[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Kunwar.g:
In market to buy a new phone. Had shortlisted SL basis the price and reviews. However would it be too late to get a phone with S3 processor. The T series with the S4 processor is not launched in India .Sony is launching the Z and ZL. I like the ZL basis the limited info available online.

So here it is should i get the SL for approx 20K or wait for the ZL to be launched and if it is within 25K get it. Even if it isnt it might bring down the price of SL further. What say. Have 1 week to decide. Getting the phone as Birthday Gift :victory:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] NomNomM:
you should get Xperia Z / ZL if you got money :) go for Z :D

im gonna take the Z :) much better performance and cool features :D

Hey guys. I'm deciding between an XS and XSL and just wanted to ask whether any of you SL users has tried ROMs on S? Over clocking as well? Please do reply as I'll be buying the phone soon.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] cjvzla:
I have SL and there are not nearly as many roms out there as xperia S but I don't regret getting it you can still try any of the great XS roms on your SL you just have to be careful and ask everything to be sure :)

Also: I think the SL only takes advantage of its 1.7ghz upgrade on stock SL roms and kernels I think you lose this by flashing XS roms.. IM NOT SURE THOUGH
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Lt.Win:
Alright, the S it is then. I don't see a point in spending more money for 200mhz and not using it anyway.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] skylinrcr01:
Yep, this is just a factory overclocked S. From what I understand if you root and overclock your S, it will behave identically to a SL. Also all ROMs that work for the S will work on the SL.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Member90:
If its just factory overclock, then what u means is there is no hardware different between XS and XSL right? Ok here the situation..one mmber of XDA flashing XSL firmware on his XS..and results, his cpu maintain 1.5Ghz..why is that?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Vaith:
SXS has different kernel, that's why. Also SXSL has better BT module.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Member90:
U know what? When flashing a firmware, kernel is included..that means, that member are using XSL kernel after flashing XSL firmware..curious right..

If you can provide some advice brother that would be gr8

Hi sekhargreen,

First of all thanks a lot for all the mentioned information here.

I Bought my Xperia SL from flipkart on 8th March , The phone is amazing. But Still now I did not take the phone out of my house even once , as this one ( xperia SL ) is costly and i am too finiky about my electronic items.

But a few days ago i was in a hurry to go to the office and left the phone without putting it into cover, I even forgot to tell my mummy not to clear my room . after i went she cleaned up the house and transffered all of my office laptops, phone to the other room . when I returned i saw that the TATA Photon was kept above my xperia. From that day I am Seeing 3 Vertical scratches in the middle of the phone . these are only visible when the background of the phone is white and even reflects lights a bit .

Please tell me that does Xperia SL also comes with a in-built factory protected shatter proof sheet . few of the videos of xperia SL shows that if there are many scratches done on the screen ( done knowingly in the utube videos ) one can replace the shatter proof sheet and the original glass did not get scratched.

Is it advisable to put a protective layer ( anti- scratch proof ) above the shatter proof sheet, which is already on the anti scratch resistant glass.

ie. triple protection, if yes from where should i get this extra layer, wouldnt the phone get warmed up quickly.

even sometimes phone responds slow . how can it become fast? if few apps has to be removed which should be they , plz help as i still am not familiar with android system

Please help

your help awaited

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Beamer9408:
Easiest way is to follow a guide to get you nexus back to stock via fastboot won't take more than 15 minutes get the 4.1.2 images here https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images There are instruction all over xda to achieve this only thing you might have to do is change file names if the guide isn't up to date other than that the commands are the same.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
no, the update is failing because you are on a custom rom.

if you want the update, you need to go back to stock and then re-root.

there's a sticky at the top of this forum.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrhumble1:
his gufbrwit

You should not really care much about OTA updates once you have a custom ROM on your device. I can see maybe flashing back to stock if you wanted to sell the device, but for any other updates you should check the ROM you like and just see when it is updated.

yes gyro is missing and photosphere never works the way it should be. does not understand our movements well enough.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] 99x:
Seems like it, I can take photospheres just about, but it is probably using the other sensors to detect movement, albeit really slowly and inaccurately - the resulting image is out of line as the pictures don't line up etc.

I had issues like this before on the GS2 and a few times when I first got my GN2. The GN2 was right out of the box and it loaded up gallery really slow and lagging, until the point where the gallery give my a GALLERY NOT RESPONDING message. I found out that the photos that lag, take forever to load or doesnt load at all are the ones on my external SD card. I tried to add more photos to the External SD to see what happen and most of the time not all the photos copy over and errors with the card. I did a SD card format using the phone and put all the photos back on, it works just fine now. No more lag, no more errors and photos are loading fast. If youre also using external SD to store your photos like me, then maybe this is the same problem you're having, but if you're on an internal memory storage then I dont know. =) Just a memory card issue and require quick format for me.
