This looks like a great phone and I'm planning on purchasing it soon. Only £100 on amazon here in the uk for the unlocked version. My main concern is the storage. Many reviews are saying that you only get about 1.2gb and that apps cannot be moved to SDCard. Can anyone that owns the phone tell me if this is actually a really big problem as every other aspect of the phone looks great for the price.
Finally since this phone was just released recently how likely is it that sony might give us official lollipop sometime next year?
The phone ia great . But as it is a budget phone so you will have to compromise for something.. So here The storage is low. If you like to try out new apps then this phone can be a bit irritating for you. But you can root your phone and swap or link ext sd card to int. App 2 sd feature doesn't work for all the apps moreover gapps itself consume lots of space which cannot be moved.and about the update,lollipop can be expected as sony is trying to make this device head turner :cyclops: but cant say anything about software update team of sony :silly: but one major update will be releasesd which will be either 4.4.4 or 5.0 . Two minor updates already rolled out.
If you dont have any problem with swapping or linking storage. Then this device is deal breaker at that price :fingers-crossed: :laugh:

Thanks! Since I have a htc sensation with only about 900mb of storage I've gotten used to keeping things minimal in terms of apps so It wont really be a problem for me and hopefully when root comes out i can make use of the extra space on my SDCard.
Also Im not expecting a super fast phone for the price but is the performance decent for the price? I know kitkat is way less resource intensive compared to previous versions but I've never used one with a sony skin before.
some of apps are movable to sd card but game data etc. are not movable so if you are hardcore gamer who wants to have a lot of games installed on this phone , dont buy this device until root comes out ... its performance is great , i havent expected any lag during normal use like browsing facebook ,being on google chrome etc. , games also run great , i tried Real racing 3 and it ran without problem . But there comes the storage problem .. i wasnt able to install the game with all the content so i couldnt continue playing the game because it wont allow me to download more data ... but if you are not a gamer ( like asphalt 8 , real racing 3 , games bigger than 1gb ...) , the phone is very good for its price and it has nice build quality (no squeaks etc.)
for me its a nice budget phone for people who are not hardcore gamers sorry for my bad english

Sony skin is not that bloated.. but some processes of sony apps eat small amount of ram .And Some apps like sony select or whats new are of no use .! I removed those apps ..! And processor is great .. even 2nd gen moto g has same processor.. Camera is decent (Noise in picture is high in dim lit conditions).. Xperia ui is best.. Simple and minimalistic .And about display , resolution is less but it doesn't matter due to 4.5" screen and IPS dislplay.. Gives you juice of 2-3 days on single charge, :good: :highfive:
Awesome! That settles it looks like im getting this after all Been in need of an update for a long time. My sensation is finally starting to fail me so cant wait xD.
Thanks again for answering my questions.

How did you do that? If i go into Apps there's no unimstall, only Force Stop and Disable.

Use Titanium Backup. !
But titanium backup requires a rooted device and as we all know there is still no root solution for xperia e3.

