from where in Delhi and price too ?
[Xperia Z1 General] TheDutt:
Oh! No... Sorry! I didn't buy it in Delhi/NCR

Calcutta... here for a bit.... so... thought I'd get it... Couldn't wait...:p

Slightly expensive than what most others got it for... Rs. 41,500/-
[Xperia Z1 General] Dpk1:
Yeah, that's what I thought. Price should be more or less same @ sony center all over India, but they may vary to a higher extent in non 'sony exclusive' phone stores.

I must agree with you to some extent. First, I hate white headphones (that too paired with a black phone). Second, the ones provided with XZ EX3000AP are much more comfortable (also black) & seem to be better quality. Same thing happened with my grey note 2 (white headphones in the box :eek:).

I think you got a good deal mate :good:! Keep in mind that delhi / ncr prices are usually cheapest in our country. Well, online deals are pretty cheap too but you've got to wait a lot n all the hassle of returning (if faulty unit) etc. compared to the ease of just walking in a local store & asking for a demo.

Edit: On a different note, I observed that the phone heats up pretty quick when playing with the camera on the latest firmware .534. But other than that no issues for me on this firmware so far :)!
[Xperia Z1 General] japjit100:
today sony service centre replace my z1 they take it and tell me you got new z1 on monday:D
[Xperia Z1 General] DooMLoRD:
i think the Accident cover replacement is a good thing... may be the next batch of Z1 might have screens which dont have the yellow tint...
[Xperia Z1 General] amankapoor4:
he he, and if that is the case, break your phone and get a replacement :P
[Xperia Z1 General] hoezay:
Got a Z1 today. Beautiful looking device. Updated to the latest firmware and a little while later the screen suddenly went black, but still on and remained so. Used the power button + Volume up button combo to reset the device. Everything seems good so far. About the YELLOW TINT. I seem to have it too,But If you go into display settings > brightness and uncheck "Adapt to lighting conditions" , it fixes the yellow tint. Also, here's no yellow tint when i'm looking at the screen head on.But changing the viewing angle even slightly brings out the yellow tint. ( even with "adapt to lighting conditions" unchecked )

How the hell do you people get so much screen time? I barely get 3 hours at best!! Sure I have the 4G version but I've mostly been connected to wifi since I've been at home!! Gr... Really want the .534 update!! It improves battery life but the UK unlocked LTE ones don't have it yet!

White Balance settings in Xperia Z1 ?

got my XZ1 today.

Thanks to [MENTION=4579858]anmolbedi[/MENTION] for telling the shop. Got Z1 at Rs 39.5K with full offer :)

Tell me one thing please, where is White Balance settings in Xperia Z1 ? not able to find it as it was in XZ.
[Xperia Z1 General] anmolbedi:
I am glad that I was able to help. Z1 has adaptive light.

Cheers!
[Xperia Z1 General] DeathlessOne:
Congrats mate!!

No WB in Z1 as of now!!

---------- Post added at 08:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:25 PM ----------

Adaptive light is supposed to do with brightness and screen viewing under sunlight. Z had both AB and WB as well. Both are not related to each other. White Balance is used to tweak the whites in our display globally.
[Xperia Z1 General] ImAnurag:
i thought mine had some software issue :p

Will play with Z1 tonight, and will be posting the results and query in tomorrow's post :)

Is "Sony and Xperia" logo while at booting up - are at perfectly center position or little bit closer towards upside. ?

what settings are you using to avoid yellow tint, any additional app ?
[Xperia Z1 General] Dpk1:
Yeah the sony xperia logo (boot screen) are near upper end of the screen, not at the center. I read somewhere that there is an app on playstore called something like screen adjuster :confused:. You may try that, although for me the screen has pretty much acceptable whites.
[Xperia Z1 General] ImAnurag:
can we control lights on it like we can in xsp...illumination bar app works ?

earphones are crap, MH750 i got them with XSL and now with Z1 :/ Any good suggestion for earphones. ?
[Xperia Z1 General] anmolbedi:

[Xperia Z1 General] japjit100:
i got my z1 replacement on Monday

i dont want yellow tint again :fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Z1 General] El Che:
any reason why i should buy z1 over the g2 apart that its water/dust resistant ?
[Xperia Z1 General] anmolbedi:
Get it replaced !
[Xperia Z1 General] ImAnurag:
How many days it took for replacement ? 6 days ? You gave to sony service center ??
[Xperia Z1 General] ImAnurag:
What brightness level you are using on Z1 ?

