[Xperia Z General] linker3000:
I was lucky enough to be able to 'upgrade' my Samsung Galaxy Note to an Xperia Z at no cost (company deal) and after three days of use I am really disappointed - if not frustrated - with the Sony. I was attracted to the combination of screen size and thinness of the design, but usability-wise, this phone is a let down for me. I probably take/make only a handful of calls per day and the phone is used mostly as a work support tool/mini tablet (email, rss feeds, news, server/network status reports from our monitoring tools). Here's my thoughts so far:

1) Performance - great & battery drain/hour seems to be less than the Note for similar tasks.

2) Connector covers - AARGH! - what a pain to have to keep flipping them open for headphones and charging. Fair enough - I see why they exist and if I specifically bought the phone for its water-resistant features then perhaps I'd appreciate them more, but as things stand I'm tempted to rip/cut them off! (but won't)

3) USB connector is on the top left side - that really makes for a badly-positioned, hanging-out lead when the phone's in a car dock or charging on the desk and you want to pick it up for a call. I'm really used to all my previous phones (HTC Touch Pro, HTC Touch Pro II, HTC Desire, Samsung G. Note) having the USB port at the bottom - which has also meant that the same dock could be used for different phones.

4) Phone power button is on the right side, in the middle - totally obscured when in a car dock so here' s the scenario: Phone is in satnav mode (Yay Waze!). Phone rings, call is answered and phone speaker turned on. Call ends, and phone has locked itself, so to get back to satnav, you have to remove the phone from the dock to press the power button - OH for a power/wake up button on the face of the phone! Maybe there's a util for this?

5) The screen is really hard to view outdoors, even in moderate sunlight (Yeah, I have tried with the 'adapt to lighting conditions' feature off). The Note is much better in this respect

6) Sound output is from the bottom, right edge of the phone...so hold the phone in your right hand and you muffle the audio when listening to music or watching a video.

7) Where's my white cotton gloves? This phone looks awful after 5 mins in your hand - marks everywhere on the glossy black finish. Can't wait for my soft protective back/cover to arrive and then only the face of the phone will look like it's been dipped in grease.

8) RSI - holding this phone for any length of time as a tablet (for reading news, emails etc.) makes my hand hurt - it's worse than the (bigger) Note - probably because the Sony is so thin that the pinch/holding grip is different.

SO: 11/10 for looks, but 5/10 for functionality.

I can't complain about the opportunity to have this phone, but I have just ordered a micro SIM adaptor so I can use the Note again as my main phone and the Xperia Z will go to someone else.
[Xperia Z General] dibdin:
Another pointless thread..
[Xperia Z General] Fokezy:
This post is not only pointless,but these things are so minor and 90% persional taste.

And while on that subject,wtf is with hating on the damn flaps.Even if the phone was not waterproof,I like my phone smooth,not with 5 holes on each side that make rings on my fingers.I get its annoying to open and close them,but if you are not using headphones 30 times a day...I dont get the issue. Btw if you hate them so much,buy a dock and NFC headphones and you dont ever have to open flaps in your life
[Xperia Z General] praveen7796:
useless thread....nothing constructive out of this at all.
[Xperia Z General] hebbe:
2) use docking station and bluetooth headset

4) use a different car dock

7) i don't have oily fingers, so no problem here
[Xperia Z General] benziii:
Don't think many will feel you're pain here guy.

This would have taken you about 5 min to check out beforehand.

Buying a waterproof phone to bash it's flaps is kind of silly if you ask me.
[Xperia Z General] stefanve:
Buy a new dock :), personally I really like the positioning when handling the phone, I'm glad it is not on top as it would made one handed use not as easy as it is now

Strange I really liked the display in the sun, maybe a sharp vs JDI panel?

This phone has a very special feature, you can rotate the phone :), although for some (stupid) reason this doesn't seem to work in portrait

I had this at first, but not any longer, at first I held it like I did with my arc, but this phone requires different handling to be comfortable, depending on my sitting position it rests on my pink an slightly in my palm (the arc was mainly in the palm of my hand). Or it lays flat in my hand.
[Xperia Z General] abd_alazeez2002:
U should have no problem with power button and screen size if u came from galaxy note as they r similar.

The bad thing about the phone is the poor low light camera quality, think the rest of the phone is amazing..
[Xperia Z General] DeadlyDazza:
6. Position is excellent. As the majority of people hold devices right handed, if held in the correct position the hand naturally amplifies the volume.

