Sony Ericsson Xperia ray - User Reviews

  • Nice, this was also my first smartphone before i switched to the lumia 920

  • This was my first android phone before moving to the Lumia 920 which looked so big in comparison with this Xperia. Very nice small device with a sharp screen, it was very thin for the time. It got slow after updating to android 4 especially when you used the live wallpapers. Overall it was a very nice phone with the good old Sony Ericsson quality.

  • *attempts to not be /r/whooshed* funny...

  • Wow, someone gets the reference. Anyway, it might have been at the time of when the phone was released, certainly not now though.

  • better to be small but powerful, dear katerinka!

  • THE BEST SMARTPHONE I have EVER had. OK? THE best. Seriously amazing for its time, a bit small but the performance, all the options available.. phenomenal. I wish I wasnt such a stupid kid back then and didnt ruin it completely. It was such in a poor condition I gave it away for free. My fault tho, it was a strong and resistable phone. I would give anything to have it again. 10/10.

  • If you're planning on getting this phone in 2018 (for whatever reason), keep in mind it's unbearably small.

  • Can't get on to the internet?

  • Using it with android 6.0 based cyanogen OS after 6 years...

  • This evening I dropped my phone and the bottom part of the touch screen doesn't work anymore. The best phone I have ever had. It is very disappointing that all companies now sell tablets and named them a cellphone. Ridiculous!

  • dont be a fool what about nokia 3310 generations evolve, dude

  • Maybe but I still continue to use Sony Ericsson. My father was a former international telecommunications manager there, We got a free phone like every year. Just in case your unaware Ericsson was made it the 1800's.

  • You do realise the phone was designed in 2010/11. Obviously it wouldn't compete with phones this in year in terms of size & specs

  • Really great phone. Using this for about 5 years on android Gingerbread. Still amazing battery life as it was in the first day... Such type of build quality is very trivial for smartphones nowadays.

  • I have this one in black color, Love its look! small phone in hand and love Sony Ericsson ring tone. Still good battery life for phone call.

  • If you are claustrophobic, this is THE worst phone for you! The Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray is one of (if not) THE smallest Android phone.

  • im using for 5 years. still working great. excellent battery life time, normally I use near to 3days onece charge. (acording to my personal usage). but internal memory is not enough for using many new games or applications,

  • And I thought the iPhone 4S was small. ;-;

  • I was disappointed with the battery life since the first time I bought it. I still use this phone for almost 6 years and today for communication only since I cannot doing more than that. Overall this tiny phone is one of the best android phone ever!!!

  • No

  • This is very durable phone .. im still using it ... After more than 5 years ...

  • Obviously not. You may as well get a much, much newer Android phone. You can barely do ANYTHING on this phone.

  • Don't have one but intend to buy one. Is it compatible with video calling?

  • Upgraded to 4.0.4 again some months after again phone display wiil gone correct soft ware and workers not available soft ware only some people's hand only

  • Same problem my phone also some days after colour full lights appear on screen and display off .best soft ware again load same phone change ray is best smart phone

  • How to upgrade this version of android on this phone ? Thanks​ for your advice.

  • Great camera...

  • I have this phone too, after 2 years got software problem, and sometime cannot charging. Anyway, love it's design. Speaker quality not bad as it is only regular speaker.

  • Terrible battery life! Only lasted for 1.5 hours before running out!

  • Hi try a new battery and it sounds like software could be damaged you could contarct sony my phone was away 3 days when my software was damaged havent had any problems since it was sorted mine would not charge mobile kept asking me to charge with sony charger which I was doing but no problems now

  • Goodone

  • Check out Marshmallow for this 5 years old phone!

  • How to phone format sony ericson xperia

  • my xperia ray software update is not available now on new version of pc companion plzzsz fix it or suggest other way plzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

  • I would try the repair mode in the sony xperia suit

  • yes i upgreded it in 2013 and it worked perfectly

  • Compare to my redmi note 4g, i'm still using ray to capture a photo. The photo look more virgin and no fake.

  • I wonder if anyone can help me please. I am experiencing messaging problems with my Sony Ericsson Experia ray. The battery recently got drained due to a faulty charger. Since then the battery has been recharged but the phone is failing to open messages. I get alerted that I have a message but am unable to open the message. If someone could tell me what to do it would be very helpful. Thanks

  • I need help to update my phone

  • I think this is a good smartphone. I had upgrade my ray to ics 4.0.4. however its. has small internal storage, but the sd card that can up to 32gb. I installed many apps and game. I can play hd game like modern combat and huge game (2gb) like nfs most wanted smoothly, however I must close other running apps to optimize ram. I like the design, and other greatests ability of this phone.

  • the definition of value for money phone

  • hi'you must change it's LCD

  • hi i used this phone for last 4 years but now only i face a problem that if once the display off means, not able to get it back, i cant know who is calling but i attend phone and speaks.. then switch off for half an hour and ON then i get display visible.now i use my display OFF time was 30minutes. Battery drained soon but before this problem i use for one day for (call,Net,Game too) can any one give suggestion for this problem.. mail me : [email protected] (I rooted my phone to access Tamil language.)

  • Nope. It IS upgradeable.

  • Correction: it's not upgradable to Android 4.0.4, just stuck at Android 2.3.4

  • As a a new user of Xperia: This is a FONE - but, there is no easy one stroke access to the fone to dial out. We see no way of storing notes as in previous SE "notes". Any ideas? m

  • Root + Link2SD Plus to move entire applications to sdcard... Currently on mine I have: Hangouts, Maps, Gmail, Fit, OfficeSuite Pro, Photos, Slack and several more. It's not a fast phone, but it performs ok :) (great, considering that it has 4 years)

  • its great...

  • Bought this mobile way back in 2012. After using it for three years here is a small review. Pros: . Is very compact and light. . Audio output via quality headphones is fantastic . Best in class camera . Decent battery back up . Good display screen with fine legibility. Cons: . Very low memory (Both RAM & HDD) . Battery backup low for 3G use . Got heated on prolong use with 3G networks . Not good for medium gaming, would stutter even when playing Subway surfers. . Random crashes, ringtone ringing . Not many apps could be updated (Facebook, Twitter, Whatsapp, were affected) As mentioned above, I purchased this phone for the camera and music. I installed Winamp for Android and had excellent output. The backside camera was excellent in daytime shots, but had noise in low light conditions. Also I could not install more apps, because of very low memory of 420MB. Hence updating of apps was out of question. Also you cannot install new apps if you had low memory of less than 100MB, from the play store. You had to download from third party sites and install the apk. Facebook, Google Play Services apps simply drained the internal memory and RAM. 1 GHz single core scorpion processor was sluggish with new apps and upgrades (Android 4.0.4). Being not able to upgrade to 4.1 (Jelly Bean) too was disappointing. The handset used to heat and battery used to drain faster when used with 3G networks. Of late it had become too slow and very sluggish. Hence decided to upgrade my handset with a new one. Atlast!

  • i faild to download apps

  • Used for almost 4 years.best 4n for me

  • cannot update whatsapp even have 95mb free memory... any suggestion besides buy a new ones?

  • Bought 1 for my son few years ago,he like it so much,but kena virus,anyone know how to clean the virus ?

  • I bought Xperia Ray 2 years ago. It's okay but the internal storage is too small. I didn't download many apps but it keeps notice me that my internal storage is not sufficient. So, I deleted some of my music, photo, message and other else but it didn't work. Then, I reset my phone. Oh, this time works. However, soon, it noticed me that my internal storage is not sufficient again! I am going mad with this. I even didn't download any apps but updating the apps which is with the phone. This is my second phone. And it gave me a bad experience. I just regretted that I didn't choose probably when my mom took me to the shop.

  • how can I turn autoflash on after master reset autoflash is gone

  • This is a great small phone, perfect for those not on the phablet bandwagon. Slips easily into a pocket, does everything I need it to do. Tethers to my droid tablet, navigates, beautiful display, even the phone works great! Limited on-board storage for apps is only downside. A small, elegant highly functional device. Upgrade to ICS went smoothly using PC Companion.

  • xperia RAY (all xperia 2011) use the same headset as nokia standart. all xperia above 2011 use iphone standar headset, samsung and blackberry too. both look same but the inside is different

  • don't use PC companion, use Flashtool instead to flash firmware you can download latest ICS firmware manually

  • Dis That is true, according to sony website ics is the newest sw available for this phone, when I updated it with pc companion using orig usb cable after months when i'm using bluetooth my phone would just restart and it just go on that cycle. It happened to me twice, I went to service center and they set my sw back to gingerbread and told me ics is not yet available for ray. I don't get it! Why would sony release ics for ray and then technicians from their service center wud say it is not really available for ray yet. Obviously it's an issue and they should fix it!

  • What's the android version of ur xperia ray? This problem happened to my phone since I upgraded my android version from ginger bread to ics using pc companion,it is prompting me that ics is now available to ray accrding to sony website. I went to xperia repair center and they set the os to gingerbread. According to them ics is not yet available for ray and ggb is the most recent update. It looks like they are dying that the ics that was released for ray has a problem.

  • in my phone not work wi-fi and 3D camra.plz sages.

  • Mine always worked with Philips, Pioneer and AKG. Tip: as long as youre seeing 2 lines around the metal jack of the headphones, it should work. :-)

  • This happened to me last month. I repaired my phone (using PC companion) and the bluetooth capablity went back on. Hopefully it restores your wifi too (since it didn't happen to my phone before).

  • I have a problem in my xperia ray.. i cant use my bluetooth as well as my wifi.. when i open my wifi my ph0ne automaticaly shutd0wn..

  • Hi, try to look for OMTP-CTIA adapter. This is a difference in configuration of the mic and ground. Some mid to high-end headsets provide these adapters.

  • U just conncet sony softwere updater and it will show the update option. U must should have internet connection.

  • Probably not, headsets' wires act as an antenna for the FM

  • Can I use bluetooth headset for hearing music via FM on my Xperia Ray?

  • how can i upgrade it :-/

  • If you're still looking maybe consider Xperia V. Loved my little Ray but you can't get a decent phone with a similar size so you're going to have to go a little larger. V awesome so far and is currently very affordable where I'm from.

  • I had a same problem. I after software update it will works well.

  • Hi...I have a problem wit headphones jack...It wont work with any other headphones except the originally ones,which I dont have... Can someone help? What can I do?

  • use an SD card and get more storage, it will give you more space

  • hey frnd how I upgrade my Sony Ericsson Xperia ray plz give me answer.

  • helo u'freze im also using xperia st18i bt whn i switch it on it stucks on the (sony ericsson) screen n never continues to full menu so i can't use it,ppl say i must put system software. how did u put its system software?

  • This is very stylish, and so slim. my phone is upgraded into ICS. It's good for capturing photos (very clear and bright). But the only problem is it that the storage is very limited.

  • well am still using the phone right now,its smart slinky,and very stylish,but when i upgrade it to v4.o4,its started shorting down on its own,and i had to re install its system software,cos i was told the previous has been corrupted.

  • Yes 512MB RAM is very limited but the partitioning in LX 4.4.2 gave me some more room: Also moving apps to sd (if needed with Titanium Backup) helps a lot. In my case I could unlock my Ray following this procedure:

  • I love this phone but it has one very serious flaw, especially if you bought it through telus. The internal storage on this device is only about 400mb. While I had no issue with this one the phone was new, all of the updates for the preloaded apps that you cannot remove take up more space then this phone allows. This leaves no room for your applications at all. However, if you can find an unlocked version this phone is awesome! For the two years I have owned this phone I really haven't had any issues with it until more recently. It has a really great camera, screen, and it's overall size is awesome. The battery life is also really good if you control your wifi usage. Unfortunately, because of the storage issue I am looking at another phone since even my email no longer updates when on wifi networkds.

  • I use the phn from 1 year ago but when I updeted 4.0.4 one problem created power boton does not work properly and after preess 2/3 time than work.plz help me anyone.

