[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pepoluan:
XSP is heads and shoulders better than XM or S3. And since S3 Mini is a cut-down version of S3, both in size *and* specs, IMHO there is no reason to prefer the alternatives.

You do have to remember that moving to Android means leaving the Apple ecosystem behind. You'll have to repurchase apps, and there might be some games that are not available on Android.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david19au:
I know but I mean the key features like multitasking, camera, headphone that comes with the phone and so on. I know that some games on iOS aren't on Android (like Infinity Blade 2) but that doesn't matter me much, the only game I play on the phone is Clash of Clans and sometime (rlly rarely) I play Asphalt 8 (which I have purchsed for both Android and iOS, no worry for piracy) so.. I just care for the key features like the rear and the front camera. Both of the phones have 8MP camera rear camera but the exposure is different, is that a big difference between the quality? And like the screen, as I know the iPhone 5 comes with an Retina HD display and XSP with TFT HD display but with BE2/X-Reality so I don't which is better
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wiidbzxt:
Pretty much everything is better on the iPhone 5. It has better multitask, camera, comes with better headphones, has better hardware performances. As an XSP user, I can't think of a feature were the XSP is better than the iPhone 5, there might be some, but the iPhone is mostly better.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david19au:
But as I know, Android was made for multitaking and for hardware, the XSP haves better processor and the camera is same or am I wrong?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oblox:
If you want something that just works then the iPhone 5 is better.

If you want something you can play around with ROMs and have more control over the phone then the Xperia SP is better.

My preference is Xperia SP, I dont mind the iPhone as a device but its restrictions annoy me.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wiidbzxt:
Android is made for multitasking, however, due to how newer apps are build, devices require more than 1GB to run smoothly. Sadly, the SP just has 1GB of RAM, which makes it slow at times. The processor is good, but the one on the iPhone 5 is the same, if not better. And no, the camera, while 8mpx, works better on the iPhone.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxStatiX:
The iPhone Camera is WAY better man.

The SP is awesome but as someone above stated,if you want something that works,the iPhone is better!

Good luck!
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david19au:
Ok but the iPhone still have only 1Gig RAM... Even some newer devices, even iPhone 5s didn't came with 2Gig RAM and for the headphones, both phone and headphone are using 3,5mm jack so... I can only think of the S5 and Z2(...?) to have 2Gig RAM so...
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david19au:
Can You post me some comparison pictures taken w/ the iPhone and the XSP? It would be really helpful.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david19au:
Ok guys, looks like I'm more undecided now, can some1 do a +/- features for both phones (like comparing them). It would be great! Thanks! :highfive:

Edit1 : It would be even better, if any1 could suggest me a phone which I can play with the /system and do a normal work/sometime playing Clash Of Clans and Asphalt 8 and for music listening at the same time. I thought that the XSP can do it but it looks like it can't :(
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wiidbzxt:
Xperia SP:

+Design

+Loud speaker

+Bigger Screen

+Unique ilumination bar

+Runs a more "open" OS, Android (and outdated one)

-Camera

-Low RAM

-Materials used feels cheap at times

-Bad screen quality

Iphone 5:

+Design

+More apps

+More updates in the future (it will at least get two more mayor iOS updates)

+Premium build quality

+Better cameraS with slow-mo video (I'm not sure if it's the 5 and 5s or just the 5s)

+Better screen quality

+Better multitasking (iOS is more optimized for multitasking nowadays in my opinion, as iPhone 5 almost never lags).

-No unique feautres

-Speaker quality is okay.

+/- iOS is not as open as Android, but it's a beatiful design nevertheless.

This is what I can think of.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxStatiX:
I can't post comparison pictures right now but there have been a lot of complaints about the XSP camera.

Some users are also experiencing some issues like blurring and extremely poor low light pictures.

If you need a good camera,dont get the XSP.

I don't think these issues are only with my device.

The phone is amazing in other aspects like hardware but if the camera is important,take a comparison from someone else has both the phones!

I'm sorry I can't put up pictures because I'm waiting at the airport :p

Good luck!
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wiidbzxt:
The camera on the SP is REALLY bad, the lenses even get scratched super easily, that's why people get blurry/overexposed pictures. If it's your priority, the more reasons to go for iPhone.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxStatiX:
I think you meant "Go for iPhone"! :p
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wiidbzxt:
Completely, thanks.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noahvt:
This phone can perfectly do that! Asphalt 8 runs fine with 0 lag on ultra settings and you should be able to play music when playing either of these games
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noahvt:
And I know one thing about the i5: the WiFi sucks! My dad is always complaining about how he doesn't find any networks while I can find like 10 with my sp or that he can't connect to certain wireless network while I can
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxStatiX:
The SP had some WiFi reception problems (range) but the latest update has fixed it.

WiFi reception is perfect now!

[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4Freedom:
You can overclock your phone, flashing an overclocked kernel:p

Your phone is smoother when it has less processes active in background and when you have more free ram.

If you have root you can use greenify and hibernate easily a lot of apps:good:

I just finish to download the new radio version for our devices. I can not tell you my impressions about the new radio version, but you can download in Wiki, placed on a folder.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] pvenkat:
couple of questions on the Radio ROM

1. It looks like it is a G4 Radio ROM. Will it work on the G3 version? If not, where can I find the latest Radio ROM for the G3 version?

