Now the tint has increased. It is clearly understood. Right part closer to white and left one yellowish. Does this problem exist on all the models with yellow tint. My screen is partly tinted.

Flipkart shows xperia Z1 black at Rs.36892.. Is this the cheapest??

Any one recently bought from flipkart??
[Xperia Z1 General] shamps:
That's the best price I have heard so far. Does this include the free goodies?

Cheers!

[Xperia Z1 General] satish0101:
Yes it does. All the goodies mentioned are there if your seller is WS Retail.

Just ordered mine!
[Xperia Z1 General] shamps:
That's the best deal I have heard so far. Though I will be more inclined to check the device before buying considering the random issue that keep popping up.

Good luck!!

[Xperia Z1 General] satish0101:
That's risk we all take when we go via online shopping route. But since WS Retail has 30 Days Replacement warranty, I'm not worried if any component of the phone is with issues. Considering Flipkart's reputation, I'm not worried at all.:o
[Xperia Z1 General] vicedens2002:
Nice to hear... But is it a tedious process?? Because am buying a costly mobile online for the first time..
[Xperia Z1 General] shamps:
Agreed, but still for me the mental botheration involved in the return process is too much. I rather pay a couple grand more and save me the trouble.

I guess it's just the case of "to each his own"

[Xperia Z1 General] satish0101:

[Xperia Z1 General] vicedens2002:
Agreed.. But I hear the price outside is around 43k... For this much money I can buy a 64gb microsd card....
[Xperia Z1 General] satish0101:
Even though I haven't been on the receiving end of this process but from what I've heard all I can say is that the process for Flipkart is fairly simple.

If you encounter any problem in your device within 30 days, you just let them know via phone call and then you'll have to send the package to their address. Rest is done by them.

And after sale service of Flipkart is as good as you could find with other retailers.
[Xperia Z1 General] shamps:
Nope. I got it for 38.5k with the goodies a couple of weeks back , try around and you should definitely find a better price.

Make sure if you buy from flipkart check the device thoroughly once you get it delivered the same day, I bought z1 from flipkart like a month back and my story kind ofa sucks with either z1 or flipkart so here how it went, 1st device (z1) stuck pixel, yellow hue > got replacement in 2 days, 2nd device (z1) > broken camera lens > 3rd replacement, phone temperature reaching upto 75 degree celcius > 4th replacement, screen completely yellow with a dead pixel > 5th replacement, phone wont boot up > 6th replacement, got a used device with open seal > I got fu**ed up and took a refund and that's it, went to Sony store and bought a z1 there itself and same happens 1st z1 I got with dead pixel since I was there I showed them that and they agreed to replace it and finally I got a fully working z1 but in the meanwhile of all this I also bought an LG G2 so i mostly use the G2 now and rarely use z1 so given it to my sister, so all I want to say is you don't need to be worried if buying from flipkart but make sure (hope doesn't happens to you) to be already ready if you find any defects and calling or writing email to them for replacement.
[Xperia Z1 General] vicedens2002:
:eek:

Hows the G2?? I am also OK with g2 but the updates.... That's what am worried with...
[Xperia Z1 General] ruchirtrehan:
I am not a fanboy of either company but to be honest I've never used any other phone than Sony, xperia s, sp, l, z, z ultra, z1, but after using a new brand thats lg I realized that I always thought Sony's display look the best, but after using g2 for a while for me G2 had an tremendous display and surely had an edge with it's display for obvious reasons (IPS) but it depends user to user, the biggest plus in z1 is it's 20 mp camera and waterproofing but for me camera doesn't matters much as I only take normal snaps for fb, whatsapp, instagram so even a nokia 5230 will do the camera work for me, waterproofing, hmm seriously depends on user to user also as I don't care it's waterproof or not no matter what I am not gona use it under water even if it rains suddenly I'll be worried if it rains and I got z1 in my hand and will simply keep it in my pocket as xperia z had destroyed my hopes on waterproofing, G2 on the other hand also prefers on user to user needs, you get 2 variants only 16gb and 32 gb no expandable storage for me 32 gb is more than enough and fantastic, but some might need more storage than 32 gb and there's where sd card comes in part but sadly g2 has no sd card slot/option, so you gota decide for yourself which suits you better, for me I like both the devices and will soon carry them both with me but as said before G2 has an edge by it's display coz I am mostly a guy who stays with friends shows them pics and vids and trust me they some time get angry as they are unable to see content on display of z1 as they stand left/right or different sides around me whereas g2 ca show everything, but that's not a issue for some people as ofc, who uses the phone at stupid angles (I don't :p) but yeah when friends see it you might gota hear them abusing you that wtf is this I cant even see the display xD and if you're a guy who loves modifying devices i.e custom ROM's and Kernels then z1 might not be your choice as of now if you're wanting it for camera and ROM's like CM or PAC as unlocking bootloader bricks camera on z1 however a TA partition backup will help you get safe by loosing the camera functionality, and yeah updates of g2, hmm, cant say anything as lg's update reputation has been worst in the past but I think that will be changed as lg itself is tied up with google so I am not really worried about updates, over & all, I'll prefer you to go and have a hands-on of both devices as no 1 in world can tell you which device is better as it's gona be your personal device and only you have to use it, so better test them both and check out which suits you better!
[Xperia Z1 General] vicedens2002:
Thanks for the insight.. For me camera is not a big thing... Only worried about the updates and ROMs dev development... I don't install new ROMs from day 1... I will definitely will give it a year after that only I try custom kernels or ROMs... But only root in a month or two.. I now myself have HTC desire HD.. Its dev development is very good.. That's why am still keeping it after 3 years of usage... I just want this kinda support to follow into my new mobile.... Be it Sony or lg... Not worried(sometimes except screen and microsd slot) about anything...
[Xperia Z1 General] ruchirtrehan:
It wont be wrong to guess that z1 might have an edge on g2 as considered on development because many great devs do own a z1 currently specially doomlord and krabappel2548 also [NUT] is around so maybe you should have a look at z1 as for development coz z1 has one of the best devs around in xda,
[Xperia Z1 General] vicedens2002:
So Z1 it is for me then.. Only main worry NOW is about the display :D

