Hi,
I was wondering why there is no forum yet for the SE Xperia X2 smartphone ?
A lot of posts can be found that mention the X2 but are really meant for X1.
I need to know if someone is looking into the firmware flash procedure ?
I have a Swedish X2 and want to transform it into an English X2. I have the ROMs but don't know how to flash them. XA procedure did not work (no way to get into color-bar flash mode at boot-up, used all the buttons, none worked).
TIA,
JohMut
Gentle Bump: No X2 owners around ?
Come on, there must be people that bought the SE X2 by now and want to fiddle around with their devices to make it better than it was ever planned to be. If I see the enthusiasm of the X1 community, I was hoping for something similar from the emerging X2 community ?

Bump.... anyone?
Are you serious?
These are all Iphone knock offs
lol if thats what you want then you cant go wrong with any they are practically the same.
Seriously bro get a low end android phone than any of these.
There is a Ciphone A9+ version which has 3G support.
I think H2000 is great. BTW I found a H2000 on PickEgg only needs $173.3 with shipping. Seems the same one, check it out: http://www.pickegg.com/wholesale/h2...al-standby-quad-band-black.html?welcome=57903

hey guys help me with ur views and suggestions.
Spice MI-410 (Rebranded Huawei IDEOS U9000 X6) - 13K -- Nothing beats this for value for money - 4.1" 800x480 Screen, Qualcomm MSM8255, Adreno 205GPU, 5MP Cam with Flash, 512MB RAM.
HTC Desire (Not S / HD) - 15-16K
Motorola Defy - 15K
If you are ready to consider 'mid range' devices, the range of choices grows a lot. You can then include Galaxy Ace, Wildfire S, ChaCha, Dell XCD35, Huawei U8800 X5. But, if I were to buy a phone today at 15K, I would pick one from the 1st 3. (Inclining more and more to the Spice, but, sadly, there's no section for it at XDA - Yet)

thanks,
is spice (Huawei IDEOS U9000 X6) reliable in terms of hardware and stuff ? i'm not able to get desire for 15-16k (dealers in delhi are quoting around 20k !!!!). i checked out defy but it seems to lag especially while scrolling up and down the screen...
was in dilemma so posted here for help.
The X6 should be reliable, I don't see why not. Besides, it is backed by the normal manufacturer warranty.
Desire was on stock at Flipkart.com for 16.5K but is unfortunately not in stock ATM.
Saholic.com lists the Desire as in Stock though at 15.5K, and, since they are a Spice initiative, the MI-410 is also available exclusively through them online (For 14K - as I stated above). Only thing - You'll have to be comfortable buying a phone online.
For the Defy, I have tested it quite a lot(A friend of mine has it), and, frankly, I haven't felt any lag at all. Then again, maybe its because I have a Wildfire, and everything other than it will feel fast.
Good Luck

Hi, I am looking to replace my GFs Xperia Play with a QWERTY android phone. I have looked about and have landed at the Epic 4g. But I would like to know what the xda community thinks on this. Cost is not an issue. She really doesn't play with custom firmware(although I might). Would prefer a phone that will eventually support ICS(custom or official). Any response would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Malanarth
only Android phones with keyboards physical are Verizon's droid, droid2,3,4(i like droid 4), Verizon has crap stuff Lee lg ally.... crap.... wait u want ics. so droid 4, htc evo shift, dang this is hard.... android ics or custom ics available and physical keyboard....... this is hard. ya know what samsung epic sounds good. i actually thought of getting one myself and putting it on us cellular a way i found online somewhere but found good deal on my electrify

Theres Also The Desire Z But I'm Quite Sure It Won't Be Running ICS
Good Device Though
---------- Post added at 10:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:09 AM ----------
Why Not Go For The Xperia Mini Pro (2011 Version) Its Small (So Perfect For Your GF Fingers) Its Capable (HD Camera, All The Good Features) AND It Will Have ICS On It Soon Enough
Or Go For The Xperia Pro That Has All The Xperia Mini's Features But With A Bigger Screen