I have seen other phones that are dual core too, i.e the Evo 3d, motorola atrix, but with 1gb ram. When it comes to gaming, and not just counting the 3d aspect of it. Will the 512 mb of ram be enough to run even upcoming games. Can this device stand newer games that other phones like the htc evo 3d might have no problem handling? Share some thoughts on this. thnx
omfg AGAIN???? :/
512mb are ABSOLUTELY enough!!!
just look at this review
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEE65bNN8mc&feature=player_embedded
8 apps open and phone still fast
While the dual channel technology might bring some small performance benefits, 512MB will remain 512MB.
Current games should be no problem at all, but upcoming games (utilizing the unreal or unity engine for example) will definitely step up in terms of texture amount+resolution and general amount of data (see recent news of Shadowgun for example).
This could become a disadvantage at a certain point, but we´ll have to wait for some hard numbers when the time will come.
But i´m confident that the optimus 3d can keep up at least for 1 year (until we actually experience noticeable performance disadvantages with more advanced and complex games aimed at the Tegra3 Platform and other upcoming chipsets).
I have experienced some lock up'freezing issues when play the included games in 3D. I rooted my phone, so i dont know if its due to that or if its just due to the fact its a developer phone and the software is not final. I still love this phone, very fast and i get 8mb average dl's on Tmo here in the Bay Area(Hayward).
Could someone who has a pre release O3D unit have a look and see how much free ram is available after start-up please? (i'm an android newbie, not sure if this is possible on LG androids in general, without a specific app?) Just wondering how much ram the system leaves you to use....?
Thanks
Ian
i'm confused here...
i was under the impression that the concept here was tri-dual (dual core, dual channel memory, DUAL RAM) resulting in there being 1gb of ram configured as 512mb per core?
is that not what's happening?
It´s supposed to be 256|256 ^^
that's a bit dissappointing then.
however, as has been pointed out, it doesn't seem to affect overall performance much. i can see it being a hinderance to the future longevity o the phone though. a newer-than-gingerbread version of android on the horizon which will undoubtedly demand for higher specs could see this become a problem.
According to the presentation it's supposed to be memory for gpu and memory for system
Has anybody with a pre or final relase O3D managed to find out how much free ram is available after a cold start up please? (i.e no apps/games running, only a task manager) If it's something like 200 - 250mb then that should be ok i guess, HTC seem to think that amount is ok on their sensation, and that started with 768mb..... Sense 3 seems to be a bit of a resource hog, it seems.....
Thanks
Ian
i saw in a videopreview,about 340mb free.

300+meg of free ram is loads and there will probbaly be more if you kill off some of the crappy stock services that you might not need, for example google talk.

hehe, agreed. i'm just fed up of my current phone. too old/not powerful enough for gingerbread and locked bootloader so only a poor port of cyanogenmod with an un-customisable kernel. long overdue time for new toys.

Sounds like you have the motorola milestone
totally.
it's like motorola gave me a gold brick and the punched me in the face every day since.
If an O3D is supplied directly from a network, and comes loaded with their bloatware, will this affect the amount of free ram available?
Thanks
Ian
I must say everybody here complain too much..
I have O3D and till now the only thing that really sucked was that LG didn't
supply Gingerbread in time!
My advice is to root your device and install some RAM manager (like 'AutoKiller Memory Optimizer' and set to "Ultimate" preset).
With the device superb memory processing your device will work better than any device I've seen (and I have Galaxy-S2 also that run not as smooth as my O3D).
Hope it will help someone..
Thanks for the advice, will give it a try.

Seriously...s2 doesn't run as smooth? It has twice the ram and a faster cpu / gpu so it should beat optimus 3D.

Hey Dave,
The fact that S2 have twice the RAM (can have even much more) doesn't metter and the cpu is almost the same, even LG have 'texas instruments' hardware which is very high quality if you familiar.
As long as you have enough free RAM (for this you need only the kind of Memory optimizer app as 'AutoKiller Memory Optimizer') your device run's better than S2. it's a fact, try and see

I would highly recommend against doing that. Most RAM managers simply kill processes until the set amount of memory is free - pretty much preventing all multitasking. Most apps are cached when exited, so they can be quickly switched to later, they usually don't use any battery. Android will close most unnecessary apps by itself if more RAM is required.

