My apn settings restore automatically 99% of the time after every ROM flash.

If they don't there are always APN savers on the Play Store.

Just picked up the SONY Experia U, $277au unlocked
Upgraded from my Nokia E71 and straight off I can say 3G works like it should now.

Still need some more time with it but really like it.
Also nice to see a screen protector in the box.

Sony products are really good.

They tend to be slow starters see Xperia X10 - it was still pretty good, but they've improved MARKEDLY ever since the Arc etc.

Will be getting one next year hopefully.

Always quality products, Sony.

SONY improved the second they bought out Ericsson. The new Experia team are doing wonderful things.

Also I adore the girly light strip

Ive just changed to an Xperia s from a Galaxy Nexus and am very happy with the change, the screen is one of the best ive seen and the camera is epic. Only thing i dont like is 3 buttons at the bottom i find myself tapping them more than once im currently looking into loading a custom rom to use the same button layout found on the galaxy nexus.

Does yours hang up during calls due to you hitting the 'end' key since the proximity sensor does not make the screen go off?

So my student loan finally came in and I've got my hands on the HTC One X at last..just been setting it up and getting apps and updating software.

Can't actually use the phone for a couple of days because I had to get my number transferred from my old network.

Veeeerry happy with my purchase so far, this phone is a beast.

ASUS is unveiling the Padfone 2 next month and it looks like it may actually have north american 3g bands this time around.

leaked pics show 4.7" 720p, LTE, Quadcore Snapdragon S4 Pro, 2gb ram, 13mp rear shooter and a 1.3mp on the front of the phone itself this time around.

My GS3 is worried and she should be

Yeah, I was having that issue with it. I went through two Xperia P's with that problem so I swapped the P with the S and had the same issue. After that, I just gave up on it (returned it to Amazon.)

I've decided to stick with iPhone because of that. Xperia was the only Android phone I really liked. I love the design of it.

Well, I got my unlimited data back .

I upgraded my BackFlip from Motorola to a Samsung Galaxy Note. I'm surprised by how much ram it uses. I have only downloaded around 6 app and the ram 500mb/720mb of usage. Is there way to lower that immensly?

[NARCsnake]

iv been wondering about that phone iv got the inspire 4g an i love it very reliable
but i bet my bill is 2x cheaper than yours

Never had that problem I can practically see the screen go off when I place it next to my ear, I've had the X10, Ray and now Xperia S
in fact the only problem I do have is when you other person hangs up and the call is still going but the screen remains off sometimes
But thats only on the S
I say the proximity sensor works fine as I have that wave to silence app

No issues with the screen on my SXU. Still need to play with it more to work out what kind of battery life ill be dealing with.
Stand by seems to chew up 1% an hour.

It manages itself, don't worry about it.
If you're that anal then disable any system apps you don't want, but there's no need.
Out of interest, how come you didn't wait a few weeks for the note 2?

Smaller phone, smaller battery.
First thing I did was update the thing
1 Day 3hrs and 70% battery left, I did use facebook and msn at work tho. The more you make it do the faster the battery gets eaten.
I won't be using it as a music player as I have a red Walkman to go with my black and red MDR-V55s.

It happened with my Xperia too much where it got annoying. After it happened, the software would go into what I started calling 'berserk' mode. That happened both with the P & the S. It was very annoying.

Sony has released or is releasing an updated version of the S, called the SL. I thought about getting that but changed my mind because of what I experienced.

I also had the same issue as you where the screen wouldn't turn back on after a call sometimes....

Possible but it happened to me three times with their phones so I just gave up....

Maybe not smosh the phone against your face? If I experience anything ill let you know.

[mickice]

On a recent inspection of my SONY touch tablet S, I can see a yellow ish glow to the botton.
Its only small, but its definitely there :/ Eh.

I held the phone just like do my iPhone 3GS. The 3GS didn't have that issue.

I didn't know much about the Galaxy until I saw it for the first time at my warehouse store. It was being sold for a cheap price when upgrading; $150. Probably by my next upgrade I'll the next Galaxy Note but so far I love it. I just wish I knew more about it.
