But can this heating up damage my phone? Nope i don't have SD card in cuz 16GB memory is well for me:)

    Gladijajator, 25 May 2014Keep your RAM usage below 60-65%,get rid of the unused appsHeating is my least concerning issue. Battery and stablity is top priority. It heats when just in standby or listening to music.
    When intensive tasks it is normal to get hot.
    Thanks for your advice.
    Ps: someone told me to get rid of sd card to solve heating and battery draining

          I hate the phone. It can't cope. It breaks down all the time. The battery life is rubbish, needs charging throughout every day. The keyboard is put of control. It drives me MAD. I would swap for ANYTHING THAs

                      Phone is heating faster and at higher temperature than on jb, battery drains quickly when screen is on.
                      Poor supporr from sony, and for a company playing for the top spot this is not a good mark.
                      I consider htc, samsung and recently lg far better than sony, i will try to stay away from sony smartphones in the future.

                              Total waste of money, camera quality very poor specially for such a high end mobile. The picture shows black points when you zoom picture.Also its water proof but its gets heat up very quickly. In day time it shows message camera not functioning properly due to overheating. You play some high end game its get heat-up very quickly......Not expected from sony

                                If the camera bothers you now, after kitkat you won't notice it because of other several issues.
                                Don't update to kitkat. Stay on kitkat and tweek your camera to obtain better results.

                                      Hi All,
                                      what about battery life while using mobile data and net browsing ? how much time should I expect it to last? Also is it better to stay with JellyBean or go for KitKat ?
                                      And for the people who already have updated to KK 757 does it make any difference using Sony service update or Sony PC companion ? what's better to use for update ?
                                      thanks in advance

                                        C6903 14.3.A.0.757
                                        Untouched ROM

                                        Pros :

                                        1. Omnibalance design
                                        I do not like Android with softkey removed from the screen. I do not like physical button on the front neither back.
                                        I Like the sony's omnibalance design.

                                        2. 20.7 MP camera (very fast capture)
                                        I am not a photographer so i have no complaint with the photo's result. What i see on my photo result, it was great.

                                        3. Magnetic Dock Charging Mode
                                        No need to open the cover flap for charging. Just put it or pick it from the dock charger.

                                        4. IP 55/58 with non removable back cover and battery
                                        It is a must in the rainy day.
                                        Removable back cover and removable battery is annoying.

                                        5. Hard Reset button next to sim card socket
                                        For me, when the phone freeze, this button is savior.

                                        6. Very Smooth performance and good battery life
                                        Use it for 3D games (ex. Asphalt 8) and 2D Games (ex. Clash of Clan) email, chat (Gmail,BBM,WA,others) and the performance is awesome. Battery life is good.

                                        7. Physical button for camera
                                        This is good, very good, when it used underwater

                                        8. Good bezel size and screen size
                                        I Do not like minimum bezel for gaming purpose, try it and you will believe it when you use ur phone for gaming.

                                        Cons :
                                        1. Over sensitive touchscreen when the screen is dirty (cleaning the screen surface will fix this problem)

                                        2. TFT LCD (for me this is not a big problem, because I prefer to use my phone with minimum brightness)

                                        3. Problem on launch application when a lot of apps is opened and minimized at the same time (restart the phone will fix this problem)

                                        4. Loudspeaker and headphone socket position (not a good position for landscape gaming)

                                        5. Heat problem in multi core SOC
                                        Heat problem is not only happen in this phone / brand,
                                        Other brand have the same condition.
                                        Note that, I use other brands too.. and use it under the same condition, gaming and browsing and chatting, and all the multi core SOC will face the same heat problem.

                                        And If there are bugs in the stock ROM, there are a lot of custom ROMs for replacing the stock one.
