Cell Phones Dedicated Discussion (Market Prices/ Troubleshooting/ Advice/ Recommendations)

[Vajih102]

For those ov you talking about Xperia U, I recommend you to go through the reviews at gsmarena.com before buying.

I have one and hate it. My phone often hangs and at times, it stops typing. When I bought it (brand new), I even faced an issue ov not being able to hear the other side. The phone or hearing part and vibration mode (I never use ringtones) wouldn't even work. To overcome all ov these problems, I have to restart. Also, using other mobiles' chargers causes a really stupid issue while typing.

I wanted to sell it within two days ov buying but lost time as I had to go abroad and now it's a bit late to get good money.

Before buying, I asked two friends who already owned the same. Spiderman said his Xperia U never had a single issue but Asad said he had faced them all and now you see I did too.

I have no idea about Xperia J but just maybe it would have been a better option. I tried to save the Rs. 2-3000 difference.

Xperia phones work fine only if powered by 1 Gb ram and sufficient internal memory else they behave stupidly . As far as charger problem is concerned it happens once you don't use recommended charger for the concerned phone .

Previously I had a Samsung google nexus s and it behaved much much more stupidly than xperia U... Beleive me, Xperia U isnt bad for its price or specs... the unstability of these phones are due to their OS.. android phones are like that.. they held, they get stuck, slow etc etc.

However yes you seem to be facing more problems than me, I hope u have not bombarded the phone with many apps... I hope you exit them properly and u restart ur phone atleast once daily!

• I believe android experience starts from 1 GB ram and above... 512 mb ram phones always struggle... Thats why im keeping my phone light, not filling the memory with useless stuff and have no intension of upgrading the OS... I also restart it after playing games like subway surfers for extensive periods just as a precaution... Sometimes after i exit subway surfer everything on my phone gets inverted! Text appears written backwards, but if u just keep it idle for a few seconds it restores its mind back! Lol...

Thek phone ha overall in 17,500Rs I got this w/o warranty and i am pretty satisfied as an entry level phone.

I told you to buy Qmobile A8. No issues so far.

[mubeenshahid]

has anybody yet bought sgs4?

[uziuzair]

wo officially ICS kahanse update hoga??
pc suite connect karun tab b nahi dikhata k ICS available hai..up to date software he likha dikha raha hota hai

Performance after upgrade was good if not better. I just upgraded because I wanted a root and thought oh well, why not get ICS too. At the time of upgrading, my phone did not show an OTA update to ICS. But yes, ICS has been officially out for LWW for a long time now. I personally did not like ICS, preferred GB.

After I flashed it with ICS, my phone then showed an official update to another higher version of ICS. I did not flash it OTA as I was afraid I was going to loose root.

I am using xperia T for last three months.. Bought it for 33k.. You can check current price from cellmart.pk or homeshopping...
I have previously used Samsung galaxy S and HTC Desire S... The good things of xperia T includes its design( curved body ), display, a very good processor..and 13 MP camera.. I haven't found any lag issues even with some heavy software... The only concern is its battery but that too is not that bad.. I would have again gone for Samsung if I could have got a comparable flagship phone like S3 in this price but there was price difference of 10k.. Another good thing is xperia T is running android 4.1.2 jelly bean....

thanks for the detailed reply........i have some more questions if u can answer them!!
Currently m using Sony Xperia Neo L, which is undoubtedly one of the most slowest, pathetic phone on this planet! It even lags while typing a message, multi tasking is out of question!! It takes ages to load simple apps like Viber or Facebook. So m a bit hesitant to buy another Sony phone, there are some other problems like ringtone changes itself after restarting the phone, message app stops responding and u have to restart the phone to start sending messages again, is there any problem like this in Xperia T???

I've looked for the price of it on What Mobile, but the thing is, when u go the market there is always a price difference of 1 or 2k, so i want to know exact market price!!

oh and are u sure it come with Android Jellybean? Last I checked it says it comes with Android ICS and JB upgrade is planned....

Xperia Neo L is an outdated phone now. Aj kal k daur me dual core and 1gb ram se kam mobile recommended nahi...

YES IT COMES PRE-INSTALLED with ics but iska official jelly bean update aa chukka ha.

It's a good phone, feel free to buy it...
And about market price, the prices on online websites is more than you can get in market. And Sony mobile prices is different in different shops here... just a minor difference of 500-1000

Bro there is lot of difference between xperia neo and xperia T.. There is no comparison actually.. T has got 1 gb ram and 1.5 dual core processor so no lag issues even playing heavy games... No such issues as you mentioned... Final decision is yours obviously.. For exact price you will have to check the market.. And yes it comes with ICS but jelly bean update is already available officially.. I updated through Sony pc companion as soon as I bought it.. It's the best choice in this price range,...

There are some Samsung phones which you can get in this range but these are not flagship phones. If you can buy S3 you can go for it..

[tal_al_]

any reviews on the q10?

[ha125]

WRONG!

Xperia S LT26i is outdated because of its old chipset.

Xperia SL on the other hand was released as an upgrade from the S. It came with a newer 1.7GHz Dual-Core processor.

And who says Dual-Cores aren't enough? S4 Mini has a Dual-Core processor and I don't see that lagging!

Get your facts straight.

Thanku brother for pointing out my mistake. I had mistakenly written Xperia SL whereas I was to answer sam bhai's question about Xperia Neo L. It's a typing mistake don't worry, I'll edit it

How do I find the space stuff in my phone? I have WhatsApp, Viber, this PakWheels' App and Photomania only. Don't listen to music, don't watch movies. Vot do you recommend I should do and should not? This phone switching off daily thing I heard a few years ago. Since my phone back then was some other (don't remember now), I found it to be nonsense. And the slow/stuck tag you've labelled with Android, I faced it with my HTC Explorer only after water got in.

I hope I don't sound too much against your recommendations; you both have in actual made my mind beginning to accept this stupid.

I told you to buy Qmobile A8. No issues so far.

Told you I had had issues with Chinese brands earlier. Spiderman hasn't had any problems with his Xperia U either.

Vajih bro matti pao..Get Samsung s2 or S3. Sell your xperia

[Vajih102]

S3 is too big for my liking. No idea about S2. But, I've used too much ov Samsung. I wanted Sony because this was the latest trend. Next, I'll go back to HTC InshAllah.

Sent from my ST25a using PW Forums mobile app

[versatilegenious]

S3 is good, i think spiderman was selling one so he might guide you better. It feel a bit odd in the begining but once you get used to it, you'll feel strange holding your sony again. For lag related problems, s3 is the answer. Xperia S lags too,used it on ics havent checked it aftet itd jellybean update.
