Ray or Neo? - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm getting a replacement arc as mine is faulty but they're out of stock so I've been offered a ray or neo instead, which one should I go for? I know specs are pretty much identical but just looking for some opinions from you guys
And I already have a spare arc anyway as my girlfriend didn't like hers

I'd take the Neo because it has a bigger screen as far as I know.

yeah am thinking about the neo too but cant make up my mind, i also have the choice of some HTC models of similar value, not that i'll really use it because i have an arc anyway but its a free replacement so be aswell go for something different
also thinking about the play too as i do like my gaming

Getting the neo just to see what its like, may just sell it though

If you like gaming get a play! I sold my Desire HD to get a play and never looked back. PSX emulation works sweet with our dual channel DDR2 ram

You can get a much, much better phone for a bit more money.
Not really looking to spend much more though, as its likely to get knocked around at work lol

Welcome to the club then
Its better if you buy another phone with a integrated graphic unit, the wildfire hasn't go it so games like doodle jump are very laggy. you can buy a cheap samsung (like the galaxy ace/y) phones or if it has to be a htc then i would recommend the wildfire s or wait for the desire c

Desire upgrade

I have a CDMA HTC desire. It is fast and running ics, but it starts lagging until reboot. Reboot takes forever. The phone is very old and i want to get something new.
It has to be:
4.3-4.7in screen
Dualcore/quadcore (prefer s4)
At least 1gb ram
2gb+ internal storage
800x480+ resolution
Under $400, prefer around $200
Looking into mi-two and "galaxy nexus 2"
Can someone help me?
Sent from my brother's MB870 using xda app-developers app, as my desire sits on the table rebooting.
If you can buy Mi-Two. Mi-Two is better choose.

MI2
I have seen it in android-sale.com, but it is out of stock now.
There's also the M1S, which got good reviews..
I did know this phone however until now.
Here's the review:

If you do get it, let us know how it works 4 u.
My concern is the support you get with Chinese phones

If I bought a new phone now, it would most probably be the htc one s.
Yeah, I'm thinking about replacing my Desire too. I thought about SGS3 or some windows phone (like lumia). Of course I like Samsung more but it's expensive. Plus I've heard some good stuff about lumia and it's good looking and cheaper. Help me guys

New phones
I'm trying to hold on a while longer to my Desire, though JB roms keep stressing internal storage more and more...
If I would buy a new phone nowadays, my choice would be between a Samsung Galaxy Nexus and a Galaxy Note (yep, both older models, but I'm a cheapskate anyway
I guess Ill just get a nexus s. I was going for a captivate, but the nexus s is a nexus and it is on ebay for around $60-80 Got my desire off ebay for $40.
Sent from my HTC Desire CDMA using xda app-developers app
Vote for One S
Now it is just a matter of selling it. Some fraud buyers ruined my ebay selling account and I can't list anything anymore

Traded Note 2 for Sprint LGOG

All I can say is wow. The display is beautiful just amazingly clear and sharp. The S4 Pro Krait is just a work horse. In the last month I did a few trades. S3, Evo lte, iphone 5 and lastly the Note 2. I found a winner and the phone feels great in the hands. Build quality is top notch. Looking forward to jellybean.

i traded in my photon for the G. absolutely loving this thing so far!
Omg note 2 is worth so much more than lgog I hope you got money on top of that trade.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
Ya at first I thought amoled screens were the be all, end all. As soon as I saw LGOG I was like wow. Everything is so crisp and colors were natural. Did a lil research on the screen and it turns out that it's 100% RGB accurate. My laptop has IPS and its only 60%ish.

I love this phone. Even bone stock it kicks other phones in the nuts! Rooted or not. Hands down best Android I've owned so far.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
As much as I love my LGOG I still think my Note 2 is a far superior phone no matter which way you slice it.
Not to mention the LGOG is very unpopular and people are pretty much giving them away on eBay for under 300 bucks so like someone already mentioned, I hope you got some cash in return for your Note.

Not really sure about that. It's running an outdated chipset, but the only thing going for it is that massive battery.

Outdated? I still get quantum scores equal and sometimes better then the OG. I agree the Qualcomm processor is better then the Tegra 3 but a phone is more than just its chip.
My LG suffers from weak 4g signal. Wifi connection doesn't seem as smooth as with my Note 2. An example is web pages don't load as fast as my Note 2. Lets not even discuss the camera and video playback.
You want to talk about software features? I think not. S-pen? Let me stop there.
LG, nice screen nice chipset. I give it that.

Ok so LG got a nice screen, chipset, but it ain't made of cheap piece of plastic. Doesn't feel premium to me and forget about one handed txting!

What ever chip it has weather its old or new, the thing performs great. I could show you some quantum scores if you want.
Like I said the lg optimus G has a great chip I won't argue that. But unfortunately a great chip doesn't help with a lot of the other Corky stuff my LG does.
They will get it right with the LG Optimus G pro

The note 2 is cool and all and popular but I didn't want a phablet anymore. It was huge and just wanted to get rid of it ASAP even swap I didn't care. Hardware wise the lgog is king of android IMO. Just think of the performance with JB. LG did great with this phone and I'm very pleased I just love the fit in the hands. I'm sure we will see some bug fixes the phone has only been out a minute. BTW the s3 feels fragile in the hand maybe because of the plastics.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
I look at it the opposite as you. I feel like Samsung will get it right with the Note 3. The screen is blurry and blue, its made of crap materials, it has an obsolete processor, hugh bezel and a stupid hardware button.

You know that dang button gets on my last nerve lol. Their obsessed with it.

That's all you could really say. I don't think anyone hear, said anything bad about the phones chip.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using XDA Premium HD app
Not sure why you are even comparing the G to the Note 2. The Note 2 is in the Phaglet category and the G is in the Phone category. But, if you do want to compare... the G has better build quality, premium materials, better screen(true rgb and higher pixel count), better processors, better(not bigger or removable) battery and better one handed use. That's a lot of "betters".

I believe you meant" here". And the screenie was an indirect way to say "I'm satisfied with my LGOG, no complaints here." I have nothing negative to say as they're both fine devices in their respective classes.

Hi,
Imho, Sony devices o Nexus family are the best choices in the Android scene.

yes sony and nexus are easiest to unbrick too
I'm quite sure its literaly impossible to brick a xperia s unless its hardware related
not samsung fan, they are too complicated to even bootloader unlock and not to mention knox Samsung security

@RISHI RAJ Instead of going for S4, go for HTC One, Nexus 5, Moto X or Xperia Z1.. And if u r a sammy fan, go for Note3 atleast.. Its worth it.. S4 aint that good as i saw..
Or you can upgrade to g2 too
