[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.m0x:
Note 2 internals are not bad they are just not as good as the s4. I do understand why you are tempted ... I have both phones and am finding it hard to sell one of them as they are both great. At the end of the day though the s4 is much more popular and will be easier to recuperate money on later.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marc_ecko28:
As long as it gives you what you need... Theres no reason to change your phone...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andymihail:
I would definitely keep the S4. It's a fine device.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxi200:
Weird that the iPhone 4s sells for less than the 4. Or maybe you got it the other way round.

But anyway, if you like the note 2 it wouldn't be such a bad idea considering he's also paying you cash on top. Personally I prefer the S4 and wouldn't trade for any available phone.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StellMonkey:
Sony support is good... Sony Xperia Z has official 4.3...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hapilan:
If you think the bigger screen and longer lasting battery is worth, it then go for it. But remember the note has a weaker camera and isn't full 1080p HD
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Wait for the Nexus 5, if its anything like the LG G2 looks and the same specs it will be the hottest device around running KLP.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
I think you should keep S4 till the next generation. Think about it, you're changing your phone within less than a year!! S4 is still a beast device, so why not hold up with it a little more? I bet your warranty (if not rooted/unlocked) is still there!! Do you want my advice?

Wait for Note IV or something like this

Your device can still keep up with current generation and even further

Also, if you're really going to buy the Note III, sell the device to your friend, get a 50$ cheap one, and then buy the Note III! I think it's better than investing in a good phone and selling it later.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @xDeepS:
Seriously? I am reallly considering the Z but lets see.

Holding onto my S4 as most of you suggested. I thought about selling my S4 and the Note 2 I get and get a very cheap phone till thenote 3 is announced then invest into it. I'll let you all know what happens. But for now I have my S4.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StellMonkey:
Yeah really... I had the Z but it overheats too much and I don't think the camera is better than the S4's camera... and Sony UI doesn't have that small cool features like air view if u like...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iede:
I will definitely keep my S4 and will go for Note III when it is launched,

Price of note 2 will drop again when note III is released, so better to stick with your S4 mate ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HS™:
S4 is a Good choice for now my friend Note 2 will loose it's charm once note 3 is released btw in bangalore india it's available at 27500 inr with bill :thumbup:

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] popi09:
Sorry if this has been asked but will this phone work on T-Mobile's network? Like get 3G/4G? Or will it be stuck on edge/GPRS? Thinking about buying it but want to make sure it'll work before I do. Thanks in advance.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] brosenz:
I am using it with their pre-paid service with HSPA+ and runs very fast, around 5Kbps, that is more than enough for me
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] popi09:
Awesome! Thanks for answering!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] avetny:
Yes I got H and H+ everywhere !
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] brosenz:
Same here, HSPA+ all around
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] wrxdrunkie:
What out lte? Nigri electronics mentions lte bands in the specs but all the reviewers so far have said no lte. I really want to import one and definitely will if it can work with all T-Mobile frequencies.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattProductions:
Hi guys!

A few hours ago, I flashed a custom rom, but now most of my storage is "gone".

Before flashing, I had like 16GB (of 26GB) free, even with some movies/pictures on it.

But after flashing, I only have 7GB left and I didn't put any movies/big files on it.

I coudn't find the place that takes up most of my storage via normal apps.

How can I find this and delete the uncessary files?

Matt
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 99piotrek:
Probable because all your files were copied to data/media/0

This is your new SD card so you can delete whatever you don't need
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattProductions:
Awesome, thanks for the advice.

But why are my files copied? I did a complete wipe before flashing?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redbull123:
You probably wiped system (your ROM) and factory reset - this doesn't wipe 'data/media/', which is where your content is, such as music, movies, etc. It's basically because 4.2.2 has multiple user support. You have one storage directory (your sdcard) but there are different paths that are symlinked to that directory..
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattProductions:
Oww, like that. So you have to delete those files (data/media) manually after flashing?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redbull123:
Well, if you want to keep them (your old files) just move them into the data/media/0 folder. If you have CWM backups, leave the 'clockworkmod' folder in data/media/.

