hi all , i was considering to buy a mini ( to replace my broken w8 )but the retailer said mini is FILLED WITH PROLBEMS but i insisted on buying the phone (still not sure waiting for my dad's decison)...then i went a little deeper in to this ''problem'' and i found the overheat issue and it's darn common among mini users which may deter me from buying this phone ...i mean the specs are good and all but this issue seems so darn serious and there are a freaking ton of thread regarding this issue ...so from the opinions of the mini users how serious is this problem and how can i solve it?
hi tohno, i heard about what happen on your w8 on x8 forums ..
in fact i just moved on from x8 to and mini is a great phone.
don't worry the overheating issue.
i think that problem just is solved if buy a new mini
it's still heating but not like before ..
oh...nice to hear words from someone of my situation (and same country too imma from selayang ) ..so according to your experience the problem never occured? and is there a way to solve it incase it happnens? oh and how do you compare x8 to mini? how much better is it? how more does it cost? how much easier is it to root? sorry for the amount of question ...just want to make sure my choice won't be a regretful one
i don't know how to handle it incase it happen because it never happen to me
the problem does occured once when the first mini with .268 fw ..after update or if you buy a new phone that already have been update to .62 fw ..the problem is solve but difficult to root.
it's way too much better from x8 ..many hd games can play on this phone no lag have BE ..hd cam ..lol ..
i've just bought it about 3 months ago, in around rm699
EDIT : If you buy an AP set it would be arround like RM528 like that and if you buy from SE it would cost around RM745 something around that
woooots! so if theres no overheat problem that imma buy it ...so the FW .62 is all i need ? and why does the AP and ori price differs so much ?? that's RM200 more! is there a real difference actually ? is ap more prone to overheat issues?
wait...x8 is RM499 while MINI is RM520 ...and mini's specs are way way better than x8 and why is the price so similar? is the overheat issue a factor in it's price drop ?
i've bought a ori set from a local vendor ..i'dont know what the diffrence from the SE ..but if an AP set, they only use the original board but local accessories ..and the screen is much yellowish ..from what i can tell that my friend bought an AP set wt19i ..but some phone are okey ..
about the overheating issue on AP set ..i don't know ..
x8 at RM499 is an ORI set ..AP set would be around RM399
how about u buy mini pro? but quite expensive..
yup ..mini pro ..+RM100 more ...
but mini pro has slide-keyboard equiped, very friendly gadget.
it make u easier to typing/messaging instead of touch
nah ...mini itself is good enough ...my dad will never fork up that extra RM100 nor will i ask ...i only fear that this phone will be problematic ...
depends on someone interest ..for me i don't like slide keyboard ..all i want is touchhh ..touchh touchhh
yeaa...i think i might get my mini next week ...wish me luck =)
ouhh ..forgot to tell ..the heating does happen to me when after a long call ..about 30 minutes later ..the heat effect start to happen ..
only mini user had experienced this issue !
but sometime on my mini pro also happen when playing games for a long time..
lol so the problem is unavoidabole?
each device has their own advantages and disadvantages respectively.
Hi guys!
I own a motorola defy for quite some time now and I'm thinking of switching to SE..
Neo seems like a good phone, I always liked SE phones because of the great camera...
so my question is this:
I know there are a lot af roms for it but I see on cyanogen site that there is a stable release of cm7 for it...
what can you tell me about user experience with it? is it laggy, are there any flaws and downsides with this phone?
every SE android phone that I have came across was slow, laggy and annoying..
what can you tell me to convince me to buy a SE?
please share your experience because I don't have any one to ask, none of my friends have a SE so I can't get it and play with it for a while to see what's it like...
thank you very much:good:
Neo / v isn't really an upgrade from defy, very similar in spec. Infact mine was s replacement for my broken defy.
The lag you've seen will have been on stock Roms, cm/aokp don't lag.
Personally though I would say save a bit longer and get s 2012 Xperia.

thanks for your feedback
I know it isn't really an upgrade but defy/neo specs are enough for my usage...I'm thinking of SE phones because of the camera, I know that they are great..
so when you replaced your defy for a neo, did you regret it? do you wish your defy didn't brake or are you satisfied with neo?
Neo is good for the money, but can't swim like a defy
Camera is not that great tbh

I Think Defy is far more rich in Custom roms then Neo. Stick To Your Defy Or Buy HTC (One v)/ Samsung (Ace 2).

