Xperia S - Still worth buying? - Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion

Hey there.
Planning to buy a new phone in April or May, and have narrowed it down to XS and S3 Mini.
Now, I love the XS design, camera and all other features. All in all, its quite an awesome phone. Just a few questions to be asked:
1. Are the capacitive buttons alright? I'm buying the phone online, so no chance to use. I've seen many people on video reviews saying they're hard to touch. Is it really that difficult?
2. Is the back cover a bit flimsy? I've seen in a couple video reviews them mentioning it easily comes off. Is this a big issue? Because I don't think I hold the phone so tightly for it to come off.
3. Is it still worth buying? Do note that I am going to use Stock for a month before switching to FXP CM10. And its a 2012 June phone, so yeah.
4. How do I go about saving all my SD card stuff on this? If I flash CM10, how do I retain the SD card stuff, which I would have transferred? I don't quite understand. And how will I go about with the mass storage? How does it work?
Thanks a bunch in advance. All replies, including useless, troll ones will be thanked with the button.

Thanks so much for the reply. For the last question,
If I have songs and stuff on my ad card. I transfer them to the phone. I flash cm10, so do tyr transferred files remain like an SD card? Because I don't understand how this works.

Nothing would be formatted on the sd card, you would lose nothing when flashing roms.

I would like to, but its going to be very expensive. I'm getting XS for 20k INR (~$360-365) online. That would be for like 30K. My budget ends on 21K tops.
Edit: Since I'm buying it online at eBay India, how do I avoid the yellow tint issue? What do I ask the seller?

[Q] 32GB Micro SD

Hi all, sorry I'd this has been posted before but just wondered if there is a certain type of 32gb Micro SD card that I need or will any one work?
Thinking of getting one as 16gb just ain't enough.
Thanks all

Theres 20 threads on this. Check out the Accessories forum.
All 32gb will work. Unless its a toy

Be careful with the fake, Chinese ones out there on e-bay, etc. Many of them have far less capacity then they say..
Definitely avoid the cheap nasty one's on eBay! I bought one, looking for a cheap deal and trust me when I say it was more hassle than it was worth, data appears to copy across, but when you open the folders, they're empty. Fortunately the seller was a good guy and had himself been ripped off on a supply he had bought. He refunded me fully.
Bought a genuine 32GB card and I've had no problems with it.
Yeah I seen these, gonna stick to a name brand me thinks, just to be on the safe side

Cracking Open the HTC One X ?

Does anyone one know if anyone has done one of those "cracking open" vids for the HOX yet ? I would be interested to see how it's set up inside. I'd also like to know if the 32GB internal memory is actually a micro-SD card that could be swapped for a 64GB at some point

I would be shocked if the internal memory was a MicroSD and not soldered to the board. It kind of defeats the purpose to make it non-removable and NOT give us the performance of a dedicated connection.

Shocked or not, it's what they did with the HD7. I wouldn't be surprised at all. A good, high speed SD card?...you'd never know the difference
Whatever is the cheaper option. That is what they did. Can pretty much guarantee it.

From a diagnostics, servicing & repair point of view it would be much cheaper and easier if it was an SD card.
Not sure about manufacturing. Probably about even.
Just wondering if the only way to open up the One X is to remove the LCD screen? If yes then what's the point of knowing if it's a 32mb SD card? Is the average joe able to open it up anyway?

A) Curiosity.
B) This is not about the average Joe. The average Joe does not crack open his phone, or root it, or install custom ROMs, or visit xda-developers.com. The average Joe has an iPhone.

do you not mean peeps with iphones are like sheep and scared to get a real phone LOL
Is there a doctor among us?
Put a HOX under X-ray (Turn it OFF first) and post a pic here.
We'll find out, if there is a memory card or something. Also, may be we'll see how to disassemble a HOX.
I think the HOX may be easier to disassemble that you might think.
I bought a gel skin case for mine which I take off fairly often because the HOX is so damn beautiful and nice to hold that it seems a crime to ruin it with a case.
Anyway, the case it quite a snug fit and I noticed when removing it that if I put my thumb on top of the polycarbonate just under the buttons at the bottom of the screen and firmly but gently flex it back I can snap the polycarbonate away from the screen by just a few millimetres. I can clearly see three little snaptabs sticking off the bottom of the screen that hold the polycarbonate in place. It snaps right back into place immediately.
I am too scared to try this right now but I think with further gentle pressure the whole outer casing would be levered away and you could lift all the innards out of the polycarbonate unibody.
There is clearly no "tool" access to the device so I assume that this is how it is assembled and disassembled.
BTW, here is a short video of the "opening" I mentioned above :

Yeah, y'know, I think I'll leave that to someone else.
Maybe someone who's already bricked theirs or got a DOA.
Mine's too new and shiny
So maybe this brings hope, that this is not a throw away phone or a send back to HTC service centre senario. Hopefully the battery could be user replacable in a few years time, once third party batteries become available.
gives me hope too...
even if it's a Li-Po, probably third parties will make a bigger battery for it, if it's possible.. >=)

Friend offered Desire

Hello. I was looking for cheap socond-hand android phone,and one friend offered his Desire for 150$ is that a good deal?
im from ireland and average price for second hand desire is around 100 euro, so bout 135$ so yeah its about right. just make sure its in good working order
Sent from my HTC Desire
It's a good deal, when you think it's a good deal. Are you willing to spend $150 dollar on the phone?
Here in The Netherlands, second hand Desires are sold for about €125-€150, so the price seems fair. But it may well be that in your country the prices differ.

