Hello everyone,
few days ago I broke glass onmy s4 mini... Now the phone work, but I hate glass broken!
A friend of mine purpose an exchange of my broken phone with his xperia s perfectly working with valid warranty. It is a good deal?
Witch one are the biggest problem with the phone?
I heard about a problem with luminosity sensor, did u noticed?
Any other info will be appreciated guys thx u al!
Do you consider replacing the glass/screen?i think its rather a personal decision, and depends on what do you want...our xperia s is kinda old and dont expect big performance. Also, forget official software updates...are you willing to use roms?
I didnt notice any big luminosity sensor problems, maybe its a bit laggy, but it works perfectly. I would worry more about battery life.
Maybe ask your friend to test the device?

EDIT: btw, the sxs camera is awesome!
thx mrmigg,
i thougth about glass reparation but it will cost a lot ( i have no skill for self change)
my friend is a classmate, tomorrow i'll keep the device all the day long with me, so i could do a lot of test
i'm a bit worried about battery life, i love s4mini battery
thx for help...i'll tell u what i will decide
Yeah, i think the biggest problem is the battery life and maybe the performance,compaired to the s4mini. However, try it tomorrow and if you like it, welcome to our sxs forum, and dont forget, there are some awesome ROMS out there!

Performance wise they are about the same. So it would not be much of an upgrade (you'd get 0,1" larger screen and maybe better camera but you'd lose microsd, lte, software updates [xperia sp should get KitKat sometime soon], battery [1800 vs 2370 mAh battery])
Conclusion: I would not recommend this trade!
If this trade wont cost u much. HOX has much better screen (im my opinnion even better than S3 pentille) and dont forget that hox is 2012 htc flagship and he have also nice support from xda. In my case i`d trade sp for hox (did i wrote it right? I meant: Sell sp, buy hox.
Hello guys,
I'm as of now an iPhone 5 user and my parents have took my phone away because i was using it "too much" for about 5 months ago. Today, me and my parents were in an electronic shop and we've been looking for some phones for my grands. Then my mom just randomly said, that she will be using my iPhone 5 as shes normal phone and she offered me a deal, i would still have the iPhone 5 which i can't use much, OR if i'll consider about the S3 Mini or the Xperia M. So here's my question, does the Xperia M worth? Are there many ROMs? Do the features are almost same as in iPhone 5? Does CM11 lags really much or bugs? Is the multitasking good as in iPhone? Can the phone be good in hardware for about next 3-4 years? Therefore, thanks to all who can answer me those questions.

This phone can pretty much fill all your needs. There are almost nil bugs in CM11 and it doesn't lagg! Multitasking is 200% better than the iPhone :silly: You can always peep in the Development and Original Development section for roms there are a variety of AOSP Roms as well as Stock based roms!
In terms of hardware for the next 3-4 years the phone is packed with a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor along with Adreno 305 which runs almost any game or heavy app without lagg (Even Facebook :victory: :silly
Tho I won't give you wrong info about the phone.. It would heat a bit but not so much. For minimal use and just multitasking its a great phone and I totally recommend you to buy it! :highfive::laugh::fingers-crossed:

I love Sony for their responsive UI and the never before experience they give who have got their new first xperia device! Samsung packs in a lot of apps that are not needed in daily activities and stuff we usually do on phone!
Also, Sony is not predictable like Samsung is for example was the Xperia M 4.3 update expected?
Hope the above links help ^^ :fingers-crossed:

Well, it's 50:50 for me. Looking on ROMs for both of the devices, just a question, is the community for Xperia M big?

Seeing upto Facebook yeah looks like it's very big but I really don't know how many from the "11K" members group really own an Xperia M!
Based on my research on google, i see that the specs are similar to each other, but:
If you looking for more performance and multitasking, choose Xperia M :victory:
If you looking for a phone with strong display (Gorilla Glass), choose S3 Mini. :fingers-crossed:
Anyway, the choose is still depend on you. Good luck!
Guys, just another question, will be there more ROMs for this device? Like, i couldn't find MIUI, Lewa or something like that? Thx for reply again

Probably there will be more roms, just wait and see. But In my opinion cm11 is quite good custom rom for our device.

And how about themed custom ROMs? (Touchwiz, HTC Sence etc.) Or it is possible to port ROMs from the S3 Mini?
Hello !
i just wanted to ask a simple question , a friend wanted me to switch my s4 mini with his HTc one X
But since i dont know much from the device i wanted to ask you guys if the HTC is more powerful than my S4 ?
Does it have a nice performance on graphic demanding games ?
Have a nice day

Hi ! Both Devices arent really up to date , but i think the HTC one x with its Quadcore Tegra CPU and a better and bigger Display is the better Choice , even the S4 mini is the newer Device. Just my personel Opinion.

