old thread still relevant lah

i charge usually take 1.5-2 hours

I agree ORI set has its advantages usually because of the warranty service by the manufacturer.

For AP set you have to make sure your seller has good reputation and reliable.

My opinion is if you buy Neo V, and realized u needed that exmor tech, you'll switch to a new phone next 1-2 weeks later (maybe). If you think you can survive without it because you can handle shooting pictures in low light, then maybe you'll wait after ICS update then you'll change?

I can understand my usage, and doesn't have to switch phone too often like less than a year.

Generic MK16i (Pro) 4.0.2.A.0.62 (1251-0386) (Android 2.3.4)

Here is new firmware for XPERIA Pro (it is QWERTY keyboard layout). Flash it via Flashtool.

You can root it via RooXperia.zip file (your phone must hawe unlocked bootloader).

I am pretty happy with the current tweaked and modded gingerbread in my phone. There are menu shortcuts, memory tweaks, usb support etc.

With ICS, i'll need to start from all over again. Once the developer releases the necessary binaries just like gingerbread, then I'll move to ICS.

why don't you search garage sale/mobile section?

I bought mine from x132755 , very good seller

Stuck at SE logo? You have removed battery before doing fastboot?

If someone can start sharing his/her home screen would be great. I never seen Pro's home screen looks like.

it can't.

video call supported with google talk.

Correct

I was hoping 3G voice calling will be supported but i just keep waiting

Don't be that sad. The front camera does very useful.

Look at the broader perspective. If you rely on 3D video call then the person that u're calling also need to have the same capable hardware too. I am pretty happy to Google talk with my family using my Neo. The other side doesn't need to have 3G video phone as well. Just an Internet connection, webcam, Google account and computer then it'll work. 3G doesn't really that reliable especially in some parts in Sarawak. Enjoy bigger video on bigger computer screen.

Again its all depends on how you use your resources .. btw I am using Digi smartplan.

Pretty happy with my Neo now. O/C it to 1.2GHz, adding support to swap memory and multitasking/gaming issss much better. Its camera really a gem with dedicated button, custom settings and low-light sensors. Combined with some good apps from the market, there are a lot of possibilities that you can do with this phone. Feel free to experiment and explore

i believe there's not much different with the recent update (.42 to .62)... i think its merely a few bugfix rather than a major one.

NeoV should have same features like Neo, only the camera is 5MP ... and yup, no Exmor R technology for neo V.

also NeoV has micro-HDMI, Ray none.

Mine is not hot and battery usage is fairly almost the same with the stock. Its hot only when I pay games or load heavy tasks.

i think my experience depends on the kernel and the governor involved. I've tried a kernel with 1.4GHz at boot and its make the phone quite hot. I think its the extra voltage that contributed the extra heat and this also to make it stable.

The kernel supports OC but using stock speed at boot. I set it manually to 1.2GHz and didn't mess up with the voltage. Its stable enough and I've using it a few weeks already.

I wonder if can partition the disk space and RAM with Windows Harddisk manager

I tested with more 'RAM', there a huge performance boost can be enjoyed with this phone

cannot lar partition memory just like computer. I tried to get free ram as much as possible by maintaining minimal service/program in the background.

Now I've tried NightElf kernel with swap support. I can load large game/program with it and become more multitasking. Some program doesn't need to be automatically killed to free memory; are loaded into swap memory, just like in Windows. I am very happy with the current setup.

I use this free program for swap: https://market.android.com/details?id=org.a...ft.free.swapper

I had to take out V6turbocharger, because it won't work properly with the kernel and swap.

hobby ma haha

Yes need root and unfortunately unlocked bootloader too because you have to install custom kernel.

If I found good stuffs for Pro, I will definitely share it here bro

The best so far ...
NightElf kernel mod for Neo .42/.62 - enables swap memory, USB-OTG, NTFS, EXT3,EXT4, overclocking up to 1.8GHz. This kernel sets default governor at ondemand and stock CPU voltage,speed at boot. Hence, this kernel saves battery like normal even though I overclocks a bit at 1.2Ghz which doesn't feel extraordinary hot.

My favourite games are Real Racing 2 and Street Fighter 4, so 300MB RAM is not enough and had to swap memory to virtual. Extra fps can be gained by overclocking.

I am a heavy internet user and need multitask. When I switch apps, Opera does not need reload, or other apps killed to free memory.

Battery drain is not a big problem as I also have a 4800mAh battery bank every where I go

I think the best only starts from you root your phone
