Wouldn't think of it.

My reasons in a nutshell:

Too ugly (blah design), bad screen (pentile so not true HD), not much of an upgrade (more cores isnt always better).

by the way, there was already an opinion thread on the S3 made, and it got closed because it went a bit....south I guess.

I want powerful phone this time, dont want to buy n to make my phone wrking better by rooting !!!

It should run smooth...

I am waiting for SG3 & XGX.

I really liked the smoothness of HTC One X !!!

Good option.

from xperia PLAY
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] shmoejoe:
Well if you want power above all, the One X or the SGS3 wouldn't be a bad option.

I don't know if it's still a problem though, but the One X was a battery vampire I hear.

I myself have thought about a Razr (not easily available here) or HTC phone (One S) before moving over to the S. I don't really like sense though, but the design of HTC devices never hit the spot, so picked the S in the end.

I don't know how you will be lag-wise, as android itself has a sort of lag by design. You may have returned your device within 15min I read, but you didn't really give it enough time to win your heart. It is a powerful device without even needing to do anything to it.

But yes, for benchmarks above all, those two devices would be the best option currently. Or you can wait for the Mint to release and not have a brand dilemma at all :). For actual daily use, I am not sure you will see a difference, as the S is already mostly butter smooth and has the design factor as well.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] xperiax10.awesome:
My reason was this..

PURCHASED XPERIA S and RETURNED within 15 minutes !!!

Guys,

Today I make up my mind n decided to purchase xperia S, enough waiting for GX/Hayabusa..

But once purchased, while playing with it, I found that the lower part of the XS (below the transparent strip) is loose, I can move that part n looks pathetic :confused:

I went to the store, he exchanged immediately with another one, that too was not looking very solid !!!

Its just me unluckily or luckily saw that or its design/built issue
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
Your luck, probably early batch. 12w11 here, the build is rock solid, even port flaps.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SEFanX10i:
Same here. No build Quality issues at all. Mine is 12W16.

The port flaps also seem well built. As for lag, I don't think GS3 would be noticeably smoother in daily usage than XS. XS is already almost on par with Galaxy Nexus and Htc One X in terms of real life usage even with Gingerbread.

ICS update should make things even smoother. :)

As for the GS3, nope I won't buy a Samsung phone ever. The GS3 design is a joke and its too big for my taste. Plus has an inferior camera, and a much less sharp screen with over saturated colors. No thanks :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] xperiax10.awesome:
These no. 12w11, 12w16 are written on back right? After removing the back case???

Or is there any way to identify the batch seeing the Box itself!!

Main reson is the design that looks like no other mobile out there.

And i a everyday use, i dont think ill notice the difference in dual vs. quad power.

My phone is s-off and I was wondering if I could update to 3.14 leak by flashing the latest leak from android police would it update the kernel. I have locked boot loader with custom hboot 2.2121. Will it work if I extract the rom from the ruu and rename and flash in hboot?
[HTC Rezound] mikeyk101:
You could update to 3.14 even if you were S-on. The difference is that with S-on, you can only go to newer updates. With S-off, you can not only go to the 3.14, you could even downgrade back to GB if you wanted. And as far as downloading from androidpolice site, you could do that but be prepared for a long download time. There are other sites that are hosting the update that can download in less than 10 mins on high speed cable internet. You could try THIS ONE After doing the update, it seems like quite a few are better battery life and cooler temps by flashing the kernel for 3.13 but you will also need to flash the wif modules as well.

[Sony Tablet S] vivftp:
I hope this is the right place to put this...

I got to thinking recently. I love my Sony Tablet to death and use it daily, but I now have my Vita and once more software an support is up and running for it, I think I can see it cutting into my tablet-love.

Now from what I undersand the guts of a Vita (cpu/gpu) don't really work too well in a cell phone, but what about in the next Sony tablet? Sure it likely won't operate on the Vita OS and will use Android, but how desirable would this be in your opinions? How would its performance compare to the other tablets on the market?

Is there really any reason why the Vitas guts wouldn't work in an Android tablet? Personally I'd like to see a Sony tablet with the Vita OS, but unfortunately the software support isn't there yet and likely won't be for 6 months to a year.

So... thoughts?
[Sony Tablet S] jameslindsey:
I'm wondering if Sony will release another tablet.

