bought this phone used form a respected eBay seller, i love the phone but the signal is nonexistent. After many hours of research it is determined the at the problem is the antenna that was peeling off on the back. could any one please help me fix this issue. I want to use this phone real bad!!!!
It works decently enough as a pocket game machine but it would be cool if it was a phone too!
thanks in advance, VLad

Well you can try electrical tape or buy a antenna repair kit for this phone or its sister I think its the neo L or something that has the same bord

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.

Hey guys. I decided to buy a protecting case for my Xperia Play. I heard that the best one is the Trident Aegis, if not maybe you guys could recommande some, And another thing is I live in Europe but I don't know any good sites to order one so if you can give me one or more ?
Yea that's a good one so is zagg's cases and also outterbox

Any European "store" link, but not with used stuff ?
I would not buy an otterbox case. Most phones I would recommend. Their case damages our plays. Pushes the slider sprat from the gamepad.

No your fine, I wasn't attacking you by any means... just dont want someone with a PLAY ti damage it due to Otterbox. Not only do they damage our PLAYs but they also break a lot. Before I ditched mine I had three break on me in 4 months and each time Otterbox would replace it for free.... yes their support was great but htis product not so great on our phones. However I have heard Trident are the way to go for our phone, although I never had one before.
I've been using the trident case for over a year now, and it has protected my play from multiple drops, me falling on it, and it being tossed around in my bag. The only complaint I have about it is that it doesn't have plugs to protect the ports from debris (Getting sand out of the play is a pain). Anyways, I can definitely recommend the trident aegis.

Trident case.
Don"t buy anything else.
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?

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.

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

Hey guys!
One day I woke up and I noticed all the pictures from my camera were weird.. they couldn't focus bright light properly and had a bit of a "glaze" to them. I attached some pics for example. I looked at the lens and after cleaning it found its coating was coming off. Since the Ion is my main camera, do any of you know how to fix this? It would be greatly appreciated!!
Im having the same problem. The only way to fix this is buy another back panel for your phone. Dont use any wet substance or chemicals while cleaning the lens.

I ended up calling AT&T and they'll send me a new Ion since I'm still under 1 year Warranty and this isn't considered "Physical Damage".
Right now though, I feel like selling my Ion for a HTC One Nexus Edition though... Decisions, decisions..
