I would want your opinion. Is it worth it to switch from Note 1 to Xperia ZL?
I find my Note has really slowed down since the JB update. Also the battery is really draining fast. I wanted to switch to a newer phone but S4 is really expensive as of now.
Can you also recommend anything? What about Note 2, or S3?
Thanks!

Just go with xperia ZL. And if you can somehow get to it, try the htc one. One is the first phone I tried that does not have any trace of lag whatsoever, beautiful finish, nice enough camera. As for the xperia Z and ZL, I only tested the Z and it's pretty nice but it requires a custom rom immediately :laugh:
Thanks for the info. As for the HTC One, that phone is too expensive here in my country. S4 is even cheaper than the One. I would like to just root the phone and maintain the stock rom.
Because I have been reading reviews of the Xperia ZL. I can live with the issues in viewing angles but not the poor performance of the camera. Given that Sony should be good with cameras.
Thanks.

Cheap solution-get new battery and put nice custom jb rom.
Then you can patiently wait for price s4 / htc one to drop :fingers-crossed:
Simple question: new Nexus 4 or used Xperia Z (condition: noticeably used, but without big scratches, ~7/10)? What would you choose?
If you could, please write pros/cons. I'd really appreciate any help! Thanks.
If camera doesn't matter too much and you lkve flashing roms, and are happy with the dc-hspa speeds then get the nexus. If you decide to go for the XZ make sure it has an unlockable bootloader.

xperia, water resistant
xperia is water resistant and has a bigger screen, nexus 4 has quickest updates.both are really good phones IMO, I was deciding between these two and went for xperia obviously.

Looks like it is made by a 5 year old and Xperia T is twice in the image, 1 with YES and 1 with NO.
Looks fake to me.
Edit: And the Google edition of the Xperia Z will be updated by google of course... and don't know why it is in here anyway

I don't care anymore. OmniRom is gonna be the bomb and after my T it's gonna be a Nexus
I was going to get a nexus 4 instead of my crappy xperia t but no sd card slot was the problem. I regret buying this phone and worst of all I can't unlock the bootloader

Different strokes... Wait until you take a picture on the Nexus 4 (or from what the specs say the 5). Unlike the Sony, it is truly horrible camera.
The trick is never buy a subsidized phone, then it won't be simlocked or bootloader locked. That was an option with the Xperia T. I picked up mine for $279 at newegg.
The camera on my t is rubbish. When you take a video all you can here is a clicking noise from the camera

just to make sure what u talking about...you mean a noisy autofocus rattle sound, in videos?
if thats what you mean, i had that too with some Roms, but with omniRom its gone for me. dont know why. guess its a problem with some mic or whatever. happen for me just with some roms, not with all...crazy huh
thats your problem?
Maybe the Xperia T LTE is the one getting 4.3 update. I think the 3G one will not get the update. Maybe i'm wrong.
Neither are just like what happened to my play. A phone with specs good enough but not given the updates on purpose. If sony want to gain the market they need to release 1 flagship a year and support their previous flagships for longer than 5 months. The galaxy s3 is older and is getting android 4.3 and why aren't we?

I also will no longer support Sony's devices after this, kind of a slap in the face. They can take their T and stick it
this is what sony deserve after they screwed my over twice. First with my xperia play now with phone. No wonder why xperias depreciate so quickly

Because no update to new version and sony bad, nexus cool because google. New version is good, because it keeps on battery half hour longer/lasts shorter but better. And profiles/new function in camera which i will use two times in my life/better integration with google plus omg! And no new version means that flagship abandoned. I am betrayed. sony bad.
To be honest i don't understand it too. When it comes - it comes. If not - who cares. Update from 2.3 to 4.0 was a big deal, because everything changed. API, nature of Android etc. GB slowly died and became incompatible with many interesting apps.
But update from one jelly bean to another? Dudes... It's only features!
Please just be happy that Sony released quite recent well written Android version. It's highly optimized and allows to do almost everything that is available to 4.2 and 4.3 devices..
apart from the fact that it melts the back of your phone so hot you can't touch it

Well not for me, it depends on your preference.
LG G2 design and quality is better than S4 I came from S4 to G2 before owning Z1. I really like the way LG designed G2, from buttons, bezel, screen size and curve sides, the only downside for me is the lack of sd slot.

I have owned a Galaxy nexus and a nexus 4, the Z1 is very nice, the only thing I really hate is the bloatware, and the slow OS updates (still in 4.2.2), but the Z1 looks great, other than that I really like the phone. The nexus 5, well is a nexus.

waste of money and a minor performance bost/upgrade to S5's 801 Snapdragon processor.
stick with the Z1, until at least the 805 processor based phones come out and you have a significant upgrade.

hi i was the same got rid of my s4 for z1, but i am sick of having to keep buying new devices every 4-6 months, just wait abit longer, z1 is not a bad phone, but the magic of sammy is calling lol, good luck with your decission, regards joe,
Despite the fact that it's really not an upgrade to go to S5, Samsung looks like sh1t compared to Z1 Z1 is a classy phone that looks good even if you're a businessman. S5 is a phone for people who just care about performance, that's my opinion.

..with a good Rooted Rom and Custom kernel you can Pimp your Phone and customize RGB and Withe Balance and 60% of bad angles you get rid of it.
If only I could find a phone with a decent 180 degree viewing angle......

You do NOT need to unlock the bootloader to gain root.
You do not void your warranty as rooting is a two way process
Also, as for guides...please search there are literally hundreds, if not thousands, of posts explaining how to do it. (I myself write it about 4 times a day, so one more wont hurt)
1) Flash a FTF ending in 534 for your phone (Find files and instructions in the mega collection thread in the general section)
2) Instal Dual Recovery (Find files and instructions in the dual recovery thread in the cross device development section)
3) Flash a 757 pre-rooted ROM of your choice (Find them in the development section)
Done
Thanks a lot,
One more thing I don't like In sony devices their software never bug free and launcher not so smooth/tweaked, wallpaper scrolling like less fps, touchscreen start miss after 2 days, I restart my phone then touch screen runs fine for more 2 days..
These Things Sony always fail to provide better software, waited 2 years but still sony behaves like noob,
Hardware wise like camera sound no doubt, it's nice. But software always buggy.

s5 is a bit better in performance but seems quite few that u cant feel the difference
z1 got a better camera and more stylish in my opinion
also the sony audio effects (u might be able to flash them on samsung anyway)
Z1 is a good phone, and if you like it, then don't upgrade to a new phone and wait till there is a phone you really want.
Guys is the touch screen dsync issue normal? I get it very slight, after 2 days I need to restart my phone to fix it, then it works fine.. Touch screen dsync issue is always happens it happens very less, mostly after 2 days of restart..
Is that normal?