2. You're going to have to try hard to 'out-stupid' yourself on that one!

Can't we just open a thread stating stop *****ing and opening pointless threads. Don't like the phone then **** off and get something else!!!!
[Xperia Z General] BenF1:
I too have come from a Note, and to be quite honest with you, I dont think I'll be going back to Samsung any time soon.

First thing you notice is the build quality. Its 100x times better on the Z and I'm not sure how such a popular manufacture can still get away with shoddy quality.

I think the screen is quite fantastic, I was a fan of AMOLED until I saw this 1080p beauty! Its just amazing. I cannot see any pixels no matter how hard I try! The UI is much better, much more lightweight and responsive.

It's just better than the Note IMO. The only thing letting it down is battery life at the moment.
[Xperia Z General] MasK:
To OP:

Bro,

If you like the phone, rave about it. If you don't like it, quietly sell it and don't set foot here. You'll be flamed! LOL
[Xperia Z General] ojstagg93:
I Laughed at this
[Xperia Z General] linker3000:
Nope - the Note has a hard button below the display - but that particular annoyance has been fixed with an app called Auto Screen On and I can now wake up the display by waving near the proximity sensor.

Thanks to all for the constructive feedback and sorry to all those who think that personal observations on usage patterns and ergonomics are pointless.
[Xperia Z General] linker3000:
Nah - that's too easy!

If no-one posted honest, objective feedback how are phone designers and potential users going to know whether there's things that can be done to make the current or next product even better, or whether the phone is the best fit for their particular circumstances.
[Xperia Z General] linker3000:
Ah- the 'you're holding it wrong' defence!

I understand that a certain brand of ruggedised phone has connector covers with small screws securing them so you can remove them if you want, or if one should be accidentally damaged and need replacing - I am told the screwdriver is supplied in the box too.
[Xperia Z General] linker3000:
Have to agree on build quality - it's a very 'smart' smartphone. It's just some of the functional design that doesn't work for me.
[Xperia Z General] RCJ89:
^^^^^ this, I am both a htc and sony fan and if neither OEM is making something that I think is upto scratch I don't expect to be attacked for voicing that opinion. Afterall no phone is perfect and all have their flaws and will always be the same, how else will OEMs have something to improve on the following year or in the case on HTC and Sony 6-8 months down the line.
[Xperia Z General] MasK:
You are right bro.

But just look at what's going on here? Everybody here has the phone (or about to buy it) and wants to feel good about it.

So if anyone gives out an honest opinion about it, he/she gets flamed. I do agree that some points are subjective, and some points are truly genuine but some people are not picky about it.

Like for me.. I do agree on some of your points... like the volume buttons hit my car dock but the power button is fine.. and the phone has a cloudy screen..etc .. AND.. the biggest blow here:

http://talk.sonymobile.com/message/431175

It's at the Sony site and I hope they look at it.

But for me.. I sold it off after 10 days. Will wait for the One to come along.. lol :laugh:
[Xperia Z General] CaFFeiNe666:
i don't think it's pointless, personal ideas can be more constructive then people who state fake real facts (you can find some of them on these forums...)

the problem is...

you can have problem with size, probably i can't, cause i' have bigger hands...

you can have problems with fingerprints, everyone has different "finger oil", and you can have solution to this problem, changing screen and back protector with a "oleophobic" one...

you can have problems with speaker or button positioning... but for example i'm right hander, but usually use phone with left hand when one hander, o i take it with left hand and use right fingers...

etc etc

but it is not bad posting your ideas, cause you can find people with similar characteristics to yours, and this can be useful for them...

;)
[Xperia Z General] stefanve:
Yeah this wasn't a troll post no "OMG ur Guys r idiots for liking this phone".

I read it as a mini review.
[Xperia Z General] schaggo:
You're doing it wrong. This is xda-developers.com.

You're doing it right. Posting stuff directed at Sony at... sony.com.

Yes and no.

Yes, because it happened to me too, figured out how to hold it differently compared to my earlier Note to not make my palm cover the speaker though.

No, because it's not a Note, it's a different phone, different design, you have to hold and treat it differently. It's not the devices fault or Sonys fault to design something which is not similar to the phone you are/were used to. It's not like the Brits have wrong cars because the wheel is on the opposite side or American cars are broken because they only ever feature two pedals to operate, eeh?

