is the xtz prototype you're playing with the LTE version, or Wifi only?

WiFi only.

I bet the battery stats you posted aren't applicable to 4G version, because 4G radio is like a blood sucking vampire for battery juice. Do you notice any difference in battery drain while playing low res video content and 720p, 1080p stuff, if you play video for few hours straight?

Don't have it handy anymore. Had to give it back. Will be ordering one though as soon as they are available in the US.

Indeed awesome. Looks like they have the WiFi + 4G version (or not)...

I am wondering if I can use Xperia Link to use the tablet to send and receive messages from it (use the tablet as a controller, and use phone's message plan, not as the send directly from it).

Anyone can tell me that? Or I will have to use apps like Tablet Talk?

You mean sms and mms messages? Nothing natively to do that. Maybe some third party app. I'd like the same.

I would be interested in the 4G model, quite expensive though compared to the WiFi, may be a bargain though if theirs 10% off at current.

Though, from my experiance, don't 3G/4G models tend to be delayed on updates?

Just cancelled my pre-order at the my local Sony store with a £38 deposit refund.

Bought through the Sony site using the code SC mentioned, got just over £30 off!

Sweeet, and, it still arrives the same day lol
[Xperia Tablet Z General] TeH-BagS:
I'm thinking of pre-ordering it too. If I do change my mind I could cancel it right? No penalties etc? I've read through their policy, just want to get some confirmation from you guys :).
[Xperia Tablet Z General] SWFlyerUK:
Yup, infact I rang them just after to confirm that.

Once pre-ordered, they take your money immediately, you can then cancel and receive a refund at any time up and when you receive the device.

Seems pretty sound to me.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] TeH-BagS:
Thanks for the heads up. I think I'll go ahead and pre-order this. If anything fancier comes up I could always cancel it :). It's cheeky but hey, I wanna get the best out of my money.

I like the launcher, it works well on the Xperia T and doesn't look too bad on the Xperia Tab, alot better than a phone launcher normally does. I wonder if this launcher is intended to work 'fairly' well on a tab.

I just read it's aimed for the Japanese market. Any one think this will become available else where, maybe at MWC? With the specs it has I think it will only be availble in Japan. I don't really see a reason for an upgrade. The only thing I like is the back but even that seems like it's glass. Maybe next year, so far I'm very happy with my Xperia Tablet.

[Xperia Tablet Z General] TeH-BagS:
You're not alone on that. But as at this precise point, there are no other tablets that I would rather have. So keeping the pre-order. Mainly because of the 10% discount. Without the discount, I wouldn't even have pre-ordered it :).
[Xperia Tablet Z General] SWFlyerUK:
Quite true mate, although I can still get 7% off as a student through the education store ;)

Although, seeing as though this device is in a league of it's own, you'd of thought they would rush it out, just in case something better was released. Obviously not.

Compare the dimensions on gsmarena if it's roughly the same size it should fit, though if the xtz is thinner it would mean the case will have more room, hypothetically.

Guys, what flash tool do you use with your xperia tablet z? I need to downgrade from 10.1.E.0.250 to 10.1.E.0.244 to see if I can get the 3G working here in Australia. My tablet is unlocked and registers with Telstra but I cannot browse the internet. Comes up with no data connection...

I see on the developer.sonymobile.com site that there is a tool called "Emma" but it doesnt list the Xperia Z
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Poindexter80:
Better explain this a little better:

On these Android-tablets the background scrolls with you, so the background must be larger than 1920*1200 - so if I'd like to match the perfect background to this device, what size would it be?

I've seen the resolution 2190*1920 being mentioned in Google Play for the Xperia Z background, does that sound plausible?
[Xperia Tablet Z General] staynam:
Do you hav 244 firmware? You need to hav 244 ftf firmware in order to do a downgrade

I believe the full resolution of the XTZ's wallpaper images should be 2880 x 1920, but I do not have (yet) an XTZ for testing image resolutions. Download and try the attached image (my initial test wallpaper template image) and see how it works on your XTZ.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Poindexter80:
I would have loved to do that, but I have to wait until the end of this month to get it though (pre-ordered through Sony) :)

But 2880*1920 seems about right - maybe someone of the lucky owners could confirm this?

YES. You can download it from the sonymobile developer site:

developer<dot>sonymobile<dot>com/downloads/xperia-open-source-archives/open-source-archive-for-build-10-1-e-0-244/

so which flashing tool did you use? When I flash it will I lose the "unlocked" sim? I have an nttdocomo version SO-03E and would love for someone to build an image that removes all the docomo specific applications. The issue I have at the moment is that I have put a Telstra 3G sim into the tablet which is recognised but I cannot browse via the browser. It says there are no data connections
[Xperia Tablet Z General] staynam:
dat one cannot be used.. it's open source before compiling. Actual one should be larger than 900Mb, this one is only around 200MB?

If I'd like an all-in-one solution with MHL (i.e. not using an external HDMI-cable), would this be the one?

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Muvit-Cable-microusb-HDMI-MUNTC0005/dp/B007JTC1PC

The most important thing is that the cable needs to be able to charge the tablet while connected to a TV, doesn't it look like this one would handle that? One end in the tablet, the charger into the other one, and the HDMI-connector into the TV?

Anyway you all known how unlucky i am and how picky.

Is the xperia tablet z perfectly stable and useable or should i go for another tablet ?

Stuff i use tablet for games taking pictures facebook and other stuff watching movies.

and primarly as remote.

my alternatives are samsung but i boycot them and preffer contineu'ng doing so are their any other alternatives ?

Or is the xperia tablet z gonna be bug and problem free aka no sleep of death no random shutdowns or anoying bugs.

I can give up on the fact that updates might come out bit slower or that android 5.0 might never come out.

[Xperia Tablet Z General] spyderboyant:
This image is the 16gb WiFi tablet image. SO-03E is the Japanese LTE version which needs a different image. "E" instead of "C" in image file name.

Interesting fact is the Japanese LTE version SO-03E has 32GB internal memory compared to the European version SGP321 which is just about to be released and the white paper states 16gb internal memory. I wonder if the internal memory is just a micro SD card?
[Xperia Tablet Z General] staynam:
It's weird, coz for my SO-02E (Docomo Xperia Z), I can use international firmware. No reason why SO-03E cannot right?

SGP322 is 32G rom. It's internal memory. Micro SD is additional external memory.

[Xperia Tablet Z General] spyderboyant:
My Docomo model is definitely a different spec to the international LTE version SGP321. Here in Oz there isn't an SGP322. Looking on the box it says LTE Bands B1/B19/B21 where = 4G Network : LTE 800, 1500, 2100 MHz

The European/International LTE version SGP321 has bands 800/850/900/1800/2100/2600 as per published data sheets (no 1500)

I wonder why sony would do this? I wonder if its just firmware and if you could flash the SO-03E to SGP321 and turn it into an international LTE version?
