How long can you browse on 3G at 40 degrees ?

How long can you use the camera, still photos and take 720p video (any difference with/without stabilisation enabled)?
[Xperia Z2 General] :
bro i asked about noise cancelling headset in sony centers... they said that they have no idea about release date...
[Xperia Z2 General] sierrarohan:
I don't know about 3G as I have Wi-Fi at my home, but my handset doesn't get hot when browsing via Wi-Fi. It stays around 39-41 Degrees C all the time! And I do browsing a lot!!

Regarding Photos, Camera generallty captures about 50-70 photos in hot outside conditions (AR Effect+Superior Auto) before shutting down! But the shutdown time is very low and temperature drops quickly from 48 to 42-41 in couple of minutes, keeping the screen off!

As far as Video goes, I didn't face any shutdowns yet although I have recorded timeshift videos in short bursts, each video length is about 5 min. Stabilisation doesnt make any difference in the temp. and I prefer to keep it off because of narrower FoV. Camera only gets hot if outside temperature is high. When I shot videos and photos in Rain, there were 0 shutdowns no matter how long I kept snapping images or recorded videos.

Will get back to u with more info on MDR-NC31EM by tomorrow
[Xperia Z2 General] One Twelve:
Sounds like what Dpk said. Acceptable. If it shut down after 10 photos then there is a problem.

Played with Z2 in Croma, they did not have a demo just a retail unit that someone dropped so the screen had these translucent white bands. They said they'd get a replacement within a week. The Z1's screen nearby looked absolutely gorgeous in comparison :laugh:

Stabilisation : ON

Ran the 4k video record and it stopped after two and a half minutes. The phone was warm but not hot, comfortable. Saved to internal storage. Don't know if saving to micro-sd makes a difference or not. 4k video of 2:30 duration ~1GB.

Then i tried a 1080p video and it was fine for 10 minutes, another 1GB file and then got bored and stopped it, ambient temperature must have been 25 in the shop, its fairly cool today in Bangalore. I would not say the Z2 got hot, just warm. Checked out other things on the phone and tried a 4k for the second time, again around 2:30 it shut down. Same thing, warm. So after around 5 minutes it was ready for another 4k video.

i recall trying 1080 video record on the s4 exynos when it launched and after only a few minutes it DID get hot. Z2 is no where as bad as S4 was at launch.

heh, this is what Z's & S5 can do over the others.

- available in Bangalore

- went to the airtel shop and they had an iphone 5c on demo with 4G. Ran a speedtest using http://speedof.me a couple of times and got a speed of 17-19Mbs DN and 6-7Mbs UP. 5 bar signal. No 10Mbs cap on 4G in evidence. 4G is this fast because not many are on it yet.

- then i told them to switch off LTE to test out 3G. This was around 7pm so busy time. 3G only got 4 bars for some reason but after a couple of tests got 2-3Mbs DN and 70-90kbs (yes, kbs!) UP, really lousy. Upload speed is important as no matter how fast download is, the other side is waiting for ACKs before sending more. A crippled upload can slow down download.

Then tried a youtube clip in HD, no chance, only SD. the YT app on the 5c complained it could not change quality. They did not have a G2 so could not try with android. Same thing with safari browser as well. Cost of 4g is the same as 3G. 4G can also handle congestion better than 3G so less drop in performance, Course this depends on decent signal reception.

- True, there are reports that reliance jio & airtel have leased towers but no confirmation on when it will be available pan India, maybe this Diwali.

Difficult, i think i'll try 3G with other devices and then decide whether to wait it out or not. We could have had 4G earlier but spectrum acquistion got all bunged up after the 2g tamasha. Other devices do not have it as there was no certainty about frequency bands when they were made. Apple got the scoop before others somehow. Airtel wanted Rs.51.5k for a 4G capable 16GB iphone 5s. No contract.

Hey guys, just got my xperia z2 yesterday and my phn has very slight gaps, exactly like in the pics of phonearenas review if anybody saw them, thats not a big deal I guess but another problem is my camera is off center? Will that affect the camera performance? Should I return my z2 for a replacement? And also phn gets hot when using normal apps like chrome and my batch no is 14w18, is that common in z2 or my phn is overheating? Z2 onwers (specially 14w18 owners) please share u suggestions and thoughts.
[Xperia Z2 General] sharingspider:
Pretty Common with w18. Since u got now u shud have got latest lot which looks like u didnt which dont have any error at all i.e. W20. Also with Camera off centre does affect performance. I have no issues of heating after latest 402 update at all.
[Xperia Z2 General] kannanX10:
dont worry abt gaps and off center camera which are normal and it doesn't affect water proofing and performance respectively by any means.........reg heating its normal that every device heats on initial usage and will settle down gradually ----do flash .402 fw and check for heating

if anything goes wrong u have 7 days for replacement meanwhile u cant claim replacement for off center camera unless it affects its imaging capabilities
[Xperia Z2 General] Abhi Dahiya:
Gaps - No issue(but you can try exchange IF "you don't like those gaps")

Off centre camera - No issue at all !

