hi guys..i m using samsung galaxy s 2...i switched from sony xperia S because of its 144gm weight and un easy grip due to its sharp angular edges..galaxy s 2 is very light weight and easy to use and handle but i dont like sansung at all.i am a huge fan of sony handsets..i m a little confused to buy xperia T.i love its design but i m worried about its weight..tell me about ur experience?kindly guide me..i dnt want to purchase xperia tx coz i like compact design of xperia T..xperia V is too fat.i dnt like fat phones..sony is an electronic giant but they are nt giving their best.a sony user is confused which phone to buy.one is light weight but fat(xperia V)..one is thinner but cheap material built and too big to use with one hand(xperia TX)..and then flagship phone which is best in all sense but heavier than all the flagship (even quad core) phones..i'e samsung galaxy s 3 (133gm) htc one x (130gm) iphone 5 (113gm) .... guide me guys...i love this phone but its tooooooo heavy...and also tell me xperia T pros and cons...thanx alot in advance
i switched from i9000 (119g), and had feeling you described for around one week, then phone magically started to feel light and handy Well, when i take i9000 i can tell difference right away, but in general it is a matter of getting used to it Its better shaped than xperia s, feels better in hand.
T is very fast, very responsive. Screen is different, i mean, i had been using i9000(super amoled) for past two years, but now i think T's colors are more natural and black is decent. After some time i noticed that side buttons position is very good, when you take phone to unlock, automaticly you get middle finger on power button. Battery better than i9000 srsly, i expected less! Sound quality is great with attached headphones(im not audio freak tho), which are very very comfty (again big surprise). I enjoy browsing without need to zoom in All games i've tried so far working great. OnScreenButtons works much better than expected, i did press them accidently few times while gaming, but it doesnt happen anymore.
In general, i had a choice of this and sgs3, which im aware is better - simply the best performer out there, and i picked T without regrets
Xperia t pros.. everything. I really really like my Sony and I came from HTC one x.
Camera is epic and even original fw was slick.
Cons .. not a very busy forum here at least not yet. That is actually my only gripe with the phone.
Weight? Are you serious? It barely weighs anything but I remember the 1st round of mobiles that altered the way you walked if you had a belt clip

Ohhh..i apologize AvRs dear...
Dear y2grae and mesior....i v ordered SONY XPERIA T....will come in a week or so...now anxiously waiting......
what about TX???? is TX better than T....i m doing survay about this confusion which to buy..almost 80% users have purchased TX coz of its slimness and light weight....suggest me guys..i live in pakistan and both T and TX will b available in next week here
Haha post earlier you said you ordered sxt ;D
I've had a galaxy s3, htc one x and now the Xperia T.
I can defo say the Sony has the best 'build quality' and the weight feels spot on.
The difference between handsets is SO minimal people, we're talking grams here not kilograms!
The Xperia T fits really nice in the hand and it's not too big either
If you find the Xperia T to heavy then I would suggest taking up actual physical exercise for a new hobby cause you might be to weak to live sorry .

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

It is brilliant, so brilliant that I moved to this from my Nexus 4. Sony UI is something I can live with for a very long time due to everything being minimalistic and close to stock but better than stock in every way. If I wanted better development I would move back to Nexus 4 in a heart beat but I don't think I will ever go back to Nexus.

Its so bad that this device hasnt got the attention it deserves. I have pm krabbapel and he said he was going to make his carbon rom in the future, and doomlord said he didnt have the device so he wont be developing for it
FXP are already developing an CM rom for the ZR so this is a good start
I do agree even though SONY has its flagship Z1 Z and Z ultra, this is the sleeping giant workhorse that they need to highlight.

Same here, I came from a Galaxy Nexus (Nexus S, Nexus One, and HTC G1 before that) and although I prefer stock Android, it lacks so many features. I found Sony's UI clean and refreshing without trying too hard. I haven't found a need to root this baby yet. My ZR on 4.1 does way more than my GNexus on 4.3 (minus the root features of course) out of the box. The small apps and killer camera are the icing on the cake. With that said, I like Sony's design and UI that I'm willing to upgrade my nexus 7 to an Xperia Tablet Z in the near future.

