Previously phone owned was an Xperia S
Materials:
First impression is phone's solidity. Almost impossible to scratch, it has a rubber coating that protects it from dust, water and shock. I hope to test this last feature as late as possible: D
Hardware:
Almost identical to Xperia S. Xperia Acro Hd got a tv tuner, IR, micro sd slot and it's ip57 certified. One meter water/30 minutes
Software:
It 'was the real surprise. II found it really smooth. Even the Android Gallery. The software provided by DoCoMo is extremely responsive and pleasant to use. With both default launchers.
Now is still running Android 2.3.7. A new update to the 4.0.x version is scheduled for July.
Features:
Really rich range of accessories included in the packaging. Beyond the dock through which you can charge the phone, there are also in-ear headphones and charger EP800. No hdmi cable*and obviously no SmartTags
Here some photos.

congratulation dude
could you please tell me how much you have paid for that and also is that have Clear Stereo, Clear bass and Clear 3D sourround sound as xperia S?
because when i compared specs. of XS and Acro S , Acro S do not have these three things even ION do not have.
also white paper do not mention for Acro s?
The battery i saw that is 1900 Mah. I really hope it's the same size with Xperia S. I would be the first one to buy a bigger battery.

ok Gigabase is a lot better unibytes was so slow.....
i got this phone as well, same bootloader status, unlock allowed : a resounding Nope!
tried SE Flashtool 8.6 and tagged it as Ion (same specs/same chips and proc, except for the screen size)...it will not even be rooted.
i hope to see a work around (and a few developments too, ehrm, like a vanilla ROM maybe)on this dilemma soon.
anyhow, thanks for sharing the link for the .ftf... sweeet!
Dear Peppoid,
thanks for the link to the ftf file. I got my acro so-03D HD 2 weeks ago from Japan which was unlocked by DOCOMO. Somehow, the non-english icons started to get better of me and I flashed it using ROM for Xperia S to get a complete english menus..I got the OS alright but since then the phone wont charge and IMEI will not show up, no radio signal as well. While putting on charge, the LED glows red but the phone doesnt seem to charge. The battery icon on status bar shows like a rectangle(the outline of battery icon with no colours/flash indicator to show its charging or at what level the charge is). When I insert the SIM, I get a pop up saying no SIM recognized.
I am hoping with your helpful post, I should be able to get the phone back to normal. I do have the original IMEI number on the box in case I need some additional help. I will download the ftf file later tonight and post the results.
Many thanks for your hardwork
Regards

Thanks to Bin4ry and other team members, please use the following link for flashtools(use the second tab "Installation" to download the file):

I had once downloaded a version 0.6.9.1 by "Bin4ry & Androxyde" which shows ARCO-HD SO-03D in the drop down and used it to flash my SO-03D.

Peppoid, would you know any unlocking service for SO-03D online? i'm still searching but yet to find one. thanks!
TommyR
Hi,
I am attaching the photos of the back of SO-03D. I managed to click open the back of it with little struggle. Here you go. The battery is 1840MAh 6.9Wh.
I did not have any good luck flashing the phone with the docomo firmware. Also attached is the error log(partially). I dont know if someone can help me with that. if yes, please do post your comments.
My phone is under warranty so I have masked some serial numbers in the photos.
If nothing works out, ill be shipping it back to DOCOMO for a replacement. Any suggestions so that they dont find out the mess teh phone is in?
Regards

Has anybody tried this with note?
Since Im a handicapped person walk with a stick, and I was not much comfortable with Galaxy Note (as it usually require both hands even for basic functions dial or read sms etc) .... and for that I purchased sony MW600 which sorted out my most problems but I've lost my MW600 recently, so I'm thinking to go for even better MW1 , which seem to be much better than MW600 (and even more costier also).
Even for normal person it seem to be good option (considering Note big size) for regular recieving/redialling/sms reading etc ....
What your take on that?

Hello friend,
I'm using MW1 headset with Note N7000, It is the best headset ever made for smart phones..
You have to install "Live manager" (available in Android market) to enjoy all the features.
The only drawback is, double click to last dial wont work but, you get the call log feature with few key stroke.
other than that - audio quality is awesome and quality of the headset is decent.
its worth buying.

