[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] anthon:
Hi, first of all I've to say sorry because my English is very poor

Since april I've had a simfree Xperia S, with bootloader unlock allowed (I haven't done it yet, including root or any mod)

There are two things that I don't like from the XPS:

-ICS is very laggy

-The battery isn't removable.

I usually stay away from my house the entire day, and I like watching films or series in the phone, so by the end of the day I always run out of battery and I need to carry with a USB portable battery and keep it connected for hours to recharge the phone.

With the galaxy nexus, I can buy the extended battery and carry with the stock one so when the extended is empty I can swap the batteries and begin at 100% again

The other thing I like from the Galaxy Nexus is the amoled screen, because of the better viewing angles than XPS and the bigger size when playing video

The two things I don't like from the Galaxy are the too low 16gb of storage and the GPS (I don't know if it is bad, but sure it isn't as good as the XPS)

And at the other hand, Nexus will be always up to dated with android version, and we don't know if XPS will be updated to 4.1
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
If you want a Nexus, wait for the new one(s) released this fall.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] anthon:
I don't want to pay a lot for it and this fall the new nexus will be very expensive and I will have to wait for about 6 months more.

I don't have to pay anything for trading my xperia s with a galaxy nexus.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MrBelter:
Use a different launcher and the battery is removable if you really need to remove or replace it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mohosinmamun:
But not for regular use as anthon needs !
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
There is likely to be a series of Nexii, so you should be able to find something that suits you.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sinple:
Please take note that galaxy nexus has on screen time of about 3hour plus only, while Xperia has higher on screen time.

Charging portable battery is easier than charging additional battery?

Xperia has a better rear camera while nexus has better front camera. Lol

Both phone are using outdated hardware, does it even matters?

At least in my country, Singapore, xperia s is certified for nfc payment while nexus isn't. (only xperia s, p, s3 and Samsung advance plus)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] maxboy:
I have both GN on JB and XS on GB (forget about ICS, too many problems for me)

Although GN is extremely smooth and battery last much longer under normal use ( 2 days vs 1 day max) the AMOLED is really suck.

Yes, the view angle is incredible, the black level is top notch, but the image quality is very disappointing, color is not accurate, pen tile makes image blurry/ not sharp.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] anthon:
Finally I think that I'm going to keep my XPS until the new nexus

I will try the MIUI and Cyanogen Roms

Thanks to all for your help
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] blade30p:
I think you have a defective unit chief, my fone also has the pentile s-amoled screen but images are CRYSTAL CLEAR, no blurry images & Hd video is a joy to view. ;)

The screen on the Galaxy Nexus is not that great. Sure you get better viewing angles but lower ppi, crappy whites, pentile, and image ghosting. I bought both phones and ended up sending the Nexus back. I just can't stand Samsung.

---------- Post added at 03:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:36 PM ----------

Pentile sucks man, I am sorry. My buddy has a Nexus and compared to my Xperia S the screen is not nearly as clear. Viewing the web on the Nexus is not very good as text isn't crisp unless zoomed in.

Also battery isn't that great on the Nexus either, if you view alot of internet it will drain much faster than the Xperia S.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ej_424:
I thought the same thing when coming from a galaxy nexus. Now that I'm running CM9 FXP132 I live this phone! Performance is incredible and my battery life doubled!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] aresbv2000:
Keep the Xperia S :p

First of all....the XS display is absolutely brilliant...even better than S3 display.Look at the 2 screens in the same time and you will notice the difference.Xperia S display colors are more real and the black is really really black.And is also the ppi intensity.Is better on Xperia S!The CPU on Nexus is significantly poorly than Xperia`s S!Even overclocked the score at megaflops doesn`t equal the score obtained by Xperia S CPU.And we have for the Xperia S a kernel oc-ed to 1,9Mhz!The camera on Xperia S makes perfect pictures!12 mpx > 5 mpx on Nexus.I don`t know about the GPU`s on both of the devices but the games on xperia s runs very well.The only advantage on Nexus is the removable battery and better technical support!overall except the lack of technical support the Xperia S is a better(technical and look)phone!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] fNOOB:
You're asking this in an Xperia forum lol :D bias is everywhere. Each device has its pros and cons. Personally if I had the option, I'd go for the Nexus, but if you can hold off until later this year as K900 said, you'll be in for a big improvement.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] maxboy:
GN vs XS on xperia forum doesn't mean bias, if you got no comparison, GN is brilliant, i came from GN (now my GF is using it), switched to XS.

i had no complaint about GN before switch, i got lots of complaint after making the switch for both.

XS = laggy UI, laggy UI and laggy UI, man the spec is better but why laggy?

GN = wow the screen sucks big time, colour, sharpness (not due to ppi but pentile) and burning (ghost and shadow and stupid burn and much more)

if you use it everyday, the screen is where you are looking at everyday when using the phone. although XS LCD is a tad old fashion (why not IPS like iphone), switch from XS to GN will be your biggest mistake. if you are coming to a decision which phone you should buy then it depends

(smoothness and update = GN , design, camera and screen = XS)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mrsatan:
Yeah I agree completely, my buddy who love is Galaxy Nexus has been complaining about the screen ghosting lately. Also the Xperia S is not laggy if you install a custom rom for it. Mine does good work.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] zha1:
YES you should.

