Any news on availability of charging dock DK-26 for Z ?
[Xperia Z General] ethan3686:
I have one dead pixel...But i dont bother coz u cant see it at all!...Its not worth going to servixce centre and give them for weeks!
[Xperia Z General] kannanX10:
for new devices u can claim DOA and get a replacement on the same day
[Xperia Z General] dmadhur:
you'll have to go to the service center as most probably it'll increase

[Xperia Z General] mysterio619:
it looks white tiny dot......its visible only when clearly seen in black or grey background.......

@all

today i had been to service centre and demanded a replacement.......but they told 1 dead pixel is normal.....i was like "u gotta be kidding me why the heck would i buy a defective piece for 38k........stayed there two hours..........after speaking to his higher officials......finally he told me to submit the set and it would take 7-8 days.....not sure whether he mentioned replacement.........i'm happy if the issue is resolved...........lol i forgot to install a clean firmware.......he was wondering why the status bar and nav bar i s black.........finally i told him that i'll take a backup of data and would submit it tomo

Mobile phone screen only 5inch you can

Replace your phone Sony no rules dead pixel go to service center argument with then they replace your phone

Sony have a rules about LCD 3 dead pixel are ok but phone is not ok

I think they replace your phone:thumbup:

IndiaTimes Shopping... *Sigh*

Anyone who has purchased from IndiaTimes Shopping has received their order as yet ? i placed my order on the 13th of March but only yesterday they have marked it as shipped but the Tracking number has not yet been activated on the courier website even. Produces no results on searching for tracking.

anyone elses experiences would really help. please advice :)
[Xperia Z General] DeathlessOne:
Buddy first lemme admit that well you have hell of a patience, for that I appreciate you :)

Second, the tracking number needs about 24 hrs to get activated and in some rare cases it may even need 1 nd a half day to get activated. The next is the very rarest of cases where though the number don't get activated, but the shipment might get delivered and aft that if you check it suddenly it wud pop up the details instantly and show it has been delivered! This has happened to me a numerous times! So no worrying, get yourself ready and hold your breath for the beast is heading towards your way. If you're into modding and customising, then prep yourself with the required tools like flashtool and such now itself! Good luck!

The apps Google play movies and google play magazines were hidden from my device till now! When using Titanium Backup, i found out and enabled them. Does someone know why Sony did this so? Or is it normal? Am in stock 350 rooted!

Awesome thing noticed..... My WiFi turns on automatically at home and office..... M using battery guru....

Love this feature
[Xperia Z General] buBleZ:
ummm.. That's a normal feature. Am I missing something? it is there in my 2 year old 9K phone. Whenever already added wifi network is detected it automatically connects
[Xperia Z General] DooMLoRD:
It's called location/time/usage based Wi-Fi... When you are out of the usual access location the Wi-Fi is switched off to conserve battery... Later when required Wi-Fi will automatically be switched on...
[Xperia Z General] anjath:
how much did u buy it for? will they ship it only after the price reduces? that's ridiculous!!!
[Xperia Z General] yudi7:
There's a feature in XZ, Location based wifi. It automatically turns on wifi when we are at home or office or wherever we've a saved wifi. It doesn't just gets connected but also turns wifi on and off according to the location. Eg. You've a saved wifi at home. Whenever you leave home wifi gets turned off. And when you get home it gets on and gets connected.

Doomlord already answered.
[Xperia Z General] buBleZ:
Thanks for the clarification. But that means you will be spending more battery in keeping the location based services on (probably gps/gprs) than keeping wifi on?
[Xperia Z General] yudi7:
Maybe. But I think checking for location at certain intervals will save more battery than keeping wifi on and constantly searching for wifi networks. You could turn this feature off if you want, from Power Management.

hi does anyone know how can i get my tata sky stb connected to the remote .. manual setup doesnt work and digicomp isnt listed on the list ..

any sugguestions ?? :confused:

XPERIA ZL here btw
[Xperia Z General] sdhanush1:
Just adding this here. I ordered from Next Retail with huge doubt as they are not very well known but were offering at a discount of 4000 which was a steal then. I was supposed to get it within a week but they took 10 days as there was some holidays during the period but nonetheless i got it. And luckily without any dead pixels. So if anyone wants to buy they are offering a discount of 3000 now.
[Xperia Z General] Kunwar.g:
I see that most are going for XZ and not for XZL when its cheaper, with same specs and tad better to hold at approx 3K cheaper. Am i missing something or everyone feels water and dust proof is really a great feature for so many.
[Xperia Z General] amankapoor4:
Z looks much better then the ZL, that enough is a reason for me.
[Xperia Z General] ethan3686:
Looks is the reason i got the z instead of zl.. 2 yrs from now i will be still proud to look at it :)
[Xperia Z General] amankapoor4:
lol, who will own a Z two year down the lane, average life of a smartphone is 10 months, then you have the itch to get the next one :P
[Xperia Z General] ethan3686:
contract people own it for 2 yrs :/
[Xperia Z General] Dpk1:
It's because many think Z is better as Sony is promoting the Z more, at least that's what I'm told by the local retailers here. And looks are a matter of personal preference. I prefer the ergonomics n looks of ZL, so went for it and am more than happy with it. People just don't believe that it has a 5" screen (as it seems smaller) :D! No need to buy something that others say is better. Buy what u like or suits ur needs better, gud luck!