Imo, the SGS2 is much smoother than the O3D. Pretty much all games run well on it, while some games such as GTA3 (Full effects enabled + Max view distance) and dungeon defenders don't run that well on the O3d. GPU Overclocking is also possible on the SGS2, but not possible on the O3D - Even if it were, i doubt the already overclocked sgx540 (200 stock > 300mhz) can be oc'd as much as the Mali 400.
The SGS2 is also much more optimized than the O3D - Touchwiz is mostly smooth, even with a Live wallpaper, while the stock LG Launcher seems to be laggy. The camera also doesnt take ages to start up.
Also, im pretty sure most complaints are about battery life. My O3D only lasts around 1-3 hours with screen on - even worse than the DHD.
What are we complaining about?
Battery life
lousy Support from LG
I am still officially waiting in Australia for the gingerbread update
my phone under froyo 10k-j restarted over 20 times a day
under Gingerbread I missed out on phone calls and sms
and the list goes on.....
so please don't go around lecturing us as ungrateful to LG for this wonderful phone that I paid $800 for.
I have switched 2 month ago back to my Iphone 4 as my main phone,
only because of the good Devs at Cyanogen I am now wanting to use the phone more and I am going to make it my main phone again.
LG makes good hardware but the software side of things really sux.
and regarding your recommendation to use task killers to free ram tells me a lot how much you know about android 2.2 and above.

Hi All,
I think you guy's took it much more personally than I meant..
It's just an advice that you can use or choose not to use.
I had some issues with the device speed and after a while I found what I think to be the best setup for the device and I shared my opinion:
1) upgrade to gingerbread (V21a).
2) Root your device.
3) Install 'AutoKiller Memory Optimizer' and set to "Ultimate" preset.
Ever since I did it my O3D work great. and with no offence to big fans of S2 but I think it operate even better since.
Thanks
Hi!
I own a ZTE U950 and I updated to the latest FW, but no matter what game I play, it has small stutterings every 3-4 sec. I tried a lot of games, even Dead Space that should run like butter, but even that has stuttering every 3-4 sec. The FPS is on the roof, but for reasons unknown it still noticeably stutter every 3-4 sec.
I tried everything...installing previous rom, closing all background applications, disabling auto-rotate, disabling wifi, changing powersave settings, but nothing worked.
It is really annoying that I can not get rid of this micro stuttering. Game running like butter, but picture stops for micro of a second every 3-4 sec.
What is the problem? Is it just that ICS is trash? A phone with Tegra 3 quadcore should not have stutterings like these...I get ~13200 points in Antutu. The ICS version is 4.0.4.
Oo...I'm considering this phone can give some real shot of the u950 n some screenshot to me..how bout battery life?

Not counting the problem I have, this phone is awesome, well worth the price.
However there is 1 more big problem: no "good" custom roms yet...there are some Chinese custom roms, but they don't really improve performance (I tried at least 6). With a good custom rom and a "gaming kernel" (like the One X has that unlocks the CPU and GPU to it's max potential) this phone would be a must buy.

Nobody has any idea about my problem ?
op...can share some image shot by the 5mp?
Considering to get one of this.
People reported that it will restart by itself
so it's true?
Got it today ,you must root it and update the rom in order to get rid of some bloatware.secondly there are chinese roms but based on the original so no real tweaking .if a cyanogen was running in this phone was going to be perfect but as i searched on chinese forum most have the basic knoweledge nothing more to build a kernel with mods or aosp .the phone is acceptable for daily usage for its price range.
as for the stutterring on random restart on games consider using the app released for htc one x to minimalise game settings so they can run perfect.i must also remind that the games were not designed for this resolution as most tegra 3 devices have better resolution.

Allright people, time to get this baby, a shop has it on sale for $170 (with free world wide shipping): ZTE U950 $170 Can't beat a price like that for a Tegra 3 device. Hope a dev will pick it up, this thing really needs some home made roms.
lower price
There is another choice for only 155$ at this exact site. :good:

Hi guys,
Im new to this forum and im going to buy my first android mobile. Im thinking to go for xperia j. I've gone through all the specs of this but still im slightly doubtful if this will get lagged after upgrading to JB.
My usage is
Hardcore gamer in pc but not in mobile. Will play in mobile bit rarely.
Heavy browsing and social networking.
App lover.... will install lots of apps.
not a big fan of mobile video recording.
Clicks pictures occasionally.
Does a lot of IM.
So now somebody pleaase tell me if i can go for xperia j. If not, what alternatives do i have.
android 4.1 will bring performance improvements like project butter = Vsync tripple buffering & intuitive touch. the internel memory is only 2gb. & app data partition is 750mb i think but there are ways around that to install more if needed. all other alternative devices like u & sola wont be updated to 4.1 jelly bean. i my self came from xperia ray i find xperia j better. with a few tweak scripts and things its alot faster than when i first got it. hope this clarifies things for you.

