umm well, not like that! BTW, I did a little research and seems you r right.. I better save on some more money! Thanks!
Don't take Xperia S, battery is really bad (3h max while browsing internet on 3g / wifi), 1GB of RAM is not enough for this phone

good that common sense prevailed.
buy a new handset even if your budget is a limiting factor. this way you will save the hassles of battery issues + android version.
Dude, it's almost 4 years old..., not 3. Still alive thanks to XDA devs. I'm amazed how I started with Gingerbred 2.3, and now I'm running full-blown 5.1.1 Lollipop. That phone survived for 3 generations!

I bought my first Defy just before Christmas.
Well I lost my Defy in the Indian Ocean on holiday a couple of weeks ago..... waterproof video
Problem is I really liked the Defy but is it really worth paying for twice £260 x2 ?
What is it like with 2.2 and will it ever get an open bootloader?
Convince me to get another one, because I can't decide.
BTW I'm now using a Nokia 5800, so it may not take too long before I get the urge.

Question is: What are alternatives and what features do you need? If you need waterproof video, the selection is probably limited . 260 Pounds sounds a bit expensive IMHO.

1.Don't know yet, 2. probably not.
I personally think the phone is worth it's money and it is a solid and reliable device, but because of the locked bootloader I will not buy a Motorola phone again and hence will not convinve you in buying one.
By elementary economics/accountings, your bricked phone is historical and shouldn't be factor in your decision

Why pay so much? On ebay you can find new for 200-220 euros. i found mine for 190
problem resolved
checked on Ebay and put in a bid for £215 on a new sim free Defy and won. Was checking out Samsung Galaxy S as well, they look nice. FTR Nokia 5800 is fairly rubbish, but worth £70.... hello Ebay
The moral here was that we shouldn't be too tight with our money. Or tie string on your phone when in the sea, you choose.
out.
Hi guys.
My Xperia S got bricked, i don't know why :/
I have a deodexed stock rock for some months now. one week ago i've done a full reset, under settings menu.
Yesterday, i was going to check if i have any message, and my phone is dead.
It does not want to turn on, led does not torn on with charger or connected to PC, and my PC does not recognizes it even with flashtools.
I've tried some Unbrick tips, nothing worked. Removed battery for 7 or 8 hours, tried to flash something, nothing happens...
Can please someone help me?
Thanks!
Erm. I recommend you to bring it to a sony service center or to a technician.
This happened to me also, the technician said that the board is damaged and replaced it. And now its working again
At first he tried to replace the digitizer and LCD but nothing happened.
How much did you paid for the board?
I'm not lucky at all... -_- I think i should not traded my Sony for another brand... lol

I'm not worried about Lollipop... I'm very satisfied with android 4.4.4 on my Mi3...
But if you could buy the Mi4, you will not regret, and i think it will get Lollipop before Mi3...
Hi people,
Searching for a battery for my mother's phone, I saw a 3000 mAh battery for our Z3 Compact on the Ali Express:
aliexpress.com/item/3000mAh-LIS1561ERPC-Mobile-Phone-Battery-for-SONY-Xperia-Z3-mini-Compact-M55W-D5833-SO-02G/32720351617.html
I sent a message for the seller to get more information but I believe that he won't have much others.
Anyone here already saw this battery, already placed it in a phone and used to know the quality and if there not got any problem?
i saw that too...but i wouldnt risk it... with Battery exploding for no apparent reason...
the autonomy in the z3 is pretty good as it is...
approximately 3 years and still going strong...

My Z3 doesn't have, but I got it with 1 year of use and screen broken.
But soon I'll do all the procedure to install a custom ROM and I hope it'll improve

I bought mine for $300. Its worth it at that price.
You dont need to replace the battery if the battery still gets you enough juice for +2 days.
Been out for a while but still look very good on paper...worth £250.. thanks

I'd say deffo worth it. Just looked on Mi store but couldn't see it for this price - £329 only. But yeah, if you can get one new for £250 it's for sure worth it. A while ago I paid £200 for a used one on ebay with a scratch on the screen, that was when they were selling for £300+ for a new one, so your £250 is great. Much, much faster and better built than the Alldocube iPlay 40 it replaced - even though this had more ram, the ram as a guess was slower. This Mi Pad is snappy. Let me/us know if you have any more questions

Fair do, think that's what I bought my dad for birthday. Yeah, it's not too shabby either. Couple of extra GB ram in the Mi pad though, unless you have the 128GB version - think that's got 6GB too. Hope you like it, not bad after selling the Lenovo, getting the Pad 5 for about £100 - niice!
You gonna flash another rom or leave it stock for a while? Running AwakenOS on mine, I'm told it's the best rom for now, even though it's an initial build iirc
Pad 5 vs P11 Plus

Hmm, I'm no expert but I would recommend updating to last MIUI 13 before the upgrade to 14, just to be safe. In theory, though, it shouldn't matter, as you'll be flashing the full rom so it should go through fine
