this phone is not divers equipment. me personally will probably never take it to waters. im just happy i can use it in rain. thats as extreme as i will ever go.
[Sony Xperia ZR] Tirppa:
Ordered my ZR the other day. No afterwards I'm reading that Sony screen scratch easily. And by screen I mean the antishatter film. I really wan't a phone that can handle being carried in the same pocket with my keys. I've heard that removing the antishatter film will void your warranty. And I don't want to put an extra protective film on top of the antishatter film. Should I just cancel my Xperia ZR and go for the Galaxy S4 Active instead?
[Sony Xperia ZR] george101:
Just put a screen guard over the antishatter film.. Doesn't make much of a diff. Or go for S4 Active.
[Sony Xperia ZR] sisore:
Just don't, according to that minimalistic start up guide.

Freshwater is okay, but avoid saltwater.
[Sony Xperia ZR] djpeesh:
What's the big deal with scratches. Its a part and parcel of a smart phone. I usually have a ton of them. Don't have a scratch guard. Removed it within an hour of installing it. It messed up my contrast and I couldn't stand it.
[Sony Xperia ZR] itandy:
Yesterday I successfully flashed the 4.2.2 firmware with root. This morning after using the phone for a while, it suddenly says the SD card was removed unexpectedly. I rebooted the phone and after a short while the same happened. I found that the phone was pretty warm at that time. Then I shutdown the phone, removed the battery, removed the SD card and reinserted it again. The phone now seems to cool down and no more problem with the SD card.

I hope it's just an isolated incident. Actually I found the phone much warmer than my previous one (HTC Incredible S) after using for a while. And I don't know if it has any negative impact on the SD card inside. Maybe I'm just being paranoid. :(
[Sony Xperia ZR] DPY!:
Same* here!

This happened with me too! I use Solid Explorer and sometimes when i browsed to a specific folder on the SD Card, it showed that "SD card removed unexpectedly" and Solid explorer closes. However, it happened on that folder only, and my phone wasn't warm, and it fixed itself in a few seconds afterwards.BTW its a 32 GB Sandisk class 10.
[Sony Xperia ZR] itandy:
I'm using Sandisk 32GB UHS-I. Should be the same one as yours. But I found that in 4.2.2 the readahead buffer is only 128KB. I remember it was higher (256/512) in 4.1.2. Not sure if it matters.
[Sony Xperia ZR] moolash:
Keep your keys in a different pocket that you keep your phone in.

These screens are pretty much strong nowadays but coins and keys in a pocket have never been friends. They make millions of tiny scratches, not to speak about the glass of the cameralens.

Or buy a protective screen. And still carry your keys elsewhere.

depends on where you are and your phone SI number. if u can't wait then use flashtool to flash it. how? search around.

like the name says, it's an antishatter sheet. it's to prevent the glass from breaking out and hurting you. it's not scratch resistant. u can peel it off if u want to. not too sure about the warranty void thing tho...

Last night I did two things hoping to fix the sdcard issue:

1. Reformat the card in Android settings

2. Change the readahead buffer to 512KB

Today the sdcard issue still happened once. I used an app call SD Card Monitor https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sdcardmonitor to monitor the issue.

I also Googled a bit about the issue and to my surprise it's all over the place. Specifically this post tries to explain the cause of the issue being the class 10 rating of these sdcard.

If the issue cannot be solved soon, I think I'll fall back to 4.1.2 because it only begin to appear after I upgraded to 4.2.2.

Just want to report more on my sdcard issue. Today I have no such unexpected removal issue. Then I try to backup eveything using CWM. The backup was smooth and uneventful. But after the backup when I reboot the phone, the sdcard is not found anymore. I rebooted many times and still it's not found. I insert the sdcard into my PC and it's fine. I inserted the sdcard into another phone and it's fine. Just that the ZR doesn't seem to like it at all.

Then I found this thread for Xperia L. Those guys are having very similar issue that their class 10 sdcard are not recognized. Guess what, a very latest update released a few days fixed their sdcard problem.

Now it's seems more and more likely that Sony is having issue in their firmware with certain sdcard. And maybe they already know that and even fixed it for some phones.

Agree. The battery life of ZR is not bad at all. Right after I upgraded to 4.2.2, I found the battery is worse than 4.1.2. But then it was my sdcard acting up which makes the phone to run mediaserver frequently that eats up battery. After replacing the sdcard, now the battery is on par with 4.1.2 again which is a good thing.

[Sony Xperia ZR] KlamKhowder:
Hey guys, i'm considering moving over to this phone from my HTC One X, and I was wondering if I could ask a few brief questions.

1. How is the battery life, specifically the screen on time and browsing time. I've seen a few screenshots here of the general android battery settings overview but no screenshots of the screen on time. The reason I ask is my HOX is getting about 2 hours of screen on time before the battery drains fully :crying: , so i need something a little more efficient. Also if you do post your screenshots let me know if you have the LTE or the HSDPA version as i assume LTE would be more power hungry.

