[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mrsatan:
According to this thread, the Xperia S does not have fast charging.

http://talk.sonymobile.com/message/193299

Also I looked around after and someone said that the first 10000 units had fast charging but they removed it to keep costs down.

Does this mean they added a new battery that wasn't fast charging or did they remove some kind of chip that controlled the fast charging. My Xperia S has always charged fast and it is an early week model so I assume that it has fast charging, but maybe it doesn't. Why would they include a fast charger if it doesn't have that feature?

Also my Xperia S is getting really bad yellow tint so I am sending it back to Amazon and getting a new one, but it would suck if the new one doesn't have that fast charging as I quite like that feature. Maybe I will just switch to an Xperia P since that is confirmed to have it.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mrsatan:
I have started a new thread on the Sony Mobile forums to try and get a solid answer on this situation.

Damn right if they lie to us
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mrsatan:
Okay so I got a reply from a Sony Support person on their forums and he stated that the Xperia S does not have fast charge.

I find this to be a load of crap because:

They stated it originally on their facebook page here

https://www.facebook.com/SonyEricssonNederland/posts/153606488082749

4th post down

Also if you look under the 851 specs it says Fast Charging and then lists the compatible phones which include the Xperia S and P. Then it lists normal charging as any other micro usb phone.

Also it was WIDELY reported to have quick charge and their is no way Sony PR did not catch the reports about it. If you look it up, there is many more posts and articles about the S featuring it than there is with the Xperia P featuring it considering that is what the support person said it is in.

Next you can not find quick charge listed on any of their white papers for either product which would lead me to believe they didn't list it incase they wanted to remove the feature later.

Lastly people have done charging tests and it clearly charges at the claimed speeds of the quick charging. Also the battery is of the same voltage and type as the Xperia P battery.

I find it quite irritating that Sony support is telling people that the phone doesn't have the feature when 99.9 percent of the public buying the phone thinks it does. If everyone perceives something to be true into becomes reality regardless of the facts.

I still love Sony and my phone, but this kind of trash should be limited to Apple.

851 charger

I hate how the Sony support guys deny that the phone can fast charge and makes it sound like we are stupid to have expected it then soon as someone shows them a link to the charger stating that the phone is "the perfect companion" to it the sony support guy just bails and never comes back. That is some great customer support. Love the phone but I use it as a GPS for my car and the golf course. I want the fast charge feature. Another problem is that the 851 looks to be European socket only which would not work for me anyway. Really disappointed.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Forzaferrarileo:
mmmmm , I lost my first xperia s ( one of the first sold , with yellow tint and no smart tags included and the ep850 cherger) and with the ep850 the xperia charged about 10% in 12 minutes , now (I have another xperia s , with no yellow tint , smart tag and slim box) it's the same with the ep850 or ep 800 , and it's the same than the older xperia (1,10h - 1,30h)

I think that xperia that have fast charge are only those had sold in spain before the 5 march
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mailthesauce:
Markus the Sony support guy on the support forum re-edited his post:

The boost charger EP850 will work with Xperia S but is not shipped with EP-850.... for all markets.

Xperia P is the first of our phones that support the boost charging feature and that also comes with the fast charger EP-850.

I think some markets got the Xperia S kitted with EP850
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Pezo:
I got an EP850 with the phone and it seems pretty boosted when charging ;-)

Sent from the Delta Quadrant using a transwarp conduit.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] BigPhil:
I think that this boils down to someone at Sony thinking that being able to pull more than 0.5A is special, and labelling it "Boost Charging", when someone else pointing out that phones have been doing this for the best part of a decade.

The key to this is that the phone can not pull more power than the charger can supply. The charger can supply about 1.5A, so you wont get more than that.

They said somewhere that "boost charging allows you to get 60 minutes talk time in 10 minutes charging. I did some maths in a different thread and this is exactly what a 1.5A charger would give you. I think it has turned into a way for Sony to sell you a £6 charger for £25, because of a meaningless feature.

So, the phone charges really fast, but only with a quality charger, and no faster than any other modern device with a quality charger. Boost charge explained.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ianford10:
No chance, I received the EP851 (EP850) today. 18% to 63% in 35 minutes.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] BigPhil:
If my back of envelope calculations are right, that would involve a charger that could chuck out 6A @ 5V, 3 times more than any charger I have seen. You could probably make one from a PC PSU, I think they produce 12A on the 5V rail. I wouldn't want to plug my phone into it though. If someone is brave enough to try, I would recommend some form of active cooling, perhaps a large fan or something (how about Pringles can with both ends taken off and an 80mm fan with grill at one end?). From my understanding of these things your phone should be fine, but 3x the most powerful on the market is too big a leap for me.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Pezo:
You could use a 5V 100A power supply and the phone would still not use more than the charging controller deems safe.

