Hi all,
i have been using this forum for some months after I got my amazing android phone. I am happy there is finally competition for good phones that are not iphones. I do not like apple's way of doing business and definitely the smugness of most people who get an iphone and think their coolness has gone off charts.
You know what I mean? People who have a need to show off their iproducts in public? I am so happy i have an android. Android people are so much fun to talk to and cool to discuss wasy to improve their phone.
Apple's best product has been the ismug What do you think? do you know what i am talking about?
Message to the moderator: i hope this is the right forum(if not please move it)
that is so true! i personally appreciate the quality of apple products, however i believe that apple products are incredibly overpriced, and their biggest advantage is their biggest downfall: Apples iron grip on their software
Lemme tell you a short story.
I am on a trip to Athens the other day and,as everyone in a large city,I used the subway to go to my destination.Entering the train,I found a seat next to a guy who looked like being 20-25 years old.He didn't seem geeky at all in fact.I sat next to him,but then he did something he shouldn't have.He pulled an iPhone 4 out of his pocket!Oh sh!t.There was also a girl sitting right in front of us,in a seat looking towards us.She told him "Nice phone you have there"(She had an old Sony Ericsson btw).He found a chance to show off then.And then,after I had lost my temper,I pulled my Galaxy S 2 out of my pocket and started playing with it.He looks at it,his eyes go wider than usual and awe was obvious in his expression.The girl(a beauty in fact) turns to my side and says "Your phone is nicer than the iPhone".Then I started to show off.The games,the screen,the effects,everything was better.That iSmug next to me turned white and got off at the next stop.The girl and I had a...nice time after that btw.
And what's the moral of the story?Android ftw!
Tolis that is an amazing story.
i think the only way to strike back at the apple cult is to make fun of their smugness
ps hi from thessaloniki
ps 2 Galaxy S ii is great
Most of the people think iProducts are COOL. It has now become a factor of an individual's "coolness".
Then someone pulls out their android phone and they're like, "Is that samsung?", "Bleh".
I am bored of listening: you have a Samsung? It looks like an iclone...;
Haha, Tht was funny and intersting at the same time

Why ppl not understand all fruit company topics will must go to off topic

Well,she did have that slutty look on her but anyway.
Generally no,girls here are NOT easy.And the worst part comes after the first two months of the relationship.But if that's the price for having sex daily,whatever.

Well,she didn't just turn towards me and talk to me.I was using my phone in a way that it was quite obvious that I wanted to draw her attention.Conclusion was that she liked it big.Don't ask me if I mean the phone.
Anyway yes,for real.

Doesn't work here in the NYC metro. I whipped my G2 out playing some game and blasting my music so everyone could hear, but then I look around and everyone has an iPhone out. Only a few android devices. And crap, I was gonna flash a new rom tonight.
I'm a Mac user, but I LOVE Android, and Linux ... I'll go into Apple stores, and show off my G2x.

This douchebag in my boy scout troop once compared his 80 gigabyte iPod to my 2 gigabyte Samsung YP-T9. Another person pulled out his 8 gig Nano and harassed me about mine being inferior. Got into a fight and quit scouting for good. Mine had an FM radio and Bluetooth.
well, every half hour here in Australia I was refreshing the nex4 16gb store page, every half hour didnt really seem to be enough, because the 16gb version was sold out here in less than 20 minutes. what its going to be like for the rest of you guys, im not sure.
also for anyone that was relying on the email going out to notify you that its availabe, dont, I never got one!
just some info there for you guys.
Frustrated that i dont have a Nexus 4 though

Hey guys, I was just on the meet and greet sticky, and I thought, "Huh. I wonder how some of these people got their user names?"
If you would like to, go ahead and post your reasons for/situations that led to/way of coming up with your pseudonym!
I'll go first.
So, I'm 17, and on that matter I'm a senior in high school.
We all know teenagers. They like to make fun. So, one day in gym last year, some girls got my original nickname, "Laizure", and, for reasons unknown, added "Boy" to the end.
This spread like wildfire. Within ONE day, the ENTIRE school, including the teachers, the principal, and god forbid, the janitor, ALL CALLED ME LAIZUREBOY.
At first, I was embarrased. Honestly, why make a nickname like that?
Then, I realized that it was a unique nickname. Nobody would guess it was my last name if used online, so it was perfect.
Now, people unwittingly scream my last name in frustration when I own them on Call of Duty, Quake, and Battlefield.
Sorry for the life story, but being a small forum community, it can't hurt, can it?
Xda a small community? Are you out of your mind? :')

Hey all, I recently bought the Nexus 5. The first handset I had to return due to screen hardware problems. The second is in fully working order. I am however not adjusting to the Nexus very well. It does not feel premium and its got glitches and bugs that are most annoying (Noise cancellation microphone cancelling out my own voice, for example..) I have just ordered the Z1 as I had the Xperia J and loved it before moving to the N5, despite it being slow and old it worked and made calls (lols). Is the Z1 problem free?

