My new FAV for 8 days, now not so much

I fell in LUST with the looks of the Sharp Aquos Crystal and decided to order one from Boost Mobile on October 14 so I could compare it to my existing T-Mobile Galaxy Note 3.

Upon side-by-side comparisons to Galaxy Note 3, I quickly discovered the following:

I could be happy with the 5" screen.

Despite lower screen resolution specs, I found everything on the Sharp to be razor sharp (pun intended).

Screen color saturation is as vivid as my Note 3. Watched some live TV using Dish Anywhere and found the overall picture on Sharp to be BETTER than Note 3.

Biggest surprise (so far) is that despite running latest Effortless F9 debloated custom ROM on my Note 3, the Sharp seems every bit as fast & responsive with the supposedly slower processor and less RAM.

Sharp Aquos Crystal includes LESS bloatware than I've found of most prior smartphones. Thanks Sharp!

No problems running any of my favorite apps: Dish Anywhere, Jump Desktop, MX Player, ShopSavvy Barcode Scanner,Out of Milk,CheapOAir,Waze,FlightStats, PolarisOffice5, Nova launcher Prime 3.1,One More Clock,Mr. Number, Astro File Manager,Icon Changer, WinZip, iHeartRadio,TripAdvisor

CONS discovered over the past 8 days of use:

Had to switch the USB cable from a 3.0 to 2.0 port before I could transfer data to/from my micro SD card in the Sharp.

With only 1GB of RAM, I've had apps freeze or act strangely which has forced me to reboot the phone once or twice a day to recover.

Screen Cast. Unlike my prior Note 3, EZcast not working with my HDTV because of lower resolution of the sharp phone.

Camera. Unable to save pics to external SD card. Have to use ES File Explorer to copy or move. I believe this bug is related to Android 4.4.2 (a bug that can be fixed if/when this phone gets rooted). I will also admit to be a bit spoiled by the better 16 megapixel on my former Note 3 vs. only 8 megapixel on the 306SH.

Tethering. Until this phone gets rooted with some custom ROMs, we won't have ANY free Wi-Fi hotspot tethering (basic $35/month Boost plan does not include ANY free tethering).

$5 gets you one day of hotspot service.

For all these reasons, I am now considering the return of this phone (per Boost Mobile's trial period moneyback guarantee). On 10/26/2014 I will be looking at the LG G3, Note 4 and Nexus 6 as possible alternatives to suit my needs. for the coming year.

The phone sucks on the Aquos Crystal? I don't think so.

CORRECTION: Title: should read, "camera sucks? I don't think so."

I don't know what other users are comparing to but for $150 I couldn't be more pleased with the Sharp Aquos Crystal that I ordered online from Boost Mobile with next day delivery for just a bit over $160 with tax and delivery. I've had it for close to a week. Prior to this phone I had the HTC SV One, also a Boost phone. The Aquos is extremely smart looking. The camera exceeds my expectations. If I compared it to a $600 phone I might find a reason to wish for more but this phone cost a hundred bucks less than the HTC, has an extra half gig of ram and it's not reeking with bloat. For anyone else living in the real world who likes paying $40 a month for service that's "good enough," and would like a phone for about $150 that "exceeds expectations," good luck finding something better. Grab the Aquos, you won't regret it.

Can't find anything on it yet for rooting, but the available ram will allow plenty of time to wait until a kit becomes available.
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] RealiZms:
You obviously don't know what a decent cell phone camera is. It's pretty horrible. Go ahead, "wow" us with some samples. Really, don't embarrass yourself.
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] ezagent:
No need to wow anyone.

Feel free to be as insulting as you wish. My opinion is that the phone is perfectly adequate. I can snap a picture, post it to facebook, ebay or craigslist with sufficient quality, good enough. I have auto settings enabled. There are a number of settings available. For a hundred fifty dollar phone, I couldn't be more pleased.

