Samsung is indeed the king of android devices at the moment, we all know that and they've come up with some very good devices. But having one company monopolise market share is always a bad thing, which is why companies like HTC, Sony, etc have to step up and provide phones that can compete against Samsung. Healthy competition benefits the consumers, and Google too!

according to the source below (docomo xperia z kernel?) xperia z (stock rom?) supports ext4 but not exfat

SOURCE

forumners on xda reported they only able to use 64gb micro sd card if its fat32 formatted, unable to read if its exfat format

64gb sd support?

does note 2 support support exfat in stock rom or need custom rom?
*
Note2 support exFat by default on stock ROM.
In other words..Note2 support both exFat and Fat32 sdcard. hmm.gif

I prefer our local user who actually do have the phone in hand to review on the phone. More neutral and accurate for our daily usage as so many biased reviews coming from overseas.

is it a standard that 64gb micro sd cards come factory formatted extfat?

while the smaller size like 32gb comes fat32 formatted? is this the reason why sony has been saying xperia z supports only up to 32gb since they can only read cards that are fat32 format?
*
Yes..at the moment all 64GB sdxc comes with default exFat formatted. You need to reformat the sdcard into Fat32 if you want to use it for your XperiaZ.
Same issue with Butterfly..after reformat, i can use the 64GB sdxc in my Butterfly without problem.

Any recommendation for a 64gb card?

Most users buy Sandisk for the 64GB sdxc.
For 32GB..i prefer Kingston.

These are screenshots of alternative wallpapers - these look much better than the default whose greyish tone gives it a washed out look

I still waiting for someone to unveil the mystery of whether the sony logo is baked on the body or the shatter sheet. Many claimed that the logo on the shatter sheet was only for pre build unit n not the retail one. If this is confirm, i just wana take it off.

What would be nice if Sony and other manufacturer take out of the HTC One is by implementing front facing dual stereo speakers. I am surprised it took them that long to even have it on a tablet, let alone the HTC One.

Even laptops... I find it stupid how so many have speakers below the keyboard, pointing down.. My ears are up here... not down there in my balls...

Samsung Note 10.1 already have a dual front stereo speakers since August 2012.