The way to do it from 4.1.2 to 4.2.2 was backup your content to PC, format your system and sdcard in recovery (this would wipe everything), then adb push or sideload your 4.2.2 rom and then transfer your content back to the phone from your PC.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattProductions:
Ah, like that. It makes kinda sense.

Thanks guys, I really appreciate it!

I will update this post once more is ready.

Games NOT working:

Pokemon 2 removed - it actually works, needs AP & XP patches

- Golden Sun: Too glitchy

- Final Fantasy Chocobo Tales: refuses to boot

- Sonic Racing: Error on boot regarding save file

- Element Hunters: Save game related error on character creation

Playable games with issues:

- Bangai-O: very minor graphic glitch on explosions (static square image instead of a proper explosion)

- Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon: When you set your unit to move, it shows a very strange graphic glitch. Relatively annoying.

- Phantasy Star Zero: Bugged graphics on character dialogue - still readable, though. Very minor annoyance.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] iRhyiku:
I'm sorry I just.. refuse to believe it actually works beautifully..

I'm in awe :eek:
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Pizza_user:
Well, it works beautiffuly ^^
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] abdel12345:
In first post make a list like ppsspp thread with all playable games. No need to describe that its excellent when you said the same about all so just make a simple list. One with excellent another for ok and just dont list the bad ones. Just a suggestion. I want to buy this but i gotta ask my mom to use her credit card

Sent from my LG-P970g
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Fenrir007:
From what I have seen so far, most games will be completely playable. To give you an idea, I just tested Phantasy Star Zero - a heavy 3D game - and it ran close to flawless. The only bug I found was a minor distortion on some of the character dialogue screens. The actual combat zones had no problem at all and ran at full speed. If you have any interest on playing DS games on the Xperia Play, I'd say it is pretty safe to buy it now.

If you are buying it to play a specific game, tell me which game that is and I will test it for you.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] abdel12345:
Thanks but im not worried about testing all the reviews seem awesome so far i.just dont have a way of buying it until my mom lets me use her card and ill just give her the 8$ in cash :D

Pokemon heartgold works great, no problems yet. Pokemon black 2 would not load like others have said.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] BrianChase:
So far I haven't found a single thing not playable. I just spent some time with AC: Wild World, Mega Man ZX Advent, Mario Party, Mario Kart, KH:358/2, New Super Mario Bro's, and Dragon Quest IX and everything is simply playable. Nothing really runs at perfect fps, Mega Man gets really close though, but the frame skipping is done so well that everything blends and works without the usual input lag you'd expect from frame skipping.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Howdareme:
desmume saves also work on draStic. Just transfer them

EDIT: Pokemon black 2/white 2 doesn't work on ALL devices, only some.

I tested some games. All works flawslly (I have ICS with 1,2 overclock):

Animal Crossin: Wild World - 90-100% of full speed

Korg DS-10 - works in 100% (this is why I bought it immedietly as it shown in GP)

Coocking Mama 2&3 - both works in 90-100% of full speed.

Mario Kart - some lags but very playable!

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - works great 95-100% of full speed

This is amazing emulator. Fantastic GUI, great soung and graphics emulator, fully XPO. BEST OF BEST.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] LegionTHEFecalExcretion:
Excuse me while I pick my jaw up from the floor.....Wow. Simply wow. This is without question the most well developed emulator on Android. From the features to the gui to the performance, I am blown away. Sooo many games I have to catch up on now!

Thanks for your information and nice to know that

I haven't bought DS and played its games before

This emulator will revive my Xperia Play and I think I am gonna enjoy with this emulator and its great games for long time :laugh::highfive: :highfive: :highfive: :victory:
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] rubbergnome:
this emulator seems amazing... but how well does it do without overclock?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] BrianChase:
My device isn't overclocked and you can see my results and thoughts a few posts back :)

Spoiler alert: they're good.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] zefyx:
Haven't seen it mentioned, does our Xperia controls work out of the box or does the emulator allow us to map the buttons?

EDIT: Saw a couple of reviews that say MOGA controllers are working, so I'm going to say yes. Off to buy the app now. I missed so many great DS games and I've regretted it to this day. Time to make up for it!

