[Xperia Z1 General] One Twelve:
Because the nokia 520 - 720 hardware wise beat android at the price point. They all have proper GPS instead of A-GPS. other than the 720 the others have dual band wifi. A Rs.10k device with dual band wifi (!)

The biggest downside is WP8 app availability, flaky whatsapp and no centralised notifications.

Now the moto g has come out and is a serious contender in the low end stakes. Will have to see at what price its offered.

I don't know how the 1520 scored so high. Ability to save RAW.

Maybe its the battery

life

. But

sizewise

its more unwieldy. Great battery comes at a portability premium.

I've yet to to see it in the shops here.

I also find the scores between Z & Z1 curious. I did not think Z1 is compelling enough to upgrade for a Z owner. There is only 6 months between these devices. people balk at upgrading even a year later. eg. S3 owners not interested in going with S4 or Note 2 to Note 3. The biggest improvement with Z1 over Z is video.

There is no good way to do this. You would expect flagships to make it to the second round and not get paired with strong competition so early on like the G2 & note 3 were. I don't know how gsmarena chose the starting matches. Usually they pull names out of a hat. Its a good laugh.

Looks like htc one vs 1020 in the final.
[Xperia Z1 General] Aidey68:
So it's ended up the Nexus 5 vs Lumia 1020 in 1st SF and Lumia 520 vs 1520 :silly:

I suppose that Sony releasing the Z1 was due to the fact the Xperia Z was a bit behind the curve spec wise once the HTC One and S4 were looming.

The Z1 was perfectly timed for me, as the contract on my One X ended in October this year and I fancied a change of manufacturer ;)

I agree that some of those match ups were very silly indeed
[Xperia Z1 General] LJE:
I'm pretty sure it'd be random match ups to start the fight..

Like someone said, maybe they pulled names out of a hat.

That's the only way to keep it fair..

It's the way the cookie crumbles ;p
[Xperia Z1 General] One Twelve:
Well done Nokia employees, you managed to get a winner here.

HTC one losing to 520 :confused:
[Xperia Z1 General] jimsey:
Ive been testing a lumia 1520 all weekend and have decided not to keep it.

My main reason being the camera, I timed the z1 camera load time against The 1520, and the 1520 was nearly 2 seconds slower to load the camera and take a pic, for a replacement point and shoot this is too slow to warrant me replacing my z1. If the picture quality had been significantly better, it might have swayed me, but manual mode shots were broadly similar.

The screen on the Lumia was also better, but I think I'll Wait and see what the 1020 and z1 successors will bring. :)
[Xperia Z1 General] One Twelve:
Z1 has

better

video in low light.
[Xperia Z1 General] kantk20111:
From my experience a lot of Nokia Lumia users have an inferiority complex against their Android/Apple counterparts. They're the most aggressive at insulting other phones which are not WP8 because they feel 'special' using an OS that is thought of as being inferior to iOS and Android. So when it comes to competitions like this where it's WP8 vs Android or Lumia vs Android the fanboys come out in full force and smother the competition and then post comments on how the other phones are sh*t and how WP8 has the most potential. Just look at the comments in the GSMArena page. The Z1 sadly didn't stand a chance.

I'm not saying that every WP8 user's like this, I'm sure those fanboys are in the minority, but I know a lot of people with the 1520 and 1020 and they always try to put down my Z1 even if I didn't say anything, as if they're justifying why they bought the Lumia over my Z1. That's just been my experience though.
[Xperia Z1 General] BreakShadow:
Z1 got whitewashed by 20000 points. One got beat neck to neck by 520. Damn....
[Xperia Z1 General] ascariss:
These polls are easy to manipulate, it, all it takes is a large forum for windows phone users and the Z1 is losing, simple as that. these polls mean jack, especially after gsm arenas pitiful review of the Z1.
[Xperia Z1 General] Derpinson:
The Z1 is way better than the nokia i think, and i don't realy think it's a fair competition
[Xperia Z1 General] Jambu95:
this competition is bull****, it's totally hilarious and pointless, if anyone would like to seeing people fighting over that "competition", the comments there are the best. they really don't have anything to do.
[Xperia Z1 General] ArashMiniStar:
It is just android or wp crap :|
[Xperia Z1 General] BreakShadow:
Sad thing is most of the people are from my country. People here are extremely biased towards Nokia, Samsung and Micromax. Every other manufacturer to most of the smartphone using population in my country is crap.
[Xperia Z1 General] One Twelve:
In case anyone's still awake. We get this predictable matchup for the final

The much loved Nexus 5 never really stood a chance.
[Xperia Z1 General] raziel123:
it's the only snapdragon 800 Windows mobile phone to date, massive leap for windows users who have had to put up with mi-range phones for a long time.
[Xperia Z1 General] One Twelve:
So here is the predictable result. How convenient for Nokia that the recently launched 1520 gets to win.

By how many votes the 1520 beat the 1020 is yet to be disclosed.
[Xperia Z1 General] Morlock O:
Wonder how much Microsoft paid GSM arena to do this crap... the smell of rig is so powerful
[Xperia Z1 General] raziel123:
Windows phone users finally got a high end phone, sadly the appstore is way to limited.

