Greetings, folks!!!
I am quite of doubtful if i were to buy a Xperia Z, or i should stick to Samsung(S4 or Note II), because of it's easyness or not to flash custom ROMs or kernels...
I am aware of the bootloader of Xperias, but the offer is good enough to not let it go (the same for the S4 and Note II)...
Any special advice i should consider before i purchase the phone?
Thanks in advance

Hi mate,
If you really care about the bootloader and enjoy flashing roms or kernals just don't choose any Sony Xperia. In my perspective, Sony's products represent the highly innovative trend in terms of design and functions. The reason i chose Xperia Z is that i admire its appearance a lot and dislike Samsung‘s plastic texture. My answer may not answer your post but i just want to say that the choice depends on your taste and fun on the phones.
Don't, go for the galaxy, much better.

I guess it's all a preference, Galaxy S4 is newer than the XZ so it's got the advantage in terms of hardware, although it is more expensive for that reason. They are both great phones, I don't think you will be disappointed with neither of them unless you are really picky, if you can try to hold both in your hand to try them and pick the one you feel you will like more.
go for S4 or HTC one...this phone....I stand by what i said..not much of upgrade from S3 US version

I am not asking about wich Android veesion comes with the phone. And yes, Samsung's phones has crap-ware... At least much more than Xperias, wich translates in less RAM amount available (it's a fact, writing this post on my GTI9300)

Go for the S4 if you want to enjoy your phone.
Nothing special about the Z,just the water resistance and the design.

who care about crap ware...chances are you gonna flash some other roms anyway...most of the crap ware come from carrier base...at least for tmobile USA.
The only real advantage that S4 has over XZ is a battery life ,thanks to amoled display (which is also a downsize if you use the phone outside a lot).
Everything else is matter of personal choice. But as they say , changes are good in life , so why not
Luckily, i am not on T-Mobile, in fact, any USA carrier.

I've played with both the ZL (=Z I would say) and the S4 quite a bit. They're both great phones but I can at least say why I elected not to get either. I was actually 90% sold on the Z before getting the One. My big phone obsession is the screen, and that kind of makes sense given that the screen is 50% of the phone. I have been in the past and continue to be spoiled by apple's excellent screens so that's the standard I set. I love everything about the Z but the screen was a huge disappointment for me. The colors are washed out and the viewing angles are horrendous. Yeah, I know, nobody needs to view their phone horizontally, but the angles are so bad that even tilting it slightly wrecks the image to my eyes. The only time it improves is when you play a video, but the viewing angles still suck (bad for sharing a video with friends) and bravia engine is only active with video playback. The only other issue I had was the permanently locked bootloader (maybe that was just me though).
As for the s4, I really don't have any positive opinions on it. It just feels like a toy in your hand (if you can grasp the slippery damn thing ) and all the software "features" included are more or less gimmicks no one will care about in a few months. And touch wiz is, as always, a compete train wreck.
Regarding a choice between the two, I'd take the Z in a heartbeat. The only way the S4 is better (to me) is the screen because it has much better color and contrast than the Z. Few members of the public would criticize the screen the way they do with the Z. Though the s screens still have a long way to go to approach ips lcds and it's pretty dim. Even the battery life and cpu practical use is better in the Z because the 1.9gHz processor is almost constantly throttled lower because it hearts up so quickly, which also drains that big battery damn quick (and for some reason GSam reported the "efficient" display as consuming 70% of the power even when dimmed... I don't even know...
There's also something to be said about design, which one is stunning and the other is old news.

I would go for the Z without a second thought since I can't stand TouchWiz. Regarding Android 4.2.2: The Xperia Z PAC ROM based on 4.2.2 runs great and offer productive features, not all those gimmicks that are provided by TW.
The only S 4 version that I would recommend is the Google Edition since it runs vanilla Android. The selection between that one and the Z is a matter of preferences and taste.