I had to map them, its a seemless process :P
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] abdel12345:
Well since this emulator is working great what ds games are out tgere that are fun? (The only ones ive played were the pokemon series and the mario games) both are great but are very repetitive. So what games do you guys recommend to look into

Sent from my LG-P970g
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] yekasangredevago:
[MENTION=5025841]abdel12345[/MENTION] , I recommend:

Crash Of The Titans

Dragon Ball Z - Supersonic Warriors 2

Kirby - Squeak Squad (a bit childish, but entertaining)

Mega Man ​​ZX Advent

Phantasy Star Zero

Sonic Chronicles - The Dark Brotherhood

Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's - World Championship 2011 - Over the Nexus

hope I've helped .. :)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Fenrir007:
Well, without knowing what kind of games you like, I will just recommend a bunch of different genres, excluding anything that is too touch screen reliant. I will focus on lesser known titles:

Jump Ultimate Stars: Basically Smash Bros with anime characters. Great game! Japanese but has a full translation patch (to english and I think also to italian). Minor touchscreen use (cards you can click on during the fights to summon a helper that will deliver a blow and leave - can be used to chain combos).

Advanced Wars Days of Ruin: A very good turn based strategy game, more balanced than Dual Strike and with a less happy-go-lucky and more gritty storyline.

Bangai-O Spirits: Mix of shmup with puzzle, very crazy game. You have fixed, single room stages that you have to clear, and you can move anywhere. There are millions of bullets going after you and the key element mechanic is the ability to reflect enemy bullets under certain conditions.

GTA Chinatown Wars: Overhead GTA like the first 2 games in the series. Very fun. Minor touchscreen use for some gimmicks.

Etrian Odyssey: Old school dungeon crawler in first person, kinda like Might and Magic, Stonekeep etc, but anime style. You construct the dungeon tiles with the touchscreen, if I remember correctly.

Rune Factory 1, 2, & 3: Mix of Harvest Moon and Secret of Mana - manage a farm, craft and sell items, cook, battle and capture monsters to train them and get married. Very solid gameplay and character interactions. The 3rd one is widely regarded as the best in the series, but the other 2 are also great. If you play the last one first, you may find it hard to go back to the other ones due to mechanics evolution, so play it in order if you plan on playing them all.

Kaiju Busters: Another Monster Hunter type of game. In this one, you fight giant monsters from old japanese movies. Entirely in japanese.

Bleach: Dark Souls 2: Treasure made fighting game that is surprisingly fun and fast paced. Uses a bit of the touchscreen, but not too much.

Element Hunters: Think Monster Hunter for the DS. Japanese only but has a menu translation patch out there.

Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer: Roguelike RPG. Very unforgiving.

Lufia: Curse of the Sinistrals: Its a remake of Lufia 2 turned into a more action oriented direction. Has gorgeous 3D stages.

Space Invaders Extreme 1 & 2: Space Invaders on LSD. You may need to keep an eye on both screens at some points.

Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors: Also known as 999, it is a very good puzzle adventure with a presentation similar to a Visual Novel. Very good writing and storyline, and some interesting puzzles and surprises.

Okamiden: Okami on the DS. Wonderful game!

Culdcept DS: Board game that is a mix of Monopoly with MTG or Yu Gi Oh. I really love it, and if you enjoy Monopoly (or card games) I urge you to try. Has a translation patch for a full translation.

Radiant Historia: To some, the best JRPG on the DS. Regardless, a very solid game.

Sands of Destruction: Another JRPG.

Soma Bringer: Think Diablo, only anime style. Great for coop. Has a full translation patch.

[MENTION=5312613]Fenrir007[/MENTION] thanks alot that was a great list with nice descriptions. Ill definitely try gta though i dont know if it will run well.

Concerning FFTA2 and the settings menu...

