Did you even TRY to search the forum first?
Old, old, OLD news. Don't try to put anything in there, it's just a hole and you'll lose your SIM.

WOW THIS IS SO GREAT!
Kidding... Did you check the forums?
This was discovered like on day one, in addition it's just the slot with no tech underneath, so if you try to put a sim card in it it will get lost inside the device and never be seen again.
In addition this has nothing to do with android development of the device ;-)
Cheers ;-)

lmao.. I hope you didn't put a sim card in there. It's just a open hole to the inside of the case. Anything you put in there will just rattle around the inside of the tablet. The wifi models DO NOT have the cellular device installed.
but is it usable though?
EDIT: nevermind.. stupid question
omg this is great guys, I just found a hole on the side of my tab that my USB drive can fit into!

I accidentally the whole tablet!
while this seems funny (well yeah it truly is) I had the back off of mine the other day (I took pics meaning to post them on iTweakit,com).
It got me thinking what was "missing", as in how hard would it be to add "the part" acer puts in the 3g version, there were no connectors, or non soldered points I could see, so I assume its a different logic board.
Anyways if you did happen to loose your sim card in that "hole" you can remove the back by carefully using a spluddger (this is a plastic screw driver intended to prevent marring the plastic) to gently pry it away from the clips. The thing is screw-less. I started around the dock connector, after the first "pop" the rest detaches fairly easily, you can use your fingers to continue prying. As a warning, remove your microsd card b4 attempting as it sits in-between the back and the logicboard.
Also I caution not to mess around with the microsd slot, I somehow damaged it slightly so it won't keep the card in unless I try to "click" it in about 20x at slightly different angles, so as far as I'm concerned I have a 48gb tablet now, as I won't be removing the sd card very often! At one point the card launched out (microsd slots are famous for such launches cause of the spring pressure), popped me in the eye ouch!
Yes, you have to be careful about sd.. I broke my sd card when disassembling the device (left the stupid thing inside). Anyway, with scissors or a screwdriver you can fix your sd slot. Usually any problems happen because it gets bent and either the card gets stuck or is too loose
Interestingly enough, there does seem to be a strange void space next to the battery, with two screw slots. Perhaps someone with a 3g model could take some pictures of their devices internals?

Quote of the year
Anyone up-to-date on how a sim card connects internally? Could this port be hijacked for another purpose? If it's just empty space with blank solder points we could throw in another card reader (SD) or some other random piece of tech.
somewhere deep inside, I still wish the title was really true!

A 3G modem is supposed to be installed into the pci-express slot. On the wifi-only models the slot is not soldered and probably the pcie controller as well, although I didn't look for it.. But there's a lot of space inside so with some mad skills you can solder a usb hub and connect it between the pcb and external usb port..

Possibly the most beautiful piece of equipment you will ever see!
This jig was made out of bits n bobs I could find in my garage. I only made it quickly and was going to order one instead but I'm off work with a broken foot so made this beast this morning. :/
Oh and it comes with a case!
[UPDATE] mk1.5 has arrived. Take a look at this beautiful piece of equipment. I think I could charge at least 20p for it If i was to sell it. What do you think?

Yea I'm a Sparky. Its much more satisfying in making something rather than buying one.
Hmm heat shrink would be a good touch but I don't think I got any. I could always strip some insulation off some cable and use that instead though.
I'm thinking of putting this bad boy on YouTube and showing it off in action lol. I'll post a link here when I do.

Ah that is a variable resistor. I used that because the other 3 resistors didn't equal to 301k ohms. So with that I could adjust it to 301k perfectly.
Oh and its adjusted using a screwdriver.

