Hi guys, i have just got my Xperia TX international version, so if anyone has any questions on any aspect of an Xperia TX, i can try to answer them:)
Alexwu98,
Forgive the other members manners as their just jumping in to help you immediately. Welcome to the ESATO forums! Stick around for a while and enjoy. Share & take information however you like. Post reviews etc ... even laugh at the squabbling we all do as its nothing personal.
Cheers.
Guys,
What Countries will get the Xperia TX ? I have no clear confirmation of this, and Sony's Canadian site - like SE's before it is never an accurate indication.
Hey Hardened:)
Thanks for the warm welcome, ive been trying to answer some questions that i was asked but unfortunately as im a newbie, im limited to 3 posts a day only so i've just been answering what i can via private messages:). And im not at all mindful of people asking as we are all here to try help each other and share things haha.
oh and from what i know so far, the current countries that TX is now definitely available are Taiwan, China,HK, most asian countries, Germany, Spain? |

@alexwu98
Welcome to the forums dude
@Hardened + @alexwu98
In Middle East and North Africa the TX will be available in all countries except Morroco which will get the T, along with South Africa... So I'll be getting the TX also when it arrives
When it arrives

Just wondering what the owner's of TX got for Quadrant benchmarks? Mine seems to be lower than the claimed "5774" claimed by GSMarena and others before launch...Did Sony make any adjustments that lowered the score somehow..?
Nenamark 2 was maxed out as expected though

@alexwu98
My TX got 4848 in quadrant and 60.1 in nenamark.
Maybe there's some configuration that will help maximise the performance, but I don't really care for benchmarks anyway.
..and please excuse me forgetting my manners, welcome to esato!

@alexwu98,
Very nice, I'm still searching for white TX hands-on pics
While buying your pinky XT, did you find any White ?

just a question. Since the Xperia GX sold in Japan is the same as the Xperia TX, I'm assuming all accessories are compatible, yes?
btw, I found a Intl version of the TX selling right here in USA, hopefully I can get it soon. I'm liking the White one over the Black.
and is the Xperia TX dock on sale anywhere? can't seem to find it anywhere on sale, even on the Sony store? when will it release, or maybe it already is and I just can't find it on ebay or amazon?
and thanks to alexwu98 for answering my question, I didn't know there was a limited post for new members and Welcome to Esato!

@Big_D,
Yeap these are just the same, except where the NFC is, Japan has their own standard called Osaifu-Keitai in exactly the same place where the NFC is... so cases might have different label only in that place ( if they have a label actually )
but everything else are the same...
but what matters is... Which website offer these accessories with worldwide shipping
If you know some.. can you lighten us
EDIT : I took a round in ebay and I found it full with different accessories from screen protectors to batteries and covers and even the MHL adapter, tripod and the lovely dock from one seller...

good to know, thanks Xajel.
on another note, I recently just ordered the Xperia TX LT29i White on eBay, sold from my region, USA. I contacted the seller and they said it could either be UK or HK version. now is there any limits on Google service on the HK? Alexwu98 inform me that the China FW does.
for future reference, if I did indeed get the phone with a FW/version I did not like, would I be able to change it outright? flashing or loading a FW, etc? is it possible and had anyone already been doing that?

@Big_D It is possible and not too difficult. I'm planning on doing mine in the next couple weeks. HK version FW shouldn't have any issues. But if it does and you don't want to flash your FW I can send you the correct Google services apks. PM me your email if you want them anyway.

@justus333, i actually enjoy it very much. I used to own an SE Arc S, and compared to the Arc S, the TX really is a measurable step up in terms of quality and aesthetics. Not to mention up to 3 times faster (the Arc S was really very slow actually). Everything in the UI was very smooth with no lags as expected with the S4 Krait Love it;-)
@Xajel, Thanks and yes actually! i had the white one for a few days and it was very stunning. In fact, the only reason why i changed to pink was because too many people were using the white TX in Taiwan. As a matter of fact, i saw 2 other people using the white TX on the same bus i was on one day . But the white one really is a stunner
@mariozlp, thanks but it actually fits my hand quite well despite been so big due to its thinness and soft-touch back
@Big D, I think the HK version should have full Google services... but even if you get a FW/ version you didn't like, yes i think you can change it. As a matter of fact, Ricky D was wanting my customization build to flash his TX from China..so i suppose it is possible to flash it. I'll try provide the build once i have a Win7 computer at hand, im travelling atm
There has also been a small update already from sony, from .303 to .307. Glad to see they are improving from yester-years poor update service |

@Big_D,
Very nice, I hope it will reach the region quickly, I jsut can't wait more...
@alexwu98,
Wow, this chilling, I had a feeling that we won't have the White as the local dealer normally only bring one color...
Regarding the speed, as the TX is 3 times faster than Arc S so I suppose it will be 4 times faster than my Arc

So far, the TX is great although one drawback is the battery life...i am getting about 23 hours with average use...hopefully the battery life will become longer after a few charge cycles
Also, i haven't seen many people posting sample pictures of the front camera..so for those who are interested in the 1.3MP camera in the front, i have attached one. In good lighting they are very nice although lacking in detail, but indoors, noise levels become quite bad...
