[Q] Wich phone is better? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

A friend of mine is looking forward to buy a new phone and he is between the Xperia Play and Xperia U. His choices are the same has mine were when I bought Play last month. I know U has a better processor and screen quality but I wanted a cheap phone with a big screen and good for gaming. I'm very happy with my choice.
Which one his the best in your opinion?
Another related question: does the U have nfc, hdmi port and sd card support?

Why don't u ask google to answer your second question...

I'm getting bored of my phone... what do you recommend?

I've been getting bored with my phone, not because its a older phone now but it just doesn't have that fun factor it had when I first got it.
Are there any new apps that make your phone exciting? I find myself doing the same thing over and over, go into the 9gag app look at memes, read the news a bit, go on xda, text etc.
Get an android tablet and root it. Thats what I did after getting tired of messing with this phone.

I always keep looking for random games. Sometimes go back for old ones and replay haha. Glad there's still development going on for this phone. Trying to hold out for that gs3
Glad to see xrider and mrrobc still hanging in the vibrant forums. But honestly no matter what device you use you will get bored of it eventually. I have 6 devices most do the same thing.
However what I enjoy is HDMI my fave games like mc3 to my bigscreen with surround sound. To me its way more challenging to any console I've played.

I bought a transformern too. Prime is full of bugs with crappy GPS and wifi (you have to be nearly sitting on top of your router) and ICS is extremely buggy. The Prime was nothing more than ASUS getting the Tegra3 chip out before anyone else, but with massive sacrifices.
Manus - PMe me when you get yours and I will get you some link to rooting and recovery. There are 3 different ways depending on your build number.

Just put ICS on my vibrant which will hopefully keep it interesting until I can upgrade in a few months. Also got a Kindle Fire that i'm messing with.
I just picked up a galaxy s 2 instead of making a thread id like to say goodbye to all of you great devs (xrider ,alan ,and s1 ) for the great run. Hope to see you guys someday.

How about an obscure body in the S-K System? You can play with it awhile...before annihilation.
@ woodrube thanks man no doubt I saw that a lot of people said the original was better than the prime and I was able to get the 32 gb version for 399 on best buy.

ICS has really brought new life to my phone.. I like showing off the features to friends who have just upgraded to newer phones

just got a new prime 2 days ago and updated it to the official Asus ICS and about 3 hours ago this thing has gone into a reboot frenzy major deal breaker!I read theres another Asus update fix this week.If it doesn't help I'm paying bestbuy a little visit
You could flash MIUI, which has tons of themes avadible. Plus if you dont like having any launcher, you could just install one from the market.

7510 is the wifi model. Run to the developmemt thread and flash galaxy task14
Get Visidon from the market for face unlock
Get Camera ICS+ to get panorama photo capability
Get Veetle for your movie viewing enjoyment
And that concludes my 2 cents

Ditto on the Task 14.
Pershoots latest kernel, setcpu, V6 super charger, everything else you should come across on your own using the threads to get what I suggested.
Best of luck in your endeavor.
Other than that I have nothing to suggest

Good thread. I am looking to buy a tablet and the Samsung 7510 is on sale today. Thought about getting the Acer, but does not look like much development is going on over there. PLUS, with Samsung, I get the amoled screen
Been flashing my Vibrant, then Galaxy S2, and finding some great ROMS along the way. I only hope there are some great ROMS for the 7510.

Like I said in your previous thread buddy You need the tegra2 plugin to make proper use of the core's since by default it feel's rushed?

Advise for Selecting Phone!

Can someone help me getting the best phone under 17,000 INR with good rom development support by xda developers ?
I have just come across Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo V. Is there some other phone that suites my budget ?

As per my issue I would Luke to inform you to make a checklist about your needs and try to match on gsmarena with your checklist. I hope you will find your best one.
Another thing is no device are fully compiled for all sort of needs like surfing, gaming, music, video etc. Every device has its own pros & cons, you will find these over gsmarena too.
Please update us about your needs and your selection. So that this thread will be helpful for other's whone looking for it.

Large screen is not that important for me. Good battery, yes. I would prefer sense but with my requirements, it doesn't fit my budget.
My requirements:
GPU for HD Games
Camera 5MP or above
Screen resolution should be good
At least 1 Ghz processor
And some other basic needs that now a days are fullfilled on almost all the handsets. Oops and also xda support/development of tons should be good.
For the above specs, I found Neo V to be beneficial. Any other suggestions ?

I don't really know how much your budget is since my currency is the Euro but for your requirements (mine were pretty much the same) I would buy Xperia Play (if you're really into gamming). I also considered Neo V but I wanted a bigger screen and the physical controls are really awesome. Neo V is around 160€ in my country and I bought Play for 200€, not that much difference.
I'd recommend a galaxy S. Strong gpu beautiful screen flash and good rom development..

****.. now I'm really confused between these three phones:
HTC One V - doesn't have front camera
Sony Ericsson Neo V - less internal space and a bit old
Samsung Galaxy S - less ROM
Above phones have its cons. I'm from India and here, 3G is not yet fully established. It might take almost a year or 2 for it to get established fully.

Don't buy the galaxy s. Its a nice phone but very old and Samsung has stopped supporting it. You're better off with the Sony or HTC phone that you've mentioned.
Ps.Sony phone gets official ics.

Neo V has CM9 support from FXP Team and also we (TeamXperia) ported AOKP to it so its handy
One V would be the best choice if you are looking for a newer phone
All depends on price, if they are similar price then go for one V

Do your research on the phones available to you and make up your own mind. Never and I mean never get a phone based on how many Developers the phone has because you will be disappointed when the next best device comes out and the Devs move devices as they tend to do.
In closing make up your own mind

[Q] openion abt xperia tipo

Guys im in the thought of purchasing xperia tipo to my girlfriend
B4 that I need to know something about it can you tell me the negatives in it ....???
Also positives...
Well tipo has Xloud tm experience which allows it to play music at very loud volumes and enhances the quality of the speakers. Tipo scored very high in Antutu so if your gf is in gaming then I'll recommend it. The bandwidth and upload speed is also quite good. Plus it is a budget phone. The build design of Tipo is beautiful and many reviews has given it full stars for it's build quality. Also it is very light and easy to hold. The only negative is its small screen size. But you can solve that by buying miro.

What do u think abt Motorola fire xt
Sent from my MT11i using xda app-developers app
Yes it is good too . But the most reviews I have read , it is a fail mobile. Motorola fire xt is thicker than tipo considering the mobile is from Motorola which creates very thin mobiles. In a video review I saw that it takes very long time to boot load. Also there were many problems with the touch screen. The sound quality isnt that great either. The internet is same as tipo considering if you're using the same WiFi. But I think your gf wouldn't so much in hifi technology, so yeah you can buy her this phone taking into account that the screen is 3.5inches.
PS have you tried htc explorer.

Buying without a bill ??? then the best answer is don't buy .
No way of returning if faulty or getting Samsung warranty .
