Everything is great except camera and battery life.
There is no lags.

I think the camera is ok, enough to use. The battery is not too bad. And Sola will get ICS 4.0.4 this month!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

whats wrong with the camera and the battery life ?
i heard that the battery can hold up to a day and a half with medium usage and even more with light usage...
sony cameras are the best.
what is wrong ?

Battery life and camera isn't all that disappointing.. It would easily last a day if used normally(wifi on all day with background data and auto sync etc) and would last nearly half ID used heavily..
The phone is powerful, and the best if you cant spend a few extra bucks for gs2 or xperia p.. Gs2 being better..
I am having 200+ apps and still no lag or any issue..
The GPU aint very powerful. You wont enjoy HD games if you have many widgets on the home screen..
If you are into gaming, id suggest buy some phone with Adreno220 or better.. Mali-400 sucks..
The floating touch, really helpful in browsing, fun to play around and to show off among friends..
I love my phone, and would not suggest anyone not to buy one.. Its the best in its segment and i enjoy using it..
Just waiting for the ICS could be annoying.. When Jelly Bean is coming to the market..
Rest, is your choice..

Thanks !
Now I cant decide wheather to go for the Arc S or the Sola...
I now have the Atrix 4G which pretty much sucks (it could be better on JB but MOTO isnt going to release JB).
I love the ARMv7 + tegra 2 but no use on GB for a duel core device
So bottom line, Sola or Arc S ?

Dont go for arc s.. Its 2011 modeland thus is very unlikely to get JB..it has single core processor and the only benefit would be larger screen..
It was my first decision when I was buying a phone.. But i waited for sola to be released and i am really thanking my patience..

Doesn't the sola has a slightly worse camera and battery ?
I really need good battery life..
Too bad it doesnt have a front-facing cam, what a shame !
P.s the Sola doesn't have ICS yet and the Arc does. there are plenty of JB roms out there as far as i know...i love both devices but cant decide :<

Go for Sola.It has dual core CPU, and Mali 400.
Its very fluid to use.I do like Sola,but not the battery life.
By constant usage, I mean continuous 3g usage(not background) or gaming.
Sola will get ICS this month.

Go for SOLA mannnnnnnn!!!! But BEWARE! Battery problems await!!!!!
Ps: The GPU for Sola is Mali400, not Mali400MP4 like in the Galaxy S2, this means Sola's GPU only have 1 core, the S2 has 4 cores. But SOLA's still better than the iPhone 4 and 3GS's Powervr SGX 535.
Besides, everything's great. Cameraa is not so gud but, what are instagram or Photoshop for, rite! )

No front facing camera
Sorry for so many q's but now i am thinking to get the U maybe...I hear that it's build quality is better and it has a front facing cam + smaller screen = better battery life, am i correct ?

Same battery bro. Maybe worse. On the gsmarena site, they say that the U has a 1305 mAh battery while Sola's is 1320

which one is better preformance wise and build quality ? isnt it hard to type fast on the U ?

The Performance is same with Xperia Sola, The build quality?? hmmm dont ask again! Sony is the best quality
Typing is a bit hard, but if u use Go Keyboard you can type easier. Xperia U is also NXT Series
Floating Touch is only inch's range between finger and screen.
So the conclusion, both phone (xperia u and xperia sola) have "his" pros and cons.

Don't buy U.. Small screen, No Card Slot, looks like a baby of Xperia S that came out before it was meant to.. And etc.. And Sola doesn't belong to any series.. NXT is just S,P,U..

