Will give it a try thanks After playing around with the phone for several hours I can say it is really a beast thats worth the money, haven't tried the waterproof feature yet as it has open ports like the mini usb so I am bit scared to wet the phone on purpose but the IR works like a charm with my ac, need to find a new app though cause the one supplied with the phone is in chinese :s
huge step from my galaxy s i9000 which was running terribly slow

I got mine off ebay for a little less than 250EUR and shipping did not take very long
@Rikku
Please update us if you were able to make it work!
I tried myself and it didn't
Thanks!
i also bought it from ebay and then discovered that seller " prospectivesalesman " is pandawill.com
well i got it yesterday mini review : couldnt find the remote control app until now . it works fine and u can guess what chinese words mean by try and error method i ll try one by one other IR apps i find , most for HTC ONE or GALAXY S 4 though . i think and hope stock app will be translated to english when update comes. i can confirm waterproof works . just make sure that both 3.5 jack and back cover are well closed - no gaps. micro usb is water resistant so dont worry . then u can blow air in micro usb port so that drops of water come out and u can charge it. screen works with wet fingers confirmed design wise , beautiful , great screen , angles and under sunlight with no problems. fast and responsive . camera not perfect but preety good . could detect like 6 heads-persons warm colors , terrible digital zoom , and zoom after shoot u loose much detail . its real 13.1 , and good for low light (bsi) , great video (dont zoom while u shoot video or it seems like earthquake ) . led flash bright enough . trying to use browser with my H+ 3G data is a pain in the ass ... it seems my phone preferes wi-fi . something about proxy and veryfication errors problems ... anyone can help? i can use 3g with apps like weather update or facebook but not browser ! i ll try more browsers than just stock. a problem can be battery drain as well K3V2E with A9 architecture is hungry . im really pleased all in all . as for root http://www.needrom.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/HUAWEI_Honor3_HN3-U01.7z try this rom , the old one, u can find it at needrom site if links not allowed. i think its rooted . i flashed the updated that its not rooted , 2 new apps , 360mobilesafe and AirSharing Cast , and new battery icon with % and everything else seems the same . it says Gapps include – No rooted – Multilang BUT no gapps and just english+chinese like original rom. solution for gapps , install latest android market - google play apk , then u can log in your google account , download youtube and gmail . contacts synch is a problem , i restored them using a backup . u can use another app instead of stock that can synch with google. so to sum up
built quality 10/10
design 9/10
camera 8/10
battery 5/10
Display 10/10
sound 10/10 loud and clear. Earphones-speaker[dts!]-mic all perfect

edit: chrome works fine with H+ data. I think firefox and UC Browser dont they need wifi
edit 2 : ok Authentication via proxy server was unsuccessful error , solved by deleting "proxy" field on my mobile network - access point settings i left it empty instead of 10.10.10.10 it also seems battery improves with every charge
Ps don't use speaker while fully underwater let's say don't listen to music in the sea without earphones
worth the money , it seems more like a 450 dollars phone , not 330 one
New OTA Firmware update (third so far i confirm better battery , less drain and better sound quality with earphones , more bass)
a waterproof test here at: http://youtu.be/mMnUhIWPlys
new update as for 11/26/13 , now im at B118SP01 :
better camera , no more mess with homescreen-launcher and double ,over lapped icons , a tip about waterproof feature
B119 no idea what fixes
I agree, awesome phone. Latest firmware seems what unstable though. I hope they release android 4.3 or 4.4 soon.
My network is not being registered. MIUI is still not out. Is there any other custom rom? Or anyway to change country/network which shows CN now.
Got this phone of geekbuying for 254€
Must say it's a great phone.
some things that bothered me so far:
- battery performance (less than a day on average use)
- the remote IR app is completly in chinese
but i can confirm it's waterproof, i took a shower with it
just rooted it... and wondering what else i could do to improve the battery?
L.
Same here. Battery is the same as the one in my previously owned Honor 2 but seems to drain faster on this phone...

After months of usage, I can confirm! never tested its fully waterproof function except in a little bit of rain and its is also scratch proof. Drooped my phone a couple of time, I don't have any covers and still no scratches on the back or on the screen.
Excellent phone. The only thing I don't really like is IR application is in Chinese and there is not English version yet (although I managed to get my tv, surround and ac to work with trail and error).

Hello,
I was very disappointed on sony since their official lollipop release, check it here https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-Z-Ultra/sony-z-ultra-5-0-update-bugs/m-p/970604#U970604
And, begging for small devs to find why the device, when using a custom rom, has a very small, low, volume recording while recording with the camera app, snapchat, and, even shazam cannot recognize the sound because it's very low.
And, there's a second issue, we need to port the camera app from Kit Kat to CM12, because the camera app that they has released lags a lot...
I bet that for developpers, or even regular people that knows what to do could easily do something... This is just to edit some letters or words in a file or some files for the sound, and the camera port, it's just to create something but I don't know how...
Do you think that would work ?

