Does anyone know if Sony is coming up with Xperia Active 2? I mean after sony brokeup with ericsson.
Are there any rumors that I might not be aware of?
Because I am planning to buy Xperia Active in a month or so. So should I go buy it or wait up?
Also one quick question: Does motoactv work with xperia active?
You can check Sony Developers blog sometimes, new phones are usually announced there.
And I haven't heard anything about Active 2.
Xperia Active is very recent so I guess nothing new is coming. And in case it did, Sony would have announced it by now along with Xperia S, P and the other one with the strange screen.

Sony might announce new phone(s) any time.
The active was along the same lines as st15 and sk17. A mini. Since sony hasnt rumored anytging and since its a new device, its highly unlikely... The only company that does these shenanigans is motorola. They released the defy+ mid october, and now they are releasing a new rugged one... Go figure...

I have had the S for a couple of days and I love it solid feel screen is awesome stable n fast even though currently it is on GB.
Nothing actually says Hayabusa will be a flagship, it may be a tablet. Nobody knows...

Is LTE live in Singapore ? Because the Hayabusa will most probably have a larger screen and bigger cpu. The cycle will continue once Hayabusa there will be another one that's got better specs round the corner.
You seem to be having doubts about this phone which is why you have two threads about the same thing. If you are doubting yourself as to which phone you should buy, then just wait and dont jump into anything. That said, if you wait 1 month there probably will be a new "Top of the line phone" and then you will be back to square one.
Yes, no or maybe
Moderator Edit
Some members seem to feel we the moderators have been some what heavy handed in our dealing with these types of threads so I have decided I will reopen this thread for discusion I emphasize DUSCUSION. I expect people to remain civil with each other. If anyone starts flaming other members or this turns into a SONY SUCKS COES I GOTZ NO JB we will shut it down in a heartbeat.

with my heart yes, but with my head NO.
so I guess i'm begging to be a guy with a " head on his shoulders"
Maybe...
I really like the Sony hardware, but the slow update cycles (Jellybean March 2013 - Really?) are making we regret buying the Xperia S. I am seriously thinking of selling it and buying a Nexus 4 instead.
The only thing that might change that decision right now, is an official ASOP Jellybean release by Sony/Google. However the ASOP tree looks dead, with no activity for ages.
Thinking that Sony have thrown in the towel with the XPeria S.
Only if it is a Sony Nexus device as it would probably be the best looking device with fastest and most up to date software.

That's life. Xperia U is an entry level phone, it was released with Gingerbread, and got an ICS update. Show me another manufacturer that bothers to update the base OS on their entry level phones.
I dun consider a phone priced at 16000 to b entry level
Its a mid range
And it was released in may 2012 when all other major manufacturers were shipping wid ics on board
So getting released wid 2.3 was a negative aspect of SONY as this phone was considered to b a NXT phone
So ics was mandatory for it
Bt it got just a single official update ( which logically it should have been shipped wod)
U can call galaxy mini, htc explorer, sony xperia tipo to b entry level as they are priced below 10000INR
@the admins,
When I can't have my Sony love thread due to possible flaming then this thread might not be a good idea either.
@the thread,
My heart is with Sony. My ICS is perfect and when I get JB in the same quality I will buy again.
Another important point for me stays the support of CM. actually that's more important to me than official JB.
Sent from my LT22i using xda app-developers app
No. This phone has good ideas, but fails in the execution.
ICS for Sola in September 2012. Really? When I brought a new phone, I expected an upgrade, or at least ICS --> ICS. Not ICS --> GB.
Floating touch is, again, a good idea. But it is fairly useless and is impossible to type with.
Given the price of the Nexus 4, not a chance of me buying Sony again.

Yes, how much will it cost?
"The 8GB version (unlocked) is priced at $299, while the 16GB version is $349. T-Mobile USA will carry the 16GB LG Nexus 4, though with a price of $199 and a 2-year contract, it doesn't sound like much of a deal.
"
Not a chance. I told myself the same thing after my X10 but was foolishly drawn in by the XS (no patience). I will never buy another Sony phone again. Apart from the awful update cycle this phone has become utterly boring and ICS has made it very buggy. You should be able to get £150-200 for this phone so only pay ~£100 on top for the 16Gb Nexus. Can't wait!
Sony always stays a generation behind.
When others release quad core phones it releases dual core.

only if they start sticking bigger batteries on their phones.
Sony used to pride itself on battery performance on their portable devices in the 90s, now their phones can hardly match the Battery longevity of a cheapo Chinese brand phone.
They also need to do something about their updates, the galaxy s3 and HTC one x both launched after the s and both are already officially running jelly bean.
They should release 1 or 2 flagships per year and put all their resources to make sure they are kept up to date for at least 1.5 years with no delays pushing out updates.
I think I might get the n4 and see if Sony get their shtt together before supporting them again.

