Hi
one of my friends want to buy Samsung Galaxy Ace... n ofcourse i recommended it, but the dealer she went to, recommended sony xperia neo V saying that there are alot of customer complaints for Ace.
I just wanted to ask, what are the known issues for ace?
i personally use Galaxy Mini and Galaxy S2 and on neither of my devices i had any issues (that were manufacturer related)
thanks!
Go for Ace. I have been using ace for about 8 months now and there are no complaints.
the only complain is the battery life but it can be redemed if u know how to save battery and with some apps
He should ask what are those complains about. I absolutely love my ace, he's still a baby with 1year old and never got sick.

If you ask this in the Xperia Forum, you'll get completely opposite answers ... Ya better check here ... and Let's be honest. Xperia Neo is way better than MY (cause I have one) lovely ACE. It has 1ghz Processor and can record at 720... But see it by yourself!
mm i dont know about others.but they are wrong go with SONY ERICSSON XPERIA NEO V
better specs dude wvga,secondary camera ,512 mb ram and 1ghz processer and best one it is planned upgrade to v4.0 awsome. but it will be costlier than ace.............
go with SONY ERICSSON XPERIA NEO V

+1 ... I wish I have some money on my pocket...
RAM is a major issue with this phone. Go for Xperia Neo V!
lol ok the answers were all mixes xD yet thank u all for replying
i totally love samsung.. infact want to work for it one day
what i heard though was ace had some signal dropping issues, which ofcourse m sure can b fixed with some upgrade (its just tht those who are totally novice and want to use a smart phone, dont really knw how to and then complaint!)
having said tht, my friend is also a novice so i think xperia neo will b good option.. jus tht its battery life SUCKS!
abt battery optimization.. (i've a youtube channel xD http://youtube.com/EdenDroidChannel)
i definitely knw how to optimize battery hehe
thank u all!!

It has to be the Neo V. Sony Ericsson have already released a beta ICS build and it is guaranteed an upgrade early next year. The Neo V is superior in every way to the Ace. Official CM support and official ICS. Better processor, better screen, more RAM and the list goes on and on....
Sent from a phone with an app.
Go for ace .
As much as I'd wish every person in this planet to buy the same phone as me (the bigger the community, the better), I have to admit that the Ace can't compete with the Neo V.
go for ace!
dude go for neo v. its not coz ace is a bad performer. when it comes to android go for hardware. neo v is ll bit costly but obviously a better choice plus its getting ics.
Go for the Neo V , it's much better

Speed and Power: If you're gonna use it stock-like, its gonna let you down. After you at least upgrade it to Gingerbread, the phone is gonna suck. Its really good afterwards. Then it depends what custom rom or scrips you want on it to make it even better.
Community: As you can see, we're here to help. But PLEASE for the love of god, GOOGLE BEFORE MAKING THREADS. We've been having problems with new noobs posting threads on every little issue they face. But as I can see, you're not new to XDA so we'll be glad to welcome you here.
Camera: The camera is awesome. 5MP and shoots 640x480 DVD quality video.
Price: It depends where you're getting it from and who you're getting it from. But from the prices I've seen it at, I can tell you its worth the money.
Get the Ace and join us!
Not trying to sound impolite but there was a few threads just like this one, they are pretty up to date. To summarize; the answer is no. Why? Since there are better alternatives.

Well, he's asking about the Ace for a reason. Otherwise, I'd recommend him to get a Galaxy S2.
He should try Xperia Mini.. Not sure about the community support for it though
if you can wait you might can get ace plus
Well, for starters, xperia mini will get official ice cream sandwich, ace will not. For me, that alone would be the reason for not buying ace. Camera is not great on either of them, though the one on ace should be better.
I'd go for the mini, or another phone, but not ace. At least wait for the plus version, that is if you must have an ace.
whats your budget?
if its big then answer is no
I wouldn't recommend Ace.
First even though 800 MHz is enough for most applications, it's A6 processor.
Internal memory is too low. Unless you tweak your phone, you can't install much apps.
RAM is also low.
No... I'm regretting my purchase now... Look for something like HTC explorer.

