One query I have, for those who got free case and head phone.

What color of headphone you get with black color "Z" ?

Shop from which I purchased they are saying I will get white.

I purchased "Z" on 7th March, still did not received case and headphone.
[Xperia Z General] mysterio619:

This happens when u root with locked bootloader. No great shakes, if you flash stock rom thru seus it goes back to 'unlocked'.

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

Slight contrast improvement to the screen, increase in battery life.
[Xperia Z General] karun11:
update through pc companion? battery life improved?
[Xperia Z General] Aman27deep:
Re: Sony Xperia Z/Zl [Indian users] pre-order started

Did the battery life really improve? I'm downloading a game's update now, will update later today.
[Xperia Z General] nickandre21:
ive clocked 8 1/2 hours now and about 67% battery previously same usage at around 9 hours i would have around 45-50% it would go on till 12-14 hours. lets see how it fares today. 2 1/2 hours of screen on time both times till now. todays usage includes 20 minutes gaming, 30 minutes whatsapping tranfering 80 9mp images via bluetooth 3g+ and 10 minutes of voice call.

somehow i get good battery life say more 3 hours when i put the phone back on charge when it goes down to around 90% and then charge back to 100 otherwise the battery gives me easily 10 hours.

i updated via mac bridge, i suppose the update would be out on pc companion first den mac bridge as most users are windows pc.
[Xperia Z General] amankapoor4:
I updated through mac, no issues.

just played real racing, unfortunately no noticeable lag found. Do quit applications like facebook and whatsapp and play the game and see.
[Xperia Z General] Ame123:
Re: Sony Xperia Z/Zl [Indian users] pre-order started

Nfs most wanted is not optimized thats why it lags so much..not a probkem of the device
[Xperia Z General] mysterio619:
Re: Sony Xperia Z/Zl [Indian users] pre-order started

True might be the reason for the lag

NFS MW lags here also, but no other game does.
[Xperia Z General] DeathlessOne:
Re: Sony Xperia Z/Zl [Indian users] pre-order started

Hoping my Z is alone powered by a 330mAh battery! :(

And by the way here too MW lags like hell, lag in the since it processes very slowly like stuttering of some sort!
[Xperia Z General] nickporwal:
wierd i am not getting any sort of lagging while playing MW. Have not played much though but its running smooth. Better than S3.
[Xperia Z General] nickandre21:
got 12 hours out of the battery usage included 45 minutes of running in a temple, 1 hour music, 1 hour whatsapp and facebook.

battery died at 12hrs 13 mins. One thing i found a major turn of. The charger is darn slow. at 4% i used the phone for 5 mins and the battery dropped to 1% sony shouldve given us a 2000ma charger for this beast.
[Xperia Z General] rohit25:
any idea about the dock releasing in india guys..... m getting really tensed about the charging port....
[Xperia Z General] nickandre21:
leave the charging port what about the headphone port? it gets scary when you have your headphones plugged in and you have to slip the phone in your pocket.

by the way the audio output from the xperia on headphones is good but it gives a colored sound, and you just dont enjoy music layered with different instruments at different levels and pan. For this department id say the i-devices are good with this. Maybe sony could work around the audio department in their next firmware update? just asking cause its a flag ship phone and i dont want to have to plug my headphones in my ipad to enjoy my music.

i would say my previous xperia arc s gave a good music enjoyment experience produced the effects well.

[Xperia Z General] nickandre21:
exactly my findings. I have used a samsung note 2 charger its rated at 2000ma it charged super fast provided i did not use the phone if i did it was super slow however the battery did not decrease.

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

Excellent battery backup here too........battery is getting much better day by day..... Bought this beast 4 days ago :)
[Xperia Z General] nickandre21:
yes the battery is good and will get better day by day, its good thing to condition the new battery by charging full and using the phone till the battery is depleted and then charging back a few times. From there on the battery will gradualy get better. It could also be the first few days of joy with the phone results in a lot of showing of and usage after which you go back to your daily routines.

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

Battery was good buddy, atleast better than above! When Vodafone gave me the free 3G pack and after I boarded to HSPA+, Z showed me what it's battery is capable of! Am charging twice a day, it lasts for just 6-7 hours perfect. Rooted my device, but just removed some bloatwares and using root explorer. Though even dint go beyond that! Calibrated today, lets see what does it give. Although it's useful only when ROM's are changed, I did it for the betterment of myself!

---------- Post added at 05:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:02 PM ----------

No please! Don't go for it! Looks damn cheap and flimsy! Ruins the beauty of your beast for sure!
[Xperia Z General] mathen:
I have a similar one with out stand! its very poor quality,spoils the make of xperia,i used it only for one day,try the hard case on ebay its better(not that good either),its really hard to buy good accessories in India:crying:
[Xperia Z General] nickandre21:
how did you verify the pack is enabled, vodafone sent me an sms welcoming me to the offer then 2 days later says pack cannot be enabled. Anyways ive been a 3g user since some time and 3g does drain your battery faster. i charge the phone every night only sometimes in the middle of the day when i wifi hotspot the 3g for my mac while travelling that time battery lasts me 4-5 hours.
[Xperia Z General] DeathlessOne:
Re: Sony Xperia Z/Zl [Indian users] pre-order started

I'll tell you in steps!

First, got the welcome message as you said

Second, after 5 mins, another message said that the data was deactivated (I was using 2G pack at that time and this got deactivated as expected)

Third, another message said that now unlimited data is available till (date)

Fourth, I tried connecting to 3G but I was unsuccessful, left the phone in 2G for about two hours and later tried connecting and voila, it got connected to HSPA+

Fifth, dialled *111# to check my data balance and it said unlimited data till Apr 26

---------- Post added at 06:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:59 PM ----------

Just now received my case from FedEx!

Now for the initial impressions:

The case looks good and sturdy

, ordered black!

Fits my Z perfectly

Pros: Perfect fit, sturdy, looks cool on my Z

Cons: doesn't cover top and bottom, and very frustrating is that it doesn't have openings for MicroSD and SIM. You should remove the case to open them out!

Other than those above, it's really worth for some odd 450 bucks! Ll post the images soon, though you see the case I received was different from the pic (The one I received can be seen in description of that page, you can see the seller has posted two different ones and he'll ship which model he has in stock. I prefered and hoped for the other one, but I received different one (2nd one in pic) but it's as expected.

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

What the heck??!! Vodafone is a total liar. I pre-ordered this on infibeam at 6th and received only on 18th. Then I shouldn't also be getting this offer. Call and yell at them, even though they cheated me at first by saying that they've already activated it as soon as I inserted my sim.

okay could any1 tell me what changes did you after upgrading to the latest version on xperia z..... m not sure about the same as i did see some posts in which real racing is said to be lagging and wont like that as i like playing the same.

have bought a mclaren mp14c, ford gt, and audi r8
[Xperia Z General] nickandre21:
i preordered mine on 10th and got it on 14th, i told them the same thing about other people having it and why would they advertise it way before? he just quotes sorry sir you cant avail it.

Sometimes i feel super annoyed with vodafone being a customer with them from so long and this is how they treat you. Im only worried about me not being in a pack and using the data on chargeable basis that would call for a huge bill.
[Xperia Z General] Ame123:
Re: Sony Xperia Z/Zl [Indian users] pre-order started