Hello,
There is nor Qwerty Keypad phones available right now in the market. A phone should have a good processor like dual core, good RAM about 1GB and other enoung specs a phone should have to run a ICS on a phone smoothly. So, after hearing this you have make your mind to buy Android 2.3 Gingerbread Qwerty keypad phone you can buy HTC ChaCha.There are more other 2,3 Android Qwerty phones available but I have choosen this phone for you. This is a great phone in every specs and has a beautiful design comes in Black, White colours. Specifications- 2.6 Inch Capacitive touchscreen, HTC Sense 2.1 UI, 512 MB RAM, 512 MB ROM, 3G HSDPA upto 7.2Mbps, WiFi, GPS with A-GPS support, Bluetooth 3.0, 5Mega Pixel with Autofocus and LED Flash, Android 2.3 Gingerbread, Secondary VGA camera for video calling and 800 Mhz processor runs very smoothly.
im looking at ZTE Nubia Z5S (NX503A) got some nice specs for 400$ price tag.
5.0 inches, Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 Quad-core 2.3 GHz Krait 400, 2GB ram, 16GB, 13MP camera, andriod 4.2.2 etc..
i have never used android phone before so im hoping u guys can help me. i did some googling and didnt find any roms or any other modifications usually go with a andriod device.
i would like to know if this is a worth buying since this phone only available in china.

Is this phone sold in country, or are you going to import it from china? Because if not, I would not recommend you a chinese phone. If it is defective you'll have a hard time returning it (if you can at all) etc.
Btw, if you come from iPhone, I strongly recommend you Google-listed devices (assume you live in the US, it would be HTC One, Nexus 5, SGS4) that come with the stock Android UI. They are updated as soon Google pushes out updates, which is closer what you experience on the iPhone.
Since chinese phones except for Huawei ones are rarely supported in XDA (they lack documentation, source etc) I would not recommend you a chinese phone if you want to try out new ROMs.
If you are ready to take the risks there you go. But as a first time Android user, no way I would go with that phone.
My recommendation for you is the Nexus 5. Hope this helps.
i have to import from china. im a symbian user im sorry i forgot to mentioned where i live. im from sri lanka and no play store available. no way to get a nexus 5. even if somehow managed get my hands on a nexus 5 it would costs me around 550-600$.

If it has to be a chinese phone then I suggest you the Xiaomi Mi3. Great User Interface (MIUI), great update support and best hardware for little money. Xiaomi is also highley popular, it is being regarded like Apple in china.
Go straight for Nubia, it has the best specs out there and far away the best price. I just order it btw.

Good question, in deed I just got a Nubia z5s 3 weeks ago.
(I used to be a Moto supporter, but got disappointed by Moto's sales policy - however, CDMA users can hardly have so many choices as others. forget HTC, bad quality.)
Somebody mentioned Xiaomi, I don't think it's a good option. Nubia's hardware spec is almost the same as Xiaomi, but Xiaomi's shipment and sales policy will drive you crazy. You have to attend to a luck draw first, then could have a chance to buy one!
Regarding the experience, herein I only talk about my experience.
1. BATTERY:
From 7am to 10pm, medium use, about 75% is consumed.
2. DISPLAY:
Much better than MOTO X :laugh: , 1080p. Also, the color is not so cold as Samsung.
3. VOICE&MESSAGE:
Fairly clear, however the location of Mic is just under USB port. sometimes your finger could swipe it when picking up.
As CM user, very delighted to see vibrate setup in "settings", SMS also designed with popup
4. CAMERA
I didn't test too much. However, the respond speed is satisfying.
5. SOFTWARE
a. I have to acknowledge that the UI design is lower than my expectation, especially the icons. Styles in default apps and system UI are not actually unique. But most Androider will change the launcher at soonest, am I right? (ps. I really hate Samsung's UI and the screen density!)
b. Furthermore, the system compatibility...there's no surprise, also no fetal bugs.
c. Seemed Nubia team learnt a lot from CM team. They just released source CODE on their website.
d. It can be ROOTED easily.
e. Some local team has ported CWM RECOVERY on it. Nice job!
f. It's said MIUI by local team is on the way. Also, some guy is working on its AOSP now.
6. AUDIO
Sorry but I never play songs via cell phone. Somebody has idea?
7. DESIGNING
I spent almost one week to get familiar with the weight - it's too light
8. NETWORK
GSM/TD/CDMA, not sure if it can be used in Verizon network?
In conclusion, it didn't disappoint me. I'd be delighted to see more improvements or 3rd party's works on ROMs in near future.
Guys, is this phone suitable for the dutch network and.if flashed with multi language you can use dutch language?

And do you have Play Store installed?
im still waiting for my phone to arrive, but i have seen CWM and Rooting on official Nubia forums. everything is in Chinese. if someone can translate and post here.
Google play works just install gapps 4.2.2 ( you need google framework )
For the Chinese forums use google translate thats how it works 4 me !
The kingnubia rom is recommended it got it all in 1 rom !
