iPhone 5S "S for Same"

iPhone 5C "C for Crap"

Xperia Z "Z for Zenith" which means Above all. Top notch premium phone.

thanks a lot Samsung for inventing plastic crap. you got a follower now and its name is same of a fruit.

[MENTION=591147]Entropy512[/MENTION], can you explain the benefits (if any), of the 5s having a 64-bit processor? Thanks :)
[Xperia Z General] xarive:
I'm not entropy but I'm willing to give out my opinion on this. A bigger faster processor is only more battery hogging. it could helps in gaming on mobile but after all, smart phones are phones and not computers. why do you need a 64bit processor for that ? in terms of beauty iPhone might take the lead but this innovative are going down the curve.
[Xperia Z General] Maddhouse:
Let's make a phone because we are loosing business to Android but they still release a phone which you cannot customise in anyway, unlike Android which is completely customisable not only the Z but even the HTC one SG4 ect.

I like this :D
[Xperia Z General] mysticmetal:
thanks man! :)
[Xperia Z General] LosserKlosser:
I came from an S2 with 8 MP camera to Z with the 13.1 MP.

I just don't care much about it. 8 MP or 13 or 20 - it's fine by me. I have a Nikon D80 for taking pictures. My phone is for taking snap-shots here and now. I don't buy a phone because of the camera if picture quality is equal to Wildfire S.

Am I the only one who does not care that much about camera?

LTE network for hi-speed mobile data, large screen for my large hands and storage capacity for the apps I need, SD-card option to move data (why can you not store ANY type of file you want to on an iPhone?) quick loading of webpages and apps because of a powerful CPU, quick and reliable location service and navigation, SSH access to manage Ubuntu servers, FTP clients and servers for filesharing directly from my SD card via wireless network in my home, the ability to mount the storage as a portable USB drive, and tons of other things - those are the things that really matters to me. My phone should be a powerful computer always connected to the internet when I'm out of the house - not a camera.

The small screen on iPhone is enough for me to not want it. I don't get why Apple does not release a 5" version.
[Xperia Z General] knightpt:
Most of the comments i hear from customers about iphone and apple are:

1) Design

2) Inovation

3) Luxury feel

With this 2013 launch of 5S and 5C apple is going to a dangerous road.

- Design-wise continues to be good but people are geting way bored of too many phones that look-alike the previous generation of iphones.

- Inovation-wise it's clear by now that Apple is no longer on the forefront. People already identify Samsung as "leading".

- Luxury status - With the launch of a plastic-budget oriented phone Apple is starting to lose the relationship most people had between Iphone = expensive, luxury, i'm-so-rich feeling.

In fact, in my customer rating i would have to say that 9out of 10 iphone users absolutely hated the idea of the 5C "cheap iphone", most were so but-hurt of losing a little bit of the premium feel of the brand that mentioned that they won't upgrade to the 5S and in fact they'll try out Android afterwards.

A lot of people like glamour, luxury and the premium feel of having a highly famous device on their posession, if Apple starts losing that apeal i'm quite sure i'll sell more android and less IOs very, very soon.

[Xperia Z General] fareeed:
Haha I guess that's what it always comes down to in the end the "more is better" bs ;)
[Xperia Z General] DrKrFfXx:
For me:

Design: Z, not much to say, some might prefer the clean 5S design though

Usability: Z, bigger screen, more res, more content, specially webpages.

Performance: Tie?

OS: Z, Android customizability anyone?

Battery life: Surely goes to the 5S, Apple devices usually excell at battery life

Camera: ??

Screen: 5S, I like color reproduction, white balance, and overall screen quality of the 5. Nothing to do the "viewing angles" people complain about, I care **** about it.

if i ever want plastic i'll buy a Toy rather than an iPhone 5C CRAP or Samsung!
[Xperia Z General] Raedek:
You can't compare specs between iOS and android. IOS will always run more smooth on lesser hardware, because it was made for it. The camera probably destroys the Z's. The old iphone 5 already did. Battery probably a tie, or a bit better on the 5s. Apple don't rely on heavy techspecs because they don't need to.. Wonder when reviewes get that fact?..
[Xperia Z General] mysticmetal:
Yes i can compare specs between them. we're now in a age that blessed us with Quad core, Real Octa core and Snapdragon 800 like blazing fast and battery efficient processors while apple still on their A6/A7 chip with dual core. by looking at this when we reach to 10 core processors, apple will then introduce its first quad core iPhone it seems. battery is way way more efficient on android than iPhone and i say this by personal experience and i do own an iPhone. Apple really should put in heavy specs if this being the scenario.

and i don't quite understand why everyone is saying iPhone 5C is a cheap iPhone?
[Xperia Z General] joejoe23:
Camera:It has dual led. And seeing how previous iPhones take good photos, I'm assuming this one will be better. And it has a slow mo camera where you can specifically choose which part of the video you want it to slow mo. That's a good feature.