Thanks for such a wonderful explanation,
For last few days I've been searching very hard to find the best price for it but can't (its not yet lauched in India, so hv to import it).... as MW1 price is almost thrice as of MW600, and comparing the features I dont think its justified .... thts y I smtime feel tht y not buy another MW600 for $35?
MW1 price Im getting on ebay is around $120 (mostly hongkong sellers) ....
Can u suggest any reliable seller with best price (with International shipping) except ebay ?
Anyway I ordered my MW1 via MobiMega.com for $117 (incl express shipping to India) .... dont know how reliable the site is but have read some good reviews about the site..... lets see.

I also searched a lot to compare both but I think one-to-one comparison of its features is hard to find as MW600 is outdated for sony, and MW1 is (as they consider) its successor.... and MW1 has many new and updated features than MW600, so its hard compare both.
Some unique features in MW1 that doesnt include in MW600 are Bluetooth 3.0, micro SD card capability upto 32gb, SMS/Email can be read on display (sms reading via text to speech),
PLUS all the features of MW600...
and yes Battery life (as sony says) is 11 hrs on FM/Phone

Hi Anupam,
Sorry to revive old thread. Can you please update your experience with MobiMega. I am also planning to order..but not sure about it. And btw did you paid any custom duty as well?
Its been a good experience... initially they shipped by toll global express but I requested them to change it to aramex (it delayed by 1 day) via their chat (Their chat is very slow... u may hv to wait for more thn half n hour...) but they responded it positively and changed my courier to Aramex... and within just 3 days I got it...
with no custom duty at all.

After ordering ask them to ship by Aramex.... because they shio it next day by DPEX (Toll Global Express).... they do not update the the status their but they ship very fast...
And toll global service is bad in India, they some time incur fake charges like airport fee etc, ... many times they call me and ask me tht ur goods are in customs if u wanna pay duty the charge will be like 1500rs, with all paper work and if u want us to bribe them then u will pay just 500 but without any paper work... (so no proof tht if it was duty or thy were making us fool)...
Happened many times with toll global whenever I buy goods frm china/HK... so now I better avoid Toll Global....
Can't say whether they do same with u because mobimega writes just "earphone" on the package which is < 10000rs... so there's no chance of duty...

Yes sound is pretty good. Go for it.
Hi. As i has both first the mw600 and now the mw1 i think i can tell the differences.
For me the best change between both is the way how the volume is changed and how you navigate through the menus.
It was always a hassle for me on the mw600 with this horrible touch line on the side. I also often accidently changed the volume.
Now the mw1 has only buttons that are placed good. U can change it without looking at it.
The inears are not perfect on both and i think the sound using the notes headset instead of the included one is better.
But the sound is not horrible. The cable from the included one from the mw1 is a bit unflexible because it is a flat one that is a bit bigger.
The radio works best with the included inears
The best features are of course the sdcard that can be inserted and the apps for the mw1.
i have mw600 n i want to pair it with my galaxy note (n7000)...
can someone teach me how to pair it..
Hey guys. I want to do a quick comparison and I need your help.
Can someone please take a pic of the back of the phone without the back cover and battery.
Basically show me what's written under the battery. I want to compare it to mine.

The battery surely isn't the right one.
What's under the battery?
It looks kinda a weird. I don't know if it should be in chinese
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
Its purchased from an online retailer that claims to ship devices from global markets. The actual battery is the correct one even though the label states otherwise. The phone was shipped with Chinese as its default language.
What concerns me is that it looks like there's something under the label (if you look closely) and that fact that it says 1300mA instead of 3100mA. And shouldn't it mention that its made in Korea like my GS3 does?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Looks legit on : http://www.imei.info/?imei=355251056775893 .
But that font used for "Made by Samsung" is so fake . Maybe the phone it's made from different components and that label is made by the one who assambled it.
But that is not the battery but battery compartment.
Mine says the same. Post booted photos and other ones from settings-about phone

i have a note 2 which i think is exactly the same as shown on the picture.
whats bothering me was the label on the back of the phone regarding the battery.
i have this phone for more than a month now. since i got i rooted it using exynosabuse and i was able to flash OmegaROM11. also before i rooted my phone it was being recognize by kies and i was able to register it too on samsung website.
where you able to root and flash custom rom with your phone?
i would appreciate your response, i can confirm if our device are legit.
If you could register it on Sammy's site, then it's going to be legit...

