There is an offer for Xperia Z owners that gives them a 25€ voucher for SEN services (this includes PSN, which is what interests me the most). Is there some way to spoof our device to make the app think it's an Xperia Z? I'd really enjoy a free game off PSN.
You must edit build.prop.

I figured as much, but with google, I only find edits to spoof as samsung or nexus. Also, what do I need to edit for the spoof to work, exactly?
Can I get a full guide on how to do this, with all the data needed from the Xperia Z?
Ok, I have the Xperia Z build.prop right here (got it from some rom I grabbed on the XZ forum), which lines do I need to change exactly?
Nevermind, I did it.

Changing the build.prop to pose as another device should work nearly the same on all Android phones, be it Samsung or Sony. So did you get the voucher?

Yes, it worked. I used it on PSN and I'm currently downloading a game. Hopefully it's not illegal. I don't feel too bad about it because I own a ton of sony devices, so I probably deserve it too even though I don't have the XZ.
I'd like if this thread was deleted ASAP if I somehow broke any rule.
As of today the promotion is on hold due to to many people claiming the £20 vouchers, and seeing as I only just spoofed my sxs I just missed out lol. The message from sony does say it will start again and the promotion runs until halfway through June so hopefully I will get a chance to claim the voucher code.
Couldn you tell us how you did it?
Thanks

For anyone not with an Xperia Z, but still have an Android phone you must first be rooted, and download build.prop editor. Back up first, then set the settings to this:
ro.product.device=C6603
ro.product.model=C6603
ro.product.brand=Sony
ro.product.name=C6603_1272-8629
ro.product.board=MSM8960
ro.product.manufacturer=Sony
ro.build.fingerprint=Sony/C6603_1272-8629/C6603:4.1.2/10.1.A.1.350/ofp_rw:user/release-keys
The offer is now working again but Sony have updated the app to block spoofed phones well at least the sxs.

Hi, anyone knows why we have NFC and we don't have Google Wallet? Or this app only for annoying samsung ugly cheap plastic "masterpiece"?
Sent from my LT28i using xda app-developers app
No idea, but I can't get it installed either. I've tried sideloading this version: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/11307886/Wallet.apk (support for major credit cards) that was released on the main Android forum here at XDA but it says "Application Not Installed".
Anyone else have any luck with this?

I came across this thread earlier today. I don't know how valid it is but it looks like AT&T will be using Isis in place of Google Wallet.

I hear about ISIS is probably one and a half years. question is not to ATT that they block the service, my question for google is why they only support 6 devices.

Got it installed on my rooted, Canadian Rogers Xperia Ion but it won't run. (You must be rooted.)
You need to install Market Enabler and set it to T-Mobile USA.
Download the Google Wallet APK from here or here.

Does anyone know of a good replacement to Google Wallet that could be used in the interim while we wait on a solution?

Yeah, I had read about ISIS. Its lack of a release date (and lack of Wallet support, of course) was what was steering me toward finding an alternative.

Hmmm, according to the PDF linked from this Site ( http://www.nfcworld.com/2012/08/29/317459/isis-nfc-phones-appear-on-mastercard-list/ ), the ion is not listed. S, P, and Sola are.
Still think the different phone providers should not be allowed to block other options. It seems like it creates an artificial monopoly.
I tried to change the name of the phone in build.prop (but I'm no developer; I don't think I did it right) to trick it into thinking I was using a nexus phone. It didn't work. Has anyone else given this a try?