Have a nice day.
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] daboyal006:
Honestly the reason why I said it was horrible is because its very pixelated, I have plenty cell phones like the 6plus,nexus5,m8,iphone5s. So I would understand sub par performance from a camera. Ive had the motog also which is around the same price point . I did some video tests on YouTube, the video quality is fair. But I can honestly say if you take photos even in the right lighting, Its okay but if you zoom in just a little bit its starts to look distorted. Maybe horrible would be the wrong word if it was the quality of a old flip phone picture but its below average in my personal opinion.
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] ezagent:
Nothing to brag about.

I'll agree that the camera is probably not the best feature on the phone but for $150, and given my picture taking needs, I can live with it. The only reason I'm sticking up for the camera is because I think that anyone considering a Boost android phone, mine costs $40 a month with "good enough" service, is likely to find that this phone exceeds expectations given the price.
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] daboyal006:
I agree, the overall phone itself is worth the $160 bucks. The best looking low budget phone I've ever seen ..ever
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] RealiZms:
Not insulting you. Just stating the obvious. Glad you like the new phone. Now get the sand out of your vagina and have a great day!
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] (x_x)Zombie:
its a good phone with a better price.

I've had my sharp since mid November, coming from a HTC one sv who's micro USB port went out that I was in love with I'm going to say after the first 5 minutes I was saying HTC what?? The only things that comes software wise is clip now which is very nice but I quickly disabled it (pwr+ vlme down works fine for me) and my personal favorite when you click on the screen it sends a colored line around the borders, after finding a green themed one I quickly switched to it and looks cool everytime I turn it on. Other than that pretty basic andriod which is all good by me, don't need a bunch of software and features I don't use. Also it came relatively light on the bloat ware from boost compared to past phones I've owned, and majority of which didnt need root to get rid of (hope a root gets found soon) and the rest I could disable to prevent updates taken space for unneeded bloatware. The cameras nothing to write home about but it takes decent enough pics for me and has led flash ( a feature a lot of entry level phones don't have ). The mobile data speeds are great on 4 g and 3 g seems to be better than my old HTC. Sharp might have saved a little coin by putting a lower res. screen in the 306sh than other flagship phones, but this isn't a flagship phone, the aquos crystal X is their flagship. So comparing this $150 phone to $300+ phones is only going to show just how good sharp is at making a premium feel for a dam good price. My only complaint is the beezless design will sometimes mistake my hand touching the side of the screen while I hold it as a click, but a case fixed the problem. I'd say a case is mandatory for this phone like 90% of this phone is all screen your not gonna want to drop this phone without a case, I'd also advise getting a tempered glass screen protector, I got my bat case and screen protector which ran me 12 bucks on amazon.
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] whynot4444:
try camera FV5, i think it will help camera sharp better than stock camera
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] UltimaXtreme:
The camera complaints are so stupid. You want a camera, you buy a camera. And it's not pixelation, it's called noise. To be pixelated means that the image is smaller than the screen, allowing you to see the individual pixels. These images are 8MP, far larger than the phone's 720p display, and even 4K.

For $150, what do you expect? You bought a phone. I didn't buy this phone expecting an incredible camera with high ISO. I bought this phone for an incredible phone experience, and I am getting it. This seriously surpasses ones like the Samsung Galaxy S3 I had last year, which is still $200 by comparison (though the S3 has plenty of established roots, ROMs and kernels available, so there's that).

I heartily suggest this phone for anyone looking for a good phone at a good price. If you don't mind the missing tweaks at the moment, it's not half-bad.

Just don't base your purchase on the camera [emoji13]
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] (x_x)Zombie:
I agree, the camera is more than adiquit for the price. Be glad sharp didnt charge more for this phone. 160$ out if pockets a great deal, the $55 I paid with online deal and promo code was a steal (that's not including the account credit for $50 with the new number). Sadly the deal (both code and discount) have been discontinued.

