I just bought some Samsung TecTiles and thought they would work on the Xperia Z
It appears that it can't read or write to them.
Has anyone had any luck getting these to work?
For anyone interested, I got these to work.
NFC just appears a bit "iffy" after rooting. Had to turn NFC off and on a few times for it to work.

My original broke a few months ago and I searched online. Found a 5-pack. Sorry, I don't know where I bought them, but at least you know they are out there.
thanks
i have search and search and still but thanks
I lost one and broke one the other day. I called up support in my country (Taiwan) and they carry just hooks in the office for maybe 6 - 7 bucks USD so i would try contacting support.
I think it is a bad design cuz they are easy to lose and its getting a bit loose.
One of many suppliers I found in 5 seconds, searching for "bt8010 earhook":

I've noticed this, too. The socket for the hook is now larger than it used to be so even new hooks are a little loose.
thanks for the
thanks for the lick i think the design of the loop sucks but the ear piece is great i can hear music and do my calls and not be worried of getting wires tangled like the wired ones.the odd think some people ask me if it is 2 bluetooth??. any ways for now i dont see like changing them for something else thanks
first time it broke for me about 2 years ago, I wasnt able to find it anywhere, so I wrote request to jabra customer service and got a pair for free in the mail.
now it's available for better price than from other sellers http://www.shop.jabra.com/jabra/Shop?Dsp=30007&PCR=1:401
Hey there.
My Xperias screen is broken, the bottom half is dead but the touch is still working. The phone is fully functional except for this and that the slider is bent in the lower left corner a few millimetres. I am using my old K810i and I'm buying a new phone soon, but just leaving a functional Xperia to rot in a drawer seems a bit... uneconomical?
NOTE: I will NOT be repairing the screen. No, there is no insurance that covers a broken screen. No, I won't buy a replacement screen for 90 bucks. Don't suggest it, please.
What I am looking for are uses for this device now that I've decided not to repair it and rather get a new phone, so don't give me comments like "Why not fix it?", if you'd be kind. I want to utilize the phone as it is, maybe the keyboard can be connected to my PS3, maybe I can sell the phone, maybe I can use it as something else. All suggestions are welcome!
Thanks

Anything else than selling it will require huge effort and good tech skills.
if you're not gonna fix it, sell it; it's basically useless. Give someone else the chance to resurrect it.

I agree with this. Possible use could be as a wireless router for your notebook, either for WLAN or for HSPA...

nueUSBKeyboard?
Also there's probably software that lets you use it as a Bluetooth mouse or keyboard.

Hm.. since there are devices with a 480x480 resolution on WM6.1, I am thinking it might be possible to cook a ROM that uses 480x480 instead of 480x800 and therefore the part of the screen that's still working would be quite usable.
I don't know if this would really work or if anyone has ever even tried it, it's just an idea.
YE, lets cook a rom for one device oO
[x]sell it
maybe a tech freak will love the opportunity!

I know what you can do, start your own phone store and use that X1 as a display model.
Haha, "Askew Xperia with random cracks and scratched battery cover"
Thank you all for your tips. I'll try to sell it for 80 bucks or so, if I don't find using it for my PS3 EXTREMELY useful ^^

Hi got my son a cheap s3 mini i8190N
The camera does not work get camera failed message, (on both and flash does not work i.e using torch)
Taken apart looks slight water damage, cleaned checked all connections but still same
Tried all the tricks pulling battery, sd card, different software but still nothing when i do the secret number and check camera firmware i get null and cannot update/write.
Is this because all 3 are knackered or is it the camera controller chip faulty/needs re-soldering?
any help please thanks

ummm ok anywhere i can look? ( i have searched)
Just wondered if the null firmware meant the camera is faulty or the chip.
Not too worried about flash can get both camera's for about £10 so might be worth a punt.

Hi everyone, i'm just looking if there is a way for unlocking a s3 Mini from home. I have seen some sites like "http://samsunggeeks.us/" and I don't know if it works as it should. Is it too hard? Some stores in my city charge up to 50USD to unlock this phone but i guess is not that hard to do it by myself. What do I need? what should i Do?

this question was asked many many times before on XDA. Pls use the search bar ...
It´s not possible to unlock, you have to pay for it.
Hi everybody!
I have a problem on my Sony xz3 I bought one month ago and I just realized NFC was "not supported", as nfc check says.
In configuration, there is a nfc menu but nothing in it.
I didn't modify anything and I bought it re furnished.
Do you think there is something I could try before asking an exchange?
Hope to hear from you soon
Laurent
chances are that it is a Japanese vibrant of the phone and was flashed to a other region firmware. Previous user remove nfc system apk to prevent battery drain
You may need to reflash the original region firmware
First of all, thank you very much for your answer!!!
Would you accept to tell me how to proceed?
Best regards,
Laurent
I must add that I used sony pc companion to renew the "firmware" but it didnt change anything.... But, if I understand what you say, it might be a foreign phone not matching with the version?
And my XZ3 model is H8416 with android 10
Hope it helps...

I have the same problem. I bought a refurished phone from back market, even if the vendor is a spanish reseller (iREPACK). I've run the Device Info HW app, too, and now? Thank you for the reply!

However,i Saw iRepack didnt have any other xz3 (except maybe thé one you are going to sens back in thé next few days lol)

I finally was refunded and bought a fully working nfc xz3 from a back market seller called
Concord Service Center
in Romania
Happy!
I just wanted to post that I got hit with one of these too.
A cheap XZ3... $245Aus on eBay... which I bought to tide me over until I could buy a more expensive phone.
On the back is says it's an SOV39. A Japanese phone locked to "au by KDDI". But it is refirmware'd to H8416. The version for USA and much of Europe.
And yeah, you use it for a day and it seems fine, until you find out the NFC doesn't work and the Bluetooth is really flaky.
(And it just sucks that they didn't implement proper Gestures in Sony's Android 10)
So, the obvious moral of the story is beware of super cheap XZ3 phones.