Hi all!
First of all I wish to thanks in advance for any of you who may stop by, and provide some tips, experience
regarding the next matter, advice request:
My context is that I am completely noob regarding choosing android phone.
I want to get my first one, but a low budget, and I thought about Sony Xperia Tipo, cause it uses Android ICS,
and its hardware specs are some better than comparing to others of similar budget as LG Optimus L3, Samsung Galaxy Mini
( phonearena.com/phones/compare/LG-Optimus-L3,Samsung-GALAXY-mini,Sony-Xperia-tipo/phones/6941,5147,7151 )
I already discarded going for Vodafone Smart II, cause after reading its thread in XDA (around 30 pages), despite it was posible
to be rooted at first, in 1 month the new versions have been capped by cel companies (the recovery, the fastboot etc), at least for Spain, Portugal versions, therefore the customization is getting quite impossible, or very random depending the version, the cel company, ...
I think the main problem it is that this Xperia Tipo has been released quite very recently,
and after been searching through forum about info for rooting the Xperia Tipo, I can't find any info about it :S.
So my 2 questions are:
- it is expected that Xperia Tipo will be rooted in a near future ( and therefore customizable with
ROMs ...) ?
- Taking in count any answer to this question, would you suggest to go for it,
or by other hand go for Samsung Galaxy Mini (despite it has worse HW, Android GingerBread,
BUT it has quite plenty support for rooting and flashing with custom ROMs) ?
Again thanks in advance for any advice, and excuse the long post! )
Cheers!
ive used this phone after recomending it for someone else. Its a great cheap ICS phone dont expect it to be really fast or to play excellant games but it is really good for the price under £100!!!. would i recomend it to someone else after using it YES!!!! just remember to clear the apps your not using from the RAM by pressing the Home key and holding it and swiping it to close it so it doesnt get laggy.
as for root im not a dev but im safley sure it will be rooted in the future as its got a SD card slot so its easier to install CWM recovery etc.
BUT it is new out and dont expect it to happen any time soon i have the Xperia U and thats been out ages now and i still dont have root it just takes time for the devs to get the phones and then to start work on them.
hope it helped

Thanks for the tip!
Being cheap phone is ok, in fact that is what I seek for, a low budget phone as a start point, looking for customization.
Well, I could get that Xperia Tipo for £48, while the Samsung Galaxy Mini would cost £32. HW (CPU, inbuilt mem, display res) difference and phone release date diff, explain the price difference, hehe.
I was tempted to get Vodafone Smart II (for £48, I think), but atfer reading this whole thread forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1722811 , I found that it is a lottery, if I could get it rooted or not :S
My main doubt is if going for Samsung Galaxy Mini cause its great support in matters of rooting and customization, or expect that Xperia Tipo will get some nice support here in XDA, in the future ...
A third choice could be LG Optimus L3 which has worse display res, same price as Xperia Tipo, and it has some support here at forum for rooting and ROMs.
Regarding your Xperia U, I think there is quite nice support in this site, forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1728 , so you mention you still having probs to root it ?
I have just returned my Tipo today due to very poor reception. If you just want a phone to make calls and send texts then it should be more than adequate but if you are going to use it for browsing or games I would find something with a stronger processor as it can be very laggy after using it a while - even in menus. However the touchscreen is responsive and the display should be OK for making calls and texting but I found it very washed out when viewing pics etc. On my particular handset I could hear electrical interference through the headphones but this could be related to my reception fault I guess. If you can I advise you try it out before making a decision - if ur in the UK o2 shops usually have all there the phones on display switched on. If music is important to you the sound quality is very budget. Also the camera has no flash or autofocus. Tbh if it wasn't for the Sony xperia branding on the front I would have though this was a cheap chinese no-name handset as Sony really have cut costs on this one.
I can't comment on the Samsung but I have read bad things about the lg. Have you considered the Motosmart from Motorola. It has a similar spec to the tipo but at least the camera has a flash and its root able (running gingerbread)

