the Xperia T and TX has the MSM8260A chip. This is the chip that has NO LTE radio chip inside. I am guessing the AT&T Xperia T shares the same chipset as Xperia GX, which is the MSM8960 which does have the LTE capability built on the chip. have a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snapdragon_(system_on_chip) and scroll down near the end where the table of features are. So i think the best bet if you are really wanting LTE is to buy the Xperia GX, and you can unlock its secret LTE function by downloading this app https://play.google.com/store[....]lkLmx0ZV9zZXR0aW5nZm9yZ3giXQ..

My friend has done this and he confirms it works perfectly

The GX are the Japanese version only, is it not? it's also known as the LT29i Hayabusa, I'm guessing.

I found some on ebay as well, costing 200 USD more than the TX. but is it USA compatible, (T-Mobile USA) and HSPA+ capable like the T/TX, using 3G and 4G on T-Mobile USA?

I also thought most japanese phones won't work anywhere else, or did it change with the smartphones as international phones.

What sort of network and in what country are your friend? u think it would work here in USA, alexwu98 ? With everything the T/TX have and more?


EDIT: ok I check the specs posted on ebay.com, seems the GX isn't a 3G/4G T-Mobile USA capable, doesn't have the 1700/2100mhz radio bands. it' great that the GX is capable of LTE, after unlocking some secret function, but then I won't be able to use the current T-Mobile 3g/4G service I paid for.

probably my biggest concern is that I hope T-Mobile won't drop 3G and HSPA+, or it'll stranded many of it's existing customers, it's not likely, I'm assuming.

Still.... It would be cool to own the Japanese model, if it have to be branded, having NTT DoCoMo is cooler than that AT&T logo. haha. but not for 800 when I can get the unlocked, intl for 600.

Thanks anyway Alexwu98.

@Big_D

Oh sorry, i am not too familiar with how the 3G networks run in USA as i don't live there... Btw i think japanese phones can be used with other networks...at least here in Vodafone New Zealand they are able to run:). Anyway good luck to finding what you are after!

Hi RickyD



Have you got a Sony website for this? This site shows only up to 32gb

http://www.sonymobile.com/glo[....]hones/xperia-t/specifications/

I bought a card from Hong Kong and I think it has faults on it anyway, because my PC and MacBook Pro will not read it.

Hey ofiaich,

I wouldn't be too quick to blame your shiney new card. I believe the SDXC format is relatively new, and your MacBook and PC may not be compatible. I'd check the specs of the card readers you have and see they support SDXC and maybe see if this wiki article will help you with compatibility issues.

You may need a new card reader to use it with your PC/MacBook.

Incidentally, how much did you pay for the card?

Hi Ricky,

I paid £38.30 via Amazon.

I do have exFat as format options on my PC and MacBook Pro and the PC did read it and I could begin to transfer files that I know to be safe but rhe card very quickly became unreadable.

The Wiki article says Apple Mac OS X versions that support SDXC cards and exFAT are Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.5 or later including OS X Lion 10.7. I have Mountain Lion and it sees the card, and it shows how much space is free, but it will not read. Re-formatting it progress well until I saw the message ' cannot write to final block' or something like that.

Anyway, the card is winging its way back to Hong Kong. The dealer did point out that the Xperia T cannot read it.

I had hoped to use the 64GB card in my Xperia Tablet S 23GB.

I tried out the Xperia T, have to say the LED Flash is extremely poor, fancy chucking a poor flash like that on a flagship phone? disgraceful and as I said having 3 sets of buttons on the right side is extremely poor, the power button should be on the top of the phone or the volume rocker should be on the left side so that only the power button and camera button are on the right and that way the camera button could have been slightly bigger as well, some poor decisions there from Sony.

Did you understand it? I wonder what did they say about screen/colors (in short)?

I now know why the camera isn't up to scratch on this phone- there's only 1.12 microns per pixel which means not enough light is getting through, most cameraphones have at least 1.4 per pixel with a lot even having 1.7 per pixel.

The sensor is too small for a 13MP Camera hence all the noise.

When are Sony going to step up their game? they make DSLR's and Compact Camera's that are good so why can't they transfer this to their phones? They used to make great cameraphones like the C901, C905, Satio, K800i etc but I don't understand what they are playing at?

Also, why don't they use Xenon anymore? they did on C905 and Satio etc but they have ditched it.

Next year if they really wanna out sell Apple, Samsung, HTC etc then they need to bring out a great phone with say 8MO-12MP Camera, bigger sensor, better microns per pixel and a Xenon flash then they will blow the competition away.
