now they gives to use xperia p for 3 days after they 3 z1 box ? didn't understand this part ?
[Xperia Z1 General] amankapoor4:
Extremely disappointed by Sony, they just have to screw up some place. Yesterday i had a chance to play with G2 on dubai airport, what a beautiful screen it has. Z1 just pales in front of it. Ultra screen is so much better, why could they have not used the same.

Was so looking forward to buy this phone to go along with Z, now i am not touching any Sony phone till they fix all these isses. As some one pointed out, why the hell should i pay 40k and wait for getting the perfect phone.
[Xperia Z1 General] nikhil.vasda:
guys, i bought my phone 5 days back, but i got only a leather case, but i saw an advert today for z1 which states that also a 5000mah pack will be provied, how to we go about collecting the battery pack?... (indian customer)
[Xperia Z1 General] Ame123:
U dont have to go anywhere to take the battery pack..it is given with the phone itself..i think u should go and ask the people from where u bought the phone..everybody got the cover and battery pack with the phone itself
[Xperia Z1 General] japjit100:
They replaced twice but both have yellow tint problem

Xperia p is standby phone from Sony service center
[Xperia Z1 General] ImAnurag:
oh both Z1 had this issue :( Bad.

But how this stand by phone gonna help to resolve this issue, or now they will give you the third one and till then you have been given XP to use :confused:
[Xperia Z1 General] japjit100:
If third one have yellow tint screen again then i tell Sony to refund my money

I need a smart phone for use that why why's Sony gives me standby phone

Funny thing is Xperia p also have yellow tint in screen

I hate yellow screens
[Xperia Z1 General] ImAnurag:
looks like Sony love yellow creamy screens :P
[Xperia Z1 General] anmolbedi:
Your phone box must have 2 stickers on it... One for case and one for battery pack... Do check.

Else get hold of the retailer...
[Xperia Z1 General] Dpk1:
Actually yes, sony does seem to prefer warmer screen calibration than the competition. It's nothing wrong imo, just a matter of preference. I've noticed this on many sony gadgets (over past 5 years) like sony vaio, bravia led tv, Xperia S, XZ (sharp) & now Z1 (least creamy of all). The yellow hue on XS was bothersome, its nothing like that on Z1 though, it's just warmer calibration than say HTC one or iphone 5S. Samsung S4 & Note 3 screens (which I came across) are even warmer than Z1.

I think the yellow hue issue is being exaggerated way too much, when it could be easily fixed by software (or app like white balance on XZ). Sony should have kept this white balance setting on Z1 too, maybe they'll add it in future or perhaps some dev might port it. I myself don't feel a need for such setting on my Z1 but it would certainly help those with yellow hue. Some might actually have screen issues like tint on some part of screen (like bottom, left etc.), which of course is hardware issue prompting a replacement under warranty.
[Xperia Z1 General] japjit100:
Service center guys also have z1 I compare with 2 z1s

my z1 have yellow tint in screen

Now I m thinking to mail to about yellow tint on screen tell them to refund my money if you can not give me perfect z1

The colour of metal is coming out... The phone has never hit anywhere.
[Xperia Z1 General] Ame123:
Can u post some photos??
[Xperia Z1 General] shubhamnad:
See the dot on the left hand side.. Thats the area... Apologies for bad pic.
[Xperia Z1 General] Ame123:
Actually i too have the same issue at the same point..but its ok we can anytime get a replacement device within 6 months so no issues
[Xperia Z1 General] DeathlessOne:
Does that cover under replacement? Will those idiotic reps get convinced for a replacement?
[Xperia Z1 General] Dpk1:
Yes, go ahead mate! I think it's going to be tough getting your money back from sony (or any brand for that matter) here in India, but it's no use keeping a product you are not happy with.

That is worrying imo. Mine doesn't have this paint chipping, but if it did I'd be mad like hell! Build quality is the main reason why I dumped Samsung and am always hesitant to buy it. I've had pretty much satisfactory experience with sony in this regard so far. Hopefully it stays that way. BTW, how do you carry your mobile? I carry mine in front jeans pocket (with it's leather case on) & have no issues thus far (15 days).
[Xperia Z1 General] Ame123:
I dont think so but we can do some damage by ourself and then get a replacemnt ;););)
[Xperia Z1 General] goldsmit409:
Well I don't see yellow tint as such m ok

Loving this phone yeah battery Could be better but it survives a day from 100 to 10 from morning 8to night 12 q with moderte use

