Wat crap.. 700 bucks headphones and a 100 bucks cover .. and in the UK they gave headphones worth INR 16000 free .. wat crap :(

---------- Post added at 09:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:43 PM ----------

My status in adexxmart shows shipped via bluedart along with the ref no. :)

providing a cheap 700 bucks headphones and a 100 rs worth crappy cover for a 38000 rupees phone for indians is totally unfair .

While in malaysia they gave Sony SRS-BTV5(inr 6-8k). and in UK you give sony mdr-1r.(inr 16k)

I think we can complain here https://www.sony.co.in/section/contactus
[Xperia Z General] tinny9:
Guys you can also check next.co.in, its available at 34990 after applying coupon.

Though the offer is only on Xperia Z black

Added my comments
[Xperia Z General] nickandre21:
i believe this headphone is not even worth 790 bucks if it was the case why wouldnt the stores provide it when we got the phone? why only the white one. The box also looks filmsy.

So after partying hard with at armin van buuren i can see the phones battery is truly something. 15hrs since a full charge to reach 2% remaining. good job on this sony. My xperia arc s wouldve died in the evening itself. I used the z for lots of full hd videos and night shots at 9mp 1 hour music listening and 2 hrs of bluetooth pairing. all this on stamina mode.
[Xperia Z General] DooMLoRD:

Re: Sony Xperia Z/Zl [Indian users] pre-order started

[Xperia Z General] nickandre21:

[Xperia Z General] DeathlessOne:
Nope. ZL has and the Japan version of Z has this feature!

Can any body say me that what does the green blinking led notification indicates..
[Xperia Z General] warfareonly:
Re: Sony Xperia Z/Zl [Indian users] pre-order started

In my brother's sola it means that battery is charged.

Sorry, I own a Galaxy Note so I can't be sure.
[Xperia Z General] Ame123:
Re: Sony Xperia Z/Zl [Indian users] pre-order started

Thanks for the help but freind its blinking while the phone is not on charging.
[Xperia Z General] dhirajmishra:
Its a notification that u have any unread message, missed call, a new email, a new update for ur phone's software etc.....just drag down the notification bar & it'll display something u missed or forgot to look at......
[Xperia Z General] Ame123:
Re: Sony Xperia Z/Zl [Indian users] pre-order started

For all these stuffs generally the white led blinks..but dont kno why sometimes not every time the green led flashes and theres no notification..
[Xperia Z General] dhirajmishra:
Go for a factory reset....may be that'll solve the problem....
[Xperia Z General] nickporwal:
Even i got the update. After update my firmware was 350 only. Nothing changed......
[Xperia Z General] DeathlessOne:
At last, got the device delivered today at 1 pm! Pre-ordered on infibeam at first day itself on 6th! Received after everybody else got the device on today 18th! This justifies the term PRE-ORDER i think!!! :( :D
[Xperia Z General] Filth.Injector:
Anyone who has purchased from IndiaTimes Shopping received their device yet ?
[Xperia Z General] rachitboom2:
Nope... they haven't even shipped it yet... :(
[Xperia Z General] DooMLoRD:
guys i just received the "offer headphones"

and let me tell u, they suck...

they are just rebranding the same MDR-ZX100 headphones as MDR-ZX100A and bundling it along with the Z

worse thing is the MDR-ZX100 headphones are only Rs 790/- in local Sony Center as well as Sony Mobile India site

i have not yet received the "premium case" but from what i hear its really cheap material...

i say lets formalize a proper email and each one of lodge in complaints... at their customer care number, customer care email address, and most importantly their FB page..

since they say they offer a Rs 1490/- headset they should atleast give the MDR-ZX300

honestly speaking they are conning the Indian customers... in the UK they gave MDR-1R headphones which are worth 200 Pounds... in Singapore they are giving Sony SRS-BTV5 Wireless Speaker for NFC Smartphones which retail for around 60 Pounds...

this is just unacceptable... they do false advertising and under the pretest of providing Rs 1490/- + Rs 1990/- = Rs 3480/- worth of goodies they are charging a premium on the device...

i am willing to send these cheap headphones back to Sony and demand for proper compensation...
[Xperia Z General] rohit25:
just posted on their FB page....

would recommend every1 does the same

Re: Sony Xperia Z/Zl [Indian users] pre-order started

Whole flagship

Xperia L - 15k

Xperia SP - 25k

Xperia ZL - 30k (soon)

Xperia Z - 35k

Which one will u prefer?