---------- Post added at 11:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:23 AM ----------

OK, so your comparing this $150 midspec phone to $300 and up phones flagship phones. Your opinion is based off of solely only expensive phones. Yes this camera is nothing to wow over, but neither is an insanely expensive smart phone that breaks the bank, which you seem to have in aboundance. Try comparing it to phones that are actually in its price range. How much monthly were you paying for that M8? Or 6plus? Or 5S? Really sure what ever figure your about to throw out their doesn't justify that wow effect the camera had. Being a senior member I'd figure you'd bring more to the table than just a bunch of negative comments on the camera. And the person here who should be emberrased BTW is you for comming across as a straight ass, like really who buys these phones for you?
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] daboyal006:
Haha, I like your honesty. But if you did read carefully, I said I also have a Moto G which is about 100$.The moto g camera is better then the sharp aquos crystal. I gave a huge amount of credit towards the phone originality except for the camera which is a honest opinion. Even if I didn't mention any of the other phones, I still would've said the camera isn't good at all. I believe if Sharp produces a second version to this phone. The camera will be better. This is my opinion post and it is subject to criticism, which I expect but this is a topic about your "initial thoughts".

[Sharp Aquos Crystal] (x_x)Zombie:
First I'd like to apologize, still new to posting on forums and I though that both quotes were from you, now realizing that the one that hit my button was not from you (the quote saying amaze us ect.) So again sorry for that. Definetly came across like an idiot there. I'd also like to say that the moto g is also a great phone, but it not supporting an extenal SD card and no miracast support on stock unrooted device is a big buzz kill on that phone, so it has its con's (I'm referring to first gen g, have yet to play with second gen). So I'd say for an average everyday andriod user the moto g might be a better fit, due to said better camera for social networking ect. And it being half the cost of the sharp ($80 new I believe). But we can most certainly agree, the cameras definitly the biggest con besides no root being avalible as of yet. Who knows, if we get root their might be a possibility to improve the camera through rewritten software on a custom ROM. It is hard to see why a 8mp camera has sub par quality to this extent. I believe its due to a slapped together software that was never fully optimized to use the 8mp camera. So here's to wishful thinking and unicorns for root.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] D33PTHAWTE:
Now that we have root, any of you guys or gals think there is a way to modify the clock that's shown through the flip case screen? A digital one, or even just the panel you can swipe to being the first one instead would increase its usefulness exponentially.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] genpix:
Does it mean that you want to leave the screen on and drain the batteries?

Displaying the photo of the person with incoming call (or the message which just came through) is much more practical, imho.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] D33PTHAWTE:
No, rather I would just want to modify what is shown. For instance, rather than the analog clock display that slides to notifications, just a single pane with digital time and date + notifications and maybe battery percentage.

It seems like there must be a system app that is triggered when the flip case blocks the ambient light sensor. Hopefully that app has modifiable resources.

Ah, excellent. Such a promising and interesting CM this is. It'll be interesting to see how 2.0 goes. Please do keep the option of the bright/light theme. :) Almost every single other CM rom is black and colorless (fact: most developers are colorblind) and it's just not right. Though it would be cool to nix that generic animated wallpaper--the same one all other CM roms use--and replace with something that isn't so bland. It clashes with your systemui theme, definitely.

Thanks for the response. The Voice quality is really good. The HD calling icon doesn't show though and I'm in Korea on KT network. So it would be interesting to know the technical details about that.

I'm having two weird issues with my contacts.

First the pictures for my contacts sometimes disappear and reappear when I open my SMS

Second issue is when I open a new SMS and I type the persons name and the numbers for that person show up , I have the number in my contacts coming up for that person but I'm also getting old numbers that are out of service for that person. I tried deleting all contacts and re-importing them and still the same issue

I'm using Wondershare MobileGo to sync my Outlook 2010 with my phone. When I go into outlook there is only 1 number for a lot of my contacts and when I pull them up on the phone through the contacts only 1 number shows up, but again when I open a new SMS I get several numbers coming up for a person that I only saved 1 number for.

Where are the numbers coming from ? I did not set up the AT&T phonebook. and I have everything in my contacts unckecked ( ex: facebook, gmail, tango )

Any info would be greatly appreciated