Heating - That's pretty common! Almost every flagship gets hot, especially during these summer days. Install the latest update. That should solve heating upto a big extent.

As for production week, don't care about that. Issues are random in nature. Nothing to do with production week. A big misconception among people it is.

What do you have to say about its sound quality
[Xperia Z2 General] One Twelve:
True but what do you do if you need a little extra boost from the handset earspeaker without bluetooth ? when you want extra intelligibility over quality. From the ear speaker not the loudspeaker.

Won't always be taking & making calls in quiet rooms. Was chatting with someone and one of the things that put him off with Z2 was he struggled to hear the recorded message from the call center on the other end in a shop.

Also wanted to know is whether there is anyway to test the volume of the handset earpiece without a sim card. Rather critical test i would think for any device that calls itself a phone.

Anyone know how to do this on a demo model ?
[Xperia Z2 General] KyleSforza:
" he struggled to hear the recorded message from the call center on the other end in a shop." What? o.O

Err dude, HD voice. A great phone would cut down the background noise so your caller can hear you and you only, not the recorded call center message or tring tring of a ice cream vendor in the background.
[Xperia Z2 General] One Twelve:
Borrow a Z2, call up the helpline of whichever cellular network that Z2 is registered with. Listen to the recorded voice greet you and announce options. He had trouble hearing that recorded voice in a shop with people talking.

The is when you transmit to the other side. Reviews tend to be good about this. I'm talking about hearing the other size on the earpiece of the Z2.

If its too soft on max volume (ambient noise is noisy) then what does one do ? without resorting to earphones, speaker phone or bluetooth headset.

Is there a way to boost the volume somehow is the additional question.

Nice one, came in handy.

You can watch a full game for free provided it has concluded, no live games unless you pay Rs.120 (for the entire tournament). Find this app is rather intrusive in knowing a lot of things and the people you interact with. 15s ads every 7 minutes. They say its HD but it seems somewhere in between Sd & HD.

Best part ? allows you to pause when you want and then resume. Good enough to watch if you have 1-2Mbs download speed.

Can catch up with any game after its played, so time difference isn't a hassle, only hassle is avoid finding out the score for other sources.

I paid 120 and watching the match as it happens. Quite a good deal for the price though. Additionally if you have TataSky then you can subscribe to everywhere TV which generally costs 60 a month.

No tata sky, just cable which is cheaper. Thing is its on the blink and getting it fixed won't happen till monday if i'm lucky. So this app is my only hope to watch any matches until its fixed. Wish they would not display the scores so prominently. I've had to put a tape on the tab so i don't see the score before the match, kinda kills the suspense otherwise.

How do you deal with this app wanting to know all your contacts etc. isn't everybody on your list going to get fed into a spam machine ?
[Xperia Z2 General] sharingspider:
Mine doesn't behave that way either however sometimes behaves really weird and various thing open up on the phone. This never happened with my Note 3, Nexus 5 or for that matter with any other device, so I would say for sure sensor is not that great or faulty. I have bought phone 10 days back and there is no protector or anything on the screen as well.
[Xperia Z2 General] badelemental:
Well I am not using the App. I use the webpage on my laptop. And yeah they do ask for login from FB but I have disabled (skip permission) while registering. I think there's also a option for creating an account without linking any social media.

As per the goal notification, if you subscribe for the FIFA World Cup then the streaming will be live (i.e. no delay). Initially I tried the free one but the delay killed all the excitement so subscribed the pack. BTW 120 is really good price (think of it as one Biryani for dinner/lunch LOL) :D

[Xperia Z2 General] Dpk1:
I had Xperia S too and a few other sony smartphones (ZL / Z / Z1) in the past. Out of all these I only had call quality issues with the XS. No call issues whatsoever with my Z2 either, sound via earpiece is loud and clear (both in noisy & quiet environment). If your are bothered by low call audio volume on the XS (which I've experienced) then I can assure you it's like night and day comparing XS with Z2. A few people here do have some issues with in call audio quality but that can be due to several factors like network congestion, software glitch, faulty unit etc. Best would be to test a demo Z2 unit yourself by placing your sim in it and trying a call or two.

I don't think sony will provide the nc headphones with Z2 here, but they might come up with some offers / discounts later on via xperia lounge or something.