Yeah.. being able to register mu phone on sammy's site convinced me that my phone is legit.
However... whenI check my imei on imei.info, it says that my phone is 32Gb version but its actully the 16Gb version.
Also I saw someone selling a replica of note 2 online. There was a picture of the back showing the imei when i checked it on imei.info the imie exist...

Yes, it's 100% legit, everything works. I only posted a pic because the OP asked for a pic to compare against.
There's another thread where a guy bought a fake Note 2, and it's visually quite different from a Note 2 on closer inspection (ie. bezel size, chrome rings, button wonky, OS version, etc).

What is your question? Why does a genuine Note 2 look like a genuine Note 2? Or are you asking about the fake note 2 in the other thread?
flatronics said:
i have a note 2 which i think is exactly the same as shown on the picture.
whats bothering me was the label on the back of the phone regarding the battery.
i have this phone for more than a month now. since i got i rooted it using exynosabuse and i was able to flash OmegaROM11. also before i rooted my phone it was being recognize by kies and i was able to register it too on samsung website.
where you able to root and flash custom rom with your phone?
i would appreciate your response, i can confirm if our device are legit.

Ur note 2 is 100% legit... the 1300mA is ur charger rating not battery....... battery rating is in mAh not in mA.
So all good & Enjoy......
Hey, another noob here, hope I'm not hijacking the thread or anything...
I would normally be able to tell if it's fake through packaging, etc, but this particular cases doen't have any. IMEI matches up, baseband and kernel look legit (and wouldn't it brick the phone if that was loaded onto a fake?)... But I just don't have enough experience in this field to tell. If it's real it's a great deal
Anyway, here's the link :

Any other advice you could give me (stuff to ask the seller, etc?)
Thanks!

I think that's a fake. It claims to be an N7100, yet there are no charging pins for inductive charging, just 2 blanking plates. Also the baseband and build numbers do not look right to me.
There also should be a tiny screw below and between the camera lens and flash LED, but there's none visible on your photo.
Finally, he doesn't have a SIM inserted. I'd ask him to show pics of it inserted and the device connected to a cell. It's not impossible that this is a store demo unit, which can't usually be connected to a network.
However, at least the guy is being honest and saying he's not sure himself it its geniune, therefore selling it as a clone...
Ascend P6 is one of the most beautiful phones on the market. Unfortunately, in the upper part resembles the iPhone. The top and bottom do not play with each other that does not look too good. Is such a solution would not have been nicer?

I have purchased p6 today. I must say that im a bit disappointed .
Audio performance is poor, the phone heats up easily while running heavy task and ui is a little bit laggy.
I m disappointed because on papper this phone is relatively good.
I hope upgrading the firmware will fixed those issues ?

To get back to the original question, I think the design of the P6 is really stylish. Everyone I know has asked what it is and has been astounded it is not an expensive high end offering from what they call major players, eg, Apple, Samsung and HTC.
The top flows beautifully to the bottom where it curves round back to the top. What is not to like?:good:

Once I talked to a G615 user that has the same SoC inside it and he told me that when he turned the 2D hardware acceleration the phone just fly away, it's realy faster. To test he openned 24 tabs on the browser and the phone didn't crashed once, said it got slower but no crashes or lags. He also played a mid range game and it worked flawlessly. Maybe you have the same option in you settings menu, turn it of and see what happens.

Compared to my HTC desire X the sound is very bad, at least the headphone. I thought upgrading firmware will help so i upgraded to b116 but that didn t help.
I read somewhere in this forum that deleting system/etc/audio/codec-folder will help but im a bit pessimisrtic about this method.
I havn t tried camera yet.

Deleting audio codec folder didnt work for me, but if youre rooted, go with root explorer etc. to /cust/ folder, and find your carriers folder. If your carrier is not listed, go to /cust/channel/ and select your region. Find local.prop file, its inside "prop" folder. If there is no prop folder or local.prop file, i think your volume is best possible. Edit local prop like this:
Insert hashtag (#) in front of
ro.config.hw.security_volume=?
so it should be
#ro.config.hw.security_volume=?
AND do the same for
ro.config.ce_authenticate=1
This is very easy method, and worked for me. If this doesnt work, do that for every local.prop you find from /cust/ folder, some of them does not have this string, leave them alone. You can also delete codec folder if this doesnt work, it doesnt make you any troubles.