If you're not satisfied with the phone you have now, then let it go. Questioning whether to replace it or not will just make u see more and more bad things about it. So why keeping it? And chances are, you will not be satisfied with Nexus either. You see people here are the kind to get any phone they want, stick to it and make the most of it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Elwino2.3:
You must remember, Reality Display color is more natural than Super Amoled (overcolour)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] chinoka236:
if you are to replace your sxs, do it with a newer gen s4 processor. otherwise, you wouldn't feel much difference.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Elwino2.3:
iPhone s*cks
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] zodiac100:
I wouldn't worry about the processing specs of either phone. They've both got cpus that will meet most demands.

The Xperia loses out badly on software because the ics update has been far from satisfactory. Very very pedestrian in some respects. To be honest I'm not quite sure what Sony did to make it this poor but it is.

The screen and camera of the Xperia are infinitely better plus it has more storage.

To be honest Sony's repeatedly poor performance on software makes it very hard to recommend this phone to anyone. All I say to them is I prefer it to anything else primarily because of the camera which now feels downgraded on ics. So slow when viewing videos directly from camera app. Gingerbread was as fast as fast can be everything happened instantly even though it force closed a lot on home launcher but ics is just ridiculous. After so long too.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ~iPod~nano~:
seriously?

Nexus processor is 1.2Ghz dual core, and it's outdated, Xperia S has 1.5Ghz, and that's a qualcomm msm8660 (or 8260 depends on your carrier)

Nexus camera ONLY 5MP, vs Xperia S 12MP

AMOLED doesn't always better than LCD, try it yourself.

Nexus' headphone sound quality is rubbish

But, in nexus you'll get access to the newest android, and many kernel, ROM

(much kernel, but many rubbish too as doomlord said before)

yes nexus have removable battery

regarding for XS laggy UI, that can easily tweaked in build.prop (windowsmgr.max_event_per_sec=220 ) and (debug.performance.tuning=1)

if you benchmark the CPU, XS wins.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mrsatan:
Yeah stock Sony ICS is not the greatest. They definitely rushed it out. But the roms based on it are great.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tatltael:
The only reason to choose the Xperia S over the Nexus would be if the phone's camera is a high priority to you. Or if you prefer LCD over AMOLED screens. One is not better than the other, its completely subjective. I personally have always preferred AMOLED and during normal use you certainly don't notice the pentile effect, since its HD.

It doesn't matter which phone has better benchmarks or better CPU/GPU because at the end of the day that has to translate into a noticeable performance. And no matter what anyone says, the nexus has one of the smoothest and most fluid android experiences since jellybean came out. Its as smooth as an S3 or an iphone now, which is a far call from the lagginess of the xperia's current update. No matter how much you tweak ICS it won't match the performance of Jellybean so there's no point even trying to compare the two.

So get the Xperia S if you care more about the camera and LCD screens. And the phone does look better than the nexus in my opinion.

Get the Nexus if you care more about software experience, custom roms/kernels and AMOLED screens. Also note that the screen is bigger than the xperia even though the phone is the same size.

The U/P - Still waiting...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dSayonarab:
Don't forget 32GB vs 16GB of memory.

Those were basically the reasons why I ignored the Galaxy Nexus when buying a phone, though. I didn't want an AMOLED, (there goes the Gnex), wanted a physical camera button (there goes the One X, and now Gnex is disqualified twice), needed more than 16GB memory (Gnex disqualified again), and wanted separate microUSB and microHDMI ports (...you get the picture.)

The one appeal of the GNex for me is Jelly Bean, and I have that on my Nexus 7. So yeah.

EDIT: Gnex has better battery life too, which is the one other appeal for me. And if you install the 2000mAh battery kit it flattens out the back and makes the phone easier to hold. Win-win!
[HTC Amaze 4G] shuvarts:
So... after using the Amaze for some months... I basically drop it, broke the edge of the screen (usable, just a bit annoying seeing a line at the right edge on the search button), and accompanied with some small problems. Although as you guys can see on the picture, the crack is not that bad; but kind of unpleasant. Since I love trying new phone, I am thinking of trying another phone if there is an option while getting rid of the annoyance.

Long story short, I am thinking of selling the phone and get another phone to play with... But, here's the catch... I don't want to spend too much just for playing with new phone (so no s3 or one x/s for me) and it needs to work on t mobile 4g.... I can't really think of any phone other than Amaze that fall that have a beast spec like 1.5ghz dual core, 1gb ram, and fantastic camera and still within the 200-300 range (even s2 in my area's craigslist is still about 300+)... I'm just trying to see if there is anything on par with amaze in terms of spec vs price.... If I got no other option, I might sell my amaze and get another amaze...:D But, who knows someone here have an idea...