Sales haven't been great and there's a lot of competition out there. If only they'd market it a bit and plug the plus points & differences over the ipad and other Android tablets, then I'm sure it would pinch more market share.

I'd also like to see better PS3 integration. Using it as a controller like the next gen wii.I'm sure the hardware is up to the job.
[Sony Tablet S] yohandesilva1:
Sony will release another Tab, actually this tab is named one of the best tabs out there. But to get a premium and unique tab you have to pay right?

next tab is named S2 and will have quad core
[Sony Tablet S] jameslindsey:
That's good to hear. Must have taken a while to come up with the name.:rolleyes:
[Sony Tablet S] vivftp:
Yeah, it makes sense that it'll be quad core, but I'm wondering if it'd make more sense for them to port Vita the CPU/GPU into it, or go for the newer A15 quad cores that'll be coming out eventually. Anyone know enough about the Vita internals to know if they have any advantages over these newer chipsets?
[Sony Tablet S] oANUBISo:
Just like PC and consoles, they are two totally different things

Vitas chipset runs in closed environment just like your PS3 or 360, which will always be optimise performance

So the same or slightly more powerful chip set will never match it because of this

But on paper, yeah I suppose, but if ya mean will A15 in a phone or a tab be able to run Uncharted the answer is no.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SneakyDog:
Hey all,

First post so hope I'm doing this right.

I'm running ICS Infinitum Rom with Semaphore Kernel 1.1.1 on my GT i9000 and i've been trying to use the latest version of Google Play Music.

It can play files from my internal SD fine, but i'm having trouble getting it to play files from the emmc/audio folder. It locates all the music there but i get an error reading "Couldn't play the track you requested".

I've tried force closing and clearing data, this does not work. So i re-flashed rom and kernel. This worked. Until i flashed the Beats audio by dre.zip.

Same thing happens. So after reflashing Rom again it works for maybe two days, then i get the same error as before.

So i know somehow this works. But not sure why it changed all of a sudden?

I'm wondering if it has anything to do with format of SD?

Any help, greatly appreciated.:)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dave759:
That sounds to me as though you have a corrupt file or a bad external sd in which case try to format it.. or you might need to clear the cache in CWM unless of course you already have done so then im out of options. seems strange that it works for some time though.

And reflashing seems a bit excessive to keep doing, you could try a different rom and see...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SneakyDog:
Yeh I tried to format but that didn't work. And a cache clear from recovery but no luck. Which rom would you recommend to try?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dave759:
That I can't really advise you on as I'm using the same ROM as you, just an older version. But try any really, just read up on some bugs they might be having. I'm going to look for a new one now to try anyway so..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SneakyDog:
I just reflashed the same from/kernel again. Then before using titanium backup to restore apps I tried Google music. It worked. So then I restored all other apps/data then rebooted. After reboot music didn't work. So it must be something from my backup affecting this program. Is trial and error the only way to figure this out?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SneakyDog:
Okay, so I've changed Rom. Gone back to aokp build 36. Google music works fine now. Although I've noticed that ES Explorer is reading my sd card and emmc as though they've swapped?

Flash the fix 1 in recovery and reboot into the Rom. Come back to recovery and flash fix 2. The emmc and the sd won't be swapped now.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SneakyDog:
Update: So after still having various problems with Google music, I tried Apollo which worked well (although I had a horrid battery drain when using) now I'm on SlimIcs using the stock music app. It hasn't missed a beat and reads my SD card well.

Sony's techs have made a gift to Xperia users by lowering the write denials on /data directory, allowing some simple exploits to work (see DoomLord's works in Xperia forums).

Have someone taken a look at the mounts and permissions set in the new released ICS ?
[Sony Tablet S] Zhang Ran:
:DNo,but U can try it,i just use HTC phone
[Sony Tablet S] Nesquick95:
I wouldn't ask if I could do it myself... :rolleyes:

My tablet is HC 3.2.1 kernel #10 (unrootable) and ICS official release hasn't reach France for now.

Mounts check and looking for write permissions are the first steps of a root-searching process. I don't expect the Xperia exploit to work on our tablet but if Sony give some air to Xperia, why not to tablet S too...

So if you've got ICS, you may find usefull to type "mount" in an adb shell and navigate a while in the file system. If this means nothing to you, wait until someone does it and hope for success.
