[Q] MSM8960 on my Xperia T?!! - Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V

Hi everyone
I recently purchased an Xperia T unlocked and while looking in the build.prop I noticed something weird, the proc showed up as MSM8960! As I was unsure because I had already messed around with my phone, I decided to do a system repair through pc companion to set my phone back to base. I then used android system info to recheck and sure enough, the proc still shows MSM8960. Am I dreaming or isn't the processor supposed to be a MSM8260-A.
Please enlighten me, have Sony updated things on later Xperia T's or is it just wishful thinking on my behalf.

Mine says the same, I don't know if it's supposed to be like this, it probably just doesn't specify this exactly for some reason.

Mine says same, never rooted or anything!
Maybe sony put the Xperia V CPU in our T

Mines rooted but never flashed a Rom or installed CWM yet.

Going to ask sony now:

Perhaps a software problem but if not it would be weird!!

Well, at least I'm not the only one. If someone who owns the T since October did the same tests we'd be basically fixed...

I own my xt since November and it say's the same...

Ok thanks for the feedback. It's still a bit strange. I wonder what Sony will say, if anything, in the thread that was opened on their site.

Mine is manufactured in early March 2013 and it also says MSM8960.

Same on mine. But it's the same right? Only LTE is the difference.

Yep, it is technically

Right to clarify this:
The chip set in the T is the 8260A. However for software purposes it is so similar to the 8960 that it may as well have been named that. Every reference you will find will be to 8960 - technically in CAF 8260A doesn't even exist. This is why you find the baseband saying 8960.

Sony's answer:
Correct chip set is MSM8960.
The white paper is going to be corrected accordingly.

Most of us pre-ordered and got an extra item instead.
Some got the Sony MDR-1R
Some got the DK-26
Some got bluetooth speakers etc etc
Maybe that's the reason. I don't think people can still get those items anymore when they buy the phone, but these without the protector included are still from the old batch.
Who knows...

Looks like it is made by a 5 year old and Xperia T is twice in the image, 1 with YES and 1 with NO.
Looks fake to me.
Edit: And the Google edition of the Xperia Z will be updated by google of course... and don't know why it is in here anyway

Different strokes... Wait until you take a picture on the Nexus 4 (or from what the specs say the 5). Unlike the Sony, it is truly horrible camera.
The trick is never buy a subsidized phone, then it won't be simlocked or bootloader locked. That was an option with the Xperia T. I picked up mine for $279 at newegg.
The camera on my t is rubbish. When you take a video all you can here is a clicking noise from the camera

just to make sure what u talking about...you mean a noisy autofocus rattle sound, in videos?
if thats what you mean, i had that too with some Roms, but with omniRom its gone for me. dont know why. guess its a problem with some mic or whatever. happen for me just with some roms, not with all...crazy huh
thats your problem?
Maybe the Xperia T LTE is the one getting 4.3 update. I think the 3G one will not get the update. Maybe i'm wrong.
Neither are just like what happened to my play. A phone with specs good enough but not given the updates on purpose. If sony want to gain the market they need to release 1 flagship a year and support their previous flagships for longer than 5 months. The galaxy s3 is older and is getting android 4.3 and why aren't we?

I also will no longer support Sony's devices after this, kind of a slap in the face. They can take their T and stick it
this is what sony deserve after they screwed my over twice. First with my xperia play now with phone. No wonder why xperias depreciate so quickly

Because no update to new version and sony bad, nexus cool because google. New version is good, because it keeps on battery half hour longer/lasts shorter but better. And profiles/new function in camera which i will use two times in my life/better integration with google plus omg! And no new version means that flagship abandoned. I am betrayed. sony bad.
To be honest i don't understand it too. When it comes - it comes. If not - who cares. Update from 2.3 to 4.0 was a big deal, because everything changed. API, nature of Android etc. GB slowly died and became incompatible with many interesting apps.
But update from one jelly bean to another? Dudes... It's only features!
Please just be happy that Sony released quite recent well written Android version. It's highly optimized and allows to do almost everything that is available to 4.2 and 4.3 devices..

Got mine from a seller through amazon today. Also looking for the app packaged into an apk, or even a zip that could be flashed.
I called Sony up to see what they would say and there knew pretty much nothing. about an hour of being on hold mostly while she checked every detail of information i gave her, she told me that the initial release was just going to be for the UK and that i shouldn't even have the device (i'm in USA).
I've tried flashing the lifelog apk from an early Z2 apps pull but with no luck.

Same here. They dropped the ball big time
As far as I can tell, the SmartBand isn't even officially released yet. It's showing as a preorder item on Sony's online store. I'm sure the app will be available when it's officially released.
Sony are hardly in the wrong if you purchased one early from an unofficial source, are they?
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but Sony aren't even showing a release date and Amazon are showing the 11th of April for release.

This is so disappointing that the app isn't available yet, but it's nice to have the device ready to go. I'm in the states myself so I hope it won't be too much longer before this thing is usable. I've never been so excited about being an early adopter of a product that isn't even technically out yet.
I just noticed on the product page that Android 4.4 is required to use the SmartBand.

That's really strange... the whitepaper available via a link on the page you reference states "to any Android (v4.3 or later)"
Hopefully that isn't the case... I have the Xperia Z1s with T-Mobile and I would be greatly disappointed if their own recently released device doesn't even support it (its running 4.3). What also concerns me is when I try to pair it with NFC it launches Smart Connect and I get the message "Accessory not compatible. Bluetooth Low Energy is required in order to use this accessory." when both the os version (4.3) and the phone specs clearly support BT 4.0LE,
Well, I didn't read the whitepaper. It says Android 4.4 more than once on the product page though.
I guess you'll see when it officially releases and the app is available.

Well there's an updated white sheet that does reflect the 4.4 requirement. I honestly never even looked beyond anything but the BLE requirement.
I have bee in touch with Xperia forum Sony people and staff seems surprised that the product is released Asia but the app is not... It is frustrating to have the band but but being able to use it ... I do confirm JB will not work as it needs the ble and smart connect in order to dl the mgmt app of the band.. However the links to the apps pointing to the store are dead..

Why won't JB 4.3 work? 4.3 is when ble was first officially supported by the OS, not 4.4... There are other ble devices that work fine in 4.3.
i just noticed that the lifelog is now up on the play store (found it on my phone only), and also sony posted a article on it
[Can't include link here as i have not posted enough yet] but it is at sony mobile blog for 2014/4/8
However it is stating that it is not compatible with my device (nexus 5). Can anyone pull it and get it working for non xperia devices?

I think it depends entirely on how people use their phones. I, for one, don't see any serious bugs, not to mention all the bloatware that comes with it, and can actually get 2 days of battery life on one charge. Actually, I can't think of any bug aside from the visual problem when installing apps.

Yeah, I saw there was another thread in the Gear 2 forums (they should probably combine them!). They said the same thing about it being international or something. I read one post saying they installed it with Odin, not sure if that was true but I will just hold off installing it.

Hi guys, there's a new official BTU firmware available via ota. Change log lists s health improvement plus ui improvement. Will test and report anything extraordinary. Personally I'm hoping the pedometer learns to count steps and the heart rate sensor to stop jumping from 70 to 140 in a few seconds.