About the design and overall niceness of the flaps on dust and waterproof consumer grade smart phones, please pick your design now:
[Xperia Z General] benziii:
Off course you can voice negative opinions.

The thing is, since this is posted here and not sent to Sony, the negative rant will just be taken as a stab at the Z users.

If you have anything negative to say, it might be a good idea to atleast have something credible and informative to nag about.

Who does not know where the placement of connectors are before buying the device?

OP is basically screaming "what a regretful impulse buy"

And to throw something positive in here.

It would be a very useful thread if he instead elaborated on the uses in car, pros-cons and what he has tried and tested etc.

I bet that phone much better than my old Arc, but I still love it.

I want badly :(

and you say that disappointing....
[Xperia Z General] jatindersharma:
Look mate....phone is awesome....the guy complaining here should know that Sony is not his uncle's company who will design phone according to his car charger...or all the crappy stuff he is talking about....note 2 is no where near Z...just the carrying case supplied is better....rest battery is becoming better and better.. Screen calibration is ok with me except a little problem in Sun light...call volume and sound thing will surely be rectified by Sony in next update.

All in all I am holding a gem in my hands.
[Xperia Z General] linker3000:

I've given the phone to a colleague who was getting fed up with Exchange email problems with his iPhone 4s.

DOS Script for creating SYMLINK code for updater-script

After searching and searching I found an usefull script for auto symlink text generation. One can use it with kitchen....

I modified it and put together in a single batch file.

It grabs APK list in directory you want (lets say C:\cygwin\home\user\kitchen\WORKING_030413_160037\preload\symlink\system\app)

and creates code and saves it to symlinks.txt

You can just copy-paste it in updater-script:

(rename sym_create.txt into sym_create.cmd)

Syntax is simple:

sym_create.cmd path_of_the_kitchen_working_directory_with_app_list

you get....

symlink("/preload/symlink/system/app/aplication_name.apk","/system/app/aplication_name.apk")

in symlinks.txt

Script:

@echo Listing APKs]
@echo .
@echo Choosen path = %1
for /r %1 %%g in (*.apk) do echo %%~nxg >> list.txt

@echo .
@echo [Preparing links]
echo .
for /f "tokens=*" %%A in (list.txt) do (echo.symlink("/preload/symlink/system/app/%%~nA.apk","/system/app/%%~nA.apk"^); >> symlinks.txt
)

I hope it saves you some time!

When add settings of my carrier in DFS (cdmatool), it is not saves them. Who can help what can it be. Or it is just need to enter right APN settings? I'm new in this. Sorry for bad English. May be some one know what I'm doing wrong. Please give me advice. :rolleyes:

Solution:

- as it turns out you need to put zeros in line 39939 (NV Items -> 39939 | NV_LG_DATA_PPP_CARRIER_I | User | - - | 1 | 2byte), than do everything like described in DFS. Also 3G Rev B works well (DFS -> tab Data -> mode -> RevB_MFPA)

[Sprint LG Optimus G] keydel:
I never used DFS.. But from what I remember from way back..

After adding the ESN to your carrier

I would flash the prl and activate the phone...

If the Internet wouldn't work... Then I would need to manually enter the APN settings.

Never did and LTE phones though..
[Sprint LG Optimus G] ysabxe:
Thanks, I'll try
[Sprint LG Optimus G] devo3d:
I'm afraid that won't work either. The phones EFS won't let the manual write stick and I can't figure out why either. I've been trying since I've had the phone. I have mine flashed to Verizon but only 1X. I was looking at the thread on backing up this phones EFS to you computer and was wondering if I could be backed-up and changed while on a PC then copied over the existing EFS. I don't have time to try it right now so if anyone else does give it a "go" and let the rest of us know if it works.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] ysabxe:

I mean configure it... in dollars it would be 25$ (I am in Europe) :cyclops: but everything flies))) ok I will PM you.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] bsquare:
The hands free activation is an app that runs automatically at startup. You can remove it from /system/app/OmaDmclient.apk or uninstall "Update Device" with Titanium Backup.

Sprint likes to change up the app in its devices, but it seems to have the common thread of "omadm" in the apk name.

Hope that helps.

Then I installed 4.2.1 and Id get to the colorful undulating lines but they would never switch to the welcome screen to allow me access. I would hit the button and they'ed switch to the new welcome screen with a low battery message and then go black.
