Thanks gire.prasad.

My point is.. if I apply any screen protector on front and back.. n if I later remove it, it wont peel of the ASF along with it.. or will it? :-|
[Xperia Z1 General] DeathlessOne:
ASF will be more sturdy than your ordinary protector. So I guess not. Though always invest on good quality and branded protectors so that they won't leave any residue when peeled off and also won't be tough to remove :)

Free Z1 Accessories

Hi,

Just informing :silly: Got Sony Magnetic Charging Dock DK31, Roxfit Premium Book Case and PDair vertical pouch case free for Z1 to be reviewed on my blog :)

Check below :)

Feeling great to have some FREE accessories :P
[Xperia Z1 General] japjit100:
you got z1 replacement if yes you got yellow tint in screen

[MENTION=4210661]ImAnurag[/MENTION]

How did you get the DK31 dock ? Is it officially available in India now?
[Xperia Z1 General] StylishMafia:
What I don't understand is that everyone says that street price will be 2-3k less than mrp..from where do you people buy it? I live in Bangalore..so if anyone knows any such shop please tell me

also will places like croma and reliance sell at cheaper cost right after release?

thanks!
[Xperia Z1 General] shubh_007:
No. Croma and other big shops don't sell cheap. In Mumbai you get phones cheaper than mrp in local mobile shops.
[Xperia Z1 General] Sean473:
UK Sim Free price is actually 550 pounds which is 55000 at current rates.... It still doesn't matter as most people including me buy it on contract and we get a reliable service and 50 times better speed than you Indians do!
[Xperia Z1 General] shubh_007:
Neither does it matter to us if you get "50 times" better speed. :p
[Xperia Z1 General] DooMLoRD:
more than 90% of the time your phone will be in screen off state... here the background syncing will be going on... which works perfectly fine even on EDGE...

out of the remaining 10% you will be using "extra high bandwidth" (LTE) services for less than 2%... so you will be paying ~120 pounds more for that "extra high bandwidth" ...

also correction: its not 50 times better speed... its about 10 times better speeds..

here is a speedtest i just performed on Vodafone India (Gujarat) 3G network

this can be easily quoted as a "high bandwidth" connection...

finally the 3G data rates are really cheap in India:

1GB 3G data for INR 249 (~2.5 GBP)

now you can see for yourself the premium you are paying for that "extra high bandwidth"

oh and forgot to mention...

that "extra high bandwidth" that you guys are bragging about, just read online how much battery gets zapped while using LTE vs 3G...
[Xperia Z1 General] Dpk1:
So, its still cheaper here in India than in the UK (i.e sim free). Well, buying on contract does offer subsidized rates but then you are bound to your carrier for some time say 1-2 yrs or more. So, as per me it's a no go as I change my phone every 3-5 months or so ;)! And about the speeds you maybe correct, but here at my place the HSPA speeds are good enough (upto 1-1.5 MB/sec) for my use (on Airtel 3G). LTE (claiming 100MB/sec) is also available on Airtel in select areas.
[Xperia Z1 General] shubh_007:
INR 249.. That's still very high. Reliance offering 1GB 3G data at just INR 123. And others would be soon slashing the rates too. :)

And these people bragging about 4G and LTE. :D
[Xperia Z1 General] amankapoor4:
and reliance is launching 4G very very soon. 13k saved is alrady a big enough saving. 3G works absolutely perfect when outside home, anyway at home Wi fi is always there. I have not missed even once not having 4G on my phone Yet.

[MENTION=5358484]StylishMafia[/MENTION]: mate you can go to Univercell in bangalore, they usually always have 5% cashback running, so 2k discount. You always have ebay and coupons otherwise.

---------- Post added at 12:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:02 PM ----------

Guys, I'd like to put up my Z and arc in exchange for purchasing Z1. The following are the exchange rates quoted by Xperia sales rep. Are they worth it? Or should I sell Z with a higher price tag somewhere?