  • I also like small phones and wondered about the same as you, as this is the result of my searches: there's a vendor on ebay selling the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, new (white or titanium colours) with a buying now price of £120. They also have auctions and their reserve price is £105, so if you write them a private message making an offer for £105 instead of the £120 they will usually accept it. I moved from the Xperia Ray to the Galaxy Nexus, some time ago. It has bigger dimensions and the screen is bigger, however it handles well in the hand (even for small hands) as it has relatively small bezels for the screen size, and it also thinner than the ray. Despite having a 5mgpx camera, it takes better pictures than the 8mpg on the Ray. Also has a 1.3 mgpx camera on the front vs 0.3 on the Ray Galaxy Nexus has a 720p screen, 16 GB storage, 1 GB RAM, Dual-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A9, GPU PowerVR SGX540 , faster 3G HSDPA, 21 Mbps, no fm radio, ndroid 4.3, low SAR EU 0.30 W/kg (head) (vs ray 1 GB (300 MB user available), 512 MB RAM, 1 GHz ScorpionGPU Adreno 205, 3G HSDPA, 7.2 Mbps, has fm radio, android 4.0, high SAR EU 0.96 W/kg (head) ) If you decide to buy it then i would recommend you buy the "Baixt Brand New High Capacity 2550mah" battery, for £4.29, has it really will extend battery life vs the original 1750mah. I use my Galaxy Nexus with no case (has fell on the floor several times and still going), just with a screen protector from clear_protector1 vendor. For me the best screen protectors, very very thin you won't notice it at all. Lg just launched the Lg G2 Mini, selling it for �350 it doesn't even have a 720p screen and all the other specs are on par with the "old" Galaxy Nexus which is now selling for £105. At this price this the Galaxy Nexus is an excellent buy! I love the phone. I would recommend it. I bought recently a Droid Mini (it's verizon branded, but it's unlocked for 2G and 3G worldwide). If you have more money to spend I paid (about £180 with import taxes included from usa for a new phone with bad esn), then the size will be very similar to the Ray. I haven't received it yet, so can't comment much, unless that its specs sheet is better than the Galaxy Nexus. Droid mini has 2gb ram, 10.5 camera back, 2mpgx front, better dual core processor and better graphics chip (same graphics as samsung s4). Also the Droid mini has the buttons off screen whereas Galaxy Nexus has on screen. Consequently the effective screen area of the Nexus is the same of Droid, 4.3" (except for pics and movies when the on screen buttons move away and it becomes the true 4.7"). I won't be able to use 4G in my country as the 4G frequencies are different but im fine with the fast 3G the Droid has. if you are really on a small budget then look into the KingSing; for the price it has excellent specs, it's a grey Chinese brand but from what I have read on my researches online, it is good quality. If you are on a big budget then consider the new sony xperia z1 compact. it has a 4.3 screen (although quite large dimensions and screen bezels as it is water proof). It sells for about £300 on ebay. I spoke of ebay as I always bought my electronics and phones there, unlocked and no contracts, for much cheaper prices than on shops. Hope this helps. Good luck

  • Go to ebay and look up: droid mini 4.3" screen, for about £120 KingSing 4.7" Dual Core Android 4.2.2, new £65.99 Samsung Galaxy Nexus 4.7" screen, new £105

  • sudenly camera sow eror plz reply how can i solve it

  • I had this phone for over 3 years now and is very satisfied with the performance and its sleek design. What amazes me is its small size and thinness. Camera is good too. But 3 years is kinda old now, and by standard it is slow and outdated. So I'm looking for a good replacement with equal size, better processor, or just better and faster. Any ideas?

  • This gorgeous phone is awesome and will always be !! Love my sexy Ray !

  • hi amjad, 1.partitioning the SD card will format the SD card contents, so back up everything before partition. most of the Xperia ray has 300 MB space but not all, partitioning your SD card and giving the 1GB to your phone is ok. dont worry about the cache. 2. reverting the firmware to GB is possible. check "www.xda-developers.com" 3. RAM and internal memory is default, RAM cannot be modified but you can delete bloatwares such as TrackID and other things but be careful before you can delete those apps, your phone must be rooted. internal memory can be upgraded, reflect on the #1 answer. correct me if i miss something peps... peace =D

  • change the battery then try it it works 100 percent correctly with out heating

I would be so thankfull to you if your good self will reply my Questions. Regards

  • I sold my lovely Ray for the sole reason. Otherwise its a fantastic phone.

  • try downloading GB or ICS ftf file from xda-developers.com and flash it via flashtool. for more info,check xperia ray forum at xda.

  • I love it, beautiful design, sharp display.. My only con is the available internal memory only 300mb, not enough if you want to install apps that can't be moved to SD card. Also, it gets hot quickly when I play games. But that's not a problem, the screen is too small anyway. I just play games on my tablet :)

  • i got the phone myself. realy like it the only problem is the update it makes it so much slower!

  • Unfortunately there is no permanent fix.... Service center advised change in display costing almost half the price of the device, implying buy a new device...I tried with the local repair guys..they tried their best, changed battery, worked on main circuitry..with no luck...However, interestingly enough the display will come back on faster,if you cool the device...try AC,fridge...call me crazy but it works like charm :)

I certainly don't have many as I had to uninstall many to get the phone to work, My fear is that it is slowly dying on me and I have to wait another year for an upgrade on my contract.I like the size and weight of the phone but sadly too little memory.

  • I had this for for a year. After a year, the lcd gone dead. I have inquired on the their store for repair since its out of warranty, repair is 9K, I bought this for 13k. Repair not worth it. All I could say, LCD on this device is not reliable enough.

  • ray

  • xperia ray is better than xperia miro... go with xperia ray its much faster

  • which phone is better??xperia ray or xperia miro??

  • wich is better xperia miro or xperia ray??

  • The camera of ray is brilliant, but the glass which covers the camera is the problem, because reflects the light in a improper way, or if it's scratched it can not focus well. besides it is made of plastic. the good news is that the glass is not a part of the camera module, so it can be remove easily. try to make photos after u remove it and you will see the diference

  • Yes

  • Try configuring your wifi router to use any channel below 11. The Xperia Ray wifi cannot support channels 11 and above.

  • It is really compact and powerful android phone. I like it very much! But first of all you need to unlock boot loader, flash new core (with VDD and recovery), install lite Android 4.0.4 (ST18i 4.1.B.0.587 "T-MOD"). Use Link2SD to extend internal memory for applications.

  • He has a led-flash,I had it a year, and the screen went dead

  • the camera of xperia ray is brilliant, but the only problem is the glass wich is over the camera. that glass is not included in the module, so you can easielly remove it and put another one or you can leave it without it. just try it and you'll see what i mean

  • It does not have LED flash, just photo light which is useless. GSMarena has posted incorrect and misleading specs for this phone. Very less internal memory, ICS update makes it super-laggy.

  • Hi My Wi-Fi & Bluetooth device is not working. Any one can help me to active this device. Thanks Nazmul

  • Anyone pls help.everytime I connect my headset it says accessories not supported..my headset is also sony.what should I do.tnxs

  • Try to polish your glass over the lens. Use toothpaste and clean with some pressure in circular motions. Use soft cloth. Also, better solution is Displex Classic - that is polish paste for removing scratches from non touch screens...But the goal is to remove that protective UV film from that glass - it ruins photos with some whiteish fog on photos...and even gets peeld-off. So, it is ok to use toothpaste and polish, remove that film...circular motions with soft clooth...polish 5min, then clean, see progres and do it again untill satisfied...it needs time. Dont press too hard, rather do it for longer time... There is topic on that in XDA developers forum, general section...

  • my phone have no camera clarity

  • HI, can u pls provide the link to root the phone? Thx. Haha.

  • Anybody know update ray for jelly bean no have auto update

  • hi guys!! my ray have a problem be course of some water went inside of the phone... i can't see anything on my screen. but the screen light is working what can i do???????? please answer.. thanks.

  • Been using more than a year..well updating to ICS with. 587 kernel is good and giving it a root access also using custom rom are very satisfying.. Xperia ultimate hd custom rom give this phone a chance to maximize its full potential.. Nice and handy kinda eye catcher as well for a single core device.. 4\5 for me..

  • There is nothing much to know. It is similar on all android phones...just maybe difference is in programs you use. So for root everything you need is on: Also find thread on xda developers forum. Xperia Ray development...SUS is official way to reinstall your firmware on phone. So if you are on GB with sus you can update to ICS. And if on ICS, repair/update again with ICS...After that when you get phone running, let is settle down for 5min, do not setup anything...and then do factory reset on phone (delete microsd also). After that...let your phone settle down a little bit and then use Eroot program to root. It is one click tool...so, there is nothin much to do with it. Also, CWM (cyanogen work mod) you can after that install with app x-parts from play store. Download it, run, and select install CWM...CWM is tool that lets you make backup of your entire phone (if changing roms), install better drivers for gpu, camera (cybershot mod),... It is for noobs. Just follow instructions. So, in short: 1. Sony Update Service - update to ICS 2. Factory reset + wipe sd card 3. Eroot 4. Setup gmail acc, and basic settings 5. Install x-parts app (play store), and install CWM 6. Go on xda and search "xperia ray cybershot" - you get one zip file you select in CWM to flash 7. Go on xda and search xperia ray gpu driver (you have 2-3 versions) - download zip file you flash with cwm 8. You can download patch that fix led bug - search for ultimate led fix - zip file you flash with cwm 9. Dont put in there a lot of apps, just apps you use. 10. Delete bloatware (es file explorer or titanium backup) - you can cut-paste to sd card, so you can get it back if needed. After doing cut/copy/paste with es file explorer you must restart phone 11. cut-paste apps from /data/app to /system/app and change permissions to rw-r-r (like other system apps are) - do it with es file explorer manualy, or automaticaly with titanium backup. My all apps are on system, just 3-4 are on user partition... Search my previous posts here - I think i wrote a lot about that... Every phone hangs with time - so factory reset should do the job, or reinstall firmware (SUS)...Every android more apps is there it is slower. It shouldnt have impact but it does. Search on xda and sony talk mobile what apps are safe to delete - bloatware (80+ apps) Also, when system app is updated, you can then delete app on system, because update is on user (/data/app) and old one is on /system/app...old + new version. So I delete for example Gmail on system, and cut-paste new one from data/app to system/app. Also, you can remove that info about disconected internet, in notification bar...search on xda for "data disabled notification remove" - you just change some text in one file with es file explorer.

  • ica..i found you are an interesting person..coz u know all about this phone..i have this phone for almost 1 1/2 yr..now its a lil bit hanging, and mabe the reason is too much process of the phone..i want to know how to rootware and bloatware my phone...can u help me step-by-step how to do this...i truly appreciate your help...thanks in advance..

  • Also you can find on xda forum driver for GPU - it improves 3D graphics. Go on xperia ray development section.

  • Connect to Sony Update Service and do repair/update ICS. Then do factory reset. After that root (Eroot program) and delete bloatware (xda forum what is safe to delete, use ES file explorer). Select apps that are good, bad apps slow down your phone. If you realy prefer gaming, try downgrade to GB and other GB or ICS gaming roms. But ICS stock with root and deleted bloatware is great for everyday use and here and there gaming not demanding games...

  • the 8mp camera is ok but the quality is not in the top of the cameras which are in the same range. some of the phones with 5mp can do it better (n95 for example):-( pls compare if you can and report back

  • I bought 1year used phone my phone display has some time blinking not coming soon and. It proces very slow and the temple run game was not playing well some time slow pls any budi know the soluction say it

  • I have been using ray for more than 1 year and it works flawlessly,,,... The build quality is great.still looks and works like new one.. IF u are fond of playing games too much,then use Ginger Bread or any custom rom HD games like asphalt7,nfs mw,nova 3 etc runs smooth on mine(using RAYONIUM GB) and still faced no issues at all..

  • First year it will be good. After 1 year its giving problems. its stucking many times. Process become very slow. Sometimes you cant open your mails also. its internal memory is low(512 mb).whis is not sufficient for apps.

  • anyone used Sony's xb30ex extra bass stereo headphones??? how is the performance? is it better than mh-650??

  • I love xperia say. It is the best one.

  • have this phone 3G in front camera

  • is it able to skype video calling?

  • It's very nice . I Love my Ray...

  • I love ray :)

  • I love ray :)

  • it is a software problem of this phone.just root or flush your phone and everything is ok because i also face this problem.

