What's so special about an AT&T Ion - Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion

I have an Ion but am based in HK. So what is so special about AT&T that gives it forum naming rights? Is it cos the phone is only available in the us on at&t? Is the phone itself different'?
Sent from my LT28i using XDA

I just think it's anticipated that many future users of the handset will be from the states and, by default, on the at&t version. I'm not sure if there is a discernable difference (the radio bands, maybe?).
Sent from my LT28at using xda premium

I'm assuming if the other versions prove popular they will rename it.
I remember with the X10 they had so many different versions of the phone

Also the US version is 4G capable.

at&t logo ruined the phone......

I do hate this logo lol

Can't you just scratch off the AT&T logo?

AT&T ruins xperia ion's original user experience.
att xperia ion doesn't have the cosmic flow live wallpapers, no timescape feed widget, no music & video app/widget, no recommender app/widget, no setup guide app. Also, the contacts app is like the old 2011 line phones which don't have contact suggestions while you input the numbers. The timescape widgets only have timescape frineds, timescape share, and wtf the 2011 timescape widget but not the timescape feeds which looks like the one on xperia s.
oh btw, there is a **** load of att's ****ty apps pre-installed so definitely have fun with those

Difference from Xperia S

It's amazing how this phone has the same specs hardware wise (CPU, GPU, ram) as the Xperia S but to me the experience is sooo much better on the ion. The screen is loads better on the ion. Blacks are deeper and colors are more vibrant. The speed and smoothness of the phone is also better on the ion.
Even the camera, which from I have seen specs wise should be the same, is by far and away much better than my Xperia S. Focuses a lot quicker just feels like it responds better.
Anyone else had experience with both these phones and notice the same? Not sure if they polished the android 2.3.7 more on the ion or what but it definitely feels smoother.

what about HDMI output in the Ion ? I saw some reports of lag video and lower performance on the S when using HDMI output.
what about HDMI output and Ion performance ? any change? is that smooth?
I was about to buy the S early this month and decided to hold a while to look for the ion. still not sure, but seems the ion should be better somehow...
just wondering now if should go with the international version or get an AT&T and unlock it...

Been using an unlocked Xperia S for a while and other androids (Dell Streak Motorola Atrix, Xperia Play 4G) before that and tethered them. You need to use the right apns and have a non AT&T rom. Never gotten the message from them and I still have my unlimited plan.

Best way would be to go through your carrier. Tell them that you are going on a trip overseas and you need it unlocked. If that does not work you could try the many websites on line. I have used them in the past and have had no issues however; it will cost you around 25$ or more.

even if you did, most of the pre-installed widgets will not work with Nova properly since they are made for TouchWiz. You can get deformity, crashing, not working on landscape, not working on portrait etc. it's best you don't use most of the none (?)x1 widget on Nova or any other theme apps

as dim as before, and the battery saver widget doesn't work correctly.
however, i recommend updating to ATT ICS rom simply because under call settings, there is a hearing aids option which hugely buffs the call volume. well we don't have hearing problem but maybe japanese ears are just too darn good

Which to get? Xperia TX LT29i (Bond phone) or Ion LT28h?

Both phones have great specs and are within $100 of each other. Found some on Ebay and other online retailers for decent orices new. What would you current owners of either handset recommend? When I get one of these the first thing I'm going to do is root and probably just enjoy the phone as is (let's see how long that lasts). I really want the new Z in white but can't wait around and need a phone by next week.
From what I could gather
LT29i

Comes in white, black and another color
Removable battery
Better battery
Better processor
Screen seems shorter from all the review videos I've seen online.
No capacitive buttons and uses the on screen ones which take up screen space
LT28h
Only comes in black and red (shame no white)
Taller viewing screen
Capacitive buttons (I like this)
Very similar to the LT29i performance
I'm probably missing something but that's why I'm asking real world users for their opinions. Thanks!!
Obviously Xperia TX because it's a newer device and will be supported by Sony further and ion's support will end soon.

You should wait for the xperia z is my opinion, but choosing ion is more budgetfriendly, almost same performance but a matter of design would make me choose ion anyway since that is a top priority for me, but the capacitive buttons isn't the best on either ion or s

You definitely made the right choice IMO. The S4 devices that I have used (One X, 8x and Atrix HD) have run rings around the Ion that I'm currently using as far as responsiveness goes. UI lag should be minimal. I actually prefer Sony's Android interface to HTC's or Motorola's, that I have used. The Bond phone should serve you well.

Yeah I was truly on the fence. Honestly I hated mostly the fact it only came in black. I told myself the next phone I got no matter which one, it would have to be in white. That and the LT29i was about $100+ but I'm going off contract once my T-Mobile is done in June. Probably with AT&T's Straight Talk as they have the best coverage where I now located.

[MOD][JB][ICS,GB =?] Original "fast" Xperia Cosmicflow livewall like in the comercial
When i first saw the ads for the Sony Xperia S i loved the way that cosmic flow live wallpaper looked like, totaly different than the one in the retail Gingerbread version, ICS had the same app and apperantly JB also has the same slugish Cosmic flow live wallpaper. Olso the other models had the same livewallpapare. So as usual i searched for something better but other than finding the same cosmic flow live wallpaper but with multiple colours and a white version witch i'll share to you later i didnt find anything good. The only thing i found was a Gingerbread specific version witch i moddified to make it work on JB. Hope you like it. Its a lot faster, and a lot wider than the original apk. More anymated and more fluid and FAAAAAST. From what i tested it, i didnt notice any bad battery drains done by it.
Dont remember the user who shared the original apk. If you know who he is let me know so i can credit him.
DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK
Requrements:
Stock Sony Jelly Bean ROM (maybee custom rom olso, need testers, maybe Stock ICS and Stock GB olso need testers)
Instructions:
Install as normal apk over the existing cosmic flow
Notice* : 1.if you whant to revert to your original cosmic flow just uninstall it normaly
2. It might cause one or two FC's but eventualy works flawlessly
PLEASE IF YOU TEST IT TELL ME HOW WELL IT WORKS

Works on my Acro S stock ICS firmware .55.
BUT... Sometimes it force closes, sometimes it's stable. Weird but it runs smoother than the old Cosmic Flow.

I wold much apreciate that , but may i remind you there is a modded version of the original slow one, 2 viariants, white background and black background with a lot of colours, even if you make multiple colour variatios of this one it wold be awsom.

Uninstall the previous one, either by Root uninstaller/titanium or simply delete CosmicFlow.apk from system/app
Posted by Sony Xperia™ Ion via xda-premium
Like what ARNOB said, delete old apk (CosmicFlow.apk) from /system/app, paste the new one and set permissions to r-w-r--r--
After that, reboot to recovery Wipe Cache, Wipd Dalvik Cache, and Fix Permissions (you may not do this but just to be sure...)