if u believe in above all and want mid range phone go for htc salsa because it have 800mhz+512 Mb ram and hve almost 1 day battery while regularlu use alot
wheras motrola defy also have same features and water resistable so u can make video while diving into water
both of camera quality is good
coming to galaxy ace because of its low RAM its not capable of multitasking but ya resale value is good but installing custom ROM speed is far good
it's actually a trade in for my old phone , my old w8 got spoiled alot of time in my hands..about 3 times in a month and my dad got pissed and asked for him to have a trade in ..my dad give him rm 200 while he give me a better phone ...still my budget is about RM700 pretty low ..i had a fren who have an ace but he says this phone is rubbish ..but the desgin is too darn nice its hard to pass..still i am planning to install roms on this phone if i have it ...it seems the review for tbhis phone not too good...
Its ok...The phone is outdated now though.If you have a budget,go with this one.If not,get an AcePlus or something familiar.My view,its okayish
kay..i will see
I don't recomend this phone. It never get official CyanogenMod 7,9 and official MIUI. Also it's probably never get official ICS update.
Look for something with better dovelopment background.
Get yourself a motorola defy if you like modding and all with full support...or else if you want an update of ICS officialy and hd video recording go for the Xperia Mini, all though its a ladies phone

Agreed..That few extra bucks is really worth it.Official MIUI and CyanogenMod support along with it being dust,water and...scratch proof?I forgot
No don't get an ace. It will be your worst nightmare since it is the worst phone with virtually no Samsung or xda developer support. And we do not want another f*** noob.
lolol okay no ace now...defy cost RM1xxx nearly...my dad wont allow it =(

Hi,
As subject says.
I am having right now white xperia mini pro But i am planning to buy Xperia U. Should I buy???
would u suggest to buy? if not may u would lik to tell my why
I will be really thankful if u help me, i m really confused
The only real differences are the Software and the design.
My mom got an Xperia U and it's really awesome, the only downsides are the camera (bad in darkness) and no MicroSD card slot.
The Xperia U has a very beautiful design and a camera shutter button. The One V is thin and simple but the chin is very ugly and so unneccesary.
On the software you'll have to tell yourself, I personally like the Sony UI and Sony has some great apps, but also a lot of bloatware, I've only had Xperia Phones so I haven't had a TouchWiz or Sense phone, but from what I've seen I think that Sense is really ugly EXCEPT for Sense 4 (I think the One V has Sense 4) which is actually really beautiful and ICS optimized, also the Xperia U won't get ICS for a few months but if that doesn't concern you then I recommend the Xperia U.
Here are video reviews of the UIs

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D31VMIJuMBs
I won't recommend xperia U.Personally I don't have it.My friend recently bought it and he regrets it.The main draw backs are no support of Devs(atleast for now).No ICS out of the box.Although sony promised an update we don't know when(correct me if I'm wrong)
So a better choice would be (according to me) Galaxy Nexus.It has got the best dev support.You get "instant" updates.And stock experience is what I like.So add a few bucks get Gnex.Only down side is bit a lag in 3d games but better than Xperia U.And other alternative is keep your xperia mini and get the Nexus 7 tablet if u aren't committed to a phone .
Hope I helped You.Think twice before buying

I was gonna recommend Galaxy Nexus too but it's a little more expensive.
You're right, Xperia U has a small community, but it's still pretty new and Sony Mobile isn't that big in the US, mostly sold in Sweden and Japan. Also Gingerbread SUCKS but if you're patient you can wait for ICS, and this guy just got ICS for his Xperia Mini so he's used to GB.