  • Buy more expensive phone with bigger screen, procesor, ram... :) You can try custom GB roms and kernels - that is best for gaming. But try also ICS gaming roms... Generaly GB should be better for gaming, ICS for everything else...gaming is also ok if games are not demanding! I dont have any games on my xperia Ray...I tryed temple run and similar games...asphalt etc. But, dont realy play games on my phone... This is not gaming phone! But here and there is ok to play games.

  • but i cant play hd games on ics. what should i do?

  • I downgraded to GB but GB lags more, and is more ugly, ICS works better in one word...also tought that GB would be more stabile etc...but ICS is realy ok. For me it improves phone and usage experience.

  • Also, try search xda for more download files etc. Before downgrade run SUS and update/repair your phone so on computer you have raw files from which you can make ftf to flash back on your countrys rom version... Try some ICS custom roms and GB roms optimized for games. With root you dont lose warranty, unlocking bootloader you lose your waranty and cant use SUS to update anymore. For root you can use Eroot app - it is new way to root - one click root! For cwm there is app on google play - x-parts (pvy)

  • hello guys i am using 4.0.4 on my xperia ray. but ics is so laggy and now i want to downgrade my phone to gingerbread because many hd games do not run on ics. But i cant get an one click download link to download flashtool and the gb ftf file. if any body can give me a download link then i would be very thankful. plz friends help me

  • Yes, Mx player plays it all. HD for sure, full hd I didnt try, i think it can be played, must try...I think i only have had one movie in full hd - dont remember if there were some problems...Full hd doesnt have much sense on that small phone. HD works. Full HD maybe...if overclocked to 1,4 Ghz...dont know.

  • To play video in any player, install MX player. It plays full HD files, i've tested upto 1.5 gb movie. No lag, never. The cam is 8mp, excellent. Never upgrade to ICS or you will kinda ruin ur phone. Ram is less so you can observe some lag if (only)ram is full.

  • can this phone plays all kinds of video without coversion, like mp4,mkv,flv etc? can i watch full hd movies on this phone without any lagings? someone plz help me out. i have to know this before i buy this phone. thnx in advance :)

  • wifi was alright before but now its no longer working. I can't access to any wifi connection even if i type it manually. please help. maybe there is something to reset? thank you.

  • I have this phone, and i love it . i have tested some hd games like bad company 2, nfs hotpersuit and it did not lag at all.i suggest u upgrade to ics 4.0.4 and before upgarding factory reset ur phone and uninstall all applications.

  • Yes you can use Wechat on this phone

  • Extremly durable - I use it without a case, it falls often - nothing happens. A few days ago it flew out of my car window mid turn, hit the road asphalt and side walk - some bruises aound the metal frame, but other than that its ok.

  • can we are use wechat in this phone tell me guys

  • If you want to use it for only phone calls messeging , browsing web in a limits, it can stand for a day and a half , but dont buy this phone ,i have it and it only has 1Ghz proseccor, and you 'll face a lots of lags

  • Waqas overall battery is good almost on full charge it gives a good 1-2 days of usage and it depends upon the user how he/she manages with it I am using it with custom rom RAYONIUM V7.If we use it a hour with wifi-on it drains 10-14% of battery

  • what about bettry timing of this [phone tell immidiately

  • what about bettery timing of this phone baad or good. tell me guys

  • zelly cream ...are u sure? thats a custom Rom for xperia. Is ur phone rooted and unlocked BL?

  • You can check then also xperia x10 mini - if you are searching for cheaper phone and lower performance than Ray... Ray is excellent phone, without lag or any bugs. Ofcourse, there are better phones...with better camera, proc, ram, space...But it doesnt run much faster than ray in everyday use.

  • ray is not for you .. i can beat a sola, U and J with my ray.. no lags no issues :)) and wait .. its not rooted yet

  • Ive been using these phone for 1 year, yet their's a lag sometimea when I updated it to ics. Second was my speaker was broken, I mean my speaker sounds not good anymore as I brought it new. Btw, it still classic of Sony Ericsson. I gave 8.8 over 10.

  • How can I make a video call.... Plz reply....

  • Thank you for your response! I'll go check sola

  • Go for xperia sola if you want a phone in this range , cuz now i having the xperia ray and i can say it is not good a lot of lags (im in GB) , for the xperia U you already say it that dont have sd card slot

  • Again - root, delete bloatware (80+apps), avoid bad apps (with bad optimization). Also, there are some great mods, roms, kernels...Any stock phone sucks - xperia Z, galaxy s3, s4...iphone... Stock sucks always! Thats why there is xda develeopers forum! There is no perfect phone - but you can improve any phone and customize to suit your needs and wishes!

  • this phone wasnt that bad!! yes this phone was great until ics comes... you can blame ics for this as it became laggy after it was release and eat too much ram on it!! this was the last Ericsson phone and it was its best before it was became sony... it has still support but it already announced that all 2011 Xperia will not have jb!! it was grateful that atleast this phone got ics...... i miss this unit.....

  • Thats why you have xda developers forum and people who improved software as far as it can be improved! Stop complaining and go on xda - anything stock can be improved, phones, cars, computers, etc.

  • Hi Guys, which is better? This xperia ray or xperia u? I like small phones. It's sad to know that xperia u do not have sd card slot.

  • I had this phone with me for quite a time but I had a terrible experience. I paid around 18 thousands rupees and later they reduced anyway and later this model is stopped and this explains why I had terrible experience. WIth 1 Ghz processor and 512 MB RAM its worst configuration and I top of that Sony is such a b>>>t company it doesn't provided any Jelly bean update which would have solved most of the issues but they keep launching new phones and they never provide any kind of support to the old phones I don't understand why someone should buy their phones at fist place? I strongly recommend users not to buy any sony phones and even there is news that some market experts are advised sony to get out the electronics business which is biggest loss making to Sony so they should listen to them and stop making any electronics products and keep signing the life insurance policies.

  • I like its gold one because when i bring it off from my pocket in every where most people at least look at it just for a moment,In fact i think that everybody like its design and nobody don't hate it at all. I will not sell it out!!

  • plz guys does this phone hav (music dj) d type of music dj that is on w800 or k750 etc..

  • What means: phn, mnth, n, cmra, vdio, pwr, btry, pwr!? WTF?

  • im usng the phn for last 11mnth.n im really hapy wth it.its music qualty cmra hd n vdio.n also phn pwr.btry pwr is just cool.thanks sony.

  • Does phone vibrate on long pressing power-on button? If yes research a bit about Bricked Xperia Ray and try using Flashtool

  • One and only phone with all required features (Powerful processor with graphics, 8Mp Primary Camera, Secondary Camera, All required sensors, Metal Body, Notification Light, Higher resolution, GLONASS, Good Battery Backup) with small (Mobile) size.

  • Do you install xperia jelly bean lockscreen on stock ics based rooted xperia ray? put system/app not work on my xperia ray. how can I do it? please help me guys!

  • Do you install xperia jelly bean lockscreen on stock ics based rooted xperia ray? put system/app not work on my xperia ray. how can I do it? please help me guys!

  • its durable and fast phone ive been using it for 1 year and 6 month's. its really scratch resistance. just remove the free screen protector

  • hey guys i have true complain about xperia ray. I bought that pohone 1 year ago after 6 month it was dead. I gave it to rapire but he say processer is dead. And i bought processer. But it didnt work. And also couple of my friend 2 xperia ray phone. All of its dead. Because all xperia ray have ic and processer problem. Bye guys

  • No, DON'T rely on its scratch resistance... bought mine last year.. after a week i saw a scratch 2cm length.. so i bought an ishield screen protection and take note it is easy cracked when pressure is applied..

  • I have used this phone from 6 months ago. overall this phone is well but, it does not bear enough charges. so i give it 4.5 of 10 .

  • You dont need second screen protector...I removed mine and for months no scratches on antishater protector... Just keep it in pocekt alone, no keys etc and would be fine!

  • Just bought the phone and I Can't find any screen protector anymore. Is it necessary or should I rely in it's scratch resistance feature?

  • When i bought this phone I was facing some problem from beginning. 1. when i talked with this phone the network lost automatically, so that phone was disconnected after some time. 2. battery time is too low, sometime it just switch off where as i never talked with this phone a lots of time.I already show it to servicing center & they advice there is no guaranty to solution this problem even may be it will be dead. sony Ericsson is my favorite brand but this is first tie i was facing so many problem. Pls advice the solution also advice Xperia which model is best to use at present in market .

  • Yes, it has Sweep Panaroma

  • It can be upgradetd officialy on ICS 4.0.4 (v.587) and phone performance and functionality realy improves with upgrade! It just needs root and deleted bloatware! Also, it can be upgraded to 4.1.2 or 4.2.2 (CM versions and other ROMs) - unofficialy.

  • It can be upgraded to 4.0.4 But it really degrades the performance of the phone.

  • I got version 4.0.4 on mine.

  • It can.

  • Yes it has panorama, and the handset is briliant with a custom rom, new kernel and modded, specially the camera, of course in his price

  • tell me, xperia ray hasn't sweep panorama?

  • Which is the last version of android that Xperia Ray can be upgraded to?

  • super phone

  • Are you serious? You nag about no voice recorder or notepad!?! Seriously? Thats like I nag about no Need For Speed isnt there! Thats why you have play store and can download any or every one voice recorder available! Same is for notepad or any other program and functionality you want! Just download it from market!!! For space - you can get +150mb on system. Also, you can use microSD card 32GB and some people report that 64GB works after few restarts...So, is 32GB enough for you!? It would be nice if there is 128GB available - but that would increase price! So 550mb is not bad...for rest big apps you can put them on microsd...or even use link2sd to send all... But i belive thats too adwanced for you becuse you cant download voice recorder from play store... Search for instructions - google it "how to download from play store" and "app2sd android" If you want record voice call - there is kernel that supports it, so that is also possibble!

  • how can you brick your phone with root proces??? Go on google and type talk sony mobile xperia root. And there you can find guide to downgrade to gb and one click root method! You conect your phone to comp, click on eroot program, click root, wait 10sec, it will tell you when done. So how can you brake something??? Same with downgrade. read previous posts. I alredy gave instructions where and how... but for everyday ics is better.

  • u can download auto call recorder or ultimate voice recorder for free from playstore or www.wapdam.com

  • i am not an expart usuer. i'm new on android and as far as i know threre are some risks of making my phone a bricked one if i could not root my phone with proper steps. so i am thiking of downgrading to GB from ICS. Can you help me on that?

  • yes, you are correct...bot so nice

  • MP3 MUSIC!!! Hi there, how do I download MP3 running music in my phone and can my phone store 2hours worth of MP3 music? Would love to use this music for running instead of buying an Mp3 player. Cheers! :)

  • i have reinstalled that games. infact i never used GB os. i bought it upgraded. but now i am thinking of downgrading to GB from ICS. Can you tell me wheather xperia ray support the latest games of gameloft and ea in gingerbread. Thank you.

  • Try GB - it is better for gaming. Or ICS with root, delete bloatware...and if hangs then try unlock bootloader and other roms and kernels - there are some great ICS and GB roms and kernels for gaming!

  • This phone is really good and stable just the way it is, with no update to it's software. but it has no call recorder or even any voice recorder. The second thing about it, it has no notepad. And last is a small internal space of around 420mb. To me the rest of the phone features are okey.

  • its ok u just need to re install the game...i was using android 2.2 than i upgraded to ics ,its the same thing like u...but i just re install back my game...xperia ray amazing phone honestly

  • Hello XXX, Does deleting paired device in Bluetooth history solves the "restart" issue? I love my Xperia Ray but this problem really makes me disappoint my phone! :'(

  • I bought Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray phone in December 2012. Recently I observed that the screen is getting blurred gradually. Please can anybody help give a solution?

  • This phone is great. this is my first android phone. I use it for video chat using "fring" the wifi is good. The Tethering function is the No.1 reason i get this phone. I travel a lot and i need internet for my laptop but i don't want to keep on installing new usb modem, etc.. just to get an internet from one country to the other. I just buy a local sim, activate, and go. But I guess all smartphone today also have this function. The battery life for standby is also best. I don't complain for a photo quality since i don't demand much for it. since i need also the byte size of photo captured to be small. If i really need something better i usually have my Nikon D40 DSLR by my side to take the job off my phone. If you think the camera of the phone is much better before when its still new, try cleaning the lens. Just be carefull not to scratch.

