You can check out the accessories here
The arc came out here yesterday. I went to a local shop and there was a booklet titled 'Xperia arc 400 Accessories'
There is an absolute shed load of covers, cases, and replacement battery covers, along with chargers, and kits for cars and bicycles. There are a lot of lenses for the camera too, plus lots of screen covers.
i am hoping for an official extended battery (with back cover to match) that will double the battery capacity to 3000mAh minimum and become as thick as the x10.. one of the biggest perks to owning a smartphone is you can't go a day of heavy use without fear of your battery dying. i get paranoid when the battery reaches < 30%.
That's not a perk! A perk is something good.

lol I spotted that, but let it slide
Oooh, I'd love to have some lenses for the camera Can't find any on the internet, tho.
Anyone with better luck?
No specific accessories for the new flagship yet? Bummer, a dock or official extended battery would have been great.
Go to Amazon jp seach for x12, some cases looks good!

Why xperia arc is renamed to "Xperia x12" or "LT15" in several states?

I agree. A dock would be wicked. I dont think it will happen though. Look at where the usb port n 3.5mm jack is on the play. That was designed with a dock in mind.

I didn't find the complete book to download, but this page had some pics:

and I googled the product code you can see on one of the pages and it seems like some of the stuff you mention is made by Princeton:

Dang that's so cheap for the back cover....I kinda wish I had the black XPlay... Lol.
I sometimes wish I had a white xPlay but like my black one too (more Playstation like less iphone like).
The best backplate I imagine is leather covered or chrome but dn't know if it would affect the radio signal...
That with a dual SD adapter maybe and foldable out stand but without making it bulkier
Don't know if it is possible and how much it would have to cost

I too dropped my phone and it landed on top down a small nick on back plate as well as top screen slider. Battery cover is an easy replacement, I wish the slider part was easily changed
Good day fellow pinoys.. Just want to ask if anyone here knows where I can get parts for my play specifically flex cable and back housing/complete housing? Thanks
Sent from outer space using xda app on my xplay
for the slider flex cable, SE glorietta 3 still doesn't have it, but they do have the digitizer.. i haven't checked yet with MemoXpress SM North EDSA if they have parts yet, people there are a bunch of pricks..
as for me, i bought 3 pieces of flex from UK (through a friend), and replaced my digitizer at glorietta 3..
PS, my flex are all OEM
PPS, housings are only acquired through ebay or glorietta afaik
Thanks for the reply.. Just want to ask do u sell your extra flex? Thanks..

hi narflynn619. I went to SM MOA sony service center on sunday August 12. I made a reservation for a flex cable and lcd screen. they told me to wait for 2-3 weeks. well i guess i'll try to wait but i doubt if it would really take 2-3 weeks. In a matter of 4 weeks i would be working at Ilocos province and i dont know if my phone would get fixed by then. It makes me mad to have bought this phone, im so disappointed. I cant use my phone right now and i am forced to buy a temporary cellphone to place my SIM. How much did you buy your flex cable? Would you be kind enough to sell your extra flex cable for xperia play please.

You need not pay for the reservation if you would request for flex cable and screen, provided, you are covered by the product's warranty.
I also went to SM North Edsa lately. They did'nt even bother to take the phone for diagnosis. I just told the attendant of the "grainy screen freeze appearance", and voila... she told me there is a need to replace the flex cables. (well i dont know either if she's right) I didnt bother entrusting my phone to them though i requested for a flex cable and new screen too. The attendant got me pissed off! She gives no "assurance" of a positive solution. She says, "the flex and screen may arrive in 2-3 weeks, (common statement, like a template) but usually goes beyond that, depending upon the availability of the item from the source, no definite time, just call us often for follow up".
Well of course, she's right. But a WARRANTY is a WARRANTY. There should always be available items for warranty covered parts that can be delivered within a DEFINITE period. SONY, you gave us warranty! Warranty for what! Like selling false HOPE! Why not give customers a definite answer!
(Im sorry im not yelling at you) I was just mad about my phone, being so f*****g frustrating.
Maybe i'll try going to Glorietta 3 tomorrow. I hope they would be more professional in dealing with this. Im trying to look for those accessories at e-bay but i dont have a paypal account..
I guess i might turn up asking for a replacement of the unit if not solved. I have availed of the 3-year extended warranty upon purchase. Though I prefer Xperia Play over Arc S (arc goes down to almost 16,000.00 to 19,000.00 per unit now). So if i could get a fair replacement, i would give up my PLAY.