Lastly,... What price do you guys suggest to sell this phone on craigslist with a not perfect screen (assuming I can throw an extra battery and back cover)? Most listing in my area range from 250-320....
[HTC Amaze 4G] ziggy46:
Well my amaze is pristine like I just pulled it out of the box and people don't even want to pay $270....

So om thinking since yours has a crack it will go for a lot less

[HTC Amaze 4G] Lunaillij:
The next best thing to the Amaze (besides the one s) would be the Sensation. Specs are not as good (but close) as the Amaze but it should be with in your budget on Craig's list. And there is a lot of support for the Sensation.

$sudo make me a sandwich
[HTC Amaze 4G] jlvlawrence:
Get a nexus
[HTC Amaze 4G] shuvarts:
I also think that way... I am thinking of selling it around 200-220 range because it's still usable and if you replace the screen, it will cost about $50 for the screen.... Plus, the price around my area still goes for 270-320. Do you think that's reasonable? :confused:

It's pretty decent since I played with it for a few weeks... But, the camera on Amaze is better and I just want to use different phone with my brother. lol. It's a bit of a downgrade too...

This...! I want to but there is no used gsm galaxy nexus in my area and the new one cost 350+tax which is about 150 bucks more for a slower processor and worse camera (with faster update though)...
[HTC Amaze 4G] aj_2423:
My screen is WAY worse than that, shattered from the bottom right corner to about half way up the screen, still works fine tho. I have some pics in my "i'm back!" Thread. Ne ways, I had it on craigslist, I wasn't going to sell it but I just wanted to see what I could get if i decided to, and someone was gonna buy it for $100, so u should have no problem getting two hundred for yours.

[HTC Amaze 4G] shuvarts:
Ya... I actually just re-check on ebay and the screen digitizer cost only 26 bucks... So, if that person is diligent enough to change it, that will be a damn good deal (for you $100 case)... So I suppose 200ish will be fair enough. lol.. I guess I will try to sell it first and get a new phone afterward (and use my old faithful g2 while searching :))...

Anyway,... I suppose there isn't much of a choice because of t-mobile 1700 2100 freq... :(
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
I work at an electronics repair shop and I will say, some android phones are a total ***** to replace the digitizer on. You will see most phones get a digitizer/LCD combo because it is so much harder to do just the digitizer.. but if you think you can do it, that small a price for a digitizer will increase the value much more than trying to tell THEM to do it.

If you like your amaze and you're willing to keep it.. most repair shops should be willing to do it for between 30-50 if you provide the part - don't break it again and you can sell it for more money later anyways when a phone WORTH upgrading to had finally come out. Otherwise you wanting good hardware specs and good picture quality makes me say you should just fix it. But that's just my 2¢.

Hey,

i want to change the anme of an app.. but now i have a problem.

I know that i need to change android manifest/android:label

But android:label refers to strings/app name (it says @strings/app name).

So i went to values/strings and the top line says app name: "Beats"

Problem is that Beats is what i want it to be... but when i flash that app (it´s a system APP) the actual name is still DSPManager...

So why is that and how can I actually rename it now?

Thanks in advance.

over the years what has apple actually innovated on? samsung came out with a touchscreen phone before them..it's nott heir fault hipsters won't accept anything that isnt apple

android has had everything ios didnt way before ios..

wallpapers, voice search, freedom for the user(which ios users still don't have) and more... it's because apple is around, we don't have any competition...they're suing everyone that makes a better phone then them, and you're telling me without them theres no competition?

I am not a fan boy for either side.. In all honesty I like both mobile platforms. But I will be very upset if apple wins this trial.. Even though the galaxy S did look an awful lot like an iphone and the ui in the galaxy S looked like ios at first glance.. I just don't see how you can patent a rectangle or the only practical design . It's not right for apple to say that Samsung copied them when it's obvious that they both inspired each other.
[Android General] AznDud333:
here's some gather up of stuff i know

1. samsung already had a phone that looks like galaxy s/iphone pre-trial called the F700, the judge deliberately denied it as evidence because it came too late(they submitted it before the trial, how is it too late? if this was a murder investigation, a innocent man will be sentenced to 25years in prison because the evidence that he didn't do it came in too late)

2. we're looking at two rectangles

Kinda off topic but...I took my fam to Disneland and I guess I did not notice b4 since its been 4 years since the last time I was there and I didnt knew what a phone ROM was back then....anyways, seriously, about 90% of all the people there had iphones...yes 90%...and thats including all the nationalities u see there. It got me sick knowing the grip that Apple got on the average comsumer that doesn't have the slightest idea what a ROM is. Lets face it...wer just about 3% of the smartphone users out there. Im yet to know someone out there personally that has installed a new custom ROM in their Android device. They think Im just a ****ing nerd genius from another galaxy when I try to explain what I did to mine and my wife's phone. Apple devices have always been well advertised...in commercials, tv shows, and movies...compared to any other smartphone company...way way WAY b4 smartphones for the general population became avialable to the average person. I doubt Samsung (or any other smartphone maker) will ever be able to catch up to Apple. To the average person iphone will always be the one and only smartphone out there because thx to advertisement they have been told that.