Sent from my HTC_Flyer_P512_NA
[Xperia Z General] slimshaddy.:
it's visible. and i was able to see this from the page itself.

i was waiting for the SP to launch ;) and if the price difference is just 5000 rupees like you said i will buy the ZL. but if the price difference is around 8000 then i might think of buying the SP. i hope sony launches SP arpund may and ZL price comes down to around 30 :D
[Xperia Z General] sdhanush1:
Guys, i am planning to order from next retail as they are providing 4000 discount and the price comes to 35k. Is the site reliable? Did anyone order from there?
[Xperia Z General] Mahesh89:
phonearena is doing a Nasty work

i think tat phonearena is Being Heavily paid by some other OEM's to bring down the popularity of the Z :mad:

​
[Xperia Z General] DeathlessOne:
Got my beast yesterday! The headphones are strictly (very) average, and the case- guys is this even a case after all? It smells like anything and doesn't even properly fit my Z inside. Even when i pushed it inside, the edges of screen aren't visible as the cut is not properly done. After taking the Z out, it started to smell too, like fevicol or somethin! Do you guys have the same? And moreover, near the proximity sensor area, the cut is done in black colour whrer the overall case color is white! Gonna tear Sony into pieces! :(
[Xperia Z General] sachinaik:

I have ordered XZ from flipkart on 14th March and still they haven't shipped it. Now it shows out of stock. Will I get my phone or will they ship only after its back in stock? Eagerly waiting for the phone.
[Xperia Z General] DeathlessOne:
WTH??!! Not yet? You better call them, mail them daily and ask, tell them that it's already available in retail stores n all! Or else tell them to cancel! I think this might knock some sense into them! It's insane really! It happened for me and I kept on calling infibeam everyday! tats y i received atleast now or else the same would have happened to me!
[Xperia Z General] rohit25:
Re: Sony Xperia Z/Zl [Indian users] pre-order started

You won't receive from them..... I had ordered on 6th March nd didn't got it.... Had to cancel....

If you in Delhi buy from vaishno store in gaffar selling for 35k.... With Bill.... Got my friend too...

Although I got it for 36k as I was eager nd didn't wanted wait for a min

---------- Post added at 12:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 PM ----------

One more question though guys.....

Doesnt opening the camera lags..... From lockscreen or app....
[Xperia Z General] DeathlessOne:
Yeah it does buddy! Almost takes about 2-3 secs! The problem persists even after restarting.

Another one : Has Doom uploaded the .350 Indian FTF file?
[Xperia Z General] nickporwal:
Yup thats the .350 firmware

---------- Post added at 02:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:33 PM ----------

Guys anyone noticed that the volume button is a little bit flimsy? Phone build is solid but i can sense that the volume button seems to have a very small gap in the slot.

On the other hand phone is beautiful and fast too. I am just loving the phone. i have sold my S3 for this beauty and i am absolutely happy with this phone.
[Xperia Z General] nickandre21:
so far havent found anything to be filmsy, only worried about power button loosing its silver color. Sony did extremely well on the quality department as well as battery. Battery life im getting ranges between 10-15 hours. with stamina mode on. Today im at home and hence switched stamina mode of. However phone is downloading a huge file from wifi took phone out of charging at 10 am. Phones at 80% right now.
[Xperia Z General] ethan3686:
Bought the Xperia z today...What a phone..Loving it..Got it for 35k without accessories...The shopkeeper was selling for 35700/-...I told him i dont want the free accessories [headset and flip cover] and he gave me for 35k...Was it a good deal? Because i heard the accessories were not even woth 700 including both!
[Xperia Z General] redandwhitearmy:
very good and intelligent deal ....

heres a screen grab of battery usage today with stamina mode of.

usage includes downloading a 2gb file via wifi, a few photos, listening to a bit of music, some whatsapping and facebook.
[Xperia Z General] vnrksandeep:
I have bought it for 35k from ebay with manufacturer warranty and free accessories, is this a good deal?
[Xperia Z General] nickandre21:
just purchased and installed modern combat4 from the playstore.. blown away with the graphics this phone has to offer, not even a bit of lag
[Xperia Z General] rohit25:
awesome was thinking of buying the game....

would now.....

only f'ing problem i am facing.... that usb charger port is a bit of work for me.... nvr closes as it should always have to press it and make sure it is even and waterprood.....
[Xperia Z General] redandwhitearmy:
Camera Lag

people are reporting camera lag... but the unit i tested was not having this problem. i did not check firmware was.350 or not.. but it must be different there was not lag in opening camera either from lockscreen or from homescreen .
[Xperia Z General] ethan3686:
Another thing i want to mention here people..In the indian market the demo models put out in shops have a very different screen from the actual phone..The actual phone is much more vibrant and bright! Just check it out once..i dont know why they are doing such a thing? :(
[Xperia Z General] DooMLoRD:
also contact Sony India and let them know ur complaints:

https://www.sony.co.in/section/contactus
[Xperia Z General] nickandre21:
most of these shops do not have a particular demo piece besides sony centres perhaps. When i went to croma i asked them to check their inventories for a black piece their inventory showed one black in most of their stores including the one i was at, when i asked him why you said theres none he said that we put in demo. So i asked him if the do not use a demo only piece he replied no, they use a retail model.
[Xperia Z General] DeathlessOne:
Have a peculiar doubt! When watching videos or photos, the on-screen buttons hide automatically! But when playing games (like subway surfers and agent dash) it doesn't. It's really annoying as the games don't handle full screen! Is there any way to hide this during games or when running any full screen app?
[Xperia Z General] nickandre21:
actually i find the soft buttons annoying especially when typing in portrait orientation my fingers always touch the home key, i think it would be best it hides like in camera mode.
[Xperia Z General] nickandre21:
Re: Sony Xperia Z/Zl [Indian users] pre-order started

