[OFF-TOPIC] Xperia T(L)(X) Users Hangout Lounge - Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V

Hey,
I created this thread because I enjoyed a very similar thread back in the day I owned my Desire S (still visit it quite often, the thread has +1300 replies (!) ). It serves to reduce the ammount of off-topicness between the (development / other) threads, also to have a laugh and ask some questions regarding various subjects. Young or old, noob or developer; everyone's welcome.
Feel free to talk and troll about anything, aslong as it's within the Forum Rules
Let's go.

I'll start.
So who else among here haven't had any Apple products in your family. I do.
My Miss has a One x, daughter has Xperia P, and the youngest has Asus TF300 tab. We're an android fan family. No Mac for us as well, 2 desktop Windows PC in the house.
And yes I guess I'm old for xda, I'm already on my thirties and I think some of you here are as young as my kids.

No Apple products here too!

My family are apple and blackberry unfortunately, the only reason my mum has android is I donated her my old zte blade
Only 19 years of age here, I'm probably on the younger side of most people around here

Well I got a Mrs who can't tell me why she wanted a iPhone.
Me - so what features do you want?
Mrs - an iPhone so I can have apps and stuff like that, and a web browser.
Me - ummm what about a decent andriod phone.
Mrs - why do I want a robot I want a phone.
That's what I'm up against.
My sons both have my HTC's that I have owned.

My ex gf wanted an iPhone when I first met her, then she saw that my Xperia X10 (when it was new haha) and realised that iOS sucks worse than 1.6 donut, she then got a Desire HD and was rocking ICS (PA, CM9 etc...) All her typical 'iPhone is the best' friends were amazed of how it looked and all the features, she now has SGSIII. It amazed me of how an OTT price tag gives people the impression that iPhone is by far the best.

My wife wanted an iPhone :banghead: but I persuaded her to get an Android, now my daughter had an Android for her phone, plus two Android tablets, mine and my wife's and two windows laptops. Thank god there's no maggot ridden apples in my house lol

The one X is also a truely a brilliant device, some of my friends have it and I hear no-one complaining except for having to flash a boot.img every time they flash a rom. I just bought the XT so I'll probably be around here for 1,5 years or more .

Not sure why I said X. I meant HTC One! I had an X, but my son drowned it in my cat's water bowl! I got this Xperia T as a stop-gap. Actually very impressed with it. Had it since January and only bothered rooting it on Monday. Best stock ROM I've encountered.
Highly recommend using the Xperia Launcher mod if you are not already using it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2021332

I killed my poor old One X a while ago and have been looking for something to replace it lately. I have the opportunity to purchase a TL for what I feel is a very fair price but I am a little hesitant. I really really liked my One X and do not want to be disappointed if I purchase the TL and regret it in a week or two.
Would you add $100 out of pocket and pick up another One X or maybe even a Nexus 4 instead of the TL?
Thanks!

arent lool im only 14

Yep there arent few young members. Back when i was developing for xperia 2011 there were like three 14 aged developers. I am 15 , but... still i think there are kids who like wasting time here.
And to start a new thing here, try answering that question: What is your favourite activity. Pass aroud some stories about it. I think its better if we dont discuss tech in off-topic...
So I personally like biking. I bike to school and from it. The past Sunday i was on a championsip (countrycross) and i finished 12th :victory:. And yesterday i flat my back tire in the middle of the road to school and i pushed my bike to school and missed 3 lessons and i think i shall flat more often tires cause ,teachers cant tell me anything, i have the "proof":laugh:

I got to be honest now as well, im 16 (in 2 weeks 17) and I generally like snowboarding (we have an indoor hall near), drinking beer with the mates in the pub, and apparently android development. I also like to go for a run once in a while
@MrTapa i usually travel by bus to school (25km) and fell asleep on an early morning. Drove all the way to Middelburg which is 40 kms further than school also missed 3 classes.
Next school year ill go stuying though, and ill have a bachelors pad (correct?) near school. Bicycle hello!

I like skiing but my father had broken his foot twice from skiing and he is very worried so i usualy dont ski mainly not to panic him

Sony Xperia ZR is rumored to be in the works! Quad core, 4,6' 720p display, water and dust-proofness again!
But... 8GB internal again... if it was 16GB then maybe this phone would be something interesting... but such a small amount of memory would run out in a moment.
Back to the topic - I love karate! I'm a student at Bydgoszcz Kyokushinkai Tezuka Group for about 8 years now and I tell you - if you want to get fit and be prepared for every uncomfortable and dangerous occasion, or just want to try something cool, try martial arts!