I was being conservative, it may be later.
The 2012 phones are all still 6 months away from getting Jellybean on them, according to Sony.
For now, AOKP on my S is fine but as soon as the Nexus 4 lands here in Germany, I'll leave Sony for good.
Hey,
I am using xda-developers now since more than 10 years. Got thousands of answers for bricked XDA`s and other smartphones in the beginning. I own a GSM technology company so I am always getting in touch with the newest and best devices. I were looking for powerful smartphones, but tiny please, that it will fit in my hands and pocket since the first day of the modern smartphone. I used exotic phones like the Neonode N1 who fulfilled my wishes, but I finally felt in love with 2011 Xperia MDPI phones. Since this day, I am using this subforums at XDA daily and changing my ROM on my Mango several times a week.
The Mango is perfect for me! It’s tiny, so it will not bother me if I am outdoors, it fits in my hands and pants, so I can wear it everywhere, without having a 6” brick with me. It haves a full keyboard – I still don’t like Touchscreen solutions for typing dozens of mails per day. And last but not least, it’s still a powerful android smartphone.
At the beginning of this year, I felt the first time, that the time for Xperia 2011 phones is over, since Apps like Facebook getting really hungry for RAM but all you great developer made a step forward again with 4.2.2- unbelievable…
2011 Xperia are out of the market now, to avoid mine is getting broken, so I finally need to change to a boring S4 Galaxy, I bought a lot of Xperias and spare parts now, so I am on the safe side for lifetime
I own now:
1x Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro – custom ICS
1x Sony Ericsson Xperia mini Pro white- full stock ICS
1x Sony Ericsson Xperia mini Pro black- extended CM10
1x Sony Ericsson Xperia mini Pro white- HavenDroid XS CM10.1
1x Sony Ericsson Xperia mini white- JellyVanilla EX3.1 CM10.1
I am telling you this story to say people who are addicted in a same way: you are not alone and to say a big THANKYOU to all of the awesome developers out there…
seems legit! lol, i wish i had money to buy spare phones like you do. and youre a certified Xperia MDPI addict now. :highfive:

Hello,
I sold my Xperia after some time and I can tell you the Bravia Engine and little customisation from Sony is great. The feel of phone in your hand is also good. Also, the xperia U/P/Go/Sola/ other devices are very good gadgets and they have enough support from developers.The LED bar in Xperia U is truely awesome and it could change colours just made it epic. If you are go for looks and beauty, certainly these devices are for you. Performance is good usually but not good enough in some case. (the price is not too high)
What are the factors that disappoint you ?
I will tell you mine what I can think of:
*Usually no expandable memory and in some case, battery is fixed.
*Bugs in ICS with no real support from Sony on these devices
*Bad battery life although I turned off the LED bar and used it with zero brightness. Still couldnot last more than a day on average use.
*My charger started to take long time to charge and it was quicker to charge via USB cable. In the beginning the charge time was epic. Just about an hour to charge it fully.
*NO SUPPORT FROM SONY AND UPDATES COME VERY VERY LATE AND DEVICES ARE ONLY SUPPORTED FOR MONTHS.
*NOT REAL LOUD SOUND
UPDATE :
I bought another Xperia
You forgot Xperia sola
Because of ICS laggy update, no support of Sony, no jelly bean update for Sony xperia u and poor service
im currently using xperia sola for about a year. ive tried a couple other xperia phones '12 like u, p, s, j and sony didnt good that much of a work. this mid price range devices dont have great potential (using sony's stock os). that unfortunate thing is that if you want to make your devices OK you have to do lots of stuff(root unlock bl etc etc you get the idea). but most of the people dont know about xda-flashing rom etc.they just stay at gb or stock ics and complain,or choose to buy a more mainstream devices and this results to not jave that great potential from xperia mid price range device community.
Sorry for my bad english. :angel:
No, I have all my phones still
Ericsson T68m
2x Sony Ericsson T68i (one brand new in box)
2x Sony Ericsson T230
Sony Ericsson T610
Sony Ericsson T630
Sony Ericsson K510
2x Sony Ericsson W810 (Black + White)
Sony Ericsson C905
Sony Ericsson Elm (J10i2).
Did have another T230 and two K550's but lost track of them).
I hate my Xperia U, performance sucks (on stock and CM9), if I see a good deal I'll replace it, but still wouldn't sell the U.
I would sell Xperia U because of inadequate RAM and unavailability of separate recovery partition.
I'd be lucky to get anything for an Xperia P, after having this device a year I hate it, looking forward to a new phone at the end of this month, probably won't be a Sony due to my Xperia p experience

I am so regretful for having sold my xperia active. Now I have an Xperia Go, is not as powerful as I wish but it is ok. I change my rom once in a while and I am so happy with it.
I was so scared to unlock the bootloader of my X.Active and never did. I guess if I had, I still would have my old phone and never bought another one. Bricking and unbricking your phone and change roms from XDA devs is so funny that you will forget about all the new phones coming out every day.
as for myself, maybe i'd only sell my X-Sola if it's decommissioned, forced to retire, or got a rival phone in my pocket.. it's quite great actually, after tampering with it a lot of customization..
overall, i'm lucky to choose this one..

