[Q] my Xperia Arc S smells bad!!! - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello
i've recently bought an xperia arc s smart phone
i noticed that when i run a heavy game the phone smells bad!! especially when i open the back cover,, i can easly smell it.
it's not coming from the battery, i think the source of it is near the camera
i want to know if this is normal o it's a problem with my device
thank you | and sorry for my bad english

Choosing a secondary phone

I've been thinking of buying a secondary phone because the play is kinda heavy and sometimes I don't need to carry the gamepad. I have low budget and I need something with a good screen and hdmi, nice sound and NFC. I was considering Xperia Sola or U, even though U doesn't have NFC
What do you recommend?

Info about one x

Hi guys, i use sony for a long time, iam interested in one x.
I want from you to give info how is battery life on it, how performance overall is, does it has some kind of problem and etc.
And most of all your opinion about camera ( i used satio, arc, and now xperia s) so camera is important.
Thank you.

Phone is awesome,its gonna be a real advance to go on HOX from those phones you used.
Javi se na pm ako hoces vise info
Came to the HOX from Xperia X10 and Arc
It's just awesome!
Only bad thing is that the battery drains quite quick when you use it hard.

IMO,design quality is very good,and the phone itself looks great,especially white colour (I've got the white one).
But when i was touching the upper-right side of the screen I could hear something like a ''plastick crack'' or so on the back-don't know why...But that happened maybe 3 times and i have my X for 3 months now.So...Nothing to worry about i think
Cheers

Sony LT26i Xperia s cracked screen

Hi folks,
I am new here. Yesterday, my smartphone accidentally fell on the ground, and on the bad side. I did not have a protecting case on it, and the display cracked. The weird thing is that the display is still functional, works as good as it worked when the screen was not cracked. Since I used ezSEMC to unlock my phone, and I have also rooted my phone, my warranty is voided. Thus I am wondering what part should I get, and where to buy it online.
Thanks,
Sanil
I had the same problem and mines currently off getting fixed. Most bank accounts have mobile insurance included or optional so i got mine sorted that way. It's an expensive fix otherwise!

Glueing Xperia play in open position?

Im planing to get a brand new xperia play R800X just to use as a gaming device, im thinking of glueing it in the open position so the flex cable doesn't get damaged when opening closing the device.
i just know the flex is the weak spot, and i don't want it failing, and i will just use it for gaming
Does this sounds too crazy?

OR, or, or.....
You could just be careful with it and not slide it open like you're trying to send it into another galaxy.

I wouldn't glue it if I were you.
Apply sticky adhesive rubber feet here instead.

So it doesn't close with those applied, or for keeping the screen more separated when opening/closing?

So it prevents it FROM closing.
I replaced my flex cable on my r800x. But after putting back together now my speakers sound is distorted. Hated that thing with a passion.

Bad cable hookup? maybe my vga camera went down in quality lol

Have been using a R800x for 2 years with no flex cable problems sliding it open. If you just NEVER close it you will likely never have the problem. Why bother gluing it and risk screwing it up

No I disassembled my R800x 3 times and putting it back together I still have the same issue. The problem is to get to the flex you have to dissemble the whole xperia play which inclues the disassembly of the gamepad.

Its even more difficult to find a Play replacement now because of the stereo speakers which almost no phone has.

Odp: Glueing Xperia play in open position?
Just don't close it. It's not that hard. I've bought the play about 3 months after it came out (my 1st touch phone ) and I have it till this day and I've never had any problems with hardware. It's about 2 years and my play was never dismantled even tho I've got a custom firmware from about 3 days I got my phone. don't be so paranoid. Just take care of it and you'll be fine

If you want something for games you should get a PSP or psvita because there arent going to be many more games for this since its pretty old. Unless you want it for emulators then that's a good reason to get it

Do not get the Pspvita, terrible handheld device with a dinosaur os. No monter hunter, no big developers supporting this device, no android, no sdcard, umd, nothing. I wouldn't even play the device if was given for me free.

Wow! You repaired it in one day The fastest fix I ever seen... BTW. When I was on practice(school practice, one month) fixing phone l(ordering i.e.screen + touch, and replacing) takes one week. Good to hear that you repaired it so fast and next time hold your phone harder
