Side cover fell off...

Hi everyone,
My wife's side cover that covers the mini usb and hdmi fell off and we do not know where. Is this something that can be replaced? Is this something that is pretty useful or will she be ok without one? Thanks

Personally, I have been tempted to remove mine. It's not as annoying as the one on the X10, but sometimes it gets in the way...particularly in the smart dock. Does the missing cover detract from the aesthetic appeal? I would imagine that it would be more hassle than it is worth to replace.

Thanks just didn't know if ports will get damaged without cover.

Probably not damaged, but they'll get dirty.

Mine got lost last night, does anyone know where to find replacement?

[Q] GOSH DARN IT. I dropped my glorious Xperia Play and cracked the screen. Help!

I was foolishly opening a lock at night, using my phone as a flashlight, and then I dropped it. It cracked.
My OCD will not allow me to use this phone without fixing the screen. I'm willing to DIY it, but I'm not sure if buying digitizers from Ebay is safe. They're only $15, after all. I'd expect them to be a bit more, but what do I know? I just dropped my phone while opening a lock!
It won't let me post Ebay links yet, but I guess I can just ask if you know of any legitimate digitizers for the Xperia play.
PS: If it matters at all, I own the R800x.

I'd recommend searching on Ebay and look mainly for trusted people's comments. But are you sure you would know how to put it back?

I bought digitizer + frame twice from ebay. Digitizer worked well but there was something that I dont like, there
were many fingerprint on the digitizer.

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?

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.

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

my phone felt from my window on the second floor, the screen is NOT CRACKED, my touch screen is working BUT i can't see a thing, when i press power button the screen flashes or sometimes black and white stripes appears.
What do you think it is?
Do i need to replace everything(touch screen and LCD)?
PLEASE HELP, people are charging me an unbelievable price.:crying:

Either the inner screen broke or the flex cable came loose. What phone do you have?

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

[Q] Is the Sony Xperia Z durable?

I'm thinking of getting one on a 2 year contract, will the phone last for 2 years? I mean it's glass on the front and the back right?
And is the reception and call quality good? Can anyone tell me their experience with this phone so far?

You can post here, of course, but I'm not sure that you have a good answer to your request.
It was just a suggest

I think Xperia Z can last longer than Samsung and LG
I always fould people have their samsung screen cracked (some people say LG is weak too)
Sony phones are usually harder compared to most other brand (maybe not as hard as Nokia)
still, people usually found that XZ can be scrached easilly.
One problem of XZ is that the battery cannot be removed normally by us
Since you said u're going to use it for two years, i'm afraid the battery may get bad, then u need to pay sony for expensive replace

Yes, it's scratched easy but it has a pre installed screen protector right?

Yes, there's screen protector that can be removed. But some found that removing the screen protector will also remove the SONY logo
I actually dont mean that the screen is easy to be scrached, but some other parts of the phone
(Some people tell me about it, I'm not sure which part is it exactly)

I prefer a phone that's completely unbranded.
Whenever someone asks me what phone it is I tell them it's a Sony and they're amazed.

Removing the pre installed screen protector is the stupidest thing you can do .. It releases all the pressure of the shatter proof glass so now it can crack with the slightest drop ...

Can't really call it shatter proof glass if it cracks without a screen protector :/

Hmm
You already took it down?? (Well, this is your personal preference. I wont be like u...)
That protector actually have another function...
Sony said that it can reduce internal reflaction of the screen to give a more clear image.
Still, I would recommend u to buy a screen protector yourself.
