[Q] Xperia T vs TX vs V

Hi ,
A few weeks back i had posted about choosing an Xperia S vs Xperia ION and thanks to the community i was able to choose the ION but now the xperia T and TX are available in the Indian ebay site. I was 100% sure of getting the xperia T but then i saw the issues of the paint peeling off which really made me unsure of what to do. I could just get the TX to avoid this and i'm not sure when the xperia V will be available. Upcoming xperia Z is beyond my budget ( I've got sour grapes syndrome for nexus 4 )
Like i mentioned because i will be getting the xperia T off ebay ( i do get the bill and 6 months warranty) i'm not sure Sony will respond to my qualms of the paint peeling. On the other hand the seller has mentioned for the TX that warranty will not cover any sony update issue. So should i go for the xperia TX instead or just get my hands on an xperia V?
The main things i'm looking for are :
- Better screen ( i'm guessing all the 3 have the same)
- Better Battery
- Better community / dev support for roms and issues.
Regards,
Rishi
Sv: [Q] Xperia T vs TX vs V
I use a Xperia V as work phone, and it is great...
No complaint at all until now...
It is used a lot every day, and is in my front pocket the rest of the time...

Can't say which one you should get but Tx is more beautiful than the T as for me. Here in Canada, the T is lte and Tx is hspa+. Don't know in your country.

Here both are HSPA+
I cannot vote as I have only seen the T.
If you have read any of my posts, you will know that I am not impressed by the compression applied to the photos. Worse than previous non Android SEs and worse than HTC, Samsung and Apple (probably worse than LG too!)
Xperia V
I use the V and it's the best Android phone I've ever tried. Slick, responsive, no crashes, can mulitask without crashes, and has the LTE (4G) speed as well. But then Sony released the Z with a better screen solution I guess.

agree what you said, just change the external SD card,
I want to buy this phone (T). I think of "ONLY" 1GB of ram.
There's already 3GB producing in factories. So...bit worried.
Can somebody (T,TX,V) tell me about ram usage. Do you really need more or you feel this is enough on your phone?

Yesterday i went electronic shop, and tried the xperia v, i was a bit shocked by the feeling. for me it feels unsexy, compared to my T. Dont get me wrong, its a good phone, but the Xperia T has an oustanding look and feel for me. I like my handy to be a bit more heavy and tough. also i like its some sort of "wide".i also prefer xperia T screensize/ relation screensize-smartphonesize
So for me its T, compared to V.
And by the way, the power is enough for todays technic. You dont need higher and higher and higher, more more more....for what?
I can get a T here in germany for 270euro, new, first hand. So i think its a really sexy price for such phone. Sure, many phones better in Benchmarks and Hardware. But lets be serious, who cares much Benchmarks, or who needs so much power?
Everybody who not like to spend 500euro for a phone, should look for it, or Nexus 4
by the way...Everybody who wants buy a new phone should go inside a shop and play with the handy in the hands, feel it. dont just look in forums or youtube hands-ons

[Q] Will Xperia Z Roms work on Xperia ZL?

Hi everyone,
Simple question - Will Z roms work with the ZL (and vice versa)?
I know next to nothing about what goes into making ROMs and Kernels, but I would guess that because the two phones have identical hardware specs in terms of the GPU and CPU, the ROMs would be flashable on either phone, but they both have different radios/antenna so that leads me to believe we won't be able to.
Can anyone say for sure yet?

You won't be able to flash a Z rom on a ZL, however they should be very very easy to port between the devices. It's like the HTC Desire was almost a clone of the Nexus One, stuff was ported between them very easily however you couldn't use an N1 rom on a Desire etc.

I do believe the Z and ZL have slight camera differences, that i about it though
correct me if i am wrong

Front cameras are different, rear cameras are the same.

IR Blaster is different. Also the simple fact that device ID's are different too... Again, it'll be very easy to port, but you can't flash a Z rom on a ZL.

[Q] “Sleep Of Death” Bug Appeared On Xperia Z

After Xperia T and Xperia V, “Sleep Of Death” issue, has also appeared on the new Sony Xperia Z. There is nothing official right now, only some testimonials, from people who own the device, in forums and blogs.They experienced this issue with the Android 4.1.2 – Build 10.1.A.1.350 installed.
I have ordered Xperia Z and waiting eagerly for it.. but after knowing all these things.. I am very much worried.. :crying: I sold my beautiful Arc to buy this grand cell.. :crying: Who else has encountered this problem?
I think it is fixed with the 10.1.A.1.434 update

XPERIA Z Customization Numbers

Coming from my Xperia Arc, now with the Xperia Z, I was wondering if someone can provide me the customization number for Generic Nordic firmware.
Those firmwares had minimal bloatware and the updates were a bit quicker in those regions (atleast the case with my Arc).
Im from India (1270-7186) so there's a lot of bloatware in my Z. It would be nice if someone could create a thread just like in the Arc forums.

[Developers] Xperia SP vs Xperia L

I have seen many developers working for Xperia SP and I am glad many ROMS have come on Xperia SP.
The device SP and L came around the same time and I understand Xperia SP is better in few aspects but Xperia L is great too.
One thing that really to be concened about is lack of CUSTOM ROMS on Xperia L. Further to misery of Xperia L, there is still ZERO working ROM build from SOURCE till yet. NO CM, NO PAC, NO AOKP or anything till date.
No standalone recoveries either!
As you know it's almost six months since Xperia L and SP have been in the market.
I wanted to know why is there so lack of love for Xperia L from developers. I have Xperia L and I am seriously considering about selling the device and buying a new one. I feel like I made a mistake when I could buy Z, L or SP.
Any developer who could be of help to Xperia L ?
Do you consider Xperia L wouldn't go a long way in development ?
You need to speak to doomlord and offer to help with testing then you will see great things happen.......
Many devs only have certain devices, can only build, make, develop with help from testers. So to make big help offer to test,give log reports etc

You can asking @uberlaggydarwin for that. I think it have plan to working on xperia L too later. Not for now i guess.
Do you want to know something? Before uber, adfad, and kali working in cm for xperia sp, this forum section is really bored.
Same like you i've ever thing too changed my devices.
But this forum section is changed when those guys released and published working cm10. Many devs showed up, almost all aosp custom roms is available in a few days.
So you can kindly ask them for working on your devices, because they're awesome!

I have to agree with this. There is a SERIOUS lack of development on xperia L. I just hate to think of selling this phone, becuase I got for an fairly cheap price and it comes with great specs. I don't get why the devs aren't interested cause tbh there's not 'much' difference from SP, well there are a couple things but yeah.. this is a great device just like sp and it DESERVES to be treated just like sp. And as for uberlaggydarwin it's nice to know that he's working on CM for Xperia L, I've been following his G+ posts and he seems to be working on it at times however he hasn't got his hands on the device as yet.. so yeah. Hopefully if any TRUSTABLE and EXPEREINCED devs are interested in purchasing this phone, I'd be more than happy to donate.

@uberlaggydarwin is working on device bring up for xperia L. Once that is done, you'll see Roms popping up throughout your forum.