Recently I had some problems with my rooted SGA, it restarts constantly because of the RAM I think, it heated constantly without having the charger plugged every 10 minutes, its slow with every game and some apps.
Yesterday a friend told me that his LG Optimus One didn't heated anytime, it was very fast, and it never rebooted itself and he didn't had any problem with it,

GO get SONY ! Great Support ..
If you still want Samsung, then go get their High-End Devices coz if not, you'll get a crappy support (like everyone's experiencing right now) .. they are known for that anyway ..
About LG, never tried it yet ..
For me it's either HTC or Sony.
My preference is Samsung. LG has the worst and ugliest interface I have ever seen but touchwiz is better!
And LG copies Samsung in many aspects. It does not have good software also.
Samsung.
If you have
-random restarts you need to change rom, haha
-slow ace, uninstall crap apps
Keep youre device clean and only with few apps if u want it for games.

Well from my experience, used all of them i guess
1. Samsung--- only go for high end phones. for lower end phones, support sucks. Though service centers are great and that way support is good.
2.LG--- Same as samsung. Update wise sucks but service wise sucks too
3.HTC-- Great UI. But customer support sucks
4.Sony-- Great UI. Good hardware. Best on updates. Service support good. ****
Okay, thanks for all your opinions, it seems i will change to sony but what model do you recomend to me? a good phone but not expensive like an ace's price?

The Xperia Ray is pretty good, 1 Ghz Qualcomm, 100 g, around the same price, all the above mentioned things about sony phones, better battery life, unreal pixel density compared to our ace and an 8 MP camera to top it off. In Singapore, unlocked it's about $50-80 more expensive than the ace so it's about $350++ Singapore dollars, about $300 USD estimated. It's pretty darn good for it's price.
Try to go for the latest nxt series by sony. I hope xperia sola will fit in price range or xperia P

Hi guys, I think there is quite an unbelievable offer for Austria Hutchinson users. Basically you get this phone for 69€ on a 20€ x 24 months contract. With the contract you get also 1000 minutes 1000 SMS and Internet unlimited so should be fine. Before I saw that I thought of sticking to my galaxy s for a while.
Now that said I would love to take it as long as the offer lasts, but I am concerned about 3 things:
a) i am a custom Rom user since 2 years. Never been on stock again. And I looooooove cyanogenmod! Do you think there will be custom roms for this?
b) the camera quality. While I'm not too much concerned about the video quality, I use my phone as a compact camera outside to take pictures. So how bad is it in your opinion? And do you think will it improve with upcoming updates?
c) you know something about the possibility of unlocking this phone?
I guess probably I'm asking too much but maybe someone knows better.
Thanks in advance!

It's only an okay camera, there's better, the Galaxy 3 has a better one for instance, not by that much, but clearly. No idea if this is a hardware limitation, but I'd guess so.

No idea ... but I guess with root you should be able to do more or less anything,e specially, once CWM etc are there? But I'm no pro.
We have root and CWM now, devs are working on CM10 and 4.0.4 Sense 4.1, so soon we'll have great ROMs :laugh:
And i think we'll have unlocked bootloader soon too.
Hey guys,
This phone looks really cool. I was thinking of buying this phone. I want a phone that can get rooted and a lot of ROMs. Do u think Im in the right place?
I have read a lot of reviews and from what I can gather is that this phone is a tad better than the One X and a loses the battle just barely vs the GS3.
What do you guys think? What are the pros and cons of this phone?
Also which is better looking? The white or black model?
Thanks in advance guys!

You shall like the white one. Also, your favorite food is grilled chicken, and you'll only drink root beer. Also, move to Mumbai, which is your favorite city from now on. Any other totally personal decisions you can't make I'm happy to answer, too.
Hey thanks dude!
I was asking because I've never owned anything but Motorola Androids and they have locked bootloaders. Ive never seen this phone in person and the reviews online only show the white one, so I asked here for this awesome community's opinion...
Also I like grilled chicken but prefer steak. Hate root beer, and if I lived anywhere it would be 'MERICA. Ill be sure to visit Mumbai sometime though maybe we can have a beer together.

This is not an answering machine...
Personally, I chose the LG because it has exchangable battery and micro SD slot. They both have Tegra 3 and good displays, so it's no big difference hardware-wise. HTC has a large fanbase, so you'll have more custom roms on the HOX, plus the possibility to unlock your bootloader with HTCdev. LG might learn and do something similar, but as they're not open in saying what they do, no one can tell.
I was checking on eBay yesterday cuz I want a LG O4X and saw there was a developer version kinda like the Razr has one too... can anyone confirm this?

