Is it out?
Is Xperia NEO V is out?
Yes NEO V is available(India) & it is a splendid phone
Sent from my MT11i using XDA App
Only in India?
So Xperia neo V is released only in India? (Like pre-order or something)
Or it's completly out?
I can't find anything about it, only my local SE website shows that it's out (NEW)
I can't find any reviews/first impressions and/or where to buy it...
Thanks and sorry for my bad English

For me its 3G all day, music full power and browsing, surfing, etc
And 10h is best what i can with 1500mh battery.

Well im talking about new launching xperia mini & mini pro NOT xperia x10 mini & mini pro
Guys i have a suggestion..... Let me know your views.
Well i think this way,
Since SE is not planning on giving any upgrade to xperia x10 mini & mini pro...But is going to give it to the new xperia mini & mini pro which SE is launching.....
I think we should all convince SE to give out an offer for existing xperia x10 mini & mini pro users to exchange their xperia x10 mini & mini pro for new xperia mini & mini pro (which they are lauching or i guess launched in some places) @ a minimal cost say between 20% - 50% of the new launching xperia mini & mini pro or whatever we all agree on???
Cant we trying doing this....?
XDA has lot of members & i think wid all this no. of members we can atleast try???
There's already rumours about the 1st gen mini & mini pro getting 2.3.
The newest source (Vodafone Australia Blog) has said they could be working on it within 6 weeks or less. So things are certinly looking good for those who have the older xperia range.
This is recived 2 weeks after it was announced that the x10 would get an update to 2.3 due to demand.

Odd, why would a carrier just drop a whole range of phones like that?
and oh yes, i heard it from vodafone staff too when i first bought my MP. but i didn't buy it too long after the 2.1 update, so i wasn't too fussed about the software, the design was what sold this phone to me
and then... i found you guys and all was good!
but now (mini pro) we have the full 5MP camera (not sure if the mini has it yet) in our custom roms im not sure that there is a point to getting it as on the x10 they didnt even update the kernel so i doubt there woould be any benefits unless they enabled multi touch further than we have from slades driver (e.g 3 point or the full 7)
Already have it.
Yeah to have the official one would be nice.
it's an aquired taste, some people don't want all the extra in the roms like Cyanogenmod. and just want the official upgrade

Hi all , I am saran from India ,
I joined this forum long back and have been studying things about android there , but this is my first post , Its a real honour to be a part of XDA ,
I would like to thank every genius who knows about android for sharing their knowledge here so that guys like me get to know something atleast , much delighted really ,
Now to my question ,
I have a HTC Wildfire , its my first android phone . But today I bought a new Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo . I bought it through a SE outlet in southern part of India . In EBay india they bring up a deal every day at 11 A.M . Today's deal was a SE Neo V for like 16000 INR, He called me and said they had the offer put in E-Bay and I was like WTF coz I bought this fone for 17500 INR ,
Wen I went through the description of the fone it had only 5 MP Camera but mine is 8 MP . Then I got a sign of relief . But again there was some feature like 3d Sweep panorama , but that is missing in my phone . I tried to find out wer it is like for the past 6 hours , but still no Luck ,
So out of hope I make this post here , Can anyone help me find it or my fone doesnt have it at all is it
Thanks ,
Saran
P.S. I don't know wer to post , If the mods or any admin panel gonna remove the post , please notify me through mail before doing it and please advice me wer to address my query .
The 3D sweep panorama for the Xperia Neo, will be available in the current update, it might be that it's not available yet in India. Just wait a few weeks, and you will be able to update and get the 3D sweep panorama function.
Check out settings > about phone
You'll probably have android version 2.3.3, the update makes it 2.3.4.
If you don't won't to wait, you can update via XDA.
---------- Post added at 08:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:17 PM ----------
To update via XDA, not the official Sony Ericsson update, but still stock ROM, follow this guide, till step 4.
Hi,
Thanks for the reply , My Phone says 2.3.3 , What you are trying to say is wen it is updated to 2.3.4 only I can use the feature is it ??
You can try to install it on 2.3.3, but I doubt whether it works.
I'll upload it within 10 minutes or so, stay tuned.

got it from here
Hi, I Installed it , but now the camera itself doesn't open, When I select Camera it becomes a black screen , then I have to click home button and come back, Any Idea :-o
You will have to wait,
I rooted my neo and even installed that apk(2.3.4) into rom itself, but my previous apk got deleted and i'm forced to use LG camera as alternate..
Please someone help by giving me a camera apk for 2.3.3 FW 4.0.A.368
Sent from my MT15i using XDA App
i try it on my current 2.3.3 but didn't work. not sure why. currently im using Doom kernel and i rooted my phone with Wotan Server.
anyone can help?
It wont work on 2.3.3 coz of changes in framework...
Open the development section and checkout instructions to install 2.3.4....
Also
Dont hesitate to unlock the bootloader coz warranty from se is just an "LOL"(very bad customer service)
Sent from my MT15i using XDA App
So if i flash it with Cyanogenmod 7.1, will the sweep panaroma feature still be available?
you should try Wotan server
first register in the website then download the program and after identifying the phone select advanced ... our device is called mt15i and choose 2.3.4
this method doesn't need root or opening boot loader.
i have successfully updated my phone to 2.3.4 then downgraded to 2.3.3
but never ever downgrade to 2.3.2 or you will loose your phone.
if you face any problem please contact me.
Hi. I'm from the Philippines, and I am a Xperia Neo V user.
As for your concern, Xperia Neo and Neo V are both 2011 smartphones introduced by Sony Ericsson, Xperia Neo V or MT11i is the successor of Xperia Neo. Now, the difference between these two smartphones is that first, Xperia Neo has an 8 Megapixel Camera compare to Xperia Neo V with just a 5 Megapixel Camera, the reason for this is that the company has an issue with the megapixel market (which I read mostly on some blogs). Second, as for their android OS version, I believe that these two has the same 2.3.4 (Gingerbread) version, I dont know with your country why your phone has only 2.3.3, but you can update it though. Third, Xperia Neo V is powered by Mobile Bravia Reality Display bringing its pictures and videos to a more level when it comes to quality. Neo V is also the first smartphone to have a facebook inside Xperia upgrade benefit. Fourth, Xperia Neo V is the only one to have a feature of 3d Sweep Panorama, in which the Xperia Neo has not.
To top all this, both of them are amazing phones to have.
I also read it on some news that Sony Ericsson will release an update so that the 2011 smartphones will have the 3d Sweep Panorama feature. So just update yourself to this updates. And by the way, android will release its OS version 4 (Ice Cream Sandwich) Update this March-April. Its an update that most android phone users are looking forward to..
Thank You.. ^_^