Any app recommendation for that??
[Xperia Z1 General] warfareonly:
Display tester
[Xperia Z1 General] ruchirtrehan:
Hmm, do install dead pixel tester and see if any dead pixels are there and also if you feel your display is very yellowish use "filter your screen" and change values of red, yellow, blue and alpha your display will get stunning after it but if it doesn't get a replacement other than that I can bet and say software calibration is very poor of z1's display and will surely be fixed/improved in future updates, other than that it's a killer phone, make sure you buy screen protectors for both back and front of device even before buying the device itself coz z1 has an ASF (anti shatter film) you can remove it but not easily and once you remove it your warranty is gone and it's not meant to be removed but some people do and also you'll loose the Sony logo on front after you remove ASF, and the ASF can be scratched easily coz it's not scratch resistant so make sure when you get the device first thing you do is apply screen protectors, but if you don't mind scratches you're good to go. :p
[Xperia Z1 General] vicedens2002:
The front glass is not a gorilla kind of glass??
[Xperia Z1 General] ruchirtrehan:
The glass is either Gorilla glass or Dragontail but it's useless since it's covered with ASF and as I said it gets scratched easily as it's not scratch resistant and if you remove it you loose the Sony logo as well as Sony warranty and it's not very easy to remove, you can find some vids on youtube on how to remove it,
[Xperia Z1 General] warfareonly:
It's Dragontrail glass.
[Xperia Z1 General] vicedens2002:
Now flipkart show black one as 40950. :(:(

Should i buy XZ1?

Hi guys!!! After long and satisfactory use of my Galaxy SII, im planing to buy Xperia Z1. I just want to know that is there any hardware related issues on this phone? Im asking cuz i had two incidents where i have to think twice to spend 39k for the phone.

First was when i went to Croma store at Kala Ghoda, Fort, i started camera, it wont open! Nothing happened, no camera app was working, so i asked guy from store and he did factory reset to overcome that issue. So anybody have to do same any point of time???

Second, one of my friend works at some store, i dont remember name, she told me that they sold over 50pcs of XZ1 and out of that 50, 25-27 customers came back with different types of issues. Though sony replaced almost all of them, but these things making me think twice.

Apart from these, i also heard of glass cracking inside pocket, or glass back cover removed due to heating and melting of glue and making it non waterproof.

Any help from you guys who are using it will be appreciated.

Thanks in Advance:o
[Xperia Z1 General] ImAnurag:
Any happy Z1 user here...all comments with complaining forever :p

Enjoy the phone guys, if it is hardware issue get it replaced and it it is software, wait for firmware updates :good:

P.S. 14.2.A.X.XXX Android 4.3 coming soon for Z1 and ZU and ( for another device, I guess some knows which is it ;) ) ( pre-final version is in testing now ).

From my point of view s4 was excellent
[Xperia Z1 General] DeathlessOne:
Guys, an issue with the proximity sensor of my device started yesterday. All was well when suddenly the sensor went berserk and would automatically switch off after I answer a call (when not placed near my ear) and it won't come up even after the call was hung up. I would press the power button twice or thrice before it comes back to life and the same happens after another call gets answered. It was irritating to do a factory reset, so did a restart and it was fine until noon. The problem rose up again in the evening and another restart resolved it. Now it's fine until now.

Guys please don't tell me that it's a hardware issue. I dunno what's actually wrong with it. I guess it fell in love with the Service Center and wants to visit it every often :)
[Xperia Z1 General] shamps:
It happened to me a couple of times on the 534 firmware. The phone will not come on unless the call was disconnected from the other end. After flashing the 257 ftf through the flash tool, it never happened though.

Cheers!