  • hi guys, i been using this mobile for abt 7 months now with locked boot loader since it came from a plan,rooted running ICS with smart xperira custom ROM. i feel like i'm using Xperia Z on my Ray.. the best.. no lags!

  • Hi Guys.... Please answer whether this phone has a 1. video calling 2. Wifi. 3. Howz the phone usage. 4. At last wha is the Price in India or in GULF Please reply...

  • really good option

  • Hello guys, ive been using this mobiles from past 15 months or so.... a wonder ful mobile with excellent camera. but as for now i feel that the quality of images or videos taken is not as good as it was when Xperia ray was new!! i think it has to be serviced every now and then or what! i dunno!! can anyone help plz????? it has fallen around 10 times or so on to the floor and once fell in water but still its working great. really this mob is durable. im planning to change my mob now just fr the sake that im in need of a dual sim mobile!.... This is one of the best mobile in SONY!... gr8 that i own it:)

  • Why wouldnt run fast with 32GB microsd? If you have fast card (class 10) it is fast, and if you have slow one (class2) - it is slow...

  • To make backup of your FW there is 2 options: 1) SUS file - make backup of your fw that SUS downloaded from net when upgrading your device (if you did update/repair) 2) CWM - nandroid backup First option is better, easy. Just make ftf file of your SUS files - and then flash it on your phone even without internet...CWM option is good for doing restore without computer - just keep backup on microSD card... If you didnt save your SUS files and want your region FW, try to findout what is your SI and how to change SI number in your phone so SUS can read that number and get you desired region version of FW....google it, search on xda!

  • Go on xda developers, xperia ray developing section - and find there ROMs etc...and try GB (v42 and v.62) and ICS (4.0.4). All stock. You can find those ftfs also on talk.sonymobile forum - flash ftf GB and see if BT couses restarts. Also try ICS and see if couses restarts...if does, flash back your version of ICS (SUS) and send to repair service...It could be faulty device. Before you do that, se your region number - or simply, if you want root your device and install CWM (x-parts app) and make nandroid backup. Then you can after trying flash back that backup and get your region firmware as it was before - and then, do SUS repair/update again to erase tracks of root...This is just in case you send it to repair service they dont see that your flashed another firmware or root... They could see that if you left ICS or GB version from xda - not your region specific! Region is determined I thin with SI number - under your battery, on your box and in one file in your firmware. You can change that number (search xda) to get any region firmware you want (with SUS)...so thats why I told you to do nandroid backup - you get your version of FW backup...If you flash ICS or GB from xda or sony talk mobile - you get different SI number, international version (Great Britan i think)...not your country SI. This is just in case for warranty purposes - maybe they dont check that...so, just in case! If BT restart problem remains on GB (both versions) and ICS versions, and even after factory reset -then it is mailfunction! Dont know what could be then... I dont remember when my Ray restarted it self - maybe once when I bought it on GB...On ICS never! Use BT headset everyday...

  • thank u somuch dear ica, thanks alot for ur reply, ics is good but when I turn on the Bluetooth my ray restarting continuous, what can I do ???????? please help me. thank u.

  • I use it for about a year and is a great, fast, the camera is fantastic, when I bought it I debated between the Xperia Ray and Neo V, but because of the beautiful designs I bought Ray, I'm very pleased with the ultimate HD ROM runs fast even with 32 GB memory card.

  • i using my ray mobile since 28/04/2013 while using my phone browesing the back top portion started to getting hot and even without using the moblie the battery comes to low in OS 4.0.4 was already upgreaded and running applications was also stoping freqently. tell is there any way to control it.

  • Try again with SUS to install ICS. After that, run phone for few minutes (to settle down) and then factory reset, wipe micro sd also. Sometimes it takes 2-3 times to flash same OS and do factory reset to get lag free xperia Ray (or any android). So try to do that and see what you get...and if you want to downgrade - use stock .ftf file from xda-developers forum and flash it with flashtool. You have files you need and instructions also on talk.sonymobile forum...search xperia 2011 root downgrade Before you do that - save your ICS files from C:/...SUS/bloob.... so you can make .ftf file of your version of ICS if you want to go back to ICS. I did it that way...downgraded to GB and then again back to ICS - because it feels and operates better...GB is old.

  • U slove your problem..by update your phone

  • U slove your problem..by update your phone

  • hello friends. I m from India.I'm using xperia Ray n my phone is out of India from Dubai. I update my Ray on ics first time the phone works very good but now it's working too slow .I want to downgrade the phone when I m visit Sony authoritiesed service centre n they says it's not possible to downgrade in our service centre because the phone is out of India. I'm called Sony xperia customer care n the same answer. please friends help me. the phone works very good on GB. how to downgrade my phone please please please help me. sorry for bad English. thank you

  • For those who want to know what is this phone about: - you can get 1-2 days of usage, maybe even more with light usage...and you will go through the day with heavy usage - You can get 12-14Mbps 720p (HD) video with stereo mp3 320kbps sound - that is realy good for phone that price and size - Very good pictures - use lgcamera for photo and video - i get better results...play a little bit with stock, mods (cybershot mod on xda), lgcamera, or other apps...vignette for auto-flash - BT, Wifi, Wifi tethering, usb tethering, micro sd 32 GB for sure (some say to get 64GB to work) - everything works flawlessly - You can video skype, use navigation Only thing is - you must optimize it: how? - Update to ICS (for example, it is great), after that factory reset. Now it should be lag free. After that, root and delete bloatware (80+apps). Now use apps that are optimized - people say they are excellent! Facebook isnt sample of very well optimized app...avoid it. For details, read previous posts - i wrote about that stuff...but all in one place in month or so...But it isnt so complicated: One more time - SUS update, factory reset, root, remove bloatware, choose apps wisely.

  • You can contact me on PM on xda-developers page: I'm "mlesic". I dont have a lot of knowladge, just experence I gathered during adjusting my Ray...And that was a process of few months...so Im trying to help if someone need - most of people like me can find answers alredy on net...but it requires a lot of investigating and learning new stuff... So I remember how I was few months ago when didnt know what means CWM or how to flash kernel and not brick phone etc...most people on forums etc considered that everyone have some knowladge about that stuff...but I ask what is CWM, what to fash, how, what, what... When I find time, I will put together some guide for Ray - maybe in one-two months...Altho, all that can be found on xda - I plain to make it for someone who doesnt know what is root, cwm, or even english...with pictures... :D

  • Update/repair with SUS, factory reset. If problem persists - send to repair service!

  • Today at morning, when I turn-on the bluetooth of my xperia ray it's continuing restarting itself, now I can't use my phone. Any one can help me what do I now? How it stop to restarting. pleas help me.

  • today at morning, when I on the Bluetooth of my xperia ray it continuing to restart itself, now i can't use my phone, any help me what can i do now?????

  • Hi Ica I am seeing the posts done by you..seems u are having great knowledge about this phone... Is it possible to contact you , actually I am having xperia ray but i dont have enough knowledge about the phone. I felt that I am simply using the mobile for taking pics, videos and internet...by seeing ur posts I am realising the mobile has got great features..so can you help me to understand this mobile. so that only I asked if it possible to contact you by anyway? waiting for ur reply

  • you may perform a factory reset and install as less apps as possible. please make sure about your contact, sms etc backup. thanks!

  • Dont post how Ray is bad and lag and hang or heat up or dont work - first send it to repair service! Every phone or device can get mailfunction, actualy - they make it to last for limited time and then to mailfunction!!! But I consider my Ray is not broken or mailfunctioned - so it doesnt get heat up over normal. Ofcourse it gets heat up a little bit if I talk longtime, wifi tethering and charging - all at a same time!!! Also, it doesnt hang or lag - because it rooted it, deleted bloatware (ICS) and select apps that are considered the best! So, no problems if device is not broken. So it would be nice if you post also what repair service said about your device! If you dont know how to use it or optimize it to suit your needs, that doesnt mean phone is bad. It says more about you than your phone...and it would be like that with every phone or brand you use! Every phone needs optimizing! My girlfriend bought xperia Z - and she get it to restart is self few times...she tryed to run few times video that is over 25Mbps (lgcamera) and broken...and one more time - I dont know what she did...anyways - even 4x1,5Gz and 2GB RAM and 16GB space can be crushed, overheat, lag, hang, restart...if you dont root, delete bloatware, maybe use other ROM or atleast get some patches or mods that correct problems... You mean Sony make phone perfect? Is there perfect phone at all - i would get one also! ;) But for now I think Ray is perfect for me!

  • 1. Delete messages more often - ofcourse if you have few thousends of messages you get hang and it takes time! 2. If you use it - it uses battery. Every phone uses battery if you use it, and if dont use - it doesnt use battery, or uses little bit. If turned off, and battery out - it will get drained in few months or years...it degrade with time also - deppending on temperature and quality... 3. It should get hot when charged - but everything up to 46C is ok... 4. It hangs and drags and lags if you dont optimize it...root and delete bloatware! Advice: 1. Delete all messages you dont REALY need! 2. Search for better ROM, there are some battery friendly ROMs...I use stock, it is very god ratio battery/performance...enough for me! Also, in stock root, delete bloatware - select apps that have good optimizations... 3. Charge with weaker charger - my phone charger is 850mA, and BT charger (for SE VH410) is 500mA -slower charging, less temperature. But everything up to 46C is safe and OK - same like when using! 4. Root, delete bloatware and use apps smart - quickpic instead stock gallery, ex dialer instead stock dialer (dont delete it, you can delete stock galery). 5. Use SUS to upgrade to ICS, after that do factory reset and then everything else...Do restart here and there...that helps when in problems.

  • Im using this for almost 1 year. I just observe that: 1. Deleting too many thread messages can cause hang up of your phone. 2. Using more app or wifi can drain the battery easily. 3. The phone gets hot if I charge it. 4.And lastly. Hang up hang up hang up. :( it occurs if the phone is hot, if you close/open apps that maybe eats so much of the RAM. My observation

  • I think u should clear the ram so that it will work.

  • Hope they would release new os update for 2011 phones... Maybe something closer to JB w/o loosing the adobe flash function. Enhance the browser and music player settings ( able to edit song name and artist.)

  • Battery is ok - simillar to other phones - 1-2 days. Try to root and delete bloatware, use other dialer. If that doesnt help - send your device to repair service! I connect calls in 1 sec. Dont know what are you talking about...?

  • Best Hadeset this modeal very nice all pictures.... Hadaling very easy... very cheap modeal this Hadeset...

  • Hi frndz !!!!! I m using this mob app. 1 year back.. The touch ,superb Camera , Great Battery, Worst Sound, Excellent Net, average but the blunder fault is its hanging problem, if u want to make a call then u should atleast have one min to connect a call, some times u will have to disconnect its battery and then make it restart while using any app and u want to exit !!!!!!

  • My live with Walkman is one year old and it is till now like when i bought it

  • Hello all, i am using Xperia ray since june 2012, about 7 months its worked very fine know display is not working & if we use phone for 5 min its getting hotter. if you want to use for short term it is very gooooood, long term very bad. sorry for my bad English............

  • Is it possible to upgrade 3d sweep panorama on xperia ray?

  • it means that out of 1 gb, only 300 mb can access by user. the remaining 700 mb is for the phone (like apps) don't worry, there is a memory card slot up to 32 gb.

  • Google it - i wrote here but post wasnt published!? dont know why...

  • Yes, /data/app partition (user available) for your apps is 300 or 400mb (GB or ICS). But you can root, delete bloatware and get 250 or 150 mb on /system/app. Then you can convert apps to system - utilize that free space. Also, you integrate update in to system (gmail, youtube, play store,...those double apps)

  • what the meaning 300 MB user avaible? Is it in. storage only 300 MB?

  • Guy si hv a problem,.. My ray is restarting when I use internet and also when I'mgetting a call. Sometimes it restartingwhen its standby. But without sim,it is great.. No troubles, no restarting.

  • Use mx video player app. And for explorer - ex file explorer...generaly - use android play market to search for apps you need!

  • How can i delete the blotware?