Should I get an iPhone 6 Plus ?
Because I hate every stock rom from sony, and, I hate every cyanogenmod based rom because they don't work for audio capture and audio reproduction.
That's a shame. (it's ain't even hard to allow a decent recording volume for the device, I don't understand why they don't work on this).
I used to hate acer for their liquid mini (E310) that lagged as hell, then I got the Galaxy Note GT-N7000, it was so laggy on stock, couldn't even draw anything in a online game, I could only use the kernel for CyanogenMod 11 that I was able to overclock to get a decent fluidity... Now I have this Z Ultra that nobody works on it
the worst part of this issue is to not be able to record a song with shazam

IPhone would be a fine choice. I quite like iOS.
I get the feeling that you'll find something to hate about any phone that you have.
I've never used Shazam so im afraid that i struggle to empathise.

Hi all
I'm sorry xerox but after hard playing on asphalt 8, i get this result.
And your result is take when the CPU is tested with a stress test, not in real utilisation.
So keep the alpha
Its up to you. I've had all the Sony line up (ive had pretty much all Android flagships except the Alpha, which I just bought last week). The Sony will heat up and after use for 4-6 months beit from charging overnight or playing games and the back will become loose meaning it is not waterproof. the phone will still work though so that's up to you. I just did not like the loose back which Sony have only fixed on the Z5. Another thing is if you do wear skinny jeans the phone does start to creak after a while after being under stress from you moving around.
I love my little Alpha and build quality is brill. Both phones are really snappy but I prefer developing stuff for Samsungs with Exy chips.
This is all from experience and not someone who hasn't tried the phone. I do like the Sonys though and have development quite a few ROMs for them

Hello thx for the opinion. I need to ask in terms of performance , camera, and th and build quality screen etc you still preffer Alpha?
The display on the alpha is an amoled type which is good for viewing under sunlight and in normal place i think it produced unreal color(I always switch to basic mode) but the Z3 has an Ips display which is not really good under sunlight but in normal place i think the color is pretty decent(Prefer the z3).The performance of the snapdragon 801 is better than the exynos on the alpha(prefer the z3).The camera on both is pretty decent and can capture 4k video(prefer the z3).Both have a 32gb internal memory but the z3 has an expandable memory card(prefer the alpha 32gb is enough for me).The alpha use touchwiz which has full of bloatware and it use alot of ram,the z3 use sony UI which has very little bloatware and lighter than touchwiz (prefer CyanogenMod). Dev support for the alpha is suck because it use exynos processor (no driver plus not alot of dev use the alpha) and the z3 has tons of roms to flash beside there are alot of dev keep developing a rom for that device .Both probably get an official android marshmallow update from their manufacturer.For the design I prefer the Alpha design(Cus I've use the Z1 compact before and the design on the z3 is pretty much the same).The Alpha has fingerprint sensor the Z3 doesnt,the z3 is waterproof the alpha doesnt.Decided by your self

Hi
For me the Alpha is in the best 2014 phones.
Good photos,
VERY VERY GOOD performance with his octo core Exynos 5430 processor ( For me Exynos 5430 is besser than S801 )
The screen is very good for a 720p and the built quality is excellent, no cracks or shocks after one year.
You can make your choice

I'd suggest going to the store and playing around with it a while with the live demo phones.

i am from Israel - i will buy the Orange version that comes with the Radio
A recent convert here!
I have to be honest, my main incentive to upgrade was the 200GB microsd promo, which I'm loving at the moment.
Other than that, I would say that you would get roughly the same experience with the V10. There are some really annoying quirks like the random bluetooth issues, or the fingerprint issue with the case. But overall, it's a great device.
I do really like the second screen experience, can't wait till we are able to customize it even more with custom ROMs.
and oh, standard 64GB internal ROM is GREAT.
How works the FM radio ? Is it working on Steteo too ?
I had a note 4 Prior to my nexus 6. Note 4 is a good phone, I just never used the Stylus and cant stand Sammy bloatware. The V10 Is my favorite phone to date.

The best part was giving AT&T the finger and switching to TMO where you can customize your phone.

I came from a note 4. I usually upgrade every year and both phone while fast, the v10 appealed to me in the same way my note 4 did. Speed wise my maps no longer has gps issues and my recent apps is much smoother. I do love the pen but in return you get a 2nd screen which is quite useful.
An example: I am in phone conferences for a chunk of the day and leave it on mute. When someone calls on me to speak and I have my maps on the current screen, in a panic I look for the dialer app. Not anymore, the 2nd screen instantly takes me to the dialer which is an awesome feature for me! Also the audio quality is excellent out of the headphone jack and it still has an ir blaster. Not many other phones have this many features!
So yes, compared to the note 5 which is missing an SD card battery ir blaster and a company that gives a darn about their roots, the LG v10 is the next in line.
On a side note, Samsung is considering an SD card in their s7 so the next note may be some good competition but I need 2 batteries, this dies around 1pm with my heavy use.