Great hardware limited software not a good combination

[Xperia Z1 General] One Twelve:
3 android phablets got knocked out in the first round.

Phablets are a niche, that 5 inch & below users are unlikely to to move towards. The note series is the only exception.

WP8 is quite snappy, on existing hardware. What does snapdragon offer here ?

---------- Post added at 06:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:12 AM ----------

Yeah, this is the sad truth. Maybe next year appstore will be more viable.
[Xperia Z1 General] jonmorris:
I only got a 1520 to review just before Christmas. How many people will have bought one (especially as Nokia have sold mostly the low end models that helped gain market share)?

Clearly people are voting for what they think is the best, rather than what they own, and I suppose Nokia has spent a lot of money convincing people that it has the best imaging.

To be fair, the 1020 and 1520 each offer excellent imaging and nobody would be unhappy with either, or even a 925. Heck, even the heavy 920.

But the Z1 is the better all round choice simply because it is Android.
[Xperia Z1 General] One Twelve:
Exactly, i've yet to see the 1520 in shops. They have the 1020, not seen the 1520 yet.

The 920 has the best video stabilisation i've seen in a mobile. This is what one expects with 3-axis OIS, quite apparent in the reviews. maybe the weight had something to do with it because the 925 & 1020 do not match it.

Nokia has got he marketing bit down and created the right amount of buzz..

GSM Arena has still not disclosed the final vote counts for the 1520 vs 1020.

When DxO gets around to testing the 1520, i expect it will be close to Z1 in the stills section but lose in the video.

I was trying to install Beanstalk 4.4.2, and it kept boot looping into recovery(twrp) so I ended up trying to revert back to stock "http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2017525" and I install the hboot first then the radio then the recovery, and after the recovery it just bootloops to a triangle with a red exclamation point in it.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BitCounter:
Hi Folks,

I recently inherited a Samsung Galaxy S II. (The previous owner upgraded to a Note 3 which soon has to be rooted too! :) )

To my knowledge this phone was already rooted to upgrade it to JellyBeans before this was officially available from Samsung.

To get to a clean start I went through the recovery mode (VolUp+Home+Power) and initiated a factory reset.

Thereafter I installed Titanium.apk from the SD-card, which tells me now that it can't gain access to the su command. Does this mean I 'unrooted' this phone wit the factory reset and I have to undergo the rooting procedure again?

BTW: After reading through the forum for a couple of days and following link after link, I still have the feeling I went in circles without really finding the basics to build my knowledge upon. Could someone please point me to some information on how to decode or interpret the 'cryptic' Product-, PDA-, Phone-, Modem-Codes (like XXLS7, XWLSD, DBTLS7, etc.)?

Cheers
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vivek_Neel:
Su binary missing in system/xbin

Install super user from play store and update su binary.

Select normal method..not recovery
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BitCounter:
OK

super user is installed.

How do I update the su binary and where do I have to choose the normal method?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BitCounter:
super user just tells me that the su binary can't be found.

I now also installed SuperSU.

This app also provides the information about the missing su binary but additionally tells me that SuperSu can't install them and that this is a problem. :(

Any more ideas?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
You could have fixed this 4 hrs ago if you'd flashed a custom kernel.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vivek_Neel:
Uninstall superuser app

Flash philz kernel. (If you are using stock rom)

It will install su binary as well as super user app.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BitCounter:
Yes, this did the trick. :)

Thanks a lot.

Great Job Big, installation without a glitch, very smooth and no issues with my restoring of apps via Tibu, btw just apps no data w/apps.

Just so others can read, :rolleyes: this is how I installed without an issue.

First I was on CM 10 ROM. ;) AT&T LG-D800 <<--- still att D800 lol.

1) Download the AeonFlex greatness via PC....then copied over to device.

2) Already had TWRP v2.6.3.3, booted into TWRP.

3) Went into Wipe Section, then into

advance wipe

, then I put "X's" in the boxes. Never pick Internal Storage.

a) Dalvick Cache.

b) System.

c) Data.

d) Cache.

* Swipe'd the bar to wipe.

* Then backed out to main Wipe and did a

Factory wipe

. Why because I like to cover all bases :cool:

4) Went into Install and tapp'd it to like the prom queen on homecoming night.....give a moment as she finishes.

Success! Reboot for Aeon Flex! The entire time listening to Ac/Dc "Thuderstruck" :laugh:

Hi all, been missing the fun we used to have back here. I've been very busy with college and work lately so I haven't had much time to share around the threads. I ran into a problem and could use any help from you guys.

I made a backup today using the TWRP cuz it's been a long time since a made one (like two months ago) and I like to have a recent one just in case. The thing is that after I made the backup and rebooted the phone it now reboots randomly like after a minute after booting. I got no idea of what's causing this since I've made a lot of backups before without any issue and I didn't flashed anything new either; just made the backup using TWRP 2.3.6.4.

I'm still on AEON FLEX 3.0.2 with furnace kernel 1.7.1. Been using this combination for over two months without any issue and I've actually made backups on it before so IDK what happened :confused:

The only things I've tried to fix this where reflashing furnace, wiping cache and dalvik and restoring the backup I had made but didn't had any luck.

BTW glad to know from you big and see you in a happier mood. Can't wait to see what you bring with KitKat :)