No offense, but this thread is three months old, by which time the threadstarter would most probably have received the said update. Anyway, to some corrections: the Neo is not without the Bravia Engine, as you may have meant. Also, the Facebook inside Xperia has been available to the 2011 Xperia phones since around July last year, around three months before the Neo V was launched. And yeah, all it takes is a simple update via PC Companion to get the 3D Sweep Panorama to the Neo (2.3.4 update). Again, no offense meant in my post, I just want to help clear out the facts.
Have a nice evening, buddy.
well i m just dying to get my hands on my Neo.. waiting for the shipment .....................
i just want to ask one thing..!! why people dont use PCC or SEUS for the updates.. !! and rely on Wotan or Flashtool !!
Xperia neo 2.3.3
its work for me thanks!:good:
hi every one ,
i want to buy anew smart phone and im really confused and compare between neo v and galaxy sl generally which phone is better i love neo v but the internal memory worrid me if iwant to setup alot of programes . idont care about playing games on the phone .is this phone good enough to buy
thanks alot please help me i will buy one of them next week waiting for your replay
Wrong place to ask really. 99% of the folk on here have a Neo. Or Neo V. So they will be biased.
Suggest you use a more general area so the Samsung users can contribute.
Neither phone has been a particularly stellar seller, and the Xperia U in the same price bracket is due out in 6 weeks.
In any case, you will get such a wide variety of highly subjective opinions that you will not gain anything that will help you.
Make your own mind up based on what you need...

Galaxy SL internal memory for programms has shared only 480Mb, not so far more as 320Mb on Xperia neoV, also mos programs can be mooved to SD card.
Galaxy SL is 1 year old model an therefore Samsung stop to provide new firmware updates. Xperia neoV in nex month wil receives new firmware update - Android 4.0
galaxy sl have bigger screen and larger internal memory .
Neo V have HDMI , camera flash .
you might wan to wait for xperia P . It will probably bout neo V price + $50 when launch .
just wait for Xperia U n P .. better than the two.

Agree,still Xperia P is in the same prize bracket as Neo V ?
No the U is. The P is almost the same price as the S (at launch) - I mentioned this very fact in my reply earlier, please do read...

I don't think there are much users who can comment on stuff like camera quality this soon about Xperia P and U.Apart from these pages about Xperia P and U we don't know much about them.Tho here's one suggestion,don't go for Xperia U due to ram being only 512mb,for multitasking more ram is always better.
LenAsh,didn't saw that mate,apart from looks and dual core processor I don't think much is different in Neo V and U,U is more like a replacement for Neo V I think.
No problem - I think you are spot-on! The U will likely be the "new" Neo V. Spec wise and price wise. Screen a little smaller, IIRC.
I'm probably going for the P. I have had the Neo for some time now and can honestly say it is the most usable and reliable mobile device I have owned. It's like an old friend now. Been all over the world with it and never a twitch. I also like SE's open attitude to free development.
I love SE and I love my X Neo
of-course neo v-----> going to update to ics officially

Hello buddy, the problem of overheating is real but it does not affect the performance of the device (you do not know whether it affects the useful life) is an awesome machine ran all the games I tested until now, hd and wheel games in thd also among other applications. I recommend it because the cost benefit is one of the best!
OH COME ON WHAT OVERHEATING?
I have been playing Shadowgun and the phone is cool.
Also overheating is a problem with EVERY phone.
My phone only overheats when i use onlive which streams 720p video which means it uses wifi/gpu to render the video and i olso play which means extra cpu usage. With less words it uses mobile device TO THE MAX!
Well anyway dont buy xperia neo GO for samsung galaxy s.
It is faster by about 400mhz and costs around 20$ more
Which galaxy s do you mean?
There are so many models out from that phone, so type the phone number to clear it out. I mean like galaxy i9003 for example.

Hello! Pardon me if this post not belongs in this forum. But it will be easier for me to decide which device I should buy. So if possible then help me to buy a perfect device according to my habit.
1. Well, first of all I'm not a heavy user who will use custom rom or any other advanced things.
2. Pure android doesn't matter much to me or constant update also.
3. In my country, at Bangladesh Z1 is only 50 US dollar more that Nexus 5.
4. It is rainy season also in my country. So Z1 is better I think.
5. Only problem is I use Sony Xperia Go now. So UI is quite a bit similar as my Xperia Go running 4.1.2.
So suggest me a phone WHICH HAS LESS BUG if possible Thanks in advance mates
Is this possible?
