Where can I get a replacement USB port for the Xperia Tablet Z1

Where would I get a replacement USB port component for my Tablet Z - I am OK replacing it myself as I've already stripped the unit down and replaced a broken screen. I looked at the existing part and it doesn't look repairable - looks like the connector "tongue" has come away from the circuit board.
Google hasn't thrown up any good leads. Do Sony sell these parts?
TIA
Mike

Why don't you guys make so that the Xperia tablet Z

Why don't you guys make so that the Xperia tablet Z can connect with the PS4 the same way as Vita does, you know being able to stream video and audio directly to the tablet and being able to play the game straight from the tablet, (i know that the Vita advertisement is just to boost sales, but i already have a controler, let me put it for good use). microsoft have mentioned their "glass" app that lets you stream games directly to the tablet, but what if sony could do it as well but specific to the Xperia tablet z..(later on maybe for other android phones.)

Thank you for your feedback! I will pass this on internally.

What's the latest firmware version for the Xperia Tablet Z?

What's the latest firmware version for the Xperia Tablet Z?
According to the Swedish and British Sony website, the latest version for the Xperia Tablet Z is 10.1.1.A.1.253 released on 17th of May.
But this is the latest version for the Xperia Z (phone) not the tablet Z... Or am I wrong?
It's a bit confusing, when the manufacturer cannot keep track of the phone and tablet...
Solved!

Depends on if you have the WiF version or the LTE version. For LTE the latest is 10.1.1.A.1.253 and for WiFi it's 10.1.C.0.344.

Downgrade xperia tablet s from jellybean 4.1.1 to ICS

Hi... I just bought Xperia tablet S. After that I update it to Jellybean.
I realize that the ICS is much smoother than JB (but I like the camera change).
Is there any ways I can change back to ICS?

Hi mohdikram,
There may be other methods to do it but the most common is to get the firmware and flash it though there are risks in doing so. Here's a video link that you may use as a reference - Jellybean to ICS. Hope it helps.

Did the August OS update to 4.2.2 solve the Xperia Tablet Z Wifi disconnect problem?

we are wanting to purchase 2 Experia Tablet Z's to replace our iPads that we were ever so happy to dump and are looking for new Android tablets but need to know that the OS update cured the known WiFi disconnect issue since we use WiFi in our home for our tablets and smart phones (everything else is hardwired) AND also like to tether our tablets to our smart phones when away from home.
Opinions appreciated — thanks

Play store not installed on z2 tablet purchased from Sony China.

Purchased Xperia Z2 tablet in china and there's no play store installed. Unable to return it. Tablet is of little use to me without play store. I would appreciate any help getting play store installed.

The China version has a restriction when it comes to Google and the Play store - You could if you know the exact model version download and manually flash another countries firmware to aquire these features

My Experience with Sony Xperia Tablet S (so far)

For the Sony Xperia Tablet S, the bootloader is still locked, so getting an official install of Android is still impossible. I've decided to root it and clean it up as much as possible. At this point, It's either that or take it skeet shooting.
After rooting the tablet, I have managed to clean some of the junkware up manually. It's not the solution to the problem (only Sony or a judge can right their wrong), but getting rid of this junk seemed to help to some extent. Here is a list of all the apks that I manually deleted (season to taste).
Obvious disclaimer, here: If you brick your device, it's your fault and not mine. One thing that you COULD do though, is encourage Sony to up their morals and do the right thing by giving us the capability of unlocking our bootloaders. Selling people locked down hardware without the ability to unlock it is like selling someone a house and then telling them after the fact that they cannot clean the junk out of it, or modify it, or paint it, or fix the plumming, or replace the carpet, or even use the front door... I think you get the idea. It's a morally corrupt thing to do, IMO, and I think that Sony should be ashamed of themselves for locking us out of our own property.
I'm not nearly finished cleaning the tablet up yet (I'm going to take a break and get some reading in, but will focus on the system files next). At a minimum, this list can serve as a big chunk of useless fat that people can lipo out of their tablets if they so desire.

