Samsung S4 vs. Sony Xperia Z.


:

Ayoko with the Xperia Z is the last half inch of the screen is devoted to the buttons.

With Samsung, it has its own dedicated buttons, so effective screen size is bigger by half inch.

To those wondering why their SanDisk micro SD for their smartphone suddenly conked out...

SanDisk says it produced some bad 32GB and 64GB microSD cards
Posted: 18 Mar 2013, 12:41, by Alan F.

A little bit after the turn of the year, a Samsung Galaxy S III owner complained that his expensive class 10 32GB SanDisk microSD card stopped being recognized by his 16GB Samsung Galaxy S III. So he decided to speak with a Samsung representative via an online chat and told him how the card had been ejected one day, and not recognized by his phone the next day and added that he had read about similar problems being experienced by other Galaxy S III owners. Instead of responding to his issue, the Samsung rep merely told him not to believe everything he reads about on forums. Nice response, eh? Another Samsung Galaxy S III owner wrote that the same model SanDisk 32GB microSD card would continuously remount, which would force it to be rescanned and in the process, kill the battery.


SanDisk has had some problems with its 32GB and 64GB microSD cards

After that ridiculous response by Samsung, The Register, based in the U.K., spoke with SanDisk and the honesty was quite refreshing. The card manufacturer admitted to a problem in the production of a small number of its 32GB and 64GB microSD cards. The manufacturing problem has already been repaired. If you have a SanDisk card that is failing, whether it is on the Samsung Galaxy S III or any other device, you can contact the company and receive a replacement.

Has any one out there suffering with a SanDisk microSD Card? Drop us a comment in the box below and let us know what happened. You will feel much better getting it off your chest.

"SanDisk has been made aware of potential product issues involving a very small percentage of its 32GB and 64GB SanDisk Mobile Ultra microSD cards. Under certain circumstances the cards may lock up and the card becomes inaccessible. The issue has been identified and a manufacturing fix has already been put in place. SanDisk stands behind its products and any customer who experiences this issue with the microSD cards cards is asked to contact the SanDisk support center for a resolution immediately."-SanDisk

Pwede pa yung S3 and Note 2 sa Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie...

Galaxy S III And Note II To Receive Android 5.0 Update, S II and Original Note Retiring After 4.2.2 Update

Despite the release of the Galaxy S4 last week, many Android users are looking at which further software upgrades will be available for their devices, especially amid rumors of an upcoming major Android refresh, Android 5.0. According to a credible report, it seems like the Galaxy S III, along with the Galaxy Note II and a whole range of Samsung devices unveiled over the last year, will receive the upgrade once it becomes available.

More specifically, the Galaxy S III and the just-released Galaxy S4, both 3G-only and LTE versions, are expected to receive the update. As for tablets, not only both 3G and LTE editions of the Galaxy Note II will be eligible for Android 5.0, but also all editions of the Galaxy Note 8.0 and Galaxy Note 10.1. Most devices that have been released over the last year will be fully supported, according to this source.
On the other hand, older phones are said to be on their way out. If the contents of this report do indeed come to fruition, older devices such as the popular Galaxy S II and the original Galaxy Note will be dropped, along with many older members of Samsung’s Galaxy product line, namely the Galaxy Grand, Galaxy Grand DUOS, Galaxy Ace 2, Galaxy S III Mini, Galaxy Beam, Galaxy Express, Galaxy S Advance, Galaxy S II Plus, Galaxy Premier, Galaxy Young, Galaxy Young DUOS, Galaxy Fame and Galaxy X Cover. Users of these devices will not be able to upgrade through official means, although there is no telling whether unofficial upgrades will be available.Android 5.0, codenamed Key Lime Pie, is reportedly the next major release of Google’s mobile operating system. While the Mountain View company has been unsurprisingly silent about the upcoming release, small snippets have made their way onto the Internet, in the form of reports and small nuggets of information pertaining to the release. Additional integration with social networks is expected, along with an improved keyboard, a video chat app and enhanced integration for those who own multiple Android devices.

Android 5.0 is expected to be announced at Google I/O, the developer conference that will take place this coming May. A final, consumer-ready release should be available to the public several months later, although it is up to each manufacturer to roll the update out to individual phone models.

Bad start...

Mystery bug epidemic causes random death of Sony Xperia Z devices, fix is incoming
by Adrian Diaconescu on Mar 21, 2013

After Samsung’s Galaxy S3 crushed all the Android competition during 2012 on its way to becoming the world’s best-selling smartphone, this year’s debut seemed to line up a much tighter three-way battle for supremacy.

There’s currently very little to set the Sony Xperia Z, HTC One and Galaxy S4 apart (at least in theory), which is why it’s only natural to expect the war to come down to the wire. Only HTC might be out of contention already after delays caused by component shortages.

Meanwhile, Sony seems to have a really big hassle on its hands as well, with (way too) many Xperia Z users reporting their phones are suddenly and out of nowhere dropping dead.

All over the XDA and Sony Mobile Talk forums, people are spilling their guts about sudden death episodes and the biggest problem of them all is they don’t seem to be caused by only one glitch. Several of these might have something to do with Z’s battery, but the vast majority really does come out of nowhere.

There are even folks reporting their Zs have breathed their last after only a few hours of use, which is pretty scary. In some cases, you can apparently resuscitate your breathless precious with a hard reset (power button + volume up), but most of the times there’s nothing you can do besides say a prayer, put the phone in his coffin box and return it for a refund or replacement.

On the bright side, Sony has already announced “the problem has been identified” and that a fix is currently being worked on. The “next software update” should include this fix, but there’s no ETA just yet, so it might take a while.

And although the Xperia Z is not the world’s first smartphone to encounter such issues (even the Galaxy S3 suffered from a similar epidemic), Sony is definitely going to lose any edge it might have had over Samsung or HTC. And just when we thought they could become a force to be reckoned with…

^ Kaya its always better to wait for the first few months to see if there is a bug.