It might be a long shot, but it was successfully done with the Oppo find 5 and the Faux Kernal...(I think!)
What they did was organise a donation fund to get Faux the phone...after that he was happy to develop his kernal for the phone.
Perhaps you could give Doomlord a poke to see if he would be willing to accept such a thing and then ask the ZR community to take part? (Or maybe ask the ZR people first to see if they would do it...then see if Doomlord would accept...)
Random idea, could work...

xperia sp forum members donated funds to doomlord, and he developed for xSP maybe you could ask him first if he's on to the idea
+1.
Nice idea for our future.
I remember DoomLord replied that he probably won't be developing for XZR since he doesn't own the device.
Not sure if donation can help that though...
with such good specs at a low price i dont get why this is a low activity device...:crying:
yeah.. i think we can blame sony itself for this problem... I really like the ZR and I have it now.. been so satisfied with it... but, yeah, too few development.. and it will get only worst because sony will be launching the z1 mini.. which is really comparable to the zr... sony is trying to follow samsung - flooding the market with too many models that are closely similar to one another..
if someone heads up a donation box for Doomlord for him to buy the zr, I would gladly donate 50 dollars...

its not available everywhere, if this continues (very few users and low development) the device will end up like the acro S look at the Acro S forums+ the fact that almost no RC or RD or RT are present in XZR forum makes it more likely that development will die after fxp supports ends

there's 4 page development on Acro S! It's not much but still for a phone that expensive yet doesn't seem to have any great hardware it's quite much developments!
but for this phone that runs smoothly and better comparing to Xperia Z, ZL and has less size and less resolution (about 1/4 times which makes battery run double times) and less mass I think this device get fairly low attention comparing to others!! even for a developer this one must be much more exciting than Xperia Z!

sort of, however, sony priced the zr as if a flagship. truth to be told, it's marketed as a flagship in japan (xperia a), and it's no slug. still, with the relatively small price difference between z and zr, it's easy to see why people will get the z instead. the z is also released 6 month earlier.
besides, zr isn't released in as many markets as z.
as i've said before, since zr shares much with z, as long as development for z is there, zr will likely be supported as well, but without a dedicated dev using zr him/herself, it's hard to picture a very good development environment.
unless sony discount the zr significantly very soon. this is likely to continue.
(before you ask, japanese seem to have their own commnity and aren't participating in xda, so their large nos. mean nothing to us)
Why worry.. as long as there is Z development, we can port almost EVERYTHING to ZR (including ROM's an Kernels)
One more reason is that people who do contribute are not thanked properly I think.
totally agree
well i had a few devices before and now i have htc one s S4, galaxy s4, xperia ZR, iphone 5
before xperia ZR between all of my phone i would stand and say htc one s and iphone 5 have best batteries between my devices, between xperia x8, xperia acro S, Xperia go, xperia V, galaxy S3, iphone 5, galaxy s4, but now i can say ZR beat my one S battery and not only on battery it beats the battery on my one s it beats the performance of S4 it beats the options of all of my previous xperia phones, and when it comes to heat it even beats the hell out of my iphone too it hardly produce any heat in my hands specially compared to xperia V and galaxy s4.
this is an amazing device guys no doubt about it but why were we looking for development in the first place? when we had good hardware and sh**** software with cra*** software support we would come here and look for help, but we still have updates and support and this device is almost (not fully) complete it doesnt need overclock it doesnt need more battery saving options it doesnt need so much bug fixes.
the only thing it need is a better front camera which is impossible with firmware and kernels so most of all a few ports and customizations remains which is not totally important right?
when i first had my xperia acro S it didnt have any custom firmware for a very long time the only thing was available = rooting my device! believe me for a very long time it was like this.
so my advice is to take your time guys relax if something came out use it if not dont be disappointed you wont miss so much you still have a great device with so many good things on it.

