Can we use a C6603 rom(FukLag) after flashing a C6603 firmware?
[Xperia Z General] mandarjoshiin:
People try this.. its really awesome.. Used it with my Arc and now with XZ too..

http://www.ebay.in/itm/360611571276?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_3294wt_906
[Xperia Z General] DeathlessOne:
The only diff between two models is LTE! So you can flash any C6603 rom on C6602 without flashing any firmware. You can flash them on your existing Stock Rom itself. Only if you have a 6603 model you should be flashing the same model rom or else LTE alone wont work. C6602 wont have any problems flashing C6603 Rom, solved?

Bad news for me guys. I had my phone on the bed. I dropped a heavy stapler on the phone hitting the middle of the screen and a very sharp edge of the stapler. The screen protector was badly scratched and I really thought the screen is gone. I removed the protector and found that there is a small mark on the protector with the Sony logo as well :(. Now what?

Ihave ordered a new front and back screen protector. Too bad I saw the ebay link above after ordering. Now my doubt is whether I should remove the protector with the Sony logo and apply new or just apply the new one over the Sony one. The scratch is very minor and I doubt that it has done any damage to the screen .. not sure..

I see some small spots appearing on the protector at random places but it's visible only up close when you actually search for it. Can you suggest how I should proceed?

deciding to just stick a new screen guard on top
[Xperia Z General] warfareonly:
If you want, you may remove the Sony anti-shatter layer. It is only there to prevent glass from flying in all directions in case the glass breaks.

As for the spots, you may claim warranty if you wish (although that will be really immoral of you) :p

Hi everyone, this is a screenshot from my ZL.

As you can see the battery has been mostly consumed by the Android system. Usually most of my battery is consumed by the media server and screen. So this is weird. Can anyone please enlighten me on what the Android system is exactly and possibly why it is consuming so much battery suddenly? Thanks so much :)

[Xperia Z General] Ironmadan:
Hey guys can anyone tell me where I can get an Xperia Z in Mumbai for low prices. Just some research. Please do not suggest Alfa I've heard it is a shady place to buy from. Preferably with proper warranty and a reliable place? Also I don't want to buy from indiatimes shopping even though it has a good deal. I've heard too many bad things about it. Besides the usual croma, vijay sales, sony retail shops can anyone suggest a good local dealer who sells for relatively low prices? Cheers.

Got the Xperia Z with freebies @ 36000/-

Toddu phone hai boss! :D
[Xperia Z General] anjath:
i bought xperia Z from zoomin.com 35k with all freebies like case, headset, 16gb microsd card and a free photo flipbook. there is a coupon code for the discount.

it is shipped from byculla, mumbai and i received it in three days (received all freebies six days later, they ship it separate). so my guess you'll get it in a day or two max and freebies in five days. also has options for extending warranty by one year and a care plan for free pick up and drop through out the warranty period.

overall, very good experience. you should try it.
[Xperia Z General] Ironmadan:
Hey thanks a lot that does seem like the kind of deal I'm interested in. I've never heard of zoomin.com TBH but I guess since you said you had a good experience I might consider it. Besides, I'd like to listen to anyone else who got a good deal be it from a website or a local retailer.....not getting greedy :) just checking what my options are. Also the zoomin.com coupon code is XPERIAZ to those who are interested to buy from there. Looks like the real deal and is one of the best offers around besides Indiatimes shopping money wise.
[Xperia Z General] Mandeep148:
Hiiii,

Sorry my Again question...

I sold my Note 2 at 29k INR,

Know thinking to buy this one,

I heared that XZ has Baddest screen, with Baddest Viewing angles, and Lowest black level,

Is that True?

and is S4 pro chip is old gen?

please koi too btao yaa kia Wait krni chahiye S4 ki?

Hows then Phone?

Any issue, which i should keep in Mind before Buying,

What should i check Before buying?

Please Answer.....

thanx in advance..
[Xperia Z General] warfareonly:
It is very good. Screen is nice, not over saturated like note 2 (held them both side by side in vijay sales).

Viewing angles are a little on the small side (but never in my life have I needed to watch a phone from the side and I hope I won't need to either.:silly:)

Black isn't as deep as an amoled screen, but very good indeed.

No, it is not bleeding-edge new but it sure isn't 'old' either.

I won't advise waiting for the S4, unless you're hoping for a decrease in the price of the Z.

Phone is absolutely amazing. Looks are stunning (I'm a minimalism fan)
[Xperia Z General] buBleZ:
Regarding viewing angles - many will tell you you are not going to look from side. But if you want to view a video or image with your friend it will be watchable only for one of you depending on the angle. I observed this with my friends Z
[Xperia Z General] nikufellow:
Can anybody comment on low light. Canera performance and stamina mode!
[Xperia Z General] Mandeep148:
Really thanx For replying,

Why u won't advise waiting for S4,? is S4 i not bad than Xz?

Hows the Battery Life of XZ?

And one main thing also wana clear doubt on Protector,wht the funda about screen protector, by removing protector, Phone warranty will remove?

Sony logo too?
[Xperia Z General] Aman27deep:
It has one of the best cameras on a phone, you can trust me on that.

Low light images are really good, the flash works great. My friend who is a professional photographer was also impressed with the camera quality, more so as it's ona mobile device.

Stamina mode works great! Attaching an image in which stamina mode worked wonders. Overnight drain of 0% with network running.