Haha hey mate. It's an on-going project. You can use it for you galaxy s if you ever need to borrow it.
This is going to be basically a review, not a tutorial, of what I experienced after I re housed my R800x in white and the steps I went through to get it done, I have no prior knowledge on the process, I simple "went for it" and had success.
~~ Please Note: Performing this can seriously damage your phone and if done wrong will possibly permanently destroy your device, please read everything and do everything slowly, Please understand you may attempt this at your own risk, you have been warned! ~~
For a good understanding on how to tear your Play apart and not break anything check this video out, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3n5ZfkqhzE
You can find the White Housing I purchased in these 2 links
The outside of the screen (digitizer) as seen in First photo
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Touch-Scree...&otn=2&po=LVI&ps=63&clkid=7007674525043897251
The White Housing Top , Middle plate, Control pad plate and Back as seen in the Second and Third photos
(I have seen a cheaper one since I bought mine, but this is the one I bought)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/FULL-Housin...500747?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item27bf9d978b
This link is another R800x thats branded Verizon but I doubt it having the service ribbon sticker (for lack of better words which comes into play later) because they dont show a back view of the Middle plate
http://cnn.cn/shop/sony-ericsson-xperia-play-cdma-black-housing-verizon-branded-p-12588.html
After getting your parts and watching the video you should be where I was at in Photo Four, my phone torn down and the new pieces ready to make this r800x look great.
Photos Five and Six -are close ups reviewing it all.
Photo Seven - is where I started, the touch joy stick pcb ribbon. It was kinda scary thinking if i rip this thing or pull to much that the touch pads wouldnt work anymore, and thanks to ShadowGun I was able to verify they still did. I used the blue tool for prying the phone , to help peal back the ribbon as you see it, you can give it a decent pull with your fingers as you get enough pealed up, try to pull as close to the glued end as possible so you dont risk tearing or something.
Photos Eight and Nine - I had finished moving the touch pad ribbon to the new white control pad plate and started removing the Menu, Start and Select buttons and transferring them to the white plate. Using the blue tool again sorta scrap up the backing to each of the; Menu and Start and Select buttons, it helps to push from the other side on the button a little. You need to try and not to deform the sticker/glue piece that holds the buttons in place or it might Not stick to good on the new plate, a sweat gripping moment that I first thought would just never work but patience does pay off in this step.
Photo Ten - it was all done, that piece at least.
From there I moved onto the the Middle Plate, which required a few steps if you decide you want to swap these out. One in particular that left me clueless for a few days without service, bare with me on this part..
There is a black Antenna sticker on the Bottom half of the Middle plate on your R800X, which has a gold ribbon on its opposite side that finishes a circuit, without this circuit completed your phone will Not have service and dialing *228 will not work your phone will tell you, in a mans voice "The code you have entered is in-correct please check you code and try again" - The first time I heard that I was thinking hmm thats probably not good and Verizon told me "thats not programmed in our system, you should Never get a msg like that or a mans voice" So I had them send me a replacement ( Of course I didnt mention this was all my fault and I re housed it, and thats the real reason I wouldnt go to the store to have it checked out, but that shouldnt matter right )
Upon getting the replacement phone I, for somehow the first time, Noticed the black sticker antenna on the back of the Middle plate. I grabbed my original housing and noticed the sticker antenna on it as well, so I pealed that off and revealed, to me which was previously unseen, this gold ribbon connects a circuit with two terminals on the phones mother board. The gold ribbons two ends slide into a slot on the Middle plate, underneath it to make the connection. I replaced this black sticker onto the new White Middle plate because the back of the L1 and R1 triggers are White and they are Black on the original Vz housing.
Photo Eleven-Shows the back of the New white trigger Middle plate, no black sticker antenna
Photo Twelve-The Middle plate from the Verizon replacement
Photos Antenna 2 and Antenna 3-These are the other 2 antennas also needed for service, be sure to pull those off and place them onto the new middle housing of your new phone.
For the r800i and r800a they have another antenna on the middle plate (I just dont have a photo :crying: I have an r800x) I can tell you at least that if your holding the middle housing and the Antenna 2 is on your right, the r800i/r800a other antenna will be on the left side of the housing.
Photo Thirteen- I wanted the White triggers so I super glued the black sticker antenna back on, worked out pretty good if you ask me, minus my thumb print of course. .
Photo Fourteen- I circled the inside area of the Middle plate where the you can see the opposite side of the gold ribbon that makes the connection with the mother board of the phone in the top half and you can see its not on the New Middle plate in the bottom half of the photo.
If you decide to go ahead and swap the Middle plate, you will need to remove the speakers as well and I cracked my original plate removing the left speaker, they are in there pretty tight, I basically pryed up on them in anyway that I wasn't destroying any part of them. As seen in Photo Fourteen
In Photo Fifteen I was now ready to replace the Top half of the phone and put the new Digitizer on. You wont need any extra glue here, the New White Half of the housing comes with a clear plastic film on it (sorry I had already removed before I took the photo) that was protecting some glue, thats seems to be holding up pretty good a week later and I dont think it will ever come off. Once you have replace you new Digitizer on the new Top half of the White housing, you are ready to reverse the steps seen in the Video linked at the beginning , once you have completed that you will be enjoying your newly housed in luxurious White and Silver Xperia Play as I am in the Final Photos.
I hope this helps, this was the first time I tore a phone apart physically and might have my "names of pieces" wrong but I tried to explain it in a way that makes sense and simple to look at. I do wanna make a video or something because I think anyone looking to do this would benefit more from a better "visual tutorial" but I dont have much time as id like to and this should serve good.
I hope in anyone who decides to go through with this, and enjoys having a white Xperia Play like I have
That looks awesome!!! Mind taking a couple photos of the screen and with it powered on to see how good this after market screen is? Awesome job and the white looks nice and clean.
I bought my Xperia Play in white so this doesn't apply to me. But you did a great job there ! looks brand new !

