The picture of the phone is attached herewith.
I have written to Mercury so many times and my request went into deaf ears.
I have flashed the phone with Xtreamer Aiki 3.0 ROM which is available in XDA forum. Phone is working fine but the screen goes Black during calls. I tried every possible means to Disable proximity sensor ( May be damaged?) but no success.
I want to know by members which other ROMs are compatible with my phone? My phone has NO Hardware button. There are 5 touch buttons as shown in picture. I tried flashing Star N8000 and i9220 ROMs too. Not working correctly..
Please help. If anyone intend to help me and want more details about this phone please reply.
Have you tried to recalibrate it.
I know there's a DHD recalibrator
but for general use only found this.

Sir,
Thanks for your reply.I resolved the issue and my phone is working fine. I am using Xtreamer ROM as Kobian Mercury PC doesnt feel good yet to share their custom ROM s even to its customers! I want to know how to create custom ROM using a working phone? I have another Mercury Mtab MagiQ with me. Or any other ROMs matching to the hardware requirements of Mtab MagiQ? Please feel free to answer me. Sorry if i troubled you amidst your hectic schedules.
Rom is not something you'll "fabricate" with some good will only.
That's what developers do, so I suggest you check these forums for xtreamer, and ask the devs to give you some reference or advice.
Can you tell me please where to find that rom you installed ?

I would recommend the Samsung Galaxy S4 or the Sony Xperia ZR with the edge going to the Galaxy S4 (The Qualcomm SoC version has a wide variety of development activity). The problem with phones like the Nokia Lumia 920 is while it is a good phone, Windows Phone 8 lacks many of the features Android does such as app selection, customization, lack of good notification support, and good universal search. Overall Android would be the way to go for features it has in my opinion.

I wouldn't go with the ****sung since they almost release a new phone every milisecond and after they got newer models they won't update the S4 anymore(yes, im thinking forward since I had a Samsung Galaxy for years.)
I would personally go with the xperia ZR since I don't like WP.
But why not the Nexus 4 or wait for the Moto X?

Since you mentioned that only the Octa core Exynos variant of the Samsung Galaxy S4 is available in your country I would go with the Sony Xperia ZR. I'm not sure about the availability of the Nexus 4 in India but I would agree that it's worth looking into.

True, well then I think ZR is the best choice, atleast thats what I would choose.

I have the S4 and Love it.
I would definitely suggest the Samsung Galaxy S 4. I just got mine a few weeks ago and LOVE it. Samsungs a great manufacture of Android phones and have VERY few known issues.
AND SAMSUNG IS ONE OF THE BEST MANUFACTURES AT KEEPING THEIR PHONES SOFTWARE UP TO DATE.
The original Captivate was around FOREVER… FOR-EV-ER.
Nokia and Xperia phones are OK, but they lack a few minor things that the S4 has. Things that the average user doesn’t run into unless they try to move files or want to reset their unit etc.
I definitely recommend the S4. You will LOVE it!
Don’t forget to check your headset jack and LDI (liquid damage indicator) no matter what phone you choose. Don’t want to run into problems after your buyers remorse runs out.
Good luck goldsmit409, don’t forget to come back and let us know what you decided to pick.

if any xperia zr user is reading this thread can any one tell me if games can be moved to sd without rooting??

not sure if it will work but if anyone can help me out it will be a lot easier as I don't want to run into low memory problem coz I like to play games a lot

yup you are right
Those are the specifications of the new Huawei Honor Play 5X
Overall its a good midrange smartphone
5-inch HD (720x1280 pixels) display
quad-core MediaTek MT6735 SoC clocked at 1.3GHz
2GB of RAM
16GB of inbuilt storage
microSD card (up to 32GB)
13-megapixel rear camera, and 5-megapixel front-facing camer
5.0 Android
Cant find the price tag though..
If i find will post it later
hope this one will be cheap, i am interested in it.
I'm ineterested in this as well.
Second name: Huawei Enjoy 5 (华为畅享5),
Feature - Battery 4000mAh
It seems that Huawei Enjoy 5 and Huawei Honor Play 5X - two different phones.
6" (and larger) device alternatives to replace our Xperia Z Ultra (10+ device specs)
Let us make this the thread where all current and future devices with a screen at least 6 inches or more are discussed, so that when the day comes to choose a replacement for our beloved XZU, we will be ready.
List of Latest Contenders
1. Sony Xperia XA Ultra, 6.0", Mediatek Helio P10
2. Lenovo Phab2 Pro, 6.4", Snapdragon 652
3. LeEco Le Max X900, 6.33", Snapdragon 810
4. Xiaomi Mi Max, 6.44", Snapdragon 650
5. Zenfone 3 Ultra, 6.8", Snapdragon 652
6. Huawei Mate 8, 6", Kirin 959
7. Huawei P8 Max, 6.8", Kirin 935
8. Samsung Galaxy A9, 6", Snapdragon 652
I think phones such as Sony C5 Ultra are outmoded now. I would not consider buying a device with a processor less than Snapdragon 650 and I would very much prefer my new phone to come with Android Marshmallow.