Regarding Google Wallet now on the Xperia TL and 4.1.2
I have noticed an extra option under Settings > More / NFC - Wallet (operator wallet) is only an option when NFC is checked on but there does not seem to be any further menus or options surrounding NFC/Wallet.
Google Wallet is now visible and even downloadable in the Play Store for the Xperia TL on AT&T but when I tap to run it I get an error saying unsupported device or network. Pretty confusing when Google lets you download an app to an apparently non-"compatible" phone on an unsupported network. any thoughts on this? the only thing i can think of is Google is working on implementing Wallet for other Android phones so for now the app is available but won't work yet
go ahead and vote for the sony xperia s as most hackable phone on xda 2012 holiday guide , the lg nexus 4 is about to i=win for the xperia s , don't let it and vote , just go to the upper left corner and select hackable phone and vote for the sony xperia s
But it's not... Because I was unfortunate enough to buy my Xperia S on a network, I'm completely locked out of ever unlocking the bootloader and installing custom roms. My network says to ask Sony, while Sony tell me to ask my network. Such a hackable phone!

I got my ION & X10 for free through at&t. But my ION is also unlockable. However I would have never been able to buy the $550 phone unlocked. This information has NOT been hidden. Everyone knows when you buy subsidised there is a chance you may never get it unlocked. If you want a fully unlockable phone you have to pay full price.
And as for the nexus 4, at least the S is being AOSP maintained by Sony. The N4 may not have any maintenance for AOSP. Just like the S they both have proprietary driver issues, but no word from LG about any development.
Also Sony was voted OEM of the year here @ xda. Their new support for after market development is a move most OEM's won't likely make.

Sorry Jaramie but you ate wrong.
A network locked phone is JUST that, you are not able to use other networks. In any way is referred that bootloader is locked or not. If not, explain how come some networks allow unlocking bl.
The only question with locked bootloaders is with warranty.
You want to talk about prices? Galaxy s2 and 3 are equal or more expensive that xsperia s... And are hackable, locked or unlocked to network. My previous Huawei was more hackable than Sony.
Sony has an amazing security feature that blocks you to flash custom kernels into your phone... so it should be the most Unhackable brand, not the opposite.
And with that in mind: Xperia S is not, in any universe, the most hackable phone.
PS: I can't understand the excitement to make campaigns to vote for a phone. To be the first on a poll will get you exactly what?!

I read about it in the forums a while ago and I believe so, but a few weeks after the newer Xperia phones get the update. (I read that from somewhere, but not sure if it is true.
EDIT:
From another user's forum, I guess the Ion might not get it after all. Shame on AT&T. Here is the original forum.

Yea just ATT said they will not update it but I bet they know we can flash the other ftf's as well. This could be a good thing as maybe Sony will give us a unlock soon. I would think we should see a JB for Ion soon as its starting to roll out to the first ones in line.

i am in bro,we will get the update android 4.4 or atleast 4.3 if Qualcomm works on it
Good luck with this. Seeing as all the devices are reaching their life cycle it will be very difficult to get anyone to pay attention at this point. I guess the real question is do they plan to create drivers for 4.3 or 4.4?? Kinda doubt it though.

thats true but for me this is a new phone and the hardware has the potential so why not allow to use it.this will increase QUALCOMM's marketing and even the users will be happy who paid their hard earned money on all of these expensive phones :laugh:

i doubt it will work but i'd be happy to be wrong

Until Sony announce it I won't be believing it. That claim is very easy to make and could be a hoax.
I am going to contact sony right now and see if this is true. Wish me luck
lol... the callers who pick our calls at the sony centre are really dumb. they don't know anything. they dont even have any idea whats going in sony in present.. how can they tell what will take place in future
p.s... don't believe them!!
I think this is joke
The thing we can do for now is to wait if this rumor will be true.
Will be Android 5 with full ARM ,not 4.4. )))
Sony replied to my email. Sorry guys it's bad news. They say that the xperia m could get the 4.4 update, just not any time soon. Looks like we will be waiting a while. They also stressed the word "could", so they are still unsure if they should do it or not.

ART, Immersive Mode, better RAM managment(atleast that's what they say). Anyway, it's ok, but it isn't anything special. Also, Immersive mode is sometimes pain in the ass, since pulling down will show status bar and nav bar, so it was quite annyoing for me when i acidentally pulled them down in certain apps and games.
