[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tOrNadO™:
Nexus devices are boring UI.. I agree they are the best devices in the market.. But what's a Smartphone without some cool stock features.. I would definitely miss Sony's UI, Media apps and Camera.. And obviously music quality.. And also the look of the phone.. Although u can get all kinds of MODs, but they never are the same.. Xperia Z suits all my needs.. Its waterproof, quad core and 2gb ram, official support for 1 more year atleast, official cm support, official cwm support, lots of awesome devs, mods and cool features the phone exclusively provides.. U don't need anything else for another 2 years.. That's an awesome device.. Although on the other hand, Nexus 4 is cheap and good quality device.. Nexus 5 also is worth buying.. But i may have to skip Nexus and just go with Xperia Z.. :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Hamodi:
its depend on what you looking for on the phone ,, i would suggest HTC one .. or Nexus 5

but if you gonna replace your phone why not to save more money and keep the Xperia S for another months and get a High level phone ,, like Z1 or G2
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lordoftheriffs:
I would stick with XS and buy a decent flagship a couple years later. Seriously, the only thing that is very different with the XS and the Galaxy S4 my girl uses is the battery life. XS is the same fast in UI as the S4, has comparable camera performance and in only very heavy 3D games you can see a difference. I don't mind the bigger screen, newer android edition, IR and the slimmer form factor at all. But S4 has roughly TWICE the battery life. 4.4.2 on GS4 is much less stable than on XS, with random reboots.

Don't mind if there are more roms for other phones. Our roms might be few in numbers but are all good.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Redstarr1:
On the other hand, Android 4.3 is a lot more stable on the Galaxy S4. And the memory is a big difference as well, 2GB for Galaxy S4, don't know how much of that is available for multitasking, but it will be at least 1GB more than what we have. I can barely multitask with my Xperia S. It's also a popular phone so there are lots of accessories. And it will get an official Android 4.4 ROM so the CM ROM might be less stable now, but in time it will always be more functional than what we will have. And it supports 4G, I think most people don't have 4G in their dataplan yet, but I do since recently (I don't have to pay anything extra for it either) and it's kind of bugging me that I can't use it.

If you're suggesting to stick with this phone for more years when it's already nearly 2 years old, I'm thinking you don't really care about speed in a phone. That's good for you I guess, but other people don't have that patience. And 2 years is a good age I think, also as you say battery life has nearly doubled in the last years and that's the most maddening thing about this phone.

[MENTION=4921331]sudhindrakv[/MENTION]: I think it's rather odd that you like the Xperia Z because of the CM support, but on the other hand want a phone with OEM-specific features. If you're going to use CM on it, you won't use those features anyway. In my opinion you should get a Nexus, I see you hanging around in the CM11 thread anyway. A lot of features can be ported to AOSP ROMs anyway, like the Sony media apps.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lordoftheriffs:
Well, 4G is not available in greece either, and according to what I read, it kills the battery, while hspa is already fast enough. I don't see much difference between 4.1 and 4.3 anyways, apart from lockscreen widgets. You are right about multitasking, though in XS it kills useless apps first.

S4 has 780 mb free ram. Our CM11 will evetually get stable too. Just my points.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tOrNadO™:
No no.. What i meant was OEM specific features are my favourite.. Stock SONY is what i love the most.. I mentioned CM support because after your 2years company support ends, atleast you will have some support from development.. That's why i mentioned.. About CM11, its the only ROM i tested after eXistenZ.. Not into much testing lately, got bigger plans.. Building one myself.. ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Redstarr1:
It seriously only has 780 MB RAM free of the initial 2GB? I know free RAM is wasted RAM, but that's just sad. This is why I never recommend Samsung.

There are some differences under the hood between 4.1 and 4.3, like Bluetooth 4.0 support (uses a lot less battery) and OpenGL. Our CM11 will get kind of stable, I'm just going to install it now by the way, but the available amount of RAM will just keep shrinking as Rayman needs to assign more for every new version of Android it seems (has to do with ION and no proper drivers, if less RAM is assigned it'll bootloop).

And about 4G, it depends on the frequency, but if the 800MHz band is used, 4G should use less power than 3G. In my country it's still only the 1800MHz band though.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tOrNadO™:
Yes.. I agree.. but 4g not yet so popular in India.. its only for rich people.. Even 3g plans are costly around here.. The only thing stopping me from thinking of buying Xperia Z is its already an year old. Another year and its completely gone.. It s gonna be a dead phone without sony support and probably devs would leave that phone and get some new one by that time.. It will be same like having Xperia S now.. Very few devs are here working for our device.. Its gonna be the same there too..

has anyone used it or any experience with kind of this....???
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] @rbiter:
Yes. The regular moga sucks. Step it up to the pro, hero pro or power pro. Not having a d-pad sucks.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toneedo:
i have a moga pro power and its awesome...i recommend to stick with Moga because they work with games on the development level...moga controllers are integrated naitively into moga compatible games...other 3rd parties manufacture uses HID bluetooth which also works well (moga also can be switched to HID mode), but not as fluid as being built for compatibility such as moga
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] NZtechfreak:
Definitely get a Moga Pro, either the new one which can charge your phone while you play, or the cheaper older model (which is also great, I have both).
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] tyvar1:
Get moga power pro! Just got mine! Totally worth it! :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] stanglifemike:
I use a PS3 controller with a GameKlip. Love that setup, and how easy it is to customize button configuration using the Sixasis app! I will consider getting the Samsung GamePad a a well though. It looks nice, just wish it was still white like its predecessor

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] maxnik1:
The app for the samsung gamepad is working perfectly with the Moga pro in b (HID) mode. The games I tested also recognize the controller, but unfortunately, they have to be bought from the samsung app store. The games from play store, don't get recognized by this app.