I can definitelty take a few photos, I only replaced the outside of the screen, the actual lcd is the same from when I got the phone, the after market digitizer is just as clear an still allows the screen to keep its nice crisp image, Ill take a few photos later on though and update OP.

Thank you! I wish Verizon had offered it in white but figures they didn't, I makes it all that much more mine now though.. custom rom , kernel, and now housing I like it so much more.
Thats sweet nice write up. I'll probably do mine later this year or next year after the case and screen gets worn down and scratched up a bit more.
Thanks for this,
Would you reccomend cheap cases as I have seen diffrent colours (blue,orange) which I wouldn't mind trying.

The black sticker completes a circuit that is needed for service. Idk exactly what circuit it completes but the sticker has a gold pcb type ribbon on it that makes contact with two pins on the motherboard. Without the black sticker in place your phone will boot with no service. I didn't find out until after the fact and if you look in my photo where I glued the sticker back on you can see its a little mangled but glued it down flat and my service is just as good as it always was . Well as good as 3g can be lol .. But to answer your last question as long as you pull the sticker off slowly and don't rip it you should be fine. The gold ribbon on the bottom half just can't be torn in half or the circuit won't complete. But it peeled off without tearing for me, just take your time and you should be good to go.

The sticker is covering up the actual buttons on the phones mother board that are L1 and R1 triggers. The L and R triggers are connected with metal rod, wound up with a small spring.

OK, Tell me what you want to know and I'll tell you.
I guess that most of the people are interested in screen quality
I have to tell you that I was terrified, when I first turned in on. It looked like the one that I saw i Sony Center. Totaly washed out colors. No blacks etc. Than I changed wallpaper to a picure with lots of black, and Tada!! Beautiful black and contrast!!!!! Sony just changed colors of the whole UI, so there is no black, only gray . Apps and wallpapers look great!
were there any memory card (micro sd ) inside the phone ??? 2,4,8,16,32??

Yes, I have seen it myself in real life and can confirm this. The screen looks much better then people expect. Plus that everybody now has their "expectations" set to low, they will be even more impressed. I mean come on, would you really think Sony would put a TERRIBLE display in their flagship? They want to capture the market, you are not going to do that with a terrible screen.
The screen is SHARP, BIG, BEAUTIFUL. Indeed, Sony has chosen a lot of gray instead of black (bottom nav bar + status bar + background in settings). That's not a washed out screen, that's just the colour Sony chose. I can understand people are confused by this, I was as well. But when I saw the screen in real life, I saw that's it's a good screen. Yes, the viewing angles are not as good as the S-LCD3/HD AMOLED screens, but it's not THAT bad as some pictures made you think.
I think that the XZ offers so much that those "not perfect" viewing angles can go to hell

