hi,
my sony xperia S LT26i was working perfectly until suddently the screen went completely white,the phone is on and if someone calls it also rings but its completely white,i've just upgraded to android ICS,please help
In theory A-GPS is "assisted GPS" which is utilizing the satellites as well as mobile/wifi networks. In some devices however there are no GPS chips and location is determined only using cell network. Manufacturers still call it "AGPS" though. My question is - how it is in case of tipo? Can you get accurate location without using wifi and mobile network?
Tipo can use gps without data. Just dont tick the top item in location menu. But it will be less accurate. If data is on, I can get more gps satellite lock.

I don't own the Tipo yet. I am asking because I had the idea to use it for endomondo ( www endomondo com ) when having fun on my bike. This requires tracking without data connection when I am not in the range of mobile network (or just want to save batteries a bit). Accuracy might be important too. Could you please show me the results you get from gps test application ( https play google com/store/apps/details?id=com.chartcross.gpstest&hl=en ) ? How many satellites you can lock (of course without mobile net/wifi) ? I would really appreciate it !
This is just gps, no data. This location is a shop near my house. Ayer tawar, perak, malaysia.

It looks nice!
I had doubts because in case of my Tablet S the gps is useless (even with data connection). Your small devil however seems to be performing pretty well. Thank you!
Also, its best to activate gps lock under clear sky, preferably on a clear sunny day, not under the tree. Maybe you should try with your tablet first. Dont forget, use pimp my rom to set your gps.conf to your current country.

What do you mean by "gps lock" ? In case of a sony tablet the gps works but it takes ages to lock satellites (when the sky is clean, otherwise its impossible) and its enough to get in between the buildings to lose the connection. In the car for example it does not work at all. It is funny since the galaxy ace (some budget phone from samsung) of my wife never had these problems! It locks immediately and works like a charm even if I am travelling by car through the city and the sky is completely covered by the clouds.

Is it possible to edit gps.conf wihout root? And what you can tweak in this configuration file?
It means try to get as many satellite as you can before you start moving. You should get gps lock in less than 30sec for tipo (gps only mode). Sorry, cant access it without root. The file provides better gps locking at a certain area (my gps.conf is set for malaysia). Using pimp my rom, I just pick in what country im using gps right now, and restart the phone. You can also try it on your tablet s if it fix your slow gps issue.

OK then the general conclusion is - even if it does not work out of a box I should be able to make it work. As for rooting my tablet - I am afraid I would brick it. On the other hand, I won't hesitate to play hard with Tipo
Tipo should be easier to root, even if you bought a v27. This new version is much more stable.

I don't know which version I will get. So far I found that in my place the cheapest is "special edition - billabong"... whatever it means Anyway I will buy this one and if GPS doesn't work I will blame you. Just kidding
A little offtopic here - people say the batteries are pretty good in tipo. What is your experience?
Battery kinda ok if youre not updating fb every 30mins So far,if im always on 2g data, I can get all day usage (from 9am 100% to 12am 20%). 3g kinda 0% here (im in rural area). Not touching any games though. Wifi all day + browsing will get you around 7h max. I guess its nice sony gave us 1500mah than 1200mah in galaxy y.

Not so impressive but I cant expect more from smartphone I guess. I noticed you always answer using tipo. How much time it took you to get used to such a tiny keyboard?

A week of messing around inside stock keyboard app and I found it. Alphanumeric mode. Much better than the cramped qwerty mode which im used to in my old nokia 6680. I dont know if there is another under RM500 phone with bigger than 1500mah battery than can last more than 2 days (high usage), not even the big galaxy s3.

Good luck!
Hey, New here.
I just got an OTA for 5.0.2 and still haven't updated. I switched to xperia Z3 after having a Nexus 5 because the lollipop update really messed it up. (slows down my phone, GPS had problems, battery, reception, Static noise when plugging AUX and USB at the same time etc...)
So my question is - is the lollipop update works fine with the Z3? I don't want to risk updating it if it's going to bring a swarm of bugs and problems to the phone since I am really loving the 4.4 on the Xperia.
Would love to hear you guys input on this update
I guess you find some threads about Lollipop ? experience in the General section. Basically nothing much to complain.

I'm using Note4 and Z3, both devices are on Lolipop and I'm more than satisfied.
Especially on Sony ...its working fantastic..
i've bought sony xperia z5 without warranty, it have SOV32 at the back. when im checking the bootloader availability, it said as no. how to change it to yes, using latest(2017-2018) steps.
when im connecting the device to my car, it can connected but doesn't give any sound.. the playlist is moving but the sound doesn't come out. i've tried maximize the phone volume but nothing happen. how to fix this bluetooth problem. (tested with using other phone and it work perfectly fine, except my Xperia Z5)
anyway, im using Xperia Z5 (E6653) running on Nougat 7.1.1..
