[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *GalaxyDev*:
I believe more in GSMArena as it has proven to not be so biased as PhoneArena and the note 3 got in second place and you can see all the picture comparisons to see it's truly better

The much better viewing angles/sunlight visibility deterred me from the Sony. That's one thing Samsung does well.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] copualt3:
Gsm arena indeed rate the z1 behind the note 3 initially, but the recent z1 update has shown the potent z1 hardware capabilities starting to shine.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakkahf:
i agree with you in browsing gaming cause note 3 got bigger screen size , but in Music i think Xperia Z1 is better you can check the music player of sony it's so cool and the speakers are so clear , in Camera they aren't same check this website (dxomark) sorry can't post a link cause i'm new here , also you can take the best night shots by Xperia Z1 Camera

I don't believe in any of these websites GSMArena , Cnet , etc.... , cause they don't give the Sony devices what they are really worth i think Samsung giving some money to these websites lol

i think i'm going for Xperia Z1 and i wish Sony UI gets update to new Android KitKat SOON !

thank you for replaying :)

Hi

TBH, The Camera on the Note 3 is not the Best. It is OK. It does it's job. But compare it to the iPhone or the Sony Xperia, there is a difference. I did hear a lot of the time that there is a preference difference. (Some likes the N3, Others the Sony/iPhones).

Personally, I use my DSLR for some memorable shots and other artsy shots, but in those moments or other situations where it is awkward to bring out my large DSLR camera I would use my Phone camera.

Everywhere else, N3 excels.

In a real time user experience I can tell you that the battery life will not disappoint you. (2 days of batt life with little effort, but a whole day of usage is the norm)

The phone (Personally) does not heat up unless I game in 3D

Gaming is certainly a blast

The screen is very crisp and clear / colorful

USB 3.0 does show improvement under normal 3.0 operations

The specs live up to its name in real time usage.

But if Photo is a highly regarded feature, I would look at the LG G2 or the Sony Xperia or the Nokia 1020

All phones have their ups and downs :):victory:

let me tell you something i live in Turkey and there's alot of beautiful views here so i'm gonna use camera all time i know it's a phone not a camera but Xperia Z1 Cam takes a beautiful shoots especially in night that's a point

if you gonna tell me about the battery well Xperia Z1 battery is better i know it's less than Note 3 battery but if u have alook in the display ( bigger screen , Super AM-OLED ) that's all take alot from the Battery even if it's 3200 , also Xperia Z1 have a mode which apply you to use the phone for more than 7 days so i guess Xperia Z1 wins

both screens are great also i don't use USB 3.0 i Prefer WiFi Connections so it won't be useful for me but it's a Great improvement :)

at the end both devices have a great performance and great touches so i guess it's going to the buyer opinion

Thank you for this beautiful replaying :)

[LG Optimus 4X HD] pdonahue:
I have just managed to root my old LG P880/4xHD using advice from this forum. Thought I would try on an old phone first. One reason I tried is because I cannot update Android via the usual About phone, Software updates, Check now for updates. The Android version installed is 4.0.3. I am in Australia and it is possible the phone is an overseas model (got it from a friend in LG). Has "Not for Resale" stamped inside the back cover. When I try to update Android, I get an error message "Registered Error - Your device is not registered yet." I had hoped rooting would get around this but it hasn't. Have looked up old forum posts and there is talk of using .kdz files and all sorts of other things. Can anyone help me get around this registration issue but please be aware I am a novice and most of the older posts I read, I couldn't understand so simple explanations please. Thanks.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] dimi89:
What you have is developer or test device and it is a bit different from normal ones. Try googling more but you will have hard time....

Sent from my microwave.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] pdonahue:
Could it be that it has overseas firmware, I read in a two or three year old post that this can happen but there was a way to get around this.

PD
[LG Optimus 4X HD] dimi89:
So...Did you try flashing kdz file and updating it that way or ... ?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] shadowcore:
Its a year old phone, its not like its the nexus one or samsng galaxy s2...

Try flashing 4.12 with kdz. Google is your friend, try kdz flash 4.1.2 Optimus 4x hd.

Funny thing, when I bought my phone, only google asked me to register the phone, the usual Google Play thing. SO what do you exactly mean with REGISTER?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] skayable:
i think the whole phone isn't registred by LG for consumers, like dimi89 said it has to be a dev device. they aren't registred and cannot be updated/used the normal way. the serial number of this phone isn't present in the LG databases i think. Just flash kdz and everything is fine. You know that you don't get any support or warranty on that phone but you should know that.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pranii23:
Hello ,

I have bought a Z1 recently and came to know that the loudspeaker volume is lower than its predecessors. I saw the speaker grill , though its wider only one half of the area works. What does this mean? The volume coming out is a mono channel? Or can we expect sony to deliver an update to enable the other speaker if it exists!!. But i think there is another speaker which is not enabled !