Me neither it's expensive for a plastic IPhone.. Half the price is just the stupid name/brand called Apple

For the hardware etc they have put in the new iPhones price is too high. AGAIN! I'll never buy something like IPhone for.that price.

One thing where XZ falls behind is dark shots with the camera...Too much grain & noise..Even the S3 takes better pics in the dark..and even iphone 5.

[Xperia Z General] danw_oz:
IMO the only thing that iphone have, are good/great cameras (from the 5 on), it is easy to make a phone fast an not require high specs for the hardware when the OS is so constrained and has very few smart and interactive features, one thing Apple are trying to copy of android without lawsuit are widgets and a few more interactive features.

The tech was great and revolutionary when they came out, and now it is just the same as pretty much all the previous. Some work mates were showing me some new features in the new OS from time to time, and every time I have not seen anything new that wasn't on my first smart phone the HTC Desire.

The only reason iphone did well is because they were pretty much the first true smart phone and people are like sheep... ;) I am certain the very few people have purchased these an iphone outright, I am sure that the only reason they did so well is the sheep thing :) and that it was easy for people to get them on contracts.
[Xperia Z General] Tommy-Geenexus:
How can apple crap be compared with this beauty?

A 4 inch display is way too small, and it looks ugly in 16:9 format.

Rest is quite good but nothing new, so..
[Xperia Z General] Hellscythe:
Does anyone know whether the iPhone 5s is a cortex a15 or cortex a57?

It claims to be like 40x faster to the 5 while still being a dual core.

Also I don't believe cortex a15 is 64bit
[Xperia Z General] nevekzzz:
If the xperia z is already better than 5s,what about the xperia z1 which is coming soon? frankly i m a samsung s3 user but when i read about the xperia z1 specs it blows me away,there is just no competion from the 5s
[Xperia Z General] ~iPod~nano~:
For now, no benefit at all, except supporting more than 4GB of RAM, Like PC was.

Faster processor that apple said is not from the 64-bit processor, but only because more transistor.

(Like Snapdragon too, every new processor, more transistor, better optimization, etc.)

Yes, someday smartphone will past the 4GB RAM, and I believe other processor manufacture will transition to 64bit too.
[Xperia Z General] Kirkymole:
To be honest the 5s isn't competition. It's prey.

Ride it like you downhill it.

I've just seen someone at the bus stop with a 5c shouting and swearing because it was frozen. I think it was a 5c as it was blue with an apple logo on the back.

Ride it like you downhill it.
[Xperia Z General] D33KK:
I don't think iPhone 5 or 5s even compared with an Xperia Z is a valid comparison.

The Z has a quad core which runs on Android which is not optimized for any specific core/screen size.

iOS only has 2 different screen size's to accommodate for etc

If I held an iPhone 5 next to an Xperia Z apps such as messaging/camera will open pretty much the exact same time even although the Z has double the processing power.
[Xperia Z General] fareeed:
Honestly, I have both an iPhone and the Xperia Z. Don't shoot me here but I like both. The only two features that I absolutely love on iOS are iMessage and FaceTime. Yes I know (just use skype or whatsapp...) but neither of these solutions are integrated as seamlessly as these two and I don't think anyone can dispute that. My Z is still my go to device and the one I use daily though :)
[Xperia Z General] Weenz:
I traded my iPhone 5 in for an xperia Z, and to be honest I wouldn't go back. The reasoning behind it, is that the Z does everything I need a phone to do, the iPhone didn't, even jailbroken. However, you can't say that Apple don't know what their doing in regards to 8 mp cameras and 4 inch screens. They are still rolling in money, so they must be doing something right.
[Xperia Z General] OsiBasi:
They do spend quite alot on ads, and paying of reviewers.
[Xperia Z General] crixley:
Any proof of the paying of reviewers part?

