so i did a bit of experimenting these few days and can conclude that if i keep the phone on charge whole night and use it the battery capacity stays at 7-9/10 hrs depending on my usage which includes gaming music bluetooth whatsapp facebook, but if i take it of the charger and use it till the battery drops down to 90-96% or any where near and keep it on charge back till its at 100 the battery backup gives around 12-14 hours with same amount of usage. Guess you guys who face bad battery life can give this a try.

Just my findings/assumptions it seems to give good times for me. 3-4 hours of screen time included in usage seems pretty good if not decent.

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

Good news!

Just got this from Vodafone...
[Xperia Z General] nickandre21:
once again how did you activate this plan?
[Xperia Z General] ksantu37:
Make sure you insert a Vodafone SIM. And you would get a message from Vodafone saying, 8GB free 3g/2g plan would be activated in 24 hours.

JFYI. Yest i got the mobile, i checked with Vodafone store person in my office and he said, i get only 2gb of 3g data for free. But yesterday night i got a message saying 8GB free data plan will be activated in 24 hours :good:

@Indian users

Xperia Z dock (white) is available:

http://in.mobilefun.com/38395-sony-xperia-z-dk26-charging-dock---white.htm

But black color is out of stock and the shipping itself is almost as expensive as the dock. Any idea where else I can get it ?

[Xperia Z General] nickandre21:
Just checked with my sony store guy if my freebies have come, he says only white cover is available black ones out of stock.

Il be checking on the free 3g thing today i have high doubts that due to my sim card still being hutch and not vodafone

edit: had a chat with the toll free people, they acknowledge that the offer is being offered with xperia z you need to insert a vodafone sim in the phone and it automatically activates in 24hrs. Since it did not for my number he asked me to provide details like when did i insert the sim and my imei number, he has taken down my complaint and said they would call back and activate the plan.

8gb for 2 months sounds cool now i need not be restricted to my 12gb dongle while traveling within india.

[Xperia Z General] nickandre21:
brightness at 50% auto, stamina mode on used wifi for 9 hours a few days back out of which it had 3hours screen time. gave me around 10 1/2 hours.

I take my phone out of charge at 100% use it sometime plug it back and i get a good life but if i just use it without putting it back on charge the life is lower by 10--15%
[Xperia Z General] DooMLoRD:
it got automatically activated...

the plan is for 8GB each month for 2 months!

i had bought the phone more than 10 days ago... i think once Sony forwards the customer list (phone numbers) to Vodafone the plans get updated or may be the network operator just enables the data plan when it sees this device in its configuration list....

the white one looks really nice... i am planning to get one...

Indian users holding on to buy device should act quickly and buy asap... Prices will be going up by ~ Rs 2000 because of added taxation in this year's budget... Act fast before stocks of device "run out"... Price increase should be reflected post 1st April...

Thats strange ,if the app is not preloaded I think you should take it back to the vendor and ask for a replacement or get it installed.As you are eligible for free 6months subscription as part of the sony promo.

Guys i wud suggest all of u to get the XZ like i did..I didnt take the freebies (AS THEY ARE PATHETIC) Refuse to take them and get the phone at a cheaper price.. I got it for 35k, 4 days back..

Abkut the case.. Get the S-line case from ebay.. Its amazing and retains the quality of Z when put on.
[Xperia Z General] amankapoor4:
they refuse to keep the freebies in bangalore and do not offer discount in exchange
[Xperia Z General] mysterio619:
but i have hdfc credit card.....and though i dont prefer buying using credit card since i have cash......and @ethan as aman said they wont give u discount if u refuse freebies.....already tried asking that........thinking of buying it in croma since they provide extended warranty[not sure is worth though]

[Xperia Z General] amankapoor4:
I ran the test on the shop itself, put your sim and download the app it is hardly 500 KB. I would suggest buy from Sangeetha even if you have to pay 38, you will get freebies + bluetooth handsfree.
[Xperia Z General] mysterio619:
if a dead pixel is found would he exchange to another piece?? since he has opened the seal of the box

[Xperia Z General] nickandre21:
got some time this evening to fiddle with the cameras settings. My verdict? its miserable to much noise/grainy pics tried getting the iso to lowest possible still no improvements. hdr of or on still the same burst mode pics are okayish. Major let down sony, i guess if sony tweaked some drivers maybe it could help i tried applying some touches on aperture it does help a bit.

tried the movie editor as well good app fairly easy to use for everyone else. It exports files faster then fcp does.

