AtheK Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 hmmm......september i was expecting a May launch.......looks like i will be waiting eagerly.....any words on official specs it will come by mid Oct, spec wise it will be similar to S4 with few S/w tweaks and stylus tweak thrown in. I think 5.5 is in itself pushing the boundary, they would probably wan to to retain the same size. If you do not want to wait, i suggest get S4 in may.

Thanks, water test in few weeks, it is too new for me to start experimenting, it is in those phase where you make sure you keep them nicelt, ruk 2 week uske baad would be throwing it around Also the sony software is very good, it actually picked up the iphone backup on mac and extracted all information(messages, contacts, pics, bookmarks) and transferred it to the phone. HTC is making such a hue and cry for this S?W enhancement in One and Z already has it. Not sure why sony does not market all this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dante77 Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 So its much faster than HTC oneX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtheK Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 So its much faster than HTC oneX Yes it is, the snapdragon seems to be doing a much better job then Tegra. It overall feels much more smooother, and all this on stock rom. Once i get custom rom in, it should perform much better(though that will just mean more numbers in benchmark), real life experience is anyway the best android can provide(you obviously have to over look the inherent flaws in the OS itself) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remain on the Sony ROM unless you really want something that is in that custom ROM. Maybe unlock it after getting bored with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True no plan to root it for couple of months, for now there is nothing that stock can't do. I can wait for some other rooting stuff, as i am just out of abusing the one X, so i can wait out few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtheK Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 This is what i was talking about, but will need to root my phone for this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2190293 The utility is with ZL but not with Z, probably should come with next update Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ram Dante Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 The screen calibration thing was added as an update to the ZL by sony? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The screen calibration thing was added as an update to the ZL by sony? No it came with the rom, not sure why they skipped it for Z. Above is ported to Z, guess they will provide it as an update for Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtheK Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 if he is ok with a grey piece, Xperia P is a good choice, around 16k with coupons. http://www.ebay.in/itm/Brand-New-Original-Sealed-Sony-Xperia-P-LT22i-black-color-/271068397850?pt=IN_Mobile_Phones&hash=item3f1cef811a&_uhb=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dante77 Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Go for Sola, one of my friend have that phone. it looks great. Runs fine but has few problem after updating it to 4.0. I suggest you to root it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know there is healthy developer community for the Sola. CyanogenMOD has been ported and there are a bevy of other ROM's available, some from India too. All this and more @XDA. Hope this helps, Cheerio! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
