i know but if this dock needs the flaps open then it would stress them out even more and defeat the purpose of even buying one. However i like the looks of this dock you posted might consider buying one but only after being 100% sure that the flaps dont need to be opened. Btw is data transfer possible with only two connector points?
[Xperia Z General] karun11:
DK26 is only for charging. Without opening the flaps. That's all it does. I'm still getting it though.
[Xperia Z General] anjath:
in that case, why go for DK26. you could go for the Cover-Mate Desktop Cradle right? heard we can charge through laptops as well. DK26 works only on AC mains.

I bought a NILLKIN case from ebay.in,excellent product,since shipping was from hongkong took around 15 days,but its a great case
[Xperia Z General] nickandre21:
im not much of a case fan heck i dont use a case for my ipad or even a sleve for my mbp but this case has got my eyes how much did you pay it looks stunning
[Xperia Z General] piyushjeswani:
It looks amazing. Can you share the link to purchase the product.
[Xperia Z General] anjath:
also could you share the real pics with the case on your phone. thanks :)
[Xperia Z General] mathen:
Sure ,I was a bit lazy ,here is the original pic.The seller ships the item to his location in India and then sends it through domestic courier (I think),price was around 1500 .The box has one spare set of screen guard too
[Xperia Z General] DeathlessOne:
Idont konow about data transfer via pins either, but i hope this dock wouldn't require flaps to be opened! They cant be stressed by opening inside those either! Will be buying soon, if anyone knows some better info on this dock, then please do share before I buy!

Gave my XPERIA Z [bought 18 march] for replacement on friday due to 4 dead pixels..Gve me 1 week time..hope new one doesnt have them..I m not gonna replace again! :(
[Xperia Z General] mysterio619:
Mine too gave it on friday,,,,,,,would be getting it this friday.......a sony rep called me and asked whether i would be given white z since black was out of stock(he told it would be delivered by three days).......but i refused......he told me wait until next friday.......hope my replaced phone has no dead pixel or stuck pixel and jdc panel would be a bonus.....he told it would be couriered from delhi sony center
[Xperia Z General] nickandre21:
I wonder why the black ones are out of stock, my friends are trying super hard to get it. I hope you get the black one soon.

My phone fell twice today due to my absent mindedness once in the morning from my bed side table right on its screen and once from a chairs armrest right on the back loud noise it made but still intact. not even a crack is the phone impact resistant to? Im am for sure enjoying this phone.
[Xperia Z General] dhirajmishra:
After 3 replacements its a Dead Pixel Free Z........

I had to get it replaced thrice & Fourth was the lucky one 4 me.....Finally got a dead or stuck pixel free Z.....Seriously Sony's quality control especially for their Display sucks.....

And yeah Flipkart was really helpful to carry out those replacements without any hassle & within a short time period.....I exchanged the device thrice within a short period of 20 days.....
[Xperia Z General] demonicangell™:
anyone knows where can i get xperia zl cases online ??

i dont seem to find anything even after googling it :confused:

hasnt released every where i guess
[Xperia Z General] mathen:
Its Sonys fault itself,even though ZL is a superb phone they are concentrating on marketing Z! So that makes Z popular ,hence accessories are more available.

try this ,not of much quality

http://www.ebay.in/sch/Cases-Pouches-/20349/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=sony+xperia+zL
[Xperia Z General] anjath:
the black one is available on almost all online stores? why can't your friends buy online? i think now purple is running out of stock.

---------- Post added at 08:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:07 AM ----------

is shopclues.com a good place to buy? they giving great deals. today is last day. but don't know how their service is going to be.
[Xperia Z General] nickandre21:
thing is going to a shop and getting the phone on the spot is a different experience rather then odering online and waiting for some number of days and delays and that to with tension of when my order will come. Hence they are not looking as online shopping as an option. Even i dont prefer online shopping unless its a product not available in the city
[Xperia Z General] anjath:
i can guarantee that flipkart and ebay never delays. i have so many times every month and not once i had an issue. they say the maximum possible time for safety. 95% of the time i got it in 3 or 4 days, even to remote areas.

snapdeal is okay to some extent.

stay away from indiatimes.

PS: while buying on ebay make sure seller has ratings above 90%. nothing else to worry.

HTC One for 42990...

http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_one_launched_in_india_for__837742990-news-5830.php

HTC always Overpriced...
[Xperia Z General] anjath:
still HTC have improved considerably. mrp of 43k would mean a street price of around 39k hopefully. sony also used to overprice last year.
[Xperia Z General] amankapoor4:
ya HTC one X also had a printed MRP of 41,990 when it launched but sold for 38k. SO we can expect 39-40k street price, which is a very good price.
[Xperia Z General] dhirajmishra:
Dude Flipkart was the first online shop atleast in India to ship it as soon as it came in their stock, i got mine on 16th when people who ordered from other sites were still waiting......On the other hand it was Sony's fault as they delayed in providing stocks to these online retailers.....

For me FK delivered what it promised.......

& they exchanged my phone thrice.....As of now other people are still struggling in Sony Centers to get a replacement because of those nasty dead pixels but i got mine sitting at home without any special efforts......
[Xperia Z General] anjath:
sitting at home? how? do they come over and take back the phone? within how many days do we need to make sure phone is in good condition to avail replacement?
[Xperia Z General] BleedingIris:
+1

Ya explain
[Xperia Z General] amankapoor4:
See the reason FK did not ship the phone out was they were trying to save money in shipping, they had the phones, they did not have the freebies, and they did not want to ship them out independently, they lost out on some customers to save them 50 bucks. Phone was easily available across the board on 8th, and this justifies the person who made the post that why order online when you get it at same price locally.

