So......I'm trying to actually work out the purpose of this thread??:confused:

Sony have failed in their marketing? And how does that actually effect you and me? (though I don't actually agree)

As long as I have my phone and they provide support what does it matter?

OP, word of advice, worry about

1) family

2) being happy with life

3) work

4) paying bills

If Sony market the ZL badly then that's their loss, infact it could be better for us as customers, because if they perform badly then next time they might be more determined to give us an even better phone.

But why are you crying about it? Worry about your own life....:banghead:

I think you are new to Xperia family, Sony greatly help devs here across there devices.

Yet u judge Sony at Q1, while there is time for Sony to fight Other phones back

There is new leaked Xperia L, which is mid range phone.
[Xperia Z General] omnius1:
Lol really? So if I voice criticism I'm complaining, my criticisms are invalid, and your advice is to just accept all problems and worry about life instead? Do I have that right? Good.

Because now I'd like to take a look at one of YOUR recent posts and apply what you just told me I should do:

Relax Jay! You should be worried about life not phones4u.

:)
[Xperia Z General] jayman1986:
Man your so sad, you actually went to trouble of researching my past posts rather than look at your own stupid reason for opening this thread.

Sony's supposed poor marketing and release of two phones instead of one. What problems has that caused you exactly?

My problems with phones4u is quite clearly stated in the post you very elegantly copied, but your a actually too stupid to realise how I was personally let down, hence why I still don't have my xperia z yet. MAN SOME PEOPLE ARE SUCH LOSERS.

I actually mean it, you need to get a grip on life.
[Xperia Z General] omnius1:
lol you just keep digging yourself further into a hypocrite hole. You know why I looked up your posts? (By the way, if you call 20 seconds to click a link and copy/paste work, you need to start going to the gym...) I looked because after reading you ranting and raving like a nutcase I knew I'd find a bunch of other ranting and raving posts.

Turns out I was right. You're the one who needs a life. Have you even read your other own posts in that thread? Holy crap, you spent more time arguing and fighting with that other guy than I've ever seen someone do! And now here you are doing it all over again.

You have serious issues you sad little child.
[Xperia Z General] jayman1986:
Says the lunatic who opened this thread... since you've so easily read through my previous posts then maybe you know what the "other" guy was constantly posting.

Come to the point you seem to havr same problems as him. Doesn't like Sony....doesn't like the Z. But spends his life here moaning about Sony and the Z and how great HTC are.

Please remind me what the purpose of this thread was?
[Xperia Z General] omnius1:
Well I can't say I'm going to spend that much time in here once both the Z(L) and HTC One go live where I am, because I'll be moving to either the One, or the SG4 which both blew Sony away this year (again. shocking I know). But yeah, he is right about the One being the better device. You're just angry because you know he's right.
[Xperia Z General] jayman1986:
Yeah, your gonna get the One, your both so much better than me. So with that last post its just proven that this thread was nothing but an attempt to troll and flame.

and I'm the sad little child with issues..:banghead:

Your right though the one is so much better, man how could I get it so wrong, you've made me see the light.I think I'm gonna cry now.:( your right-Sony really suck. I think I'm gonna commit suicide now.

Re: How Sony botched 2013How Sony botched 2013

Just wanted to add that sony did that th last year too.

Who the hell heard about xperia ion, acro s, xperia v???

Only those people include me, who knows any phone on planet (phone is my hoby and my second love).

Since lot of years and phones (k300,k610,k800,k850, c902, c905, w335,w980, satio, x10, arc, xperia s)

I moving onto htc. Sony screwed up on every single phone exept really old one.

Also you above me, xperia s is first sony smartphone which is released last year in april, and it was ex flagship which still runing laggy ICS, and jb is no way near here.

[Xperia Z General] PraxxtorCruel:
You keep mentioning how all you hear is of the HTC One and the S4, you ever consider this is only because the phones are yet to be released. Hype builds around any product until the day it is released and then suddenly all of it is gone. The Z had a lot media coverage and there was huge excitement for it before it was released. This is quite normal. Obviously everyone thinks the HTC One is superior to the Z, why? Because all we are seeing are the specs on a piece of paper. Wait till the real reviews come in, same thing goes for the S4. How can you review a product or realize its short-comings until it has been released and you have had a chance to play with it. Look at the S4, it's popularity is through the roof, why? Because the specs are unknown and people love to speculate.
[Xperia Z General] krabappel2548:
If I wasn't on XDA I wouldn't have known HTC One or SGS4 would be coming, but I've seen a lot of Sony adds online before release of XZ. Sony is growing, so they can't be that bad.

Just like Ambroos said, give them some time. And it's the same with Samsung and HTC here in Belgium, only advertising about their flagship device.

I'm going to ask the mods to close this thread, it's becoming useless now.
[Xperia Z General] Kallb123:
Agreed. I had a newspaper one day that was literally 40% Sony Xperia Z adverts. Honestly!

How much has the average consumer read about the One or S4? I've not seen anything in the paper or on TV.

Although, of course, online hype is building and building...

But ye, closing thread seems like good idea :P
[Xperia Z General] theindievisual:
close the thread

OP had no other intentions than to start up a discussion that could only progress into flamewar over sony's business model

3 pages in and there hasn't been an ounce of useful discussion
[Xperia Z General] jayman1986:
Glad someone agrees with me.
[Xperia Z General] randomuseresato:
Lock this useless thread please.
[Xperia Z General] SudaDreamS:
I kept saying something whenever such discussion is made, i don't know how far is its truth:

I don't think that Sony would like to compete sales wise with Sam, htc or even apple. I feel like Sony has its fans who trust its other products lines, TV... etc and Sony would like to give them the joy of having its technology in a handheld device too.

