Currently I have a Sony Xperia M2. Although I miss the old Mini Pro physical keyboard, I love this phone. It has a big screen that allows me to check my forums more or less comfortably and the only thing that bugged me was that the pictures weren't very good despite the fact that it has an 8-mpx camera.
A couple of days ago I took it to the repair shop to see if they could do something about it, but they said the lens was scratched and that they had to change the whole camera. Fortunately, they didn't have it available at the moment and told me to come back later.

Long live Google, because I looked for solutions to fix a scratched lens; I polished it as I found in one page, and it seems to have worked, since my pictures are much better now. It seems that the cleaning cloth or liquid had affected the anti-reflective coating and polishing removed it completely.
Now I'll have to check the quality of the pictures with bright lights, I guess. [watching]

My phone service provider is making me change my phone again. What do I have to know to get one that will record video with good sound quality? (My recordings from Paris are disastrous.)
I don't think my contract can afford an iPhone, and I really like Android. Any suggestions?

Remember my recordings from Paris 2014? The sound is amazing, but only Nokia/Microsoft has these special microphones that can handle loud sound well, so if you have nothing against Windows Phone, buy a lumia 950, if not, the only workaround is an external microphone.

Oh, that's a real dilemma... my mother has had two Nokias with Microsoft and I hate them... really hate them. But indeed, the sound of your videos was fantastic and my mother's photos are so good. *thinking*
I'll ask about possibilities with my provider.

Thanks for the recommendation, Willy. <3

I dropped wine on my phone and now it's acting weird!

MalilaM · 03 Nov 2016, 04:50

I took my phone to the repair shop and they said it's alright, but it keeps restarting without me doing anything.
*sigh*

I need to find a solution, it's getting worse. ;(

In February, I finally upgraded from the PayLo plans and phones from Virgin Mobile to one of the smartphones that they cover.

Samsung Galaxy J3

It's been serving well since then.

I like my Samsung Galaxy A3 that I got June 2015. I'll be due an upgrade soon but I plan to keep this one.

My phone is still doing weird things. Someone said it's probably the battery, so I ordered one at the repair shop. The problem is that the new exchange rate will make it twice as expensive as it would have been by the start of the year and there is no guarantee it will solve my problem.
...I have to check my contract with my phone services provider to see if I can change it for a new one.
*buaaa!* :'(

I've had my Samsung Galaxy Note for about 4 years now and still going strong. Some stuff is out of date on it, but it works for me.
