try install alternative camera app.
im now on Focal ( from cynogenmod, faster load and easier control ) and Lenovo Super Camera ( better than stock Xperia C camera in all ways  nod.gif  )

For me the resolution isnt an issue, only that the internal memory always near full.
now is < 100mb  sad.gif
waiting to root to remove bloats but cannot seem to find the adb ( usb debugging ) , anyone ?  notworthy.gif
*
i notice that we will definitely have an issue with memory storage, either now or in the future
bcoz cache is stored in internal storage and it goes up with the number of app that we installed
even if we have 1000apps installed in SD card, but the cache will pile up in internal storage
later on, the memory will be full cry.gif

see the baterry consume by your screen then you will know, or just multiply the hour of usage with the percentage consumed by screen will give you SOT. Or google will givr you more details.

Btw guys,anyone wanna let go his/her xperia C? Please pm me if wanna sell tongue.gif prefer white or purple smile.gif
*
battery consumption is vary depends on how long u let your screen on
but i've used it with average condition like call, sms, FB, browsing online and WIFI during night and the battery can last for 2 days
yes, seriously, its 2 days.

full charge at 6.00am in the morning, used it casually and i got it 60% at 10.00pm
continue next day its ~10% at 11.00pm
if the screen is off, the battery is drop only by 1% per night. not per hour.

new one around 839 now. ori set. if still couldnt get used set i will get it by december for my sister smile.gif
*
normally price for low end phone doesn't differ much between new and 2nd hand unit
just like galaxy grand quattro, new is RM839 and 2nd hand is RM780 shocking.gif
sony xperia go new one is around RM600 but 2nd hand is RM500+-
thats why i prefer new set for low end phone biggrin.gif

i just check mudah,
used set also around 800
price not much differ with new set
go for new set lar, with warranty

i concern about the camera quality , and disadvantage of this phone, anyone?
*
camera quality is quite average but quite terrible if low-light
but if compared to other model in similar price range, i can assume its one of the best nod.gif

disadvantage, is storage sad.gif
even though u can transfer your app to memory card, there is still cache piling up in your internal memory
eventually it will be full with your call logs, sms data, whatsapp data, FB cache, youtube cache and etc...

Is the phone has any problem?

with the market price around rm800, i could same few hundred for buying the PSP and enjoy the playstation mobile on it..

any recommend? I am a duo user.
*
i highly recommend this phone instead of grand duos
battery standby is 2 days
best record of mine is 2 days 12 hours with everything is ON except bluetooth
heavy usage (when i use waze for whole day to drive in Shah Alam) is drop from 100% to 40% within a day
i am more than satisfied for the battery consumption

the weakness is, camera is not good as other high end phone but still comparable to grand duos
for casual usage, i think its should be OK
the most disturbing is the internal memory.
with 4gb, and free space of 1gb, u will have problem with apps installed because the cache is stored in the phone memory
even if u move to SD card, there is still few MB will left in the phone.
after tons of app installed, memory will be full.

So far my biggest problem is when i shutdown or connect the phone to PC, the apps arrangement in the home menu is reset.so i have to arrange it again.

what i love about this phone is its battery. can easily survive 2 days without charging with minimal usage.
*
this is not phone problem
this is actually app problem
do u use App2SD?

if u use App2SD, it will specifically mention any apps that will have problem when u boot and use as USB storage
in this case, "boot" means shutdown or restart, and "use as USB storage" means whenever u connect the phone to PC

I'd read from GSM arena....someone said u could root it and reallocate the space of it so it could become something like 8G

By the way, thanks for your info which make me feel ease to get this phone. AS I am using P770 now which in overall doesnt show much different but adding extra screen, core and playstation mobile.
*
i m not sure on that "root" parts therefore i can verify on what they said
but when it comes to "root", it is a customize therefore user experience will be also different
it is better to compare phone with standard feature for easier understanding

however, i personally feel that is not possible for a rooted software to change a hardware with 4GB memory into 8GB memory. sounds illogical.

never use App2SD before. just installed it..so where can i see the apps that will have problem when i boot. i can see
movable(10) , SD Card(51), unmovable(3). so do i need to move all to sd card?
*
movable = u can move the apps from internal memory to SD card
SD card = the apps are already in SD card
unmovable = it cannot be moved. it will be permanently in internal memory

check every apps with a logo X at the bottom of the icon
hold that icon and then select "lower right icon?"
it will explain what kind of problem that app have

Seems the same
When i charge using other charger and powerbank, it doesnt go above 80% , only with ori can full charge with no problem

seems so, seems its for all xperia c sad.gif

btw saw that sony releasing AOSP for few xperia devices for 4.4
doesnt seem ours would b lucky thou
*
i dont think its happen to all xperia C, might be most of it but not all.
mine was perfect and can charge normally even without original charger
for your info, my original charger and earphone is still in the box, un-touched.

i am charging using my 2years old bluetooth earphone charger but it takes more than 3 hours to get it full charge
maybe due to low current rating.

what kind of charger did u all used? samsung charger?

Hello guys. May i know why some widgets are not available on Xperia C? For example i installed Twitter but i cannot add twitter widget from the option. Same goes to Clean Master app, etc2. Any idea?

QUOTE(cicibo @ Dec 17 2013, 05:29 PM)
you need to install the apps in internal storage. only then it will display in the widget select screen.

Im using original charger since bought. Btw, I believe the 30-10% drain only happen when I fully charge to 100%.

If I charge to around 80%+ I does not faced the drain issue..weirdoo..  hmm.gif

maybe u should calibrate your battery?
in my opinion, as long as your battery can last as it is, the battery level is doesn't matter
maybe its indicator is the problem and not the battery.