Today I tested it under tap water phone is absoultly fine I was scared at first

I just hope update fixes noise in camera n improve batter. Rest is great
[Xperia Z1 General] DeathlessOne:
If Sony were following this thread and specifically if they were looking at this particular post, what will happen to ADP? :P

Simple - " We regret to inform that ADP scheme has been suspended due to some unavoidable circumstances" If we yell at them or complain them, they will simply point us to this thread/ post and we will be stumped. Anyways, it's just my stupid thought. :)
[Xperia Z1 General] shubhamnad:
Will wait atleast a month and den go for replacement
[Xperia Z1 General] Ph3rOn!xX:
As it covers accidental warranty. .. tak a hammer n hit it on the camera side...

If they ask then say dat a rick or a car went over it... as simple ull get a new phone :P
[Xperia Z1 General] ImAnurag:
99.99% chances are there, their technicians will comes to know that it's intentionally hit hammer case and your phone will not be returned. Sony have rights not to tell you the reason of not returning the product in accidental warranty, their customer care said that.

It would be better if you drop it from the roof of your house, that looks like an accident, i did the same with my Dell Laptop, it got replaced....don't hit anything they will come to know.
[Xperia Z1 General] nishant786:
I don't know if you guys are morons or just a little too over confident, but please stop discussing insurance fraud in this forum. As stated earlier not only will it lead to withdrawal of such schemes but may also lead to prosecution of you geniuses.
[Xperia Z1 General] crk1995:
If Sony will not allow unlocking of the bootloader, will it be possible for developers to figure out ways to unlock it.?

And has there been a device ever from sony whose bootloader cannot be unlocked? Or every phone can be unlocked.
[Xperia Z1 General] nishant786:
Sony I think has allowed bootloader unlocking. It's just a little buggy ATM. And no every device can be unlocked. Soon or late depends on the interest of people in it.
[Xperia Z1 General] MightyBear007:
i unlocked it and restored my TA
[Xperia Z1 General] hoezay:
Yes ! Seriously please don't screw things up for legit customers. (Even so i'm pretty sure Sony has thought about people doing stupid **** like this.)

[Xperia Z1 General] sandeeppathak007:
Submitted my Z1 today as Service center in Jayanagar Bangalore due to camera problem, they agreed on giving a new one as replacement.

[Xperia Z1 General] shubhamnad:
What was the problem faced by you..?
[Xperia Z1 General] sandeeppathak007:
Blur pics when taken and zooming in even at 1 zoom level with a lot of noise.
[Xperia Z1 General] shubhamnad:
Ok..

Hey guys I just dropped my phone and got few minor dents on the aluminium edges,

Will ADP cover that?

I hope so. Better consult with them!
[Xperia Z1 General] crk1995:
I have some battery related issue with my unit.

I was playing Modern Combat 4 while simultaneously charging the devices.

Instead of battery being increased it was going down.

also a got a pop up saying something related to charger which i instantly skipped as i was playing.

anyone else facing the same issue??

Also the charging ports cover is not completely fitting to create a fully waterproof phone? anyone else with same problem?

And i have yellow hue on my device which i didnt found on one of the demo unit in a CHROMA store.
[Xperia Z1 General] japjit100:

how many people got pure white screen

if all you got yellow screen then fight with sony for refund
[Xperia Z1 General] junesque:
Never ever play games with the charger plugged in, it will dramatically damage your battery!
[Xperia Z1 General] Dpk1:
Pure white screen (referring to noon sunlight) is said to be around ~ 6500K (colour temperature) which would appear slightly yellowish or warmer to most people (as they are used to predominantly colder screens out there). So, even that might appear yellow tint to your eye although being highly accurate wrt colour reproduction. So, asking for how many have yellow tint (or pure white) would be highly subjective.

Btw, most Z1 screens I've seen so far have near neutral (or warmer whites), few genuinely yellow tinted and few cold (bluish / purplish) ones. If you find most of these screens yellow to your liking, it just might be that you are used to colder / bluish whites. So the colder Z1 screen might suit you, like the one on right in the photo attached below (clicked with a mobile camera in hurry so white balance is off but you'll have an idea).
[Xperia Z1 General] japjit100:
Right one is demo

All demo have white screen you also have yellow tint in screen

Compare with any laptop or tv
[Xperia Z1 General] Dpk1:
As said earlier what most screens show is not necessarily true white, so no point in comparing to any laptop or tv screens, except to ones with white point set at 6500K (6000K-7000K). The thing is it's all subjective. I find my screen having no yellow tint (slightly warmer yes) but the other one having a blue tint (like previous amoleds), which I don't like. And no, all demo units don't have blue tint (or white screen as you say), most of them are warmer like mine. Only a few are colder. Maybe you might get the screen you like next time ;).
[Xperia Z1 General] DeathlessOne:
Who said so all the demo units are white? The demo unit I saw was one of the warmer ones I have ever seen in any Z1. Mine was far more whiter than the demo one but fell short when compared to Z Ultra coz it was even whiter than my Z.

