Hi everybody!
I was inspired by this post, so I just put some line together and created this page:
http://scavenger.ch/sonyupdate
What it does is simply check against http://fuas.sonymobile.com and retrieve the latest firmware version for your mobile phone (both C6602 and C6603).
You have to insert your own customization id/number to check if there's a new firmware available for you.
This page can be bookmarked with your own model and custom number.
Tell me if you like it.
not bad
Add a better design and make it more user attractive.
Thanks for this. Much more convenient than having to start my PC up to check.

Really? How long are you spending looking at this? It does the job just fine. No need for prettying it up IMO.
Anyway, how about you code and design a 'better and more user attractive' site?

Looks great, works fine. Doesn't need to look pretty, it does the job.

Thanks, but what's the advantage of this instead of just bookmarking the URL to the XML file with the latest firmware version?

Perhaps, but I didn't know the URL was in that thread, whereas the title of this thread made me read it and use the small tool the OP had created.
Don't worry anyway man, credit was given in the OP and there's plenty of thanks to go around. It's not a competition

I can create the update check URL for Xperia ZL if you provide:
- screenshot of the 'Software info' screen in your service menu.
- first 8 digits of your IMEI number

I'm happy that my posts are useful to other people and that it allows them to create things like this.
Thanks also for linking to my original thread.
One suggestion: since your web check only works for Xperia Z (C6602 and C6603) anyway, maybe you can even replace the 'Model' text field by two radio buttons (one for C6602 and one for C6603)
Edit: WOW! That was fast :laugh:

I will generate the URL for Xperia ZL if someone provides me with:

I need this for each model of Xperia ZL (C6502, C6503, C6506).

Hi,
This is my first thread, i'm a student from Italy and blablabla enough talk!
The final exam of my school, i'm developing an Android application, specificatly a browser, a very simple browser.
It is only for a little demonstration, can you tell me if it all works or if it has big or strange bug?
Here the download for the .apk (Version 1.0 - 25 Giugno 2011, 5.49)
Send me your feedback, thanks!
Very basic
So far no bugs, but could you add a multi lang option? Tabs would be great and remove those ugly buttons at the too or you could make out pop up.

This is the version for the exam, now i'm working to make it better (both graphic and functionality).
Anyway, i'll keep you updated, thanks for now!
PS The tab aren't simple to handle (for me) but.. I will try, i promise
Wait.
This weighs around 28~kB. Keep it that way! I mean, if I was working on something that small I'd remove everything until only the necessary ones are left. Heck, I'd even make sure there's "no interface, just the web pages".
Gestures would be a nice way to implement this idea
Just my thoughts. I randomly remembered vimperator while reading this thread xD

Hi, I made a site for the Play. Basically it's meant to host files for devs so people can download Rom's etc. If you're a dev and you want your files hosted just PM me
Here's the site: http://www.xplay-roms.co.cc
It's still a WIP but what do you guys think?
Update 04/09/12: PC crashed, lost original files but rest assured I'll try my best to get it updated, the site still works though
I would love to have a Gin2JellyBean Repository on your website
your site doesnt look that good but i wish you good luck with it
Its nice to have more places to get stuff for our xplays. Out of curiousity Is there any free ways to open a site like yours? And do you have to pay a lot for the storage for the downloads? PM any info if you have a chance. Thanks and good luck with yours.

Looks good to me. It's very simplistic, but I think that's a plus, since people shouldn't get lost trying to find where the heck to actually download the ROMs this way ;D
Free unmemorable domain, using free uninspired web template.
Not a bad effort but nothing I haven't seen 10000x before.

Hi, thanks for the feedback, I'm always interested in your opinions. As for your questions, I pay for the hosting around $40 a year I think and I just registered a free .co.cc domain. Well anyways this was just a quick setup and only a temporary design, I'm planning on re-vamping it soon.
I normally spend a week or two on most sites but this one was a quick 5-10 minute job just using a template. Anyways I'd love to hear your suggestions on expansion and development, if you don't mind?
Oh, and if you have any questions, regarding hosting your files, etc. just PM me -

AVG 2012, website is clean to me. I like how it's simplistic, easy to find stuff. Imo you should upload FW and Binary's recovery for a tools section.
Just a thought/ request.
Been a while sorry but thanks for the suggestions guys. The site is virus free I can assure you, my guess is the domain name ends in .co.cc so that's probably why it was detected as "unsafe". Anyway I've started a complete redesign and I'm uploading some new content so bear with me a while if the site isn't functional - thanks
Site looks great, however I have an option that would be MUCH more convenient .
This is my file host for a game called Minebuilder: www.fileblox.cu.cc
Its got an uploader available to everyone (you can add a password).
This would save you time uploading.
EDIT:
If anyone wants, I will create a sample site, with uploader and sample repositories (with a cool web file browser) and if all goes well, maybe myself and the OP could share our knowledge, or something if the sort
Nice! 2GB's of space would be awesome, but simple uploader has higher priority :3

you cant do that for free can you? also why does DRM matter the main reason it mattered to me was track id but now you can just use the new track id without DRM
Oh right, I wasn't aware that you didn't need it for the new trackid.. Don't you need it for facebook inside?
And I did it for free, but it was ages ago now, there was a tutorial posted somewhere on the web, I tried looking for it after my previous post but can't find it now
I just thought it would be a nice addition but oh well

Hello,
I was reading through the tutorial for Unlocking the Bootloader of my Xperia Play R800i, however when I go to connect my phone and hold the search button, my computer makes a connecting noise, however no window pops up asking about drivers. Am I supposed to hold the search button before plugging, or after? The blue LED turns on, however I can't find where the drivers would be.

If you have a 2012 or 2013 Xperia device you will be able to activate My Xperia from your phone’s settings. Once it’s enabled, a visit to the My Xperia site will let you sound alerts, find your phone on a map, lock it down, and erase internal and external storage. It’s surprising that three years after Find my iPhone there’s still no Google location service distributed with Android, but Xperia owners out there will no doubt be happy about having a first-party way to track down their phones.

Hi,
Stumbled upon this file some time ago. I thought it was pretty dodgy at first, but it gave me the ability to register blackberry ID, which i then get a reply email from blackberry.
It then proceed to "setting up BBM" and doesnt progress anywhere from there.
Sounds like a closed beta where only few blackberry ID are allowed.
If anybody want to try, feel free to pick it up in here. Pass is: testonly
Its probably gonna be released next week anyway
Nice find!
Shame we cant login
hi, where did u find this app? i think latest version is ....050 and this one is ...033...
maybe the latest version would work?
Unless somebody can hack it, it wont work...
Only certain BBID's approved by Blackberry work unfortunately.