advice about bootloader/overclock

I want unlock bootloader on my ray mostly because of overclock and now wont to now how much is really performance improvement with overclock, in other words does it pay of the risk of loosing warranty?
thx
Unlock bootloader and overclock only if you aren't satisfied with your current performance ... It surely sounds sweet but You will surely void your warranty by overclocking.... If you are a new bie then I don't recommend overclocking because you may brick your device or worst burn your CPU... It is must to have enough basic android experience such as rooting first.
Sent from my WT19i using xda app-developers app
I am not new i have ray half year now and i was have x8 for 1 year before ray and it was have unlock bootloader, custom kernel, overclock and many other mods, i know android pretty well, i just want to ask someone who overclocked ray is he sadisfied with performance and does it worth
Okay so go ahead ... I don't have ray but walkman .. I've overclocked it and its worth it...
Sent from my WT19i using xda app-developers app
If u unlock ur bootloader it will void ur warranty. It will be good if u overclock it, like others say.
I've seen some reports about ppl burning their phones because of OC....
I would not really recommend it. 1GHz is enough for your phone being smooth.
But if you must OC it, be careful and don't overdo it. Don't OC to like 1.6GHz - 1.8GHz like some sorry dumbasses do.
After all It's better to have a working phone then a burned one
I'm not trying to be a smartass here, just trying to make you think twice before doing it
According to my experience 100mhz =+2 max fps u can use supercharger v6,built.prop n init.d tweaks these won't affect your phone's life

Yeah, already did all of that
Ive seen a guy in antutu. He is using stock 2.3.4 oc=2.0gGhz he got 6000+ score!! That's half of galaxy s3 running on stock
Sent from my LT15i using xda app-developers app
you can relock bootloader
i'm on 1.6 GHz on JellyBean on xperia mini and it is stable
I clocked my phone to 1.5Ghz and this is more than perfect. I don't have fps issues in games anymore (at least those I've played yet) and the phone doesn't seem to be too hot. It feels more like charging the battery, so I think there's no problem.
What abt nova 3 multiplayer??

It consumes more battery to gain more performance. Set it to higher if u want to play big games. But it will drain battery more

i actually think that the ui of sxs is amazing.. this is the only reason i kept my stock rom rather than cm9 and i now have ka sspeed from krabappel! if u can keep the ui and make tweaks for a much longer battery life and better ram usage it would be amazing!
thanks in advance if u are about to start sth
Gonna start actually doibg sone stuff in a week or two (school ).Anyway i think the UI also s pretty good and the SXS is smooth and fast.Although you are rught about battery,it could last longer...
Sent from my LT26i using xda premium
I would want Xperia ArcS's UI on SXS rather.
And the battery life as well.
Stragenly, everything else is fine with me
Idk i watched SXS and Arc S both and personally i think that UI from ArcS is better,but yet i think it looks better on the Arc S don't really know how would it look like on SXS...

it could last longer but not as much as other phones with same specs! it lasts about 20 hours now when i installed greenpower and i have ka sspeed! but the stock one used to have a very terrible battery life! and comparing to cm9 even ka sspeed have bad battery life.. so ur plan should be starting on cm9 or aokp and working on its ui ! i guess

SXS's UI is much more beautiful than the arc S in my opinion!! i actually think that SXS's UI is the most beautiful UI on android recently!
Oh and good luck with ur school!
A ROM with the AOKP and Paranoid features together would make it perfect.

Xperia u on ics

Hi! I want to know if ics is good on XU for games and stuff and stability and smoothness, because my friend got one and don't know if he keeps it or sells it. Pls help thznk you in advance
Sent from my LT22i using xda premium
Hey mate,
Yes, the Xperia U is good in ICS Performance is not bad but most importantly, the features over GB are what makes the upgrade worth it Its a good phone and Developer Activity is good and if you want even faster speeds, Check out some of the custom roms available here

Although not as good as, its nearly the same though So if Performance is your major concern and features dont matter, stay with GB. Else update

I have xt910 and my roommate have s2 i9100 , there are some comparison and suggestions for you :
1. S2's sreen is super amoled with RGB array , but razr's screen is pentile ,so in my experience S2 has the better performance in display.
2. My roommate says S2's camera is better than RAZR , I seldom take picture so I have no comment.
3. Razr's audio performance is very awesome ! Almost top of all android phone I think.
By the way , Razr have wonderful recovery "BMM" which provide six rom slots ! If you like flash new custom rom you'll enjoy it !
Well, im a music lover, but i love to take photo too. Screen is not a problem for me. Very2 confuse here.....