1) Thanks for the useful title, I didn't know what phone this forum was for
2) wrong section
3) If you really wanted to know if it was problem free do you not think it would be better to ask before ordering it
4) All the information about any "problems" are all in the general or Q&A section, just give them a read.
I have genuinely thanked you for your troll post as it made me laugh.

There are no real 'problems' perse. The software is pretty much bug-free. Only big thing I can think of that needs improvement is Superior Auto mode on the camera. Other that there are some hardware stuff that cant be changed (viewing angles).
Thank you for your reply. I'm not too worried about viewing angles. I know it annoys a lot of people on a range of devices but to be honest it has never bothered me. If that's the only hardware thing then I'm not worried. The Nexus 5 has quite a few and I'm just not wanting the same hassle. I already ordered the Z1 as I knew if there were problems, being a Sony device then they would only be mild.

Try going first to the Sony mobile forum talk.sonymobile.com and see for yourself, then decide again whether you will get the z1 or not.
I don't know, I saw that phone and I take ti, now I have "mild" problems but for me they are not mild.

offP: Dont take serious about that guy gregbradley. he thinks he is the father of xperia phones. encouraging people, disrespecting people etc..
really an annoying guy. you can see all his posts, then u can understand his mentality. this is a forum for helping, studying etc.. some guyz like gregbradly only making this forum unstable. and he thinks he is a bighead. i hope xda review his posts and cancel his title " Recognized Contributor " or ban him.. dont care abt him.
Anyways, We cannot say Xperia Z1 is problems free.. No phones are 100% perfect, so Z1?? Some common issues on Z1 are, Display yellow tint (not all the phones, but some), touchscreen, lil low sound, bootloader unlock .. all can be fixed.. even bootloader problem if you take a backup of TA before unlock the bootloader.. so dont worry about anything,. just buy and experience the premium device.. you can see the fixes on this Z1 forum.. By the way the viewing angles are not an issue.. in my phone angles are pretty good.. Best of luck.
Thank you Azam. Your advise has been helpful. I now have to choose between my Note 3 and my Z1 when the Z1 arrives in an hour.

Have you seen what he has commented on recently, and what I too have seen starting to overflow the forums since 2012.
Stupid questions!
I'm talking particularly about those who come in an registers as member just to start a new thread to write or start bickering about something they don't understand.
At the same time there is a thread two inches down that explaines it all.
You can't expect every skilled person in here to make a 1000 word essay everytime someone asks how to get in recovery etc.
Someone needs to be told that they actually have to put in work to get what they want.
In this day and age where the internet containes so much, it boggles my mind that they don't even know how to use keywords on google.
Yet they don't even think twice before jumping in and bricking their expensive device, ignoring all warnings in the process.
It is nice that with alot of members, developers has a bigger audience to test their stuff and get feedback.
There are of course many more advantages, but I'm not going to name them all.
The members I'm thinking of are quite easy to spot. You can see they haven't invested any time here or contributed/participated.
They just come in frustrated, questioning and swearing over what a bad buy, should never have trusted this company etc etc.
To feature some experiences and such I think is quite ok, especially in accessories and apps.
There isn't exactly a shortage of android forums, why can't they share their feelings there?
xdaDEVELOPERS anyone?
I'm not trying to give the impression that I'm a developer, and I am thankful for being allowed here at all.
But I do try to read up on stuff, so as to save the time of those poor souls who actually bothers to help the people who don't want to help themselves.
Just wanted to say that I have received my Z1 and straight away I can see the quality compared to my Nexus 5 and Note 3 is amazing. Such a good solid build that fits well in my hand. Noticed the yellow tint on certain webpages people have talked about but as the screen is capable of showing white pixels, I'm guessing this is a software bug that will eventually be ironed out. And if not, its not something that would bother me.

Kindly test also if you have the touchscreen problem.. I think that the yellow tint and touchscreen problem dont co-exist. You will have either one of them or a black screen or overheat OR a perfectly working Z1
