Iphone 5s and samsung galaxy s5 iphone 5s got too much cons,too complicated...before you open an account on iphone alone,you'd surely sweat,itunes and icloud wahala,jailbreaking nko,abegi jhor,the only thing I like about iphone 5s is the unique design,every other thing is fvcked up....looking for a buyer btw S5: a great phone(specs wise) with a crappy design,the back case(cover) is too soft,it's softer than a normal plastic:-/ the heart monitor stuff is a gimmick,the camera(16mp) is overhyped,or am the one that can't really use it,it has an internal memory of 16gig,but anytime I connect it to a laptop,it only shows 1.48gig,the fingerprint scanner is superb,am the only one that can unlock my phone,the battery life(2800mah or there about) isn't better than iphone 5s(1750mah or so) battery life,I don't really care about the battery tho....the smart screen is fabulous,I also love the remote control feature...if only samsung could make a better design,s5 would have been a better phone

1st of all, itz d jailbreaking dat allow an iPhone become tweak-able, wit d jailbreak I could have themes, jst like d screenshotI i uploaded, am able to send and receive files, pix, videos & music via Bluetooth, handle with various setting dat I wld not b able to.
I could download from the [more than enough] available stuffs 4rm Cydia
I hardly have 2 use my home button

I can't really explain it all here cos u nid to feel d phone to understand wat I mean, I noticed u own an iPhone also and u ar funding it hard to turn it into a beast, my advice ; jailbreak it and contact me so u could be given hint on how to unlock it's true nature

Any solution to Xperia z hotness coz it's kinda annoying, i had to downgrade to 4.2.2 ~ now in 4.3 I thought it was kitkat issue but after seeing similar cases in the net regardless of the os I think is a bug wit dis device Sony should do something

Kitkat (4.4.2)
1.2ghz Quadcore with PowerVR SGX 544MP (GFlops of 9.2)
1GiG RAM
16GiG internal storage partitioned into 10GiG for Files and 3GiG for Apps, d remaining 3GiG for System
Multitasking and Gaming is Great
Inbuilt DTS Sound System (Further tweaked using ViperFX)
8MP Camera.. Really sharp and very powerful Flash


CONS:
Battery! Battery!! BATTERY!!! 1800mah.. Last for 4hours Max on Heavy usage.. So I got a spare ba3 and a 6000mah Powerbank.. wink
Also, Stock ROM lags due to the heavy Gionee Bloatwares.. So to fully enjoy d fone, u need a Custom ROM.. M on Legend ROM v8

i'd say u should upgrade the fone to the 4.4.4 kikkat (or if you like you can upgrade to 5.0) as i noticed my fone doesn't heat up as often as it did when i was on 4.3 and lower..


most at times android phone heat up in general so its not really a sony thing, sometimes sef my 5s can just start heating up and wat i do is switch it off cos it's possible it has been overworked by my humble self grin

tweak? How did you go about it? What are the benefits you derive from tweaking it?

basically u can tweak by performing jailbreak on it after which you can do wonders on the fone,

with jailbreaking am able to send and receive files, photos, videos and music via bluetooth, install games that i didn't buy with my itunes account, set themes (like the ones in my screenshot), i simulate my fingerprint scanner as the home screen button so i rarely press the home button cos i jst touch the 5s's home button(not press) and it reacts like i pressed it, there's so much i can't fully explain, my advice; jailbreak ur phone, contact me so i could provide hints on how to turn dat lovely iphone into a true beast, my android and iphones are useless to me without jailbreak and rooting

cydia is so full of useful tweaks and apps that u can never go wrong once u jailbreak that baby


i understand iphones can be frustrating at times but once u get the hang of it, u'd enjoy it over the android, i use both devices so am talking from experience, since 2010 dat i started using iphones i av been an addict cos it just suits me perfectly as if we were made for each other