Note: Guys have you checked that does the device overheating (playing processor hungry games) causes the back-light to become warmer after extended periods of usage like it was with many other devices? Just a doubt btw!!

Mine has the pinch to zoom issue, never zooms properly on chrome or album whatsoever. I am just holding myself that it's a s/w issue like it was with my arc, let's hope the same.

Hello people! Bought my Z1 couple of days back. Been reading about the yellow tint but can't see any on my device! One Q I had is in one of the Xperia apps there is mention of getting a QX 10 free from an authorized dealer. Anyone know anything about it? Thanks
[Xperia Z1 General] shubhamnad:
You got it wrong, there is a free attachment case with the purchase of z1 n QX10
[Xperia Z1 General] ImAnurag:
Yes xperia prviliege app has this offer sometime ago...

You get it free on showing the offer in the app and purchase invoice from sony center...

Getting 10 day used xperia z1 For 29k.

Its a great price go for it.

Thanks!

Will check It out.
[Xperia Z1 General] ImAnurag:
hey what's the brightness level on both phones ?
[Xperia Z1 General] DeathlessOne:
Sent my Z1 for replacement today. I was told that if Z1 was bought a week back or within a week, they will replace the entire kit (box). As mine's 2 weeks old, I'll get the device only it seems. They've quoted me a max of 3-5 days. They told me that I'll also get a backup phone after 2 days.

Do you know what? When I gave the device, the issues I mentioned were the zoom and yellow hue issue. The rep didn't agree with the hue issue as expected although he agreed with the zoom issue. But after he started using the device, two additional issues were found. SoD and random reboot. My Z1 started rebooting randomly. Phew, I gave it at last. The problem sheet of my Z1 has four issues in total now.
[Xperia Z1 General] ImAnurag:
4 issues :eek: Oh...

I have got my XZ1 back from replacement, a new sealed pack box as it was less than 7 days old only. New one is perfect, will post pics soon...starts with serial number BH906****
[Xperia Z1 General] DeathlessOne:
Grrr.. Stomach burning :)

Congrats buddy. Post the pics soon and also, warn fellow Z1 users of the zoom issue by posting it in your website if possible. I have the video too.
[Xperia Z1 General] ImAnurag:

seeing it and will let you know....

A new firmware is about to come 2.257 for Z1 soon...this week or by probably next week...hope it fixes some issues..
[Xperia Z1 General] DeathlessOne:
Let's hope so. Z1 has some mysterious and infamous bugs which has been experienced only by some as of now. The example is the one I've mentioned above.
[Xperia Z1 General] ImAnurag:
sony is famous with bugging it's flagship devices :P Lol take it XS, XZ, XZU, XZ1 :P
[Xperia Z1 General] DeathlessOne:
The bugged one of Sony for the extreme bug of you :P
[Xperia Z1 General] Dpk1:
Both were at maximum brightness with adapt to light & x reality off, optimised backlight on.
[Xperia Z1 General] pshdo:
Also remember the oldder flagship models like S/E Xperia X10, that was also bugged...

And pleace don´t forget the rest of the phones, it is not just the flagship phones WHO has bugged firmware.
[Xperia Z1 General] Dpk1:
Good to know that they've decided to give you a replacement :good:! But after seeing your video about pinch to zoom issue I'm a bit confused. I can clearly see the stuttering but what I couldn't obviously see was that whether or not there was any time gap between your pinch gesture & the screen response. I too have experienced a random reboot once & black screen issue thrice for which I have to hard reboot. I don't know if this is a hardware issue or software bug (I guess it's latter), but don't want to send it for replacement as yet (coz screen & camera are perfect for me). Anyway, thanks for the video.
[Xperia Z1 General] MightyBear007:
Guys have you guys got any custom ROM working on your Z1's
[Xperia Z1 General] japjit100:

Yeah, there is one. Have a look here. Haven't tried myself yet as I'm happy with stock for now. More development shall hopefully kick in sooner.