In a way I regret selling it as i didnot want to spend too much on a phone now so I bought HTC Incredible S which I changed to HTC chacha. I am not happy with both either but atleast the small screen on my HTC chacha doesnot distract me too much from playing games, reading forums, news etc. The main reason I sold it was that I couldnot concentrate much on anything really. Just me and my phone. I am not sure what will happen when I get the New nexus 7

TRUE, I just hate that they didnot update it to JB when they could. They talked about the hardware support on NovaThor but I guess they could have ported JB easily on all devices which were only few months old.

I agree. Xda is amazing. Really I have found so many helpful developers who are working on it without really getting paid. You should always be thankful to developers and those who are helping you out. Trust me, I find almost everything here. I usually do not need to programme at all to do whatever I want to do with my device. Thanks Xda

To be honest really, the devices are monsters. Many of the apps that are written wouldnot work with your device in google play, I have managed to play them really smooth. However, I have noticed that some games/apps won't work on ICS latest build but run very smoothly on GB and Custom roms. I guess ICS was complete failure in terms of its potential.

Well, ram is an issue. If Xperia U had 1 Gb ram and Sd card, this device would be epic but manufacturers always keep something to themselves so a person changes his phone often and they get more profit

I agree, I am also thinking of not going for Sony for atleast next 3 to 5 years looking at my experience. I prefer Nexus more with more freedom. HTC on the other hand is more complicated to unlock, Root, Get S off etc before you can flash roms. Plus, it is a pain to flash official Stock Rom for HTC which was much easier with Sony. So for the moment, these both companies are out of my league!

I remember rooting and unlocking my first device. I was scared and only think I had in my mind were thoughts of it getting bricked, damaged, burnt, short circuited and what not. Tell you from experience, for all the years I am doing it, I had so many bricks and every device came back to life in the end. However, I am yet to see a hardware issue!
Yeah definitely thinking of an android vanilla device, HTC comes with way to much crap and is not fun to root.

well i think that everyone would get a better devices for a little small amount of money.for instance i bought sola for 280 euros and that price was the same month that it came on market.now xperia sola cost 160-180 tops and with 300 euros now i would get htc dezire x. which is a pretty good phone.my point is that sony is awful and maybe ill never get a sony phone again:angel:

Well, if you wait a bit more and you will get nexus 4 for around 320 Euros or less or maybe even Galaxy S3.
It is always like that. Once the technology gets older, its price drops really quickly. Just think how much Nokia E72 costs now ?

nexus 4 already is 320 euros.my point is that if u wait a little bit longer and still use an old device you can get a better one.and also you may get caught like me and think that the device you pick was the best casue.companies first release mid range devices and not the biggest ones..and i was a fool to believe that sola, u, p with the exeption of acro s that they where good...
you forgot to write down sola ?
To less RAM
I would sell it because the Sola has to less Ram for smooth using, and the Display is to small for me :/

Why root is so nice, don't have to wait for VZW, just have to wait for a developer to finish a build from the source code. :good:
I can't root the verizon Xperia z3v though, at least that's what I thought I gathered from everyone else in the threads.

I would take a guess at beginning of May 2015 for the Lollipop update
After going from 4.4 to 5 on my S5 Im not sure 5 was a life changing upgrade for the better. Im not sure how much Better its going to make this device. It didnt make my S5 better but it did annoy me enough to jump ship to this device. So I guess it was life changing enough Not sure I will accept the 5.0 when its offered until I see reviews from you guys here.
If "Xperia Z3 Dual" refers to both the Z3 and Z3v, then maybe next week?!?
http://www.itechpost.com/articles/1...op-announced-for-more-sony-xperia-devices.htm
The company had already announced that the Xperia Z2 and Xperia Z2 Tablet were set to get the update soon, and it has now revealed that the Xperia Z3 Dual, Xperia Z1, Xperia Z1 Compact, and Xperia Z Ultra will receive Android 5.0 Lollipop sometime next week. The Sony Xperia T2 Ultra and Xperia C3 will follow after that, but no specific rollout dates are available at this point. Nevertheless, it's always good news to see more devices on track to get a software treat.

The Xperia Z3 dual is an entirely separate handset itself. It's called the Dual because it can carry two Sim cards at once for convenience.
I got my Z3 Tablet Compact in the mail and it's already ready to be updates to lollipop. Haven't done it yet since I want to play around with it first. I also am starting to believe the earlier poster about not seeing the update till May. Only reason I'd say so is mainly because of Verizon. They're not supporting the device at all since they want to just push Samsung, HTC, and their own Droid Turbo first. They're also selling the Z3v too cheap at 99 cents on a new two year contract while still selling their Galaxy S5 at $150.
With the Z3v compared to the S6, S6 Edge, and M9, we still have much better battery life and we still have comparable premium specs. Droid Turbo is just thick and generic looking but that battery life is taken from the Z3. I just think Verizon maybe wanted the lesser version of the Xperia so they just can't advertise two 2 day lasting phones.
