doesn't look like it provides much protection at all, and no lay on the table protection is a deal breaker for me. still, i'd like to know what case it is too as i don't believe i've seen it anywhere.

Haha, I just posted the exact same thing on his YouTube comments. Great minds think alike!

Same one I have and is discussed here:
http://androidforums.com/accessories-evo-4g/98673-quest-tightest-thinnest-evo-case.html
Best case for the money bar none. And yes, it does protect lens on bottom and screen up top depending on how you lay it.

It's just a cheap red rubberized case I bought on eBay for $6. I use it around the house. Don't really trust it if there's any chance I'll be out and about. I use an Innocase II when I'm carrying it around out of the house.

It doesn't provide much protection. Honestly, IMHO, it's more for looks than anything. The top edges of the phone look cool with the red.

does this brain your battery? curious if it makes battery worse than out of the box

Jury's still out on battery. Overnight results were not encouraging. I usually drop < 10% with the radios off, last night I dropped 30%. I'm going to swap setCPU for oc widget and lower the off screen rate to see what happens during the day.
I may turn off overclocking and use stock freq setting because what I'm mostly after is the better fps. I don't really care about the benchmarking in practical use because I don't game on it.

what theme are u running too

nice vid.
i have that same case and LOVE it. Best $5 Ive ever spent.

Wow nice!
Loved how much smoother Nenamark and Neocore ran.
27fps is pretty good on Neocore.
Pardon me if I sound stupid... but is there anyway to overclock the GPU.
I think the Palm Pixi has the same Adreno GPU, but clocked higher at around 190mhz? I might be wrong...

I believe it's Toast's GodMode kernel you'll find it on this very forum. It's pretty sad that the developers on this site have done a better job on this phone than HTC themselves heck they recently released an official patch update that bricked a user's phone. That's worse than Apple's you're holding it wrong campaign. Where the hell is the QC with these new devices quality control has gone down the drain.

It's not really a theme, I just cobbled together a few things I like from various places.
- Wallpaper came from the DroidX chocmatic posted in the Theme Playground thread.
- Lock Bar is BlackBarLockScreen-signed (sorry, I forgot who made it). This also installs transparent Rosie.
- Clock is Godzson's Black Gloss.
I think that covers most of the visual elements. All of this stuff is downloadable from XDA.

So what's the best kernel to breaking FPS limit if having Epson screen? I'm currently using GoDmode

This is what really really annoys me!!!

Why is it when there are any articles on the Xperia Play the comment sections are always full of "know it all's" that slag the device off without even trying it?
Take a look at Eurogamers new article for example then go down to the comments section - http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-09-06-sony-ericsson-no-need-for-xperia-play-2
grrrrrrr

just a tip,1.6 GHZ is abit to hot.I've being using 1.4 and 1.5 and they work just as great
Also,ignore the comments,IRL if you show your hacked/Modded PLay their brains would go out the window
Atleast thats whats happened to me once i showed how fast it was,oh and gamepaddd

I've actually put mine down to 1.4ghz only to try and balance the battery a bit as 1.6ghz was going through the battery rather quickly!

Lowering the voltages will have a better effect on battery than lowering the clock speed

can't blame them for wanting more power.but..
whats the good of dual core if you just use is to call and text people

They are just jelly because they don't have one.

Yeah, the nobs probably don't have one and are jealous because they signed a 4 year contract and still paid 400 for an iphone that is obsolete this month or next.

Problem its people look at specs and benchmarks and never do their own research, very annoying that people including supposedly respectable reviewers are too bothered about the silly specs!
IMO this phone is better than any I've tried, sensation, galaxy s2, desire hd and s none hold up to the gaming and general experience of the XP, just need more advocates like us!
Sony have done really well with the software and all the xda people make things loads better!

Ditto.
People using 'single core' as an argument against it automatically revoke any chance that their opinion is reputable. People who know what they're talking about know it has some blazing fast high-quality memory and acceleration that's great enough to keep it's performance right up there with the dual cores.
Samurai II on Xperia PLAY runs just as smoothly as it does on the Atrix.

Don't mind them.. I came from iPhone also, but nothing compares our phone for now.. I know deep inside of them they want this phone too, they just dont admit that they made a wrong decision by choosing their current phone over this..

I’m happy with it and that is all that matters to me.

Quad-core, 1GB ram + jellybean & widget menu lags everytime

Is this real life? Can't Samsung allocate some ram for it and cache it so I doesn't lag on start up everytime?

Isn't JB still unofficial?

Yes jellybean is still unofficial, but I still get this On ics

I just find it weird that I can play nova 3 flawlessly yet lag in the widgets menu. Samsung need to fix this.

Wait for official Jellybean.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

Aye. The widgets menu always lags. It's pretty annoying that a quad-core phone with 1GB of RAM can't handle such a simple task.

