So, this is no new news, the article is just saying an announcement from Sony for the Xperia S 4.1 is near.
Don't read Android Central articles, just follow the Xperia Twitter and Xperia Blog posts directly.
They're supposed to announce the timeline for the 2012 devices in mid-December but JB is not coming until February at least from what I've read.

Thanks for advise guys !!!
So when they say S, do they mean the S as well as the SL? I'd assume so since they are essentially the same thing with a different processor.

Oh cool. The more you know :good:
so this is an announcement that they will have an announcement?
Inception badadum tssss
Calm down, boys, we all very well know that official Jellybean won't be on our phones that fast. It's Sony, so we have to wait(thanks to CM, no more. After CM I see little reason to use stock). We saw news about early november/late october, now it's december, after december it will be january, and some site will yell OMG EXPARIA S IZ OPTODET TO JILLYBEAM!!!!111111
No, it won't happen before the time Sony decided. They won't just say "Hey guys, let's make a surprise" and release JB.
Hi, I'm currently still using stock rom on my xperia s. Is CM really such a huge difference? And which CM should I take? (CM 9 or 10) Thanks!

If you don't care about FM radio and 1080p video recording,you can choose CM10.

mid q1, too long will have CM 10.1 by then.
They'll announce they had to cancel the update since due to internal testing, they found the hardware not sufficient to support JB

So like middle of February, about two months away. Not too long of a wait at all.

Yeah, that made me mad a bit... I mean I love the camera and the screen of the XS but since ICS it's a piece of garbage... Losing focus, music stutters, no quick launch for cam, network drop out, random slowdowns, home screen redraw, etc... Last sony for sure... I'll try to enjoy it until it dies and then either a Nexus or WP. Enough of Android's fragmentation, late updates (if any), childish UI on other manufacturers roms, etc. I'm looking forward to see if JB improves anything but so far from what I saw on other devices (mainla cooked rom's however, it won't). We'll see (or not)

Get a Nexus.. I too am sick of Sony and their lack of updates. I had an Arc S, and it was OK, I have an Xperia S and it's terrible, FAR too many software faults, most of which you mention.
I won't make the mistake of buying Xperia again.
Im just waiting for an Sony Nexus. I dont know if it will come out one day.. If not..
Another Sony :cyclops:
Huawei has just unveiled the Ascend P6 Android smartphone at a crowded event in London. At 6.1mm thick, it's the slimmest smartphone in the world.

Agreed - It might just be the worthy successor to my old Desire
Wish Canadian carriers had these, or many other brands...only phones you can get here are HTC and Samsung..occasionally you will see LG or Motorola.
I got one!
As I'm on vacation in China, I just got an Ascend P6 myself.

I know it's pretty hard to tell, but what about the battery? How much/for what did you use it before you had to charge it?
Thanks.

That's because you go the Chinese version. The P6 for markets outside the Chinese market will definately have Google apps.

Do you find it to be sluggish? The Engadget review said it slowed down at times. I don't care about gaming, but I do want the phone to be fluid. Especially a phone that's as sleek as the P6.
I still only habe Chinese branded Apps. Though the Browser looks and feels like chrome. And yes, it's dos not feel as fluid as a Nexus 4. But I like the slim design.

Just got the phone today (European version) and it's a very decent phone. It's pretty good in speed and performance, it's true the phone becomes warm when using it intensively but it doesn't bother me. Both main camera and front camera is pretty good. Emotion UI is also pretty decent. (IMO it's a 90% rip of MIUI though...)
Would like to see a forum added for this phone soon
Any more questions about the phone, just PM me
Does it have Google Play Store?

Yes, if it is European version.
OK, I just studied the P6 spec more closely.
I don't understand how Huawei can release a phone with such mediocre spec as a high end phone.
The P6 can merely compete with the old Galaxy S3, and it is more than a year newer.

I can see where your coming from but in day to day use, the p6 performs just as well as any other high end device. Number and benchmarks to me don't mean anything. I've been using the p6 for about 3 days and when it comes to text, phone calls, internet browsing and other normal functions, the phone is amazing. Not to mention, I've had everyone around me mistake it for a toy phone and once finding out it's not, ask how they can obtain one.
How is gps working?
Diffstyle, Whookid, Tutmann,
One question. How is GPS performing?
On amazon a reviewer said the fix comes in 5-6 minutes so he is asking a solution to huawei.
I am using a lot the GPS Navigator so for me is an important benchmark.
looks really sexy, however for me battery life is the most important issue ... this one won't last long

P6
I was thinking of buying one myself to replace my old Galaxy S2...
Do you guys reckon there'll be launched a forum for the P6? I would really miss all the custom ROM's...
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?

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

I've asked Huawei support and they aren't really giving anything away. They won't even say if they have plans to release it, yet alone when it might happen. Android 7 will be out soon and we have a current model device that doesn't even have 6. Very disappointing

Yep, I'm done with my Mediapad. Went back to my Nexus 9. Even though it has RAM issues, I'd rather deal with that than put up with that horrible and buggy EMUI. Never buying Huawei again.
Okay, you don't like EMUI. But why you don't use nova launcher or any other? It works pretty nice on the M2.