If brightness is set to 0 then screen will appear dim and yellow and if it is set to 100 pure white....so more preferable around 35%, like off white color ?

is HDR option available on 8MP mode in camera ?

anyone remember the model number of earphones which came with XZ ?
[Xperia Z1 General] japjit100:
service centre guy tell me they only replace there water poof phones

no repairing for sony water poof phones

if you got any any defect in z1 you got replacement:laugh:

no 7 days policy
[Xperia Z1 General] ImAnurag:
You did anything special to get rid of that yellow tint on screen ?

---------- Post added at 12:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 PM ----------

ok i know that, i got my z in 6 days...m asking how long it took for the replacement unit of XZ1 to come to you ?
[Xperia Z1 General] japjit100:
I compare both z1s screen on service centre

My Z1 screen so dim
[Xperia Z1 General] amankapoor4:
Micro SD card slot, and better build quality.

LG G2 scores in a better screen and bigger screen. It is lighter, camera has OIS. 32 GB version is 43,500, but should come down pretty quickly and settler around 39.5k. Web browsing time on G2 is way higher then Z1.

I will be going for G2, because i have Z already, and i am not very convinced to buy Z1 because of screen issues and camera issues. For me 32 GB space is enough on a phone, so won't miss the SD card. Also the 11+ hr of web browsing is a huge Positive for me.
[Xperia Z1 General] japjit100:
tomorrow I GOT REPLACEMENT
[Xperia Z1 General] 301stSpartan:
So I finally got time to get to a store and check out the demo model and was considering buying but after taking like 3 or 4 pictures, it said the camera is too hot and has to shut and that it will only work again after it cools down. Took a minute or two to work again. This happened like three times in the ten minutes I was using the phone.

Anyone else faced this? Demo was running 518 firmware, so can anyone definitively say this has been fixed or improved with firmware updates.

This is a complete deal breaker in my book.
[Xperia Z1 General] ImAnurag:
ok on monday you will be getting it, when you submitted your handset to them ? only handset or whole box ?
[Xperia Z1 General] japjit100:
FIRST THING IS no phone in market gives 11 hours of screen time

z1 screen time is very good 5 to 6 hour

g2 have power button on back it is very bad for some user personally i dont like it

next update solve screen and camera problems

g2 have plastic build in dont like plasticity phones

g2 is good phone if dont like z1

---------- Post added at 04:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:10 PM ----------

they gives new sealed box

i submitted Saturday
[Xperia Z1 General] ImAnurag:
Ok so what did you submit to them ? Full BOX + all Free things ? Because customer care told me that you need to submit all things will full box and all free thing you got...

so what did you submit to them ?

2 days that's awesome, here they take more than 6 days :/
[Xperia Z1 General] japjit100:
i not submit free things

only box and phone
[Xperia Z1 General] ImAnurag:
Box + phone + usb cable + adpater + earphones ???
[Xperia Z1 General] Sean473:
This white balance.. How do I change it on Z1?? The white balance should help with the yellow tinting issue!

