Upgrade from Arc.

Hey guys,
I want to buy a new phone and im thinking of buying the Xperia T. What's important for me is the batterylife and the screen. Ive got an arc at the moment and i know the sony screens are awesome so i.dont worry about that. But the battery life,.is there any ex-arc user here? Is the battery life better or worse? I use 3G all day and i mostly get through the day with 3.5 hours of screen usage with the arc. Can the xperia t give me the same result?

Battery life is fine for me, I go all day and have some battery to spare at the end of it.
Have you seen the thread here
**DEVICE SUGGESTION THREAD** -- Not sure what device to buy? Ask here!

How much do you use your phone? Do you use 3G? Also, are there any major issues with the phone?

I dont really go into all this battery life stuff, but rest assured I have data and wifi and blutooth on all the time. Display is on its brightest, sync is on its most frequent and I use/flash a lot with it.
I have no complaints

I upgraded from an Arc S. XperiaT is better in everyway. With regards to battery life, my Arc S would last about a day where as my XperiaT easily lasts 2-3days with a fair about of music(speaker, bluetooth, ear phones), photographs, bit of web browsing, all syncing on.

sony liveview for galaxy note 1?

guys i am planning to buy sony liveview, is it working in our note 1 (n7000)? i there anyone using it?
Is it battery eater for our note?

I've got one and I've used it on my Note 1. The battery drain on the phone is not a problem it's the battery on the LiveView that's the problem. It only lasts about 4 hours.
I'm trying to get a cheap Sony Smartwatch.
If you have any problems then feel free to contact me.

Really? It only lasts 4 hours? Even if it is new? Why is it in the specs it says that it lasts up to 4 days?

It also loses connection quite frequently too.
It honestly does last for only 4 hours. Unless I've got a duff one with a weak battery.

It does and it also loses connection when the phone and LiveView are together.
If for example I wanted to go to the toilet and that is leave both Note and LiveView on a table in another room or take them both with you. Neither are ideal.
I'm looking at getting a Sony Smartwatch I think the time remains if it disconnects.

I have problems with the HTC one

I have the HTC one and have such problems.
Build quality just sucks.
Screen sucks because there is a scratsh in it now I had the optimus black with no gorrila glass with no scratches :/ .
Sometimes I send a sms and I send 1 sms.
But the person I sms to said he had it 2 or 3 times .
Input of charging sucks almost broken :/ .
Idunno why but I never lat him fall or anything else I really take care of it.
And already 2 times he didnot charge :/ .
So if I'm lucky I'm gonna change it to a sgs4 or what do you people think about it?

I`am super happy with the One running ARHD 12.1 and stock kernel. Ruuning smoothly and fast, good batterylife and great radio reception. Maybe you have a somehow faulty device.

I think he's just trying to stir up trouble, as it would be extremely unlikely for all of these things to happen, no way would his battery be draining that badly, and he keeps mentioning the S4, so just leave him to it

2- in my findings phone A is not more likely to scratch then phone B. Its all based on time, use, situation and pressure. If your Optimus was in the situation the One was in then it would have scratched as well.
3- this is a network issue. Me and a friend with an iPhone were in a low signal room. She has AT&T I have T-Mobile. I started receiving double texts from a friend she didn't. A few minutes later she started receiving them as well from different people. Its a network issue plain and simple. Likewise with your second post I would get a new SIM it sounds like it may be detective.
4- if its really broken (only use the official HTC charger and cord to test) contact seller/HTC for a replacement.
1- being an all metal device the One has higher standards then a plastic device. The 'defects' the One has such as gap are still well below the tolerances used for plastic devices. Even with all that the build quality is still leaps and bounds better than 99% of android devices. I think your feeling is based on your other perceived issues.

First off all
I always had a good signal never problems somehow now he even doesnot wanna connect I putted my SIM card I'm my other phone and it worked so that's number one.
About my usage I'm really secure and look after how I'm using them my optimus black has fallen 3 times really bad but not scratshes with no gorrila glass so thats just weird for me.
About charging I always use the one of htc.
And my battery life is no 4 hours my bad sorry it's 8 but it's still lower than first (ididnot upgrade to 4.2.2)
And first I could minimum 14 hours
At least Idunno if the black one is better build maybe I could change it to that version.
And just about HTC one people Iknow face problems to it's just I don't wanna buy a phone For 550 euros what has this problems it's just not acceptable that's my opinion because idont wanna send my phone back to a service center and wait 3 weeks or a month For a new one or fixed .

My phone has no problems other than having to keep an eye on the battery. I keep screen brightness low and use the power saver and it's fine. The phone is fast and works great. It really sounds like you have a defective unit that you should exchange for another. Best of luck.

When you power on the SW it connects automatically if the bluetooth on the phone is already switched on! It lasts 3-4 days with normal use

I'm thinking of going to sw2 though.. And the post above me is true. I have no problem with it in terms with battery and connectivity

I just bought SW2! It's perfect! So much better than the SW1

Now my xperia z just updated to 4.3 is it still suitable and good for sw1? Because sme says aftr updted to 4.3 it have too much issues....

[Q] Will a battery help my S3 Mini?

Hello XDA!
Okay so I have the NFC model of the S3 Mini (i8190N) and in need of a battery. The reason being because the phone just keeps randomly rebooting like all the time now (say if I am at 90%, it will randomly reboot and go down to below 5% ). It never used to do this and I have had the phone for not even 12 months (Around 8/9 months now I've had it). I'd like to think its the battery that is the problem as I have done a "battery test" like spinning it around and placing it on a flat surface and it drops. My battery has 4 pins (not like 3 pins from the original i8190 model).
Sorry for if some of what I have said doesn't really makes sense (haha ) but If anyone has any help they can offer me, it'd be greatly appreciated!
P.S: I was looking at the original NFC battery on Amazon which is about £10 (as that was the only one I could find with 4 pins lol) and was wondering if that'd help anything?
Sent from my GT-I8190N using XDA Free mobile app

I also bought the 3-pin instead of the 4-pin one for my I8190N, it just losses NFC connectivity. It doesn't bother me since I don't use NFC. If you need the 4-pin one, might need to buy from original Samsung center which will be quite expensive.

Wow so you can use a battery with 3 pins (in a NFC model with 4 pins) and it'd still work?
What about this battery then? Would this be okay to use? Would it stop the reboot issue also? http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00A89528S?pc_redir=1408125233&robot_redir=1
Edit: Ordered the battery earlier so here's hoping that when it arrives, it'll work fine!
And sorry if the first part was a dumb question xD

buy a new battery, this will solve the problem
Se ti sono stato utile clicca sul tasto Thanks rotfl

Yeah dude. Recently i was in same situation. Just go and buy an new battery and use only stock based roms. Higher than 4.1.2 will cause battery defections.

Thanks guys for the replies!
I'm using R Mod v3 at the moment which is obviously based on stock 4.1.2. That will be fine to use right?
