[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Nimche:
My wife has owned all the iphones so far and now iPhone 4.

I have owned many SE phones and X10 with android HTC HD2 with android, Xperia arc and now Xperia S.

Things that bugs me, iPhone 4s screen is small for my taste. I mean once you use a bigger screen you can't go back. Android 2.3.7 with with Sony customization is really nice and smooth. I don't experience crashes at all, and if you do I suggest you to double check what causes it and get it fixes as it should be like that.

iPhone OS (iOS) has bee remarkable through out many years and I always play around with iOS as well just to get to know it. It is a closed circle with reasoning for customer not to crash it as much so you have the best user experience ever but for a person with needs of customization this is not the right choice. on her recent iOS 5.1, she has experiencing issue of crashes on screen and freezing which I am sure there will be fixed soon but all in all, they are totally two different animals.

I do like iPhone design but unfortunately smaller screen and iOS is not just for me.

Other than that, it all goes to your personal preference and what you like.

If Xperia S is available in your country and in case of anything happens to the phone you can go to center and get it repaired then Xperia S is my first choice but Apple has good service and minimize the frustration.

Sony never will take Apple serious.

Good luck.

WAIT, WHAT? You compared Android to Windows Vista? Sorry, but you made a big mistake. You should compare Android 4.0 with Windows 7 SP 1. The Windows Vista of Android is 2.1...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Efe64:
Your to young to understand that.

People know what i mean, thats enough.

Its not a comparision.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] randy_c:
I like them both. Each has pro and con. android pad ICS really nice. Notification on IOS best. I have both phone and apple is the number 1 in customer service, software update, bug fix etc.. Android more customize and yes XS has serious problem with battery. if apple then they would fix it right away.

Coming from an iPhone 4, I would say base on my overall experience it is great device.

I know, not the usual Android user stance, haha :p

But you can't deny it. The user experience is exceptional. I don't have to think twice about how to manage my files, songs, movies, photo, because iTunes manages it for me. Create playlists, plug in, sync, done, enjoy!

Still, I was attracted by the freedom of changing the UI thing in Android. Most importantly I really like widgets, which sadly is not a feature in iOS. And having used the same old OS for more than 3 years kinda bores me (I don't like JB, so it was just stock iOS).

Plus the design, screen and camera in the Xperia S really attracts me, which is the main reason for me to switch to this phone.

But overall, iPhone still remains as a great device to me.

My advice would be, if you are not those people who like to mess around with your phone, choose iPhone. Otherwise, Android would be great for you.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] zodiac100:
Please **** off back to Apple. Android is not for simple minded goats.

If you seriously believe the IOS basic crap is better than any android version greater than 1.6 then your truly better off with apple. Your brain is too stunted for android.

Android just like windows is all about sophistication. If that means we have to trade in some stability for added functionality. This speed and stability over sophistication philosophy failed for Apple against windows in the pc wars back in the day. It will also fail against android this time around.

It's not called tech for nothing. Sophistication will always win over simplicity as far as technology goes.

Eventually hardware will evolve that will see android fly in performance terms. I actually believe we are getting to that point now.

Then the choice would be between the very basic simple IOS running smoothly some stably or the infinitely more sophisticated, intuitive, and functional android ruining smoothly and stably.

Who do you reckon will out.

Windows left the Mac for dead and android will do the same to IOS.

That's the trouble with apple, they never have any long term vision, just creating huge bubbles that ultimately burst.

It happened before and they chased Steve Jobs out. Fortunately for him, that marketing joker checked out this time before his next bubble erupted.

+1. Apple is a bit retarded.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Efe64:
Watch your mouth big mouth prick. This isnt youtube so you can act however you want.

Trust me dude, I am more busy with the Android than you did in your whole life.

What you just say is bla bla. Bla bla's for nothing.

You dont get my point.

I never said IOS is better than android and Iphone better then other phones.

Retards like you never understand me because you people are very basic, talk basic and think very basic.

Seriously, do you know what you are talking about? Look what the point is and what you explain. A simple soul who thinks he knows some ****.

For the people like you to understand:

I never said ios is better then android.

I hate Apple, is this clear? I ****ing hate it. Ok?

What i want to say is, i miss the stability and the smoothness, my god is that so difficult to create? Just a patch, just a patch.

We need also a good support. Not only that smoothness, also support.

Look at the forum maybe you will understand what i mean.

Let me be clear zodiac100.

