Nice idea! Now the deal is making the module strong enough to hold the controller to the backbone, but it shows how this project could change the way we use technology

Very nice! But actually you can't do anything woth your phone when this module attached except gaming. That means you will have to restart your phone (to change the module) when you would like to do something else.

Reminds me of my old xperia play. Loved that phone

I had the idea of a game pad module also. This is a great concept picture. If Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft, And others all made their own modules, that would be a whole new market for them, and an opportunity to expand console gaming to mobile.

Nice concept, but probably too thin to fit the PCBs and batteries in there.

You don't have to restart the phone to apply new modules...
I imagined a gamepad as using the two 2x1 panes on the sides, which would probably be more stable but not fit the phablet or small size.

PCBs are going thinner day by day. And lithium polymer batteries are very thin and powerful.
Apart from using li-po battery y not use micro-usb drivers as in USB otg or something? So the phone itself can power the module.
I like the concept. Its great as well as feasible. I hope Sony is working on this. I was a fan of xperia play!

What are PCBs?
I heard (no official source) that they may use supercondensators for energy handling? I am no pro in that but however, this isn't the topic here.
I doubt that Sony is going to produce this, but why shouldn't there be an extra battery inside the module? I would be one of the first to buy one of those tiny toys

A PCB is just an acronym for Printed Circuit Board which is the (usually) green thing inside electronics

Well I have seen mashups of displays woth integrated keyboards, but probably that enough people want a keyboard in addition to their screen so someone will produce it.
I guess if not a screen-keyboard mix is just as good for texting imo.

Sgs3 vs SG Note

Hello there
I started this thread to make a comparaison between the two device to help people on chosing the model which more fits his needs
I own both and can't actually decide which one use as main....
Luckily i have 2 telephone numbers so I use both

}
so far i can elaborate a bit:
Both have ics (the sgnote has a custom icsRocketRom)
they are both very fast, but you can feel the sgs3 has more processing power and it is overall faster
when you type messages on the sgnote its easyer and you end up with faster typing
browsing speed seems about the same
ics version on sgs 3 is more modern and seems better
the battery on sgs 3 seems very good but i feel that sgnote has longer usage
the screen of the sgnote is huge and at the end it makes the main difference between the 2 devices
at the end probably any comparaison is not fair since they are not the same category of device
if they had same hardware and software it would only be a matter to decide : "Do i have enough room to carry a gnote"?

LG G2 creaks

Hi guys, got this problem, back of my LG G2 D802 creaks whenever i put pressure on back cover.
Am i the only one? Is this normal? Should i RMA my device?
Same here ...
Same here.
I get creaks also, but I just ignore them.

vs980 - No creaks
it may be normal cause the back plate is plastic, dunno, any advice from experienced guys?

Mine doesn't creak, but this is the way I'd go.
I read in an old thread that it was due to misalignment of the back cover, and that people have had success taking the back cover off and stuffing some paper to fill the void.
Mine creaks really bad, it makes it feel like low quality.
Mine creaks on the right side, when i put some pressure on it i hear ,,tick'' noise, I have no idea what it is, any advice?
No creaks here (Sprint G2), and I'm kind of OCD when it comes to unwanted noises and other build quality issues. It seems to be rather well built, despite the use of plastics. Definitely no N5 sort of issues.
I solved this issue by applying Velour Sticky Tapes inside the bottom Case

But Caution: please take attention not to apply Tapes over the Antenna Circuit Areas on the Bottom Case. Can break if you want to remove Velour Tapes and they can harm signal strength

I'm getting less than an hour of screen on time on my Note 3...

... it's not the weak signal. When I was at home (the green signal part), my phone dropped 10% with barely 6 minutes of screen time.
What's going on here? A big part why I moved to the Note 3 was its battery life. Thanks.

Welcome in the club
HELD AWAKE > AndroidOS is awake....no deepsleep!!!
It called AndroidOS Bug and / or Google play services Bug.
Please search for it, and you'll find the answer.
No really solution about this s h i t:-/
Just temporally solutions they can help until the bug comes again and keep system awake
Check this :

Looks like a cross between the Z and Z1.

Is it just me or does that looks like capacitive buttons?
Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk
Promo ads like these usually have UIs and screens photoshopped for clarity and for easier manipulation.
It seems like an international Z1 with the UI stupidly aligned and enlarged.
BTW, its usually ad agencies that do these ads, not Sony themselves, so it could also be that they don't know how to resize for a much more realistic Xperia.
Or you could be right.

Just so u guys know. Sony will use the same design language for all of its phones. That's what they said at the start of the year. That phone there could be a mid range one with capacitive buttons or it could simply be a render for marketing...

Guys it's only the Xperia z1. The photoshop-er or graphic designer did a poor job on applying the screen and aligning it on to the phone. >.>

I don't know what it is. Like we didn't have munch infomation about T2 Ultra and E1 until it releases, like this mystery phone.
Everything new about xperia, or rumor news are also come from digi-woo.
You guys may need to use translate engine of Chrome so you can barely understand what they are discussing about.
Loggin with Twitter account is available.
I'm Vietnamese, not Chinese so don't ask me to translate because I don't know Chinese
This is onePlus one phone...
