Went with a mate of mine to buy the XZ today in Phones 4 u bond street and everything was going smoothly until the video camera (which I did warn him about before hand but he didn't believe me)

Normal camera is fine but the video camera has some issues which sony needs to fix.

Videos lack detail/sharpness compared to camera images look smudgy, colours are off compared to normal camera for example where reds are red on camera they are pinkish or dark redish/purple on video camera. Also focusing is a issue (not using superior auto mode) when you select touch focus or face detection the phone decides it knows best and uses tracking instead so when you try to use touch focus or face detection it doesnt allow you to do so and I have experienced this on alot of XZ in many different stores. All in all my friend wasn't happy to hand over £490 and is now waiting for either One or S4.
[Xperia Z General] maverick1103:
Can't say that I've had those problems with mine, the camera and video quality on mine is really life like and the best I've used on any phone, and I've used quite a few! I've not had any issues with face tracking, it's much more superior than my HTC One X and Note 2 were!

No doubt the S4 or HTC One will be perfect so it looks like you, sorry I mean your friend will be happy! :)

I am waiting till I see reviews on the one and s4 only then will I decide which of these 3 phones to upgrade to.
[Xperia Z General] andrew_wang916:
I was so wanting to get this, but due to many issue raises and delay release which day fall on 15th May, 1 day after S4 gonna annouced. It actually hold be back.

But I might still get this XZ since even after S4 annouced it will only arrive on late May or June and I have holiday on May which I need a phones for all media and pics taking. >< (I dont have any D cam) So pray I don't get a defect and the performance is as good as except. ><

probably you've never seen a xperia z ;)

i saw it in a shop... very good a part of viewing angles...

you know i'm a graphic designer, i work on calibrated dell ultrasharp monitor.. probably you are just one of those kid thinking samsung screen are reality... but those are the worse screen my eye has ever seen...
[Xperia Z General] Thaevil0ne:
I see people mention the review by PhoneArena, I loled.

The top rated comments on this review are:

""The pictures are just not good enough." My goodness, this guy is never satisfied with anything. I wonder what camera pleases him? If the camera is what you want, why not buy a DSLR camera, you can﻿ get one cheaper than the price of this phone. :| "

"He said 2003﻿"

Iam not sure how serious one should take a review of a person that thinks we live in 2003.

Did he even watch his review himself before posting it?

Also the comment about the video camera makes me think: he never posted a video of one he was pleased with.

Got my Z aprox a week ago and I must say I like it a LOT.

However, I come from the Xperia Play and compared to that it is a huge improvement.

As far as people complain about the viewing angles, I do not understand this problem.

- Why do you view your phone from weird angles?

- Should the person next to you be able to read the message you are typing crystal clear?

I can not even way the viewing angles are that bad at all, but that is just me.

If you doubt the quallity of the phone after all reviews you did read, the best thing is to go to your local phone shop and check it out for yourself.

All that being said, it does not mather what device you use as long as you are pleased with it.

If I did not have the luxury of upgrading to the Xperia Z I would still enjoy the Play now.

Your own opinion is what counts really...

Kind regards, Stefan.
[Xperia Z General] searley:
Had mine about a week now, a few minor bugs but I've had these on all phones I've bought at time of release.

It always takes an update or 2 before things are right

I've had a lot of phones over the last couple of years the best being

IPhone 4s

Iphone 5

Htc one x

Galaxy s3

Galaxy note

Galaxy note 2

Had a few others, but I have to say so far I think the Z is the best

No major show stopping bugs :–)
[Xperia Z General] itsmemuffins:
Probably never seen?

Unlike you I had it at home under normal lighting conditions, not the shops bright fluorescent light ;)

I have an iPhone 5 and an iPad 3. Two of the best most accurate LCD screens you will ever see. I own a plasma TV ;)

I only ever owned one ambled screen phone and it was the Lumia 800, which I got rid of after a week because the screen was horrid.

The only other LCD screen I have seen that is as pedestrian as the Z was on the htc Titan.

And as far as being a kid, I'm probably older than your mother, so why don't you go back to being a mediocre graphics designer...;)

It's nice that the phone comes with the charging base here in Norway.

Just hoping for a car holder from Sony real soon.

I dont have to say anything, just google it...
[Xperia Z General] buBleZ:
Ok, So I visited sony center today as the stocks and demo unit were available. I played with the demo unit for quite sometime and here are my impressions.

Good:

1. The phone is beautiful to look at from all sides.

2. Gives a premium feel on hand and so light in weight

3. Absolutely smooth navigation and interface.

Bad:

1. The screen looked good initially at first look but then I noticed the brightness was set to full. I set it to adaptive brightness mode and the screen looked really washed out. Another person who was demoing the unit said his sony xperia s has a better looking display than this. So the screen is meeting my expectations only at full brightness which is not practical. Mind you this is indoors then you can imagine how worse it will be outdoors . From side angles yes there was considerable color and brightness shift but not a major issue

2. Next the speakers. The showroom was not silent at the same time it was not very loud. I played some trailers and songs that were present on the phone. When I hold them at a watchable level I cannot hear the audio clearly and loud enough. Big letdown. I am sure in a busy place I won't be able to hear incoming calls.

Before anybody thinks I am a harsh critic I pre-ordered this phone several days back and I am now thinking what to do with the money that is stuck in the sony center.
[Xperia Z General] predatOr:
The speaker sound output has gotta do nothing with incoming sound call... The sound in all Xperia phone is adequate not very loud...

But for incoming calls there is a different earphone speaker... Along with Active Background Noise Cancellation (your voice will be clear even in loud atmosphere)... The in call sound output in all Xperia is very loud and clear...