Is there ne one else who is facing d problem with the xperia z freezing randomly or its just my xz..!!

Can ne1 plz tell if there is ne solution to this, my xz freezes randomly, nd I hv not yet rooted it..!!

Sent from my GT-I9300
[Xperia Z General] ethan3686:
Is there an easier method of unrooting the XZ without installing the stock firmware? I need to send it to the service centre due to dead pixel :(
[Xperia Z General] Dpk1:
If ur BL is still stock (ie locked), and u have the stock rom & kernel, then a full factory reset should do. But any apps disabled/uninstalled using titanium backup must be restored first. It worked for me (on ZL). If ur on custom rom/kernel then I think u have no choice but to flash full stock rom using Flashtool.
[Xperia Z General] ethan3686:
Yes i did it and i m on stock but still have CWM recovery and black nav bar..How to remove that?
[Xperia Z General] Mandeep148:
Hii guys...

M from india.. and

M looking for this device. .

Actually m using Note 2..

Should I sell it now for buying xperia z,

It's looks great...

One thing I dont like in xperia z that the viewing angles and black levels are not good...
[Xperia Z General] sameer869:
As far as the viewing angles r concerned let me clarify tat the screen is just superb nd the v angles are not at all bad, it's more of a negative perception goin on nd nothing more dn tat. Other dn tat d device is The Fastest out there in d market atm, so u can surely go for it. :)

Can't say if u should sell ur note 2 or not though ...!!
[Xperia Z General] DooMLoRD:
simple solution...

go to sony center..

compare both devices side-by-side

then decide urself :p
[Xperia Z General] Dpk1:
I sold mine (Note2) & bought the ZL, and am loving it. I did a short comparison of the two here (post #913). As said above look for the device in person so u may compare & decide for yourself. About selling Note2, I think now u can get a good deal, but expect it to drop once S4 hits the stores here.

---------- Post added at 11:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:47 PM ----------

In that case, I'm afraid u need to flash full stock rom for India via Flashtool.
[Xperia Z General] yudi7:
Via Flashtool, not Odin.
[Xperia Z General] Dpk1:
Oops :p.. yup right via Flashtool. Lol, it somehow skipped my mind that I'm back to sony now :D!

P.S: Corrected my previous post. Thanks.

F'ing IndiaTimes

Finally received my device yesterday afternoon.. its almost been a month long wait after paying IndiaTimes Shopping on 13thMarch... got it for a steal at 34000 with all the freebies (headfones and case).. the wait killed me .. but nonetheless its finally here.. love my device... now for some initial tests and observations...

F IndiaTimes Shoppping.. Just saying...
[Xperia Z General] demonicangell™:
what are the headphones ? xperia z or zl ?
[Xperia Z General] Aman27deep:
You've saved nearly 3.5k mate! Just saying.
[Xperia Z General] ethan3686:
Now u can get a 64gb mem card by saving that much!
[Xperia Z General] Aman27deep:
Exactly. Plus everyone knows they take that long to deliver.
[Xperia Z General] anjath:
Is the case color matching the phone color we choose? What about the headset?

is the India Times offer still available? What's the coupon code?
[Xperia Z General] Filth.Injector:
The free headphones I received are Sony's MDR-ZX100 ( came in white ) retails at INR 750 in stores on box it claims to be INR1490 :P also with it is a Book like Flip case which luckily came in matching color to the device in Black....

I doubt you will get the Headphones and Case offer now. But the IndiaTimes site still has ongoing discounts and offers all the time. Really long wait but got the phone for cheap..

If you are willing to wait for it for long then no worries... but be prepared for a Ton of mindfcuk and nagging their CC on a daily basis to get your device out for delivery lol...

o n btw it was an Xperia Z not ZL for those asking... i guess the ZL also should have similar discounts but the Headfones and Case offer will unlikely be available either way as it was a preorder offer..

Just checked The site they have a coupon code running - MOBDEALS
[Xperia Z General] anjath:
don't see any mention of flip cover and head set now. When you were purchasing, was it mentioned in the page that you will be getting it? the prices have officially come down to around 36k and includes all freebies. so 35k without freebies plus one month wait is absolutely not a good deal :)

[Xperia Z General] Filth.Injector:
when i purchased there was a mention of the freebies case & headphones.. its still available on flipkart without any discount but with the freebies...

the cradle is mainly a charging dock and stand... to avoid having to open the flaps everytime to charge via MicroUSB and creating that tension on the flaps... longer life and retain that water resistance that we all love :)

[Xperia Z General] anjath:
Hi. Does the Z selling in India come with screen protector already on both sides or do I need to buy one separately for the front and back?
[Xperia Z General] Cookie Ninja:
Comes in the box. You've to remove the protective film that comes with the phone and apply the film that's in the box.

