If you can get one for cheap I definitely recommend it. To me, the CM9 builds we have are all complete besides those minor little niggles like TV out. Our ICS is freaking fast!!! But all of this would not be possible without jt1134 and bhundven. Man I love those guys lol. Anyways, yes its worth it

If you have the chance to get something better then definitely do it. This phone is better than nothing but I can't wait to get some cash and upgrade

Hi Nathan
Please review my signature links and PM me for further questions.
I put my goal to make SGS4G have all the possibilities SGS i9000 has in terms of full Hebrew UI.
I think SGS 4G is an amazing device for its price and is still very much rocking. SheYihYe BeHatzLaCha anyway.

It depends what you prefer. (screen size, weight, size etc.)
In general it is still a good platform and wont be outdated so fast.
Sony Xperia Z1 maybe worth a look.

Maybe take a look on Nexus 5 or Moto G (available from 21 november)

The s4 would be sufficient for your needs, but keep a look out for the nexus 5 which may release in India sometime soon for around 28,999 INR.(16GB ver) .

Sub par touch sensitivity

Since the day 1, my XL has low touch sensitivity.... I ve a screen guard on, but that should b no problem.....
Previously, i owned a Xperia Tipo.
The touch sensitivity in tipo was definitely better.
In XL, it is so bad that its been hampering the user experience...i m on 4.1.2 right now....
I ve to literally press the screen....i responds to the screen just under the fingernail., but not to the skin on fingertip... This has affected multitouch too.... The multi-touch is four finger.. Fine....but the sensitivity...
Its making me feel bad
What should i do.... Anyone else facing the same issue ???? Please help me.
Sent from my Xperia L (C2104)

known issue with XL. if you don't wanna live with it return the phone or try an app called SGS Touchscreen Booster sometimes it helps.
if the phone is under warranty try that as well.

Does CM11 have some sort of magic power ?
As far as problems with touch it appears to be HW issue with some phones. How do you propose CM11 will fix that ? I and I guess many here are really dying to hear your response.

Sony care guy asked me to get all the accessories of phone + the box
.....he ll send it back n get a new piece.... Lets c what happens... Going there in 1.5 hrs

No I am not, I'm using 2105. Know people that do/did and just like you they had to send in their phone to get it exchanged which really does mean that it is a HW issue.
I just get pissed when some people on this forum spread false information like the case of Andro.Catalyst suggesting that CM11 will fix something that obviously not even Sony can fix without exchanging the phone or having their tech do something HW related with it.
Behavior like that shown by Andro.Catalyst should result in at least 3 weeks ban, hell even more would be right. Too much "wishing" and outright lying in this forum, most likely because many of users are under 12 years old or so it seems.

All these issues in xl are software related, which will be fixed in Cm11. But don't believe me. Cm11 is coming in few days. Try it yourself.

They'll definitely send you a new one, but that'll also have the same hw,sw so same bugs. I think it's kernel related thing. Which will be sorted out in next sw update. So wait for it.

I hope what u say is right... But still, if I want a bugless stock rom, then there is no go
If Sony is gonna fix it with a software update, it's fine... But it does not explain why half of XL's are working just fine with the older firmwares
Anyways I dropped the phone off at Sony Care..... Today is Saturday... Estimated delivery date is Tuesday...
If the new phone has same problem, then I ll send that back too..... If they deny, then I ll have to go to consumer court.... Cuz we as customers deserve well functional phones
I ll keep this thread updated

I also used to have that problem on 4.1.2 but since updating to 4.2.2 my touch screen has been a lot better, not perfect, but better. It probably is a software issue which a recently certified update may fix.

U are under warranty, then take it to Sony Care..... We deserve a perfectly functional touch rather than a touch screen that is just "better"
...if the previous Software is plagued, then why do considerable amount of XL's are working just fine. ???

Optimus f7 thread?

Where is it? Can't find it. Does it exist? I'm interested in buying it but not sure yet. Another question, if I buy it locked from amazon can I use it without a plan aka phone service? I'm planning to use it strictly for wifi/gps. As a tablet. Anyone know?

from a quick search it looks like it does not have a forum on XDA, but androidforums has one. as for the 2nd question, you are able to use it without a phone service and still use the wifi/gps.
i would recomend getting a moto g instead if your not going to use it for service. its $100 less on amazon but the F7 beats its specs by a little. theres a bigger display on the F7, bigger battery, better CPU (Dual core 1.5ghz vs quad core 1.2ghz) better Camera and expandable storage (MicroSD) while the moto g punchs the F7 with a Higher ppi (pixels per inch) and a hugely better GPU and will be updated to higher versions of android and has a active community on XDA.