And loudspeaker output is not compared with in-call speaker output :)

PREDATOR95 ->->->->a.k.a. ->-> predatOr
[Xperia Z General] buBleZ:
What I meant was ringtones played through speakers for incoming calls.
[Xperia Z General] predatOr:
That clarifies a lot... Yup the sound output is low... :(

I use CM10 rc5 and my problem is I have like 30-40mb free ram all the time.

I only run weather and email widgets, no antivirus, no ram optimizer. I also have trouble playing games like Temple Run, it keeps lagging.

Is there anything I can do about it?

Any program to log memory consumption of background apps also?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Madzix:
There are many ways actualy.

Depends on what you need.

You can instal those bigmem kernels, like yoons or what was it called, it has 395mb ram, and the camera can still take pics.

Or u can instale the 423mb version, which hasnt got the camera working, but still, 423mb free.

And tick in the developer settings, then limit to 1 background process.

THat should make more RAM, or u can even tick the close the programm after u end using it.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hatedman95:
Hello XDA,i bought my Samsung Galaxy S2,two months back,around end of november.Since then,i had a 1650 mAh battery and the XXLSJ JB leak.I thought it was normal to do that for a leaked firmware,so i switched to 4.0.4 (stock firmware,from england aka XEU).That didn't solve the problem either.I struggled for about 2 months,installing custom ROM's,Kernel's,verifying wakelocks on BBS,rooting,SetCPU,everything that i found out on google.My friends said it was the battery's fault.3 Days ago,i bought the 2000 mAh battery kit (wich comes with the 2000 mAh battery,and the expanded case).I've upgraded to 4.1.2 since it was released 7 days ago for Nordic Countries (NEE) and it still didn't fix it.A week ago,i've tried a market app called "Battery Calibration".It somewhat worked.Now,i'm on the 3rd reformat of the battery and it's still draining as before.What is happenning?May it be a hardware problem?It also gets hot on top,near the camera...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] f-r:
Maybe you have too many services running, maybe the reception in your area is poor, maybe you have wifi-bluetooth-gps constantly running, maybe your brighness is set the max and you play all day, maybe it's a hardware fault....

Post your battery screenshots will help alot. Post both screens plus display running time. BBS info will also help.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hatedman95:
First of all.Everything i do,it's draining battery,wi-fi is always on when i'm at home.I chat very often when i'm at home on WhatsApp.Bluetooth and GPS is always off.Brightness is always set on Automatic and i don't play that often.I categorize my phone at about medium usage.

About BBS screenshots and Battery ones,look.

Right now,i'm using NeatROM Lite 4.3 with PhilZ Kernel.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] f-r:
I've heard this happening to phones after water damage :(

If both stock and extended batteries don't do it, plus the warm spot near the camera - I suspect it to be hardware fault.

Edit: try to sell it for parts (or...) and get another phone. This probably will require to chang the main PCB.

Well, I have been thinking of buying a new battery (either the stock 1650mAh or the 2000mAh) but when I was running the stock samsung 4.0.4 firmware the most battery draining process was ''google services'' or something like that so I thought there was a problem with the software and so I didn't buy a new battery. I checked was anyone else having the same problem and it seemed to be a common bug. Some people where experiencing it on 2.3 and some on 4.0 but i didn't found an answer. When I heard that the 4.1 update was out I wished that it would fix the battery draining and kinda it did because no more the ''google services'' was draining all the battery but now it's the screen (which I know it should be) but even know that the software seems to be all good, battery still drains just as fast so just buying a new battery might fix my problem... and it hopefully does.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
Battery life comes with good settings.

I got lucky there, 5.4 hours is a good number. Today I'm at 33% looking at 3.5 hours screen time. If I keep my screen on from now on i'll get to 4.4 hrs for sure. Now...good screen time right? Well...I AM gonna have to CHARGE it TODAY!

The thing is to catch the drainer "in the act" with betterbatterystats and once you've done that, you're off the hook.

This is the "where's the charger era", we all need to embrace that, so when we suddenly get 2 days outta 'em we can brag & giggle.

The day will come...where we will be able to charge our devices in 15 minutes and battery will last a week.....

tip - backup imp data like contacts, messages and everything from your internal memory.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chwoiy:
heavy usage

as i see it, you are a heavy user.

also the 4.1.2 official roms have a media scanner issue. you can search xda for the fix, but it willl just shorten the wakeup time.

best to avoid heat from the battery/phone. if it's heating up, it's probably working hard.

also check your network signal, sometimes when the signal is weak, the phone does extra work to search for a signal.

follow the previous post.. try to install a new fresh rom. make sure to wipe everything.

turn off all animations for 4.1.2

check your widgets so that they won't refresh. set it to manual refresh.

good luck!

My wife just got a VZW Tab 2 7.0 and I am thinking about rooting it and unlocking the bootloader as described here using method 3 and here.

I'm wondering if anyone that has used this has seen the flash counter get tripped and if you have the triangle? I thought about Chainfire's triangle away app but it doesn't specifically list the SCH-I705 so I'm not sure if it'll work.

If this were my device I'd go for it and see what happens, but it isn't and I don't want her unhappy with it. She has a rooted Thunderbolt, but it is flawless, so she has high expectations. If you have used these methods I would really appreciate your input.

Hi,

I am using a samsung galaxy s2 I9100 phone and recently updated to Jelly Bean 4.1.2 XXLS8. My problem is that when I turn my screen off or it turns off automatically, the wifi network is off. Wifi duing sleep is turned to always on in settings but doesnt seem like working. If im chatting and until someone replies the screen turns off, I wnt receive any notifications until I turn it on to check manually. Same applies for email. When i turn the screen on, it will show wifi now connected. This was not a problem on ICS as even though the screen was off, I would receive notifications and email as it is sent.

So can u please suggest a solution and also I dont want to go back to ICS