  • hi jhon-BD! yes, you can use your xperia ray as a modem for your PC. it is called tethering & portable hotspot, so it means you're going to use your phone as a modem with its wi-fi connection. First, make sure you are subscribed to your data plan and your pc or notebook is able to connect to the wi-fi connection. Second, open 'settings', then select 'more...' Next, select 'Tethering & Portable Hotspot' Then, tick on the 'Portable wi-fi hotspot' box. your wi-fi will be activated and the tethering will be activated too Next, select the 'configure wi-fi hotspot'. fill in the SSID with the name you'd like to (you can also leave it as it is), and change your password (this password will be asked when your pc is connected to the phone), then select 'save' After that, turn on the wi-fi on your pc/notebook and you'll detect your phone. just connect it just like you usually do when connecting to the wi-fi in a coffee shop. It will ask for the password, then type the password you just entered on the phone earlier. And.. voila! it is based on my own experience, I hope it helps. Regards, Gina

  • Hi, I am going to buy Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray. Plz tell me.Is it good or bad? Thanx....!

  • When I try to transfer any media file 'dowloaded from youtube to my computer' to the phone, I get a message saying that the file exists but I still can't find or play it...need help, thanks.

  • can I use my ray as a modem to connect to internet by my pc. if yes so how ? please show the step...

  • I love my ray its rockin phone ever super model . if this mobile get 4" 1280*720p display n 1 gb ram quad core 1.2 GHz processor . on jellybean . its going to rock the market love u Sony love u Ray

  • hey . I have same problem. 3 times in ice cream sandwich on my Ray when I on the blutooth on my Ray n is restarting continue. I think its best on ginger bread . sorry for bad English

  • Yes you can downgrade from ICS to GB. Search sony.talkmobile forum and xda. But try to root ICS first and delete bloatware - it is ok! GB have a little bit better performance in games etc. But ICS is more beautifoul and new or advanced apps runs better...

  • plz tell me can we reinstall GB instead of ICS? And can we upgrade it with Jelly Bean? Waiting for your kind reply. Thanks

  • I dont think there is any google maps dependent services...if you use navigon or copilot or geo tag photo...you dont need google maps. Try to search what is safe to delete and what is not - so if you delete something you need you can get it back - just dont delete it and instead do cut/paste on you microsd card - so just cut/paste back on /system/app (and chenge permisions to rw-r-r) and you have your app back... As I said - there is over 80 apps that can be safely deleted - in other words, you lose nothing, phone dont need them if you dont use them. If you use google maps, than dont delete it - but you can always download from market google maps, gmail, youtube... I dont use google maps - dont know what is good inside? It uses internet data traffic...navigon doesnt.

  • Thanks! But aren't G maps required for location aware apps? I need a couple that need corse location (at least).

  • Send device to repair (warranty). Or try other GB or ICS software... I dont have that problem! Every phone or brand is crappy and worst on the world...when your device is broken! Thats why service center exists - and warranty!

  • Have the same pb of rebooting with BT. To solve it just delete the phones you have paired with BT. Pb is you cannot do it because of the rebooting !! Solution is to delete the phone you just have paired with BT every time after you used BT...It is a really pain. Crappy SE phones

  • Hi Guyes... My Experia Ray phone most of time dispalys, "Emergency Call Only" no network available, but once it re-start, then working without issue but thisthis occur many times a day, could anybody advice the what the problem it is..?

  • How do you mean video over 3G??? I dont know what network provide that service - video calling. But you can use skype and other apps that can do video calling!

  • i cant using video call from my cellular connection & my network is 3G. so any body pls help me.

  • No, I don't get any problem.

  • Hello guys, I've been using my ray now for almost a year. Does anybody experience "restart" issue when after turning-on the bluetooth (in ICS version). It because mine is constantly restarting when turning on the bluetooth. So what I did to resolve the issue is to reinstalled the OS (ICS) and I hate it doing so. It happens me 4 times! I suspect that Skype app causing the restart issue after turning-on the bluetooth. I would like to hear your opinion on this guys. Thanks!

  • Guys, Stop complaining please! If you didn't like this phone it's your problem not phone problem Ray is the real deal here, It's just awesome in stock ROM's and even more awesome if you pimped it with a costumed ROM like Viper or HD Ultimate, I've been using it since a year and I bought it USED! Go for Xperia .. Go for Ray.

  • Which probleam

  • i definitely getting this 4ne, small, compact, budget friendly.a little outdated which would perfectly fit with the outdated me... muhahaha... love sony..

  • My screen appears grey, when I just stop using my mob for a minute, den I have to open the ph and take out its battery, and restart it again, What can I do? I just brought it 3 months ago

  • it gets worse guys! i suggest you get a new phone. the same problem happened to me a month a go and i thought oh it goes back to normal it's fine but it started gettting worse to the point where i have to keep switching my phone off and the battery is all messed up. my advice to you guys is get a new phone

  • i like it.

  • im having the same problem!!! :(

  • You from Malaysia? Me also. I'm bought it online for RM645. Already 2 months using it. Quite great. I'm using custom rom ViperXperia v5. Also AP set cause this model has discontinued. :(

  • there is a short circuit in your phone. take it to your dealer or a phone technician for repair.

  • i really like the camera, 8mp for rm670 only is worth...but it's broken after use in about 6 month..the charging pin is so sensitive.. do please buy the original one coz mine is AP set...Ori should be better..gud day!

  • my phone discharge too fast even if i am not using it please help

  • problem facing X ray like the screen always black out try to pressing the on/off button still same .already chk battery full , is it after i upgrade it to new version can cause this ? Or can i downgrade to the old version.

  • Yes, U can safely delete GMaps.

  • thanx frnd

  • Yes. it is safe to delete google maps. youtube also. you have cca 80 apps you can safely delete. search talk sony mobile or xda. it is xperia related..works for ray,arc,neo,mini etc. same list of apps. On list you have chinese keyboard!!! And always can copy/paste back app if need again! so it is not delete but cut/paste. Why google maps you want? -use navigon, copilot..

  • Is it safe to delete Google maps? Have you actually done it? I'd like to delete the system version and reinstall the latest version as a user app. Is that what you have done? Anybody else??

  • i have been using Sony xperia ray phone from last few days. for browsing, i asked my sim customer care for internet,web,mms settings and they gave it as requested.i can browse internet from Opera mini browser but when i went for using app such as Maps,Navigation,Places,Setup guide and its own browser it showed that "the application requiresa working data connection".

  • I have a problem with charging my phone its the only problem I have really it just doesn't charge I have had to get a spare battery to help with the problem and sometimes neither one charges its so annoying !!! otherwise a great phone ( the problem is the charger i reckon)....

  • ICS batterylife is ok. But GB is 15-20% better I think. But not a big difference! Try ICS, and if you dont like you can alwas go back to gb (as now it is). Heres what you do: root your phone (ERoot - search talk sony mobile forum, even v.62 can be rooted) and install CWM with xparts app from market...then do nandroid backup. Now you can flash ICS, GB or what you want and then if you like to go back, you can flash GB, root, CWM and restore that backup you made yourself. So you have YOUR regional version as it was. Also there is ftf file v.62 GB on xda.

  • For performance etc - try to update your phone, repair/update via SUS if you are on ICS - and then root and delete bloatware. Also you have mods for camera etc...Also, GB is better for performance and games (also root and delete bloatware). For network problems - try another mobile operator! Or send your device for repair!

  • Xperia Ray, was really good when i bought it. But days passed, the phone lost its performance. Getting hang frequently, screen is going blank, also RAM is too low, due to which most of the games are getting struck. Also Network detection is bad, taking lot of time to search for network and also losses its connection suddenly. The only best thing is , 8 MB Camers but no Flash :(.

  • The internal memory is less, which can upset the gamers and app lovers. I had upgraded to ICS but i think that the camera performance degraded. I would suggest any one to stay on GB !And ICS makes no big difference.

  • how about ICS battery life?

  • Ray have led flash and led light - for light use stock or lgcamera app, and for flash use vignette app! Internal memory is ok - 550mb is more than ok (atleast for me...even now I have 250 mb free on system and cca 200mb free on user partition. But sure 16 GB would be better, and 32 GB is even better - but there is only one flaw with that space - if phone drops dead or anything, you loose your photos, video, data...but thats for microsd 32GB! So I use 550mb for apps, and micro sd 32 gb for everything else (also apps can go on micro sd - so how is 550mb not enough!?) Dont understand? Around menu button there is led lidgh around button. Dont understand why you want more lights? Nowdays phones doesnt even have buttons, and you want more buttons and more lights?

  • my screen has gone a plain grey colour, only after leaving it a while will the colour come back. this happens every time i lock my phone, anyone know what i can do?

  • phone is automatically restarting make the call or when call is coming plz give me the solution

  • Overall Not Too bad... Doesn't has Auto flash ,internal memory very less... doesn't has LED for meny key and back key...

  • Hey, try to go to this forum. There so many post about custom rom for Xperia Ray. I'm using ViperXperia V5 with Xperia Z and Jelly Bean feature. So cool. Sorry for my bad English.

  • Here is comparison: But i think Ray is better for sure! Ray dont lag now on ICS 4.0.4 v.587 - before it was bad, lagg, poor batterylife and bad wifi - that was in firs ICS versions - now v.587 works great, almost same as GB! - I say almost, because GB in reality have little bit better performance and ICS use little bit more of procesor power and RAM (more power hungry). Avarage user wont notice difference in terms of stabilty, batterlife, performance...only if you push to hard to the limits on ICS...then you notice that GB feels better on Ray. I used GB, than ICS, and now again GB - think there is no need for ICS on Ray, there is no big and important new stuff on ICS. But I will probbably agin update to ICS - just for sake of change... ;)

  • The Ray is a great phone, runs even better if you load Luncher Pro. Never had it shut down on me, unlike my Defy. Great screen and great battery life.

  • 13 minutes remaining

  • There's a lot to tell, but can't remember now

  • Why better than Xperia U in your opinion?

  • its the best low price phone I have ever used. definitely better than xperia u.

  • where is the good ?Xperia U or Xperia ray?? PLEASE GIVE ME OPINION

  • Read previous posts!

  • Hi there! I need help. Better this or Xperia U for whatsapp and web browsing? How is messaging? I've heard virtual key is not quiet good. Is it laggy with ics? Thanks to all :D

  • Yes, I play HD games without problems or lag...Ofcourse that you get lag on ICS, without root, removed bloatware or any mods...and above all you put inside bunch of apps you dont use. If you fill xperia Z with apps and games (most of them with bad optimization) you will gete lag, crashed apps etc. Ray is not expensive, powerful phone - it is cheap, small, not very powerful phone which can do a lot of stuf without problems or lag - if you are smart and remove bloatware. Ofcourse, poorly optimized apps can not be measure of device quality. So, just removing bloatware on GB (donwgrade from ICS) will give you performance boost! And keep in mind that it is excellent, small and CHEAP phone! It is not same category as galaxy S3, S4 or xperia Z!

  • I agree ray is not laggy or slow... it just depends on the person who is using it and on how much knowledge you know about your phone because even I can make expria Z lag like hell hahaha... gain more knowledge about your device and try to make the most out of it instead of complaining i played almost all high end HD games on ray and guess what IT DOSEN'T lag hahaha... HD Games: MC3,MC4,NFS MW,NOVA3,ShadowGun etc...(all games lagless)

  • upgraded to ics using pc companion... used almost 1 month ..after that my contact storage app get crashed...and I cannot browse contact...clicking on it shows " no app to perform this " and at last downgraded..... guys did anybody face this problem... is there any other way to solve this other than downgrading. and pls tell WiFi is working on jb( rooted)...

  • when my ear touches screen during talking, light becomes off; also sound at ear becomes off. how can i solve this problem?

  • My ray heated up and went off and does not charge any more. What went wrong?

  • simply super!!!!!!

  • i want video call 3g suportat network

  • Ray have 512 mb RAM - but part of it is used (reserved) for system (stability etc.)