I think that the pre applied ones shouldn't be removed, and are quite thick and difficult to remove. So if the screen protectors in the box have normal thickness my guess is that it is to protect the screen protector from getting scratched. A scratch protector for a scatter protector

The phone comes with anti shatter film its not a screen protector and you are advised to put a standard screen protector on top of this pre applied film.
Hey all
I just unoacked my 2nd Z3+, but I thought Ide share this with the community....
The reason Im onto my 2nd device is because on my 1st Z3+ the camera images had a cloudy ghosting to them and some chromatic abboration.. but what ive realised now is... all Xperia devices are shipped. with the white frosted protective sticky films covering both the back and front of the Xperia that you peel off..
However when I did peel them off I noticed they leave behind a tacky oily residue on the the REAR glass back which is on your fingers when you first use your Z, probably why the back panel gets all "finger marked up" out of the box , but I now wonder if this is also on the camera hence why I got cloudy images.. I dont mean the Display screen itself as the xperia comes with a screen protector already on it, so thats ok..
I just gently cleaned my camera glass with a lint free cloth and a touch of water (no soap) or lense cleaner and it seems to be taking great shots, so if your finding this yourself, give that a try... I will say ... its not the best idea to clean any camera glass too much, as this can cause its own problems.. too much rubbing can build up static which attracts lint and dust particles, also smearing from the cloth.. use a lint free cloth, Personally, Ive found a quick clean every now and again is a good practise
Just thought Ide share this
Nice suggestion. I've had a Z1 compact before, and I'm looking forward in buying Z3+ to replace it. Do you recommend this device? Does it overheat?

Yes, It overheats while gaming, browsing & using camera at top back of the phone. The heat is a bit higher than normal. Except that it is wonderful phone. If you concern about heat, ignore this phone else go for it.
Average battery
heats tooo much...till 46deg celsius... at that temp its lag a bit
Except all this its good mobile....
Camera is awesome
I rooted mine, debloated and installed project skynet. No lag at all and sits comfortably 35-45 which by modern standards is acceptable. This is a thin phone too remember.
My Z3+ is E6553 Rev. 5, which came with a fast charger in the box, and Ive found the heat is not as bad for me as alot of people have been reporting, I only shoot in 1080p video as well... and yes while is does get hot, its not untouchable... so maybe my Revision is an updated one.
I do really like this phone, its design and UI. I had considered a Z3, but SONY no longer support the Z3. I prefer the Z3+ for its wider camera angle, and extra modes, I know the Z3+ still uses the SONY RS sensor, but i read they had updated the imaging algorythms and changed a few things. Also the bottom mounted USB port.. (the usb covered flap on the Z3 is infuriating). Also I find the overall volume is louder for both ringer and music as well as the speakers being moved to the edges so they dont collect as much gunk and pocket lint.
Yeah.. its a great phone. Over here in UK you can buy for about £250 - £300 sim free, so its a great buy

Its on the side of the box.. its got the Model, and a few bar codes.. IMEI, Model Code etc or, inside the box, there should be a set of bar coded stickers (you know the ones you stick on the device if you need to return it for repairs)... should be on there if not on the boxc.
Good wishes bro.... @NightOrchid bro can u show us a pic of how to chk that rev5

I dont know exacly, but looks like rev 5 is the latest one. But somebudy said that rev 4 is for single sim version and rev 5 is for dual sim version. That could also be possible.

Hi there, today i got my brand new z3+ single SIM Rev. 5. Nice package... Glas Screen Protector, USB OTG Cable EC310, Smart Cover SCR30, Charger EP880 with 1500mA, Sony MH750 Headset, Micro USB Cable EC803 and a 30 Euro Gift Card for "HelloFresh" dont know what that is xD. The Phone itself is a little bit sticky, but after a clean with a damp microfibre cloth its perfect. I dont know why here on XDA some people ask for a Kernel with D2tW, its in the Stock Rom integrated already ("Settings->Display" on the Bottom of this menu).