Watch your mouth in those sort forums. It isnt youtube.

Dont act like an everything knower if you dont know any ****.

Ok?

I guess your the one.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] zodiac100:
And all that coming from a man who came out with I'll smash the xperia s to pieces and get an iPhone.

Your a joker. A waste of time engaging with you. Your just an iPhone clone who secretly loves android.

Don't worry I'm sure the android community will be happy to if not welcome you, then at least tolerate you.

Just until your conversion is complete.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Efe64:
Are u tarded or something? Who are u anyway? U dont even know me and you try to talk about me?

XDA has no place for tards like you.

You didnt even understand what i said.

U just wont accept me. U want to go high. Just smash me to the ground.

Standard type.

Iphone can kiss my ass. Its not about getting an Iphone. Its about the service. Said it 3 times...

Yeah guess why dumb ****. Guess why?

Ask yourself why is PSN hacked? Why?

Sony offers to much. Offer offer offer.

You buy it and no offer will be real.

And about smashing.

My SXS has an assurance. If i break it, i will get an cheque from them. Thats why lol. Not out of my fun.

U just look it at 1 point.

And the conclusion is person like you.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] awf:
Amazing how a quarrel can't start about simple phones and software...

Gentleman or ladies does it matter, you think different and prefer different things, sounds human to me ;)

Just respect each other his or her opinion and enjoy you're preferred phone :cool:

My oldest son and wife love their Iphones and my youngest son and me are android guys we love the freedom which is relative too :rolleyes:

Both great products with there strong and weak points it's all about you're own preferences here...

For me personal I'm happy with my XPS and for the first time no need to change the GUI love it.

Well battery life is for everyone phone the weak point.

My oldest son will never go back to Android since he prefers the Apple way...

[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] ggdu:
When using Ubuntu font many users see rectangles in different places, that don’t belong there. They come from the .notdef character which in that very font has a rectangle shaped outline. This character appears when the font doesn’t contain a character for the codepoint requested. It seems like some apps use codepoints different from usual spacing characters to show empty room: e.g. with launcher pro in the app drawer long names are shortened with an ellipsis after which those squares appear. The reason why using other fonts doesn’t show these squares is, that some fonts only have an empty space at .notdef, so no outline appears. One can verify this by using the DroidSansNotdef.ttf which I attach. There I’ve only added an outline to the .notdef character and you’ll get the same behaviour as with the Ubuntu font.

UbuntuAndroidfix.ttf has an empty space in .notdef so it isn’t visible. Nevertheless, this is only a workaround for a bug that’s somewhere else.

Edit: As shown below, the real reason is missing U-FEFF in the font, so it is a font bug. Attached you find all four styles (Ubuntu regular, italic, bold and bold italic) with the added character.

20.4.12 — New version: added spacing characters U-2000—U-200F to fix some more box-char appearances.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] kyrillos13:
Basically after searching a bit more i found this workaround: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16895848&postcount=269 :) It seems better. But thank you anyway!
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] ggdu:
Of course this is better, it’s not only a workaround, it’s a fix.

I attach a new version of the fixed font with the added glyph. At least the Droid Sans that I downloaded from Google webfonts (to be sure that I have the latest...) doesn’t contain it.

Edit: Attachment removed, new attachment in first post.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] kyrillos13:
Yeah thats right. But which program do you use to edit the font?

I used the Font Creator and the output size of the font is 312kb (instead of 335kb of the original ubuntu font). Your font is about 680kb. I used the droidsans.ttf from ICS platform (v1.0 build 114) and it did contain the glyph :p
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] ggdu:
I use fontforge and I'm doing font design in my spare time. But I've never thought about file sizes. I'll have a look at it later.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] kyrillos13:
Nice :) Have you made a font?
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] ggdu:
I'm working on EB Garamond, my main project. I can't post a link yet, but you'll find it easily via google.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] kyrillos13:
h i like the font. Nice!

The font is really good!

I love Greek & Ancient Greek letters in your font (i like the curves) but italic Greek just isn't my type. I think it should be less space between some letters.

Great work :)
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] pavankadam:
How to use it.. I am Kyrillos Rom v10.1..
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] kyrillos13:
Just flash the v10.1.1 update.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] ggdu:
I’ve found the reason for the bigger size. I’ve overseen to untick the old style kern table option. Now it’s only 273,4kb. I’ll upload it together with bold and italic.

