[Q] Xperia Arc S still in production?

Anyone know? Or is the stock in the stores & warehouses all there is of this phone forever?

Yep all new devices are being made, if shops are selling it is only old stock.
New phones like the s,p,u are just coming out so why make old phone.

I dont think so..Sony manufactures a model atleast for a year from the month of launch.
i dont know whether "Sony" and "Sony Ericsson" will cause a problem..
but normally they dont stop production atleast for a year.they may reduce the number of output.
BTW Wrong section...Question goes to Q&A Section and NOT in General Section

i bay it for 220euros 1 month ago

Stopped?
I have contacted the biggest electronics shop today and they don't sell the Xperia Arc S anymore because they're out of stock. The informant also told me that Sony Ericsson stopped producing these phones because Sony bought Sony Ericsson. The best way to still get this phone is to search online on the internet. There are still enough people who have a new Xperia Arc S.

Bricked Xperia S

Hi guys.
My Xperia S got bricked, i don't know why :/
I have a deodexed stock rock for some months now. one week ago i've done a full reset, under settings menu.
Yesterday, i was going to check if i have any message, and my phone is dead.
It does not want to turn on, led does not torn on with charger or connected to PC, and my PC does not recognizes it even with flashtools.
I've tried some Unbrick tips, nothing worked. Removed battery for 7 or 8 hours, tried to flash something, nothing happens...
Can please someone help me?
Thanks!

Erm. I recommend you to bring it to a sony service center or to a technician.
This happened to me also, the technician said that the board is damaged and replaced it. And now its working again
At first he tried to replace the digitizer and LCD but nothing happened.

How much did you paid for the board?
I'm not lucky at all... -_- I think i should not traded my Sony for another brand... lol

I'm not worried about Lollipop... I'm very satisfied with android 4.4.4 on my Mi3...
But if you could buy the Mi4, you will not regret, and i think it will get Lollipop before Mi3...

umm well, not like that! BTW, I did a little research and seems you r right.. I better save on some more money! Thanks!

Don't take Xperia S, battery is really bad (3h max while browsing internet on 3g / wifi), 1GB of RAM is not enough for this phone

good that common sense prevailed.
buy a new handset even if your budget is a limiting factor. this way you will save the hassles of battery issues + android version.

Dude, it's almost 4 years old..., not 3. Still alive thanks to XDA devs. I'm amazed how I started with Gingerbred 2.3, and now I'm running full-blown 5.1.1 Lollipop. That phone survived for 3 generations!

[Q] New battery from eBay?

Hi everyone!
Can I trust ebay/aliexpress for new battery? Any after-buying suggestions? (ebay preferred..)
Like most of ppl, since I updated to 5.0.2 lp my battery drops from 30% to 0..
As I see it, after a lot of research and experiments, it's probably hardware issue..
Thx

I bought this one. when it comes i'll give my feed back

Would you say it's on par with original battery, when you bought phone?
There are multiple sources online, I found some in Latvia and Spain, but they all look the same, don't know if it is worth to pay a bit extra for them.
I've just bought this phone as used, second hand phone and I'm getting ~4hours screen on time, on wifi, 3g, whatsapp, messenger, without gaming and lowered adaptive brightness. Don't know if it's worth buying new battery or that should be normal.

Often chinese batteries have those capacities are just written and batteries aren't half proclaimed capacity. But if it holds charge as original, that's whats important. Thank you very much. Do you remember at which seller you bought it, can you post link or send me as PM?

NFC above battery
Hi.. Did you change the battery by yourself? How did you change the NFC?

Yes.
That's a little tricky - there's 2 stickers- a brown electronic one, and a silver metal one beneath. Be sure to move BOTH to the new battery. I had some problems until I realized that.
The easiest way is to cut around the whole thing with sharp blade and stick it back in the new battery.
Good luck!

Thanks for answer. In the end, I've got some used battery from another Z1C, and it's great now, I'm getting 7h SoT with MX rom, with a lot of usage.