As for replacement can you tell me how did you get a replacement sitting at home as others asked..
[Xperia Z General] dhirajmishra:
You just have to inform them about the defect & if its covered under manufacturer's warranty, they'll send the replacement product.....They'll deliver the replacement product & at the same time will be taking the defective one back with them after inspecting it's contents properly..... the courier guy will even provide an acknowledgement slip for the same......

They've a 30 days replacement policy which starts from the day the product gets delivered.......in case your product is defective & you get the product replaced, the 30 days replacement policy duration for the new replaced product will start from the day it gets delivered, so no worries even if the new one is also having some fault....
[Xperia Z General] anjath:
that's very good service i must say. hats off to FlipKart! But how did you find out about the "dead" pixel issue? is it identifiable in a dark room?
[Xperia Z General] amankapoor4:
Very good service, did not know about this one.
[Xperia Z General] anjath:
FYI, even FabFurnish is providing similar customer service. but in this case they take back the product from our home. Then they sent the new product as per requirement. but again this is no way related to Xperia or any electronic devices ;)
[Xperia Z General] dhirajmishra:
Increase the screen brightness to max & uncheck the Adapt to light Conditions option -

1) Just dial *#*#7378423#*#* , go to service tests, then to display & check out the screen in various background colours especially black one......

2) put a black wallpaper on the screen & check for bright pointy pixels......

3) download detect & fix dead pixel app from play & check the screen in various background colours..........

Any of the above methods will work.......

Any hopes for a price cut before the htc one comes to stores? Xperia still selling close to 38k
[Xperia Z General] amankapoor4:
Seeing that One is priced at 43k, Sony can pretty much hold on to the 38k price tag for some more time.
[Xperia Z General] DooMLoRD:
I think Sony will reduce price to around 35k for the Z and 32k for the ZL
[Xperia Z General] anjath:
Sounds very likely.just saw its already selling for 35k in a couple of stores with all freebies.
[Xperia Z General] demonicangell™:
i bought the ZL for 33k from a store here in mumbai .. (aplha,irla ...with bill)Z was still on 37k

so its cheaper than flipkart ..
[Xperia Z General] anjath:
ZoomIn.com looks like a nice place to buy. I have ordered one for 35000 with all the freebies plus a 16gb microSD card and a flipbook with custom photo prints.

Apart from this you also get ZoomIn care plan for a year where they will come home to pick and drop in case of warranty issues (similar to flipkart i guess). For additional 1500 bucks you get one year extended manufacturers warranty. Everything sounds great but let's see how fast they will deliver. Hoping next week. Will keep you updated.

hey guys,

whats the procedure to get the 3g offer on vodafone prepaid?
[Xperia Z General] slimshaddy.:
do you know when :D i might buy the phone in april end but still don't want to go above 30k.

can i know why did you prefer the zl over the z ? i'm too thinking of zl only because of the compact size. can you use the phone with one hand easily ?
[Xperia Z General] DeathlessOne:
I hope the offer is over buddy! If not, the mobile has to be bought within march 18th i think to qualify!
[Xperia Z General] Cookie Ninja:
My only issue after getting the phone was that I couldn't find Katrina Kaif, with the boxed components or the freebies.....

Dead cookies leave no trails...

That offer was only with the 1st phone that was purchased and I believe Salman did the booking for that way before the phone was launched in india :) :silly: :D

indiatimes shopping is giving away xperia Z for 33400. if someones interested let me know. but be adviced that you may have to wait even three weeks to get the phone.
[Xperia Z General] nickandre21:
and so i experienced what a few people spoke of their phones not waking up. I pulled out the phone from my pocket to make a call pressed the power button to wake the phone up to my pattern lock screen the screen came on and the screen then went blank. Pressed power button numerous times even held it for a few seconds but nothing no activity from the led either. I though of the hard reset option but dint remember the exact combination so pressed the power button along with one of the volume control buttons and finally the phone started back up. Later that evening i was doing some internet surfing and mails the back portion of the phone became super hot it was uncomfortable to hold it, locked the screen and kept te phone aside for a minute till temperatures went down no issues post that.
[Xperia Z General] anjath:
that's weird. anyone know the cause for this? are you on the latest firmware. sounds more like a software issue.

for all those who are planning on purchasing Z|ZL.

don't check the demo unit , the screen as well as the camera sucks in the demo unit. i compared it with sales guy's phone and it was much much better from the demo unit.

contrast and blacks were much better and the camera had a great improvement

i didn't check the firmware , checked colors and camera at full brightness.

As such the Xperia Z doesn't need a case being IP 57 certified.. Thats the main reason I have it as it came..:victory:

Just my opinion... you can do whatever you like mate... :good:

[Xperia Z General] hanim:
folks,

please, a little advise here.. I have unlocked the boot loader and rooted the phone. And PC suite says that I cant install .434 since the software is different.

There is a lot of .434 firmwares in dev section. Some says, unbranded, generic etc.. Which one should I choose? Will those work with our phone(@India)?
[Xperia Z General] anjath:
the dock i think is not officially released in India. Couldn't find anything on the Sony website either. Might have to wait a while.

Hey everyone,

My ZL is hardly a week old but I'm experiencing very bad battery behaviour.IT doesn't survive even 10 hours. I'm on stock Rom And don't intend to root it either.

Any suggestions?
[Xperia Z General] mysterio619:
use the phone until it drains completely.....charge it till its full and repeat this cycle 4-5 times(i prefer charging when the phone is switched off)......maybe u might see a difference
[Xperia Z General] DeathlessOne:
Just be patient dude, it takes up about weeks even a month for the battery to settle up. Give up some good charge cycles like charging up after reaching 10% to full without a break and try discharging it totally and charging to full without break every 2 weeks. Believe me, you will see a difference coz even at first my Z struggled for only 6 hours now it lasts for about 1and a half days!