I dont understand why this stamina mode keeps showing max 9 hours when i get more then it. What on earth is wrong with it
[Xperia Z General] DeathlessOne:
Did my first water test today! My Z was teeming with smudges and fingerprints, so I took it to a tap, opened it and let Z completely wash in it and took it back and dried it. Working like a charm. :D :) :P

Re: Sony Xperia Z/Zl [Indian users] pre-order started

I put it in a bucket a couple of times even played modern combat 4 while having a quick shower no issues what so ever made my shower fun
[Xperia Z General] buBleZ:
It's simple. Battery life numbers are "estimates" based on your usage history or typical usage pattern. Maybe you hardly used the phone hence it lasted more than 9 hours.
[Xperia Z General] nickandre21:
well i did use it for whatsapp gaming facebook pictures and videos. stamina mode says the same estimate every day.

Pleased with ZL!

Hi guys! I purchased the new Xperia ZL 3 days back. I'm very much pleased with it overall. The screen is gorgeous and battery backup is pretty decent (5hrs+ screen on time & 1 day's standby with moderate use) and i'm coming from note2 (used to get 7hrs screen on time with similar use) :good:.

Some people report delay in the camera app on Z but i have no lag whatsoever.
[Xperia Z General] Slim Shady:
well bought xz from sony center and got the jdc screen anyone else who got jdc ????
[Xperia Z General] Dpk1:
I don't want to root/ unlock BL right now & with the Xperia display app posted here i get panel id = 1262-4791 & display manufacturer as unknown (see screenshot below). Could you try the app and post back your results. Any other way to check it without rooting? I however know that the display on my ZL is good and has acceptable viewing angles (compared to three different Z units i tested).
[Xperia Z General] slimshaddy.:
for how much did you buy the ZL ? did you get any freebies ?

]Xperia Z: Burst Mode picture quality better than Normal Mode

[Xperia Z General] Slim Shady:
Well the app clearly shows jdc panel must be cause i'm rooted and dude u can root even with a locked bootloader I assume as xz and xzl are basically the same
[Xperia Z General] Dpk1:
Got mine for 34000 INR with free tpu case for ZL (worth 1490 INR) which seems to be of good quality n perfect fit, although too glossy to my liking & also got the headphones which come free with XZ (worth 1490 INR). I traded my 6 months old note 2 (for 28k) and paid the rest sum of 6k in cash for the new XZL (black).

P.S - About the burst mode vs normal mode: yes overall the pics shot in the burst mode do appear sharper (with better details) than those shot with normal or auto mode, auto mode being worst wrt contrast & details (for daylight shots).
[Xperia Z General] slimshaddy.:
i'll still wait for the price to come around 28-30 :D

so what are your views after moving to sony from samsung ? i don't want you to bash samsung just your unbiased observations.

you already told us about the battery.

then it seems like a software problem :( first overcompressed pics and now this.
[Xperia Z General] nickandre21:
so does any one have an idea as to when would sony update the phone? This is one department i never really liked they provide updates very slowly and after a couple of them stop providing entirely.

Any idea on when 4.2 will be out for our phones? not that im facing any issues but would like sumthing new
[Xperia Z General] DooMLoRD:
atleast not for another month or more...

they will be focusing on pushing JB updates to Xperia 2012 devices... Xperia P (other NovaThor devices), Xperia S (other Snapdragon S3 MSM8660 devices) are in line...

So i waited till the 20th but the status still didnt change and they hadnt shipped the device as yet. Finally today morning i called up their customer care and opened up a complaint case... they havnt given any estimates or shpiping dates as yet.. all they say is you will be notified when your product is shipped.

Bah..

I was told to wait till 19th, so I waited till 19th and opened a case on 19th night. I got a call from them yesterday saying they will get back to me regarding the opened case in 24 hours.

So I called them up AGAIN today, they said "the concerned department will call me up in some time"... Thats all they can help me with...

Re: Sony Xperia Z/Zl [Indian users] pre-order started

24h since I took possession of my C6602 Sony Xperia। Z black beauty! Got it from the mobile store for 36k with the same crappy promo headset & cover. Sound quality is ok coming from HTC and build is great. Screen is good and comparable with the slcdof my Inc S (jdc screen). Loving every minute of playing with my new fondleslab! Rooted boot locked with twrp.

Just a request; I have disabled chrome (hateGoogle apks & disabled most of gmail, maps, talk, contacts calendar sync etc), can anyone point me to the stock jellybean browser.apk that can be installed instead.... Tks.

For WiFi, use connectify. It will make your system as Router. Then you can use internet of pc in phone. For USB, you need to setup internet connection sharing in pc.
