This is why I'll never buy an LG phone:

Samsung is similar to the above. Therefore, for me, the only competition the Z1 had was the Z Ultra - The latter narrowly missed out because I need to use it as a phone and not as a phablet.

Sorry, here's another one: http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...e-held-back-by-some-pretty-not-good-software/

And no, I'm not 'listening' to that website - Try as I may, I simply cannot tolerate the horriblely designed LG UI. At least with Samsung the bootloaders aren't encrypted and there's a decent selection of ROMs.

Is that so strange? It's been a feature present in many phones with proximity / light sensors (not necessarily with stock ROMs). My Xiaomi Mi-2s does that if configured to, for instance.
[Xperia Z1 General] ILikeTheWayYouMove2:
Proper to the Samsung sheep!
[Xperia Z1 General] ruchirtrehan:
Let me clear your cons

1st - Unlocking the bootloader, yes it does throw away all those features, but you can always have a back of TA partition and use them again and to flash many ROMS except CM or AOSP you don't need to unlock bootloader.

2nd - Screen is bad? Have you even seen the screen in your hands? Don't go on some idiot Sony haters giving some crap reviews see it yourself and then trust, yeah that's true few of the z1's have screen issue but that's just a retail-product which you got and surely can get a replacement. It's a pretty much amazing screen I can bet 200$ and say it's better than htc one and s4, viewing angles might not be perfect, but are you a alien who has to tilt his phone and use it? I am sure you'll say in todays date you keep your phone at table and then use it or keep it on bed and watch movies and stuff bla bla, so let me tell you viewing angles are still great using it that way, I have owned an s4 previously and while texting in a bus (really private message) people sitting next to me could easily read it and it was so embarrassing there's something known as privacy even using a mobile.

3rd - warranty wont be void on removing the shatter-proof screen and there's some technical knowledge on why they have did it you'll never understand, also Sony logo wont be gone, you can get a original screen which has the Sony logo on it, and I don't think the shatter-proof screen is gona be scratched of so easily as my friend has tested it a bit at minimal measurements and doesn't gives any problem.

4th - Sony uses something really better than gorilla and many of the gorilla glasses have been Fuc**d up while testing, go find some vids on youtube.

5th - Z2 rumors? sure they're just rumors and if it's even true there wont be much difference except a bigger screen 5"2-5"7 size screen will be given and 3 GB of RAM (2 GB is hell enough, RAM wont speed up your device) and maybe they also include android 4.4 which is nowhere a thought as this device is definitely gona get it in a while, and even 5.0 will be on z1

Last of all, don't think I am some sony fan or something, I do like Samsung and HTC too, but they're not just my taste, samsung gives some useless features in s4 like smart pause/play, smart scroll and bla bla which works 2 times out of 100, really a waste. also I don't own this phone and my friend does and i've seen every aspect of this phone and it's definitely one of the best screen is undoubtedly awesome, only if you're so mad to use your phone in different angles/positions. Also to mention in past 1 year Sony has the best customer service.
[Xperia Z1 General] akuma2012:
Plastic? Not on my Note 2. A 5 quid metalic battery cover changed that. Thats because samsung gives me a choice ie hyperglaze or custom, unlike $ony. Also allows me to put an even bigger battery in...waterproofing? Im sure theres a case for that. Not that im that way inclined to use my device while taking a shower.

Have fun with your flaps mr $ony, and your integrated battery which will degrade in time.;) Oh, and when $ony forgets to update your z1 anymore after 6 months dont say I didnt point you in the direction of a Note 3.
[Xperia Z1 General] natkaen:
the IGZO display aren't that great anyway. the viewing angle aren't perfect, when you tilt the screen the color shift and for the low power consumption screen, i think it isn't helping much since my battery still drain pretty quick. the colors weren't as good as htc one. i've used the docomo sharp zeta 3 (sh-06e). switch to zeta 3 from htc one and only used zeta 3 for 2 days then sold it and went back to htc one. so much for that IGZO LOL. now i'm waiting for my z1 :good:
[Xperia Z1 General] Sitti01:
LOL, why do you care so much who is getting what :eek:. It's not your money. My money goes to Sony :highfive: In my experiences, I never had good time with samsung products. But I don't go to samsung forum and talk trash about their products and owners. I wonder why you even bother to post messages here. Feel uncomfortable people buying Sony's phone or something?:confused:

[Xperia Z1 General] gtrab:
Nice to hear you are happy with a metalic aftermarket cover and a waterproofing case. I'm not. And you can't force me to your preferences.

I prefer a slim, waterproof phone, I hate cases. Cases are not fine by me. My oppinion. My preferences. I hate the cartoonish, unreal colours too, but that's me, it could be fine for you and for 90% of the world and I still wouldn't buy it because I am who I am and I prefer true-to-life colours on my screen. Fortunately enough this is not Cuba. You can't force me to prefer the same things you do.

