[Q] Sony's android update policy - Sony Tablet S

Whats your opinion ?
what should be priority ?
Fixing software related issues stability and pushing out android updates faster ?
Just fixing software related issues ?

Focus on new features ?
And should more broken product with more software issues and bugs stability issues get priority ?
Or should newest product get priority ?

I was thinking to make this but NO time, you made it, I am going to put a case on you for stealing my idea from my mind.

Personaly think sony should give broken devices priority, and release updates much faster, and max 3 devices a year.
With golden rule that they won't release a new product in a broken state like xperia tablet s or other devices, aka not done untill stable.
With least 3 years off updates big updates included, with another 2 years for small updates to fix issues software bugs.
You can't expect brands honestly to release new product on time every time other brands usualy have problems with that asswell.
But slow updates and fixes are just not acceptabele.
Cheap budget stuff should only get small updates for fixes, only big update if it makes it run smoother and better aka worth it.
Personaly tough i think sony should stop releasing budget stuff just stick to mid range and high end.
High end becomes the new mid range in the next year and in the year after it becomes the new low end.
Anyway i'm just being reasonable now, ofcourse i expect sony to least support their high end devices 5 years.

Samsung already working on android 5.0

4 people thank me for topic but do not share opinion
while 1 guy thought about opening thread and has't shared opinion either.
Anyway its pointless to discuss this here anyway should dicuss this over at sony's forum.

I think Sony should focus on software issue, updates and new features like they have done with Z, water and dust proof. According to me waterproof and dust is more better then various sensors like eye tracking we really don't need then.
Edit - I never thought about opening a thread for this just.that pic

[Q] Nexus 5 vs LG G2

Looking at getting a new phone. Coming from the N4, I am used to stock and enjoy the quick updates. However, the G2 offers a better camera and much more importantly a better battery life. Can anyone speak to their experience with custom roms with G2? I'm under the impression that roms for non-nexus devices tend to be buggier.
Be ready to see this locked
LG G2
I chose the g2 over the nexus for the added screen size' the button placement which i absolutely love, camera, battery life. I could go on. Vanilla android is nice but honestly , the g2 ui is awesome. I absolutely feel no need to flash away to other things.
Just got rid of the N5, do have to say it is awesome. Camera is hit or miss. It'll surprise you but more times then not its pretty dissapointing. Battery life is rather horrendous for the n5 but it s doable,barely! If you like to switch it up and flash alot of roms then get the N5. So far the g2 has been one of if not the best smart phone I've ever owned or had the pleasure of putting my mitts on. As for roms I'm still stock for now but even this way the g2 is blazing through whatever I shoot at it. Benchmarks don't mean **** but it does stroke the ego a tad.

Pa is really stable, and with a good 4.4 rom like this it's basically an n5 with a bigger screen and better battery.
So it's almost n5 vs n5 plus if you ask me.

Please no comparison Threads....

Are you satisfied with your Z Ultra?

I'd really like to have one, but there are a couple of issues: The screen...if I bought a used one, for example, can I get the warranty honored? Secondly, the SOD: Has it been solved?

I'm very happy with my two (one as a incar GPS/test box). Good luck on warranty on a used one, Sony here in NZ didn't want to know for my second one (I brought it broken), although they are a gray import here.
The sleep of death was solved a long time ago on one of the 4.2 updates. There is 4.4.4 kicking around noe.
Yes, i am very satisfied with Z Ultra. Nope the chances for me to go back to small screen is very much gone... Unless no Z2 Ultra in the future.
But as of now, Z Ultra is really great. never got satisfied more than this. Battery Life might need to be better but 5 hour real time screen time average is very respectable for such screen size and power engine
Short answer: Yes. Very. I'll probably stick with it for another year (have had mine for around 10 months now).
horribly glitchy, unpredictable, can't depend on it, countless small little annoyances everywhere
but every android phone is like that... at least this one has a huge screen and is rather fast so yeah i guess

YES, I AM
Except when I'm learning now how to create a custom recovery...
And I don't understand anything, I locked back my bootloader... Still rooted on stock .108
I'm trying to create a website dedicated for this C6833
To avoid any confusion between the Z1 and our Z Ultra
(even if they are pretty close the same)
(I'm recreating a new account on XDA because I forgot my old one, and those 10 posts minimum gets me very angry)
I am very happy with my C6802 almost 11 months after getting it (bought it early August last year). It is still unsurpassed and despite about three weeks before root was possible (vRoot unfortunately), the arrival of GPe got things going.
It is the best phablet made to this date; I don't consider any other device close beside the Oppo Find 7. The only thing I am worried about is the lack of any successor rumor or even information about upcoming devices in the same category. The only competitors I know about right now is the Oppo N1 and Huawei Ascend Mate 2, both with weaker hardware.
My requirements for a new device is Snapdragon 810/815, 4 GB RAM, 64 GB internal storage, 6.5-7 inch screen, keyboard cover as an option, camera not important (have the QX10 for that), microSDXC slot and... either Google vanilla/Android Silver or CM-based. Sony implementation is OK.
I guess next year will bring those things to the table but it would be great with some decent phablets this fall since it would indicate that the segment is alive and well. Right now, the Ultra is in a class of its own and any other device means compromising on the core: a solution that is a true tablet replacement with great software.
Edit: The GPe ROM paired with Xposed Framework and optimized Dalvik libraries (compensating for the ART/Xposed issue) make the Ultra a completely superior phablet. I have tried the Note 3 (which is hyped as being such a great device) several times and it is far, far behind the Ultra in every aspect besides the camera. The best features of it such as multiwindow is available on the Ultra through Xposed and it works great.

