So my current device now is the wildfire buzz from htc ... I was going to sell it but after installing (cm9) on it I had second thoughts (thanks to xda-developers )
any way that's not my question ... my question is ( I want to get another mobile and I want it to be one of a kind so I was thinking to get the new iPhone 5 and I was very convinced .. until I saw that magnificent device the Xperia Z and now I'm puzzled .. what should I do ... go with this magnificent android device or try the IOS device that have a lot of people using it right now and saying that it will last for a long time with no problems)
So the bottom line is ... what's your professional opinion about this problem???
sorry for the long replay :fingers-crossed:

Well the Xperia Z and The iPhone 5 are very different in many ways but the biggest is clearly the OS... Android vs iOS. Well in my opinion Android is the better one but that is my opinion... Everyone has its own taste in smartphones so go to the next shop and test some of the newest android devices and then the iPhone 5, watch some comparison videos, read some articles about it, etc.
On the hardware side there are some big differences aswell:
Snapdragon S4 Pro Quad-Core chip for the Xperia Z and Apples A6 Dual-Core Chip for the iPhone
1Gb Ram iPhone vs 2Gb Xperia Z
4" Retina Display with 326ppi on the iPhone vs 5" Full HD 420ppi Xperia Z
Both are pretty awesome devices... So either way you go, you can't go wrong

In my opinion, iPhone was the best in like 2 years ago. After I do root, ul boot loader, install ROMs and port ROMs etc... I will never leave my android... it is up to you whether to choose what but I suggest Xperia Z.

It is a great idea of making an Off Topic thread so Moderaters does not need to delete again and again... And will keep the forum clean .

Hello everyone,
the moderating team assigned to your forum has decided to no longer allow any offtopic threads whether those were previously sanctioned by moderators or not.
We have come to this decision due to the fact that those threads offer absolutely nothing to the device specific forum or to development in general.
After all the name of the site is xda-developers.
If you feel the urge to engage in any offtopic discussion, the offtopic forum is always at your disposal.
As such, this thread is now closed.
Please understand that this decision was made only to streamline the forums and to enhance the user experience.
Thanks for your understanding and cooperation,

{PRO}[REQUEST] Developers please pay attention towards xperia pro

Hello
Developers please pay a little more attention towards the xperia pro. I've been owning it since end October an am a bit disappointed. Six months have passed and still not much custom ROMs for it. I see a lot of development going on for other new devices like the Xperia S but why not pro. Till now only three custom ROMs are available wbich is very less as compares even to the low end and legacy devices like htc chacha.
This is a humble request from all the pro owners.
PS: pro needs its own section
Sent from my LT26i using xda premium
I think your "PS" is more relevant than the main body of your post.
Developers are people like you and me who invest their own spare time into modding their devices. It is not up to you to demand that others make ROMs for the community, rather that WE form the community.
There are a few good Xperia Pro custom ROMs and mods about, but the problem is that they are very scattered, and the complete lack of organisation here and contradictory advice of where to discuss Xperia Pro (with randon willy-nilly thread closures), along with the intransigent attitude of some admins towards even considering the two minutes work required to create an Xperia Pro sub-section simply stunts any growth in the community.
The Xperia Pro has a significant market niche of being the only respectable GLOBAL QWERTY slider to have been released in the last year, and indeed on the market at the present time. Many people simply do not realise howw important a good QWERTY device is to some of us, and have probably not used one either to understand how superior many of us might feel that QWERTY devices are. There is no point in a 20-core 8 GB RAM phone with 7" screen if the text input is gimped (inaccurate and taking up your whole screen), and the device no longer fits in your pocket! The Xperia Pro gets this right and for those who have used it understand why it completely wallops other devices that might look better on paper.
Truely a good statement! You just took all the words in my mind!
I was trying to port MiUI to pro but my notebook fell into the swimming pool and the HDD wont work anymore. I need some time to collect money to buy another and start developing.
I need every pro owner get inspired by others and to try something.