This is EXACTLY why I'm still on locked BL! but anyway our device has lack of roms like Cyanogen Mod, AOSP, PAC MAN, AOSPA (Paranoid) and also bug free miui port! (which I like Pranoid and miui so much) I'm currently working on a port for miui (stock based one) but this is something hard to get! currently I'm getting bootloop at kernel and as I don't want to unlock my bootloader (I love BE2 ) it's really hard to get it booting, and I'm not sure if any developer wants to contribute or if I get any further than this but I'm trying to make it bookable at least
EDIT: good news is I just saw the miui boot screen, bad news is it's not more than 2 sec and still I don't have adb
EDIT: Do you guys have made or downloaded any rom based on stock 4.2.2? would you mind give me updater-script in your zip file /META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script
Thanks
EDIT: another good news is, got logcat ( have permission problems ) it would be great if anyone can give me an updater-script from downloaded or made stock rom (both 4.1.2 and 4.2.2 are welcome) please pm me

Hello,
I am happy user of SGS2 and I now I'm deciding between S4 and Z1. I know that Galaxy family has tons of ROMs updated regulary and how rooting/flashing works and I am kinda afraid to leave that nice ecosystem and so I have few questions.
1.: Does xperia family share developers? E.g. one ROM gets compiled to few devices by same cook? Are there plenty of neat roms to choose?
2.: Is it possible to hardbrick xperia device (by flashing wrong boot)?
3.: Are there any recurring problems with xperia family that only long time user knows?
4.: Is there someone else who switched from Galaxy S2/3/4 to Z1 - if so, why?
5.: By any chance - does Z1 support headphone remote control for iphones?

First of all, welcome to the xperia family.
1. For now, there's not much in the development. Because the Z1 its just been released this september. We still need time, let the developers do their magic. Its just about time. If u want to see for example, go to xperia arc development. You will see many ROMs available.
2. Yup. Its possible. Every device has the possibility to be hardbricked. But dont worry, as long as u follow the instruction, u wont encounter any hard brick. Ive used xperia arc, xperia s, and xperia z1, and never encounter hardbrick.
3. The only problem that i know from the xperia family is that we are late on android updates.
4. I dont know
5. I think its gonna work, never tried it tho ..

I can answer your question about coming from an S3 to the Z1! I've found the Z1 much much better than the S3! No Touchwiz lag and bloat! Sure I miss some of the gesture stuff but I'll trade the lag free and minimalist changes to the android interface by Sony anytime. Also my battery lasts much longer than it ever did with the S3 and overall I'm quite happy! You might however find the display pannel to be inferior to Samsung's AMOLED screens. To be honest, viewing angles are not as good but still ok IMO... There are people complaining about yellow tint issue with Z1 and I became obssessed with that however after a few days of use, your eyes do get used to it and even in the tests, the whites look white... its a display calibration issue which Sony can easily fix in a firmware update..Also the Xperia Z had a tool to adjust white balance which is missing from the Z1 and should be brought in or will be ported.. Overall, I'll give a 8/10.. There are a few bugs but with the last update, quite a few were fixed.. Sony will keep this up so I expect it to be perfect in 1-3 months!

I had totally lite rom in my S2 since day 1 so I don't mind touchwiz, you can get rid of it pretty easily...
I still struggle with the idea of:
-having larger phone than S4, and yet
-having smaller screen than S4 (because of those stupid software buttons)
Also I'm kinda afraid of the glass... I've had some rough landings with my S2 - 1.5m landing on display on pavement, then scratching another meter on it and - one minor dent on the plastic bezel. No cracked front glass, no cracked back glass (plastic cover sometimes wins )
: confused :