Thanks. But they cost the same (200 dollars) on Amazon. So being "locked" won't make it unusable? It HAS to have a external micro sd card slot. So the moto g is not a good choice to me. I love love everything about the moto g EXCEPT the fact that it doesn't have the external sd card. So it has to be between the optimus f7 or optimus g. Both 200 dollars on amazon. Here's the link

When it means "locked" it means its locked to the carrier, but since its boost mobile you can most likely use it on sprint. As for the price, the moto g is $99 on Verizon (amazon) and $129 on boost mobile (amazon)

But the thing is that I don't plan on connecting it. I plan to use it strictly as a wifi only device. So being unlocked or locked doesn't matter if I don't plan on connecting it with a phone plan? Sorry for asking. For example would it matter if I got the cheaper prepaid moto g or the more expensive unlocked version?

I totally know what you mean mate, you are able to use any android device just for WiFi without a data plan,( it might prompt you to activate it but you can just ignore it) if you bought one of them you will be able to use it just like your using your galaxy player 4.2. I was only telling you the carrier info just in case you want to use it in the future

Worth buying it now?

Hey guys!
Is it worth buying the sw2 now? I heard that it had some issues at release with the button on the side and the stability of the firmware. Did it improve in newer firmwares? Is it worth using it with the xzu for quick replying on whatsapp ? Is a sw3 planned? I would appreciate any help. Thanks guys ! I am not sure if I should buy one but actually I really would like to. Just want to be 100% sure if its worth.

I have 2 of these Sony's and as much as they have niggles (hardware and software) they only cost £70 each. I couldn't resist the Android Wear so purchased the LG G Watch for more than the price of both Sonys. The LG is going back to Google.
Pro's and Con's of all these devices so only you can decide what's right for you.
But until the beautiful Moto 360 is out, the Sony will be my choice of wrist gadget.

Yes, specially i think most shops around the world they dropped the price of Sony Smartwatch 2, It may not be the coolest and latest watch to date but it got a lot of available apps, better battery life than any smartwatch out there(except Pebble), Design is one among the best,
All of Android Wear LG G Watch and Gear Live(and maybe Moto 360) they don't last more than 1 day, and both of them require lots of swiping to do something.

I think I am going to Buy it next week. Very excited!

I got mine already and it is amazing!! The funny thing is that I went to a random bestbuy store in a random mall and I asked a random person and she was like: oh a Sony smartwatch? We have those right over there! Then I went there and was shocked when I saw that there was only 1 left and it was in the right color and had a metal band xD still can't believe it lol!

Please don't buy this watch i've Sony SW2 and also Samsung Galaxy Gear. Absolutely i can say real SMART watch is Galaxy Gear, SW2's only name called SMART actually its totally dumb, if buy SW2 you got only some changeable wallpaper and watch face. But If buy Gear (not Gear 2) you will got real smart watch, you can develop android apps and you can run apps without phone. SW2, except some very limited things nothing can do without smart phone, because all apps installing and running on the phone. But with Galaxy Gear, you can transfer APK files directly to watch and you can run this APPs on the watch without phone. With Gear you can develope android apps and install them on Gear directly.

Absolutely i can say real SMART watch is Galaxy Gear, SW2's only name called SMART actually its totally dumb, if buy SW2 you got only some changeable wallpaper and watch face. But If buy Gear (not Gear 2) you will got real smart watch, you can develop android apps and you can run apps without phone. SW2, except some very limited things nothing can do without smart phone, because all apps installing and running on the phone. But with Galaxy Gear, you can transfer APK files directly to watch and you can run this APPs on the watch without phone. With Gear you can develope android apps and install them on Gear directly.

If you were SMART enough you would've read the bottom line of his post and you would know that he has a xperia z and not a Samsung device so a galaxy gear ain't gonna work
AND pretty much all galaxy gears get sold with the tizen OS on it and that can't do the things you mention and of course you can spend your time on downgrading the watch to android but again something like a watch should work out of the box