Sorry, about the quality of the image. :(
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] grabshell:
I have the moga hero power and I love it since day 1. I love the fact that it charges my phone, complete full buttons and above all the ability to insert it on my pocket. Very handy and portable.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] @rbiter:
Yeah, hero power is pretty damn cool. Finally got some time under my belt with it and it is worlds better than the original moga. People were concerned that buttons were too clicky and they're not. But the d-pad is a whole different story. Clicky as hell. Lol.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Hakired:
So does this mean unkown brand gamepad controllers might would have some compatibility issues compared to Moga? So it's not like the PC where you just slap on any controller and it will work? So it depends if the app developer can support the type of gamepad you use?

Also.

What advantages would the official Note 3 gamepad have over other popular gamepads such as MOGA?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Glen L:
so is this better than Moga?

Is it possible to use this with emulators?

OT: by the way, do you have to be rooted to use Moga?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] @rbiter:
Moga is great when it connects and/or is supported. It is great for emulators. Sixaxis app is better for apps that dont support 3rd party stuff, HID or aren't great with touch controls since you can always build a custom input screen with snapshot and profile for a game.

sent from my sm-9005.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jbuggydroid:
six axis is still a great app especially for games like the amazing spiderman that don't have moga support. But I honestly like the moga hero power better. Touch emulation is awesome and I did find an app that let's you set up touch emulation with the moga and the developer is pretty awesome too. Here's the play store link

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.locnet.gktouch
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Glen L:
The only reason why im considering Moga is because I dont have a gameklip.

And to order and ship a gameklip here cost the same as getting a Moga locally.

I do have sixaxis but I need a way to mount my Note 3
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jbuggydroid:
The moga is awesome. You'll love it
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Glen L:
Thanks.. Im considering it.

Would it work in all games? Like sixaxis that you can customize the controls?

Gameklip = $46.50

Moga Pro = $73.50

Okay Moga Pro here is more expensive that I thought. But its available locally
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jbuggydroid:
Check my post a few back. Has a link to an app that will allow you to set up touch screen emulation like the sixaxis app. I haven't used the app myself but the reviews look good and the developer is responsive

Also a lot of games are supporting it. Most game loft titles do
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] FireEye:
Im intrested in a gamepad for my note 3 in order to play while im "on the road".

as i understood, the moga has a stand for the device unlike the ps3 controller, is that true?

and is there any major differences from the hero to the pro? (moga)

btw - i got an external battery flip case for my note, it give me an extra 2900mah battery which give the device an extra width. so my question is can i still use the stand with this extra width?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jbuggydroid:
The moga has a built in clip that can hold the note 3. Should be able to even with a case as the clip extends out pretty far.

Also the only difference with the hero and the pro at least with the power series is size and possibly battery. My dad has the pro while I have the hero. The hero is designed for portability so it is smaller. If you have bigger hands then I would go with the pro since it is roughly about the same size as an Xbox controller
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] vicky517:
I like the gamepad for note 3 and willing to buy it.

Was any gamepad release of America 5 star..?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mcmaster81:
Hello, i have buy the Samsung Orginal gamepad. and i say it looks good enough for me. i played a long time with ps3 pad. But with gameclip or not it is not good portable. The Buttons on the Samsung pad works and feels good. my Note 3 fit in with a silikon sleeve on it. So this site from the gamepad looks good. The other site are Software. Not many games works direkt with this pad. The games from s console app are different then play store. i buy modern combat 4 from play store, it is installed but not visibel in Samsung app store or s console. So the gamepad works not right in modern combat 4 play store Version. right analog not working. now i must buy the Same game a second time. wait for my PayPal. other games works even then are not listed, Shadowgun deadzone, ingame key mapping. gta sa not working right analog. I hope that the gamepad is only wrong mapped for this games. So I search for solutions, for keymapping, for Touch key Emulation/mapping. and so to make a List of all working games sorted by the way they need to work. But my question is.. enough people here to open a Samsung gamepad gaming thread? people that have a Samsung gamepad and interested to get most games working. I hope.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] @rbiter:
I recommend getting one of the new moga hero's. The small one if you portability or the bigger one if you dont mind the bulk and far superior buttons, especially shoulder buttons and analog stick movement. The hero pro is still plenty good for casual gaming and rpg's and stuff. The bigger one is much better for fps and twitch gaming.

First Feedback for Samsung gamepad key and touchmapping. So apps that i try and dont work, does not find the pad or the right stick dont work: GKM touch, Gamepad 2 touch. For first Test and touch keymapping i use tincore keymapper (See play store or xda :) ) it find the gamepad and the right stick works correctly. So it has so much settings for Touch Control that i need a little time to See what games are all works. First i mean all games with touch. i play Real Racing 3 with the little steering wheel on the screen and Set the Touch trigger to area with Center and now it works, love the different settings for the Touch emulation. i buy modern combat 4 from play store and not will to buy a second time on Samsung apps, now with tincore it works 100%. search for an app to map the keys without Touch or emulates a ps3 Controller. give Feedback to you if i find. hope it helps everyone. now a little question. On shadowgun or shadowgun deadzone, this games detect my pad correct. There is ingame pad settings for key settings. can everyone tell me other games that has ingame gamepad key config?

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MohammadAG:
Nothing that would gain you root access.

The only ways to get root are:

* Preserving root from older installations.

* Install recovery and flash SuperSU zip (requires unlocked BL).

* Find an exploit for Android 4.3 that allows you to gain a root shell.

* Flash a custom FTF, not sure if that's possible on a locked BL.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
It isn't, the FTF that gain root access have a kernel.sin with ro.secure=0 instead of ro.secure=1

Because the kernel has been changed it needs an unlocked bootloader to flash.

Its basically the same as installing a custom kernel.