Z - Bought on March, 6 months warranty available, got it replaced just 3 days before so a new device. Price quoted - 24k (he told this cannot be extended)

Arc - 7k (he told this cannot be extended)
[Xperia Z1 General] Dpk1:
Well, I am thinking of exchanging my XZ (5 months old, replaced 3 times) for the Z1 and the max price I've been quoted here is 24k as well. I think its a good price but I'll try to negotiate (upto 25k), if not then I'll exchange it anyway :)!
[Xperia Z1 General] shubhamnad:
Did you get that rate at sony centre or any other shop..?
[Xperia Z1 General] DeathlessOne:
Xperia (Sony) centre buddy. First he quoted 23k then settled for 24k. Why, is it fine?

Which coupon did you use for that massive discount ?
[Xperia Z1 General] warfareonly:
Can anyone suggest a good case/cover for ~1000 bucks ?

I've got no preferences as to the type of case as long as the camera part doesn't touch the surface whenever I put down the phone. As for material, preferably pu leather, but obviously it doesn't matter if the case is good enough to protect the camera.

Has anyone bought from in.mobilefun.com before? How is the service ?

Yes, I want a case for the Z1, don't go by my signature :p
[Xperia Z1 General] DeathlessOne:
Ha ha thought so that someone would ask. As always, eBay brought up the 11-11.15 am and 5-5.15 pm coupon offers for this Diwali. I used the 80% off coupon, which in turn reduced 400 Rs which is the max available discount. If you buy anything for 400, you can get it for free :)

---------- Post added at 08:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:52 AM ----------

Try the one I've posted above.

I've bought the DK-26 charging dock for my Xperia Z from them, Whatever you buy from them, you should pay shipping extra and the prices mentioned excludes shipping rates. There are two types of shipping. One via UPS (Registered Post) which costs 300 with no support or tracking option. If it gets lost, you should ask them to resend again. Moreover, it takes you about 15-20 days to reach. The next is via DHL, which delivers within 4 days max but you'd have to pay 1300 for shipping alone. They'll give you tracking number too. The best part is they'll ship immediately within hours after you place the order. The UPS delivery takes it's own time.

Experience: DK-26 was 1.9k and I opted for UPS as DHL was too costly (more than half of the dock's price). Paid 2.2k final price for a slab of plastic. You know what, I received it 2 weeks after and the condition? The packaging was all torn, including the retail box. My goodness the dock was intact. That was the first time I've ever received such kind of shipment. I felt frustrated and also left it as the product was intact.

Mobilefun is NOT in India. They've put a Indian version of their UK site. What you see is entirely an UK site with Indian prices with the in.mobilefun.com domain. All products get shipped from UK. That's why the delay, high shipping costs and condition of shipment is worse. If you can afford DHL and don't mind paying the hefty shipment price, please go for it. Or else take chances with UPS if you love the case. Their customer support is good, if it gets lost or delays than expected (>2 weeks) they'll send you a replacement. But you should wait. :)

Hope this helps!

[Xperia Z1 General] DeathlessOne:
It's true. The offer is till 15th, but eBay suddenly pulled it off on 9th. Dunno why. I was shocked too. Due to overwhelming response/violations eBay might have pulled it off. Or else it would have been available by now.

I am looking to buy a Z1 or Z Ultra this month.

What are the best offers, preferably from brick and mortar store.

Looking for finance, 0% (preferably with Bajaj).

Any advice?
[Xperia Z1 General] hoezay:
Here we go.

Got a call from Sony , apparently my phone has been fixed and I can go pick it up.

Was also told that it was the software update 534 that caused this yellow tint problem.

Luckily I called the service center before rushing out in excitement , THEY tell me it should come by Monday.

Not sure what Sony's customer service in India is smoking. But it seems to be a complete mess.

Will wait till Monday to decide if I believe them and what to do next.
[Xperia Z1 General] junesque:
So getting my phone replaced by Sony then for the yellow tint problem after using it for 3 weeks!
[Xperia Z1 General] 301stSpartan:
Tint isn't caused by the 534 firmware, saw no change on my end when I upgraded. Demo model was running old firmware and was yellow.
[Xperia Z1 General] hoezay:
I believe that to be the case as well. But I am left with no option but to go through Sony's customer service "processes", and this is what I've been told.

Now I have to wait till Monday to see if my phone has indeed been fixed or not.