Those original headphones are useless , I m using AKG k 518 DJ which is relatively good but i get way better and louder sound on my Desire x than the P6 right now.
Hope the sound on P6 will be as good when the audio issue is fixed.
I got P6 on saturday so i'm familiarizing with it.

Hi everyone!
Can I trust ebay/aliexpress for new battery? Any after-buying suggestions? (ebay preferred..)
Like most of ppl, since I updated to 5.0.2 lp my battery drops from 30% to 0..
As I see it, after a lot of research and experiments, it's probably hardware issue..
Thx

Would you say it's on par with original battery, when you bought phone?
There are multiple sources online, I found some in Latvia and Spain, but they all look the same, don't know if it is worth to pay a bit extra for them.
I've just bought this phone as used, second hand phone and I'm getting ~4hours screen on time, on wifi, 3g, whatsapp, messenger, without gaming and lowered adaptive brightness. Don't know if it's worth buying new battery or that should be normal.

Often chinese batteries have those capacities are just written and batteries aren't half proclaimed capacity. But if it holds charge as original, that's whats important. Thank you very much. Do you remember at which seller you bought it, can you post link or send me as PM?

Yes.
That's a little tricky - there's 2 stickers- a brown electronic one, and a silver metal one beneath. Be sure to move BOTH to the new battery. I had some problems until I realized that.
The easiest way is to cut around the whole thing with sharp blade and stick it back in the new battery.
Good luck!

Hey guys,
I'm about to buy a one plus 3 from a guy which is selling it extremely cheap and I would like to ask you guys, in what ways I could check if the device is real and not just a replica and also if It's not stolen. I will meet with the guy today so I would appreciate everything you tell me test on the device before making the purchase. I already asked him for the picture of the invoice.. now I'm waiting for his reply.
BTW this is the picture he sent me of the device:

when you meet, ask to plug it in to a outlet, if it dashcharges, its real.
or
open bootloader by turning off phone and press volume up+power, it should be named someting ms8996 or something like that.
Whats the price?

I saw you comment and first off I'd like to say its already a chinese branded phone and very modest company, not your usual suspects for making "Phoney." (pun intended) Also I do not own the phone yet, but since you're cautious I'll still help you out.
When I buy phones from untrusted/unknown parties I always meet them in very open public places and look them in the eye when they're talking, looking for signs of anxiety or hesitation.
Now onto the phone itself:
pop the sim tray out make sure there are 2 slots (real oneplus 3 has 2 slots). okay
Go to settings> about phone check the imei with this: https://swappa.com/esn (its free and trusted site)
pop one of my sim cards in and make a phone call. go back to settings> about phone and check the baseband, model number, build number etc. and make sure they are correct/up to date.
go to the camera (usually the stock app) and I test photos and videos.
turn on bluetooth and make sure it searches for my headset which i have on at the time.
Open a web browser and see how fast the app opens and open multiple tabs and different websites in each.
For a phone like this I would feel the quality of the build because most knock-offs just don't feel like "real"
and LAST but not LEAST go to settings> security and check the fingerprint sensor, (how fast it esponds, if it responds at all, nothing is for sure but chances are very slim that a knock-off company is putting a high quality fingerprint system in a knock-off phone. I do all of this while talking to him/her about how the yankees are really sucking this year, and telling them my fantasy football team is better than theirs by a long shot.
I sure hope this helps :fingers-crossed:
Check the Android version. If it says Nougat, then it is obviously a fake one.
Thank you! Isn't there an app that can check if the phone is real? Like all the internals and camera module? I heard there's one with the name similar to AIDA..
Also, could anyone post the latest settings page where I can see the latest build/baseband and so on, please?
Thank you all

You could easily get 300 euro for OP3 so for me the real question is (and it should be your question as well) Why would the seller throw away 150 euro? Why would anybody do that? Nobody would unless something is wrong.

Looks real. Exactly like mine did whwn I got it. But what's to say that's what you will receive. Especially at half price.
Buy using a reputed site and pay using a known payment method.
That way if you do get cheated will have some way to get your money back.

If you can get internet... Download the Geekbench 3 from playstore and run a test and you should get around 2250+ singlecore score and 5400+ multicore score (If you can only download geekbench 4 then score is around 1700 for single and 4000 multicore)