  • It has 300 mb user space because some space is used by system. So 440 mb on Gingerbread is user partition, system is 419 mb partition - rest is I belive cashe partition etc. On GB you can easy root - go on talk.sony mobile there is new one click (ERoot) method, than you can delete cca 80 apps from system and get to use free system space (copy/paste apps to /system/app and dont forget to change permisions later - instructions on xda and talk sony mobile forum)...you can get 250+mb on system and also, you can delete double apps (when updated gmail, google play, you tube - they are doubled because you cant put update in to system if dont have root... I reccoment flashing v.62 stock rom from xda and root with ERoot, than delete bloatare (cut/paste to sd card for backup if want) with es file exploerer (root access). Ray have 1 Ghz and run GB and ICS great. It is slow if you dont know how to optimize it and to be moderate with apps - also, there are some bad apps that slow down phone. My Ray on GB is flying - same was on ICS. But performance is better on GB and overall experience. Heating when using is normal...try some app that record and measure battery stats (temp...), for example battery bot - up to 46C is ok. It is normal to ge cca 41-43C if playing games...it feels a little bit hot. Every android is heating when using, charging.

  • why is the RAM always some 300+mb when the phone has 1GB internal memory..

  • being 1Ghz CPU why the phone is slow??

  • guys my ray imediatly gets heated up even in jst 5 to 10 mnt .can u plz tel me is it comomn in ray.

  • it's very good

  • good...but camera button is flat

  • good...but camera button is flat

  • It's awesome, if U only root it, and place a Miui rom

  • If I want I can make xperia Z laggy! There is no phone with which you cant get to the limit! Just put one or two apps with bad optimization and here you go! On xperia Ray (and every other android) you can root and delete bloatware that makes phone laggy and uses space! So you get 550+mb free space - not just 300mb! Deleting apps - free ram! Facebook, google maps, timescape...all that makes phone laggy. If that were quality apps - ok, you need them and they are great - but facebook is uselles. Timescape also. Google maps - use navigation...etc. So choose quality apps - quick pic instead stock galery. Opera mini instead firefox or chrome...etc. Gingerbread on Ray is better for performance, you get more free ram, more free space with root...it is a little better fit for ray...ICS is also ok. no lag, enough free ram, enough free space - but sometimes it feels like more ram would be better...ICS is made for better hardware. Despite of that - Ray works great, no lag, everything similar to GB - just for example ICS gets video max 12Mbps while GB get video at max 14 Mbps - so no bih difference. If I had put in one word GB vs ICS I would say: it is better fit if you put older OS on newer hardware than if you put new OS in older hardware! But that does not mean that Ray cant run ICS smoothly - I was on GB without root. I updated then on ICS with root - worked great...but was beliving that GB is better - so now I am on stock GB...and they both are great - just little bit different! So try both and decide. Before downgrade to GB you can update with SUS and then make .ftf file of your update files for later flashing (if you want your ICS backup file). GB, ICS, JB - on every phone can lag if you dont optimize and select your apps smart! Yesterday I get xperia Z shutdown - I was trying over again to open video file saved with lgcamera app on 30 Mbps - Z can go max 22Mbps - so Z crached...file was corrupted or something... Does that mean that I can come here and say how xperia Z is bad, laggy, crashing???

  • Laggy phone , useless

  • xperia users, if you like your xperia ray why don't you vote yet

  • I've Xperia Ray ..... I Am Afraid to upgrade it...... 'Cause I Heard X-Ray Lag On ICS When 2 or 3 Apps Running at The same time.And ...Some Display Blackout Problem.....Is It True???... Should I Upgrade...... Help Me Guys..... Sorry For Bad English....

  • I think ray is better from all way............

  • ray

  • please anyone tell me, my xperia ray is not starting. It's displying "Sony Ericsson". Please help me guys

  • If you consider ICS or GB for ray - here are some differeces and similarities: GB - older rom that suits older phone better. There is more free RAM (220+mb) and ROM (320mb user and 250+mb system). That means that Ray will handle games and apps better, it will demonstrate more of performance...so you dont get closed browser, launcher, apps...and you can record videos with lgcamera app on 14 Mbps and 256 Kbps without any problems (ofcourse you must root and change max bitrate from 10 000 000 to 14 000 000 and audio from 128 000 to 256 000). Stock camera app have own media profiles so it is not influenced by change...same for photos - change compression to 100,90,80. You have instructions on xda (Ray camera hq mod). Ray on GB seems like batterly lasts a little bit longer. Settings menu looks simpler than ICS, there is no "reject call with sms" option, no data usage monitor or limit....in one word, GB lacks few ICS new features - but nothing important. ICS - new operating system that works great on Ray...but sometimes you can notice that Ray have minimal system requirements for ICS...so sometimes ICS will close your browser, launcher or app. Not offten, occassionaly! Battery last almost same like on GB. Not a big difference. If you use it - it uses battery - on both ICS and GB. Video with 14 Mbps is no go! 12 Mbps suits better. Video stabilization on ICS is no go. But there is Cybershot mods on xda so you can get better pics and video...it is very nice thing to have. Free RAM is 150-160mb... User space for apps is 400mb cca + system 150 mb cca...close like GB. ICS looks fresh and new. Have few new options and tricks but uses more RAM and performace in games seems a little bit worse. So there is no big difference in GB vs ICS. Both are stabile and great. It is more of personal prefference what you like...so try both - there is no wrong choice. For now I will stay some time on GB - becouse of little bit better performance, more free RAM, more fre space, better performance in video recording and video playback...and little more of battery juice. So you can see in my conclusion - ICS is almost to haevy for Ray! But avarage user will never notice it! Ray is still powerfull enough to handle ICS without big problems! I didnt mention new apps that works only on android 4.0+ There is reason for that - that new apps for new android use more resources (more ram) so ray maybe dont like it - Ray likes better older apps. It is better if 2011 phone uses 2010 apps than 2013 apps that have in mind phone with 1-2 GB of ram and dual core procesors... Apps Ray like are - quick pic, exdialer, dialer one, opera mini. Chrome on ICS crashes and cant even start - maybe if i did some mods to increase memmory cap...With mods and tweaks you can do a lot!

  • Its an awesome phone! Everything you need in this small package! I love my xperia ray :) its speedy, smooth & amazing ;) Just one problem that the vibration intensity is not high, i might miss any call.

  • I'm Installed ICS on my Xperia Ray in two months now. It's work good. No eny problem in my phone.

  • I'm Installed ICS on my Xperia Ray in two months now. It's work good. No eny problem in my phone.

  • Have you upgraded your OS from Gingerbread to ICS? If yes, you are also experiencing the same problem I experienced. When I upgraded my phone to ICS, I always got a black screen (although my phone is switched on). Pressing the power button many times temporarily solved my problem. Since my phone is under warranty, I took it to the Sony Service Center. After diagnosis, I was told that LCD and front cover will be replace and it will also be downgraded to Gingerbread. The technicians who worked on my phone also suggested not to upgrade the phone to ICS to avoid glitches of the system. After a week, I got my phone back, and now it's in good working condition! Hope this works!

  • I love Xperia ray very cool phone fair price and everything works exellent!! I've been using it for the past six months bt now i want to try Sony Xperia V coz of its 13mp camera,dust and water proof and slim 4G network owesome!! big up sony!!!

  • awsm

  • hoe to downgrade to gingerbread

  • 2 options, 1: visit SONY Sevice Centre 2: using flashtool hope this help.

  • SUS is better choice - install it after pc companion and use SUS to update.

  • Install PC Companion in PC, then connect your Xperia via USB cable. If not available, look this:

  • Good spesification. Seems Sony won't release another ray series. Wait for Xperia L, its better. :-)

  • how to upgrde 2.3 to 4.0 help

  • I wish to know how to downgrade the OS to 2.3 becz i dnt like the interface of ICS..anyone can help me to provide step by step intrucitons(Basic) ?

  • Great phone with perfect design and Screen Quality..the only limitation with this phone is camera doesnt hav an xtra button to click and internal memory is 420 only..

  • Sometimes playstore won't respond with edge connection. In such a situation try from app's setting. There could be some options like "update app"/ "check for update". Using which you can directly connect to Myapps category of playstore. if you are unable to connect using Edge/gprs. Try to remove and reinstall settings of your operator. even if not worked out, Factory Reset the phone. will works..... :)

  • Great phone But, Sony ,if u launch Xperia Ray Plus with only one thing - a bit bigger screen size it would have a killer response 3.7" or 4" Plz launch it or change some specs but. (With Same Look) 4"display 540x960 122x58x9mm dimensions 1.3 front cam 8mp hdr primary cam 720p is ok no prob 768mb or 1gb ram 4gb or 8gb internal with xternal card support 1.2ghz dual core prosessor Adreno 225 Android 4.0 ics Else everything is ok Plzzz launch it at 20,000-23,000 rs It would have an absolutly positive response

  • Nice and smart. It is a very good phone, with a good design and it is elegant. I have one and I used it a year. I'm very pleased!

  • Yes, it is great phone! - If you ask why is great and why iphone 5 or galaxy s3 or s4 are NOT great,..here is my answer: Ray is cheap phone, very cheap...about 200� new one! And with this cheap phone you can have GB or ICS and take great photos and HD video (and DLNA to TV). You can skype, play games, mail, edit/view documents, surf web, watch movies, wifi tether, microsd 32GB for sure (my is adata class10) or 64GB seems to work also. You can get enough space for installing apps, you can easy root, remove bloatware, CWM, GPS navigation, GPS sports/workout,...Long lasting battery,..Prety much everything you can do with expensive phone 600� and more... And all that in small, slim, package under 100gram. I am not talking that iphone 5 or galaxy s4 is worse than Ray, but if you measure ratio price/gain - than Ray wins. You give small amount of money and get a lot in return!

  • 3rd class customer care service... & guys dont take any of them .........

  • i love this phone :)

  • i lov this phone, slim and smooth

  • Its supports dead trigger?..in my mobile its lags

  • I want to buy xperia u.but it have no memory card slot.pls help which phone will be bettar sony u/sony ray?i am also a game lover.and also tell me in xperia ray nfs mostwanted (1.8gb)will support?pls help

  • On GB battery lasts 24h whatever you do...if use moderate it can last 2-3 days. On ICS lasts about same, but 3G is consuming bit more battery (i think). So it lasts 20h whatever you do and about 2 days with moderate use. Battery consumption depends on what you do. If you use 3G wifi tethering you can empty your battery in 5-6h. But if you put phone on 2G and dont use much you can get 3 days or more. Also, if you use games with 100% brightness it will empty battery fast. My conclusion is that battery for Ray is excellent, because it can last long, you can do hard tasks and get hours and hours. And if you want to get stamina - you can set it up to last for few days. On one charge 100% I can get 2-3 hours 3G surfing web and 2-3 hours of wifi tethering, calls, texting, photo and video recording... Ofcourse at end of the day I put my ray to charger. For even better battery life i recomend root, remove bloatware, decrease brightness to 30%, 2G,...(explore maybe other roms)

  • Provide some evidence for that statement! My apps works better on ICS 4.0.4. GB is great, but ICS is better (if you know how to adjust for your needs)

  • I'm in awkwrd situation.my phone is not connecting in 2g network.works only in wifi.i used it before in 2g,bt now its not connecting.what happened?plz help

  • I would recommend the best rom for you, "Viber Xperia", find at xda community !

  • Fantastic phone, I love it! If you want better performance in games and apk's then use Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) instead of ICS (4.0.4)! ;)

  • Download Aplication called ASTRO from Android Market and install it. Then just launch it and you'll see your files and other useful things!

  • download file manager frm android market

  • If I move the pics or videos form my laptop to ray then I'm unable to find & watch it on mobile....how to resolve it??

  • battery stands upto 12-15hrs normal use. a day or a day and a half with minimal use

  • please tells me its battery life

  • please tell me its battery life is good or not

  • I've been using my Ray for about one year. I've found no issue with it except the inconvenience of typing with the narrow keyboard.it's also okay because this phone's for the people who prefer smaller sized smartphone.after ics update it's not been reviewd.the best improvement I see is the improvement of the still camera (not noticeable improvement of the video camera).i must say for a mobile phone it takes remarkable photos,specially at the daytime.even in low light it takes usable photos.im so impressed with it.i compared it's camera with Sony's own Xperia acro s 12mp camera with same still shots at the same time. surprisingly theres almost no difference in the quality of the photos, other than the high pixel density of acro s pictures. both phones take.ray pictures show even more vibrant colours. I still cant think of replacing this phone. it actually does what its meant to do

  • Been using this for a more than year now, still it can run the latest apps. Even at the dawn of the quad cores I still want to have this bugger in my pocket.