Hello all. What about temerature of subject's surface when it's CPU 100% loaded?
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.

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!

Hey guys,
Next thursday I'll get a new phone.
I can choose between several devices:
- Huawei Ascend P6
- Huawei Ascend Y300
- Xperia M
- Xperia E
- Lumia 520
- Lumia 920
- Galaxy S2 Plus
Anyways, it's for sure that I'm gonna leave you guys. But don't worry I'll still be keeping my S Advance as development phone.
Now: my question is: which of the above phones has high battery life ( with lot of internet using ) and a nice CPU.
I know for sure that I'm not going for the Sammy phone ( even though it will get 4.4 ). And I'm sure about the Huawei thingy. It looks and feels good, but I never encountered the brand before.
Xperia M&E are outdated. And about Lumia phones: Microsoft, nuff said...

WP is a bit like marmite, you either hate it or love it, I personally enjoy it, but I don't like the Lumia's minimalist theme. Flicking through apps and settings is clean and quick, and you suffer a few less FCs than android. Who says the two can't go hand in hand? Just like Windows and Linux?
Hey, long time xperia user here from Z -> z1 -> z2 -> Z3
Right now using my Z3 with out any issues but kind of broke atm. Get a best deal to sell my Z3 & the Z3 compact is considerably cheap in my part of the world.
So, would you guys recommend me to switch to Z3 compact or go to other brand which offers rich features like this. What are the drawbacks in the compact design? performance wise will the z3 compact match with Z2?
Thank you.
Z3 is nice, but mine had some serious GPS issues. Everything else was perfect.

Thank you, any heating issues?
I just traded in my Z3 for a Z3 compact as I wanted a smaller phone for one handed use. No regrets whatsoever in terms of battery life, performance etc.

Same here except I returned my z3+ for a z3c. Best move that I have made in a long long time.

Absolutely the z3+ is just a big heavy oversized heater. The camera is not even that good it's not worth the money at all.

The most important thing is that Z3C is stable

Yes. No overheating, a true killer battery, great size and a pretty decent camera if you know how to use manual mode.
Thank you for the response guys. I just checked the stores and i was confused with the colors. I feel like the black color makes the mobile feel a cheap one.

The right color doesn't exist... it depends on many factors: your taste... and even your age, your sex, your character, the place you come from, etc...
Mine is black and I think it's elegant :good:

I still regret buying the black one everytime i look at the white one. White looks the most premium among all the variants (My opinion) . I'm still happy with my black one though. You can go for orange or green too if you want unique colours

I agree with previous posts. No overheating, the battery is great, the camera is brilliant (in manual mode), and everything works (mostly) without issue - whatever problems I have had the answers have been readily available here on these forums.
Regarding colour then I had an orange phone, which looked pink in my clear case. After the lanyard hole sprung a leak in a glass of water (as a result from taking a bunch of photos the previous day in a freezing/frozen river) I changed to a black phone and I am not regretting the switch in colour; though a green one would have been nice because then the chances of grabbing the wrong phone from a table would lessen.
Now I stay away from subzero underwater photography and all is well.
Thank you everyone for sharing your opinion :good:
Go for the White one, it looks awesome, the battery king of all smartphones
So can you all teach me how to use manual mode? This is for real..

The green one looks great though... I only looked it in the press shots too though, but i think that looks good. But if there's an aqua green or copper (z3+'s copper) z3c I will definitely get that thing right now

I set the camera to 15.5MP. The focus is on multi and also the metering. The WB I change depending on the lighting and the I tend to have the EV a tick or two below center.
When you have the time you should try and take a bunch of photos of the same subject while changing the WB and EV between shots.
I generally have the ISO on auto but you should play with that as well but the ISO only goes to 800 if you set it manually in any other mode than 8MP, but 8MP allows for 3200 ISO (the full 12800 ISO is ONLY available on Superior-auto)
The manual mode always remembers your last settings.
Hope this helps.
P.s. Here is a Ladybug larva that I photographed with the Z3C (resized because it is attached)
Now i am tempted to go the other way, and trade in my Z3C for a Z3, reason being, my eyes are starting to get old, and a bigger screen will help me out. Decisions Decisions
