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?
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.

Hi,
My desire Z battery just got dead and is leaving charge in a couple of hours. So I need to buy a new Desire Z battery. But since the phone is not officially released in India, I'm not sure if I can get a battery from HTC.
If anyone knows from where I can get a new battery for my device, kindly help me out here.
I would recommend eBay. But you'll have to find a seller that ships to India

i personally searched a lot for buying an original battery but all i do was sucking
all i found was china made atomic battery that all sucked
but i have no idea HTC stopped making batterys with this voltage and Amperage
and then if you found something expect china made battery's tell me please
Hey you can try to find out if there are batteries for another HTC model. There is a model battery that fits in the desire z.

I'd like to but only thing i know that desire s and z battery's are the same but i think in new HTC phones there are no removable battery
My battery life is getting real poor.
I charge it every night and top it up at east twice every day at work.
I do use it a lot, and sync everything and have Google now running. I like all the features though.
I am rooted running 4.2.2 jelly beer ROM. I don't think its the ROM as it seems about the same as the other 4.2.2 ROMs I've had.
This mornings drive to work I streamed 20 mins of music from Google play via 3g and I was down to 68% when I got to work?! This seems a bit excessive to me!
Is there any app where I can test the battery or something?
Battery is a year old. Last battery used to turn the phone off when using camera flash. This one hasn't had this problem though.
Any help appreciated

Seems like when I charge it too, it jumps from 70% or so straight to 100%? Strange...

Your statement here is proof that your battery is at the end of its life. Any battery has a finite life, and I have found that if you buy a cheap li-ion battery it won't last long time.
I bought 2 cheap li-ion batteries for my HTC legend and they only lasted 6 months each before experiencing exactly the same issue you have.
So I can only assume your "new battery" was a cheap too.
Usually the heavier the battery the better it will be.

Second battery was also an official HTC battery. I did get it from eBay though so its possible it could be fake? It looked the same and serial nos all matched etc...
I'm thinking about changing phones pretty soon but I'll need a spare phone so maybe I'll eBay another one.
In fairness I have hammered this phone. The amount of use it gets is immense!

I'd go through Amazon if I were you, they seem to be the most legit. Or buy a reputable extended battery there's also a thread somewhere here with a mod that utilises the battery from the Sensation if you're comforable dabbling with some hardware hacks

Got one from eBay for 5.60. Said original, looks legit and world of difference.
Hopefully be OK!
I'm planning a note 2 in a few weeks but I need this fully functional for when I go out for a few beers. Lol.

Search eBay or Craigslist for Xperia Zs and you will find many going for $400-$500, search for ZLs and you can find them in the low $300s and even lower!
Today I bought a black C6506 off a guy in San Diego for $260. He said he paid $550, but was complaining the cell phone exchange services would only give him $150. It's not in immaculate condition, but it is unlocked and has an unlockable bootloader. I could have easily brought him down to $240, but considering I paid the same (plus tax which made it $600) I felt it was a good value.
His loss. This will be for a friend.
At $260 he got ripped off... I've gotten ~$450 offers easily... Craigslist is never a good place to sell if you want a decent return though.

It is if you are selling something people know. No one knows the ZL so no one made him good offers I will make sure it goes to a good home. You will probably not sell it as high as on eBay, but you won't have to pay eBay/Paypal fees, so a lot of the times Craigslist is better.
I still like the ZL over the Z coz of its looks. Only if the ZL had a glass back it wud look premium but I have no complaints against it. This device being so rare in the market, ppl get confused as to which device is this. Makes u feel special
Sent from my C6506 using xda premium
I paid $535 for the ZL in Amazon last month and look at the price now, you can buy a Z for $520. While the iPhone keep in a good value for more time, Android phones suffer low value in the market after few months.

I love the ZL for its rarity. And market value doesn't bother me at all since I always sell my phones to friends and family for half the price I bought them for.

I have both Z and ZL. Prefer the ZL - the Z is too awkward in terms of size and flaps. And the ZL has a better display (very noticeable and corroborated by GSMArena) and a couple of neat extras (IR and Camera button).
Everything else is identical, functionally.
Both were well under £400 from Amazon - new, unlocked etc.)
I don't understand why it's not popular..
When I see people talking about Honami saying "I wish it had smaller bezels" i think of ZL.
I think ZL looks better than Honami....

It's not because ZL suck or what. Simply, Sony markets the Z as the flagship and doesn't sell the ZL everywhere compared to the Z.

It should be the other way, the ZL is more cheaper than the Z, which mean the ZL have more market penetration for the price.

The Z doesn't have a camera button?? I thought it did. The Z never appealed to me because of the flaps. I really don't my phone to be waterproof. The Z got picked up by more carriers than the ZL, so that has helped make the Z more known than the ZL.
No it doesn't - as I said.

My statement was meant to be a surprise, not disbelief
The Z is branded by carriers and is sold subsidized. The ZL is not. In places like the US most people buy their phones subsidized (not to mention carriers do marketing) so the ZL has no chance of matching the same popularity.
Here in Brazil, we didn't received the Z version. Sony explore the market here only with ZQ (a.k.a ZL C6503).
So we have carrier subsidiary prices. I've got mine for 900 BRL, something like 450 USD, while the full price was 2000 BRL, something like 1000 USD.
I know, prices here are awful.
Sony US doesn't even have the ZL on their support site

I don't know. It's odd because they sell it on their online store, and I've seen it at their Sony Style stores as well. Again, someone fell asleep at the wheel and forgot about it. I'm sure they will still support it.