I think Gnex is not in India i guess, correct if i am wrong.
The phones just launched and the dev support will be there slowly i think.
Out of the Box Ics is not a importnt thing when u can get it by updating later or sooner
I already got dell streak with 5inch screen and ipad. so i guess i wont go for gnex7 tab

@Moderaters.........Please close this thread, as the problem/confusion is solved. Got me Xperia u

Well you could always hope for a direct Jelly Bean upgrade, but Sony are so lazy with skinning Jelly Bean so I wouldn't think so.
But Jelly beans on Xperia U .......eehhhhh
wen Ics update decreases the RAM then i think JB will kill it. i mean JB will be requireing alot space.
btw, any1 know eta for ics on U
Hello guys, i had sony live with walkman, but he broke.
Now, i liked xperia sola, but, on XDA xperia sola development have little custom roms, so, with the arrival of ics on sola, roms will emerge as there are on other devices? like xperia ray, live with walkman and others that have much custom roms...
sorry by my english...
In next time CM9.1 will come to our sola For sure in Future will come more Developing for the sola i think, but not as much as for the XperiaRay or the XperiaS :/ The XperiaS is widespread and the sola not, it's more a "low active" device i think but ROM's are not all! The important think is that you have a smartphone which you really like and not a smartphone with that you can change everyday to a new ROM!
And sorry for my bad English

Ok, you´re right, arriving the ICS on sola is already a great step i think... but, some good custom rom´s are also great...
Do not go for it. Buy any other brand. The development for U,P and Sola is like zero. Even after ICS i don't think there'll be any good development. Go for sAmsung device. I know they're ugly and all but the development is awesome.

Nonsense !
There is no sense in developing for GB because ICS is right behind the corner.
After getting ICS there will be plenty of ROM's ! U and P are the same phone, only differences are screen size and ram therefore every rom that comes to P can be ported to U in no time.
Samsung devices are crap in matters of build quality.

If you like it, buy it. There will be plenty of Roms.
Same happened with my Atrix. came to a NEW board and now its highly developed
Good luck !
I just got the xperia U today, awesome phone !
I own a galaxy note and yes the development in that board is astounding. With the Sola, I'd wait til ICS comes out and see if development picks up, if it's that important to you. I got a Sola as a backup device and I can tell you that I'm extremely happy with it. For my requirements, it's very reliable and cost effective. It runs games and apps flawlessly. temple run doesn't lag! Lol

Xperia U is nice, but doesn´t have micro sd slot, i put many musics, videos and games... só because that i prefer the sola...
I think I'll risk buying the xperia sola. I´m not a maniac chance rom, but, I like to put roms that improve the performance, add to quick panel, for example...
Thank you for all answers...

The last time i use a custom rom is on my x10 mini .
For me the custom rom is for those phone which cant get official update .
I don care about the fancy UI thing as you already can do it by installing launcher pro etc
The ICS on xperia P which using same chip with sola is running more than decent .
So it probably does not need any custom rom at all . At most some clean version of stock rom without bloatware .
Just my opinion .
IF...
if you want to have your phone updated as fast as it can be you should buy google backed smartphone like galaxy nexus, companies using android are not to keen on making hasty updates to already sold phones so its better to stay close to the source of android development. If i could get my money back from my Sola i would do so and then i wouldn't hesitate to save some money and buy nexus or sgs II (which used in good shape are like 20-30% more expensive). I should know to not trust Sony in making the ideal phone for me (it was, on paper..) nevertheless its a good phone but in that price range its purchase ain't reasonable IMO.
Since I started using it there were no positive surprises, just the bad ones for ex. you can't make folders in the main app menu, I can't comprehend why on home screen folders can be created, but in app menu you can not make them so with a lot of apps its one giant mess. other trivial example is the Sony's ICS rollout, which is very sluggish and as far as Sola is considered i think it might be the last major update to its firmware.
For me its 5.5/10 in terms of overall satisfaction of owning it.

why do you want to go to another phone that has a same specification? both of them use 512mb ram only and single core processor. i think it will be outdated soon.

I sold my Arc to get a Ray and so glad I did, I think it (Ray) will be the only Phone I've ever owned that I won't be selling on as it's a gorgeous little device that does everything I need, although will still be updating to a new Xperia ASAP, just not sure which, the Z is a bit big for me and if Sony stays with the current trend of releasing mini tablet sized Phones then I'll happily stick with my Ray.

Sadly, with 1ghz single core cpu, ray will never run ubuntu mobile. And also 512mb ram makes me little bit disappointed. but overall with that price , ray offer a good spec.
