The Assassin Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 SO TEMPTED Mainly coz of the pricing But it is the I9100G version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death Stryke Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Doesn't matter I know it performs well on day to day basis and its size is the upper limit to what I like. I am only not sure how ICS is on the SGS2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bird Bird Bird Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Why will tw run in background if you are using apex or nova.launcher. Dunno. Just speculating. Anyways not gonna use Apex or Nova as that will require flashing an ICS custom rom. Will probably try Go Launcher EX or ADW. Lol at all the discussions before even buying the device. Still undecided.

Bird Bird Bird Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 ^^ Stretch it a bit and get HC One V. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bird Bird Bird Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Kitna stretch Please post price also guys for your choice n prime difference. Mota bhai Arre 17k tak stretch kar lo. One V comes with ICS and is super smooth to use. Plus better hardware than the current 15k phones. It's a no-brainer really in that price segment.

avkash Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Because TW will still be running in the BG, hogging memory/RAM (and using up battery ??) (AFAIK). errr no Why will tw run in background if you are using apex or nova.launcher. correct use Go launcher btw, it is awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bird Bird Bird Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Uh oh. HOX just got a software update. Confusion * 100 ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solitaire Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Another one has seen the light! Only problem is that I don't know where I can get warranty service for this phone since it's straight from Google (GSM one from Google in the Yoo Yess Yaay hence Verizon won't touch it). And my phantom-charging thing is f**king annoying me. Apart from that, the phone's great. I gotta find a way to shut off this "screen turns on the moment it thinks it's changing between charging and discharging" to atleast get a stopgap solution such that I won't end up with too much battery drain from a permanently on screen. Superfrag any ideas? How about you Shantz? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

egg man Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Is Xperia S worth 29k? Really in love with the design <3 Most of the reviews are criticizing it for not having ICS out of the box, but I really don't care about it. Other than that, is it worth it or should I wait more? I saw a demo piece an the video on that thing is just awesome. COlors are so vibrant .....dil aa gaya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parvinder Singh Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Ace sux. On paper and on reality. Any other phone in this range is better. Okie. I also asked him not to go for ace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtheK Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 The 4.3" screen is small and colors are not as vibrant as SAMOLED, i got bored of the phone after an hour and also GB is a little laggy on Xperia S. Looks fade away very quickly. @Bird: Get HoX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anshul Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 @ Bird: Get Note. Once you get used to the size of the screen, you will not want to use anything smaller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bird Bird Bird Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 If warranty is irrelevant, get the Galaxy Nexus. Why you ask? Better build than the Note, will get every update first before the HOX and the Note plus stock ICS out of the box is better than breaking your head with flashing. Oh and it's only 25K. Well, I'll prefer warranty if I get it. Plus HOX has amazing (dang amazing) build quality (GNote has the mighty screen & S-Pen). And IIRC, online forums are filled with people criticizing Nexus's camera. Maybe a mini-review from your side would help ease matters a bit. Is Xperia S worth 29k? Really in love with the design <3 Most of the reviews are criticizing it for not having ICS out of the box, but I really don't care about it. Other than that, is it worth it or should I wait more? I saw a demo piece an the video on that thing is just awesome. COlors are so vibrant .....dil aa gaya Used it for 10-12 minutes. The novelty wears off pretty quickly. Not suggested. Okie. I also asked him not to go for ace. Paa ji, too many girly "Okie"s ? @Bird: Get HoX. @ Bird: Get Note. Once you get used to the size of the screen, you will not want to use anything smaller. I know, but also have to get used to talking with that big a hardware over my ears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