I use Nova Launcher and the Pure Icons theme to remove some of EMUI but it is impossible to get rid of it all with this ROM.
Atleast the kernel sources got released.. imagine CM13 on our hardware wise great tablets. Now to find developers :'(
But man did Huawei wait WAY to long with any updates or even news. What a disappointment..great hardware, the most crap EMUI 3.1 ever.
So many just got rid of the tablet...bad move Huawei
who else love it
I thought there was gonna be a "but" on the text lol. I do love it too, I came to this phone from a Pocophone and the only thing i miss is the custom ROMs development on the Oneplus 7T.

Don't know if it's never gonna come or devs just haven't had the time to work on it. I read on their blog that the primary dev was having his child born and coudn't work on it. Also if I'm not mistaken the only phones with Android 10 out of the box as of right now are the Pixel 4 series and the Oneplus 7T series so not a lot to work on. Wait until Xiaomi, Samsung and more brands release Android 10 by default and I think development of TWRP on this new kind of partition system is gonna get more attention. That is why I'm hopeful that development for this phone can get more attention "soon-ish".
I like it alot wish there was more development tho
If google would just make something this quality i would buy one of their phones already. I was dissapointed in the looks of the pixel 4. They cheaped out on their components to maximize profits and its obvious. I have been mostly happy with the oneplus 7t but it has had some serious quirks too. I have had to reset mine several times and I am dealing with gps issues constantly.
I mostly love my OnePlus 7t. Though it has some issues. That need addressed. Also the lack of customization options is irritating coming from a custom ROM standpoint.
Love my 7T
Can't wait for TWRP to de-google this phone, but outside of that I totally love it. Although, to be fair this is my very first 'smart' phone so I really have nothing to compare it to. I think it's pretty damn great, actually.
Love the phone? hate the lack of development for it ?
I like it but will definitely hold off on next purchase to make sure development is more active. Luckily oxygen os is pretty decent, but still leaves a lot to be desired.
Can you guys tell me, what exactly you lack of for customization features? No offense, just out of curiosity.
I am flashing all of the devices in my household since the HTC desire days, like for the past 5..6..7 years or so... Constantly looking for the optimal ROM for me or my fiance's use case, tinkering with custom kernels, governer settings, blocking wakelocks... Whatsoever.
This is the first device I am happy with while it is just unlocked and rooted witch only a 1 magisk module active. For me android and OSS has come such a long way that all I build in aftermarket is now integrated in stock. Now it is just rooted, debloated and adfree. That's it for me. Although I somehow miss the long nights of flashing and trying out multiple stuff one after another, but also life gets more serious and time consumable so it's ok for me. I guess same for most of the gurus from the old days.. lol
I now can do my hobby more or less for a living, so no need to do it in my free time anymore...
What do you guys think? Is it just my feeling that the development branch somehow radically changed?

I agree. Since I left HTC (the M9 being he last one) I have not had the need to flash a custom ROM. Was on a Nokia 8 previously and the vanilla-ish android was good. I only missed the weather clock and mail app from HTC - but they are going down sadly so had to jump ship. Left Nokia as they launched too many phones and were not fixing bugs on their ex-flagships - promised to fixed their camera app but never came for example.
With the 7T I have to say I hardly have any complaint. Customisations are great and the phone is amazing. Adjusting the bokeh blur (live bokeh) would have been great even if it was after taking the photo but nothing else to complain about to be fair.
I do miss the old late nights flashing ROMS though - but like you say, life is different now. I haven't even rooted the Nokia and 7T! haha

Hi, I also came from Poco F1. Amazing phone. Took me a while to get use to OP7T even thought it is better in many ways. I bought it new for 300 pounds and then after a year on October 2019 I found a deal like hell and bought a new OP7T for 360 pounds. Amoled display was the biggest advantage I noticed for the first time. Later I could not even look on the Poco F1 display and before I was astonished by the quality of the LCD panel. I got so much used to the face unlock on F1 cause it was so freaking fast and precise even at complete dark. That and the fast fingerprint scanner is another think I missed for a while. But eventually I get used to the in-display one (but they still could add one more on the back cause it is the perfect place for it). Also that I was so used to the MIUI, the environment was kind of weird for me. But with little bit of tweaking and setting up Nova launcher, which I have been using already for like 8 years anyway, helped a lot. And I even found some tweaks I could not do in MIUI. But like you mentioned, there were so much variety of ROMs and hell I like rooting, flashing and stuff like this. There is also one function I found only in MIUI and which helped me a lot when I came lazy like hell from night shift home and that is that you could mirror your screen to smart TV, lets say play a sitcom or whatever, and minimize it on the device itself so I could be on FB, YT, even play a games and not disturb media streaming to my TV. I wish Oneplus add this feature in future.