If the phone is in perfect status can be a good price, but if he's your friend he might be able to lower it.
I bought mine 4 weeks ago for 100€ with headphones, and I think I made a very good deal cause this phone is awesome.

u dont need a big sdcard for rooting, jeez a 4gb card would be fine for a lot of people, most ext3/4 partitions u need for like 70% of roms only require 1gb/1.5gb. basically what im saying is keep what u have, s-off & root ur phone, learn to flash a rom and so on, and if it turns out that u download like a madman and u need a bigger sdcard then go buy 1, dont just go buy 1 coz some1 tells ya too, coz they aint that cheap.

I had read specs saying 32 - plus I have a 64. It is accessible through Root Explorer and with the camera. However, TWRP will not mount it and apps like Media Hub and most others will not access it. I have been manually moving large files around,
When I put my 16 gb in, everything works OK. Suggestions would be appreciated.
UPDATE - Problem was that it was formatted exFat. Formatting in the device or with Windows won't let you do FAT32, but freeware app did. It now can be accessed by TWRP (having it do a backup to it) and I was able to select it with Media Hub.

sadly i did not receive that coupon...probably because its back in stock today
As of 11-11-12, the price is back down to $39.99, and it's out of stock again (before I was able to buy)....lol
The out of stock is "online"...and there are no B&M stores within 50 miles of me that have them. You may be luckier, just search.
Unfortunately I can't use it for anything except media files. Rooted my Note 2 and still can't move my apps to SD. Only 1.2gb left free internally for apps now. Sucks. Really wishing I would have held or for something bigger than 16gb.

288gb note 3

Ok well i went ahead and ordered This & This.
After reading the thread from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2568968 i was on a mission to have a huge ammount of storage space on my phone (huge app junky) I will definetly report back on how things work out(really was skeptical on that 50 dollar 256gb sdcard) but if it holds out to being legit im gonna be ecstatic as hell and its even a class 10! If anything and it turns out to be some sorry 32gb sdcard i can always get my money back from paypal anyways it's worth a shot. That type 8 microsd to sd adapter is nice too as it should be lengthy enough to bend/fold over my zerolemon battery, might have a small growth on the back of my phone but it will be worth it
Ordered it today and should have both parts in about a week, seen this work before on the note 2 so as long as this sdcard is a go... i'll be getting a hell of a deal and so will anyone else wanting to do the same after i report back that it's legit :good:
Can these phones Handel all that
It is most likely a legit card. Hopefully it lasts though. Adata makes a ton of cards, but about 40% I would guess are crap. And if course every one I have gotten from them ended up being in that 40%.
Edit: clicked the post button too soon.
Take some pictures if it, and which zero lemon you have, the 10000 ma one? I was thinking of doing the exact same thing, so I am very curious how this will turn out. Good luck.

I'm sorry that you've had bad luck with A-data. I have over 10 cards from them, and they're all working perfectly. I use them as my main card in my DSLR as well, and all has been well.

I am actually quite used to it. I was (am) the kid who could never even win at bingo. So my luck with bad cards is nothing new to me.
Other people, like you, swear by them. But for the life of me, I could not get one to last over 1 week. 3 of them were within the last month. I kept returning hoping the next one would work.
And no, I am not hard on them. I have 2 other ones, sandisk and some unknown brand and I have had those for 4 years...
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk
I just couldnt believe 256gb for 50$ Sold!!!
I hope you guys are right about being a decent enough card, i've been very loyal to Sandisk but they were going for $200+ compared to Adata's. I have the Zerolemon 10,000mah and Otterbox like case, I'm hoping the sdcard adapter wont leave a huge added bulk on top of the battery so the casing can still fit. Otherwise i might just rock my stock battery and use the foam casing with otterbox to hold the adapter still.

Just check ebay and do a search for 256gb sd and you should find similar deals and cards.

Update: Got back from the hospital today had a lower back surgery due to a ruptured disc putting pressure on my nerves and sending all kinds of hell down my leg(living with it for about 5 months) Luckily i was only in the hospital for 24Hrs it was a microdisectomy- whew glad that's over! Now i just got to deal with the pain which feels like someone threw a fireaxe into my lower back, my wife is taking care of me.
So i came home and she said i got some kind of sdcard in the mail and sure enough it was the 256gb ADATA sd card, i quickly as i could put that sucker into the sdcard reader of my pc and sure enough........
244gb formatted to fat32!!!!!!!
Not everything is a scam, you just really need to check user reviews and feedback on the seller, if it looks fake(i almost didnt order it but i thought what the hell its paypal i'll get my money back) just keep looking around i got lucky with this card but they are out there!
Pics below for proof. I'm still waiting on my type 8 microsd to sdcard adapter so i can try it on my Note 3. I will update this thread again once i recieve it

I advise anyone wanting a 256gb card like the one I got hit the link above and ask the seller if there's any left, I got mine for 50! I got it quick too as he shipped from NY and I'm in CA. All I'm waiting on now is my type 8 microsd to SD card reader to try out on my note 3.
Goodluck!

Have you tried copying a large amount of data to the card? From what I've read, fake cards will often format to their full capacity but fail when you copy an amount of data which exceeds their true capacity.

Maybe I'm missing something but it's not a micro SD card. It's not like you have 26th note 3 in your pocket.
I'm not trying to be coy, I honestly don't get what the big deal is. Aside from the price