I think samsung forgot to include "Project Butter" for jelly bean s3

Seriously... What's wrong with this phone? It's really is a huge disappointment isn't it. My old s2 way out performs this thing. I bet even the huawei accend performs better. Prob worth replacing this with it! Doesn't it have 2gb of ram too?

Don't think smoothness is their highest priority right now, but to work out all of the bugs. They'll work on smoothing it out after it has been released. That's at least how they've always done it, not that their original firmwares haven't always been smooth, but they are almost always a lot better when they mature. The original firmwares for the SGS2 were really slow, but Samsung managed to improve the performance by a lot in later firmwares and the same goes for the SGS3.

For me SG3 is WAY better than SG2, it runs well, it's smooth as hell, impresive battery, great gaming and screen... OH! But it lags when entring Widgets menu, a menu I hardly touch on the first day I configure my phone or maybe if I install some new app!
But hey, it's worth throwing it to the bin because of it, who wants a laggy widget menú?

I agree wtf is the widget draw lagging for ' you'd think they'd alacate a touch of ram for some kind of stay in memory script like apex launcher does for launcher its simple really but Samsung devs suck [email protected] at common sense' hopefully they'll pull there finger out on official jb and nullify the (error) before a custom rom Dev writes a script to fix the issue and maybe they'll fix the grey cloud issue on lock screen with there much hyped ripple effect using black wallpapers ' this phone should not lagg, jerk,stutter or redraw period, p.s I luv my nearly perfect s3 rant over

I can compromise on smoothness because I know custom kernals and custom roms will handle that job pretty fine. All I want now is the bugs to be fixed, esp fc bugs.

I don't think the way you do about your comment. I do agree with him about what he said that the s2 runs better because I actually compared them both and the s2 runs faster and smoother. Also it is useless when you say "it runs well, its smooth as hell..." when you are trying to justify a comparison.. The s3 does run well, and it is smooth (well not really) but comparing it to the s2 we get the s2 as a winner. Try looking at the ram usage for the s3 and the s2, the s3 is almost always locked at 470+ and maximum is 780, the s2 with recently cleared memory has 200 mbs of ram used, and can reach up to 800.
So don't attack him just because you are too self righteous about your opinion. He has a point.

Android isn't really optimised for muli-core, only one can be used at any time. The SII runs better as it's lighter with less bloatware, don't buy a phone purely for the fact it has great specs because until Android can fully utilise all 4 cores you're no better off than someone who has 2.

Weird Benchmark Scores???

I know benchmark doesn't really mean squat-diddily-it, but man, was a little disappointed? My father-in-law has the Note 3, and his runs a 24K stock, just ran it with my S5 and it's 14k?? SAME as my S4!!! Also below is my speedtest.

Oops, I didn't really put in effect the difference the S5 is 2g, and Note 3 is 3, but still thought it would be a little better

T Mobile V20 really really! low score on antutu!!

As a gaming I always configure my phones for performance using Antutu as a baseline. For some reason the top score im getting with gaming battery saver off is 120k... 110k was my worst.
I saw some low FPS on the 3D bench which almost made me return the phone. The N7 was always hitting tops 145k so this is weird to me.
I know for some people benchmarks are a waste of time but for me, low scores indicate an issue.

That is low. I've watched a lot of reviews on Youtube and it seems right at 145k is the average for the V20. I'd take it back and get a new one.

Try running the test after not using the device for a while. My highest score was 148k. If The device was hot it was ~100k. Mine heats up while gaming more than I'd like.

I'm over 140k.. fine here

All of you using T mobile version or at least snapdragon 820? If so what did you took, remove or uninstall from the phone? I right now drained the whole battery for its first fully recharge and im still looking on how to enter the boot menu in order to clean the cache completely.
Thanks for the help.

I had to give up my Note 7 and bought LG v20 yesterday.
Believe me, LG V20 feels like much more faster than Note 7.
All the bloatwares make Samsung phones slow. LG V20 has very minimal of their brand apps, and those are necessary, like Remote control app, etc. Rest are just pure Android apps.

Best to do benches after a fresh reboot. Minimize crap running I'm background. Plus disable or uninstall bloat. Benches are just that, a place to start to see how hardware compared to another. Your low score could mean nothing.

Geez I might hafta update to the v20 from the v10 since the 808 only achieves a 1/3rd of the scores some of you have gotten.

The 808 is hot garbage. LG should have never used it. It always ran hot and bogged down with minimal effort.
Sent from my LG-H918 using Tapatalk

I think the reason the 808 was chosen was because the 810 at the time was running hot and throttling making the performance terrible. I am glad the 810 wasn't used at the time.
TMobile called and offered me an upgrade for 2 dollars more a month and I might just take it.

Samsung phones take screenshots on jpg by default.
