          Xperia U,P, SD card (OTG mod,otg in verysmall
          form)

          Hi all,
          Such devices like Xperia U,P.... iPhones,
          and some other devices which have no
          external storage but USB OTG supported,
          can use SD card or pen drive with OTG.
          There are many kind of OTG cables, but it
          is very hard to carry an OTG cable & a card
          reader all the time, so i am thinking of an
          OTG with card reader in a very small (as
          small as it can be) form which can be carried
          all the time.
          the card reader will b stored(may be fixed)
          with the back cover(as shown in the pictures)
          .
          i am usuing very small card reader slot, thin
          wire(like insulated copper coil wire), a tiny
          siwtch(on/off).
          pictures
          http://d-h.st/4xT
          &
          http://d-h.st/NU4
          As we know, in OTG pin 4 and 5 are
          shorted so i am usuing a tiny switch, when i
          switch on, the pin 4 & 5 are shorted & the
          cable will work as OTG, & when i switch off
          it will turn as a normal USB cable, so there
          will be no Battery Drain.
          i am trying to configure it ,but having
          problem when soldering the wires with the
          micro usb male port.
          The connections are so tiny, so it is very
          hard to make it alone, i tested it in a bit
          large form & it workes, but in small size as
          shown in figure it becomes very hard to make
          it ,,,,,,,
          i am requesting you all to try it & make it
          by yourself,
          if we can make it personally i think one day
          such cables will b available in market in very
          stable form for all usurs.

            Kevin, 03 Feb 2014You do not under any circumstances, want to upgrade the sof... moreI would agree. Unless you have a pressing need and/or are willing to experiment with custom firmwares, leave it well be. Stock ICS basically works, but there are lots of performance issues around it that will almost certainly mean you regret upgrading. Mine got officially reverted by Sony when it went back to have its touchscreen replaced, and it's never been happier. You can also revert with Flashtool, at your own risk (root/bootloader unlock NOT required), so long as you can find the correct stock firmware for your region.

            If you MUST upgrade, best use Sony Update Service software. Note that you might not be alerted on your phone when ICS update is available in your region. You have to plug it into SUS or similar to check for certain.

              Kevin, 03 Feb 2014You do not under any circumstances, want to upgrade the sof... moreThe official upgrade to android 4.0 turns the phone to a real shit.

              The solution is to flash the smartphone with a fresh official android 4 rom or a cyanogenmode 11 rom. You will not loose your data but make a safe copy!

              Now my xperia U is as fast as it was and I am happy with. I installed a fresh official sony android 4 rom

                You do not under any circumstances, want to upgrade the software on this phone. I did, despite there not being any issues with performance and it turned into an expensive paper weight. It lagged badly and I couldn't pick up calls or be heard by callers amongst other problems. Had the original software restored and the phone is back to where it was. Good value device but leave it be.

                      Great phone i agree that the phone will be slow at some instances but even though when compared to other brands with same specifications or with higher versioned specifications, i feel xperia U is best when compared to both economy & looks & specifications!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE XPERIA!!!!!!!!!!!

                          sohail, 27 Jan 2014does it support 3g network sims .. like mobily of SaudiaYes this is a 3G capable phone and supports highspeed 3G on 900 and 2100MHz. Mobily uses 2100, you are good to go. However i would recommend you get a newer phone than this, like Xperia M or L or whatever, Xperia U is already old and slow due to low RAM of only 512MB.

I know there is sort of a beep when you receive message during a call but if its there when on silent i dont know. I do however know that this beep is only in the earpiece and is not audible to anyone else.
