Sorry, like I said I didn't mean in terms of processor, etc. Unless you mean there differences between CPU architectures that make it hard to support CM10.1?

Darn. :)

Like he said... If someone can donate a one v to cm it'll be nice lol:p

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] chrisrotolo:

[Xperia Z General] massamino:
Got my XZ today :)

Sad part for the Belgian people so far ... No dock, no SD

Good part of the pre-order is that I got the MDR-1R headphones
[Xperia Z General] Rashkae:
That's a lot better than the dock and sd card...

Sent from my gorgeous White Xperia Z
[Xperia Z General] bazzanaja:
Is the model C6603 ,LT36h the international version or the Japanese version?
[Xperia Z General] massamino:
I can see the C6603, but where do I find the LT36h part? Or is this that the Japanese version?
[Xperia Z General] Kinoal:
I'm from belgium and I order it at Vandenborre last week and I'll receive the dock and the speaker bluetooth. Where did you find the xperia in belgium cause it's coming only on the 10th march? I'm still waiting and sombody can answer.
[Xperia Z General] Stephen1985:
I think he ordered his phone from coolblue.be, they have the phone already in stock.

But you never get any extras in their shop.

I ordered mine also with Vandenborre, the release date 10/03 is (I hope) for the people who ordered their phone after a certain date.

When I ordered mine the release date was the 4th of march, and I still hope I get it on Monday.
[Xperia Z General] Kinoal:
Ho Ok! I also hope for monday I'm the 25th person on the list... but the bonus are really good so I'll wait :)
[Xperia Z General] Ambroos:
Iiiiiii, you're wrooooooooooong! You ordered from Coolblue, which is a Dutch store and delivers the Dutch kits.

All true Belgian retailers (The Phone House BE, Belcompany BE, Proximus, Mobistar, BASE, Telenet, Vanden Borre, Selexion, ...) will all be offering a kit with the dock (handset colour) included. Belgian kits arrive in about two weeks.

(The MDR-1R does sound good but is a bit too aggressive on the high end compared to what I'm used to.)
[Xperia Z General] Kinoal:
How do you know that the belgian Kit is only in 2 weeks?

---------- Post added at 04:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:29 PM ----------

And the kit for Vandenboore is not the HeadSet is the Dock and the Bluetooth Speaker
[Xperia Z General] Ambroos:
I have had an Xperia Z for three weeks, I know things :) It'll be either late next week (doubtful) or early the week after that.

In The Netherlands all pre-orders got the headphones (which are pretty good) as a bonus but the phone itself doesn't come with the dock. The first 500 orders in The Netherlands through the official Sony site and with the right coupon code got the BT speaker instead of the headphones.

In Belgium everyone gets the dock in the box (pre-order or not) and some pre-orders at Vanden Borre get the speaker for free.
[Xperia Z General] massamino:
Ok, it looks like that's my price to pay wanting to have it so quickly. I indeed ordered from coolblue. Will have to order the dock separately then. I'll survive :)
[Xperia Z General] Ambroos:
I'm dockless too, hope they hit the market here soon!
[Xperia Z General] niaboc79:
Can't wait to find one :P

Envoyé depuis mon LT26i avec Tapatalk
[Xperia Z General] Kinoal:
Ok ...

Yeah can't wait 2 weeks grrrrrr
[Xperia Z General] broke23:
same here, it's set for 10th of march according to Sony Mobile Belgium (facebook), might be sooner though, but I don't have my hopes up pffff

seeing all these people play with their Z, meh :(
[Xperia Z General] massamino:
Yeah, me to. I'll buy 2 of them. one for work and one for private :)
[Xperia Z General] Stephen1985:
Did you guys also got a mail from Vandenborre stating that the release date is somewhere between 2 and 3 weeks from now?

I
[Xperia Z General] niaboc79:
3 weeks, they took "by truck" shipping from China or what???

Envoyé depuis mon LT26i avec Tapatalk
[Xperia Z General] Stephen1985:
Got a call this afternoon from Vandenborre, they say that 2 to 3 week release date is a guide date, could be later.

O joy.

