Recently I had some problems with my rooted SGA, it restarts constantly because of the RAM I think, it heated constantly without having the charger plugged every 10 minutes, its slow with every game and some apps.
Yesterday a friend told me that his LG Optimus One didn't heated anytime, it was very fast, and it never rebooted itself and he didn't had any problem with it,
What smartphone brand is better?
Samsung or LG
Or if you think another one is better than this two ones, tell me your reasons please, because im thinking seriously about changing my smartphone (Android) and phone company... (México Telcel, its very expensive...)

Yah I agree with him ^^^
GO get SONY ! Great Support ..
If you still want Samsung, then go get their High-End Devices coz if not, you'll get a crappy support (like everyone's experiencing right now) .. they are known for that anyway ..
About LG, never tried it yet ..
For me it's either HTC or Sony.
My preference is Samsung. LG has the worst and ugliest interface I have ever seen but touchwiz is better!
And LG copies Samsung in many aspects. It does not have good software also.
Samsung.
If you have
-random restarts you need to change rom, haha
-slow ace, uninstall crap apps
Keep youre device clean and only with few apps if u want it for games.

Well from my experience, used all of them i guess
1. Samsung--- only go for high end phones. for lower end phones, support sucks. Though service centers are great and that way support is good.
2.LG--- Same as samsung. Update wise sucks but service wise sucks too
3.HTC-- Great UI. But customer support sucks
4.Sony-- Great UI. Good hardware. Best on updates. Service support good. ****
Okay, thanks for all your opinions, it seems i will change to sony but what model do you recomend to me? a good phone but not expensive like an ace's price?

The Xperia Ray is pretty good, 1 Ghz Qualcomm, 100 g, around the same price, all the above mentioned things about sony phones, better battery life, unreal pixel density compared to our ace and an 8 MP camera to top it off. In Singapore, unlocked it's about $50-80 more expensive than the ace so it's about $350++ Singapore dollars, about $300 USD estimated. It's pretty darn good for it's price.
Try to go for the latest nxt series by sony. I hope xperia sola will fit in price range or xperia P

After being very happy with my Xperia S and Xperia Ion, I was eagerly waiting to get my hands on the TX, so was very happy when it arrived this morning!
It's a beautiful phone - photographs don't really do it justice, and it has a nicer feel in the hands than either the GSIII or the One X. Came with 2 NFC tags, a decent pair of earphones, and the usual factory-installed screen protector.
The screen is beautiful, without the super over-saturated colours that are on the SIII. Camera is also excellent, but have only taken a couple of shots on it so far.
Can't really comment on the battery life yet, although it does drain quickly at the moment - possibly because I haven't yet given it a full charge.
Only problem so far is that Gapps aren't installed on it - unsure as how to work around this so will have to research!
Have attached a couple of pics so you can see for yourselves.
:highfive:
So jealous. This one is without LTE right?
I would miss LTE
I'm not sure to be honest, but it doesn't really matter anyway as LTE isn't available over here anyway.
Forgot to mention - the TX also comes preinstalled with all the Bond wallpapers, themes and ringtones as the T does, so both models have them!
All I remember is difference from TX and T was the LTE lol

Er...I'd love to help but I wouldn't have the first clue on how to make a video review, and I'm sure listening to me drone on about the phone would impact Sony's sales so greatly they'd be forced to shutter in a month!
I bought it in China, and paid RMB 3050 - which is about 300 GBP. Unlocked handset.
Been playing with it all day, it has the fastest Internet Browser of any phone I have used yet, and is super, super smooth - I can't wait to see what it will be like when Jelly Bean comes out!
:fingers-crossed:
I thought it was a need to bring from China. Now, I saw more Chinese online shops but I don't understand their language so makes it hard to buy it. The best solution would be to ebay in English but do not have that. Maybe you can help for me?

It's not a carrier branded phone so he probably means the official Sony method works.

Hey guys, I'm thinking of getting an Xperia Z soon but after doing a bit of research, it seems like this phone has a lot of pretty serious problems. This article mentions the most common ones:
http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/sony-xperia-z-problems-bug-fixes/
Well, I was just wondering if these problems still exist? I know that most Sony phones have problems related to WiFi and poor battery life, but is it especially bad on the Xperia Z?
Also, are there any other more serious problems I should be aware of, such as the sudden death problem (which apparently is now fixed?) ?
What are you doing with your phone mostly? do you have any other options?
in my opinion you should look for something else, but xperia z does its job very well (except POOR pics quality...)