Sent from my Xperia Z1
[Xperia Z1 General] DeathlessOne:
Yeah I know it happened in the 534's. Sony fixed it in 257 but it's happening to me in this one. It won't display even when the call has got disconnected. It would only come to life when I press the home button 4-5 times.
[Xperia Z1 General] Ame123:
Whenever this error occurs just go to tge service option and test proximity sensor 4-5 times and it will be normal again..i think its software issue bcoz in the service test the proximity sensor works absolutely fine

for me it happened twice on .257fw and once i restart its back to normal.......................so dont worry its a common bug

[Xperia Z1 General] 301stSpartan:
Hey guys... quick question. For device replacement, do we have to go to the official Sony service center, or can we go to one of the authorized service centers that are listed on the Sony website? I'm in Bangalore, and the official stores is kind of in the middle of nowhere
[Xperia Z1 General] DeathlessOne:
Hey Kevin, if it's listed in Sony website, then you can take it. No probs :)

Btw, what happened for you to replace?
[Xperia Z1 General] 301stSpartan:
Thanks. Strange thing... yesterday my phone just stopped charging unless it was plugged into a computer. No normal wall charger works. And even when plugged into the computer it's charging much much slower then it used to. No clue what happened :what:
[Xperia Z1 General] DeathlessOne:
Try a Restart - Factory Reset - Repair - Restore using FT - Replacement.

Follow the cycle till it gets resolved or else, time to feel the smell of a new Z1.
[Xperia Z1 General] 301stSpartan:
Yeah. First thing I did was to flash a new ftf with full wipe. No luck
[Xperia Z1 General] DeathlessOne:
Jumped to the final step eh? No worries! Sony's service center to the rescue. Looks like Sony has to concentrate a lot on replacing devices rather than selling them. They could also consider opening just one store in a city and 10 service centers in it and double the staff count on it when compared to those in the stores :)

Camera issue identification

Hi All!

I need a little help in identifying whether or not my z1 has camera issues.

Below are screeenshots of the camera app in potrait and landscape modes respectively. I am a little concerned about the flashing red dots at the corners.

http://postimg.org/image/rbmuqg85b/

http://postimg.org/image/a9pfam3wf/

Are these normal?

My previous phone had no such issues ( galaxy s2 )

I have attached a pic taken in complete darkness with only phone flash, notice the amount of grains at places where the red dots were present.

I am not completely able to ascertain whether this is a hardware or a software issue.

Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry for posting this in a different thread, I am anxious after spending a whopping amount for this device:confused:

Similar amount of graininess is present in all the corners. Have you checked for black spots in the camera? And what is that white dot in the middle of those squares in the first two pics ?
[Xperia Z1 General] Beautyspin:
Not fixed in 257 for me. I never get the screen back on after a call. The proximity sensor test shows everything is fine though.. So not sure what the issue is..
[Xperia Z1 General] doomra3:
That white dot is a small led on set top box for the tv.

I am not sure how I should.check for black dots on the camera.

Pics taken in proper light also seem to be very grainy at the borders, however no black dots.

The problem is that the thing on which phone focuses on is good and remaining everything is blurry.

I have tried this using both auto and manual modes.
[Xperia Z1 General] warfareonly:
To check for black dots, click a few pics of bright (bright colored) things - like the palm and other things. If there are black spots, they will show up on each and every pic you shoot.

Might be something wrong with your camera module then. Compare it with another Z1, if both images don't come out the same, take yours to the service centre.
[Xperia Z1 General] doomra3:
Unfortunately i don't know some one with an xperia z1

so can't compare.

i compared the pics with xperia z though and the pics taken at 8mp auto mode were definitely better in xperia z.

i tried taking a pic of a complete white object and it seems there is some discoloration at the edges.

No black dots.

i might be able to show it to you on whatsapp/hangout app.

cant upload pics using phone here
[Xperia Z1 General] warfareonly:
Try this. In a well lighted room:

Keep 3 upright bottles in a straight horizontal line.

Use manual mode and focus on the middle bottle and click a pic. If either of the other two bottles is blurry, you have a faulty camera module.

Edit: my email id is warfareonly@gmail.com

Now you can message me on hangouts.

Xperia Z1 display issues

Hello everyone. I ma Chirag from Mumbai,India. Its been a long time I wanted to upgrade my phone. I had zeroed in on Xperia z1. I had almost planned to buy it until i heard about the yellowish tint and poor display issue. And I guess the most issues of the display have been reported from India. I am now really confused whether to go ahead and take a risk of buying this phone for 40k INR. I am now thinking of waiting till January. But i really dont know whether to wait or no? I hope the issue is solved by that time or at least sony acknowledges it and gives replacements.

What is ur suggestion guys? When will Z2 be launched? My current phone is almost useless. Cant wait long. May be till Dec end.

I have heard some batch nos dont have the problem. Is that foolprrof? Are those batch nos available in India?
[Xperia Z1 General] shamps:
Issues are there but appear randomly.

To be sure shot of getting a perfect device, buy it in person and check for all the issues before you pay.
