Yep, flashed the camera fix, and now that works too. Very nice!

Thank you Rox. I've flashed it on a Neo and only the camera is giving me problems. I'll flash the Camera fix and see how it goes.

Not all MKV files are the same, some will play on your phone, and some will not. There are several factors that determine if your phone can play video files, depending on how the video was encoded. MX Player, BSP Player, VLC Player etc are all good players. My advice is to simply install all 3...

Alternatively, try BSplayer. It has no problem with mkv files.

If the price difference is small, then ZR. The question is how much more is it worth being waterproof, 1GB extra RAM, 2 extra cores (still the same old CPU as in Nexus 4). Now, if Sony would put a Snapdragon 600 on ZR, keep the resolution 720p, put a high quality IPS display, then this phone...

Yes the phone gets warm when gaming, but not excessive (like my old SGS2). Battery goes down faster when gaming, but I wouldn't call it a drain. This is usual for all phones. What I really value with SP here are 2 things: 1) it plays heavy graphical games very smoothly and 2) in standby...

In the phone settings, there is a handy menu that says "Transfer data to SD card". It automatically cleans your media files from internal memory and moves them to external SD card. At least this should free some space for your apps.

Totally agree. SP is a great value for its price. Samsung tries with S4 mini to compete in this segment and what do they do? They have a phone with lesser CPU/GPU and lower screen resolution, but try to sell it with a higher price (here S4 mini is 100 EUR more expensive than SP)...

Got recently this BT Stereo Headset SBH-20. :D Works like a charm with SP, NFC (oh yeah!) pairing takes 1second. Recommended for those looking for a good, small trouble-free headsets.:good: More info here http://www.sonymobile.com/nl/products/accessories/stereo-bluetooth-headset-sbh20/#black

If you are used to super-amoled screens, then the SP screen looks dull. Otherwise, it feels natural/balanced.

Got it. Flash an official firmware with Odin.

I've used the basic steps in Method 2 and I have root (temp CWM). Now I need to give the phone away unrooted. Can someone explain me how to remove the root? (I wish it was as simple as factory reset or uninstall Superuser app...). Thanks!

I was looking forward to get HOX, but the HTC's decision to drop external storage and battery cover, made me wait for SGS3. I'm glad Sammy didn't disappoint here. So, I'll most likely get an SGS3. I also expect it to last longer thanks to the more powerful battery (I hate when my phone runs...

Using a ROM Manager on Desire with CWM Recovery increases the chances of failures. I've seen in other forums regular reports of device failures because of ROM Manager. Simply do the nandroid backups and flashing directly from Recovery.

Those that complain about battery drain: I'm on v2.1.6 and the phone lost only 3% after 11 hours of passive usage. :) I'm using the default kernel in Oxygen, and there are no other modifications.