  • hai frnds.. I hv xperia ray.it s high ppi phone as wel as slim,battery back s gud. it s 1ly 99grms.gud headphone effect,it support al video format. camera s excellent. the problm s it hv lw mememry bt i manage by using external sd.

  • Benefits of Rooting an Android Phone Here are some of the advantages of using a rooted Android phone. Run Special Applications After you have rooted your phone, you can run special applications that require root access on your phone. When compared to regular applications, root applications provide more features. As these special apps can directly deal with the Android system files, they can tweak your Android in more extensive ways. For example, you can uninstall multiple applications silently after you have root access using eUninstall . Run Custom ROMs One of the main reasons I rooted my phone was because I wanted to install and use custom ROMs on it. These custom ROMs bring many teaks and performance fixes and are much more user friendly when compared to the stock ones. They are optimized in performance and battery are updated more frequently than the stock ROMs. Free Internal Storage People who have low internal memory can transfer any application from internal memory to SD card after rooting their phone. There are some applications that provide the option by default. But if you want to force move an app by creating a symlink, you must use an app that only works on a rooted phone. So those were about the merits. Nothing�s perfect and there are certain caveats associated with rooting an Android device. ------------------------------------------------­--- Disadvantages of Rooting Your Android So, let�s take a look at the demerits of rooting your Android. Your Phone Might Get Bricked Not to demotivate you here, but when I tried to root my first Android phone � Samsung Galaxy S � I bricked it and it was in the service center for next 15 to 20 days. No matter how good a rooting tutorial is, it�s a daunting task and if you miss out any step or flash a corrupt zip file (that�s what happened to me) you might end up with a bricked (broken) phone. Now assuming that you are not a power user, you will have to go to your phone manufacturer�s service center and get your phone fixed. Moreover, if they come to know that the brick or semi-brick has caused because you were trying to root your phone, you might as well be charged for it. You End up Voiding Phone�s Warranty As soon as you root your phone, you void your phone�s warranty and if anything happens to your phone even when it�s in the warranty period, the company is going to charge you for the repairs. In some of the phones, you can un-root your phone, but in most of the phones there�s is no going back.

  • Android rooting is the process of allowing users of smartphones, tablets, and other devices running the Android mobile operating system to attain privileged control (known as "root access ") within Android's subsystem. Rooting is often performed with the goal of overcoming limitations that carriers and hardware manufacturers put on some devices, resulting in the ability to alter or replace system applications and settings, run specialized apps that require administrator- level permissions, or perform other operations that are otherwise inaccessible to a normal Android user. On Android, rooting can also facilitate the complete removal and replacement of the device's operating system, usually with a more recent release of its current operating system. As Android was derived from the Linux kernel , rooting an Android device is similar in practice to accessing administrative permissions on Linux or any other Unix-like operating system such as FreeBSD or OS X .

  • How to install superleggerav4 in this phone? :(

  • The look/shape/design is extremely beautiful, just need to make its internal system strong. I suggest to manufacturers, please promote this shape with advance and strong qualties.

  • I use Xperia mini running in ICS 4.0.4 (unroot), my total smartphones RAM is 340 MB. That's normal. For 512 MB is true, it's the specification, but the actual isn't 512 MB. Some MBs have been used for system.

  • its awesome phone

  • Hi, Install Superleggera ICS. It beats the performance of Gingerbread.

  • Dear whenever ur mobile light turn on itself and then turn off. it means some of the applications want to connect to internet. so just turn on ur wifi or data connection for a while and this will be fixed. this is not any problem. I'm using xperia mini st15i and the same happend to my mobile. so don't worry. all is well.

  • I bought this phone last manth .Till now it's service is great. Some times it's screen light is turn on automaticlly even on screen lock modn, but i don't know is it a problem or normal however i don't cear it. # 1 think, my phone RAM is 335MB and ROM is 420MB but they said ram 512mb. How is your?

  • adb servers is out of date killing when do the rooting in ST18i can you help me..

  • Great or i could say best design for touchscreen phone ever !

  • Totally agree! But only when you upgrade it by official way!! Option to this is, install cwm recovery, boot into recovery, use every available wipe functionality. and burn ICS rom again. Its smoother..

  • Guys, if you have this phone, its best NOT to upgrade the android to 4.0. Trust me, it will cause your phone to become slow and laggy. It's best just to stick with android 2.3 instead.

  • alrright guys! This is no word of a lie, but a mate of mine downloaded this crazy application on my sony e. ray and now the battery life is now lasting me 4 days straight with the wifi on, playing games for a few hours, calls, messaging, surfing the web etc. It shuts down unwanted apps when not needed, clears the cache on the phone which improves the ram, it's like the power saver is on constantly. BUT, the only downfall is that I don't know the name of the application, I know it's out there somewhere on the we, but don't know where.

  • Root phone and delete bloatware. ICS is ok and root is easy, there is camera mods, etc.

  • how can i delete default application? please help thanks

  • Tried with several custom ROMS and Stock ROMS: Recommended ROMS (Includes HD Video Playback, Camera, Games): 1) Rayonium v7 final 2) Cyanogenmod v7.2 3) Stock Gingerbread Cyanogenmod v10 Nightly is working fine with many google features, but performance will be low for Games and Videos. Still HD video recording is not introduced.

  • :-D very good phone

  • I got same blackout problem, then i downloaded 'screen off' widget button from android apps.. problem solved..!!

  • Its a very good phone with sleek design.Works better with GB rather ICS.The only minus for me is the size.Id prefer it to be 3.5 inches.If u want a small powerfull android this is the best value for money.Sometimes better than some 2012s dual core xperias.

  • Thanks bro for your reply, can u tell me how to toot?

  • Look i have this phone and i can say it is good but i really regret to buy it WHY ? Cuz the price of the ray i could get the xperia sola , it is better than ray , if you look for a good camera and video chat get the ray but if you want a phone for better performance ( it has dual core)just get the sola or xperia p

  • i am confused ! I need a phone experia arc or ray which is more perfect ?

  • In my opinion: This fone is uber cool... it's physical shape is totally sexy... it's camera engine and that bravia display totally awesome... Well, you don't wanna play high end games with a mid end fone... for gaming, i already have GS III BWAHAHA

  • there's a lot of back up utility app available in play store, but for complete backup, you have to root your fone first. Use of backup? just to keep your fonebook, sms, emails, apps and personal data like images and videos or games safe to somewhere else. connect your fone with pc , make sure you already installed pc companion, the companion itself check for the update and will notify you and install that into your fone... the last update is prolly 4.1.B.0.587(a)

  • Insert another mem card of 4gb or more, reboot the fone, it'll automatically restore, but i think the fone will demand another upgrade ( because of missing files so that it can regain those files) via pc companion.

  • Well, it's a FLAGSHIP model in 2011. It's really an eyecandy fone in cheap... The drawbacks are low internal memory, low user available memory which is way pain in case of games, and with ICS update you will loose the notification led functioning, you can regain that after rooting and download the app for not. led from play store. I still use that fone just because i love the fone the way it is... :)

  • you better download app for panorama feature... although i lost my inbuilt panorama cam feature with the ics upgrade, it takes the panorama shots but gets lost somewhere... so i downloaded the app... search play store by hitting "panorama"

  • how to add new words to dictionary on messages on xperia ray? pls reply me....... thnx in advance

  • I recomend just to put new screen protector over stock one - it will fill up scratches and everything will be ok. That stock screen protector is more of a brake protector, crack protector...not so much scratch protector...so maybe it is better to leave it on! New screen protector over that one will do the job - remove scratches when liquid fills that damages and scratches will not be visible!

  • Because you didnt update it right way - sus + factory reset + root + delete bloatware

  • Standard sony ericsson headphones. Ear buds style. To be honest not the most comfy, but that's personal.

  • if you didn't peel the original screen protector off, then you still have the original one on (comes from manufacturer), so peel it off and put on a new one.

  • had this phone for a bout a year now, one of the best phones on the market. battery life is extremely good, as long as you know what software to download to keep you battery life good. only big problem is the screen, anyone know any brilliant solutions to get the scratches off the screen? will brasso harm the screen. was thinking bout getting an iphone 4s but i hear they are a pile of shi*e compared to android phones. but if anyone one know's how to get the scratches off the phone, it'll be very much appreciated!

  • hi friend U just attach your phone to system through your ray data cable which is company provided. i will up grade maximum 2hrs and free of cost. but very very slow after updating ics software update.

  • It has a very unique design and the shape is also very convenient with a major display blackout problem. It would have been a cool phone if there was no hardware problem.

  • For general questions like "how to update to ICS" or "how to get better batterylife" read previous posts!!! Or google it! All the time same questions! No body reads previous posts!? There are usefoul post with links of guides, faq, software, etc...

  • For non root users if they want to run hd games without lag please restart xperia ray. And have fun

  • Which earphone are they providing with this phone ? Does anybody know ??????? Reply plz..

  • You can use also flashtool to flash desired version. After you can use SUS to repapir (install same official version). I dont know is working SUS - it was working about month or so when I did install...Maybe is temporary down. I dont know. You can try with Pc companion but SUS does better job - because you can select to update/repair from scratch - not upgrade but clean installation... and thats better for stability and bugs (less bugs, less lag). But try pc companion...if lags or bugs you can try SUS again...

  • Bro, i have face the same problem. Connect as per instruction but no work. Someone comment that SUS is now backdated, Pc-companion is the main tool. Maximum people suggest to update throug SUS. i am confused.

  • thanx for your kind reply..i have tried but could not able to connect it..i have followed the instruction but nothing happened..phone did not connect to the pc..:( N.B. i have installed latest version of SUS from sony's web site..

  • Premium quality and breathtaking design, simply best of the best

  • For root etc: For SUS - just instal SUS and follow instructions! You select your phone, connect when asked, select option "update + factory reset" or something like that...

  • plz...someone tell me the whole process of updating phone to ICS 4.0.4 from GB 2.3.4 by using SUS..i want bug free ICS in my xperia ray..plz help me..thanx..

  • Adiiii@ i have a question to u . That is which earphone they have given u whit this phone? Reply plze.

  • Have bought 4 months ago. Nice phone & worked properly. but Sony's most common SCREEN BLACKOUT problem occurred. given to service center & they said Firmware & Hardware Both functioning properly. But problem didn't solved. :-(

  • Ray is fast OS and long lasting batterlife! Skype video call works ok for me. Try SUS update/repair with factory reset. And ICS is better than GB...it is better loking, it is faster,more stabile...battery last same or maybe little less when using 3G...on GSM last long. Standby is even longer lasting on ICS than on GB. So Ray is great little device that can do a lot of stuff that big (expensive) devices do!

  • Use app vignette! Whats wrong with flash light - i find it better!

  • Is this mobiles operating system slow or faster?

  • its a LED LIGHT.not flash

  • i am in dilemma to buy phone whether xperia ray, xperia play and samsumg s advance...in ur opinion, which is better phone to buy an why? and which phone has long lasting battery from least to better..?

  • This is a better handset, but i can't take video calls or videos from Skype mobile.Can anyone tell me how to fix it?

  • why no camera auto flash when i pick a photo?

  • why..???whats the problem..??plz..tell me in details..

  • SUS does better job. Wipe everything clean. When using pccompanion thegqe can be bugs, lags etc. SUS is used when everything else fails, when you brick your phone...that says everything!

  • use pc companion not SUS , SUS is old and down sometimes

  • The battery backup of this phone is really good. The phone looks good with this app running on it:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id­=com.san.romanticheartlivewallpaper

After finishing the installation, SUS say that Switch off the phone and connect data cable with the phone by pressing down volume key... I have done all this things, after connect data cable i wait more than 10 minutes but not response came from the SUS ! I think the guys who used SUS can understand the matter. Plz help me...

  • why my phone dont have 3G mode?