Dead cookies leave no trails...
[Xperia Z General] anjath:
So I get two protectors in the box? For front and back each?
[Xperia Z General] Cookie Ninja:
Yup. One for the front & one for the back. I haven't applied the back protector as yet, don't feel the need so far... Using the freebie cover.

it comes preapplied...

there is another set in the box...

[Xperia Z General] #illidan:
Again we have different technology which even the Z won't have be able to cater to & that's why the 920 had to back track on the claim that there were 4G standard complaint in India (although it wasn't the LTE technology but the frequency band that was the show stopper) but a Mi-Fi would help sort out the major LTE technology issue. Keeping the LTE technology used aside even if you've read the white paper properly & researched this a bit which I have you will find that the Z doesn't operate on any frequency which is used for 4G in India & that is currently the 2300 MHz spectrum. The 700 MHz frequency which is used as 4G network standard by AT&T in America will be auctioned shortly by the GOI but based on my knowledge of mobile networks (& after a lot of Googling right now) I can assure you that it will be of no use as the fundamental technology which we use it different as compared to the rest of the world.

Secondly pricing for 4G will have to be seen before even decides to that we need to get a LTE capable handset. Seeing 3G pricing & adoption I'm not optimistic on that front but Mukesh Ambani owned Reliance could be the game changer that the mobile industry needs atleast on the Internet space.

You forgot to mention Kolkata also which has Airtel 4G.

[Xperia Z General] Anirudh.Ragi:
That was a very useful info :)

But your right itz more of the spectrum and yeah right now 4G LTE has not started widely in India.

3G adoption rates are not too good as people are unaware of it's uses, or people do not even require the mobile Internet.

Also we do not have proper GPS or map guiding to use the full 3G.

Anywayz the use of 3G/LTE depends on personal choice. :)

You really sure customs is prepaid and you don't have to pay anything when its delivered to your doorstep?

Pretty interested in trying out the phone.
[Xperia Z General] Bl!GhT:
I am pretty skeptical about this.

Just two weeks ago i was collecting details for importing the korean version of the samsung galaxy note 2. The people who worked there made me wait to meet the administrative head. I remember his name being Mr Badri, and when i told him that i wanted to import such a phone, he corrected me telling that it was a phablet(which i already knew), He then told the custom duties would be levied anywhere from 2500 - 5000 INR for the phone. But since this is a phablet he made it clear that i would have to pay no less than 5000 INR as customs. Followed by providing the paypal/card statement which shows the original value of the item.:confused:

I think you have paid extra for shipping and transit insurance. The seller agreement on the site says that any customs levied should be borne by the buyer.:silly:
[Xperia Z General] DeathlessOne:
Thinking of pre orderin but clove.co.uk has a better deal, with a slight increase in price but comes with a NFC wireless Sony speakers. Fairly good deal, isnt it? Thats what am confused about! Handtec or clove!! Clove is at 37290 INR.. Wat do you guys say?

[Xperia Z General] nickandre21:
if it says it can synchronize while on the cradle, then for sure it uses the usb port, i doubt the docking points on te phone would support data, so it means you keep the flaps open on the cradle.

The sony dock should be around 1200-1500 just my guesses the guy at the sony centre told me that sony has not intimidated them of any specific xperia-z/ xperia zl accessories as yet so we have to wait for them to come out.

By the way a few of my friends are trying hard to get hold of the black xperia z is there some kind of shortage? or they released limited pieces.
[Xperia Z General] DooMLoRD:
I am planning to buy a charging dock... Has anyone bought any dock here in India?

If possible I would want a dock which supports USB-OTG + HDMI + USB charging...
[Xperia Z General] nickandre21:
so i collected my freebies today was super annoyed when i compared it with the same non white zx100 the retail versions quality and sound was way better in huge leaps in terms of smooth bass reproduction and highs it sounded realistic while on the free one it sounds weird and jars alot also the retail one has abit of noise isolation and is comfortable. The free one is super plasticy i questioned the guy at the store why this? sir what can you expect out of free goods? But then why is this crap 1500? sir sound is better in this one its made for the xperia z. at once i blasted him

dont give me this nonsense of made for xperia z there no mic on it, its just three pinned.

The cover is miserable i could get a better one for 50 bucks outside any railway station. I miss the leather pouches SE used to provide.

Although i wasnt even going to use the freebies, its still miserable that we stand cheated by sonys sub standard freebies. They shouldnt have even offered them in the first place!

here are a few pictures.
[Xperia Z General] amankapoor4:
Honestly, Blasting a sales rep is no good, what is his fault, not like that he is giving you that freebie. He is just trying to console you. Even i was disappointed with the Freebie, but redirect your anger to right direction, not to some poor chap doing his job.
[Xperia Z General] nickandre21:
agreed not right to blast him. he was the store incharge, the same guy kept delaying and avoiding my calls about the freebies till this morning. When asked politely he told me in a rude manner what can you expect from freebies sir. At the same time he should show a little bit of respect to a customer right?

and by the way my box did not have a scratch guard in it, besides the ones already applied, he said he would get me that as well still hasnt. Anyone knows where i can get a good one, seems like my back is getting fine scraches on it.