2. Does it enable Blackberry Connect support on the Prophet by any chance?

Thanks.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] mccune:
Isn't this the Radio ROM from the Wizard? There is a topic in the Prophet part of the forum that discusses this..

I thought the latest original Radio version for the Prophet was 2.30.21.

I also tried the 2.47.11 on my Prophet. Reception was better, but battery life was drammatic :(
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] SecureGSM:
Wizard, Tornado, Prophet, Oxygen, Artemis, Excalibur:

all these models are based on pretty much same platform.

Latest Radio ( GSM firmaware) for these devices that I am aware of is:

GSM 2.67.90

Just thought that I will let you this know.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] cidriver:
Yes I noticed that the reception is much better but at cost of the battery duration. Let me still making more tests about these new Radio.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] purp:
my radio rom is 2.19.21 how and and how I would get the newst stable?q
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] cidriver:
The cost is very expensive, at least for me. Just one night, without calls, or touch the Prophet full charge and in the morning the batery meter is almost 26 % less !!!!!!!! Guauuuuu! is to much, you don't think so?

Let me still testing.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] onesolo:
Yeah, I already tried this radio rom on my S200 and it drains a lot of batt. I don't recommend it to anyone...

I revert to the other radio rom that is floating around here, but I think that also drains a little more that the official ones....
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] purp:
so which radio rom version we/I should use? And where can I download?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] cidriver:
I foud something is not right. When I like to turn the device on, (right button) to make a call phone or make a consult or whatever, the device is dead, so I have to make a soft reset. That's pass me very often, so I decide to revert to other radio version, I mean, to 02.30.21.

My impression about this Radio Version:

Pros: Better signal in all aspect.

Contra: Battery duration, inestable.

So, end of my private testing.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] SecureGSM:
ok. this is something that I would like to check:

The standby mode power consumption is 21mA which it doesn't meet the spec.(but if pressing the key lock into

standby mode, the power consumption is 2.1mA.)

please keep your keypad locked at all the time and see if that will improve battery life.

I wish that I could explain better ;)

this should be valid for all devices with this radio. not only for wizard.

Thanks.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] andrew_sh:
Hello,

I use a prophet whith an older radio 02.30.11.

Do you mean that when you lock the keyboard from the today plugin, the consumption is less?

I tried it today for the whole day and now I have 80% from 100% this morning which is very good! Is it because of the locking?

edit: BTW, how did you measure your consumption?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] coolfire74:
I tested this radio ROM long time ago when it was first posted here. But I changed back to 02.30.21 after one day.

It was a terrible experience, the device automatically reset during conversations very often. One day, I had to reset the prophet for more than 10 times!!!!!

So, I went back to 02.30.21 right away. And I also warned others not to install this radio ROM in this forum, too. I can not believe you guys are still so brave to take the risk.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] SecureGSM:
@andrew_sh

Do you mean that when you lock the keyboard from the today plugin, the consumption is less?

Yes, that is correct. this bug present in 02.47.xx radio and is fixed in later radios.

I tried it today for the whole day and now I have 80% from 100% this morning which is very good! Is it because of the locking?

Good! I have same result on all my test devices.

edit: BTW, how did you measure your consumption?

I have not meassured it myself. Information in bold is per ... technical documentation ;)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] andrew_sh:
What about the 2.67.90 rom?

Has anyone installed it on a prophet?

Any results?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] SecureGSM:
@andere_sh

2.67.90 is fine on Excalibur, Oxygen and Artemis..Really. much better than 2.47.xx

Dicking around my phone, i believe that we have the ability to use kernel modules on our phone, though I am using xXminiWHOOPERxX's kernel, I have downloaded the source from HTC and it seems that CONFIG_MODULES, CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD, and CONFIG_MODULE_FORCE_UNLOAD are set to "y". Looking around the net, I found a few places that shows how to compile kernel modules along with pulling the list of kernel functions.

Here's what I found:

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] dodo99x:
I didn't stay on it for very long. I restored to my backup a few minutes after confirming it was still 4.4.2. I would have had to do a full factory reset to really see if there were significant changes, as Odin kept my /data untouched. I might play around with it some more when I have more time.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] muzzy996:
I'm curious too but doubtful that there'd be anything significant. From 4.4.2 to 4.4.3 and then to 4.4.4 there weren't any notable cosmetic changes on stock android to begin with other than tweaks to dialer and contacts (which don't matter on thsi tablet). Most of the change comes in the form of bug fixes and security patches I would think.

I suppose its possible samsung did their own touchwiz tweaks at the same time but my experience has been that they enjoy letting current owners envy those lucky enough to purchase newer devices. A classic example is how Note 10.1 2014 edition owners had to wait until well after the Note Pro release before they could get their Kitkat update. A manufacturer never wants a software update for an existing device to steal the thunder from a newly released piece of hardware.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] dodo99x:
We'll see if other regions get this update. If all regions get ANG2, then I might reset my tablet and start from scratch with that firmware version. I should have checked to see if it had fixed that nasty Chromecast systemUI crash.