LOL I've heard about it happening on some Z1's! I was on the 518 and although phone used to get hot while reading, playing vidoes, never had issue with camera. I know that .534 has fixed it and have it installed on mine now and phone runs much cooler! I doubt you will have the issue! The thing you should be worried about is the yellow tint problem so if your'e getting it, make sure you can check the screen before you take it with you, i.e buy from a physical store :D
[Xperia Z1 General] amankapoor4:
Here are the test: http://blog.gsmarena.com/lg-g2-battery-tests-are-done-here-are-the-results/

Obviously if it plays video for 11 hrs it can do the web browsing also for 11 hours(proved in the results again). Gram in G2 is really helping it seems. The only two disadvantage of G2 are plastic body and not sure about how software updates would be.

when it comes to battery it is WAY ahead of Z1
[Xperia Z1 General] japjit100:
gsmarena battery always fake

htc one screen time 9 hours gsmarena result

in real life use age i got only 4 hour
[Xperia Z1 General] DeathlessOne:
That's where the problem is. No WB in Z1 as of .534! If Sony brings it in next update, then things should work in the tinting department. Hope someone ports it from Z. Let me try myself porting it from my Z. If I can, I'll post the results here!
[Xperia Z1 General] crk1995:
1. What are the difference between C6902 and C6903?

Is it the LTE support?

2. And supposedly i have c6902 and some developer releases a rom for c6903, will i be able to flash it.?

3. And is the CM10.1 released for Z1 is for both or any specifi version.

4. Any words on Bootloader unlocking fix?
[Xperia Z1 General] amey2606:
Can anybody tell me where can I get the Xperia Z1 for less than 40k in Navi Mumbai/Mumbai/Thane..?

Please, any reply will be appreciated.
[Xperia Z1 General] ImAnurag:
are these good ones - Sony MDR-XB30EX Headphone
[Xperia Z1 General] DeathlessOne:
1.Yes it's just LTE !!

2. Certainly you can, no probs in it.

3. More or less it would be for C6903 but no probs in flashing it on C6902 as well.

4. Sony is working on it, if it's really urgent backup the TA partition and unlock.
[Xperia Z1 General] Ame123:
hey guys what about the wifi range? is it increased from what we have on the xperia z?
[Xperia Z1 General] DeathlessOne:
Yes, they literally rock. I have bought it for my friend 5 months back and he's loving it.

---------- Post added at 06:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:55 PM ----------

In my opinion, it's just above average than Z. An update should solve it though, so no probs there.
[Xperia Z1 General] Ame123:
do u really think that an update can increase it? because the xperia z got numerous updates but nothing improved its wifi range
[Xperia Z1 General] DeathlessOne:
Yes it can be improved for sure. If an update doesn't improve it, then Sony wouldn't have worked on it. Even after some updates for Z, some call it fantastic and some feel average like me. If Sony claims that they have fixed it and if is still poor, then it depends the router's side as well!!
[Xperia Z1 General] shubh_007:
Idk exactly who is selling it for less than 40k but on snapdeal it is 40.5k. You can check in vashi sector 17, nice place to buy phones. There are many shops to check out.
[Xperia Z1 General] amey2606:
Buying Online doesn't convince me, for such a costly cell phone.

Nobody in vashi or thane is going below 42k.

So was just wondering how come u guys got it for 40k in local stores.
[Xperia Z1 General] guddu2011:
Z1 for 38990

http://www.maniacstore.com/Sony-Xperia-Z1.html
[Xperia Z1 General] amey2606:
Thanks but thats what i said.

Dad is not convinced with buying online.

A brick and mortar store is the only option.
[Xperia Z1 General] guddu2011:
same in my case, but i am getting z1 for 41k here
[Xperia Z1 General] amey2606:
Yup, mine not going below 42k.

And some guys have got it for 40k i guess, as posted by them. :(
[Xperia Z1 General] shubh_007:
They even have COD on snapdeal. So you can check if it's DOA. And rest of your complaints will be addressed by the service centre only so doesn't really matter what is the source of your purchase as long as you have a proper bill. If you are convinced then try convincing your dad and do see the seller rating. If many people have good reviews there is less chance that you would have a bad experience. Good luck with the purchase.:thumbup:
[Xperia Z1 General] 301stSpartan:
Thanks... Hope you're right because I just bought one :)
[Xperia Z1 General] amey2606:
Thanks, i'll sure try that out too.