First off, are you a native of Region 1 or just going there to work? I live permanently in La Union, first province just before Ilocos Sur, but I live in Quezon City right now because of my job.
Good luck with that (sarcastic). Like I told you, they're a bunch of soulless pricks who seem to have universal replies to customers in almost all of their branches. See I told you SM NORTH EDSA BRANCH will only drop turd on you! The best branch I've been so far was Glorietta 3. They are very accommodative, willing to help, and friendly I even made friends with one of their technicians.
As for the slider flex, I only have 1 piece remaining and I'm sorry I'm reserving it for the "incoming crisis" (since I noticed that OEM flex for the Xperia PLAY only lasts 5-7 months, I'm disappointed but I'm really in love with my phone right now).
It's just unbelievable that after buying my Xperia PLAY May last year, it had undergone already three repairs in just one year (two repairs for the slider flex and one for the digitizer). I'm hoping the new digitizer and flex cable will now last, as I am soooooooooooo careful in opening and closing the gamepad.
PS, the slider flex cost me around PhP800.00 per piece, converted from UK Pounds.

Another Phone up for parts
Hi,
I have a play in India, whose slide flex cable is damaged. All other parts are working perfectly.
Looking to sell. Please contact if interested.
Wow, I didn't know the flex cable breaks within 5-7 months. Guess I've just been lucky with my 11 month xp.
Ure a lucky KID.
First off, I'm not sure if this is appropriate forum for this, but since it is technically a phone piece, it may fall under Accessories. If not, the mods can move it to the relevant forum.

Hey all. My wife'x Nexus 5 screen was shattered by a small vase falling on it.
I'm searching around on ebay and amazon and the price is coming out to about $80-100 for a screen/digitizer replacement.
I'm posting here to confirm if anyone else has any place they can recommend. My primary fear is that the replacement I might receive may be a cheaper/bad LCD (viewing angle wise). Is that a possibility? Or are all the replacements basically the same screen?
Thanks.

I usually get it off eBay. But there was this one seller on Amazon that I used for my N4 that was in the US and quick. Don't know if they are selling a N5 display but PM me and I can give you the deets. $80-100 is about the going rate on eBay at this time. I actually will recommend spending the extra $10-15 more for the frame included. It is a quick swap of internals at that point. Then flip the broken display up on ebay and recoup about $20 back.

Yup exactly. Really quick switch out. Just swap internals. Getting the display off of the frame is annoying since LG uses a silicon adhesive to bond the display to the frame. This makes it more resistant to heat. It is better to just sell the broken one to someone who has the time to separate all 3 components.

Ya that was the first place I saw when I initially started looking for the part but they seem to be sold out mostly and more expensive than other listings I've seen, I guess because they are OEM parts. I'll keep an eye on the site but continue looking.

I would like to order off of ebay, problem is I have zero experience ordering from dealers on ebay. What should I be looking for from sellers other than their ratings?
The pricing seems to be $1 to $50 difference for the screen + frame varying from China to the States but offer what seems to be the same product.

As the title suggests. I'm looking for a MagNextor-X Adapter seller that ships to Canada.
There was an ebay seller but ebay error shows this seller can't take payments anymore.
There there's the amazon one but doesn't ship to Canada. UGH
I found them on eBay from a California seller who shipped to Canada in less than a week. Ended up costing around c$60 for two of them (discounted shipping on 2nd item).
Wow that's expensive! $30 / each. Guess that's the rip off you have to settle with for living in Canada

As long as you have the adapter you're good I suppose.
Don't buy the magnector. It doesn't fit flush into the charging port on the z3. U had to return mine and buy something off of eBay.

90% of what can be purchased on eBay doesn't charge at full speed and has an inferior magnet. I'd simply modify the adapter with a sharp knife or scalpel if if doesn't fit perfectly.
You can try but the thing that doesn't fit is the metal plate between the two charge connectors and I doubt you are going to be able to modify that. Someone posted a link to an official sony magnetic cable in another thread.

It "Fits" as far as the port snapping into place and charging. However, that's only the metal part, there's also the plastic from the charger that doesn't sit flush against the phone. This allows it to roll up and down and is very weak against this direction of force. So even when just picking up my phone, it slightly disconnects just enough that it stays on, but stops charging until re-seated. These are far from perfect, just acceptable...

Its a magenet, it charges my phone, is only a issue if I am trying to use it while it is charging which I don't. Works well. Personally planning to use a phone with a magnet stuck to the side isn't something I would expect to work perfectly as it is in the middle of the side of the phone and I would want to hold said phone.

And what you're saying is the easy route... People might also say why pay 500$ for a phone when you can get one with almost the same specs for half a price.

But I am not talking about "almost the same specs" but "exactly the same specs".
e.g.
http://www.ebay.de/itm/191248753745
One End is Micro USB, the other one is the magnetic charger.
Except these cheap adapters usually charge too slow to be useful. I have a pile of different ones lying around here and just one in ten works fine. The Magnector is actually reliable.
