AGPS = real GPS + other stuff. Its actually better than just GPS.
Surur
A HTC device with 'HW 3D graphics"?! Nice. FM radio too?
You had me at 'hello'.
From what I read in different articles, the hardware specifications of the Xperia X10 and the Xperia Arc are almost the same. (Camera 8.1 MP, HD Video frame rate, etc) The Arc is what the X10 should have been. According to Google, there are no hardware limitations for running Android 2.3, aka Gingerbread. What if you let SE do all (or most) of the work for you? If the Arc is almost identical to the X10, then surely the final released firmware version by SE for the Arc, could be ported to the X10 by just tweaking the firmware in some way or the other? (To make the software of the Arc thinks it's on the Arc, but actually X10 running and functioning the same as the Arc). As this is not my field of expertise, would something like that be possible?
Has anybody attempted to record live broadcast on this device either using Spirit UL or other 3rd party dedicated method (like stereomix)?
Sony Xperia models can use Recforge app, Samsung have it naturally integrated. I never had HTC before so I can't really compare with other models. Am interested in this phone but can't buy before completely being sure it can record live OTA FM in high enough quality and most important in Stereo!
Would appreciate your help kindly.
Hey Guys
I have a Sony Bravia W700B series TV and a Sony Xperia Z3.
Before I had the Z3 I had a Z1, which connected seamlessly with the TV when making use of the Throw or mirroring options.
Then, on the same day I got my new Z3, my TV did an update and now mirroring doesn't operate smoothly.
That is if it connects at all. It's usually a few tries, even a reset later of both the TV and the phone. When it does connect, sound is out of sync and big gaps of the streaming video just doesn't make it to the TV.
Because the TV updated on the same day as I got my new phone, I dont know which is the culprit.
If anybody can help I would appreciate it do much.
Thank you,
Johann

Nobody seems to have this... One person had issues with a Samsung TV, but then it resolved after an update... So it's likely my TV...

Hi there,
I just tried my w850 and it doesn't even want to connect, my previous Z1 had no problems connecting to the TV, the Z3 see's the TV but won't connect. I am just downloading a firmware update for the TV and will try it again once that has finished. I will test the Z1 and the Z3 to see if it is a phone issue rather than the TV.
I will try a w700 later today, which I had issues with the sony throw software with Xepria Z and Z1 playing raw video from the movies app.
Edit;
Throw works well with w850 and my old Z1, I couldn't get it to work at all with the Z3, it just displayed a message saying that it was preparing.
Screen mirroring worked well on both phones, maybe the Z3 seemed a little more laggy moving around the screens, however when playing youtube videos there was no issue and the video and audio was in sync, tested wifi and wifi direct (my wifi is wireless AC so heaps of bandwidth).
Edit2; tried my other w800 sorry thought it was the 700, had all sorts of issues using throw after I first enabled it, however after restarting the phone, it worked fine as the Z1 did previously, shipped videos did not play using throw from the movies app. Youtube videos played fine with no syncing issues.

Thank you for all your trouble. Last night my phone also worked fine, no idea why or how but it did. Maybe I reset it at some point and that solved it for me too. Thank you for checking...

My problem is back. I tested it tonight with my friend's Z3 and it had the same problems, so even though the problem could be Z3 wide it's not specific to my unit. The sound is 5 seconds or so out of sync and big bits of streaming media simply doesn't make it to the TV from the phone. It stutters and is basically unusable. The steaming function worked perfectly with my Z1 but my TV did an update and I got a new phone at the same time and since then I can't throw from my z3 to my w700. Anybody with this issue?

I'm having pretty much the same problem with my Z3, and my fiancé's Z3 compact. It'll connect to my W850A, but it stutters like crazy, and keeps disconnecting.
Nexus 4, Nexus 5, LG G2, And Z2 tablet works fine.

I tried it on my Roku, it works fine, can't use my TV (LG 47" from 2011) as it doesn't support Miracast. So if you are having issues it might be the TV's firmware.
So are you using wifi direct? or connecting to the TV via a wifi router?
@Johann_London and @shilent have you tried restarting your phone to see if that clears up the problem?
It's connecting directly to the TV... So no router involved and it's using Miracast. The guy above is also having the same issue with his Z3...and compact. So its looking like an issue on the Z3's side... Wish I still had my Z1 to test it. It's really annoying cos the feature is pretty much unusable now. And it's been months. Sony need to sort their stuff out... How can they want to be wanting a bigger chunk of the market if they let you down so badly and for so long?

Thank you for checking. Super annoying. My Z1 was fine... Maybe if Sony stopped churning out too many phones a year with too little time to perfect each one and rather just introduced one, working flagship a year it would be better for us all. And yes I read, that is what will be happening after the Z4...

Agreed, the support for the phones dies too quick. Sony have worked out finally because of their sales, that release cycle does not work, because few people are going to slash out $600+ every 6 months for a phone every 12 months could be Christmas and a lot of people have the product on contract so can't update until that expires.
I have a Z1 as well, so will continue testing it to see if I can get my phones to stutter the same.
I have the same issues with my Z3 Compact like Johann_London.
Sometimes my telephone reboots and I have to pull out the power cable of the TV because it shows no reaction anymore. TV is Sony KDL-40R485B...
Does anyone have a solution for that problem?
Working very well on Z3 Lollipop and Bravia KDL-60W630B. Brighthouse TV App, Slingbox and 4K recorded video from the phone is stutter free. It seems to take a little time to settle down but working fine after a few minutes.

Hi! I have Bravia KDL 32W 700B and the same problem while mirroring using my z1 compact music play like scratched cd and screen tears in between like half becomes black and with weird patterns.
But i found a way to reduce it, i think sony tv has problem with 5ghz band.
As I switch off one touch mirroring and wifi direct it works normal. I can't complain to sony engineers because they are pathetic they even don't tv has wifi direct or not.
Hey guys.
Is there any way to gain Over the Air FM functionality back on the xperia xz?
Xperias cheaper than the xz have it but sony decided to remove an essential feature from a pricier device... And they wonder why they aren't making profits.
They have removed a whole bunch of features from the XZ unfortunately. Not much you can do about a hardware change like that.
Can always listen to the online version or via an app.
Not sure it's removed, just suppressed. I believe all the Qualcomm chips have this functionality built in. I realize this doesn't solve the problem, just adding to the conversation.

With the development being what it is, there isn't really much that can be done about it. Online radio isn't really pocket friendly. Data plans ain't cheap here.
