BRAVO BRAVO LOVE THE RESULTS

SebastianP. • 11 years ago

Mine Xperia T reaches between 6500-6600 points :D Full stock, without root.Pretty amazing. On ICS I had between 5700 Points, so it is quite a difference!:D

Mr Williams • 11 years ago

I got 6500 on quadrant...ICS I scored 5600 I was like WOOOW

Hasnain Maec Abbas • 11 years ago

is there anyway of changing the Phonebook and Messages back to BLACK colour? i dislike the new white

Silas Arentsen • 11 years ago

No you can't

Sandun Siribandu • 11 years ago

Thanks for the Screenshots... Now I can't wait anymore... C'mon SONY bring it to my TX...

yinle • 11 years ago

Looks great!

ze_raketes • 11 years ago

No Stamina Mode?

silasje1 • 11 years ago

No sadly.

ze_raketes • 11 years ago

Can't understand why...it's just software :(

Silas Arentsen • 11 years ago

don't understand either. No 3D camera or stamina mode. Such a shame, even the Xperia S has a 3D camera :S

Ambroos • 11 years ago

3D camera was dropped with the Xperia T since I think MHL doesn't support 3D over HDMI. It also just didn't work very well :P Stamina Mode is one of the few unique selling points of the Xperia Z software-wise, so they won't be backporting that. Understandable in my opinion.

Xlash Andraid • 11 years ago

when Xperia Z comes out, I'm sure XDA will work in a port of stamina and 3D camera for Xperia 2012 line.

Akshay Gupta • 11 years ago

Nah XDA won't. Did you see any port of the power management thatwas there for the XP users? I so hope it happens but for now being pessimistic is the right thing.

Guest • 11 years ago

does it at least have the old power management that was on T (extended standby mode)?

Silas Arentsen • 11 years ago

yep it has

Guest • 11 years ago

just got the jb on my T. looks decent. gotta check out the features and how it works overall

Kalyan • 11 years ago

What do u mean by " even the xperia s "?? Xperia S is a great phone...

Silas Arentsen • 11 years ago

that this phone is released later, so you can expect to be at least at good or have the same features from previeus phones

Ziich • 11 years ago

coz the z needs software that lets it stand above and beyond the other older models. e.g. sgs3 n note 2 wit the split screen functionality

ze_raketes • 11 years ago

I don't agree!! Xperia Z stands out in every single aspect with its hardware...doesn't need software for that...

And if you include new software functionality in the existing models (which have lower prices) you can atract more costumers.

Ziich • 11 years ago

let me ask you this then would you still want the z if it ran the same software that the s ran when i came out? i.e gingerbread

ze_raketes • 11 years ago

Off course not!
But that wasn't my point! In that case you were reducing functionality in the Xperia Z.

My point is making all the phones attractive in terms off software with the latest versions and they can be distinct with their hardware...

Ziich • 11 years ago

and you are missing my point. Hardware is not enough. I am all for newer feature on older phones but the xperia z should have functionality that differentiates it from previous xperia devices. just putting in better hardware is not enough.What would justify me buying an xperia z when the xperia s will do everything that the z can do(but slightly slower)? It is all about the entire experience. The overall phone experience should be improved compared to an older device for example take a look at the sgs3 compared to the sgs2 has a lot more features in addition to better hardware despite both of them being able to run jelly bean. Hardware is important but unique device only feautres matter. it os what will make the xZ stand out

ze_raketes • 11 years ago

I understand your point but the hardware (not only CPU+RAM+GPU) is totally different which makes the experience totally different!

Much bigger screen, a lot more pixels, BE2 (and this is software but makes sense to be exclusive since the GPU and the screen is different), the new RS sensor, HDR video, burst mode, water prof, more compact and beautiful design...and so on...

I agree they have to have some differences but Stamina Mode is a software thing that (supposedly) improves battery and I don't think this should be a differencing feature!

Laci • 11 years ago

What phone you have? In xperia T alredy exist an option for extend your batery's life, named "extended standby mode", use it, Its almost the same as Stamina mode.

ze_raketes • 11 years ago

Extended standby mode doesn't kill backgroup apps like Stamina mode!

It's not even close to be the same....

Ziich • 11 years ago

It is one of the major selling points of the device that Sony is pushing it as such. for example when Apple brought out Siri on the 4s even though it is just software and the older devices are more than capable of running it Apple never pushed it to those devices because it was a major selling point. The same thing with s voice and the other 'smart' features like pop up play and smart stay on the s3. It is software that you will not find on the s2. I think Stamina Mode will be the same case here. It is something that has not been seen on any other phone.

Sor • 11 years ago

I have a similiar feature on my Xperia V called "extended standby mode". It's just not as advanced as on the Xperia Z

Ziich • 11 years ago

i am well aware of it. my s3 has a power saving modes as well but it is not as extensive. neither of them can dramatically increase battery life like stamina mode claims to do which is why i said it has not been seen on any other phone

Guest • 11 years ago

yeah but, the S/ T/ V were all a bit of a flagship at some point of time. so is sony terribly confused with their strategy ?

maxiobor • 11 years ago

Did it delete all your data when updating from 4.0 to 4.1, or it was like an update for Xperia P from 2.3 to 4.0 that didnt delete anything?

Silas Arentsen • 11 years ago

It didnt delete anything. Although i did factory wipe to be sure It will be running good.

bill • 11 years ago

is there any option for burst mode?

Guest • 11 years ago

also, upto 7 home screens, and you can cut it down to one too.

lovebmw • 11 years ago

anyone loosing signal after the update? i have noticed it 4 - 5 times so far!

ventage • 11 years ago