I'm not a fan of iPhones as ios bores me, but I also won't say they aren't well made and don't run very smoothly
[Xperia Z General] TamSE3P:
I hear a lot of "crApple" bashers, but honestly, I don't see the hate, nor the hype. I have had my Z for a long while and before that, the Xperia Play, and the S. I've used several iterations of the iPhone (1G, 3G, 4S, and 5). How do I compare the phones. Well, Android and iOS are two very different OSes. Can you like one and still like the other? Yeah! I love both operating systems. Also I love how easy it is to repair iOS devices. I HATE repairing android devices. They're all assembled with glue and tape while Apple phones are assembled with screws. I guarantee that anything that breaks on an iPhone (headphone jack, charging port, buttons) can be replaced while on an Android, those parts are most likely soldered onto the motherboard and regularly just turn those repairs away at my shop. Besides the repairability, I love customization which is why I love Android, but that's also why Android requires such a high end processor and PC levels of RAM when iOS doesn't waste it's time on such things. Sure, the new 64bit processor on the 5S seems like a big deal, but honestly, it's not. Also, if I recall correctly, the 64bit is only a dual core, which really, is more energy efficient than expected. iOS is easy to use, even my non-english speaking parents use iPhones and are plain happy with it. That's great because I get to communicate with them in ways I never thought I could. There's many disadvantages with Android phones in general and it's the fact that it is TOO varied. I mean, with all honesty, we still have app incompatibilities, long waits on updates, and bugs in the system. iPhones don't suffer from this. There is only a few iterations of their phone, they all share similar screen sizes and have no issues with app compatibilities. You guys can argue all you want, but I will always say what I always have. We are lucky to have variety, it creates innovation and diversity. If it works for you, then that's your phone.
[Xperia Z General] scorpi786:
Never had a iphone and never intend to, cant stand the way they limit everything on their OS.

But I wont knock there phones that much, tbh the 4s takes some amazing pictures sometimes even better then my XZ or my wifes s4.

And the new 5s is still 8MP but I guarantee the pics will 9/10 be better then the XZ, the auto shooting mode is great on the iphones its very fast in capturing and shooting no delay. When you take indoor pics of kids, thats a very important factor.

Plus the screens are strong and great viewing angles/color which is a shame really seeing as its only 4.0". It also dont need great hardware specs because the os is catered to run for it.
[Xperia Z General] Kirkymole:
One thing, personally, I can't stand about Android is the manufacturers overlays over the basic Android style. Touch wiz is the ugliest and most un-user friendly interface I have ever come across. That said, the Sony over lay isn't too bad, it's pretty much plain android with some icons on it. Apple take that problem away completely by using a standard system.

Don't get me wrong. I hate Apple with a passion and the things I could say about them would probably get me on the bad end of a hit man. Had IPhones in the past, never again.

Ride it like you downhill it.
[Xperia Z General] Mitsuya Cider:
There's no point in having an apple device if it can't be jailbroken.

My iphone 5 was a boring piece of crap until it could be jailbroken. So I will just wait it out.
[Xperia Z General] roaringhere:
No! You're not the only one who does not care about the camera performance.

I use EOS 7D and 40D to take beautiful pictures, not phone camera...

When I buy a smartphone, I go for what fancy me and will not stop me from

doing what I want with it. So, it's only Android which have this facility. I had a

fruit themed phone once, and I had used it for just over a week, as I don't want

to be tied to iTunes and I hate a closed ecosystem...

Maybe iphone 5 would be my last iphone after 3G and 4S, now im more to android..
[Xperia Z General] 888noxxi:
the 64bit processor is actually much more efficeint than the z's, its not all about the number of cores
[Xperia Z General] Hellscythe:
yes thats true.

next year we will be seeing more phones using the arm cortex A57 based cores
[Xperia Z General] Pixelguy:
Iv owned a iphone 4s and now own the xperia z...

one thing i will give to applye is how accurate the camera is taking pictures of what you actually see, the screen colours and the build quality of the device but i just hated the OS so so so damn much and the tiny screen.

My Z is awesome but the camera is very hard to get decent pictures with in low light or on landscapes and sometimes using one hand starts to ache...

im not saying i wouldn't go back to an iphone but im saying i wouldnt go out of my way to do it.
[Xperia Z General] Kirkymole:
One thing I will say about the 5S is this...battery life is terrible.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tkepk181:
What do you mean you can't flash anything else? When you flash, are you wiping everything clean each time before flashing ROMs or are you dirty flashing?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bigchuq:
yes, i'm wiping everything, whenever i try to install any other rom i have some type of error. i'm new to this so please excuse my noobness. i've tried to flash a stable cm10, among others with no luck.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] IDontKnowMang:
Do you have the md4 boot loader?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
The new S3 have been modded by Sprint /Samsung and require a modded recovery in order to mount storage. The other issue is that you can not flash an aosp style rom. You should be able to flash any TW rom but it won't allow aosp roms to flash. None of the developers have a new S3 so until someone gets one ir someone volunteers one this won't be solved.