It's not coming by truck but by bike, I think
[Xperia Z General] broke23:
I have cancelled my pre-oder for 484 euro (yeah u read it correct ..., ordered at work) and ordered one at gsmwijzer.be for 623 ...

should be here by tomorrow ...

too busy weeks coming up, so wanted it to be here to play with this weekend, what's a 150 euro in life ... :cowboy: (no I don't make loads of money, but what's money ...)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pathtologos:
Hey all. I'm happy to say that I'm coming back to the gs3. Development seems to have exploded since I was last here (which is awesome). I just have a couple of questions I'm hoping someone can help me with. First off I see some 4.2.2 roms (like cm10.1). When I was on the note 2 flashing one of those roms would do some crazy sh*t to my sd card (basically create a new directory called "0" and move stuff there). Undoing it was kind of a mess when going back to an older rom. Does the same thing happen on the gs3?

Secondly, I quickly looked over some of the newest roms available under the original dev thread and most of them, under "what's not working," simply say "you tell me." Now, from previous experience this usually means there are next to no bugs. Is this true? If not, what are the most commonly seen bugs now on the "built from source" roms like cm10.1, slim bean, PAC man, and aokp? Also miui (these are my favs).

Thanks in advance guys!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dante32278:
It depends...there are a lot of ports in the thread so i don't know how they would effect your library. Each ROM has their own up/downfall depending on what you want from your phone, but that's up to you.

As far as your second question, again it is hit and miss. The devs usually post something they run on their own phone and ask for ideas from the community on what they would like added, if possible. Do a nand and flash around until you find a good candidate for your needs.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pathtologos:
Thanks for the response. While I am aware that every rom is different and that flashing them is the best way to get my questions answered, the issue of 10.2 roms creating a new directory on the sd card was a well known issue on the note 2 forums. And it only applied to 10.2 roms. Again does anyone know if the same thing happens on the gs3?

Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CrfEpic4g:
Yes they do add the sdcard0.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GiantJay:
Yes it is caused from multi user support.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jazz995756:
as mentioned above there are some roms that create a "0" folder but for me ive only had this happen to me when flashing jelly bam i never got that when i flashed cm10.1 and as far as the bugs thing you mentioned that really depends on your device and what you use it for, me and my girlfriend have had cm10.1 for a while but my phone never has issues but hers has issues sometimes it all really depends on your phone if it plays nice with the rom or if its going to reject it. For the most part there shouldnt be any issues and if there is maybe its the use your putting into the device is something it cant handle that well my phone cant handle multiview that well because it really heats up and other people it works fine so just depends. hope this helps
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] topherk:
It's something that TWRP has tried to mitigate within their recovery, but they still recommend not flip-flopping back and forth.

Please see this TWRP FAQ for more information.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TheSocalGuy79:
Can I ask why you switched back to the S3 from the note 2?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mycall0:
Welcome back! The S3 is a wonderful phone, good enough for the full 2 year contract IMHO.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pathtologos:
Note 2 is GREAT but the size did get to me after a while. Didn't bother me at first but over time I noticed it more and more.
[Xperia Z General] Sunnychad:
Hi Guys,

Hopefully there will be a good few of us lucky enough to get our hands on one of these before the weekend and I would be interested to read a bit about your experience.

What I would like to know is the

Network and how it performs, CALL QUALITY and data

Speaker and Screen comments

UI and Software,

Improvements we should consider

I look forward to hearing from you and thanks for your feedback.

Cheers
[Xperia Z General] marcoplo:
i will have one from sony center by 4 wil posted some info sooner or later
[Xperia Z General] mudstuff:
Got mine this morning, will add some thoughts later...
[Xperia Z General] badboybiky:
got mine from three and the screen looks beautiful so good better then what was in my head!!!!!!!!!!!!1
[Xperia Z General] BlitzyMannna:
I got mine from three aswell.

The actual model is way better than the display model.

The display model was a bit laggy, but the actual device is buttery smooth.

