Cool.. Cool.

True LTE sucks battery... Had to push my Lumia 920 to max 3G instead of 4G but when 4G works, it really is very fast.

I'll try the 1U Sony Store. Any requirements for trade-in? Can I just bring an old crap phone?

1,499 is really a good deal IMO... and yes I agree the hardware camera button is a real plus. Not sure if i can live with a phone without hardware camera button after using Windows Phone..

Scratches as in the sides?

step 8:
Flash latest Sony's firmware (FTF) matching current latest monxDIFIED base rom using flashtools. Uncheck all WIPE options and exclude all EXCEPT KERNEL & BASEBAND to get latest matched kernel & baseband.

bro, the step here. if im running stock 4.2.2, i can skip this?
i cant seem to find the rom's matching baseband info.

Hi. One page over, another person just ask, and I and another user also just reply.

okay. my bad, didnt check back.

thanks for telling me! i'll go read it now

Hehe...

Short answer, you can skip that step.

alright, will be upgrading later if im not back too late from the airport.

else will be tmr then. haha.

what's under Settings -> Personalisation?
saw the screenshot but cant see deeper..

Please read first page, a lot infor there.

I use Titanium Backup, best one out there. Paid version even better

Of course, this backup is useless without root. So make sure you're rooted if you want to use it.

With Monxdified, I'm getting about 5 hours screen time with WhatsApp, messing with settings, surfing the net, etc (8% charge left).  So not too bad really.

With WiFi right? I'm also using monxdified Rom , the 3.61 version, I got around 5 hours also with few percent battery left, compared to 3 hours last time doing the same thing.

WiFi on the whole day, and I had to go out for dinner for about 3 hours and I had mobile data on as well. Getting better battery durations compared to stock.

3g is consuming a lot of battery for me haha,can't even get 3 hours sot if I'm outside.

I have this exact same problem. Anyone has any idea? Thanks