Its just very hard convincing parents these days. ;)

The resale value of my xperia z is so low... Around 21k...can't buy z1 until i get at least 26k out of this... :(
[Xperia Z1 General] amankapoor4:
Unfortunately Resale of any Android phone is bad, be it Z, HTC one or S4. You can easily knock off 30% of the price you paid in 2 months of purchase.
[Xperia Z1 General] japjit100:
All flagship phone have bad resale

3 mouths old s4 price now 25k original price 40k

Last year I have s3 it have worst resale I purchased s3 for 37k after 8 mouths price will 18k
[Xperia Z1 General] shubh_007:
G2 will supposedly be priced lower than z1 and z1 lower than note3.

G2 around 40k. Z1 around 43k and Note 3 between 45-50k.
[Xperia Z1 General] lathiwala_99:
If its priced around 40-45k I would be buying it as soon as possible.
[Xperia Z1 General] DeathlessOne:
I called Sony Xperia Sales Head today and he said that he is attending the event on Delhi and the best part is that he CONFIRMED that Z1 will be priced INR 43000! Sure Shot!!. I asked him twice about the price and he confirmed it. Stocks will be available by 20-21st and regarding the freebies he mentioned that we would be getting a 3000-3500mAh Portable Charger and a free case. No Smartwatch/Headphones/Lens kits I guess.
[Xperia Z1 General] shubh_007:
Awesome. I guessed it right. 43k it is. That would be the mrp i suppose and in local shops it would be 2-3k lesser and in a few months it would be around 35k. Perfect. :D
[Xperia Z1 General] DooMLoRD:
yup i can confirm that :)

device will be in stock from 16th... dealer billing to start on 16/17...

it will be priced below 44k!
[Xperia Z1 General] sachinaik:
Univercell has already put a standing poster about Z1. It's official Sony poster.

It says : Inaguration pack : 1case, 5000 Mah pack and accidental insurance.
[Xperia Z1 General] amankapoor4:
so my 42,990 prediction was bang on, superb stuff, kudos to Sony for pricing it aggressively. They could have priced it higher stating the weak rupee, but this will make it probably cheapest around the globe. Good they did not get the good for nothing freebies like smart watch and lens and gave the discount on Phone. Now to get it for 40k from somewhere :D
[Xperia Z1 General] japjit100:
this is good news

40k to 45k is good price for best phone in market :good:

sony is serous about india market
[Xperia Z1 General] bigbonly2u:
Where in bangalore Sachin? Which Univercell??
[Xperia Z1 General] Dpk1:
Yeah! I've been told the same price and availability date for Z1 by my local dealer. I think the Z1 pricing by sony is quite aggressive (in India) and rightfully so, coz they wouldn't want to lose sales (esp after success of XZ) in a potential market like India. Already booked one for myself (to be available on Sep 20th) :laugh:.
[Xperia Z1 General] systoxity:
wow baller, any idea if we can buy from india and ship to the us for savings? how does importing work? Do we need to pay tariffs? is shipping expensive?
[Xperia Z1 General] shubh_007:
I don't think you would like to get a non-lte model from India cause they won't launch the device with lte in India. And if you get it exported from India you would get Sony India warranty on the device. If a person brings the device like he is using the device for himself you might be able to skip the duties.

[Xperia Z1 General] amankapoor4:
Sure you can, but i would advise to wait for few weeks, so that if there are any known production issues, they are highlighted and rectified. And as already informed it will be a non LTE version. Shipping from here would be no hassle, can be done through Fedex, rest depends on Import duties in US.

They will never give you the price you expect, you should better sell at Olx or some other site.

Got back from the Sony Service center in Mumbai ( Andheri ) . They said this "yellow" hue when slightly tilting Sony Xperia Phones is normal . They even pulled out another Z1 they had and that too had the yellow hue. the white actually becomes more creamy than white.