Cant the moderator create a sub forum for xperia pro development like ray,live with walkman n etc.?
Sent from my LT18i using xda premium
Well 1st and main reason probably they didn't put one is because of lack of development support? This is XDA Developers this forum was meant to be a forum for developers so I guess unless there's not much developers on a specific device then no sub forum for us.
And 2nd is we don't have that much userbase I guess it's not worth the kilobytes for each member here if there would only be a handful of threads on a subforum.

I think the main problem is that pro was focused towards businessmen and such peoplr. Developers generally dont fancy hw QWERTY
Sent from my LT26i using xda premium
I don't think so... If you go to maemo forums you'll see a userbase on which 3/4 are developers and 1/4 are regular users and all of those developers stick to that forum for 2 reasons. 1 All phones/tablets have HW Keyboard & 2 OS is linux. Sad that nokia decided to ditch those and go with windows phones. On which the main reason why I switched android.
Anyone who's interested to do something check this out. I'll start developing one I get a new notebook.

No, the main problem is ignorance of the admins towards how unique and great this phone is. Jjust look at the manner in which devices which the admins fall for the hype for such as the Samsung GSIII receive forums before they even exist or are known about. If the American admin were living in Europe where we have a QWERTY drought then they would have understood that many of us were eagerly waiting for months before the Xperia Pro release and would have created a forum without thought. "Dual core" etc. matters not one iota to many of us if it doesn't have proper QWERTY input.
It is a chicken-and-egg situation. I believe the developers are there in the community, merely that XDA (now regrettably the main place for SE development) is so disorganised that it makes it difficult to communicate.
It would be two minutes work to create a development sub-section in Neo, and actually less work for moderators to deal with the scattered Xperia Pro discussions as we have at present.
Frankly, I wish all Sony Ericsson users would get together, abandon XDA altogether, and return to websites like Esato, sense, TopSony as they did in the old days. At least then all devices would be appreciated and understood by those in charge.

Xperia pro is the best smartphone in its class. There's nothing compared to xperia pro when it comes to a physical keyboard.

Pro didn't get advertised, that's why no one has it and no devs support it and now it's way too late to change that.
No one/dev will get a 1GHz single core device these days

Everyone doesn't care just about 100Ghz processor with thousands of cores. Many people care about the usability of the device. Typing anything on a hardware keyboard is far less easy than on a touchscreen
I own a X10i, pro, xperia s and htc tytn ii. I use pro most of the time due to its usability.

I agree that we should indeed do that, and am working on some mods too in my spare time...
(after all, it has already been accepted to allow Xperia Pro to be discussed, merely not exactly agreed properly WHERE.) All we are requesting is a little cleanup with a small single forum under Xperia Pro (or perhaps more pragmatically here under Arc given the volume of stuff already here).

Rather bold words there completely out of line with the 470+ votes and available ROMs!
Some of us don't require advertising to make informed decisions. Nor do we think that it is work spending €100 more for a device with less features (cough! Arc cough! Perhaps this thread would have been better posted over to the Neo section where there seem to be less of these perceptions)
Show us some loveeeeeeee!

An interesting question. I think Neo V has different partition layouts, but I would have thought Arc and Neo ROMs could be made to work (though have read they will brick your device), except with some of the keyboard configuration left out. I think we should be pushing for an initiative to port Neo and Arc ROMs to Pro, or for example develop some sort of patch which would automate the process.

I don't like long goodbyes but I need to tell all before I leave all of you most...