Thank you! The italic is far away from ready, especially greek and cyrillic still need alot of work.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] ggdu:
If you don’t want to reflash you can also use a font installer program like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.font.installer
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] SoloRazr:
Thanks so much for the fixed ubuntu font. Looks great on my Live with Walkman™. Can I make a request though?

I see the same box character on the attached font. Can you help me fix it like you did for the ubuntu font, please?

Thanks so much!
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] kyrillos13:
I will fix it tomorrow :)
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] ggdu:
You’re welcome!

The thing about the squares is, they show up wherever a glyph is found which doesn’t have a representation in the font. So it depends on where you see the box character. With the fixed Ubuntu font for example you’ll see many boxes if you want it to display Vietnamese because it lacks a whole block of multiple accented characters which will be added in a later development stage. The Droid fonts you attached will fail for many more languages because it only contains the code points of ISO-8859-1 which is oriented at western european languages (it doesn’t even contain a Euro symbol). If that is the problem, the simple fix won’t help you, one would have to know which characters you are missing to do something about it.

The second problem is: what is the license of the fonts? There’s no licence information so it’s not clear if one may change anything about the font.

There’s an Android logo font which contains the FEFF character and many more (incl. greek and cyrillic): http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3771562&postcount=86 — perhaps this helps.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] SoloRazr:
Thanks to both of you guys!

I can't remember which site I downloaded the font from but its really clean compared to the android logo font so I liked it. :(
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] ggdu:
New version as reaction on more box-sightings in the Kyrillos Rom thread. In fact the character U-2009 (thin space) was missing. I added the whole block of (non)spacing characters from U-2000 up to U-200F.

Non-vietnamese UI-elements should hardly show boxes again.

They are already present in the font. If you look at the specimen (https://github.com/georgd/EB-Garamond/blob/master/specimen/Specimen.pdf?raw=true) on p.3 you find a czech example that shows all three of them (at least in lowercase).

[Galaxy S II Accessories] duraaraa:
I bought a new battery today, a Chinese knock-off battery which claims to have a capacity over 2000. I live in Mongolia, so that's basically my only option if I want a replacement battery, since there's basically no postal system here.

When I first put in the battery, it showed a 59% charge. After a few minutes and maybe a reboot, it showed a 20% charge. It consistently drained down to zero, and I'm charging it now.

I've experienced really strange battery drain with the former battery (also a Chinese knock-off) where it loses maybe 10 percent an hour on idle, so I figured the battery needs to be replaced. Is there anything I can do to calibrate it? I have a feeling that the charge is actually more than is being shown, but no way to confirm my suspicions. Am I right just to try to charge it to 100% and discharge it to 0% until the battery life gets better, or is there something else to do? I should mention I've tried resetting the battery stats in CWM with no real effect.

Thanks from Mongolia.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Nelinski:
Go into recovery when battery is at 100% and go to advanced then clear battery stats or download battery config for rooted devices and clear battery stats that way.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Joey2o11:
Clearing battery stats achieves nothing other than deleting the stats on the what has been using battery power. Battery calibration isn't required on our phones.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] dhruv.always:
if you want to increase battery life for your new battery, charge it fully to 100% whenever you charge :) it will increase charge storing capacity of the battery
[Galaxy S II Accessories] thefern2008:
See this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1312273
[Galaxy S II Accessories] blade30p:
Never, ever I repeat never let your battery drop below around 5%, and always charge it before it reaches zero. I use the Guage Battery widget v3 pro as it is very accurate, but you can also get the free version. You can & should use the free battery calibration tool from the Google play store, simply install it & charge the battery to 100% then run the calibration App. simples

[HTC One X] winwiz:
wow, looks excellent

can you post some photo samples of before and after?
[HTC One X] HoboTheLegend:
Looks awesome. Especially interested in the 0 compression for photos. Are the file sizes for the photos significantly bigger with this mod?
[HTC One X] dwd3885:
if this works then it is the best mod ever. Any downside?
[HTC One X] blubbers:
...and the camera is gone! :D
[HTC One X] Basil3:
Your mod made a huge difference to my sensation....thank you!
[HTC One X] NODO-GT:
the only downside is bigger file sizes, images and videos. but it shouldn't be a problem :)

videos are double the size of stock camera.

but 10mbps that stock camera is very low for 1080p and videos look highly compressed even with new One series optics, this mod should release the power of One series Camera :)

there are some photos in sensation department...
[HTC One X] middlep1:
Does this mod add new options to choose from in the camera/video recorder settings or just override the highest quality settings when chosen, would be amazing if it adds new options to choose from.

