As with all other Sony's up till now, relocking will eventually be possible. Just needs a dev to invest some time and take care of it. Anyway, locked or unlocked, the hardware warranty remains, meaning if your device breaks because it's badly built, Sony will take care of it. If your CPU burns because you ran custom code and overclocked to 2.5GHz or so, the warranty won't be honoured.

I can answer the exact same things, though I don't use Stamina so "2" does not apply to me. Yet "5" still holds true even without Stamina, as I do the same as you, lowering brightness

That's 0 to 100 in roughly one and a half hour. That's fast for a 2300mAh battery and in line with probably all other devices I had except for some which took considerably longer to charge.

See another users answer inbetween your and my post: heat comes from power. An overclocked Galaxy S2 will get hot as well, which I can confirm for a non-overclocked Galaxy Note. Under heavy load it did get hot as well, it did take a longer period though to get as warm as the Z gets. But that's due to the much more powerful circuits in the Z. As said: where there is power, there is heat.

Clearning data on launcher? Factory reset seems a little excessive :rolleyes:

Definately not normal, you should easy last a day. I actually think it might be your sd card that is draining battery badly (like it keeps rescanning stuff etc.), try a day without it!

For me bugs i had:

battery percentage disappearing

wifi reception is not very good

Not bug but annoying:

not being able to add toggles (i now use 3rd party program, should be integrated)

still only 4 icon grid on such a huge screen (i know can be fixed other launcher, but than i miss sony widgets)

widget mp3 player in notification center, no button to go to previous song. When pause widget disappear

Re: List of all problems for Xperia Z

I have experienced the "sleep of death". Just the one time when I got it out in front of everyone xD

Just a black screen but the back light came on. Just had to press power twice to make it work. J

My wifi strength is also low. I've turned up router strength and still it fails in places where x10 had signal

Is it just me or does camera take a while to open ?

Re: List of all problems for Xperia Z

I've had the sleep of death after 1 day it wouldn't turn on no matter what I did. Finally pressed and held all buttons until it vibrated.

Mine also gets hot and I just browse. ES task manager tells me there are over 45 processes running. And killing them only gets me to about 15 running but they invariably turn back on. My lg only had at the most 15 processes running and killing them can get me to 4 .
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] C1emen7s:
Wifi strength has gotten really poor. Had no issues with it when I first got the phone but now it's constantly disconnecting and reconnecting and when it does connect, signal strength is extremely weak despite being about 2 metres from my router and the signal strength on my mac having no problem/.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teknohtc:
Thanks! Yea the speaker went back to normal after 30 mins :)

My thoughts so far:

(2days)

PROS:

-WATER/DUST RESISTANT NEED I SAY MORE!!! :D

-Excellent Build! very nice looking and thin :D

-Wifi is really good (i live in an old house and on the third floor still get good wifi strength)

-5" Screen is really good! When you get great HD wallpapers (zedge or backgrounds HD) it really pops.

-Micro SD slot BIG + :D (takes 64GB when formatted)

-Good ringtones and notifications

-Strong vibration

-Nice U.I (some lag but switched to NOVA Laucher)

-When combined with Nova Launcher this phone is BEAST!!! :D

-Sounds nice with headphones on (not as good as my S3 w/ PowerAMP)

-GAMES ARE AWESOME!!! :D (Sleepy jack,Tapped out Simpsons,Dark Night)

-Thick lanyard hole (ima wear this as a chain lol)

CONS:

-Walkman doesn't read folders it just puts all the albums into one folder

-Lockscreen either you have a swipe OR lock can't have both :(

-Non removable battery (trade off)

-Can't choose lockscreen wallpaper when pattern is chosen (only in swipe) :(

-Gets dirty really fast (want to get a new protector any suggestions?)

-Album puts everything in one folder (i use Quickpic)

-Sony services run in the background (may contribute to battery drainage)

-Blacks are no where as good as Samsung's SAMOLED (on the flip side higher pixel density and colors that pop)

-PowerAMP doesn't sound as good as Walkman :( (would rather use Walkman for it's sound but, no folders means a pain to search especially, when you got 45GB worth of music)

-Speaker on the side WHY!!! :(

-Android 4.1.2

NEUTRAL:

-Battery has been OK so far time will tell

-Camera first impressions OK need more time with the camera

Though it has been only two days since i got the phone, overall, I am very happy with this phone! Most of the CONS are software based and in time there would be MOD's,hacks,etc to fix them.Extremely well built phone with a premium feel that's what i wanted! Although, there is one thing i wanted on this phone,a removable battery, but, when you get a water/dust resistant smartphone with a MicroSD slot, it's a sacrifice that i will gladly live with! :D

Added: Who needs a swifter duster when you got the Xperia Z!

