Sony releases Xperia S binaries for Google AOSP project.

Curious.How exactly does this experiment help the end user?

In short term nothing. In long term end users may get prolonged SW support for their devices by Google.

hey guys..

i decided to get the XS and wait for the 2H 2013 flagships before really upgrading.. just some quick clarifications.

1) the yellow dot, yellow tint issue has been resolved?

2) the latest firmware is: 6.1.A.2.45 ?

Thanks!

Thanks Felimente.

Really excited to get my XS and explore all the new features as well as finally start playing with on(X) and other things I"ve been waiting to mess with since my X10 is a lagging drag these days (due to water damage).


Do you guys use any screen protectors or body protection? just curious. I was planning on just picking up a screen protector because I know that anti-shatter sheet is a huge finger print and oil magnet! just trying to figure out which one i want before I order it..

Any recommendations?

I use the Copter screen protector on my XS it is really good and no fingerprint magnet.
I also used to use a body protector by CASTE MATE but I have stopped using it since it leaves marks on the XS body (happened to 2 of my XS so no more)!

I tried it with another XS and it worked immediately. Quite cool, actually.

I was open NFC via Quick Settings widget, to send and receive with Beam function.

just got my Xperia S!

It looks gorgeous and feels so different in the hand relative to my X10.

Sadly, it did NOT come with any NFC tags and no screen protector either! I thought these were standard in box accessories?


EDIT: Just realized the "shatter proof sheet" is already applied to the screen, which is nice. but if its anything like the X10's it's gonna be a finger print/oil magnet.. so may look into another type of screen protector. Anybody in the US know where to get NFC tags for cheap? $17 for 4 tags seems kinda steep for me...(these are the xperia tags btw). Would the samsung tags work fine? They're much cheaper at just $10 for 5 tags!

Also, i noticed the back of the phone has a slight texture to it and it's not glossy, which is nice. My question is, how durable is it? Does it scratch up easy? get worn and develop a "smooth" spot where the curved part touches surfaces the most? Just curious for those of you who have had it for awhile and don't use a full body case.

Timescape and Widget - is there a way to set the update intervals? I can't find it for the life of me... :/

You should contact the retailer from where you purchased it! Nfc tags and an extra screen protector should be there in the box.

Also I am not sure about the nfc tags from other manufacturers, but I think they should be compatible as nfc was after all created by sony, nokia and philips.

Edit:
found this on xda

Xperia SmartTags - only compatible with Xperia SmartTags or blank tags written to mimic them
