you go? Thanks!
Er...I'd love to help but I wouldn't have the first clue on how to make a video review, and I'm sure listening to me drone on about the phone would impact Sony's sales so greatly they'd be forced to shutter in a month!
I bought it in China, and paid RMB 3050 - which is about 300 GBP. Unlocked handset.
Been playing with it all day, it has the fastest Internet Browser of any phone I have used yet, and is super, super smooth - I can't wait to see what it will be like when Jelly Bean comes out!
:fingers-crossed:
I thought it was a need to bring from China. Now, I saw more Chinese online shops but I don't understand their language so makes it hard to buy it. The best solution would be to ebay in English but do not have that. Maybe you can help for me?

Just a quick update - the Ion Bootloader unlock method works perfectly. All I need to figure out now is how to root it....

It's not a carrier branded phone so he probably means the official Sony method works.

Can you confirm that the gpu is an adreno 225?
Hello friends,
I own a Xperia Arc S and would like to upgrade. But not shure whether to get Xperia T or TX
Xperia T have good ROM support over here whereas TX doesnt.
According to me TX looks better though.
I know the actualy difference between them but would like to know lil more from users.
So i need your help guys in deciding as it is a big investment and dont want to regret later in future.
I went through many threads but couldnt find my answers.
Any help is appreciated
Thank You
I got the T, and never once missed the removable battery, off not I really like non removable battery, it is a little bit bigger, and hard reboot is done with button combo.
Sent from my Xperia LT30p using XDA Premium app.
Did I help? Then please press the thanks button
The real big selling point of T is it's LTE capability but provided your carrier also supports it. Otherwise just get the TX, it slightly looks better plus battery is removable.
Btw, the TX has the CyanogenMod support now also like the T.
Tapatalked from my TX
yea i was wondering about the hard reboot too..normal we just remove the battery to restart. But always wondered what non-removable battery mobile ppl do..
I have one more doubt. Cant we flash T ROM on TX just like we do in Arc forum. Arc S ROMs can be flashed on Arc with lil patch.
For ICS ROMS that is indeed possible, the patch isn't there (yet) for JB

So TX users haven't enjoyed the taste of sony JB yet?
There is a thread very similar to this already.
If I recall correctly, the only differences were the T has better rom support, LTE capability, and a bigger battery, while the TX has a removable (but less capacity) one.
yes i went through many threads but couldnt find my answer correctly.
Hope TX ROM support really picks up. Bad thing is that launch of xperia Z is around the corner and many ppl will go for that instead of xperia T or TX and this is surely hit TX development.

Battery wise I would say T, since it has a bigger battery.
Design, in my opinion, T
Screen wise, tx does seem a little clearer, but only if you have touch firmware B
Rom support, definitely T
Overall: T

Its really sad how Sony are slow to launch a product in India even when they know India is one of the biggest and important market.

Hey I don't know if anyone else has this same problem so I thought I'd ask. I have a Xperia T on stock firmware JB and I had no problems playing GTA vice city from the app store until I upgraded from ics to jb. Now everytime I get into a car in the game the screen freezes but the audio still play and I can drive etc. until I get out of the car then the game plays fine again? Has anybody else come across this problem since the JB update? I have emailed rockstar games and apparently its a problem with "some phones containing Mali based gpu" I emailed rockstar back to say that everything was fine on ics firmware and they are adamant that it is a hardware issue. Any information on this people is this just a stock firmware problem?
Sent from my LT30p using xda premium
Hi man, I've got the same problem. I emailed Rockstar games yesterday but didn't get a reply. I hope they solve the issue, I really do as I want to play this game so bad.
Yeah it seems like an ongoing issue I would be tempted to put custom firmware on if this would solve the problem? I hope someone here has a solution because rockstar games seem hopless at putting out fixes for these issues!! Lol

Emailed them and the only think they say is to reset/reboot/redownload/re-another sh*t. So totally no professional service.
This is the email I recieved from them haha
"Hello,
It seems like you did not receive my last message. It seems like the specific model of the Xperia T that you have has a non-mali based GPU. In other phones, such as the Xperia S and Galaxy SII, this GPU caused the exact same issue that you are having. We are investigating this and if you would like to keep informed of the situation, please subscribe to this page:

Hi, that's sick man it actually does work I had exact same problem switched resolution to 100 and no problem I can get in the car and drive where the **** I want. Thanks man I was about to uninstall it after paying 4 quid
That's crazy, you helped me too. The game froze when I hopped into a car until I got out of it again.. but now I set resolution to 100 and i can play thank you
Works fine for me on high settings, you have to use 1.0 tho,
Sorry for opening a new thread but I'm curious why I didn't get any update from sony.
The first update for all sim unlocked was the .350 then the new .434
I didn't get both of them.
I asked this in the thread new C6603 update and no one answered
Can someone explain me why is this happening and will I get any update in the future?

Not really. If you're someone who's affected by a number of bugs, you can't really enjoy the phone so would like to have the update as soon as really.

Mainly constant crackles/distortion on highs (cymbals, etc.), running through both a DS220 and a Sony BT stereo. I've experienced it on a lot of other phones/devices over the years but never on something made by Sony I've looked through some threads on generic issues with 4.3 BT audio but I just wanted to see if others were having the same issue with this specific firmware first. Do you know which update you're on?

I'm using a Sony SHB20 headset and i'm on 4.3 update 14.2.A.0.290 and I have the same problem. The sound is terrible... It's like a crackling sound... Can't say if it's because of this update, becuase I didn't try my bluetooth headset until this update, but the problem is definetly there.
Yeah, mine definitely sounded great before the 4.3 update - with my limited knowledge I've tried replacing the a2dp and bluetooth .so files from other .290 firmware and even the 4.4 z ultra firmware with no luck. Not even sure if it should work anyhow.
Did you unlock your bootloader or root?
There is another thread for this on Sony's site that hasn't been active since last week also but may be good to keep an eye on (can't post links since I'm a n00b)
Yes here I have same Problem before the 4.3 update the sound was fine. Now its Bad as hell hopefully somebody can fix it because I listen a Lot of music over Bluetooth headset. Im on a generic Europe 4.3 Firmware rooted and unlocked Bootloader. Sry for my bad english coming from Germany

Possible temp fix?
There's an app on the play store called "xperia z1 bluetooth media fix" that you might try. I haven't listened enough to tell if it works very well but from the test I did earlier it seems to sound a little better, but to me it's still not quite as good as I remember on 4.2.2.
Let me know how it works for you.
I've tried this app too but I Don't here any Differenz But I search on Google and found out that the Google nexus Devices had the same Problem with 4.3 Firmwares... There was a fix for it but it wont Work for us. Bluetooth fc's After I try to replace the 2 files(audio.a2dp.default and Bluetooth.default) in system/lib/hw. So maybe a dev could take a look @ these 2 files and edit them for better quality because I cant open them and I dont want to break my Bluetooth

Bluetooth A2DP quality on 14.2.A.0.290
Acknowledged. I have exactly the same problem. I use two headsets : MW600 and Smart Wireless Headset Pro and both have this problem. I can say that the problem was due after upgrading to firmware 14.2.A.0.290. On firmware 14.1.G.2.257 everything works perfectly. Yesterday I installed several times 14.2.A.0.290 and 14.1.G.2.257 and accurately shows that 14.1.G.2.257 everything is OK, but on 14.2.A.0.290 like 64kbps .
As mentioned above, a topic about the Nexus 7, a similar problem. There it is treated by replacing 2x files. It would be great if someone knowledgeable would look at it all. Because wait for a fix from Sony can be very long ...
I found the topic at Sony, who cares - and vote for the issue. Maybe then Sony will release an update. Bluetooth A2DP quality on 14.2.A.0.290

Hi, I am facing the same problem.
I have a SBH 50 headphne, and the audio quality is worse than with my Xperia S. Plus I get constant reconnection, it get disconnected and it connects a minute after. I think this may be related to the throw feature.
