The Z Is a great phone apart from few software issues (which Sony are trying to fix) The only hardware issues i know of is wifi signal not briliant but bearable and! not really hardware but still the backing can come un glued.. loosing water resistance...

Im Not really planimg on using the water resistance so thats ok

Strange you should mention that, I'm (trying) to port Sense to Xperia Z.
I don't think it will work.
Maybe some other member could do it?
I'm too busy.
I have seen this sort of thing many times. The usual result of porting sense is a partially broken really buggy ROM worth nobody's time. Not saying its impossible, but its a ridiculous amount of work especially if you want it to be stable. Best way I guess is to port it from a HTC device with similar hardware, then at least half the battle is won

I would not say that as the LT28at is perma locked with no fastboot. I suspect the T Mo Z is the same way.

i guess will find out :good:
That's it its going back to the store. Its a 2012 phone. Its not polished its half ass. It can't compete with HTC one and GS4. I can't believe I wasted time believing this time Sony made it right. The whole phone is crap camera, screen, the power button looks like a nipple. Sony is gone. Sorry guys for being hursh. Its just I wanted some quality but it was not it.
I got mine yesterday. I'm impressed with it so far and I coming from a S4. I had original Evo then switched to Sammy for the I think all of the Galaxy phones. Also had a HTC one but wanted to try the Sony for something different. Yes I have issues. lol
I purchased this phone yesterday and I have to say I'm not impressed at all. Coming from a Note II this feels like a really cheap phone! The battery is the most important feature of a smartphone. ..this phone lacks this feature among other thing. I switched back to my Note II and as soon as I return from my vacation the phone is going back to T-Mobile!

Moving to moto x??

I know that on paper the moto x is just a "mid range" device and i love the htc one in every single way...but sprint and its crappy service is even worst with my one. Idk if is just because is metal but my wifes galaxy s3 get better sigan everywhere we go. I heard motorola is really good with radios and anthenas and to be honest is the only phone on sprint's line up thats not a crappy samsung or an icrap that i would like to get...anyone has any input on this?

Well allegedly there is a bug fix coming for how the one handles the 3g/4g switching. I would wait and see how 4.3 works.

Well I would at least wait the couple of weeks and see if things improve rather than splurging and buying another phone and paying an etf.

Honestly, even with the features on the Moto X, the HTC One is the better phone. If I had my upgrade today instead of two months ago, I would still go with the One. Just my opinion though. Go to a store and try out the Moto X. See which one you like more!

I experience the same issues as you. Wife's s3 holds onto signals better just about everywhere we go, Wi-Fi included.
the customization options for the Moto x had me drooling...until I noticed that was for the AT&T variant only.
I would hold out until 4.3 drops for sure.

My wifi speeds are slower on my One than my S2. It's probably the metal but I don't think the iPhone has this problem. My speed test shows that I have 16 Mbps but the pages load as if I am getting 1 Mbps. Weird. Hopefully this is addressed in the 4.3 update if it's fixable

Flash a ROM and lock it in roaming, enjoy great service until you get that termination letter. Switch carriers...profit.
Why would you downgrade lol

I dunno about moto being the one who makes good modems/attenas, but I know Samsung is known for having very good ones... I don't know why you wouldn't even consider a GS4 or a Note 3. Hell, if you're gonna switch carries why don't you just keep the ONE??

I don't know why people were calling this a software issue. I think the software issue they were talking about fixing was the blur.
Is the X unlockable? After the photon/atrix fiasco I vowed never to touch another Motorola device.

I switched from the moto from the One today. I switched because of the purple camera issue. 4.3 didn't fix it. I have to say I like it a lot more.
720p screen isn't bad at all, can't really tell. Its thinner than it seems in pictures. Runs really smooth. Cam is alright but havent taken any outdoor pics, just indoor so it may look better outside. The touchless controls and notifications aren't gimmicky, you'll use and like them. Moto assist is pretty good. The only thing I miss is the speakers in front.

Don't know why you would do this without trying to fix your ONE first... It's obviously a hardware issue, not software. You can do all those things on the ONE so technically it is a gimmick. You basically just downgraded.
Its the second one I've had with the issue. Just got tired of it. Doesn't feel like a downgrade at all. Only on a spec sheet comparison. Its not aluminum but built very nice, feels great.

No, actually. Active notifications alone are a god damned good reason to never go back to my One. It's life changing. Touch less controls are fantastic. AOSP + those two things, boot loader unlockable, rom interchangeability with all carrier, equally if not more smooth experience than the one plus better battery life, higher resolution camera, and the phone is repairable. My one will stay in my backpack as a backup phone, thanks.

To root or not to root

Well I've been a good boy since I have had my one well all of 2 days. I am fairly curious about the rooting possibilities and what types of tons are out there to try.
I have always rooted every Android phone straight out of the box but decided not to with this one. I'm enjoying the stock feel Bart life is really good haven't run out of batt in 24 hours YET.
Since I'm new to HTC devices any tips from you guys before I **** up and brick it lol
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
It's safe to root right away, maybe give it a day or two more to see if it has hardware defects.
This is a hard phone to brick in my opinion.

Love Sony only Ubuntu touch keeps intresting me.

I love Sony since my p900i. Joined xda in the x10 days and moved to,arc s, xperia s, xperia t, xperia z and now z1.
Really love Sony the only problem is I'm curious about Ubuntu touch.
Is anybody else here interested, or am I the only with xz1? And developers maybe?

EDIT
sorry you do have a Z1.
Please post in the correct section,(I have already asked the mods to move it)
i would love to see ubuntu working on my z1. But only if it works flawless. if it's a beta or something, then i lose all interest
I'm rather interested too, I am going off Sony's attempt at Android skinning, since the update to 4.4 I'm not liking it.

Really? I find it quite good looking, specially compared to the other three big android manufacturers(Samsung, HTC, LG)
It could use some polish though and more animations

Oh don't get me wrong, Sony have done a much better job with it than the likes of Samsung and HTC who have butchered it!

Though HTC is not bad
Samsung And LG are the ones that truly butchered it, touchwiz and optimus UI, those ugly mother******s really need a serious update