Apple's most successful(and irritating) product: meet the iSmug

Hi all,
i have been using this forum for some months after I got my amazing android phone. I am happy there is finally competition for good phones that are not iphones. I do not like apple's way of doing business and definitely the smugness of most people who get an iphone and think their coolness has gone off charts.
You know what I mean? People who have a need to show off their iproducts in public? I am so happy i have an android. Android people are so much fun to talk to and cool to discuss wasy to improve their phone.
Apple's best product has been the ismug What do you think? do you know what i am talking about?
Message to the moderator: i hope this is the right forum(if not please move it)
that is so true! i personally appreciate the quality of apple products, however i believe that apple products are incredibly overpriced, and their biggest advantage is their biggest downfall: Apples iron grip on their software
Lemme tell you a short story.
I am on a trip to Athens the other day and,as everyone in a large city,I used the subway to go to my destination.Entering the train,I found a seat next to a guy who looked like being 20-25 years old.He didn't seem geeky at all in fact.I sat next to him,but then he did something he shouldn't have.He pulled an iPhone 4 out of his pocket!Oh sh!t.There was also a girl sitting right in front of us,in a seat looking towards us.She told him "Nice phone you have there"(She had an old Sony Ericsson btw).He found a chance to show off then.And then,after I had lost my temper,I pulled my Galaxy S 2 out of my pocket and started playing with it.He looks at it,his eyes go wider than usual and awe was obvious in his expression.The girl(a beauty in fact) turns to my side and says "Your phone is nicer than the iPhone".Then I started to show off.The games,the screen,the effects,everything was better.That iSmug next to me turned white and got off at the next stop.The girl and I had a...nice time after that btw.
And what's the moral of the story?Android ftw!
Tolis that is an amazing story.
i think the only way to strike back at the apple cult is to make fun of their smugness
ps hi from thessaloniki
ps 2 Galaxy S ii is great
Most of the people think iProducts are COOL. It has now become a factor of an individual's "coolness".
Then someone pulls out their android phone and they're like, "Is that samsung?", "Bleh".
I am bored of listening: you have a Samsung? It looks like an iclone...;
Haha, Tht was funny and intersting at the same time

This douchebag in my boy scout troop once compared his 80 gigabyte iPod to my 2 gigabyte Samsung YP-T9. Another person pulled out his 8 gig Nano and harassed me about mine being inferior. Got into a fight and quit scouting for good. Mine had an FM radio and Bluetooth.

The thoughts people get into their heads when they get Android phones.

I really hate when someone new to Android walk over to me (my school is full of retards [no pun intended]) and ask me to get them free apps. They ask me if they have to jailbreak their phones and if they have to install something. As the conversation grows I realize how dumb they are and they only make me angrier everytime they ask an even dumber question. Has this happened to you or does it happen to you a lot?
I guess I have rooted like 20 droids till date for my friends ...so yeah but once thy get how to do it and read on xda they are on there own ....
I have successfully setup ONE friend with a rooted phone, although I flaunt my skills A lot. It boggles kids minds since I'm in football, powerlifting and build my own roms haha

Damn... I miss the MyTouch 4G, the last rom I had on that phone was Sense 3.0 and that was when it first came out and was buggy as hell. Miss that phone :/
Most of my friends that I end up talking to about Android stuff have already rooted themselves and done a bit of modification including possibly flashing Roms.
And this my friend is how you can make thousands of dollars a month =)

I agree. In 5th grade I got like 50 bucks for jailbreaking kids itouch. Those were good days... Although at my school, I feel like I'm one of the only kids that choose an android phone over the iphone. Everyone else with android just got it because iphone was to expensive for them.

Time Frame/Tell your story here on xda![Archive]

I would like to do a time frame. Where we could talk about our years here. Lets see who is the oldest and what we have gave to this forums.
Personally Ive been here since 2004-05. And basically since its started when it was hard to read the texts on my razor and this was basically Htc only.
This site has been great for me and sometimes missed the simplicity of the starting years. And I believe this forums are the true shapers on the mobile era.
Please post youre time. and a story
I have a few but ill start with loosing my first account. Dont even know how it was called!

when I started the threads were a little difficult to understand. and everything was in one main page. where you could find rhe .cab files. but you had to keep scrolling down to find what you were looking. Now its all organized and eye candy.

Bro please stop that before you get banned! youre affecting the course of this thread. Im investigating abut how old is this thread and how long its been effective on the people. I think a great part that since 2003i the % of people buying smartphones has grown from a 20% to 90% has to in great part to forums like this. specially this one. people started to know about hacks and how they affect they to bennefit the costumer rather that the company.
Xda has been the pioneer when people started to know about roots and other methods of hacking the os of their devices. making them better. and having features locked by carriers. Xda has been there to keep this idea forward. and I want people to start talking about xda's evolution. and the we could take this info and make it a news letter for people to continue the tradition which we started years ago!:thumbup:

I for one part started to love this place when I had my Razor. I started to know about firmwares and hack. and every time I searched the web I ended here. there werent the hacks I needed then. That led me to my first account. but it was good to know this was there. and to read about people doing amazing stuff.
This led me to buy my first pocketpc-smartphone. a Treo 750 which I bought from second use and I still have it running a custom wm 6.5 rom with titanium.
Then I bought an Lg incite (wm) which kept me here but most of my time on lg-incite.com
the site grew and my fasination for htc too. not to be surpriced as most of the hacks where make for this devices.... check the history of the first diamond with manila. ( what we call now Sense)
So it led me to buy a Diamond 2
this was another revolution. I was a moderator on the htc-pure forums. but kept my profile here. and was as always morw and more in love with this site as I continued to know that the hacks came from here.
Now on the Dhd I had a bittersweet relation. many forum memebers dont like to keep tradition. But this continues to grow fast. Proof of this is the compact view.
We shall continue making history!