  • hi mate! could you tell me how did you rooted your phone? my is 4.1.B.0.587 firmware. i found some guides on the internet, but most of them are rewieved by users as "doesn't work".

  • my previous post goes to you man. :)

  • yes, you can. i downloaded Drift mania 2 (249mb). big games are downloaded straight to sd card and it works great!

  • Sir i missed my 4GB SD CARD of Experia ray. Can i get original new one(same like missed one), with what were all company files(certificate and some other) there in the old SD CARD, which given by Sony Ericsson. Please give me good solution.

  • It is enough to do repair/update through SUS with factory reset.

  • breaking news to all xperia ray users , re download pc companion and repair your phone twice and all your problems with be stopped, believe me my xperia ray now working perfectly huh, my respect to Sony company one love guys.

  • could you play games in this phone that are saved in sdcard?

  • Try upgrade to ICS (SUS+factory reset) and you will get more space, you can than root it easy and delete bloatware and get even more space. And since on ICS my Ray didnt reset anymore. Apps can be converted to system to use that free space. Also, you can use link2sd or app2sd...but stock app2sd is ok for big games.

  • Sir i missed my 4GB SD CARD of Experia ray. Can i get original new one(same like missed one), with what were all company files(certificate and some other) there in the old SD CARD, which given by Sony Ericsson. Please give me good solution.

  • Been using it for a year now. It resets occasionally. Some say that is normal. By reset i mean it turns off then on. My issue is the 300mb internal memory. If you like games, that is gonna cuase you a lot of pain. You can transfer apps to ur micro sd, but some requires u hav them on the fone memory. Best thing about it is the display, bravia engine is way cool. Sound is also good. Lastly, form factor is a plus, its really pretty looking. Great for women, (though im a guy, those comments came from the female species) :) its a nice phone overall..

  • Not in Australia you can't.

  • I have that phone for few months now, and it does not get heat. It is stabile, no problems at all. On GB and on ICS. Now im on ICS because it seams it is ok if you tweak it (root and delete bloatware). Great phone, great batterylife, perfect size, great screen, enough space for apps... I dont know what else to say...For that money it is great phone! Great quality device! People who say that is bad, and have bugs are not up to date - it have had bugs, and if you have problems you have great roms and kernels - but if you are lazy, than there is GB - GB is safe bet. ICS works also ok! I have no reason to go back to GB.

  • u can use wechat app

  • i wnt to buy sony ray ....bt som of people telng its nt good nd havng problm lik tat nd mobile get heat also....i wnt to knw is tis mobile is good r nt to use......plx giv me advis....

  • That was ICS. Xperia 2011 series won't get Jelly Bean update officially.

  • In reply to kowshik @ 2013-01-07 19:05 Your user data that has ever added to your smartphone will be deleted including message, contacts, settings, etc, not include data in microSD, except you erase SD Card. Updated to ICS not deleted user data. I had ever done it with my Xperia mini via Sony PC Companion and my downloaded data are still exist.

  • how can i do a video call (without using apps like skype,tango etc) with my 3g connection..??i am not getting the video calling option anywhere in the menu..:( plz help me..thanks..

  • Have bought 4 months ago. Nice phone & worked properly. but Sony's most common SCREEN BLACKOUT problem occurred. given to service center & they said Firmware & Hardware Both functioning properly. But problem didn't solved. :-(

  • updating Ray to Jellybean is IMPOSSIBLE in the moment, according to SONY. Xperia 2011 release was said NOT RECEIVING jellybean update. Though they have plans of (MAYBE!)having it on FEW Xperia 2011 models.

  • Yes. It will be deleted, only if you update via phone update. But it is better in everycase use full repair, reinstall with factory reset. Phone works better then. Use SUS + factory reset.

  • no. it is ics

  • nice phone

  • if I do factory reset,will my all downloaded apps be deleted..???? if I update my phn to ics from gb,will my all downloaded apps be deleted..?? plz reply..thanx in advance..:)

  • Latest available software: 4.1.B.0.587 Release date: 2012-08-16 I have found it in sony website at xperia ray's soft update page..that means can I update my ray to jelly bean version 4.1..???

  • How much price is xperia ray in USD ? Reply plz

  • Specwise pretty much the same, but ofcourse there are the looks. It's what you prefer more. The Neo V has a larger screen (3.7 and 3.3 for the Ray) but the Ray has a better ppi density. The Neo V is also a little less compact than the Ray. Personally I'd prefer the Ray, cause of my experience I can't say other than this phone is a great phone, for a reasonable price plus I prefer the looks of the Ray over that of the Neo V.

  • it is for 190$ in Lebanon and 200$ at max. worldwide , selling at those prices at sony certified shops!

  • ray

  • Hi frnds plz tell me which one is better ray or neo v?

  • Yes, and update over SUS + factory reset option.

  • Do a reset right after upgrading to icecream. i had similar isuues (slow down, hang). now it's much smoother.

  • thanks man i didn't know how to take screenshot in icecream sandwich. # to take screenshot press and hold down volume down and power button together.

  • Yes u can upgrade the phone Android from 2.3 to 4.0.4

  • I use Xperia mini, some applications can be moved to microSD like Opera Mini, Opera Mobile, Firefox, Skype, ePSXe. Some applications that can't be moved for example Yahoo! Messenger, Maps, Facebook, WhatsApp, KakaoTalk, etc. If the smartphone had rooted more applications including preloaded are enable.

  • connect it with your computer. on sony pc companion select "repair phone". I guess that is just software fault, so I think that reinstalling it may help.

  • hi! ppi number means how much pixels per inch phone display has. bigger number is better because picture is sharper. i suggest you to compare ray and go. for me, ray is better. only thing that's better on go is that it'll get JB update.

  • before charging battery shows 69%, after charging 4h it still shows 69%.........but after restarting my phone battery shows 100%.......i am using ICS 4.04 on my RAY........how can i solve it????similarly um using hour n hour my phone but no change in battery.......after restarting phone, battery its orginal charge shows.

  • Depends what you want/need and how much money do you have...Ray is cheap and ok phone. But if you have more money, want larger screen, more RAM, space...then go for P. With Ray I have all I need and want in small package and didnt spend a lot of money. For me larger screen would be drawback, bigger pricetag also...Ray have enough RAM and strong procesor for every app and game you want. Storage is tight, but you can buy sdcard (32GB). On Ray you can get 400-500mb of space...not bad. P would be newer, stronger and better...but google for bugs etc. If price would be the same - I would still choose Ray...because it fits my needs just perfect.

  • Xperia p for sure

  • i want to buy a phone but i m confused....!!!!which 1 is better xperia p, u or ray?????!!!pls tell me....

  • No it is not in production

  • It is led light and if you want led flash - you can use app Vignette. So you have led flash AND led light.

  • How do I personalise my contact group ringtone on Ray

  • battery back up to low but set is to gud

  • How to upgrade this to android 4 OS

  • there might be base band wrong flashing..

  • just try to calibrate your battery there are apps on google play. Also... if you are on default ROM provided by company then just open the dialer and enter *#*#7378423#*#* and find battery test service. you will have to plug the charger and allow it for charging upto 100%. after that when the screen says testing .. unplug the charger and let the test complete. Test generally takes 2-4 hrs so i recommend you running this test during lazy hours.

  • I got this phone from ebay and it does not work on any of the Canadian networks... Bell, Rogers or Videotron. I really do not understand why, because Bell says that they have other users with this phone, but for me... it does not work... even checked the IMEI number, but it says NO. WHY? The company I bought it from tells me it is unlocked! GRRRRR.

  • I don't saw the pic in my raypro.can anyone help me ?i want to make my set android4.how can I do that?pls help me

  • As I've not updated the phone to ICS, I'm not sure which steps you all must take. First you need to be sure you want the update. The phone can be slower due to higher hardware requirements with ICS. Secondly, you need to install the Sony PC companion from the Sony website. After that, you need to open the Sony PC companion and connect the phone with the pc or laptop. Then I suggest just to follow the exact steps given by the Sony PC companion.

  • In all my previous posts I recomened NOT to upgrade to ICS...but, now I upgraded it just to see how it works first hand... Now I recommend to try and upgrade to ICS but there is one trick! You must upgrade in one way and optimaze with root etc. So this is my review of ICS 4.0.4 *.587 Works OK, no lag at all, works better than gingerbread, it is more beautifoul, more options (reject call with sms, freeze apps, etc)...I dont see any disandvantages - maybe that 3G internet uses more battery...but thats maybe subjective opinion. My conclusion about battery consumption is that ICS uses maybe more battery...but standby is same or even better. Talking, surfing with 3G uses battery...100-80% (20% battery drain) means 1 hour surfing with 3G and 10-20 min talking...On gingeread I would do that with 15% battery drain maybe...But it is worth because there is now easy root method, Camera driver, kernel, roms where you can benefit more than with gingerbread. But I will limit this review on stock versions with small modifications. Stock ICS can be rooted (fool-proof)! Very easy, do not be afraid - its realy click here - click there and done! Easy method od XDA and sony mobile talk forum. Why root - to delete bloatware, you can free up to 120MB on system (60mb alredy was free)- and then with titanium backup transfer apps to system (launcher, office, widgetlocker...). With deleted bloatware phone is faster, more stabile, more free RAM and space for you apps(320+130=450MB) It didnt restart on me (gingerbread did that few times), no lag. In few firs days it happened that opera mini or tapatalk was closed. low ram or something...but no more. If it is more often there is option in settings to setup managing ram and apps (how many to keep in RAM...) How to upgrade ICS: use SUS - this is must. First factory reset on gingergread, then use SUS to update to ICS (option with factory reset). After update, do one more factory reset. That way you delete everything from scratch and do new install - no update...Update with PC companion does update and mix stuff up...so you get lag etc. So my final conclusion is: try yourself ICS (update+factory with SUS). Than root to delete bloatware and do mods you want (turn on light sensor, camera drivers,maybe kernel you want...) For notification led fix - use smsAwake app (it just turns on screen for 5 sec, and led works then). For launcher i use LauncherPro - great and light. ICS 4.0.4 works ok on ray. It is modern, better. It is refreshing for my Ray. If you find ICS bad for your device, then use flashtool to update to gingerbread .42 and root it. Than update to .62 gingerbread thru phone update, over the air (OTA). -or just give it to your Sony service centar to do it for you. (no root then). For now I will leave ICS on Ray - works ok. Same as gingerbread or even better (modern).

  • Dudes , rate this phone from 1 to 10 / is this phone really good for its price? isn't it quite laggy? .. and isn't the 3.3 size of it very small ? thanks in advance men

  • then how to update to ics mr.aadrian? pls reply me

  • But if you really need the qwerty keypad, then it'll be a good option.. Otherwise look at xperia U or xperia sola.. Luks of both is awesome.. Give a try to these two..:)

  • I dont think its a good idea. because xperia pro is from 2011 xperia line up. and now its about to end of 2012. First of all, you'll not recieve any major update, and above it, now a days, u'll get a mobile phone with higher specs in that price range..

  • Well I'm from india, so i dnt kniw whethr its avaiable or not. But you can search in online store juat like amazon. Then you'll get an idea..

  • Hi.... Will anyone tell me the availablity of this phone in singapore?

  • I want qwerty key pad so what is the best 4n arround 250 $ ????

  • I used ray abouth 6 months now I planed to buy xperia pro pleas tel me that my dicession rigit or wrong???

  • thanks

  • Both are almost outdated. Go for xperia U, Xperia J, Xperia Go or if u have higher budget, then go for xperia P or S.

  • No, you don't have to change your SD. But after the update, pic size gets larger to around 2.5 MB. So if u click more pics, in that sense, u'll need a larger capacity SD card. I've heard after updating to ics, there is a display issue xperincing lots of people, thats include me. And 2.3 works flawlessly, but there is a lag issue in ics. Think before u update. PS:don't forget to rate up if this post was helpful

  • Dont post wrong information. Its video quality more than u'll ever get in this price range. And remind you, this is a mobile phone, not a DSLR. PS:don't forget to rate up if this post was helpful

  • Yes u can. pretty easy to use as a modem, Just coonect your mobile with pc using usb cable. Turn on USB tethering. Another option is wifi hotspot. PS:don't forget to rate up if this post was helpful
