Yeah, agreed with you.

I am a MIUI fans and what it done to HOX just simply wonderful, MIUI with HOX framework, meaning I have HOX camera in MIUI ROM. Hope to see same magic happens for XZ lol.

After much research of Xperia Z, I actually pre-order the casing from Taobao.com. And will get Xperia Z on the beginning of May. :D

I'm not sure have you guys encounter this before. I seen some of the Xperia Z in Telco shops with wash out screen, not vibrant at all. While some of the screens display really nice colours. :confused:
[Xperia Z General] joejoe23:
Have anyone not got lte at all? I've been using xz for almost a month now and i have never got lte once. I been to bishan, raffles place, places where starhub says lte is covered and still no lte.

[Xperia Z General] joejoe23:
It has been set to that since i first got it.
[Xperia Z General] apkapkapk:
I do! I've called Starhub with regards to some issues with LTE too. I had 2 suggestions:

- Some tech team guy called me back and told me to delete the Port and Proxy values in shwap (which is Gee! GPRS). It seems to kind of be better for me. Try it out!

- I thought there was some issue with the above method initially so I called them back and asked for the Port and Proxy values. I realize you can use the setup to get Internet settings but I just thought I'd ask them for it and it turned out to be slightly different.

Proxy: 10.12.1.0

Port: 8080

See if any of this works. If not, do give them a call!

hi,

anyone rooted your phone, remain lock bootloader and install custom rom ?

i did that, and used the ROM Aur 2.6 LB

but i find that my whatsapp and LINE is not working, i cant seem to send out any message or receive any message,

then i use the Sony update and update back to SONY rom and it is working fine,

can anyone advise what is wrong ?

there is this internet and MMS setting when i re start the phone when i update using SONY ROM

where can this package be found ?

i suspsect that if i use custom rom then install this, it might solve the problem.
[Xperia Z General] Rashkae:
Just Google for your apn settings. But this will not affect you if you have issues even via wifi.

---------- Post added at 10:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:52 AM ----------

THe normal MHL cable works , which is from samsung , honestly if you are spending 30 $ on a mhl , its worth spending 60 $ on a Netgear ptv3000 as it saves the hassle as its compatible with all devices and its wireless , moreover you dont have to open the flap to connect and u can mirror the display from your sofa :) Amazon ships this to singapore , I got one myself last month
[Xperia Z General] xperiax10.awesome:
Hi, does this Netgear PTV3000 works woth Xperia Tablet Z as well??

Its not in the compatible devices list !!!
[Xperia Z General] anirudhks:
Yes its compatible its very much in the 2.2.15 firmware compatblity list , I use it to play NFS and its awsome ;) only downsiide is when you mirror the wifi disconnects from home network so you cant stream youtube to tv , all though my note 2 can still do it ... hopefully it wil be fixed in the next update , SONY Dev team has been updated on this and they said they are looking at it..h
[Xperia Z General] wmayeo:
About 2 weeks has passed. Most of the time I'm on 3G/H data via Singtel. I tried LTE and never switch on since the battery depletes very quickly and the phone becomes warm fast.

Most of the time my usage is on chats(Whatsapp & LINE, social media(Fb, Instagram) and browsing, considered light usage. I used apps like Greenify to hibernate my apps, Snapdragon Battery Guru & turn on Stamina mode. Not sure has the battery been conditioned, battery life seems like a constant battle. :laugh:

Overall performance has been great. No lag or strange glitches. Xperia UI is great. Simple! If you support Sony eco-system, it's a plus to add control with your other Sony devices.

I just don't like seeing ads in Android apps. It is a Google problem.

Voice call is loud enough, about 60~65% volume without Clear Phase.

Screen is very good! If you're into photography, Sony cam is decent. Not perfect due to shutter lag/slow load of cam app. Focusing is very good. It can deliver good details. Very good mobile option compared in the market.

Build quality no creaks!! I leave a clear screen protector on the anti-shatter film. Although it attracts finger prints but easier to clean off. Truly monolithic from Sony design.

I'm not complaining here, they are just my opinions. :)

If someone could offer their opinions about improving battery life, please share with us here.
[Xperia Z General] tlkh:
I think generally I'm rather satisfied with the Xperia Z after about two weeks.

I removed the anti shatter film with the Sony logo for aesthetic purposes and got a screen protector at AMK to protect the screen. Case wise I bought a brandless $10 case from Kovan (outside heartland mall). Now my phone has no visible logos, and it's just the way I like it.

Loaded official CM10.1 RC2. Working (mostly) fine. RealRacing 3 is somewhat laggy, get a bit of weird issues with Apollo and SOD with YouTube randomly -.- but otherwise perfectly fine as a daily driver. Camera works fine.

The screen performs nicely in the sun. The viewing angles however... Horrendous. The main complain I have about this phone.

Otherwise, great phone. Battery life is acceptable, gets me through the day. I use Greenify.

I asked a guy in Sony Square [MENTION=376729]JEM[/MENTION], Jurong East. He said warranty covers water damage. My friends in Vietnam also say the same, Sony store changed him a new phone when they found the phone had water leak not by his fault (all phone ports closed properly - they check the small pieces of paper hiden under port cover if they change to red color). Im really confused about this. Anyone please confirm?
[Xperia Z General] tlkh:
I was under the impression the only way they can formally deduce water damage were the pieces of paper hidden under the port covers lol.
[Xperia Z General] Telomeresis:
Yes. If all the water indicators are white, and there are no obvious issues with phone (e.g. cracked screen caused by drops/knocks), then the phone should be covered under warranty for water damage.

Well frankly.. yes the display is more washed-out compared to other devices, but it's nowhere near unusable.

And certainly doesn't deserve all that trashing from what I've been reading about.

Also, yes, the viewing angle does make it more washed-out and I do feel it as I place my phone a little away from me on the desk and look at it while sitting back at an angle. Still.. no biggie here.

Purely personal views here.