And I don't care about the flaps, been using them on the Xperia S and Xperia Z, no complaints as long as I can wash the phone :rolleyes:

Regarding battery, I change phones every 6 months, so I don't care if the battery will degrdde in a couple of years.

Regarding updates, you might be either missinformed or trolling or just lying, but your sentence "...Sony forgets to update your z1 anymore after 6 months" is not true, it's a lie. Eg, My Xperia S is still being updated. In one year I've went from Gingerbread to Ice Cream Sandwich to JellyBean. I will pick to say you are misinformed and not blatantly lying.

PS: My purple Z is a chick magnet, a conversation starter. It's nice to see my iPhone and Sammy friend's faces when I drop it from one foot over the table and then submerge into my glass of beer =) ...and that's just the fun part. In the real workd it's very practical to use the phone under the rain, to lend it along to the kids and neverminding if they will drop it or not, to take photos in the swimming pool, and -most importantly- to keep it clean: to wash it.

Conclusion: enjoy your Note 2 with metalic battery cover and let me enjoy my waterproof, colour-accurate screen, slim no-need-for-a-case phone.

so let me get this right - you bought a premium product and right out of the box you had to change the body of the device because of what ? you didn't like the stitching round the edges lol, if someone asked me what would I change about the Z1 build - I'd be at a complete loss for an answer

Oh and remember which thread you're posting on here........perhaps it's time to move on
[Xperia Z1 General] Apoxx:
Returned mine and getting a Lumia 1020. Camera and battery is my main priority when it comes to phones, but I kinda like android, so Z1 seemed like a good choice, but it is in my opinion an unfinished product, which should not have been released yet.

So I will give windows phone a shot, even though I will probably hate it. Atleast I will have the best cellphonecamera out there.
[Xperia Z1 General] matheus_sc:
I prefer a bad camera than Windows Phone kkk
[Xperia Z1 General] bucho2004:
Windows phones are not bad, but would not give up my z1 for one.

would definitely pick a 925 as a second phone, but would have to deal with a fuming raging wife, so not worth it.
[Xperia Z1 General] Morlock O:
You will regret it once you see your friends\co-workers are using a new social\gaming app from android or ios and windows phone does not have it... not even an amazing camera will make up for it...
[Xperia Z1 General] Geoffxx:
IMO there is very little difference between the Lumina 1020 and the Z1 camera, I'm on 534 FW - they are both great cameras
[Xperia Z1 General] Apoxx:
I don't game at my phone at all, I usually just take pictures, surf, call and text.

But yeah I am a little bit worried about WP, but I will give it a go. Z1 was just a huge disappointment so far, but I am positive that with decent firmware upgrades it's gonna be the great phone Sony intended it to be, I just don't have the time to wait around for it to happen, and I'd rather just return it within the return window.
[Xperia Z1 General] jos_031:
Then you should get nokia 808. camera is better. so is battery..
[Xperia Z1 General] Apoxx:
Nah, the lumia 1020 is already on it's way, better battery, equal camera, nicer design, bigger screen. The choice is made, and I won't bother you guys in here any more since this is a Z1 forum.

Z1 will be awesome, it just isn't quite yet :)
[Xperia Z1 General] jos_031:
808 sensor != 1020 sensor

For some reason, the sound on my Magician has muted itself. Whenever I click the icon in the tray in Wisbar Advance, and set both sliders to max, as soon as I click off the volume controls, then click them again, the left slider goes back down to zero. Is there a mute control somewhere that I've accidentally checked?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] imapfsr:

It may be silly, but try going to your phone settings and see if you are in vibrate mode! :D

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Xadaa:
Ok guys, I had this problem a while ago

And I had to do a hardreset to get everything back on track

But it happen to me again, but NOW I foundout why

Have you guys DL the new BT stack? from what I see, you guys had the same problem as mine before. And its the new BT stack acting up

Goto the BT stack seting, look at the very end tabs, there will be an option to "mute" your phone, go there and uncheck it. And you will be as good as new.

Somehow, the new BT stack check that setion for you with no warning

So go try that, and let us know whatsup, if its not the BT stack, which it sound too alike from my last problem, where the bar will stuck at 0 even you change it. Than I guess you can disregard what I said here

let me know 8)

Sorry for my ignorance but how do I access the Bluetooth stack?

I just bought an i-Mate Jam and it seems to send and recieve calls but the ear speaker doesn't seem to work. On speakerphone it works but not off speakerphone.

Do I need some other type of software to access the Bluetooth stack?

Thanks for any help/advice you can give me.

The problem is really the BTStack, I just tried to install it again, and yep my sound is gone.Nowhere can I find BT settings, tried the registry, no luck, BUT lucky for me I had made an export from my hole registry before. Set it back and sound is back.

Still I'd like to know more about this issue ;-)

No BT mute setting

Hello Folks

Be a little more specific.