Data Issue

Coming from windows Phone 7 since it was released. Had my Z for one week now and the battery issue is a bit of a downer.I love the phone and i am glad to own it just wondering whether there is a workaround or pending update for the batt issue. I thought stamina mode was gonna solve the issues however not so much.

I get about 13.5 hours with stamina mode.

Over this weekend, a new issue came to light, I had my phone in stamina mode and all data suddenly shuts off.

After playing with that dat a bit, it still didnt work. Had to restart the device for the data to come back on. It happened for a few more times till i decided to turn off stamina mode today and so for data is working fine.

Anyone else has any issues similar to this. ....

I have to say, for anyone planning on getting this device, jump on the chance right away. It is a monster. One sexy beast. You will love it.

This battery issue ought to be fixed fast.

My estimated standby time is constantly changing everytime I charge my phone.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] john_pawson:
From my xperience (see what I did there) Stamina mode is totally bugged anyway. I've already reset my phone once to fix it, which worked for about a day. I'm not planning on resetting every other day, so putting up with it for now. I've read quite a few other posts with people having similar stamina mode problems, and I've contacted Sony directly about it. Fingers crossed they'll fix this in the first firmware update, and fingers crossed that's coming as soon as Sony has hinted at.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
1. i have this problem sometimes

2. Stamina is completely work good

3. i don have music jump problem !

4. not happend for me, and i know those users who reported temporary death for xz had just charge problem (first time use or sth like this)

5. google service is good

6. no dead pixel at all

7. not getting hot abnormally

8. wifi works good

--- --- ----- -------- --------------------- ------------

9. i have problem with vpn connection; i seems not stable enough! or maybe bug in stamina or i configured stamina badly

10. swipe mode completely disabled when set vpn connection and pattern mode. however it s not important ;)

11. butter project of jelly bean for auto replacing of widget not work properly.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schaggo:
11. Launcher dependant, not per se a Jelly Bean feature. Just stock launcher of Jelly Bean got it first...

10. You mean on lockscreen? Of course. You can't have two different unlock methods simultaneously. Pattern is one, simple swipe is another. This is common to all Android's on all devices of all manufacturers.

I can't imagine though that the VPN connection has anything to do with the unlock options available. Are you really talking about VPN or are you maybe talking about Exchange? Because Exchange can force certain security details such as what unlock options are available to the end user. My company does that, without rooting and breaking the security guidelines (:fingers-crossed: hope IT doesn't read this message :laugh:) I have to use a complicated password to unlock my device. On a side note: about time root arrived :p

9. I suppose it's a steady VPN connection which you have running steadily in the background? Then forget about Stamina, disable it, as it should/will eventually cut your internet connection and thus will interrupt the VPN tunnel. No internet, no VPN.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
9. i can receive msg from gtalk when screen off (stamina on) it means i have wifi connection. but u r right it might be about vpn servers!

10. but yes when i tried to create vpn connection first time device asked me to set another lockscreen mode instead of simple swipe

>> BUT in Xperia arc, xperia S, galaxy s3, galaxy s2 and lots of android phone that i worked i had both pattern and swipe. (and iphone 4 :o )

first unlock swipe >> then go to pattern.

11. the auto replacing of widget works but not good like on nexuses and galaxies

OK I thought it was the stamina mode that was giving me the sleep of death as soon as I got the phone so I turned it off and didn't have a problem for about 3 days and then yesterday it came back and then it did it again to today - twice.

Then I tried to figure out why it did so during the last two days but not the previous 3 days or so. I think I narrowed it down to using ES Task Manager which I like to use to kill tasks (45 down to 12) but I think killing the tasks causes the phone to go into the sleep of death. I haven't use Task manager since I suspected that it might be the cause and so far so good.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teknohtc:
Only when i game on both the S3 and XZ does it get warm but not hot i would say my S3 stays cooler when gaming but, that's because, i have a different ROM in the S3. If the S3 was stock this thing would get warm fast!

The battery on the Xperia Z i feel is better than the S3 in stock. When you put stamina + DS Battery Saver on slumberer mode it's wicked i was on standby for an 1hr still 100%! My S3 would go down to about 95-96% and when your surfing the web or gaming the S3 would drain much faster than the Xperia Z but, you have a choice of an extra battery pack (which i got) and i always walk with it just incase. So, will the S3 last you a day(12hrs) with moderate use yes but,turn down brightness and use dark if not black backgrounds this will help you save battery.Will the Xperia Z as well? Yes,with stamina mode on,DS Battery Saver on slumberer,and brightness to about 20%.

I will admit, i do miss having a spare battery! I guess i would have to get a power pack so i can charge the battery but, it isn't the same as swapping a dead battery with a new one.

IMO, if you are a power user get the S3/S4 because, you have the choice of a extra battery! Moderate user,Xperia Z. :D