If you are struggling with these issues, I think Z1 is not a good option for you... I suggest you try the LG G2... bigger screen (5.2") than S4 with roughly the same size, not glass (also plastic as S4). UI is very close to S4... G2 has software buttons but that's because the bezels are so small, it can not fit a physical button... it has the same chip (S800) as Z1 and note 3... and is 100 dollars cheaper...
Hi,
I've been wanting to buy the Xperia Z1 for awhile now but the thing that's holding me back is whether the "self-cracking" screen issue is common or not. I've seen posts of people complaining about this issue on a few sites. I'm afraid that if I do buy the phone, I'll be one of those unlucky people (all of my past phones except for my Nexus 4 have had hardware related problems) and because Sony apparently refuses to acknowledge this issue, I'd have to put out more money to repair the phone and I don't want that.
I've also seen the other common issues (yellow hue, touch problems, wifi issues, etc.) but they seemed to have fixes so I'm okay about that. It's just this screen issue so I'm asking for your help.
Thanks!

Why is that? I had the original Note and I would have gone for the Note 3 but I want to try out a Sony phone.
Also, upon further research, it seems that this cracking screen issue isn't just exclusive to Sony. Other OEMs such as Samsung are apparently having this issue too.

If you live in London I will change my z1 with note 3 and I pay the difference + extra XD...
Let me explain :
1.the screen quality is good but angel view??? Really really bad.belive me.in daily usage it will kill you
2.few roms and some people loose their phone in flashing new rom.you can see many of them in the froum
Also loosing X-reality after BL unlocking
3.battery life is less than Samsung note 3
4.Note 3 : 5.8" while Z1 is 5inch smartphone (actually 4.5 inch because of virtual soft keys?)
5.Samsung says android 5 will come out for note but sony didn't says that and I don't think that Sony will give android 5 for z1
And

2.few roms and some people loose their phone in flashing new rom.you can see many of them in the froum
Also loosing X-reality after BL unlocking
3.battery life is less than Samsung note 3
4.Note 3 : 5.8" while Z1 is 5inch smartphone (actually 4.5 inch because of virtual soft keys?)
5.Samsung says android 5 will come out for note but sony didn't says that and I don't think that Sony will give android 5 for z1
And

1. Depends on whether or not one really cares about the angle. In daily usage, you will most likely have the phone in front of your face, I doubt it'd kill you.
2. People who do not follow the directions properly and do not back up their TA lose their phone and their DRM features.
3. Battery life is just fine on the Z1, most people will have a cable with them at least of the need to charge.
4. The soft key size can be adjusted with a custom ROM or through Xposed.
5. Although Sony hasn't stated anything on 5.0 yet, looking at all of the various Xperia devices that are getting 4.4, I am not too worried about this, and if you are a ROM flasher, this is not an issue.
Or you can see other topic about the people that loose their phone by flashing android 4.3 (((

1. Yeah, I've heard that the viewing angles aren't great at all but I guess it can help stop people from looking at my screen on the train (I hate that).
2. I like to keep my phone the way it is. Not really into flashing Roms and rooting.
3. I guess that's true but I'm not a HEAVY user so it shouldn't matter to me too much.
4. I prefer the on-screen buttons so I'm fine with that.
5. As long as Sony's UI is less heavy and not as intrusive as Touchwiz, I'm happy.
But thanks for the reply! I was considering the Note 3 but I think I'd rather try the Z1.

Sony's UI is very simple and that makes the Z1 a lag free device.
I love mine and love minimalistic android. I can't stand HTC Sense, touchwiz and all that crap. The Z1 is a very impressive device the only thing I don't like are the flaps and how long it takes Sony to roll out updates for unbranded UK phones.

Personally, I thought Sense 5 was a delightful experience. My first impressions of it weren't great but the more I used it, the more I liked it. With Touchwiz, it was the complete opposite. I was excited to see so many features but over time, everything just felt so heavy on my Note. But nothing could beat the smoothness of Stock Android and I'm excited to see Sony preferring the Stock feel rather than something like Touchwiz.