There are probably a few files that I removed and did not mention, but there won't be many. I didin't actually start keeping a log of the removals until later in the game, although I recorded as much as I could from my terminal buffer to make the list as complete as possible.
Obviously, if you're going to delete files, I strongly suggest that you keep a log AND make sure you have multiple types of backups (and backups to those backups). I actually had to rely on my backups on multiple occasions while coming up with this list. Again (as in "service not rendered"), we need our bootloaders unlocked so we can actually own the hardware that we have purchased.
Launcher and keyboard:
======================
The launcher and keyboard that come with the Xperia Tab S ******. On my system, I have replaced them both with the Nova Launcher and the Hacker's Keyboard, resulting in much (much, Much) better functionality and useability! And once those defaults were set, I removed the launcher and keyboard that came with the tablet as well.
Boot Animation:
===============
As far as the boot animation is concerned, that's easily changed as well. Nothing new here (Google it):
# find -type f -name bootanimation.zip -exec ls {} \; -exec ls -la {} \;
./system/media/bootanimation.zip
-rw-r--r-- root     root       242855 2013-05-19 02:44 bootanimation.zip
Something I need to figure out for my next steps:
=================================================
Can I simply build a stock Android system, take stock apks from that build and put it on the Xperia (replace) without any issues?
Can I swap them out whole-sale, or are there any caveats in regards to how far can I go with that?
Any advice of how to further improve this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

These are the issues as I see it:
The Software:
Initially, when I complained about not being able to remove unwanted software, this is what I got:
* "You can disable it in the settings and you won't see the icons."
* "You can root the device and remove the unwanted software, but if you do, then we won't honor the warranty"
We'll look at the logic of these, but first, let's inject a simple analogy -- something I think most people will be able to relate to with ease. Let's say that I buy a house, and I like the house a lot, but there is a toilet in the middle of the living room (I like social stuff that much ). So after I purchase the house, I find out that I cannot remove the toilet in the living room because I don't have the "special tools" to do it. In addition, this toilet has a bit of a valve problem, and it runs constantly.
The first supposed solution was "You can disable it in the settings and you won't see the icons." That's like saying "throw a sheet over it." In this case, disabling it doesn't even mean turning off the water. There's still pipework being used, because cache supporting those apps still keep coming back. So the toilet keeps running, and it gets to the point that it annoys the ****** out of me. Throwing a sheet over the toilet does not fix the problem, nor does it remove the offense from my living room. Not only is this NOT a solution, it's a horrible idea!
The second supposed solution was "You can root the device and remove the offending software, but if you do, then we won't honor the warranty." I'm not big on warranties, and over the years I've discovered that most companies give me so much hassle and additional cost over getting something replaced or repaired, that I'm better off getting another product (usually from another vendor). I personally wouldn't expect Sony to be any different in that regard. That said, I don't care about warranties. Furthermore I don't expect Sony to truly honor a warranty any more than I would expect a previous owner of my house to fix my leaking roof.
In my house, I don't want toilets in my living room. I realize that there may be a lot of people out there who might find this to be of great use and value, but for me, it is offensive just knowing that it is there. More offensive to me, is that I'm told I can not (or even "should not") remove it. But even worse is, "throw a sheet over it." To me, that's right up there with "We don't care so shut up."
So, left with no other choice, I rooted the tablet and took the (most obvious) toilets out of the places where I felt that they did not belong. I don't expect help or tech support from Sony, either and if "throw a sheet over it" is any indication of the help that I might get, then trust me when I say that I don't WANT any help from them.
But that's not even the crux of my frustrations with this whole thing. It's just a side-show.
The Hardware:
Lets get something straight - When I buy a piece of property (whether it be a computer, a motor vehicle or a house), I expect to be able to enter that property in any way that suits me (and the way by which entry was intended is no exception by anyone's reasonable expectation). Furthermore, if that piece of property has the ability to be locked, I fully expect to have the relevant keys, so that I might lock and unlock it on my own and at my own discretion.
With this tablet that I have bought, and therefore I own, I expect to be able to use the front door (the boot loader). It is my property, I hold the bill of sale (the "deed"), and I cannot see how Sony has any moral, ethical, or legal standing to withhold those keys from me, thereby preventing me from entering my own property in a forthright manner.
So far, I've read the following excuses on this forum:
"We do it for your security"
As in "Sony is my savior?" Hmm. Does this mean that if a Sony customer has an unrooted and locked-by-Sony Xperia Tablet S that gets hacked, and their bank account goes dry and their identity is stolen as a result, that Sony will take the responsibility for it, reimburse that customer, and pay any costs to get that persons identity cleared? Of course not. The term "Responsibility" is a two-edged sword, and it cuts both ways. As such, this excuse of taking responsibility of my security reads more like this: "For your security, we will control your house, but if you get compromised, you're stuck holding the bag, because we're not responsible." If that doesn't defy logic, then I don't know what does! This isn't an excuse for security. Instead, it's a lame excuse for control, which provides no safety net. I personally don't want someone who will not be responsible, taking on the role of being responsible for my security. I would much rather be responsible for my own security, thank you very much.
CAVEAT: I do understand that there are people out there who have no concept of security whatsoever and who do really dumb things, so the use of a snake-oil security solution can be beneficial (perhaps to the extent that it will "keep the honest people honest"), but my point is that it's still snake-oil, and it's benefits are far too limited for my taste.
So no, I don't want Sony's snake-oil security solution. I want what is rightfully mine. I want to hold the keys to the device that I have purchased. I want the ability to lock and unlock my own front door at my own discretion, and if possible I want to change the key set so that once I take control of my own device, Sony can't unlock that door while I'm not home. (there's an interesting idea, eh? ).
The other reason I've now heard is that "We do it to protect our proprietary software"
I would love to have a link or a scan of any document from Sony that actually states this.
If that is truly their position, then my response would then be, "Does this mean you do it so that I can't get rid of those toilets in my living room? I won't want them in my living room, I don't want them in my bedroom, I don't want them in my kitchen, on my front porch, or in my den. I don't want your software in my house, and being that this is MY house (as in "I hold the deed"), I'm ordering you not only to get the ****** out, but give me MY keys to MY front door! This house is under renovation!
On getting a refund:
If getting a refund is what Zero wanted, then congratulations to him. If a refund is what you want, then good luck. Do you think Sony will reimburse you for the time you've wasted with it as well? Just a thought.
I'm personally not interested in a refund. I simply want what is rightfully mine.
In fact, if this doesn't get resolved (or the tablet bricks in the process) maybe I'll take it skeet shooting and upload the video. It will at least be entertaining, and the upside to it would be that it couldn't be refurbished and imposed on yet another vict... er... I mean customer.
Final thoughts:
In the end, if Sony will not honor their sales by actually relinquishing the ownership of the hardware that they sell to the person holding the bill of sale, then at the very LEAST, they should start placing on their products warnings labels for future potential customers, enabling them to understand what they are actually buying, and what they are actually NOT buying -- Some type of "Brooklyn-Bridge" or "Bully" Buyer-beware warning should suffice, I think. If they do not do this, then I can definitely foresee customers being forced to go before a judge in order to actually take ownership of the property that they have purchased -- and that CAN'T be good for business. (Just sayin')