Anyone else observed this? Or i just got a faulty piece :crying:

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sofir786:
One thing to mention is that the efficiency or the loudness of the phone is limited because of the waterproofing, it does not let sound escape as well as other phones.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bodson66:
Mine is way louder than my Xperia z , speaker placement is also better I don't constantly cover the speaker when watching a youtube video. My xperia Z was probably the worst speaker I have ever had, couldn't hear S**T. As mentioned the waterproofing will affect it a bit but it is much improved over it predecessor IMO

please help me in choosing and thank you for reading my thread

You should be able to get enough information from all the topics and threads, read around and decide for yourself what you prefer.

* Camera, people love it and people hate it

* Screen, people love it and people hate it

etc...

Ask the same question in the Note3 forum and get completely different answers.

Only you can decide if it's worth your money, it was worth mine (Camera is fine for me, wat is 'sociall'... it makes calls, sends whatsapps and I can check facebook, I can listen to music... it's not HTC one but good enogu, etc. But I'm sure the note3 would be too.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krimskram:
1. The problem we humans face are often not the lack of options, but knowing what to choose. If N3 did not exist you would be happy with Z1. Both phones are excellent.

2. The absolute recomandation: N3. It has GOOD software on release. Sony might have **** camera software on superb hardware - or the opposite. We just don`t know, yet.

If you are fond of tweaking and taking manual photos (at least for a while) the Z1 will suit you just fine. After the firmware update there is a little improvement. But: if you do have the pockets to fit the N3 I see no reason for not buying it.

Still in doubt: At the moment GSM arena gives you an honest opinion.

I`m really weary about the camera, but still have the Z1 because of pocketability - and a camera that is OK.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bodson66:
Both phone's are great. Screen is better on the Note3,

Photo's- Hard to say Samsung seems to be better at Software in this regard. I hate to say it but pictures from my Note1 that I took in new zealand look better than a lot of the pictures I've been taking with my Z1. Hoping things improve soon. I just seem to get a lot of noise with this Z1. FV5 is a great app and has improved my results but still expect more.

Music- I love the sony walkman app. I find it slick and love unlimited music. Sound quality will be similar.

Gaming will most like be draw as well. You don't see posted response time by either company. Both use the same snapdrogon800 unless you get the N3 with exynos,

Browsing will be the same as well. Depends on the browser you going to use.

I would say go to the store and play with them both- see which one you like.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] circledrag:
Hey everyone,

Recently I've been having freezing/overheating issues with my Galaxy SII (I9100-M). It gets hot up in the top left corner and freezes the phone to which I have to pull the battery. I've heard this could either be fixed with a new motherboard or a modem update but since my phone is still in warranty by about a month I wanted to try and have it fixed with Samsung. Here's the tricky part for me: I rooted the phone using Root_SuperSU.0.98-Busybox.1.20.2-S2-signed.zip (everything has been done using this method:

I unlocked it using the GalaxSim Unlock app in the XDA forums, however due to it being an early version I don't think it backed up my EFS ROM because part of the screen was cut off. I purchased the app and unlocked it properly with the next version (Galaxy_S_Unlock) and it's been unlocked since. So my problem is I need to know if I need to or can re-lock the phone for repair. There are no yellow triangles upon boot up and I just want to make sure it hasn't tripped any counters and it's back to factory settings remaining undetectable before I send it in for repairs. It was originally a Virgin phone (has since been unlocked to Telus) with a bunch of Bell bloatware apps with ICS.

Thank you in advance for any advice you can give me. I'm pretty new here and I have less than 30 days to sort this out and have it sent off for repairs.

TLDR: CM10.1 won't install, i tried dandroid and it works. I tried modifying rom to remove assert, i tried installing new boot loaders, still doesn't work

Hi, I have tried many different things to try and install CM 10.1 onto my Samsung S3 (It is from Telus in Canada, so it should be a I 747M if I'm correct)

I successfully installed another ROM, Dandroid (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2121506), but I really want to try CM10.

I have Team win recovery project 2.6, and when I try to install the rom it gives me an

"assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "d2att: || getprop("ro.build.product") == "d2att""

,to fix this I go into the "\META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script" and remove the first line including the semi colon.

After I try to install the ROM it just says "Error flashing zip..."

So I tried to install a new bootloader (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2321310) using this file, boot_CWM_I747MVLDMF1.zip, and through TWRP but that didn't change anything.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Hey no problem! That's a bummer that it wouldn't work. I'll try my best and maybe we can get it going.

1. Did you try creating your own idc file and setting permissions?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaloyan79:
Yes, I did create an idc file and experimented a bit with the following lines:

device.internal=0

touch.deviceType=touchScreen

touch.orientationAware=1

touch.gestureMode=default

touch.usingJitterFilter=1

I tried with different values for these parameters, but no luck.

Adding the .idc file has an effect, because the cursor that was visible before, is not showing when the idc is there. I hope its a matter of simply correctly configure and calibrate the device in the .idc file. I went through the android's help about the .idc files but I can't understand the calibration part there. It looks like you need to have some detailed knowledge about how the touch device on hp 23tm works and sends its data to the computer. I couldn't find such information anywhere.
