Xperia V vs. Ion impressions

Hi all,
I have the red Ion (lt26h) and now a nice black V. Here are some quick impressions:
1. Battery life: the Ion seems to happily last a few hours longer than the V. I listen to music and Whatsapp a lot.
2. Screen: the screen on the Ion seems to have better contrast, deeper blacks and the V looks slightly yellowish
3. Audio: the music output via speakers sounds better on the Ion. Via headphones, the V has more distortion
4. Camera: the rear camera on the V is sharp, fast and virtually zero lag. The front camera blows monkeychunks and feels like a bad joke - poor quality, not sharp, etc.
I'll add more as I discover them... anything in particular you guys want to know?
The Ion is definitely a "premium" phone. But the V will be with me often, especially when out in the field where I know I'll get drenched in rain.

Follow-up on battery life: in Singapore this is marketed as the "Bond Phone". It's no wonder he was uncontactable for so long!

Hehe yes a little
But seriously I´ve just got my V and it feels so and so, coming from a Note II it feels a little small and slow... I know it's a personal preference but should I stick with it or change to an Ion? ( just looking for user inputs )

Ive switched from note/note2 to V and T aswell. Loving the switch so far, running cm on the T and stock on V. For some reason the V feels a bit better in my hand than the T. The volume rocker and power button is better placed aswell on the V. Waiting to see new sony phablet aswell but so far very happy with my V minus the batterylife since im used to note2.

Is the option for location based wifi(Ortsbezogenes Wifi in germany) activated? If yes, Try disabling it.
Else you could Try flashing new Fw with FT
Sent from my Dualbooted XZ

Sometimes have problems with wifi too. Disconnects and after a few seconds it reconnects. I also have to disable and enable wifi sometimes because I haven't got any connection to the Internet anymore.
I flashed stock Rom one month ago with wiping data but nothing changed.

Yeah it is pretty poor on the Z. I will wait on reviews before I buy another Sony phone. I like there phones a lot, but the wifi quality is just ridiculous. I replaced my router at home so I could access it in the normal spots at home my old iphone 3gs worked fine. I'm not looking at upgrading for another year, but when I do, I'm going to wait, look here, see what people say. Unfortunately with the Z, no-one really mentioned it being bad prior to me buying it...
It is better with some devices than others. We got these expensive cisco units at work, and my wifi at work is crap now. The old airport was fine...

Z1 users plz help

being a Z1 users, i love it. But in less than 24 hours of purchasing it, I have sent it back to service center for the yellow hue tint on screen.
cam still has some issue, noisy pics but firmware will update it sure.
Everything else i love about Z1.
If i have to buy any other device except Z1, i would have bought LG G2, nice battery life and other specs. But I am bound to Sony Xperia phones only

I would suggest for you to wait 1 more month, let the software and support settle down a bit more

Z1
I had the GS2, GS3 and last week my Z1 arrived so i gave the GS4 to my wife and I'm definitely not disappointed but happy with the new Z1 and its powerful camera and the performance and everything. Galaxy s 4 was a very good machine, but this is a beast! :cyclops:

I was a galaxy s4 user and switched 4 days ago. First thing I noticed is how smooth and lag free this phone is. Only thing I don't like is the screen protector and not being able to remove it.

Looks like it is made by a 5 year old and Xperia T is twice in the image, 1 with YES and 1 with NO.
Looks fake to me.
Edit: And the Google edition of the Xperia Z will be updated by google of course... and don't know why it is in here anyway

I don't care anymore. OmniRom is gonna be the bomb and after my T it's gonna be a Nexus

I was going to get a nexus 4 instead of my crappy xperia t but no sd card slot was the problem. I regret buying this phone and worst of all I can't unlock the bootloader

Different strokes... Wait until you take a picture on the Nexus 4 (or from what the specs say the 5). Unlike the Sony, it is truly horrible camera.
The trick is never buy a subsidized phone, then it won't be simlocked or bootloader locked. That was an option with the Xperia T. I picked up mine for $279 at newegg.

The camera on my t is rubbish. When you take a video all you can here is a clicking noise from the camera

just to make sure what u talking about...you mean a noisy autofocus rattle sound, in videos?
if thats what you mean, i had that too with some Roms, but with omniRom its gone for me. dont know why. guess its a problem with some mic or whatever. happen for me just with some roms, not with all...crazy huh
thats your problem?

Maybe the Xperia T LTE is the one getting 4.3 update. I think the 3G one will not get the update. Maybe i'm wrong.

Neither are just like what happened to my play. A phone with specs good enough but not given the updates on purpose. If sony want to gain the market they need to release 1 flagship a year and support their previous flagships for longer than 5 months. The galaxy s3 is older and is getting android 4.3 and why aren't we?

I also will no longer support Sony's devices after this, kind of a slap in the face. They can take their T and stick it

this is what sony deserve after they screwed my over twice. First with my xperia play now with phone. No wonder why xperias depreciate so quickly

Because no update to new version and sony bad, nexus cool because google. New version is good, because it keeps on battery half hour longer/lasts shorter but better. And profiles/new function in camera which i will use two times in my life/better integration with google plus omg! And no new version means that flagship abandoned. I am betrayed. sony bad.
To be honest i don't understand it too. When it comes - it comes. If not - who cares. Update from 2.3 to 4.0 was a big deal, because everything changed. API, nature of Android etc. GB slowly died and became incompatible with many interesting apps.
But update from one jelly bean to another? Dudes... It's only features!
Please just be happy that Sony released quite recent well written Android version. It's highly optimized and allows to do almost everything that is available to 4.2 and 4.3 devices..

apart from the fact that it melts the back of your phone so hot you can't touch it

it happens when i browse the internet or play a basic game. it gets so hot that if i pick up a call i can't put it next to my ear because the earpiece gets hot