I bought this phone a week ago. It's very nice for the price!. It isn't laggy, It has plenty of ram. Obviously it isn't so fast as would be needed for a device to play games,and doesn't have a big screen (or an hires one) if you have to surf the web a lot, but handles with no problems at all divx streaming from my pc, using mx-player. It's clearly better than vodafone smart_II and my device hasn't reception problems at all. The battery (this is a good point in my opinion) it's 1500mah just better than the usual 1200mah used in low-end devices
The camera can make decent photos but hasn't flash or aufocus at all & no front camera just like all the cheap phones.
BTW i think it's one of the best ICS devices avaiable here in Italy for about 150€.
I tried samsung galaxy mini too and this experia is a lot better in my opninion.
I have been using the mobile for more than a month... It's perfect .. Go for it... It is the best in the range... I do use it a lot and it has held up against everything... Custom ROM will be available veeeeeeeeeeeery soon... It is already rooted...

[help] firmware flash
my boot loader is unlocked and my device is stuck at boot with single vibration .
i need to install firmware but its get aborted everytime with an error
ERROR - ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CODE="0019";ERR_DYNAMIC=" SIN header verification failed";
please help
I have doubt in getting satisfaction with recent releases sony device, compared to my x10i.
Also, the reason behind this change over is due to heating and restarting issue for past few days.
Even, After back to stock rom and relocking the bootloader perfect baseband flashes. Nothing helps me to ride out of this issue.
Hopefully, i concluded that it should be a hardware issue.
So, i need to miss my x10i badly :'(
If you can please suggest me for good change over.
thankyou mates!

I've currently got a xperia T (the forgotten flagship) awesome phone with awesome hardware, I haven't looked back in regret when I updated to it.
I would recommend the xperia Z as it has better Dev support and it's new

Still using my XPERIA X10i with 64GB Class10 SanDisk(3months use), overclocked CPU with root access and 1800mAh Mugen power battery.(1 - 5days battery life)
It's now become a music/media phone with Neutron Music/XiiaLive/Video players and a mobile file server.
Syllable G18 Bluetooth headphones keep the phone sounding sweet.
Thinking how good my XPERIA X10i still is, I thought, gee, the XPERIA L must be heaps better....
Hmm... that may lose some of the sparkle when one looks a bit closer..
XPERIA L appears to only support Class 6 MicroSD cards and maybe nothing over 32GB.
USB-OTG doesn't seem to be supported from what I read.
Sony is indicating the XPERIA SP needs to be referred to service support if touch screen issues are noted, so indicates HW issuse and not something a SW patch can fix.
Have an XPERIA S and that's in a world of pain after JB upgrade, where XDA Developers will probably be left to pick up the pieces if Sony doesn't address the many voices of dismay.
Third JB update mooted for early July, so it may not all end in tears.
Sony is not at it's best at the moment with firmware updates, but I'm sure they'll want to prove us doubters wrong. :fingers-crossed:
Given the above, I may enjoy my XPERIA X10i for a while longer before it is retired.
Still have 20GB of my SDcard left to fill.... :laugh:

You may be onto something there.
I can purchase an XPERIA LT25i for approx USD350.00 which is less than what I'd paid for an XPERIA LT26i
The XPERIA V has all the 'modern' features and an S4 Snapdragon chipset with an Adreno 225
The XPERIA V also has a good chance of getting Android 4.3 as the Adreno 225 supports OpenGL ES 3.0
Pity I already have an XPERIA S. [mumbling something about JB 4.1.2]
I saw a post were some dude in Asia lost his XPERIA V at the beach in the ocean while videoing and it kept on videoing for some time after it was lost.
It was found and returned to the owner some days later after being dragged from the ocean. All still working and the under water video was on YouTube. Can't say better than that.
XPERIA i1 HONAMI ... THE NEXT YEAR
Hey guys, i am reading this forum for ages, that is why i am going to ask my question here, because I know people here know everything about theese gagets
So I bought Lg l9 II in december and everything was well until some weeks when my phone startet to lag, especcially when I multitask more hard with lets say browser, messenger nd music,but that was not a problem before.To check if I am not wrong I downloaded antutu to see what is going on, as before that I checked some videos in Youtube to see what score are people with my phone recieving.I was thrilled,the normal score was around 15k and around 23-4 fps on the 3d test and i recieved 11k and 12 fps max.I am worrying why is this happening.Please help me,thank you in advance and excuse my english.I am curiously waiting for your answers!
I forgot to mention that imediately after buying i rooted the phone, but it started to lag, so i unroted it and it got fixed till the prblem i described up there
