For those of you who have bought a Sony Xperia T or TL what is the best feature of the phone? What makes it stand out over other phones? I'm currently considering switching from my iPhone 4S to an Android for more storage and the TL looks like an inexpensive option for a mid to high end replacement. I've heard the Walkman app is good and so is the album app but for those of you who use it as a daily driver what stands out to you?
Thread moved. Please post in the correct section of the forum. Questions belong here in Q&A.
Thanks

+1.
Also, a phone that just works and a OEM who actually seems to have an idea what customers want. You want root so unlock the bootloader officially, you want your WiFi to turn off automatically when away from home so you don't chug the juice, you want an excellent camera, good DLNA functionality, Walkman music player, etc? Xperia T ticks the boxes.
I've been a huge fan of Samsung phones for a while but hated the camera performance so made the jump from my Note to the Xperia T. Best decision I ever made!
Also, the Note forum was really whiny and full of challenge and angst. The Xperia guys to date seem really helpful and much more friendly.
If I helped, hit Thanks!

It's market dependant, if you're in the US I think it's the TX there. Here in europe they sell the T, TX is unavailable.
Just ask your seller before but it should be ok.

Also battery drain is very low compared to Xperia S, I can use it for 1 day + with a charge, with the XS I need to charge it twice a day with moderate use !
The Snapdragon 800 has on Chip Voice activation, how I can active it?
I was saw a Video on the Qualcomms Website the people call: Hey Snapdragon and the phone turn on and say Hello Master?
Sony deactivate the function on the Software or I make some wrong?

Nice Option, I never know something like that it's possible with Z1. I am curious too if we can get this option to work.
Here : http://www.qualcomm.com/snapdragon/processors/800
Scroll down to Technology that listens you.
Tomorrow I will ask the Sony support.

It's not implemented yet. Has nothing to do with Sony. It's a new feature in KK

Very sure. The first KK phone introducing it was N5 with the Google Experience Launcher.
There are apps simulating this, but as a system cheat I rather think a battery drainer...

Ok, so the Chip have the ability to use that feature but is locked by Sony. I hope it will can be unlocked but I doubt.
Guys it's not Sony related. It's a feature introduced in KitKat. We are still on 4.3. Stop begging Sony for each and everything. Just njoy the rest of the beautiful device. There is a lot of stuff coming soon, step by step. Think about holding a device in hands witch will smoothly be able to handle all the features they introduce even in one year while other phones just give up due missing specs...

This disinformation in this thread is amazing. Then is not locked but is System related and is implemented in KitKat, if so we will get that feature.
Update Google Search to 3.2.16.1006154 and the Experience Launcher to 0.10.1.920880 and you are in the game...
Probably you don't even need the Experience Launcher but I can't understand people not using it as the tight Google Now integration is just awesome...
I made this post to let everyone share his impression about the long waited android 4.3 To our beloved phones T/TX/V
share your thoughts =)
and Gratz lets w8 for our last hope the Kitkat =D
Update
after flashing the usa FTF i just used my mobile for 10mins and seriously i got a new mobile now! nicely done by Sony
Smooth and Graphic is eye blessing just gotta w8 till get rooted and get the smaller navigation bar cuz this one is kinda too big
i love the call animation too It`s a new phone now =) Gratz to everyone
Tx Owner
First we won't get kitkat and in March our 18 months are over and Sony has yet made it to get itself out of having to give us kitkat...
Now 4.3. I don't know I expected more. SP got the gloves mode for example and I don't know whether it is just the Vodafone version why aren't we getting an update center?
The cam looks good but lacks of functionality, for example the tap to focus and make picture is gone and the auto mode being chosen every time I open the app is not really optimal.
The lockscreen is a bit rudimentary but we all knew that before yes we got widgets but honestly what do they offer if I have to watch out not opening Walkman or when swiping left and right. Better optional app buttons and to have them on the lower screen half.
Then the Docomo status bar better than what we had before but definitely many steps behind other uis in that case.
Worst for me is that the buttons for navigation are almost third of the screen... Would it kill Sony to make that customizable?
My main parts I'm not yet updating and waiting for the modders to do their best
My Impression
It snappy ,looks nice ram usages is poor I don't know about battery life yet , sound quality seems to be enhanced :louder ,deeper bass, higher treble all round improvement P.S. for those who don't know first start up will be a tad laggy
Rep
It feels much faster than 4.1.2. I love the lockscreen and the design

I took the share your thoughts part as invitation to share my thoughts on both subjects mentioned.
And I advise you to just let people have their opinion and if I needed to release my frustration over that subject respect that too. Otherwise get out of the internet as you'll get offended every second website you visit.