Which should be about 1.5 to 2A (more likely 1.5A).

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris.wilcox:
I have live wallpapers and apps on the Play Store.

I just updated my HTC Sensation 4G to Ice Cream Sandwich (CM9) and the Play Store says that my live wallpapers are not compatible with my device. But, I can see and install my apps no problems.

When I search for my wallpapers, they do not show up in the results. I can, however, side-load my app, install, and set the live wallpaper no problems. Is there something I need to do? I can't see anything in my manifest that I've missed.

Any help would be greatly appreiciated. If you try to search the Play Store for "pub:ccw" or click the first link in my signature. Please let me know if you can see my wallpapers, even give the free ones a try and if you're running ICS, let me know! I'm trying to figure out if this is an Android 4.0 issue, or a CM9 issue. Thanks!!

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrMrMr111:
Thinking of getting S3, but obviously will be a price premium. Wondering if it will be worth it over the Samsung Galaxy Nexus?

Same size screen, removable battery, fair do only 16Gb on Nexus, few software features on S3. Anyone actually seen a S3 yet, is the screen as bad/good as people saying?

Is the screen completely different to Nexus, which is best?

Cheers
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimJ87D:
There are quit a bit of software differences as Samsung added a lot of features to the SGS3.

The screen is added with Gorilla Glass 2, being thinner and allowing better visibility. http://mobile-review.com/review/samsung-galaxy-s3-fl-en.shtml

It's really up to you. The phone is nearly twice as powerful with a GPU close to 2.5 times more powerful as well. The battery life rating on GSMArena is rated pretty high also. It's a good solid phone and will be for 1 or 2 years with a good community and support.

The only reason to move to a SGS4 in the future might be for RAM, that is the only thing I didn't see a big jump for the SGS3.

I'd probably wait for the next nexus devices to come around with jelly bean.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XDA mark:
Nexus 4.65 inch -> S3 4.8 inch, also reported the S3's screen is brighter

Nexus dual core OMAP processor at 1.2GHz -> S3 Quad Core Exynos at 1.4GHz, very powerfull GPU

Nexus 5MP camera -> S3 very nice 8MP camera

Nexus 16GB memory -> S3 16/32/64 + 50GB dropbox + SDcard

Also what I like: the S3 has a wolfson soundchip like the S1, musicwise the S3 will be better then the Nexus as far as I understand.

Besides that, the S3 has software tricks the Nexus doesn't. I might have missed something but this is most of it. I don't know how big the difference is between the Nexus and S3, having a quad core might be good "future-proof" wise.

edit: forgot, removable battery (and bigger battery, 2100mAh)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebobp:
One thing to consider is that Nexus is pentaband (i.e. works with the cheaper t-mobile prepaid) whereas s3 is not (to the best of my knowledge, anyway).

Another thing to consider is custom development; it's in the high now with the Nexus, and unlikely to be as active even when the S3 goes out in full blow.

Aside from these, I think the S3 has all the advantages, both hardware-wise and in terms of additional software (that you can remove later, if you don't like). The price premium is $200ish, but it's worth it for a long term device.

If you wait for the S3 to come out there's an okay chance the Nexus price would drop even further (though, to be honest, I'm not sure if it can beat the current google subsidy in the play store).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbgt2:
Being a Gnex owner I have to say I love it. Have the S3 on preorder as I have to have it, same will happen in November when the new Gnex comes to town. I don't keep my phones for long. To answer ur question I will have to say get the S3, if u want the ability to fully rock your phone with whatever and however YOU want then get a Google phone, they are first to get everything ie. updates, roms, themes, etc.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yyhd:
I have the Verizon version of the GNex. It's a great phone, but there's many things about the phone that make is sub-par, in my opinion.

I think the one good thing about it is it runs vanilla android 4.0.

With the S3, it's a huge upgrade from the GNex with a nicer screen, larger screen, better processor, thinner, better battery life (well compared to my LTE version), and I think I just looks much better. I'm sure it'll run smoother too, but that is yet to be decided as none of us have our pre-order units in our hot little hands yet.

On the flip side, GNex runs Vanilla Android while S3 run Sammy's TW UI over Android. Now, I was not/am not a huge fan of the previous version of TW on the S2, I think I might have different opinions about TW in S3.

I hope I'll like it, but I won't know until I get my phone :D

From my perspective, S3 all the way. Don't even consider GNex. If you want a GNex, I'd say get the next Google Android Nexus device with Jelly Bean, as other xda guys have mentioned.

My 2 cents.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
This is probably beating a dead horse, but we don't know if it has nicer screen, until everyone has it and make comparison. It is still Pentile, which is okay, but it would need better quality control and not suffer from grey banding and/or dark spots and/or tinting which half of phones I had in my signature suffered from.