If I go into settings/bluetooth/ I have 3 tabs:

Mode-Device-COM ports

None of them have a 'mute' setting.

I searched the registry for mute...none.

I do have problem with my sound still.

I can phone, but beside that, there is no sound.

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Jed D`Lagged:
Just thought I'd bump this thread to say I had exactly the same problem, and could only resolve it by restoring from my weekly auto backup.

I have the aforementioned bluetooth stack installed, but I've had it installed for ages now. Automute was not checked. Checking and unchecking automute did not fix the problem.

Originally, the sound volume slider was moveable, but it would always return to the lowest setting whenever I clicked out of the volume box. I used the Bluesoeil switcher to change to the Microsoft stack, but this didn't fix the issue. Neither did switching the stack back.

It did change the fact that I was able to move the volume slider and not have it return back to the lowest setting immediately after changing. Despite this, sound still did not play, except via bluetooth.

Backing up and hard resetting fixes the issue. Last weeks backup is fine.

I can honestly say I didn't change anything. I woke up this morning and it was like that. Sound was working fine the night before.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Echilon:
I think pocketplus was the cause for me.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Jed D`Lagged:
Just like to post here again and say that five minutes after I posted this, sound stopped working again. This is after I restored last weeks backup.

After many hours of testing, I figured it had something to do with maybe the time (some program had been set to mute the device permanently on and after yesterdays date), activesync was broken and would (randomly) mute the device permanently when it did a sync, or that the USB ports on my machine were tripping some circut which cut off all sound. By all sound, I mean the phone component as well. I couldn't hear the person on the other end of the phone, and they couldn't hear me.

What made me think that it was the USB ports was that sometimes, hard resetting the device would not fix the problem. Several hard resets in a row would not cause the sound to return. I would have to leave the device for about five minutes, and then come back and hard reset it. Only then would I get sound back.

Problem is, last night at a party, I had to hard reset the device and restore last weeks backup (for the fiftyth time, yes I'm the life of the party lol), and I got home and didn't even plug the device in.

When I woke up this morning, the sound had gone again, without it even being plugged into my machine. I didn't even make a call or use my phone at all after I restored this backup.

I'm going insane. I hate problems without error messages, espically ones as ambiguous as this one.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Jed D`Lagged:
Just did a hard reset, no restore, didn't change any of the settings, didn't even plug it into my desktop and within an hour, the sound had stopped working.

I'm starting to think my problem is a hardware issue.

Jeezuz Kerist. Why can't it just not work after a hard reset like a normal hardware problem? I lost my whole Saturday to this stupid thing. Die die die.

Hello all

i experienced this poblem (the Magician mute itself) a few days ago

it is really due to theme instalation which by defualt have a choice of turn on vibrate mode.

Problem Solved

Two days ago i got this "sound muted" problem. Tried everything, hard boot and reinstalation, and nothing helped...

The solution was to easy: picked up a paper clip and put into de 2.5'' earphone jack. Looks like it was locked, like the earplug was present! The paper clip unlocked and now i'm back to life again... :D
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] excogitation:
darned.... if I only found this post 3 hours ago... now I alread flashed it twice (O2 original, T-Mobile 1.13, extended rom)...

Ok so here's what I found out.

There seem to be to different kind of mute problems.

1. automute - this seems to be related to the bchs bluetooth drivers (BCHS_FOR_POCKET_PC_OZONE.ARMV4.CAB)

as I figure this problem can only occur when you have some audio device connected via bluetooth

2. so if the first isn't your problem - there's probably something wrong with your bluetooth installation.

I had this problem when fiddling around with

BCHS - BlueSoleil - Toshiba

bluetooth stacks.

Uninstalling all bluetooth stacks and reinstalling the BCHS+BlueSoleil solved it. (I think I tried all possible orders for doing so

Thread for BlueSoleil

Thread for BCHS

Toshiba bluetooth

So now that ActiveSync finally works - that's why I had all those problems in the first place... I have to get my BIGstorage on - !again! and... reinstall all apps that were in Storage... because they're not included in freakin' AS backup...
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] engmazen:
hi all

actually i followed this solution and it was successful with me

so, am now keeping a clip in my wallet if the problem comes again. but am not sure if the phone will continue working with both earphone and the normal speaker or not but lets hope this but at least its working now

thanks duasoteb

Appereantly, its the common problem. My imate doesnt deliver the other side's voice on the phone conversation but it works on handsfree or when I plug earphone.

Paper clips issue didint work on mine.

Any further suggestion?

Baris
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] barisg:
As I got no further comment, I took the device to service, in Turkey, and its repaired. Service guy told me that that audio device that send the voice to the phone speaker receiver was broken so he fixed it. People should understand that the clips may not be a solution for everybody.

On the other hand these imate devices are more then neccessary fragile...HTC may try to rugged them more.

Mine lost the voice when it dropped while it was in leather case, I dont want to think what would happen while it would not be in case..