How can i use the Xperia Z tablet as an ereader

I recently puchased an Xperia Z tablet. I downloaded the Reader by Sony app, but can only access the books I purchased from the Sony store. How can I get access to my other previously purchased books with the Reader by Sony app?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Have you tried checking the books that you have purchased in your account in the library and check all - they should all be in ePub format rather than the old BBeB format - and re-download any that are missing. If you have any issues re-downloading or there are any other issues with your account contact the Reader store's customer service.

Sony bridge for mac RESTORE phone not working after exchange xperia from Sony

Hi everyone,I have been sent an exchange unit from Sony to replace my previous xperia zThis phone has an older imei number than mine and wont allow me to restore using the Sony Bridge for Mac softwareIs this because of the different imei number???i have lots of notes, messages stored in a previous backup using the Sony bridge for mac softwareWhich i need to retrieve onto the "second hand Marked and scratched exchange unit" which Sony have sent me DOES anyone have a sollution to this please Thanks in advance... Steve

Hi Echo_steve Unfortunately, as I expected, you're not able to restore to another phone. However, there is one possible solution, but there is no guarantee it will work and it might mess things upp so you'll have to do it on your own risk. I'm afraid that's the best I can do for now. Here's how to work around the restore block. Again, use this with caution as there's no guarantee it will work. Also make sure Bridge isn't running when you attempt this:- Do a backup of the new phone
- goto ~/Library/Application Support/Sony Ericsson Bridge for Mac/
- Go to the "Backups" folder and find the backup sets
- Try to locate the old backup folder and rename it to the name of the new backup.This can be quite tricky, as the folders are named things like "CB5A1JYXNQ". But basically, if the backup set of the old phone is named "ABCDEF01" and the backup set of the new phone is "ABCDEF02", it should be enough to remove (or rename) the new backup set and rename the old one to "ABCDEF02".
Again, I'm sorry there's no easy fix. Please let me know if it works for you. Best Regards, David