2. I have seen people bickering back and forth over moving apps to the SD card, i understand that this function is not built into the stock rom currently, but has anyone actually reported moving apps to Sd card with a third party program? if so which program was used.

3. For those of you who play games or do other CPU/GPU intensive tasks, how hot does the phone get? I understand that such a measurement is suggestive but currently my HOX sits at about 40C while browsing and gets up to 60C :eek: when playing games, which is insane.

4. How is the Walkman app? I don't stream music, i only listen to it locally so i'm always looking for a good local music player.

Thanks! :)
[Sony Xperia ZR] itandy:
1. I'm not sure about screen on time because I usually measure battery life in terms of idle time. Anyway, ZR is pretty good at idle time which takes about 0.8%/hour for me. I'm using LTE version.

2. I remember successful cases to use 3rd party app to move app to SD. But I don't use it myself.

3. ZR is actually warmer than my previous phone during normal use (e.g. browsing/facebook via LTE). I believe it'll only get warmer in games. I've also heard similar reports from other ZR users.

4. Personally I like Beats audio/SRS in HTC phone more than ZR audio. Again it's very personal.
[Sony Xperia ZR] tudork:
1. You can easily do at least 4 hours screen time. I haven't done it continuously but it's definitely better than what you have now.

2. I don't know

3. Hottest I got it playing games was 43.5. 60 degrees? That's scary!

4. Walkman is not bad, does the job. It's not the most sophisticated player but it's ok. The headphones that come with the phone are not good though, you will need to upgrade them.
[Sony Xperia ZR] KlamKhowder:
Have you guys seen the GSM arena battery tests for the ZR? How accurate did you guys find it?

[Sony Xperia ZR] djpeesh:
It's been two months with the phone.

1. I get about 3 hours of screen on time. Of course, I use a lot of email and calling, so it may be longer without it.

2. APP to SD card is touch and go at the moment.

3. I don't do too much CPU intensive stuff so I may be way off but the hottest that it gets is about 40C

4. The Walkman app is rudimentary. I uninstalled and use Google Music/Apollo and DSP Manager. Sound is decent, using all sorts of headsets

Hope this helps
[Sony Xperia ZR] St_Ranger:
1. Browsing internet, watching youtube via Wi-Fi and 3G - you can see attached pics

2. Use Directory Bind for moving caches and Clen master for moving some apps.

3. When used for gaming is heated to 40°C. When browsing/watching videos no more 34-35°C.

4. I use powerAmp for listening music.

Planned To Upgrade

Hi ZR users, I am saving some money for an upgrade to this phone (From my current phone - Xperia Ray). Being a future holder, I ought to ask some questions about the ZR and I hope you can help me.

Anyways, here are my questions

1. The water proofing design of this phone is somewhat similar to Xperia V right? Where the battery cover has a rubber seal inside to prevent water in the battery holder. Now, does the cover have some issues? I mean, when placing it back on the phone, do the rubber seals fit automatically in its place? (Not like I will showcase its waterproof ability always, just taking a precaution)

2. I do not connect my phone to the internet (Wifi/Data) very often, if the battery tests here show some 1 day of usage, what do you think will be the battery life If the following is not frequently turned on? - Bluetooth, Wifi, Data, GPS

TIA!
[Sony Xperia ZR] ADDICT.ANK:
I would say u go to a sony's store and try to use it and check the things u are looking for. It would be satisfying enough for you and the rest u can ask any executive over there..

About battery life it would take some time to settle. But would probably give u a day..not sure but it will..

And post ur queries and decision pls.

Sent from Kernel to the Rom
[Sony Xperia ZR] blue_quartz:
1. Yeah, you wouldn't be able to close the cover if the seal doesn't ft perfectly.

2. Will you still be using the phone very often then? I think I've conditioned the battery well enough over a week and am satisfied to report that it only drains between 5% to 10% overnight with data over Wifi on - that's a solid seven hours or so when left on its own, screen off. I think it should be able to last well over a day - maybe even stretching to a full 48 hours - if you're really keeping data off with minimal usage.
[Sony Xperia ZR] Arup ZR:
My results are same as yours after keeping the phone for a month or so. I was among the early buyers, I held off buying the Z and the Z Ultra as I wanted a phone I could hold in my hands and the IP58 was the additional lure.
[Sony Xperia ZR] nostupidthing:
anyone???:D:D
[Sony Xperia ZR] CressKH:
1. The seal conforms nicely when you put the cover back, and don't worry about that because its IP58 rating is real!

2. Based on your usage, it's definitely not a problem for your ZR to last for more than 1 day, possibly 2 days. Turn on the Stamina Mode and you might last even more than 2 days!