And the screen is really great:good:

The only con is battery life, but that was expected.
[Xperia Z General] bayhota:
love the device, and have fully drained the battery, now recharging, lets seen what a full battery does with power management. But need some advice as to what to do with it.
[Xperia Z General] mudstuff:
Really enjoying it! I've changed from an S2 so obviously a big leap. Really quick and smooth, no lag at all. Not as big as I feared, very manageable and pocketable. The screen is drop dead gorgeous, all the stupid talk on here the last couple of weeks about the screen had me concerned but it's fantastic! Black levels are decent and I've turned the bravia engine off. Volume seems fine to me, perfectly audible via the earpiece or speaker. Volume when playing audio and video is good too. Battery life is too early to tell but it arrived at 66% and went down about 10% after an hour of heavy use. I've now plugged it in and it's nearly full despite simultaneously using wifi and downloading all my apps via appbrain.

Not really got much to say, just really pleased with it. Super premium loom and feel, great screen and very fast and slick.
[Xperia Z General] Team hammer:
xperia z

im in the uk and got my xperia z the day but the screen has little glittery spots on it wen the sun hits it, is this normal or is mine faulty, i even took the screen protector of thinking thats wat causing it.
[Xperia Z General] Timaustin2000:
Aaaalrighty -

First; the Good.

The screen is ten times as good as you probably think it is. It's well-balanced, as sharp as a page of Oscar Wilde Witticisms rolled into a point and sprinkled with lemon juice. It makes watching videos a real joy.

The audio through the headset is fantastic,... through my free MDR-1r cans it's simply mind-blowing. Very, very good.

It feels awesome in the hand and really looks the part.

It's blindingly fast - not even a hint of slowdown.

Reviews have been lying to you: this comes with the Sony internet browser installed as standard. This is much better than Chrome and always has been!

The Loud speaker is LOUD.

The Bad:

I'm very, very sorry to report that the reviews saying the camera being utter ****e seem, on initial inspection, to be true. The level of post-processing used to make the thing usable obliterates fine detail entirely. It also injects a whole host of artifacts and fringing. Compared to the cam on my Xperia S, the camera on the XZ is virtually unusable. Seriously: it's that bad.

The only up point on the camera is that it seems virtually noise free but I'd trade that in to get detail back.

It's such a shame.
[Xperia Z General] GuestK00431:
Pretty good for me so far.. Can't complain but I'm sure I will at the battery at a latter date. Only just got it though.
[Xperia Z General] BlitzyMannna:
The phone camera comes out the box set on 9mp by default. at first i couldnt beleive the quality of the camera was so poor.

But after randomly looking at camera settings i spotted the problem and changed it to 12mp and photos seem to be much better now:D
[Xperia Z General] ronak47:
My Xperia Z doesn't have a stock sony browser... Only Chrome... Am I missing something?
[Xperia Z General] wonneil:
Not had a chance to play with it yet as I collected from the Three store at lunchtime, but the first thing I did do was download the Speedtest.net app to test out Three's network, 13meg download! :good:
[Xperia Z General] Paddiii:
100% agree :(
[Xperia Z General] bayhota:
Jesus this device takes time to charge, Been charging since 2 after full discharge and only at 75%
[Xperia Z General] GuestK00431:
Was pretty quick for :/
[Xperia Z General] adizntk:
Odp: Xperia Z UK User Experience

My camera seems to be ok I like the quality and I have stock JB web browser too :) but one thing is that when I first boot up the device it was on 54% baterry I have restart it after 15 min and it went to 25%? Is that normal? Never had that before with any Xperia device
[Xperia Z General] markiepuk:
Agreed- mine only has Chrome :(

I did get it a coupe of weeks ago so maybe its because its was pre-release non-retail version?

Its running on 1269-5309_10.1.a.1.350 Generic User GLOBAL-LTE

Is this the release f/w?

Thanks

Mark
[Xperia Z General] Sunnychad:
Would be interested to know which networks you are on and where you got your phones. From the operator or via CPW, Phones 4U or the like. that way we can assess if the browser choice is netowrk dependent or on the sim free handsets coming out of the re-sellers.

I read in another thread re some getting the bluetooth version of the swanky headsets. Any comment on this would be most welcome also.
[Xperia Z General] BlitzyMannna:
I got my XZ from three. It comes with the Sony browser
[Xperia Z General] RCJ89:
I played with a retail model this afternoon got to take it outside to take some outdoor pics and videos.

Pics are good, video I was less than impressed they were not as sharp as pics and colours were off.

For example I took a pic of a bus at the bus stop the camera replicated with good colour accuracy whilst video made the bus a darker reddish/purple and there was loss of detail and man the slow auto focusing at times that has plagued all previous sony devices was raising it's ugly head again.