Your not the first one to complain about it I just want to hear about the update not about the one we're most likely not going to get that's a hole other thread.

Maybe no update centre is a hint that we will not get updated to kit kat?
Stamina mode and camera
- Stamina mode looks like its 2 versions back. It lacks of customization which is in SP and Z series. Besides the (inaccurate) timer there is nothing new. That mode was previously in 4.1.2 just now it looks better.
- Camera - first impression is that it makes better pictures in low light conditions but I cant find settings in menu for resolution and quality - itll be nice if someone tell me where it is.

I passionately hate the current Xperia lock screen. While I like using other lockscreens, sometimes the default lock screen over-rides it anyway, I think when memory is low. I know I can use a pin, pattern, etc, but I want to be able to look at my phone for a very few short seconds without all the fiddling. Worst Xperia lock screen yet. Even the X10 lock screen was better.

It doesn't?? Now that surprises me, considering the new walkman app is included in the feature list, and the new walkman app (at least for the SP) does have built in music unlimited :-/

Thanks! haven't noticed that
to me it seems a bit laggy compared to the .278 leaked version
i see a few bugs
First of all, what happened to the stock browser. is it android policy to pass to chrome in 4.3? I dont know about you, bt i dont feel any butter maybe the firmware still needs to get the hang of the device, vut for the moment it feels a bit laggy. Most important: What the hell happened to the volume bar?! i press the volume keys and ony a small grey rectengle appears, no indicator of volume level, i can hear the beeps increassing volume but i dont see it, and if you are in an app like RR3 it doesnt work! anybody had the same problem?

Looks like we might be expecting it in June for those of you who are patiently waiting everyday sitting by the computer waiting for some news... LOL
http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-s6-edge-android-5-1-update-607950/
Check it out, so far from related websites that I have been looking up, June is hopefully the special month.
I figured we were close after that edge 5.1.1 leak. This is good news but it's sad that even though tmobile is obviously in the testing phase for at least the s6 edge, they don't have it listed for any phase on their update page.

I can't wait, personally. My experience has been abysmal considering the heat this phone is packing, hardware wise. RAM management problems galore. Like if you took my N5 pre-5.1 and turned it up to 11. The most infuriating part is the keyboard getting killed halfway through typing in a search, or having my music stop in the middle of a song.

yeah, this is the worst android experience ive ever had. 5.0.2 on the s6 is terrible. i have never seen such unresponsive clicks, slow loading times, blank start up screens, slow keyboard in all of my prior phones (my m7 is definitely faster than this phone for daily use). I blame google. Not sure how much blame should be placed on TW or T-mo. but its ridiculous.
Did any of you come from 5.0 on the s5? This is a night and difference over the S5. Though I certainly wouldn't complain about my S6 and Moto 360 both seeing 5.1.1 at the same time, right now it is kind of like a race.

Hi guys,
I'm testing the waters and want to see how much have the Z4/Z3+,
and how much of you have a rooted device and want CM13/AOSP
Thanks
Well, I'll be working on it (and own the device too).

There are at least three teams i counted, at work across the platform, AOSP/CM/REMIX etc..

Well, devs need users and testers for feedback, testing, development, ideas and more
You (talking generally here) want something - you need to get off your high chair and either show some initiative and work toward a common goal
or keep whining and pretend to be entitled to judge and have an opinion of others that you virtually know nothing about - well great, but that does change exactly nothing (and causes abound frustration to become even more)
Or do you expect that miraculously out of nowhere without any work of preparation, thought and development - there pops out a ROM and is immediately 100% fully usable
Thanks to @moonbutt74 and his tester(s) for getting this in a close to daily driver material state,
There appears to be issues with microSD (external storage) detection on Ivy (Z4/Z3+) SINGLE Sim compared to Sumire (Z5) SINGLE Sim,
so that currently doesn't work
I don´t think the Z3+ is a bad phone in any way. I think Sony screwed up the release and promotion of it alot when they named it Z3+ instead of Z4 (like in Japan). They also very quickly released the Z5 which didn´t have the heat issue.
I come from a long line of phones with great community developed ROMS (HTC Desire, HTC Desire HD, Samsung S4, Moto X) and I have every confidence that this phone could be great too if the devs got all the files and info they needed.