Excellent work btw if it lives up the OP's claims, just got to wait on my 1X arriving in the post now
[HTC One X] NODO-GT:
no there are no new options for choosing quality... maybe in future.
[HTC One X] Cass67:
Comparison of similar photo but not exact lighting conditions shows the old photo to be 2.15MB and the new one post mod to be 2.66MB. Not too much of a size increase in my simple test. Not very scientific but good enough for me...
[HTC One X] NODO-GT:
thanks for testing

As i don't have One X myself, I just ported my tweaks from Sensation to One X.

please let me know hows everything working.

report any bugs you find. thanks

please test Video. 10 second video should be 22MB in good lighting

[HTC One X] Rageypeep:
Er... I just flashed this... The phone just locks up after I press the shutter, no photo is taken and now I don't have a working camera... Can you make a flashable zip of the stock camera please? :-(
[HTC One X] zerohunter:
is this only can be done on rooted device?
[HTC One X] jermx:
Does this mod affect speed of shutter and takin photos?

better pic means bigger file means will take longer to process?
[HTC One X] shree.cse:
With out unlocking and root, how are you planning to flash the zip from recovery. The files in the zip are deodexed and cannot be even copied to the system.
[HTC One X] dwd3885:
this happened to me the first time. but then it worked after i tried another shot
[HTC One X] Rageypeep:
Ok I have found the bug that kills the camera, only one photo at a time can be taken with out restarting the app, the second will always crash the app. Burst mode does not work, will crash the app. Also taking a picture while taking a video will crash the app.... Was this just a port from the sensation? You know the HTC One phones have 2 shutters instead of the sensations 1... Bug being when the app swaps to use the 2nd lense shutter it will crash :-(
[HTC One X] NODO-GT:
thanks for report I'll look into it.

and this is not a port from sensation, it's based on One X stock camera
[HTC One X] dwd3885:
I have found none of this to be true..
[HTC One X] NODO-GT:
hm...

Rageypeep, I would advise you to try and reflash camera.
[HTC One X] knightrocker:
errr ... actually its only called dual shutter ... the shooting at the same time stuff is with one sensor ... that is why you only get 5mp pictures when you shoot during a video ... cuz true hd is 3mp and the other 5 is used for the pic ...
[HTC One X] supersanj:
Confirm everything is working for me after flashing this too.
[HTC One X] dwd3885:
i reflashed just so i can be sure it's the new one. Any way to tell for sure?

although it doesn't seem like the video bitrate is any better. Seems like decent lighting and I'm getting 6-7mbps
[HTC One X] Lo_RaT_PeNaT:
when using the burst shooting, the application is stuck, is the only thing I could try so far, however, if the photos are made one by one, works well, so you must correct in terms of continuous shooting the camera, the video I could not see anything until now, thanks.
[HTC One X] dwd3885:
continuous shooting works for me
[HTC One X] Rageypeep:
I have just reflashed the camera, still the same prob, 2nd photo crashes it :-(
[HTC One X] Rageypeep:
Ohhh I was starting to feel like the odd one out :-)
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
Maybe the inconsistencies have something to do with the ROMs people in here are running?
[HTC One X] Basil3:
Continuous shooting doesn't work for me either, and a 10 second 1080p vid came back 7.5mb.

Edit: running Leedroid's latest ROM.

Edit again: Have also flashed auto brightness fix.
[HTC One X] Rageypeep:
A very good point, I'm using ARHD Rom. Also mabe where the device was made, Taiwan/China, there have been reported probs with the Chinese made phones, maybe slightly different camera?

EDIT: Mines made in Taiwan
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
Sadface! That's the rom I'll be running in 2 hours once my new One X charges. Sitting waiting on me haha. Mines is built in Taiwan and from the initial look out of the box the hardware is sound. Obviously not tested the screen on/software yet.

[HTC One X] dinine:
Anyone try this with revolution ROM?
[HTC One X] Lo_RaT_PeNaT:
my rom is the revolution, and I insist, is about trying to help a developer to create a perfect mod for our cameras, I do not have to go into other stories, so is that in the revolution rom, continuous shooting blocks application, so no individual shooting pictures in the video I could not prove it. A greeting.
[HTC One X] adamsweeting:
I'm running revolution..... Everything works, apart from FC when finishing recording a movie.
