Bro at night I don't always use my laptop so mobile screen is all I need before going to bed. I agree that no one will look at phone at that angle but I pointed that out because I feel IPS display on other phones are a bit better at viewing angles.

As a Android developer and designer I want everything to be perfect (maybe a personal obsession) and I think Sony needs to improve on display. Z2 is a good start but not really there yet.

Anyways it's just a personal opinion and might differ with person. I just wanted to know what everyone is feeling about the viewing angles.

---------- Post added at 10:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:08 AM ----------

I am not using it either. I feel if they combined health and smart watch feature then everyone will have any interest in wearable. Anyways I am waiting for G Watch or Moto 360 powered by Android Wear.

---------- Post added at 10:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:10 AM ----------

I agree with you. AMOLED are better at viewing angle as they dont use any backlight for display. The pixels themselves emit light so each pixel can be controlled and turned off if needed hence you can see the deepest black.

I am basically a Samsung hater (became one after using S1,S3, S4) but I like Super AMOLED displays. Now they even let you to adjust display so that it won't produce over saturated color. Imagine a Z2 with OLED screen ... that would be heaven for me :D

Ofcourse it has portrait keyboard. Android is open ... infact so open that you can change anything if you don't like stock offering. Search in Play Store and there are lot of Apps for your specific need. IMO best keyboard is SwiftKey.

Ranjit gets the handset from some store named Faizal Communications which charges him lesser than market rate.

but i think you should get lesser rate if you try getting it from the dealer itself..

[Xperia Z2 General] KyleSforza:
Why use it then? o.O Stock charger is 1500 mA btw. That's 1.5 amps.

Any ideas in time? How much time it takes to fully charge the battery?
[Xperia Z2 General] kartoonz:
did you not test the earpiece before buying?? can you try this step.. i tried it on my htc one x because it has low volumes during calls... take a dry tooth brush and rub it on the earpiece few times.. btw that customer service is disgusting... anyone else facing a similar problem....
[Xperia Z2 General] unmaskedfalesh:
I was afraid about same thing ..the first thing i did was to check the in call volume and it is tad loud i say..perfectly clear

[Xperia Z2 General] badelemental:
Cool :laugh:
[Xperia Z2 General] unmaskedfalesh:
Did you put your device in water if yes it might not have dried completely in earpiece part..try that dry brush cleaning mentioned by Kartoonz..that might help or use little air blast near the earpiece but strange the Care center people are such as a*****le sometimes...
[Xperia Z2 General] :
yes it was clear when the volume is full..
[Xperia Z2 General] badelemental:
Generally I use 2.1 amps chargers as they will charge your device much quicker. From what I feel is this one is a bit better in charging time, but don't expect it to charge the device in 1 hour. It takes 1 hr 45 mins to 2 hrs. Getting back to 95% is quick but to reach 100% it takes time. It is normal in lithium ion batteries.

Also I have 2 charger backups, one at office and one at home. The default Sony one is the backup of backup ... LOL :D

Hey Guys. Got black Z2 on 12th itself. But a day or so later i noticed that the rear camera is not proper. The camera lens is not sitting in the centre of the silver ring for the camera in the back.

I showed to the dealer and he is checking with service center guys to see if it can be replaced. It has been 4-5 days since and he is still checking. Asked me to get a ticket id from sony customer care which i have and have provided the ticket to him also.

When i reported to him, he opened two other pieces and they also had similar incorrectly placed camera lens. The camera lens is just not sitting in the centre, it is towards the edge though taking pics it does not seem to interfere.

Anyone else has such issues? Should i get the phone replaced as it does not have any other issues whatsoever? Would sony replace it?

Any inputs would be great.

I got it from a dealer in Thane area.

The off centre lens does not affect the functionality of phone, camera, image quality in Any Way!

So just bcoz it's not dead centre, IMO you should not get it exchanged at all! God forbid but what if the exchanged unit has some serious earpiece problem, gap issue or something else ?

You have a perfectly working 100% flawless unit right now. So to exchange it wouldn't be a Wise Idea by any means!

That is because its Bluetooth headphone. Z2 will only send mp3 data to it over Bluetooth and the DAC in the Bluetooth headphone plays it.

Phone's DAC is unused...

dont worry its bcos of some issues with digitalization and noise canceling algorithm(u can also check phonearena review on z2--call quality as well here in xda).......i do get it randomly,did checked the demo device and used it for sometime and it does reproduces the same effect randomly in silent/idle environment.......it may be corrected with the future firmware updates but it is not an issue for me whereas in a noisy environment ear piece sound quality is simply outstanding......................

[Xperia Z2 General] badelemental:
It's better to stick to your current phone. There are a lot of reports about off center camera and it is a widespread issue and the replacement might also hae the same off center camera. According to reports this does not effect camera.

You can check the details about the topic here : http://www.xperiablog.net/2014/05/15/xperia-z2-owners-who-has-an-off-centre-rear-camera/

Anyways I think Sony needs to improve it's QA so that there is less hardware defects (though off center camera is not an defect but still it is not expected at that high price range).

Welcome to Z2 family. Samsung should dump it's crappy Exynos processor and go with Qualcomm. To reduce cost they are dumping their in-house developed heating monster here in India.