I wasn't expecting a happy ending - that would have been insulting.
But, it should have been done better. It's like we've spent the last 7 years getting to know someone inside out, and then they change in the last 5 minutes of the show into something completely different. Is anyone else reminded of Anakin's 5 minute journey to The Dark Side? It was just badly portrayed.
Apparently though, the last series was meant to span over at least 2, which is where the rumours about it having another series to go came from. They did cram in too much story and that spoilt it.
The last series was rubbish for me. It pretty much killed my appreciation for what had come before.

Maybe they crammed too much story that's why people were expecting a somewhat different ending. I feel that the reason why he succumbed into seclusion was because of his very nature. We know Dexter as the person who is known for taking decisions no one could.
But I agree to the point that they did cram too much story in last season. Though it's disappointing to see him like that but he could not have done anything else accounting to his very character.

Getting to Know You - Share a Pic of Yourself!

Since there will be a lot of new faces in the N5 section, and of course a lot of love and hate affairs will be taking place in the next year I find that when we put a face to a name there seems to be more friendly communication. I have done this in another device section on XDA and it turned out to be really successful and extremely fun as well.
If you guys are interested and the admin are okay with it then let's get it started and start posting up some pics of yourself, family etc.
If everyone prefers to be incognito here then we can just close this thread.....
I am 37, married with one kid and live in the US, North Carolina. Grew up in NY though.
My smart phone journey started years back with a Windows Pocket PC phone PPC-6600 if anyone remembers that. Started out at Sprintusers.com and then moved to PPCGEEKS.com for all my needs. I used to be scared of XDA. It was the place where the big boys hung out. Man, it was intimidating. Then I slowly built up the courage to check out XDA for myself and slowly worked my way in here.
Now we have so many different levels of users and while some might think that is a bad thing I think it's great. We all have to start somewhere and seeing people transition from noobs with not a clue to the ones helping others and some guys even taking on development themselves, it is a great community we have here!
Well you can see me in my avatar. I'm a mom of 3, love technology and looking forward to coming home after work on Tuesday to my brand new Nexus 5 to replace my S2.

Yo! This is a really good idea-- have never seen it before.
Anyway-- 20 year-old, in college, studying CS. Can't wait to get my Nexus tomorrow. Previously owned, HD2, One, i9300, Nexus 4 among others.
Will post a pic when I use my desktop-- none in my lappy.
Cheers dude!
Edit: Strong selfie in Frankfurt last summer
why not. 19, on my gap year at the moment - probably will go on to study physics as a degree. learning c# and java at the moment so i may go into android development as a hobby.

Hey guys! Here's a photo of me and my boy, and my grandpa photo bombing us like a boss.
Taken this summer on my son's first trip to Disney World. We were waiting in line for the Toy Story ride.

Nice, was that the one in Florida? Were taking our son there for the first time in December.
hell yeah, why not? That's me, the pic was taken at ocean front in Barcelona, but I live in Switzerland.
I'm looking forward to my first Nexus (after a Galaxy Note 2), to quicker access to the latest Android goodies, and to not have to remove unnecessary bloatware.
You can see me from my avatar and came from a Xperia Z1 and loving this phone so far.

Yeah that was in Florida. December is a great time to go! The weather is awesome there during that time of the year, plus all the parks get a Christmas makeover.
I don't know how old your boy is, but mines two and there was plenty of stuff for him to do. He had a blast, he still talks about it to this day.
You guys are going to have a good time!

He was 3 in August so hopefully he will enjoy himself. He loves all the Disney characters.
Hi not much of a selfie taker but here I am!!
I'm 35, mum of 2 in the UK. Got the N5 on Friday and love it so far. Will be interesting to see the feedback when the Play orders start getting delivered.

Once you go Nexus, you never go back.
The great thing about owning a Nexus you won't care about what the other guys are doing you will just care about the next Nexus.

It's hard for a kid to not enjoy Disney World. As a parent, I got a lot of joy out of seeing my boy's reaction and excitement to everything.

Coming from am N4 I am mostly looking forward to the 5" 1080p screen. A 4.7" screen is nice if there weren't soft keys on the screen so a 5" should be just the right amount of real estate with the soft keys.
I know you can remove them and use other options but I like my keys usable without any other actions.
wow and i assumed almost every xda user is some teenage kid hyped up on androids
just shows how much one shouldn't stereotype.

Yeah, the reason I wanted to have this thread here is for everyone to see the wide range of people there are on XDA from teenage kids to parents to grandparents.
It will also help when communicating in the other threads as you might think twice on how you react to people when they ask certain things. They are not just a punk teen hiding behind a nickname...They are an old guy, acting like a punk teen hiding behind a nickname. Lol

Good stuff bro. It is easy to get sucked into that life. Glad to hear things are good now. It's much harder to get out then to get in. Stay strong! Cool Android tat. Amazing how phones bring so many different types of people together.