Loud speaker is hopeless in evena slightly noisy environment, audio is loud outdoors but bass could have been better.

Also the Z seriously feels a bit boxy imo.
[Xperia Z General] WhiteHartMart:
My P4U one came with Chrome - I'm guessing it's a non network locked model but can test later.

Maybe the network locked ones come with the Sony browser?
[Xperia Z General] omersak:
The three network xperias have the stock browser as well as black on screen buttons and status bar
[Xperia Z General] adizntk:
Nope on screen buttons and status bar are gray on my xperia and I just got it from three as well.
[Xperia Z General] dibdin:
What about the stock browser?
[Xperia Z General] adizntk:
I have stock browser too :)
[Xperia Z General] Timaustin2000:
This is odd, certainly. I wonder why the stock, Sony-adapted, ICS browser is only turning up on certain devices - mine definitely has it, and very happy I am to see it! As much as I like Chrome, it's not a patch on the ICS browser.

ALSO

I am revising up my assessment of the camera, having gone out a-snapping with it earlier on. It isn't 100% useless. Indeed, if you work with it, you can get some pretty decent shots from it. The loss of fine detail is annoying but, to be fair, it is only really noticable when you zoom in quite a long way.

It is also better than the Xperia S for low-light photography, where the situation is reversed: it actually picks up more detail than the S in low light - that's the fancy new sensor showing that the £millions and 2 years of development weren't a complete waste of time.

But in good light, the post-processing that Sony employ to keep the noise low just put a sledgehammer to the knackers of fine detail. It's frustrating, it really is - what's the point of creating a 13mp camera just to eradicate all of that extra detail in post? I just don't understand why they didn't just put an 8mp RS sensor into the thing in the first place and save themselves the bother.

BUT it isn't atrocious, it's just underwhelming.
[Xperia Z General] :
It has arrived. Although I must wait until the 4th to open the box. (4th is my birthday)
[Xperia Z General] omersak:
Ah, I see. Strange because the one here has black ones: http://youtu.be/HvcJJj-VdVw

Wonder what's the catch
[Xperia Z General] huntleth:
Well I'm chuffed to bits with the XZ :) I've kept completely quiet on here until I got it, I've not spent long with it yet but here's my first impressions.

- Yep, it's waterproof :p

- The screen is fantastic, super bright. I've come from an S2 and it takes some getting used to but it's a great screen.

-Viewing angles aren't amazing but perfectly good for someone to sit next to you and watch a YouTube clip or play a game.

- I actually don't like the UI which I'm surprised about, that may just be because of the bloatware cluttering up my app drawer :p

-Wi-Fi is dropping out a lot, I've restarted the phone but it's still happening, maybe an update will fix that.

- It looks and feels fantastic and the best bit - fingerprints made my S2 look awful (I have greasy fingers) but they're nowhere near as bad on the XZ, not sure why everyone said it was a fingerprint magnet.

-Loudspeaker is loud but not brilliant quality, a shame but I rarely use it.

-Camera seems good, didn't try it on default settings though just bumped it straight up to 12mp

Just my two cents after a short while using it.
[Xperia Z General] spurs1959:
Have you applied the included screen cover or are you fingerprint free by only having the anti-shatter film on the glass?
[Xperia Z General] adizntk:
Odp: Xperia Z UK User Experience

Well my definitely dark gray :P
[Xperia Z General] huntleth:
No screen protector applied!
[Xperia Z General] chri55tof:
Ok guys now my impressions :

Got the phone at 9.00 AM fro CPW Hedge End Southampton, o2 contract, unl mns and txt, 1GB and 99 upfront, 26 per month. Just went in straight from the street, no preorder etc...

To answer your possible Q : bar and buttons are dark grey (not black) and it came with Chrome browser.

Applied the screen protectors supplied in the box, the alligment is really good (only NFC mark on the back creates an air bubble).

First impressions :

Amazing, sharp screen

Ultra fast, no lags at all (drawer, UI, bar etc)

Bit heavy (but feels in hand so much better than my previous S3)

Lots bloatware in drawer, like antivirus or gps software

External speaker a bit low quality

First 20 minutes play, WiFi dropped 3-4 times at work ... (at home keeps signal ok)

Baterry drains very fast and takes long to charge (this should get better in time)

Windows 7 recognised usb connection very fast

Box was very sleek, but there were no factory seels, maybe this is a default ?