In one sentence, it's the best phone on the market. Buy it with confidence.
[Xperia Z General] warfareonly:
I'm sick of the plastic on Samsung's phones. Plus, touchwiz is butt-ugly and a resource hog. Plus, quality of roms on Samsung devices won't be better than those on Sony. (Note, I'm saying quality, not quantity)

Battery life varies with person, judging by people's reports, battery life is good.

No, I don't think so. The 'protector' is just there to prevent the glass pieces from shattering and hurting you. In case the glass breaks, the pieces will remain stuck to the 'shatter proof layer' i.e. the 'protector'.

If the glass breaks, it won't be covered under warranty anyway, so there shouldn't be any problems regarding removal of the shatter proof layer. Still, better e-mail Sony and ask them directly (don't bother asking the salesman, they know less than us; the other day I overheard one say that a single core is as good as a dual core !)

I dunno about that. Earlier review models had the logo on the protector, for current models I have no idea.
[Xperia Z General] anjath:
Yes.the logo continues to come off for current models as well.

My ZL came with a screenprotector in box. However when I removed the plastic film sheet that was on screen notice that it seems income with a preinstalled screen Protector. Is the in box screenprotector an extra one or has to be put over that preinstalled one?
[Xperia Z General] DeathlessOne:
The one pre applied isn't a screen protector. It's known as shatter proof sheet, it's protects the glass from breaking into pieces when it gets shattered. The one which comes in box is a normal screen protector. Applying or removing those is upto you. If you prefer utmost protection, you can apply both or leave it with only the shatter proof sheet

Ironman 3 is just a **** game. Downloaded it on my iPad 3 and the graphics suck like anything. Very blurry character models with no smoothing at all. However the game itself is an arcade style flying where you move sideways and shoot robots. That's what the whole game is. NO THIRD PERSON STYLE ACTION AND ADVENTURE AS YOU EXPECT. It's over with Ironman 2. That's why purposely gameloft released the game as free and bombarded it with in-app purchases. To be frank guys Z is far better off without it. You'll even love temple run better. Even graphics iOS suck real time. I hope they would've messed it even worse in Android. Terribly hating it.

A strange thing happened today. I washed my phone and after washing, the speaker volume went incredibly low. Then I read online that if you let it dry and keep it on charging, the speaker becomes normal. Tried that and it worked. So if anyone else faces the same issue, make sure to keep it on charging and let the water dry out.
[Xperia Z General] Kunwar.g:
On my ZL when i put volume on full the voice on calls seems as if its vibrating. May not be explain it properly, but it seems the speaker is not fitted well and hence there seems to be some vibration in the sound. if i just reduce the volume by 1 step it goes away and the voice is clear. but i must say that the call volume is low on the phone. Any way to increase it.
[Xperia Z General] Kunwar.g:
Also can someone guide where is the settings for the LED notification on the ZL. Dont get led notification for missed calls , sms or emails. The LED does work though while charging, phot viewing, music

My friend bought the Xperia Z last week and he hates the phone. He wants to return it and get a different phone (one or s4).

Is there any way to convince the store to take it back in exchange of a different phone ?

I'm asking this because they have this policy in US and some other countries where you can return the phone if not satisfied and pick a different one, while the store or the provider just returns them to the manufacturer (in this case Sony).

I'm wondering if Sony has a similar policy here in India ?

Bought from : Magnet store, Irla, Mumbai

Same policy will never be applicable in India as no one will purchase any phone here. Everybody will return after 21 days and get another.

[Xperia Z General] Bl!GhT:
Will I have to pay customs duties? Are there import costs?

If you are within the UK or the European Union, you should not be held responsible for import/customs duties. Outside of the EU your local customs duties and legislation will apply. Often the import fees are related to the type of item and its value. If you want more information on import fees, you will need to contact your local authorities or use www.dutycalculator.com for a guide to costs you may incur.

So pretty much the cost is above 40000 INR my friend.

Total customs value:	INR39370.07

- Duty:	INR0.00

- Landing charges:	INR393.70

- Countervailing duty:	INR3976.38

- CESS:	INR119.29

- Education CESS:	INR134.68

- Additional customs duty:	INR0.00

- VAT:	INR0.00

Total import duty & taxes due:	INR4624.05

Total landed cost:	INR43994.12
[Xperia Z General] DeathlessOne:
The 37290 INR consists of shipping fees from FedEX, the handset alone costs 36000 INR! What are custom taxes? In clove they say that only people inside EU have to pay VAT and outside EU are VAT exempt. Doesnt it mean that the nett price is 37290? I cant afford above 38k. So please guide me guys. If i have to pay custom duties, when, how and where will i Pay it?

Actually FedEx will pay the taxes for you and you will have to pay them upon receiving the product. While paying the amount insist on the receipt.

This isn't even remotely a Samsung thread let alone the Galaxy S3. Post your questions in the right forum or better yet stop being lazy & just Google it.

Ofcourse your going to be hit by taxes. Your importing an electronic device & you didn't even bother to research it even a bit!? I'm surprised you could even think that you wouldn't be taxed based on what an international website would say. EU or American countries just give tax disclaimers for their region but your always find that tiny little star says T&C apply. The device is total is easily going to set you back by around 40k.

I think you should either start Googling immediately to find out what kind of a situation you've gotten yourself in or wait for someone else to help you out like the knowledgeable bloke who just gave you the break down of taxes that would be levied on you (you can go to the Nexus 4 Indian thread as all of them would have mostly taken the import route) or just cancel the order before you get into trouble.