I don't really use my phone much, mostly just txt and calls, light web browsing and gaming.
I don't have many options, mainly because the other alternatives are expensive. I'm considering this an option because someone is selling it cheap 2nd hand, and it's within my acceptable range.
wow my friend , this article is pretty old
all of these issues had resolved by sony updates
the phone work like a charm since fabruary , rooted and unlocked bootloader
battery life is averge but good standby time

Well, that's good to hear. I just wanted to make sure, because from the many comments I've read, many people have had serious problems with WiFi and battery issues. It also seems a pretty well known problem among Sony phones, similar to how HTC phones have had display, WiFi and overheating issues.

Xperia Z is an beautiful beast, and with unlocked bootloader and custom ROM (or de-bloated / tweaked stock) / custom kernel, the battery life is simply amazing.
Get it and tweak it after your usage patterns!
Z is awesome... Is got it for myself n dont regret it a bit...
But the choice is yours... U should b satisfied with wat choice u make... Its just like a gud wife
~Zapped From X-Zed~
Had the s3 before I got my z and I like it unlocked bootloader running jellybam rc1 4.3 runs sweet battery life is roughly 15 -16 hours average use with WiFi on most of the time iv had 17.5 with half the battery left I have had no issues with it in the 4 months iv owned it

To me it is bad as there is a slight difference in quality then it not work properly, if not at all. We need concrete facts of what Unlock Bootloader damage on our phones and what, how the features still working. That what I didn't figure out yet.
I already unlock for a while to try doomlord kernel, x-reality i can't figure out there is different but camera is bad when unlock bootloader condition especially in low light,there is lot of noise , after relock i test in the same place and light and i can completely sure that bionz work on locked bootloader

Ive actually explained this before so i wont do that again. But here comes a theory why ppl belive the features aint working.
The cam stopped to work completley pre 4.3 right ? Ye back then the Bionz was affected hence the camera didnt work with unlocked bootloader. The camera itself cant work if the Bionz chip aint there. Google for image processing chips for cameras in general and find out what it is.
Although, Sony fixed theese issues with KitKat and here it comes, brace yourself. If you google this you will get ALOT of answers about it. Everyone suffered from bad quality photos since KitKat was introduced(even the normal users that never fiddles with their phones). So, NO it aint the unlocking of the bootloader that does it. Sony fixed all thoose problems ppl were having with unlocked bootloaders. It is the new software that does it. Media reviewers actually wrote about this aswell saying that Sonys cam wasnt any good no more. Google is your friend.
A bonus theory here: The "conspiracy theory" : Wouldnt it be smart to make some features look abit worse on the Z1 when the release of the Z2 is just around the corner ? If a customer wants a really good camera phone and just cares about that. And when he is comparing the Z1 with the Z2 and found that Z1 is just as good camera wise but half the price he would buy that one i would guess. Buuuut if you make sure the camera isnt working as good on the Z1 but super good on the Z2 while releasing the Z2. Then that consumer might buy the Z2 instead. It could very well be marketing stunts so the normal user would go "ehhh this Z1 aint working properly, ahh well ill just buy a new one like the Z2".
And ofc, when the Z2 has been out for a while the software will be fixed on the Z1 making the ones that didnt jump the train for Z2 happy again so that thoose might continue to buy Sony Xperia´s.
All big companies wanna make money. They have smart ways of doing so aswell.
I will buy a OnePlus One when that is released here, and if that is so good as it seems to be and that the company will continue to produce "flagship killers" to the half price and a more humane price. I will continue to support them instead. But usually everyone making money will get greedy. :laugh:
Hi all
I can see that not much is going on here on this forum with the Xperia x performance.
Custom Rom etc is not existing and not much activity on the forums. Not compared to galaxy s7 anyways.
Sony has never made better phones than now, and the arc, s, z etc had a lot of activity.
It is a shame.

I actually think the X performance is a nice phone, ofcoz the X is actually downgrade from Z5...
It's ok as far as they keep a flagship upgraded and better than before. The new design looks excellent and for me is better than the boring Z series look, actually even better than the new xz.
Btw, for the reason they sell the standard X so hard, more than the X perf is that they dont want people to get X Perf coz it's too good, too good that u wont need to upgrade for a long time. Sony wants u to upgrade after a year, not 2 or 3 years like the over power Z series LOL. And ofcoz personally I'd recommend Z5 more than the standard X, but X perf is excellent to me

Is "AndroPlus Kernel v7" did the work here (fake DRM /hide DRM security measure)? but this time with UB.
And as i know the difference between the LB and the UB is the lack of the DRM, but if the problem solved here with this kernel so it considered as a partial resolution until find another way to root with LB.
Correct me if i was wrong
Thanks

Problem is some carriers lock the bl and you can't unlock cause unlock bootloader says no and no way to change it to yes on carrier locked ones. Ive talked to Sony and Rogers and neither are interested in helping change status to yes. Sony says talk to carrier and carrier says talk to Sony just a vicious circle has to be a way to change status