From someone who actively change between the Note 4 and LG V10, I will say the the biggest drawback is the battery on V10 is extremely lacking compared to my Note 4. The speed and fluidity I have to give to LG due to a lighter UI as opposed to TW. I would never get rid of either because there are days I hate the V10 and vice versa. Its situational based over anything else

Just dropped my Note 4 for this. I'm an AT&T user on the Tmobile variant. Right now I have no LTE. Once that is figured out this phone will be a lot better.
Note 4: Better battery life for me especially with kit Kat versus lollipo, better screen Blacks, better Bluetooth connectivity, better development community (FireKat and Cm12.1), spen is cool, for me the button placement is better (I'm not the biggest rear button fan) on the V10, better speaker phone, ODIN full wipes, better build quality, for me the s6 keyboard port is the best keyboard so far , youtube 2k does NOT stall , ir blaster has better directional range
V10 : more ram and not TW equals a extremely smooth device, awesome DAC for headphones, fingerprint is 1,000 times better, native 64bit android seems snappier, works better with xposed very little cpu lag, the screen is excellent overall!!! , audio playback is smooth with no stuttering like on the note4 sometimes. Screen does not overheat and dim-great job LG.
Just off the top of my end phone to phone. Both are great..
If buying today 350-400 used note 4 vs 599 V10 (free 200gb card and $100 off promo if you got in early ). I would say the V10 if you like music and xposed. No freebies..I'd stick with the Note4 till Jan/Feb.
If you can find a kit Kat device, stick with the note4 till the 820 devices come out, as the V10 will be outpaced as soon as the 820 devices are released and I assume more carriers will use the ess DAC.

If ur thinking between note 7 and mi a3 then mi a3 is better overall, note 7 just has a sharper display but that's not u gonna notice its fine while the a3 display is amoled, mi a3 has better camera sensor sony on mi a3 and samsung on note 7 and a3 has a extra camera too. But not exactly a huge upgrade so stick with note 7

Go for Motorola One Vision instead : fullHD+ non PWM, NFC, camera optical stabilization, splash proof, ...
MI A3 has the worst display I ever saw in my life. Oversaturated, low-res, pentile, heavy PWM. Did buy it from eshop, so I did not know what I'm getting into.

I need your opinions on the mi a3. I'm thinking of switching from redmj note 7. I like the size, and of course stock Android. Can you guys give some personal pros and cons from your time with the device?

The size is great. Display resolution is quite low, but no disaster, you can get used to it quite quickly (I would advise to use OLED Saver app to skip PWM brightness control though). It certainly would look nicer with FHD resolution, but battery would take a hit (and possibly it would increase the phone size as well). With HD the battery life is very good (e.g. 35% left after 3 days with 6 hours of screen on time - Chrome, Youtube,..).
So far I stumbled upon 2 issues:
- 2G and 3G data doesn't seem to be working, only 4G. I'm not the only one with this problem, users from different locations report it. Hopefully will get fixed in the next update, even if it doesn't impact everybody.
- LED notification doesn't seem to be working for every app (e.g. Gmail works, Google messages not)
I have the EU variant with EU ROM.
If you're coming from MIUI, bare Android system might not be to your liking. Be sure that you are ok with missing features of MIUI (although most of them can be replicated with some effort).

Do not listen to those trolls. Trust me, the display is ___CATASTROPHIC___. It is the only phone which uses this particular display, and I think the last also. Don't make the same mistake as I did. MI A1 was great, A2 was also good, but A3 is disaster.

Thanks for your input. I'll be checking the device out in one of the stores here. Im considering the mi 9 lite as well, but I'd like Android one more than miui

I actually have the note 7 with PE10 installed. I'm quite used to stock Android. Hopefully future updates can fix those problems. What about the FOD?

I'm fine with stock Android. Been using it since JB. I want the miA3 for the Android one program. I'd like to get official 10. I'm currently using PE10 at the moment it rn7. Mi A3 is the best option for now atleast. Hopefully updates could fix some of those issues. Thanks for the input

- I don't have any issues with 2G/3G data.
- Though LED notifications are definitely not working for all apps (hopefully it will be fixed in future updates).
- FOD is not the fastest. I have an anecdotal issue with unlocking when my fingers are clean and dry (I more inclined to think it's due to dryness). One would expect issues with reading when sensor/fingers are dirty
- Display resolution and pixel density are not that bad as some ppl complain, but if it's a top requirement for you I would go in-store and have a look on it, played with brightness, read some text, etc before buying.

