Okay will try. BTW randomuser111 were you able to connect your phone with your TV? I mean using the connected devices app?

One question.

Is our bootloader unlocked? Do some of the phones come with unlocked bootloader?

Nope as far as I know we all got locked bootloaders. The XPERIA S will have it unlocked once it gets the AOSP update.

Also, all Nexus devices have an unlocked bootloader (correct me if I am wrong). Cheerio!

The Nexus S has a locked bootloader. However, it can be unlocked via a simple command in ADB.

No Xperia device comes with unlocked bootloader and will not. AOSP update will be available only to those who unlock their bootloaders.

@comp@ddict

Sources. Wasn't I right about the September 29 ICS release date ?


@sam9953

Does your TV have DLNA ? Only then it will work.

 

[comp@ddict]

No point unlocking the bootloader/rooting for me right now. Waiting for custom ROM so that I can taste Jelly Bean

^^ MIUI is out for Sola, I need to root and unlock the device asap.

Planning to buy Sony Xperia U by next week. I am also happy to see that the price has reduced from 16300 to 14700 on flipkart

Can I call this UI looks really 'chunky' and not in a good way.

But I am glad Indian devs are behind it.

P.S. -- no love for the go will have to twiddle my thumbs and settle for stock scraps. =[

It's MIUI Theme, not MIUI ROM. Have a look at the thread again

^Yup it's MIUI Theme based ROM and not the actual MIUI ROM.

On a side note, official ICS is out for Xperia U in India. I updated mine just now.
Will report back after playing a bit with it.

Yes you will be able to do that, but you need either a UWA - BR100 wifi adapter for your TV or you need to have a LAN cable attached to your TV so that you have internet connectivity and then you will be able to stream the content.

KDL-40EX650 : EX650 Series : BRAVIA? HD TV (LED & LCD) : Sony India

 

[sam9953]

Nice one. For how much did you buy it and did you get the dongle for it? How much did the dongle cost you?

 

[randomuser111]

@comp@ddict

That's a really nice TV !

Do get the extended warranty on it within a year. For 40 inches it costs only Rs.3000 for 2 years extended warranty ( 1 + 2 )