Reading about what other people have gone through, who knows what will happen.
[Xperia Z1 General] 301stSpartan:
That's rough man. Best of luck to you :thumbup:
[Xperia Z1 General] hoezay:

what to do guys
[Xperia Z1 General] shubh_007:
I dont have a Z1. But have been following this thread from long ago. I am more interested in Z1F now. I'll buy that if it's price is comparable with nexus 5. :D
[Xperia Z1 General] guddu2011:
i doubt they will launch Z1f globally...
[Xperia Z1 General] shubh_007:
I think they'll but after sometime coz if it is launched now it'll eat the market of z1. Many people want a small and powerful device. A true mini - Z1F.
[Xperia Z1 General] Dpk1:
Guys, since yesterday my phone started acting crazy. When I picked it up to make a call, the screen refused to turn on (only backlight was on). Then I had to hard reboot (vol up + power button). Today I was using the camera & after clicking some pics I put it back in my pocket, after while I realised that my phone was hot, I mean really HOT (even with leather case on)!. When I pulled it out, found that it was stuck in the same black screen with backlight on. This is a known issue with recently released sony flagship phones (Z ultra, Z1), but for the first time I realised how annoying it could get! So, I took it to the service center & explained the issue to them. I also told them about my buggy proximity sensor issue (phone screen wouldn't turn itself on after calling). They understood at once and took it in. I expect the replacement to arrive in 4-5 days (based on my past experience with them). BTW, contrary to popular belief, I liked the slightly warmer display (which many call "yellow tint" issue) & the camera on my Z1 & would love to have same display on the new one too. Let's see how it goes!
[Xperia Z1 General] crk1995:

[Xperia Z1 General] sandeeppathak007:
My Story is a bit different here,

i bought it on 28th Sep, then submitted it in Sep 1st week, got the replacement (Sorry, missed to get the serial number) these both were the black color phones and had screen issue, then yesterday i went to the shop again , he had managed somehow to get it replaced again this time he showed me 2 piece one black BH907 and a white model BH906, and what i found was that the white phone was better .

Finally i got the BH 906 though by the numbering BH907 seems latest batch and should have less quality issues but it turned out to be a completely difference case.

Finally I have my white Z1 Serial number BH906 and looks perfect, Camera wise I am still not happy but would try to manage with it now. Hope this helps you guys...

[Xperia Z1 General] xy12344321:
My experience with Z1

Hello friends!

I have the purple version, BH905 and have not faced a single issue. :cowboy: Coming from a Samsung S2, I do think that the blacks are very bright on the Z1 screen but I like how the display is not unnatural and over saturated like the S2. Viewing angles is not a problem for me and in fact I would prefer small viewing angles so that people don't peek into my phone during commuting :p

About the camera, agreed that the auto mode needs work but do some research about various camera settings and use the manual mode till the update comes for the auto mode to be perfect. The camera is just AMAZING! Especially low light images are brilliant. :cool:

The battery is pretty good for me! Check this out -

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=46264968&postcount=146

All graphic intensive games such as Asphalt and Iron man 3 run flawlessly without overheating the phone. My phone rarely crosses the 45 C even after 1 hour of gaming.

Do point out if I have missed something.

Thanks :)
[Xperia Z1 General] guddu2011:
what about my BH904..
[Xperia Z1 General] parag1dubey:
Somebody got a reply from Sony xperia India twitter account that the yellow tint issue is because of the 534 firmware.. I suggest it is better to wait for an update and then see.
[Xperia Z1 General] japjit100:
Compare with your laptop or tv

Bh 905 have pure white screen it's available in India
[Xperia Z1 General] ImAnurag:
Compare with full brightness ON phone ?

Hey frnd just saw on your website that a new firmware for the z1 on the way..git any further update in it??
[Xperia Z1 General] ImAnurag:
yes 14.1.G.2.257 is on way and should come soon, a lot many features updated, power and performance optimized and fixes a lot many bugs.

As told by someone from internal, it is still under testing and should come ( though a higher build can also come ) soon.may by end of this upcoming week. ;)

Not a single problem at all.