Do not buy the Mi A3, you will regret it everytime you use it. Most ppl will not admit that their new phone was a very bad buy - they are in denial (you can observe that in this thread).
Lol. The only thing most ppl can observe is that you cannot accept the loss of $160 on the wrong purchase.
I want Q and custom rom support. :fingers-crossed: Is the display really that bad?
Nope. But any review is subjective. If you're uncertain go in-store and take a look on it. Or take on risk, buy it and accept a potential loss of 156 USD (current price of 4/64 unit on Ali) on a device not meeting your expectations.

I suppose. I'll be checking it out. Only thing that's stopping me from getting a mi 9 lite is the lack of support.
Hello. I am following user experiences with this phone and lately i have saw that many people have started to complain about its overheating thing. I have almost bought this phone recently but after i saw that this is maybe not i software issue but more likely hardware i pulled back. Is it really so overheating that cant use in normal basis and maybe there was an update and issue fixed?
Welcome to XDA
You probably should hold off until the dust settles... if it ever does.
Variable refresh rate displays have been nothing but trouble. Android 11 and especially 12 are no blessing either.
Expensive hand warmers are getting popular it seems.
I do like to hear fresh current user experiences from I IV users. I heard that in USA there have been an update who fixed this problem.
I have Xperia 1 II and would like to buy 1 IV because there is i good deal. I dont want to miss it.

Hi, i posted here* my experience (notice it has been updated to firmware 64.0.A.5.71 (Europe) since that post (before was 64.0.A.5.27) , and as it was the 12th July , i didnt get enough time to check if there were some improvements for the heat worry with video/photo .
Also since i had been suggested by sony support to do a "software fix/repair" (translated from french) with the Xperia Companion App , rather than a factory reset .
i am not willing to do that because as you may know , for none-rooted devices only google Backup is available and not all google Apps will be restored with their settings (parameters, logins, passwords) , it depends on developpers choices, so, as i had already to do that for migrating from my Samsung S20 to Xperia I.IV , i spent 3 days to set/fix all apps (only 90/250 wre fully restored)

You're best off if you can find the root cause or a work around for the issue(s).
Updates may make matters worse and change the playing field which means more of your time to relearn it and new issues to find workarounds for
Play with it. Eventually you'll likely track it down.
This N10+ is still running well on Pie. Current load is over 2 yo, still fast and stable with minimal maintenance. Once optimized this is what Android is capable of... no need to upgrade or update. Security isn't an issue unless you do something stupid on Android 9 and higher.
I use ApkExport to make installable copies of all my apps including system apks. I use apps that support full backup data like Poweramp and ColorNote.
There may be a more recent version; not sure if this will run on Android 11 and up. Still works on 10 I believe.

Ok thks i'll have on look on that useful suggestion , i have been also a fan of poweramp since their beginings and had paid for the pro version before it became free

You're welcome.
My Samsung Note 10+ experience is an example of why you want to work it through. Learn, and use the tools available to troubleshoot the issues. After you play with it for a while it's idiosyncrasies start making sense. Upgrade/update only if really needed and is a well researched decision. I think Android 9 was the OS's zenith. Android 12 isn't pretty and 13 looks like a complete disaster so far.
I paid for Poweramp too, no regrets it's the best.
I use ColorNote for my bookmarks. You can hyperlink directly to the webpage from ColorNote. I firewall block ColorNote however just to be on the safe side. It auto backs up to my SD card

Hi just got today from Sony support : "
We have just released a maintenance software update to address heat buildup and improve image quality when shooting with the telephoto lens.
The update will be available from August in Europe (update availability may vary by region and carrier). It is always recommended to update your device with the latest software available."

Maybe. But after this update i think camera acting diferently. And after update there was warning in camera app not ticked as it was. I also have filmed video for longer than 3 minutes in 4K with auto focus in sdr.

Hi, i tested and saw no great improvment so far : before, using Video Pro [dont know the name in English , translated from french, but not the Movie Pro(with venice settings etc)]
with last but one firmware between 12' and 15' of video (indoor, not moving, pointed to my TV playing a movie) T° around 30°C) then stops ; with latest firmware 18'
i am using the default settings (see capture) but perhaps mine is definitively a faulty unit
If you cannot deal with the overheating, just return the phone. Sony will not be able to solve the lack of heat sink with software update and give us the full power of the 8 gen 1 chip. This phone should have been designed at least as thick as the camera units on it, including a bigger battery and a proper vapour chamber heat sink to utilize this chip to its full potential. I am a sony user since 2005 some sony devices are good some are better, some are totally junk. There is only one phone currently that did a proper job. "ZTE nubia REDMAGIC 7 5G Gaming Phone"
