Xperia TX is playstation certified, does that mean I can play games downloaded from Playstation Network? How do I do that? needs instructions.
also u know the right button of the 3 main buttons, From Left ; Back, Home and (__) is that the Small app buttons? I tried but I cannot download any additional small apps on the play store. are there just not any online the Play store?
I would also like to customize the pull down menu if possible, anyone can help me with that?
Yes, that's where the small apps are. Apps need to be made specially with the 'small apps' codes to be compatible with the menu here. There are apps out there that have a widowed functionality but none that I know which are compatible with the Sony small apps bit, except the original 4 apps that are pre-installed (calc, timer, notes and recorder).
I use
Mobo Player which can be used in a window which floats over other apps.

@alexwu98

@
Ricky D yes, I use it too and was surprised to see it floating around my home screen, able to max and minimize the screen and move it around. real nice.

On the battery:
My battery gets down to about 20-30% when I get home if I've been out for the day. I always have the screen on 100% and usually get a dozen emails, half a dozen texts, 30 mins of music wired through the car stereo, 30 mins browsing and 30-45 mins casual game playing in an 8 hour 'day out'. That's without any charging in my car. WiFi on all the time, BT off.
To be honest I'm at home most days (self employed web developer perk) and at my desk I have a charger so most days I don't feel a pinch on the battery.
I found if I turn the brightness down to 20-30% (e.g. when I play a few games in bed if I can't sleep) it can play over an hour and a half non-stop before getting to 50%.
The screen is by far the biggest drain and if you can cope with a reduced brightness for most of the time then it's worth it for the trade off.
To answer your question, my first use (from the 50% factory charged + 30 mins charging at home) didn't last me long at all. A couple of hours max. I was abusing it in the first couple hours though. Rooted it, loaded Google apps, bootlooped, reflashed, root again, Google Apps again, loads of app restoring and update downloading and just playing

Yeah, it's not nicest feeling to see your phone boot loop less than an hour after unboxing, but it's ok now

@Ricky D thanks, H+=4G, got it.
@newnagasaki I bought mine on eBay.com. Did you want an Xperia T (LT30p) or Xperia TX (LT29i)?
I myself got an LT29i (the one with the replaceable battery).
this is the one I bought,
White Xperia TX LT29i. . best deal i found so far. but the price fluctuated on some days. I bought mine @ 599 USD, but it can jump to 615 or 639 USD. they also have a
black one. seller is from Texas, USA.
also have a
Xperia T (LT30p) but more pricey @ 649 USD.
btw, TX is HK version, T is most likely UK version. I had ask the seller before.
best ones I found on ebay.com hope this will help you.

Oh, so you have both T and TX. Just because I'm curious, but why get both phones?
Also how are the speeds on Tmobile? I also have Tmobile and plan on using that with my phone once I purchase one.
Right now I found an online retailer located in the USA who has the TX in stock for $571, thinking about purchainsg it or waiting until I get paid next week. Trying to save to move out next year.

@newnagasaki I don't have the Xperia T, what I meant is that the seller I bought my Xperia TX from also sells an Xperia T. And with T-Mobile USA, it's have 3G and 4G bands unlike the other Xperia phones. H+ is HSPA+, which is T-Mobile USA's 4G, I learnt it from
Ricky D Now once you got the phone you will need to get the Internet and MMS settings from your provider (T-Mobile USA). mine was automatically downloaded, maybe yours would, too. but if not, Go to
Settings -> Xperia -> Internet Settings and download the settings for your Internet and MMS to work via T-Mobile.
If your like me and the MMS didn't really work, I couldn't get a normal sized picture message, but all in default size (really small). You can fix this by going to
Settings -> under Wireless & Networks, goto
More... -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names. from here, click on the "Menu" buttons which is a looks like
":" but with
3 dots. -> New APN and add this to the following:
Name: T-Mobile US
APN: wap.voicestream.com
Proxy: (leave this blank)
Port: (leave this blank)
Username: (leave this blank)
Password: (leave this blank)
Server: (leave this blank)
MMSC: http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms
MMS Proxy: (leave this blank)
MMS Port: (leave this blank)
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
APN Type: (leave this blank)
I did this and now it working fine, Internet, MMS it's all great.

Got mine too now.
And usual, there is things to like and things to dislike.
For example, call quality is fantastic, battery life so far is lousy.
Screen a little too dim but otherwise very, very good (I mostly wanted it to comfortably read PDFs on it without having to buy a tablet and that really is a blast to read texts on the T).
Apps IMO are still worse in comparison to IOS, but thatīs not the Tīs fault.
But I have tried many Androids and now Im for the first time willing to give this one a chance, so this clearly speaks for the T!
Any idea to where to get good Android Apps. I seem to bit helpless given the somewhat chaotic google play....