The game crashed on me every time I entered the third quest UNTIL I disabled multi-threaded 3d rendering. I originally enabled the best settings to see how slow games would be at first and was pleasantly surprised to find out how perfect they all worked! That's why it was enabled, but since the Xperia Play is a single core, you might as well disable that setting for all games. I'm going to retry the pokemon games that didn't work for me now.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] BrianChase:
Let me know what differences you see between having the setting on and off. While I wouldn't have thought it would have made a difference with a single core gpu the wording used in the help button makes it sound like it could. What didn't work for you in the pokemon games btw? I know they're a big reason a lot of people want the emulator so I'm surprised there are any issues with them.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] yekasangredevago:
[MENTION=3154151]BrianChase[/MENTION] ,the bug Pokemon games and some other games, will be resolved in the next week according to the developer "Exophase" is more, this full-time testers asking, to help you identify exactly all problems, and even willing to pay ..

what most hope to fix (or add) is the ability to adjust the windows to the screen (as they are very annoying black edges, and leave very small screens) :(
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] X-Giga:
1.Shin Megami Tensei - Devil Survivor 2 (Works well)

2.Radiant Historia (Works well)

Pokemon white/black 1 works fine with any settings.

Pokemon blazeblack is a popular hack of the rom, it freezes on "new game"

Pokemon white/black 2 doesn't even start on mine with any settings changes. I tap it and Drastic goes right back to the main menu.

Another fix I found for FFTA2 was setting the Controller Opacity to 0 forced a bunch of black lines to cover the screen, making it unplayable. Setting it to more than 0 (I tried 3 at the lowest) fixed this problem.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] fma965:
I thought certain pokemon black/white v2 didn't work on emulators for windows either, don;t you need a specially "patched" version. No links.

Also why even bother messing with opacity of controller? just enable "the disable on screen controls" option.

[MENTION=5312613]Fenrir007[/MENTION]

ahh ok, is very confusing .. :/

I have questioned whether or not to add them to the list, because it does not work well without overclock if I do not want to confuse users ..

ah, a question out of curiosity .. because to overclock your device to 1.6 ghz??:confused:

when a 1 ghz max - and 245 mhz min - works for me all excellent (FPSE, Mupen64 AE, PPSSPP (all games that I have posted in my thread), and to even heavier android games as: NFS Most Wanted, Modern Combat 4, GTA Vice City (with graphics medium-high) is not afraid to deteriorate faster your hardware?

(again, just curious) :p
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Fenrir007:
Not really worried about hardware damage. The Xperia Play CPU was made to run at 1.4ghz, but Sony underclocks it to 1.0ghz. Besides, I only use that to game - normally I leave it at 1.2ghz for daily use (and a lot less on my off screen profile to save battery). I also downvolt it in -50mv, which makes it run only 50mv above the original voltage of 1200mv (and runs stable on mine), so it doesnt even get that much heat. Battery life is not a concern since I use a 2600mha battery (+ the whole downclocking and downvolting helps).

Oh, and my Xplay is relatively new. A lot of people have been cooking their Xperias for a far longer time than I have, and I never heard of a single one of those killing their phones due to it. I´m not saying it doesn't happen, just that it is unlikely if you take care. Actually, I think ARM cpus have an overheat protection built in them, dont they?

1.6ghz is indeed overkill in some cases, but I prefer to test everything on a set pattern just to avoid having to fiddle with each game setting to find the sweet spot. Also, some games may seem to run great, but will drop frames here and there on certain stages or situations - to avoid all of that I just leave it at 1.6ghz.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] yekasangredevago:
[MENTION=5312613]Fenrir007[/MENTION]

ah okey man, awesome response .. :)

in my case I use to make UNDERVOLT SetXperia -75 .. and from time to time (only on rare occasions, I overclock to 1.2 ghz) and thus, won 20% of performance. (and went on to win up to 10 fps in some games PPSSPP, and between 8 or 10 fps in games android) very little affect battery life ;)

in my case I care even less about battery life, and that I have one (mugen power) of 3600 mah .. ;)

addition, a profile setting with setxperia battery saving (Conservative Governor - 24 mhz, min / max 1ghz) to turn off the screen and also to lose more than 30% of battery.

and I get the battery to last 2 days, giving an average use (25% surfing the internet, 25% testing and other applications, and 50% playing) XD