So here we go. My development is over - I'm done with it and want to tell you something about me before I leave (of course I will be here, but only sometimes and won't make any more projects). Why I need to end this all? This is a question. I told that on my DX8 thread on X10 development section - my hands have Carpal Tunnely Syndrome and I fighting with this for about few month or so. Now it's pretty nice, I'm holding myself and pain is not so bad and not hurting me everyday (only sometimes).
But what can I say about myself? It's very hard, but I will try to tell you everything I remember best:
I've started my adventure with Android after I bought Xperia X10 something like ~2 years ago. It was very nice choose and I started to learn some "noob-edits" like deleting officiall 2.1 apps (after I update it from 1.6) to make my X10 faster. Never heard about XDA yet. Then I started to write some first posts on my blog (which is old and closed already for months). I posted there my opinion about X10, my first news of Xperia family, and more. Then I get proposition from one forum to be VIP there. Now, heh, it's my forum . I worked there about Gameloft games etc. to make X10 better (won't tell where etc. cause on XDA it's not allowed - let's tell that my past is not "clean" - it's warez and hackers job yeah. Then I was asked to make some first steps on XDA, writing threads, make myself more international etc. Like you see - it was nice idea . But let's go back. After I close my blog I need to sell my first X10, but one of the best guys here, and very polite and fair friend, mohibb bought me one X10, to make my back-to-job possible. Then I back with some DiXperia for X10 users, can't remember which one. The development on XDA and my forum growed more and more, YT channel too, and my blog was already closed....And then, some time after I bought Xperia Play, and started to play with Play . Made DiXperia number first, then DiXperia 2, which is my last project in Android developping. Now, because of hands problem, I need to end this all and I think you respect my decision and you're happy to use (or used before) any of my ROM, and your device was better at least than Stock ROMs . All last threads like DX8 for X10 and DX2 for Play are complete in 10000% and I think the best fans or polite guys here will help all new persons here, with some bugs or anything else - I'm counting on you guys, cause I will be here only for free-talking about spam-features D), not for development or some new updates. And please don't ask if I will ever back - I think I won't. I have now my private life problems (girl, which I'm falling in love, arguing with me and it's all over...), school starts yesterday, I have much more things to do. But I will never forget about X10 and Play community, all best fans and haters and more. I want to thanks for Moderators and Administators for great job about XDA site and many, many more! Can't tell everything cause I will need to edit this thread thousand times to complete all I want to say!
It's not so long as I wanted to be, but it's enough. Goodbye guys, love our community, and I will be here, but not so often, and with not new projects.

I always nice to read which person lives behind 'the developer'.
Altough I never used one of your ROMs, i always read something good about them.
Even that I wasn't a DXperia-user (during DXperia 6, I was on Trips ROM), you've given me a great x10. Why, you ask?
Because you were developing at a high level, other developers were also working at high level. So therefor: every ROM became great ROM. It's because developers learned from each other and helped each other. So there was a benefit for me
Ofcourse, real life is more important. So i wish you all the best.
Thank you for getting the best out of X10!
Best whishes and good luck for you !
And another good friend leave our lovely X10 Forum!
Have fun and enjoy your life.
Thanks buddy for your hard and awesome work!

Authentically Off-Topic Stuff ! :D

Hey there guys and girls!
I know its nothing new but the idea of having a off-topic thread really hits the beat.
Was getting bored and there were a lot of OTT to choose from...so i decided to create a new one.
I know its so awesome of me to call off-topic threads as OTT!
This OTT will be known as **Gabbar Singh** LoL
Gabbar Singh: Hello World!
Its time to say hi...
*P.S. your participation is seriously appreciated, cause am still getting bored*

I was thinking of discussing this with you people.
The Idea: Using the free storage in the external memory card as additional RAM in our android machines
Verdict: Rate it on a scale of 10 and obviously your comments are anticipated.

I dont know 100%, but I think it will be a Galaxy S3/4 or a Xperia Z/ZR. But my mobile carrier will present their new program next Monday, so also hope they will bring a good offer for me.
I wont leave the forum now, but I will do soon. And it also takes its time to tell my succesor all the things he has to know. So I opened this theard now.

