Btw here's a sample using my Acro S... So this (I mean the usual noise) is normal? :( Friends who are using S3 or HTC 1x have lesser noise issues from what I observe...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] boyheadkick:
Yup thats normal specially with that kind of artificial light..

It's kinda off your concern but here's one of my night shots with flash as artificial light..

Thanks :) I suppose I just shouldn't expect too much (esp on zooming in on night shots) for cam phones. After all, they're cam phones, not DSLRs :P

Anyway, on another topic, don't you think it's a bad idea that Sony removed its physical camera button from its Xpera V and Z models? This is one feature I think I can't live without haha!

All XS user's which do you prefer, STOCK or CM Based ROMS? I'll be starting to build ROMS for us. Just want to have your opinions.

I'm currently using a personal AOSP ROM so just say which do you prefer. Stock or AOSP/CM.

hi guys...planning to buy XAS...i just want to ask about the battery life of this phone using custom ROMS...just the normal use..can it reach 2 days?

im currently using active and ive been scanning threads here to prepare myself..

if there's anything you can ask, just feel free to ask me too..i also developed a ROM wayback when i was an x8 user..currently, i stopped developing because we have a lot of stable ROMs already in xperia 2011 devices..

I'm a moderate-to-heavy daily user of XAS w/ WiFi and/or mobile Internet, and from my experience, a fully-charged XAS won't last a full day on it. Probably tried *not* using it w/ WiFi/mobile Internet on and I think I was left with ~30% battery by end of day, iirc....

Really helps to have a separate power bank nowadays :p
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] boyheadkick:
Moderate usage (fb, ig, xda, youtube) gives me about 15-19 hours of battery life :p

Movies and asphalt7 on the other hand gives me about 7-8 hours :thumbdown: even when i underclocked my device while running asphalt7..BUT, nothing compares to asphalt7 though :D

It really depends on how you play with the clock profiles in setcpu..

Hey, guys!

I dropped by at Sony Xperia store a while ago. Z is now on sale. 34990, 0% for 12 months. Around 30k for cash.

I held a demo unit and compared it against the Xperia S. I must say, the screen of Z is really sharp. But the colors are not that vivid when compared to the S directly. I tested it in full brightness and auto brightness.

Anyone of you having thoughts of buying that phone? I really like to have one, to be honest.

Cheers! :D

Btw, I read something at the Z subforum that the demo units have different panels compared to the retail ones, I don't know if it's true though.

well lucky you had in on your hands...

Hi guys! Mabuhay!

I'm new to the forums and seeing this is the thread for Xperia S owners in the Philippines, I was just wondering (still am) if it's a good choice to upgrade from my XS to the XZ. If it is, will it be better to buy from the Xperia Store or from a gray market? (e.g. dbgadgets, kimstore, etc)

Also, I heard that rooting and tinkering with the device invalidates the warranty, is there a way to go around this? My XS is still a "virgin." I bought it over a year ago and I never had the nerve to unlock, flash and root my phone.

Any answer will be of much help :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] boyheadkick:
rooting only voids the store warranty from what i understand..unlocking the bootloader on the other hand voids the sony warrant

you can root your device without unlocking the bootloader
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ionmarx:
But then again, if it's already more than a year old, I think you have nothing to lose, as the warranty usually lasts for a year. ;)

---------- Post added at 12:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:37 AM ----------

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] kibhen:
Actually, I availed the +1year warranty in order to cover personal accidents. I'm too much of a klutz. With that in mind, would that still void the warrantly, flashing and rooting the phone?

Actually just last Saturday, I inquired from the Xperia store in Robinson's Manila about rooting and they told me that rooting would definitely void the warranty :< but seeing that someone mentioned that rooting and flashing does not invalidate it, I'm not really sure who to believe.

Has anyone had a similar case wherein they were under warranty and rooted their phone, then an accident happened or something but you still managed to have it fixed here in the Philippines?

Thanks again. I would like to give thanks but I don't know how. Masyado pa akong noob dito. Haha :)

Scratch-resistant shatter proof glass

hi guys! mga kabayan! :)

just to stir up a conversation, let me ask this. :D

having read "scratch-resistant shatter proof glass"..

- since i've bought my acro S, i just used it as is, was that fine? i have never put/used a third-party screen protector.

- and say if i want to remove it, will it come off just like any other screen protector? or is it really a hard glass?

- what will remain of the screen if the glass is taken off? a regular easy-to-scratch and breakable glass?

it has been with me for 5 months, and i just "really" started using it last february - because i have other phones.

TIA! :good:

leaving tatioco

Your too afraid and don't want to take the risk,,anyway it's true that installing custom roms can void your warranty but rooting I am not sure of it..But if you are rooted there is nothing to afraid of, you can unroot anytime. Rooting simply means obtaining the highest level of read and write access permission. Installing custom roms are ok as long as you don not unlocked the Boot loader . But it is better if you have unlocked BL specially when you want to install a Cynogenmod which is the best custom rom for me. ok lang yan brad,

irerepair padin nila phone mo pag nasira. do not worry. Pakulo lang nila yun.:D

( ung akin nga noon naka custom rom nasira ang shutter key at under warranty pa..nirepair namn nila ng libre ng technician ginamit pa nila for testing kasi my mga pictures. Thats my experience it might be different from you. Kasi titignan lang nila ang IMEI ng phone mo if under warranty pa or not they do not actually care of the software, But If you hard bricked your phone it might be a different story) But based on my experience they will repair it basta repairable.

---------- Post added at 12:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:11 AM ----------

actually acro s has a screen protector, that film serves as a anti shatter filament for the screen if accidental drops happen, but that's not scratch proof and it is not actually a glass it is a hard screen protector.. if you remove that film it is now scratch proof but no protection for shattering if accidentally dropped. Imagine if you want both feature screen protector on top of screen protector yikes..:D

to summary screen is scratch proof but not shatter proof, it has a anti shatter screen protector.