[Xperia Z1 General] Ame123:
Hmm..sounds good..then ill wait for the update to come and then will see that if it does sorts out the pinch too zoom gesture as ijust want to do replacemnt now..hope it comes soon
[Xperia Z1 General] junesque:
Mine was BH-903# with the tint problem!
[Xperia Z1 General] DeathlessOne:
Buddy the yellow hue problem was reported by many. The same applies for random reboots and sod as well. So we can hope that it may be fixed with an update. But the zoom issue was reported by just few, countable people including you and me. So I doubt that it may be a software issue. I'm not urging you to replace, but just stating the fact :)
[Xperia Z1 General] junesque:
Count me in too for the zoom bug and all the other bugs,

I'm just annoyed the way sony has addressed to the Indian buyers who were the very first to buy this phone as i got it on the first day itself,

And thanks for giving the facts straight because due to info on this thread by all the people i gave my phone for the replacement :)
[Xperia Z1 General] parag1dubey:
I am still not sure whether there are any bugs in my xperia z1 batch bH904.. Confused about whether I should go for a replacement... Photos have noise and whites are not pure white... But that's it....
[Xperia Z1 General] DeathlessOne:
Ha ha not to be mentioned buddy. Yup India is one of the important markets for Sony, I guess it's third important after Europe and Japan and still they mess up. But to be honest, I must admit that Sony has grown up a lot comparing to the Ericsson partnership. I had an arc and it was terrible than this. It has been steadily moving since then. Now they are focusing more on bring latest hardware to the market and OS messes up where it wasn't the case before. One way or the other they're letting us down. But still, a proud owner of my Z1.

What problem you had by the way? Mine is under replacement. Gave it about 4 days back. Received a backup phone from them in the mean time to compensate for the delay. It's a brand new Xperia P.

---------- Post added at 06:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:47 PM ----------

My Z1 which is under replacement is a BH904 one. It's far better than other serials, but not perfect I must admit. The reason I gave it is purely for zoom problems and not for hue issues as many complain :)
[Xperia Z1 General] junesque:
I was experiencing SOD's, non responsiveness, pinch zoom bug, yellow tint, proximity sensor was defective so it randomly gave pitch black screen with backlight on which drained my battery and I didn't get any backup phone though,

So using my secondary One X for the time being will be getting a new phone by this thursday,

And I'm also a proud owner of a Z1 :cheers: to that :D
[Xperia Z1 General] parag1dubey:
I see.. I dont have any zoom issues.

Sometimes pictures don't zoom in fully.. But i think that may be a software issue. Do you think camera has lots of noise? I will go to Sony customer care and see what they have to say about it....
[Xperia Z1 General] DeathlessOne:
Cheers, I had the same issues too. Same 5 of them. You should request for a backup phone and unless you request they won't be giving you any. And another note - They won't issue a backup immediately after leaving for replacement. First your device must be approved for replacement, which takes two days and after approval, you can request. I had my arc for backup before and now I sold it for buying Z1, so I had no choice than to request them.

---------- Post added at 08:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:33 PM ----------

I don't take lots of pictures and though I can't comment on noise issues. Even if I were, it would be too hard for me to figure it out :)

Thanks for feeding me with this info :thumbup:
[Xperia Z1 General] DeathlessOne:
I'm hoping for any serial higher than BH904. 905, 906 or CB anything would do.
[Xperia Z1 General] junesque:

[Xperia Z1 General] Sean473:
..... Any more info about this? Really need the update to be here by Thursday as its the last day at which I can exchange my Z1 if its faulty :D
[Xperia Z1 General] Ame123:
Actually i dnt find any defect with my z1 other than the pinch to zoom prblm..the display is accurate and the hue prblm is there just bcoz every one is used to the more colder whites which are not accurate at all..just check out the displaymate website and check the iphones and ipads display reviews which clearly states that they are colder...and regarding the camera its a excellent camera other than lumia 1020 and u cannot expect it to match with the 1020 as it has double the megapixela and a bigger sensor + OIS
[Xperia Z1 General] ImAnurag:
sorry can't give any ETA on arrival of it.
[Xperia Z1 General] Sean473:
Can't give one or don't have one?
[Xperia Z1 General] DeathlessOne:
To be precise, don't have one. This firmware is the longest one which hasn't seen a public release yet and also was certified before weeks. Maybe Sony is testing them vigorously and choose to release it this week nor they wanna test even more and release it by next week. The options are endless. So no ETA can be given on it!
[Xperia Z1 General] ImAnurag:
Yes don't have one. As i said it is under testing now.

So no ETA , neither the person from internal know it yet...but it should come soon know....