[Xperia Z1 General] predator21:
thnx bro
[Xperia Z1 General] DeathlessOne:
Yes mate, it responded awfully too. A little bit to be precise. First of all, I sent it to replacement only for the zoom issue. When I got there, I thought to tell them about the hue issue as well, though it's not of a problem to me. As expected, the rep didn't agree with me. Also he asked me a question, if you give you a replacement for this issue how can you be so sure that the replaced device also doesn't have this hue?. :) Crazy fellows.

Worst sony after sales support in india

I also had very bad experience with sony india from last 2 years

Bought Xperia S last year due to worst after sales support sold it and bought another phone from local importer with out any sony india warranty for very less price Very happy with that fone. I will never buy a sony product from sony india from now on wards..

Jus thought of trying once again and giving a chance. bought XPeria Z1 in india. Used for 10 days, found lots of internal issues software. and display issues. given the fone to sony authorised service centre on 1st Oct, still now no word of dispatching the device.

If you are planning to buy a sony phone in india think 100 times.
[Xperia Z1 General] ruchirtrehan:
Purchased z1 from flipkart, display yes ofc, got the faulty one, replaced it 7 times so far xD finally the 8th replacement which I got was the original and perfect z1 which I was waiting for. Display is amazing htc one, s4, lg g2 have been thrashed in terms of display compared to z1 (head-head) viewing angles are good (I am no monster who completely tilts the phone and uses it) but don't compare to htc one or s4 but a definite improvement over z and now it's not gona be awkward anymore to show pics and videos to friends or watching videos on bed and gaming or also using phone when kept on table. ;D

[Xperia Z1 General] cenasecoisas:
Do you know which were the serial number (the initial numbers) of the faulty phones? and the current one?

Just to try to understand if it is a batch problem or a random one.

Thanks!
[Xperia Z1 General] hoezay:
7 times ! Damn.

My Z1 (with the yellow hue screen ) is now with Sony's Service Center in Andheri. Let's see what happens.
[Xperia Z1 General] nishant786:
Could you please post some pictures of the screen taken in darkness? Like one with one of the default wallpapers and one with white screen (like settings screen). Please? Since you are so satisfied it will really help. Also the serial number will help.
[Xperia Z1 General] crk1995:

No service center in delhi is accepting to replace my device.

I have mentioned 2-3 issues including yellow hue.

How to convince them..
[Xperia Z1 General] DeathlessOne:
What are the other two issues?
[Xperia Z1 General] crk1995:
My charging port's cover is not fitting as perfectly as other covers are.

And also i got my display to go blank, with touch working , on the first day of my purchase.

I wish to get it replaced as the covering doesnt look completely waterproof.
[Xperia Z1 General] DeathlessOne:
All your issues have the rights to avail a replacement! What? They refuse to replace even though knowing that the cover is not stable? Pretty insane. Do this tomorrow: Go to the center, throw the device in their face and claim Accidental Damage Protection for the cover issue. You can also tell them about Sleep of Death issue too. Tell them that it happens randomly and can't be demoed to you at all times. It's time we consumers show these useless and unworthy reps who we actually are and the rights we deserve!
[Xperia Z1 General] Ame123:
Actually if its not waterproof dump it into the water and test if the water goes in and something happens u can use your accidental damage insuranse and get ut reolaced

[Xperia Z1 General] shubhamnad:
Is there any apk available for that...?.. I m unrooted and having locked bootloader.
[Xperia Z1 General] 301stSpartan:
On the charging issue it's simply because the phone is using more battery than the charger provides. Not much you can do here other then get a charger that supports Quick Charge 1 at more than the 1.5A the Xperia charger puts out (QC1 should support up to 2.5 I think) or wait until Quick Charge 2 chargers come out next year

QX10 anyone?

Has anyone bought the QX10? any quick thoughts on it??

Also, from what I understand, Z1 has screen protector on front and back,, so if I want to put another screen protector; say the Matte finish type.. should I remove the existing one??
[Xperia Z1 General] DeathlessOne:
What the Z1 already has isn't a screen protector on front and back. It's known by the name ASF (Anti Shatter Film). It protects your glass from shattering into pieces when it breaks or receives an impact. So it's advised not to remove it unless you don't like it. Also the ASF doubles up as the Sony logo. The minute you peel it off, the Sony logo in the front will go with the protector to. They haven't etched the logo in the glass. SO you should be applying only on top of ASF. Even though Matt has great advantage over fingerprints, it renders the display grainy.