Remember

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bigchuq:
I believe so, but i'm not sure is that @ the end of the build number? If so, yes
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
If your getting a status 7 error that is the bootloader error flash this in recovery it will update all your firmware and bootloader. http://db.tt/Qt6NcH0a

After flashing this make sure you reboot the phone then try going back into recovery and flashing the rom you want.

Hi I couldn't find a thread about downgrading CM 10.1 for evita.

I upgraded to 10.1.3 RC2 about two days ago and I'd like to go back to the nice stable 10.0.0. To upgrade to 10.1.3 I had to downgrade touch panel and upgrade hboot to 2.14. I tried installing CM 10.0.0 through recovery, but the touch screen wouldn't work. So I downgraded my hboot back to 1.09 and upgraded the touch panel. However my touch screen still would not work in 10.0.0.

Not really sure what else I should do, still sitting around in 10.1.3 because I at least had the sense to make a back up.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
You didn't need to downgrade your hboot to use cm10, but are you positive that you downgraded your touchscreen firmware? The fact that it isn't working would suggest that your ts firmware is still upgraded.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] bman3k:
Guess I'll bump my hboot back up

I followed the instructions here for the downgrade and it worked on my first try. I just used upgrade_tp.zip (same post) for the upgrade and the results in command prompt say that it worked. Is there a different way I can re-upgrade my touch panel?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Why do you want to upgrade it? You need it downgraded to run cm10.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] bman3k:
I had the original firmware for my touch panel when using CM 10.0.0, the instructions for 10.1.3 said I needed to down grade my touch panel firmware, so I did. Now I want to go back to CM 10.0.0 so I figure I'd need to upgrade my touch panel firmware once again,
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
No, cm10 requires downgraded ts firmware. That just means you already had the older ts firmware when you first ran cm10.

Sent from my Evita
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] bman3k:
Ok, I'll downgrade it when I get home then.

How come I didn't need to downgrade it when I installed CM 10.0 in the first place? Also there aren't any notes on the CM wiki about downgrading firmware for CM 10.0, only 10.1.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
You didn't need to downgrade it in the first place because you already had the older ts firmware, like me. The newer ts firmware came as part of the JB update to our phone, so if you hadn't RUU'd to 3.18 yet you still had the original (older/downgraded) ts firmware that came with the phone when it originally sold.

You have to think of it like a timeline: the older cm builds were developed while the older ts firmware was in place. Regardless of whether there's notes about it on the cm10 page you definitely need the downgraded firmware.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] bman3k:
Thanks for your help!

To upgrade to CM 10.1.3 I had to RUU to 3.18 though (which is why I thought I had to downgrade), so I'm a bit confused where that leaves me.

Edit: Nevermind! I did upgrade to the 3.18 RUU, but then I downgraded the TP firmware to make CM 10.1 work, so I still have the downgraded firmware. Just had a brain fart :P.

Hi everyone, i was wondering if i can install The apps of defect like camera app, video reproductor, gallery, music reproductor, and lock screen from a Factory LG optimus 4X HD with stock rom 4.1.2, to cyanogenmod 10.1. Can i get those apps in a rom like cyanogenmod?

Thanks. :)

But stock 4x HD 4.1.2 Camera is avaiable and Keyboard :D and download 4x hd theme haha

[LG Optimus 4X HD] moneyvirus:
to be honest i don't see the point getting CM10.x and wanting all the stock stuff....

maby you could try a different kernel like iodak/werewolf on your stock rom. To get a lot of settings done on the cpu/gpu side.

it will improve your batterylife and preformance in my opinion and still having all the "great" options from stock.

just my 2 cents.

Wim
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Dazr56:
Now that i think, you are totally right, it havnt any point change to aosp like CM, and conserv stock stuff.. What i want to, is to have a better rom, improve the battery, something smother and diferent, Than my Phone go faster that it can, conserving those kind of stuff that i mentioned before. You recomend me to install a diferent kernel? On a OS stock 4.1.2? How can i do that? Or if you know a rom with all The caracteristics that i want to, but whit The versión 4.2.2 o if is 4.1.2 be something that you can say: WOW i love it *-* Jaja.

Thanks:D
[LG Optimus 4X HD] moneyvirus:
Hi,

In my opinion there are 2 great kernels with decent battery life and great performance iodak kernel v8 and werewolf kernel v8b.

Please try to root your device and unlock your phone, put custom recovery, and enjoy the world.

For further questions about how to do. Search or zend me a pm im willing to help you abit