That depends on your personel usage.Every User is different.But as far as what "normal" is ,i think you will be recharging in the Evening.

I'd also recommend the HTC One X.
Like fares70 said, keep your charger near you every evening . I'd say try other Kernels because they DO improve battery life from my opinion.
Keep in mind that I've got a device with a nearly dead battery.
Bought a battery with a higher capacity and i'll report back about the battery life as soon as it arrives!
Dear Oneplus 3 users,
Is it a worth switch from Xperia Z5 to OnePlus 3? Some of my friends said it's not worth the switch.. but i was still curious because some reviewers said it's a really really good phone.. i need advices from you guys OnePlus 3 users.. it would really help me for thinking about the switch.. thanks guys (sorry for bad english)
Believe me ....
Dash charge enough to switch
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk
In my opinion, Comparing to Z5, One Plus 3 is far better. but if you have budget i prefer you S7 Edge, It's the best phone with alot of features, Or you can buy an Iphone 6s
so i should make the switch then? is it annoying when you guys dont have sd card support?

64 Gb is more than enough to install loads of apps and shoot pictures and video's. I still have 34 Gb free.
I have used the OPO (OnePlus One) before my Oneplus 3 and I never had major problems regarding not having an sd-card slot.
I have never used the Xperia Z5 myself, but i can say that the OnePlus 3 with the Snapdragon 820 is a beast. It runs fantastically smooth and the dash charge is really fast.
The only thing i wished the Oneplus 3 had, is a higher resolution display. It is not a bad display -far from it-, but using VR with this phone is not pretty.
hi i switch from z2 to op3 and my brother have z5 but i like op3 and i think i better than Z5 in fingerprint..screen...front camera..storage..and of course developer support and the big thing is dash charge

I switched from Z3 and I love my OP3
+Easy to root, unlock Bootloader, etc..
+Wide community, on Xperia it was mainly SLiM for me, here you got the choice, I am on Revolution Remix, very nice!
+No SDCARD >> I dont feel any pain here, actually with my Z3 I had a sdcard and almost never put it off.. Do you? got enough room so far with the 64Gb
+Dash Charge is Wow, and anyway batterry not bad. I use Greenify and be around 50% at end of day
-The only struggle I met sometimes, but I am not sure it is confirmed or my paranoia, it' s the wifi connection, it seems a bit behaving slow or weird sometimes, but I still hope someone comes with a solution about that.
Cheers
But there's a lot of other options (Moto G4, etc) for not so much more, I like the removable battery and the way the back looks. I've heard some negative about the GPS, but since it has a S410, is it the antenna or software?
The camera seems to lack some in taking pictures outside in daylight too, from what I have read.

The camera is really great, best i ever had and it's the cheapest device i ever bought.
Gps is good enough, surely tops all mediatek devices and is as good as a 250 bucks sony m4 dual for example. Accuracy after fix is very good, fix is super fast with network, in airplane mode without any supplementary data the first fix is slow (around two minutes).
So if you're outside your country and want fast fix with no network the first day you need to be patient. But that is a problem most devices have and it is only of you have no data, no wifi to get the agps data downloaded.
So i would recommend the device.

So essentially, this mobile is better than the Moto G4 Play, even though it costs less?

G4 play camera is bad but its battery is larger. Same cpu. Same sensors. Take the wileyfox if you dont need a big battery. But the difference is not so big.

I think if I had to buy now, I might take the G4 Play for the bigger battery, but I'm still quite happy with the Swift.
It's a tie, I think.
The Swift has a gyroscope that is missing of the G4 Play. The latter one has bigger battery.
I'm perfectly happy with the Swift (especially if you can grab it on 99£ promotion) but neither will be a bad decision

I would not buy it again. Mainly because of the battery. It does not last a full day and the fact that even though it is removable, this does not help. I have not found the possibility to buy neither a battery nor an external charger.

Batteries are available, but not really cheap. And my device lasts 2 days with cm 13 nightly and beroid kernel installed. Wifi always on but i dont play games... You can tune it even more if you set it do disable cores to last 4 days

I'd get a Wileyfox Spark+ instead of the swift. It has the same specs but feels a lot nice in the hand. Better finish and it just feels a lot more premium. Normally it's also the same price.