A bit hard to get use to opening every port to start interaction ... like usb for example or headphones jack

Headphones in box very stylish, good quality of sound too

Now the phone is on charging and I am looking for a pouch and docking station as this usb connection flap is not something I would possibly get use to.

More impressions soon.

Kris

Update:

Left fully charged over night with Stamina Mode ON (no apps added at all - def settings). 96% left after 8 hours which gives 1% drop per 2 hours. I am impressed.
[Xperia Z General] mudstuff:
CPW on O2 running chrome, no stock Sony browser. Really enjoying the phone, looking forward to putting nova on and customising more now that I have most apps and settings to my liking.
[Xperia Z General] Gitaroo:
hows browsing on the phone? does the full hd res let you fill any website perfectly?
[Xperia Z General] Sunnychad:
Mine will arrive at home some time today and I will have a good play once I'm back form work, expect a bit of a mini review from me this evening.

I have gone with Vodafone and will give my views on the usual bits such as camera, screen, speakers, in call quality, music quality, build quality, browser and general speed of UI etc. Naturally battery comment will have to wait a few days.

This is my first Android handset so I have high expectations and considering I left Sony Ericsson in 2007 this is a most anticipated return to Sony.

Any other questions you want answered, please let me know.

Cheers all
[Xperia Z General] stefanve:
All websites fit perfectly, but if it is readable really depends on the website and your eye sight :). I don't have great eye sight and in need of an new prescription for my glasses. For instance an site like ign.com (desktop version) the home page is readable without zooming in but not comfortably so because some tiny elements are not really readable unless I plant my face almost in the phone, since it is possible to read tiny fonts at all really speaks for the high resolutions of the screen. xdaforums.com is perfectly readable without zooming in.
[Xperia Z General] :
I'm liking it so far but do have a few niggles.

1. Battery drains pretty fast in use which could be bettered in future updates.

2. Bravia Engine should always work thoughout the UI and not just the gallery. (looks beautiful when its on)

3. Camera takes like 3 or more seconds to open up.... (but again software fix for this will come)

4. Sound is pretty crap from the speaker

Good points

1. Well built, matches or betters my iPhone 5

2. Stamina Mode works well.

3. Water Proofing works wonders, no problems after the few tests I did.

4. Its the perfect size for a mobile phone. 5' is spot on!

5. Mine came with Chrome and the old stock broswer which was a plus.

6. Camera is good in night shots.

7. Superior Auto Mode is genius, works perfect 99.9% of the time.

8. Sound from headphones is the best I've heard from any smartphone.

I'm hoping 4.2.2 comes out soon as I'm sure it will be the icing on the cake to fix the niggles and make this phone a beast (it already is but a fined tuned beast) ;)
[Xperia Z General] Biffy:
My battery ran out after around 20hrs mixed set up / playing use, with around 4hrs screen time.

I've moved up from a Note1 and much prefer the ui of the Xz. However screen-wise, I don't see that much of a sharpness improvement from the Note1. Also, because of the on screen buttons, screen estate actually feels smaller, despite the increase in resolution, which I'm disappointed about.

Really, if the 720p displays sucked less battery, I would have preferred the Xz to have one.

Am also desperate to get a dock (waiting for cheap generic one to appear on ebay), so that I can charge without faffing for covers, as this phone is going to need it.

Have not tested waterproofness, I think it's crazy doing that. I am just going to use that as a backup feature for when it's absolutely needed.
[Xperia Z General] bayhota:
how is everyone setting up stamia mode? drained my battery yesterday, took for ages to charge and this morning down to 80% after a few calls, texts messages, no internet, and 10 minute playing music?
[Xperia Z General] stefanve:
check what is eating the battery settings -> power management -> battery usage

I'm down to 75% in 3.5 hours 70 minutes screen on time, 80MB downloads, chatting and web browsing (stamina is still off)
[Xperia Z General] DeadlyDazza:
Got mine yesterday.

All I can say is that I'm surprised it didn't come with a hole in the middle because it's MINT!