No mafter buddy if it will be jelly bean
My friends have problems with this mobile
Also it is of around 300$ still not capable of playing 720p videos
Also it has 480*854 resolution but it has andreno 200 which is quite outdated for this price
Better go for xperia u(no sd card support), xperia go, xperia sola
Samsung galaxy ace 2 these are far better for same price perform 3 times faster than xperia j:victory:
I am also a hardcore gamer on pc
But I use android for playing also when I am not on pc
As it got some exactly same games like pc
Mc3(battlefied 2) max payne 1, GTA vice city etc and the mobiles I suggested u will run these games ultra smooth

which mobile are u using nishuy21??
im not much concerned about 720p videos....thats ok for me.....
i do some serious multi tasking.... n i dont wanna get any lag while i do...this is my major concern..
More cores don't mean better performance my girlfriend has a xperia u and it lags and the screen redrawing is rediculase. I game a lot on my j and the only game it struggled is GTA my Xperia ray did aswell untill I overclocked it to 1.2ghz and then it was fine.
im using this J almost 2 month..
nothing goes wrong so far
wide screen
beauty device , slim elegant
and its cheap
if you want to stay in stock firmware , locked , just use V6 Super Charger make ur J peform better
based 512MB ram , 1GHz single core , i say its not for gaming , but i play a lot game on it LOL
i use EPSX there, lil bit lag only , some HD game , lil bit delay too , but low game , working fine..
if u decided to to unlock bootloader
theres is a Kernel ICS Vengeance overclocked it to 1.3GHz , its fine ofc *main problem cant use the CWM backup/restore*
if you want to use ClockworkMod working 100% just find "adfad666" thread
and CyanogenMod 10.0 jLo fxp 205 so far , its stable for now with sub lil bugs left , just wait till we get full fixed CM 10.0 , and J ready to rock
so far i think J its a cheap but valuable devices to learn new things *since im new on android , still got a lot to learn*
and J its not build to be extreme gaming device imo.
I think yes, this phone is cheap and it does have what you need..
Its around $210 in my country..
And this will be update to JB

I have xperia tipo, galaxy s2
And my friends have xperia go, sola and ace 2 these are best in this price
And u can search a bit at xda u will find xperia j is lagging for some people
And if u are a gamer than u must know the performance difference between single and dual core CPU
Also if u don't care about 720p videos but if u are getting 720p video playback than there should be no problem..
U can compare the review at gsmarena.com of xperia j ,go , sola and galaxy ace2 u will find yourself... The difference:good:
U want multitasking the Mobiles I suggested u above give u better.. Than xperia j
And also galaxy ace 2 has 768mb ram and is also upgradable to jellybean...
Hi,
I was wondering if 3GB RAM version fine on 6PRO? I had Sony XA2 3GB version in the past and it seemed to be fine. Though I like Lot's of windows in my browser and jumping backwards and forwards between 5-7 apps. I don't play games. Use camera a lot. Thanks.
I think 3 GB is good enough to you.
Redmi 4 Prime for about 2 years with 32GB was ok
now 2 years later I got RN6pro with 32GB, no need for more,
for your preferences it is ok too, I believe
Thanks : ) Do apps refresh a lot on the phone? One thing I hate mroe than anything to have content on the ap pto be refresh everytime I come back to it.
but most of the apps are google playstore apps ?
that has nothing to do with phone roms,
I don't use many Xiaomi apps
The one I am intending to buy is UK version form local shop. So, yes it's google store. And some bloatware on top. Unfortunately I didn't mod phones.
I feel paying a bit more for 64gb and 4gb is a reasonable choice
