i will list the problems experienced with SP:
i) low call volume on speaker. in noisy places i simply cant hearing anything.and i have perfect ears.
ii)apps frequently killed due to some RAM issues.This is the biggest problem with this phone I think walkman gets killed sometimes when opening chrome tabs on chrome X(
iii) for me, battery life is not as expected.

Will the battery drain?
I'm using sola now with JB rom drains 1~5% for a night.
Do you use ram booster or any apps killer?
I never heard people got this problem...
Low call volume?This is not important for me,i always use loudspeaker.
Does the loudspeaker loud?
How about the camera quality?
FHD video recording lag?

with loudspeaker call volume is fine.
nope i don't use any apps killer or something like that. but after this problem went annoying i installed supercharger script. it solved launcher redraw issue, but still could not solve apps getting killed without reason.
i don't use camera that much, the quality is good for me, but the pictures taken are having much noise. never recorded video at all

For the RAM issue, you can set a lower minfree value using SuperCharger V6, or you can use RAM Manager Pro and set to Hard Multitasking.
For me, I use lower minfrees and now I have no launcher redraws, and apps keep in memory for longer! :thumbup:

The loudspeaker is loud and clear and I dont experience battery drain unless using the wifi the camera IMO is kinda slow in taking pic and too saturated. The shutter sound is seriously loud.
I bought this phone this week and I'm happy with it.
I had Xperia X10 before.
For me the cons are:
- Only 1GB RAM (I can live with it)
- Camera pictures - low quality in low light conditions, noise (hope to be improved in the next update)
- Front camera resolution (I don't use this camera)
The battery drain depends on the ROMS and APPS you are using. Look good to me.
Never recorded video.
Games runs well.
GPS works fine.
Screen is good.
Performance is great.
Sound/volume is normal.
Illumination bar is nice.
No lag at all.
For a mid range device I think it's great. :good:

I am thinking of buying SP on EE network but unlocking the phone is a bit pricey, so I was wondering if rooting/installing custom rom will work with any SIM as most custom roms come unbranded.
Thanks

There is no touch problem for me at all (at least I don't feel any)
The SP is a great phone, you won't feel any difference between the SP and Z unless you are playing heavy games.

I have CM7 nighties, so there is camera app, so you suggest me to use that app for filming? It film pretty good, but I am able to film just 30 in HD quality. can I extend that time? like one hour or two hours?
I tried LG camera pro app. it has a lot of options to capture picture and capture video. But I notice that when I capture video auto focus is not working, not on lg camera pro and no on camcorder (stock cm7) , just focused at beggining and then no focus ;( could it be cm7 bug?
It's not a bug of cm7 is a bug of the app.. However are you sure that with stock camera you can register up to 30 minutes?

i really ot tested but in quality section is written HD (30m)
Those written have nothing to do with the maximum recording time, the only limit is the free memory in your device

ok then But I still looking for solution about autofocus... because its not working for me while I taking video
For autofocus I don't know.. maybe is a cm bug, you should expect a fix for your rom or flash a stable version (7.2)

Anyone ever find a resolution for this? I absolutely love this phone but I'm a hardcore user of Snapchat since everyone I talk to uses it for communication and this is ridiculous. Almost makes me want to switch phonese. Does it still work this way on CM/stock tons maybe?
i believe its just the hardware itself the sensor is trying to get more light in and it makes it lag i think (im no expert on cameras) as soon as i got a nexus 5 i noticed how much smoother everything seemed in the view finder and right now i just compared them it just seems to be the way the htc one is
Snapchat uses the camera app that comes with the phone now

Mine is occasional lag.
Same problem on mine, makes videos almost impossible with low light, my Alcatel pop s3 is extremely faster on snapshat. Is there a way to fix the problem ?

Complain to Sony
Nobody here can make it better
Its putrid quality
Turn off intelligent auto its awful. Managing setting according to situation under normal mode makes a huge difference. The camera can be really good.

Oo.. Ill try

Normal Mode...play with iso and measurement and resolution...maybe disable image stabilizer...check the white balance settings too
if you want good pictures, dont use auto mode (i use that only for qick shots)
Is it, mm okay.. Tell me the settings mood

The settings depend on your shot your taking. Just remember to use a high enough ISO to freeze motion in your image. DO NOT BE AFRAID OF NOISE! It looks better than blur. I never ever leave my iso on auto.
Hello im using the Xperia for quite a while and i tried alot of sound enhancements currently using Noozoxide to kinda boost headset audio but it's no where near the quality of iOS devices.. Any help would be appreciate it.. Btw my Xperia Z is locked boatloader so modding is kinda hard..

Have you triend PureXAudio and Viper4Android, If you know to use them well, you can get a lot of output from your headset.
Boost as in volume boost? (IMHO, the Z provides deafening levels of volume when maxed out).
Or boost as in quality boost? If so, I would recommend trying out Neutron player from the store. It enhances the quality quite a bit, making the Z a well detailed source.

Just click the the last one, reboot and configure the settings for more details click here, There is a lot more that can be done with it, the thread whose link i gave you has all the details.
Bose is not high end, but yeah, it seems you just want louder sound. Don't confuse louder with quality.
viper4droid isnt working..i downloaded it from the googleplay and 2.4.4 version...but still it has no effect...either with walkman or power amp.
Menu/fx compatible mode, mark compatible, reboot.
Also use the one from the thread, the playstore one isn't official.

Will decide it after 4.3 update...but till now very satisfied with everything except the camera and wifi
The bad wifi range is very annoying also the broken auto brightness.
Hopefully 4.3 can bring improvements
It is a pretty good device seeing as I came from xperia arc which it had it's faults like low internal memory, small amount of ram.
For me the Sp had decent specs like all phones it has problems. Which phone don't? WiFi, camera, could be better, will see if new update fixed anything
satisfied except for the RAM issue.

I am happy, altho there are some small bugs I can live with them
satisfied, but annoyed with:
bad camera (i seldom snap pics though)
bad ram management (walkman fc, keyboard fc, launcher redraws quite often)
touch screen sometimes loses sensitivity (leaving glove-mode switched on solves this, glove-mode doesn't need to be activated)
no led indicator in stamina mode (wth)
wifi seems weak (tbh i think it's fine, just the signal not showing true strength)
Highly Satisfied.
What I love:
-Impressive UI, It was my first Xperia Since I've been using Galaxy before. Xperia UI is MUCH better.
-Smoothness
-I love the LED illumination lights.. (But I wish it was like before that i can customize the color for some contacts even New Message or Unread.)
-Gaming Experience..
-Fast data connection..
-Good battery Life..
-Updates..
-And of Course Active Developers of this phone. )
Downsides but i can live with it:
-Camera.
-Wifi Range.
Overall.. I am Highy satisfied with my XSP C5303 experience. )