LG G2 Android 5.0 screenshot leaks before rollout

Source: GSMARENA
The Lollipop update frenzy is well under way and LG's current flagship - the LG G3 was definitely not left behind with updates rolling out during all of the December, first in South Korea and then in a number of other countries. In the height of all this one question remains unanswered - will last year's LG flagship - the very popular LG G2 receive similar treatment.
A screenshot surfaced today that might shed some light on the matter. It appears to show a F320L version of the LG G2 running an Android 5.0.1 build. Even more encouragingly the UI, visible in the picture seems to bear all the design and visual characteristics of LG's new GUI, which first appeared on the G3. So it seems the year-old smartphone will receive the full update package, complete with the fresher interface.
This is all but justified, given that the LG G2 still packs quite the punch and can easily compete with current devices. Its more-than adequate Snapdragon 800 SoC, 2GB of RAM and 5.2-inch 1080p display are more than worthy to be adorned by Google's latest OS version.
One more important detail needs to be noted about the screenshot, namely that it is obviously taken from a F320L G2 unit, which is the LTE-A model, exclusive to South Korea. This of course comes as no surprise, given LG's track record of beginning update roll-out on the domestic market first. If the rumor is true and the photo real, Lollipop builds for the international LG G2 versions can't be far behind and should grace user's phones pretty soon.

ZTE accuses Huawei’s Nexus 6P of ripping off its Athena phone

The latest batch of Nexus smartphones are certainly look quite a bit different to last year’s model. But they’re apparently not unique enough for ZTE, which has accused Huawei of copying the design of its Athena handset when it came up with the Nexus 6P.
Taking to the Chinese social network Weibo, ZTE’s marketing director Lu Qian Hao suggests that the Nexus P6 pays a heavy tribute to the ‘elegant’ and ‘stunning’ ZTE Athena, also known as the Grand S. The message was directed at Huawei’s Yu Chengdong.
I don’t think Google translate is working too well though, as there’s also something about Huawei having a sex change operation thrown in there too? Either way, he doesn’t seem to have taken the 6P’s launch too well.
Comparing the two side by side, there is certainly a similarity between the ZTE Athena and the Nexus 6P when you look at the black bar across the back. Then again, the Athena is a design from back in early 2013 and ZTE hasn’t seemed too bothered about reviving the look for any of its recent models. The Nokia 808 PureView also springs to mind.
Huawei and ZTE have a long running rivalry. The two Chinese companies compete not only in the smartphone market but also in the international telecommunication equipment field too. However, this wouldn’t be the first time that Huawei has been accused of “paying tribute” to other smartphone designs with its products, so perhaps ZTE has a point?
What do you think about the resemblance?

Who cares..
Hmmmm ....... Smart phones look similar ..... Imagine that
That zte also looks like a Motorola atrix HD. At least a little bit. Not sure if that phone came out in 2012 or 2013.

Nice try ZTE!
Those who care please speak up...
*crickets*
Hmm, the major similarity is that big black bar aaaaand that's it. The bar isn't even the same size. That bar also isn't unique to ZTE, as mentioned by others.
As a result, I give exactly 0 flips about this.

Question OnePlus Nord N20 5G discontinued

I've been told that the OnePlus Nord N20 5G has been discontinued due to poor sales and is being replaced with the SE variant.
Their website doesn't even mention this phone anymore, and the product page was taken down. I guess there's no hope in getting stock firmware from OnePlus anymore.
The SE variant is basically just the 5G version without 5G and with an ugly teardrop camera design instead of the holepunch like the rest. The N10 5G is not a substitute for the N20 5G, they have many differences despite being similar in branding.

Their selling them on prime early access NOW. They may not be planning on doing much else with the device but they've already produced them by the thousands. There are branded as well as unbranded variants. I think they messed up with the N20 and n200 naming because the n200 literally sounds like it would be the better phone but none intuitively it is a much lesser device so I think they sort of shot their self in the foot with that. But that being said, the SE is a terrible device compared to it's predecessor. It's literally not even in the same league. I would say that maybe the SE is a expensive high , low tier device looking at specs and what I've heard from others
I have zero complaints about the N20 other than the fact that they seem to have rushed it out and then back stepped. There are plenty of things they could be doing to give the user better experience with these devices but they seem to have made their little bit of money and ran moving on to other projects and it feels like they sort of just forgot about their customers. But I'm sure there will be more devs to come with the skill to give the community lots of cool mods and customizations maybe even just to spite the fact that one plus seems to have forgotten about us LOL. But I'm not angry there is really nothing I can complain about on this phone maybe they just feel like they got it right the first time.
Also SE is NOT anything like the 5g version. They went with worse hardware, lower performance CPU, no 5g etc... Completely different device.
If you can snag the OnePlus N20 5G at a good price then grab one while you can, assuming the OP is right about discontinuation. Not sure why they decided to go with a lower spec device to replace this one but maybe people just weren't ready for the price range that they listed it as. I believe mine were $280 when I got mine. Lots of people either want a cheap device or a flagship. I think you get the best of both worlds with the N20 5G
It's still on one plus website I just looked
Nevermind I'm in America we sell the n20 but not the se