I bought Sony Tab S about 18 months ago, and I'm more than happy with it. I never heard big noise about it ads wise unlike Galaxy & iPad. Because i liked the tab, i went for XZ, after 7 yrs of using htc phones. I've some comments & things i miss in the XZ, but I'm sure that will be solved soon, either by Sony or by devs here in xda, because this what happened with the tab.

The Rolls Royce car never try to compete GM or Toyota, they have their customers who like their cars and buy it, and that's enough for them. I like being unique carrying a device that's not in every hand , Sony gives me this pleasure with a device that has almost all the specs i want

XZ is a prestigious device, not made to be carried by every mobile phone user, it's just like a rolls car

I'm happy with the tab, its support (xda & Sony's) and the availability of its accessories (at least online) I'm sure the same will go for XZ.

Sony will never let its prestigious customers (like me :p ) down

Bottom line;

Come on Sony, i should get something for writing this :D :D :D :D

[Xperia Z General] biffsmash:
Lol all this arguing over a non issue.

If the phone works out of the box, which it does, why does it matter if devs support it or if it's popular.

People are far too worried about flashing the next big Rom, which is normally exactly the same as all the roms that come before it and has zero advantages over the original, or you get updated software which you can't revert when it wrecks the phone.

I am leaving this bad boy stock and can't see any reason at all that it would require an update at all.
[Xperia Z General] electrash:
IMO flashing ROMs and developer support is not break deal, but geting update for phone is.

For now sony did not prove that they care about their flagships, and i think that will make me skip this year.

After they prove that they learned about that problem, i will switchback to sony. :)
[Xperia Z General] jayman1986:
I'm sorry, you're right. How stupid of me.

---------- Post added at 01:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:06 PM ----------

That's exactly my point, and op was flaming me for it.

His reason for having a grudge is because Sony released 2 phones and not 1. What's wrong with that?

No need to open a thread to complain about how Sony have supposed bad marketing? What does Sony's profit margin matter to me?
[Xperia Z General] Dsteppa:
People if you want the topic to be closed just use the report button, it's there for a reason (Just saying)
[Xperia Z General] danw_oz:
It is so hard, sorry for you. Two choices, Samsung and HTC create so many variants of their phones.

BTW HTC has 5 variants of the HTC One based on bands, in saying this there are now some users in the US that cannot buy a phone to suit the entire US network, because not one phone supports all these network bands (Not a problem with the Sony). Wait three months for the HTC One + to come out (Thats how HTC always roll)

And you know for sure that Sony are making the decision to not supply to certain Carriers, don't think so. Sony's objective this year was to try to be in the top three for android phones this year, the way to do this is to create a world device that can be used on ALL carriers. Sony can't push the phones on the carriers. So if you want the phone buy it outright and use it on your carrier, and moan at your carrier for deciding not to stock the phone.

The phones are different and have different specifications in quite a few areas.

I unsolderd the battery and when I solderd it back notthing happend but i got a new device (HD AUDIO MODEM DEVICE), something like that but I cannot find the drivers.

I also used Qpst tools and it is recgonized as phone in download mode??? What is this?

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] WenSes:
Hi guys!

First of all thxs a lot for everything you have tought me about phones in these years. I really hope you can help me with this one.

I have an Xperia S, locked bootloader, but rooted and with CWM installed by the instructions of this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1939875. It worked fine.

I've had tried to flash a rom using the update.zip thing. All process went ok. Now my phone starts in black screen and reboots all time.

No led is shown when connected to wall. No led is shown ever (Still I haven't let the battery die, since it happened last night)

I've tried to flash something but flashtool doesn't recognize the phone any longer (it did before the accident). Neither PC companion. My PC shows in the Device Manager a SEMC HSUSB device for some seconds until phone reboots again and disappears.

I have a hope that if I fix that, I could try to flash some stock rom/kernel or something into the phone... but I haven't been lucky with that.

Any idea how I can relive my phone?

Please help me. Thanks in advance

If u cant remove the battery remove it and reinsert it

Now try flashing ftf using flashtool

I dun think it's a hard brick certainly not possible wid a locked bootloader
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] WenSes:
It's non removable, so I tried hard reset (volume up + power key until 3 vibrations). Then, I tried to flash. Same thing, phone is not recognized (even if drivers were installed before and was recognized before)

Flashing CWM usually requires a program called Odin that not only enables root access to your phone but other things as well. With CWM there is no need for a computer just an SD card for safety then you can follow flashing instructions!

I suggest you spend some time reading before acting. I'd hate if your next thread is a "Help I've bricked my phone" thread. Good luck and happy flashing

Hi,

I am thinking of upgrading my phone to another phone namely the HTC One X or the Sony Xperia T.I needed to ask a few things before making my purchase.

2)which one has the most active development forum?

3)which one of these is more futureproof in your opinion namely in gaming performance?

Back + vol down + power.

Yes. you can copy the rom zip to the sd card and flash through your custom recovery.

Do take a nand backup before you flash the new rom, just in case....no harm if you have a backup right?

Also since you'll need to wipe all/cache/dalvik/data before you flash the new rom, it's better to sync all your contaccts to google / have a contacts backup before you do flash the rom.

Are you guys aware that whatever mods you've made to the phpBB preclude the use of CTRL-click in Mozilla in order to open threads in seperate tabs? Typically I read the subjects in each section and CTRL-click each thread to open in a new tab in the background, but on your board it causes the foreground to switch also. You can right-click and press T and that works. So not a huge problem, just found it odd that whatever mods you made broke the CTRL-click.