Huawei Mate 8 vs P8Max: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPO9XQ6Dwnc
I have had a chance to use Huawei P8Max that belongs to a friend for a few minutes. It looks great and only slightly larger than our Xperia Z Ultra. The screen is very nice, the phone is quite responsive. THough my friend complained a bit about the phone taking a very long time to charge. My only concern with Huawei devices is the lack of root access&almost no ROM development. P8Max has Kirin 935 CPU which sits one level below the current flagship Kirin, 950.
Huawei MediaPad X2
1200x1920 Pixel, 7" Screen
16 or 32 GB internal SD
Three variants, GEM-701L (European), GEM-702L (International), GEM-703L (Chinese)
Only the chinese Version get's proper upodates, but the community ports them very fast to the other models, especially with the KangVIP ROM. Variants have different software installed (chinese variant without GApps), only the european variant supports LTE Band 20.
2 GB RAM (16 GB variant) / 3 GB RAM (32 GB variant)
HiSilicon Kirin 930 octa core CPU / GPU Mali-T628+ i3 co-processor
13 MPixel main camera / 5 MPixel front camera

Huawei Mate 8 vs P8Max: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPO9XQ6Dwnc
I have had a chance to use Huawei P8Max that belongs to a friend for a few minutes. It looks great and only slightly larger than our Xperia Z Ultra. The screen is very nice, the phone is quite responsive. THough my friend complained a bit about the phone taking a very long time to charge. My only concern with Huawei devices is the lack of root access&almost no ROM development. P8Max has Kirin 935 CPU which sits one level below the current flagship Kirin, 950.
Hows the camera and performance if compared to z ultra....

Honestly, in my opinion the camera on our phones is well I can't put it nicely, it's a ****ty camera in my opinion.
My gf had a huawei p7 and the camera was way way better then the camera from my xzu.

It's Mobile World Congress in a matter of weeks, so I am hoping there will be more phablets announced, in particularly a Z5 or Z6 Ultra.
I just ordered the mate 8. I got the Z5p but its too small, so I guess I'll be sacrificing ip68 for a while.

Once it arrives, could you compare your Mate 8 to XZU? It would be interesting to have an XZU owner's perspective. And according to the Mate 8 XDA forums, it has been rooted succesfully.
Sure

Interesting to find this thread. I been using my G Flex for a while and couldn't find a replacement for it. Most of the phones listed I've been looking at and haven't found a suitable replacement yet. The M5 Plus I would get but can't find 1 place to order it from.
Huawei P8 Max
I have just bought the Huawei P8 Max to replace my beloved Z ultra (the screen broke by itself !!). Initial impressions are positive - screen is bigger and brighter, very well built , superior camera with flash and what really impressed me in addition to the mammoth battery is the speaker volume, this thing is VERY loud, something we all missed with the ultra.
Having said that, you need to put the following into consideration if you are planning to migrate to the P8 Max:
- Huawei implementation of android cannot be compared to what Sony offers. I know it is a personal perspective but not having an application drawer and blocking applications notifications is too much.
- Forget the lovely 320 DPI where the screen accommodated everything you wished for - Huawei stupidly implemented a 480 DPI interface , everything apart from main menus (games, applications ... etc) just looks too big and ugly. (Hopefully it receives the marshmallow updates where the DPI can be customized like the mate 8).
- Slow updates from Huawei and very small community online.
Other than that, the device is very good, it has everything a phablet lover might ask for - but if Sony releases an Ultra successor I would jump into it.
Cheers

Been using the mate 8 for a few days and I am loving it. For me, 6" is the best screen size. I absolutely love using the XZU at home, but walking around trying to use it with one hand is damn near impossible, and it looks ridiculous in dress pants for work. So until sony comes out with a 6" device, I am going with huawei for now. Here is my more thorough mate 8 review;

you could try to use adb to set density to 320 though.
for those of us who need the extra storage, are there any cases that include a mSD slot? like some cases include a battery? at least this way the lazy manufacturers can make their little phones with no expandable storage but we could put them in a phone with an SD card that would mount on our phones?
side note, another one here looking to get rid of his Z ultra (on original since oct 2013) and am bored. haven't flashed it beyond 4.1.2 and as samsungs out of the running, am looking elsewhere

Thank you for the hint, already did that and was struggling to find the sweet spot. After several trials, setting the density to 288 and using a 3rd party launcher was perfect. However, the only minor issue I am facing is that the typing cursor disappeared in some applications like whatsapp and chrome.