Seems like not many people seem interested in this, so I will offer my hand for help.
My reason, why I want to be your successor, is that I wish to continue to share all your efforts to every user of this section on xda-developers. My intention is to make all the information available and make sure it is up to date.
I have received a lot of experience and knowledge of 2011 Xperia smartphones by reading guides/topics, trying out myself and later on guiding others. Now that I am very familiar with that, I wish to keep on giving out a helping hand to every user in this section. Since the first day I bought myself a Xperia smartphone, I have never wanted to have a different one, because Xperia devices are the only smartphones, that I feel comfortable with and have become used to. Even if one day I would buy another smartphone, I would still continue being an active member here, because xda-developers is just an awesome community.
I have been an active member on xda-developers forum since 2nd February 2012, starting out in Live with Walkman, Xperia Mini (Pro) and Active device forum. In July 2012, I started to be active also in Xperia Arc section, as I had just bought myself that smartphone. Currently, I check 'Xperia Arc' and 'Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Active, Ray, Live with Walkman' devices forums on (almost) daily basis, answering questions, providing help, reading about new developments and achievements. I have not received any punishments from xda-developers Administration Team and I always follow the rules of xda-developers.
Lately, I have made 2 topics, which have been marked sticky by xda-developers moderator(s). One of them is to remind to all ROM and kernel developers of the GPL license, that should be followed. The other one consists information about the best and/or fastest ROMs.
I have created a basic tutorial on 'Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Active, Ray, Live with Walkman' devices forum. The same topic also includes stock firmwares for most 2011 Xperia devices. Link to the topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1568792
Rest of my work can be found in my signature below.
(I may update this more before the deadline.)

Closed now!

Google Nexus 5. I loved my Arc so much that replacing it was a pain. For a short while I considered The Glaxy 4 Mini but it was too ugly. I t had the right specs and the right size though.
Nexus 5 have the righter specs but the wronger size. And it is not ugly.
Hi
I'm planning on buying a LG g2, but I'm hesitating because the nexus5 seems like a good choice too, but there's the battery issue, I wanna know has the drain that was reported numerous times been solved?

You, sir, are at the wrong place. This is Xperia Arc forum.
Yes, I know, but I currently have an arc s, but the question was about its successor. Hence the question

This topic had completely different subject.
My point remaining, if you want to know information about G2, ask in G2 forum. If you want to learn about Nexus 5, visit Nexus 5 forum.
Haha, after posting I noticed, was it for the baseband-thing? Sorry for this utter stupidity

Moving to Htc one from S3

Hello
I'm thinking of moving to htc one coming from an s3. I need your input regarding this, I'm tired of Samsung lags and plastic feeling of the phone. .they are all the same plastic....s3 s4 note 3..all plastic.. doesn't have the premium feel it is suppose to..
Anyone that come from an s2 or s3 or s4 to Htc one can give me his input regarding how sense5.0 is, how does the phone works, the screen, the battery its not removable (I don't like this deal)
Please give me some advises. ..you dont have multi windows on htc one, right?
Any help or advice is appreciated
Thnaks

Mate to be honest, i have couple of friends that moved from S4 to ONE, just by looking at me and my ONE... It is the best phone at the time, and you have always a AOSP build that will have (soon i hope) the split window capability.. The rest is flawless
In my opinion, the HTC One is the hottest piece of mobile hardware in the world right now. It just won the mobile award of the year. The developer support for the One is tremendous. The XDA devs love it. That's more than enough to make any sensible person turn from any other device. I mean, like seriously, most of the XDA devs use it as their daily driver and/or primary development device. Just have a look at the main portal and you'll see that most articles feature the One.
However, the best answer is to figure it out yourself. Just go to youtube and watch some reviews. Search "htc one vs s3" and "htc one vs s4" and "htc one vs anything". Watch these reviews from a couple of different uploaders, so you'll get a broader point of view.
Hi,
We don't allow device comparison/suggestion threads as there are plenty of threads for such discussions in the General forums.
Please direct your question to the device suggestion thread or just search for the answers to your questions.