Battery life is good infact very good, while my friends or colleagues batteries are about to die mine still keeps going.

for now my wishes are for some improvements to the camera, and camera start up. Other then that the display does seem to lack a tad bit in contrast but no viewing angle issue. Over a week now and shes doing fine.

Anyybody has some discount coupon from ebay? Will be ver grateful :)

price will be 36K to 38K depending on how strong Indian Rupees will be according to my source in Sony. He/she said most probly will be Rs36990..

Will be available by 1st week or march max.

Those who cant afford can buy grey market piece only for 23K though i do not encourage it :P
[Xperia Z General] ethan3686:
All the people saying XPERIA Z is gonna be 36k in india need to be careful here..You really expect that sony , who is selling it for 45K[EU] and 800$ [US] will sell the phone around 9k cheaper in india? Why? Is the govt reducing tax on them? Lets not get to unrealistic conclusions and be real!

If thats the price outside it will be around the same or 1k/2k less,,,IF it is less. From my experience it has always been more than US.

Still its way expensive! Sony should have been competent in the most important segment..Pricing!
[Xperia Z General] arpith.fbi:
Xperia Z wont survive in india if it is priced 45K or more..!!

[Xperia Z General] #illidan:
23K grey market!? That must be some grey market where a phone is being sold 40% below MRP. You won't get such rates in a black market also.

I really don't understand people basing their justification of their pricing strategies solely on prices in the international markets. Don't they know anything about marketing, taxation & economics? You can't making throw a number saying that would be its approx price by just converting dollars or euros with the days exchange rate for rupee. Indian sites never get pricing right. They always base their estimates on past history & international price conversions.

We all should just sit back & relax because the ball is in Sony's court. Needless speculation & throwing around websites that never get it right isn't going to help.

Sony LTE Coverage

I also wish for LTE model, however from developer sonymobile web site artical "lte-coverage-for-xperia-smartphones", it looks like we are going to get HSPA+ model.

Sorry, Since I am new can not post link to artical.
[Xperia Z General] ethan3686:
Because thats the only logical way to know or have an idea of what the price is going to be. Look at the HTC BUTTERFLY. It was expected to be around 43k acc to the international pricing and it came for 45k now in india. That is close and quite accurate. Same goes for SXZ.
[Xperia Z General] SEFanX10i:
Dudes please stop saying the same thing again and again and again !!!

Do you think Sony Center guys are idiots ? They got the price from the distributor. Do you think they will say on launch day" Sorry Sir we said 36 but its 46k so pay 10k extra !!!"

As thunderising posted, the price is 36k. End of story. We don't need guys converting UK/USA/Utopia prices and saying Z will be 45k or 95k in India. Please.
[Xperia Z General] arpith.fbi:
According to my source it will be HSPA+ and not LTE..BUt they have plans to lauch LTE+ later when 2 or more networks starts giving the service :)

Now that might be the reason why it will be lil cheaper than UK or US :D
[Xperia Z General] #illidan:
I'm not going to beat a dead horse (the pricing issue) so I'm just going to wait & see what is Sony has planned for us.

Umm dudes sorry to burst your extremely high speed internet dreams but who provides LTE in India? That's right, nobody. Just because Japanese & Korean smartphone versions have TV tuners doesn't mean we need to get them as well. Our Chinese neighbours as well as our LTE network runs on different technology (TD LTE) as compared to the rest of the world (FD LTE) . We along with them will ony get HSPA+ version until phone manufacturers start conforming to our standards.

Yes i agree right now we do not have much LTE network, but Nokia Lumia 920 when launchd had 9 LTE region support(but cannot be used in india) and was confirmed, though now the website does show about LTE.

The Xperia Z LTE model white paper says its world ready LTE frequency, so whatz wrong to buy a LTE model :) :angel:
