[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johann_London:
I disagree here. Who ever told you that is just extremely good at marketing.

It depends just how you pull it out and of course how you insert it into your pocket. Think about a double sided flyer. Now you can either have both sides printed with the same side facing up (like most flyers), which means to turn it over you must flip it from left to right or vice versa, or you can have the one side upside down so you flip the flyer from top to bottom, or vice versa. Both manoeuvres as carried out by your hand to flip the flyer are equally easy to do.

If you have the headphone jack on the top, slide the phone into your pocket with the screen facing inwards - that way when you pull it out you have exactly the same effect (a phone that is the right side up) than having the Jack at the bottom which means when you pull the phone out it seems the right way up.

I say seems because the phone is actually upside down, but as you look down at it it looks right, but really you are still reading upside down.

So if you really get technical, you do not have to carry out any extra manoeuvres, nor is it any way easier than the other, whether the jack is at the bottom and the phone is inserted upside down, screen outward, or whether the jack is at the top and the phone is inserted screen inwards and right way up.

And if I continue to dig, as somebody with mild OCD tendencies, then I'd probably prefer to keep my phone the right way up in my pocket as opposed to upside down and with the screen inwards, as I've walked into stuff before and that offers extra protection for the delicate screen.

I found that when my iphone jack moved to the bottom the only difference it made was I needed to loop the wire extra times through the arm strap.

It's just Apple being good at selling sh*t ideas to you. Like the world revolves around single handed use of a phone.

Somebody else said the same thing and I sent them a long reply. Check it out.

About the sound pressure or volume. It's not actually Sony, it's the EU!

One of the conditions is adequate warnings and for the sound to be reset to safe levels sporadically.

It's just the law in Europe.

http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_MEMO-09-418_en.htm?locale=en

I quote:

In particular, the mandate provides:

That, exposure to sound levels is to be limited to avoid hearing damage: The safe sound level depends on the length of listening time. For example, at 80 dB(A), exposure should not exceed 40 hours/week and at 89 dB(A) exposure should not exceed 5 hours/week.

For adequate warnings on the risks involved,*and on ways to avoid them. Information should also be provided covering the situation when the original set of earphones is replaced with another type and this causes higher unsafe sound levels.

So it will happen every time you unplug your phones.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaycalgary:
Who cares what the law/reason is. If they dont give me an easy way to have the volume I need they are just crippling my device. My Ipod touch had no problem giving me the volume I neef for low gain audio. Why act like a Sony shill showing me laws that dont even apply to my country. Most other brands have plenty of volume. I spent over $1k on this phone including trying to get earbuds that would give me the dame functions as my touch and so far failed. A lot of things I really like about the phone but these few things also really ruin my listening experience. The worst part to me is that the crippling is caused by Sony not a hardware limitation kind of like what Apple does and was so nice to get away from. I think I will get what I want out of a smaller company that just wants to sell hardware and not act like big brother knows best with the user experience. Hoping that maybe the HTC M9 will be the phone that does that for me. Might even be a no name phone with great specs but I do think I will get to get away from this kind of control in the near future.

My opinion comes from my own user experience don't ever try and tell me it comes from marketing. To me you sound like a Sony shill to be honest. It is 100% more ergonomic having the headphone jack on the bottom of the phone. It is stupid to have to pull it out of the pocket and have to rotate it 180 degrees to have it right side up and increase the chance of dropping the phone.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheNerd:]:
Woah there buddy. Nobody marketed this idea to me. People naturally orient their phones upside down in the pocket. Pull it out the same way it's put in. If the headphone jack is on the top, a two fingered hold on the top edge is required to pull it out right side up. If the headphone jack is on the bottom, it can pulled out the same way it was put in.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johann_London:
The laws I quoted coincidentally apply to my country and to the biggest part of Sony's market. You can choose to reject them, but I just explained to you that it's not Sony - who you keep on harping about, it's the EU.

Secondly, you do not have to rotate the phone 180 degrees when the headphone jack is at the top and the phone is inserted into your pocket right way up, screen inwards. You just slide the phone out, you have to tilt it ever so slightly to glance at the screen.

Exactly the same thing you do when the headphone jack is at the bottom and the phone is placed in your pocket with the screen outward. You still need to slide the phone out and tilt the screen forward.

If you don't tilt the screen forward you can't actually read it no matter where the jack is. Nobody's eyes can see at a trajectory.

Try both methods and count the amount of actions you do and you will see both are the same, just one a reverse of the other.

In both methods you need to slide the phone out of your pocket. In both methods you need to tilt the phone slightly. It's really all the same.

So it is a ridiculous statement to say the one is 100% more ergonomic than the other, how can they hold true when both ways have exactly the same manoeuvres and exactly the same amount of steps to get technical?

Go on try both if you don't believe me...

---------- Post added at 02:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:52 AM ----------

People naturally orientate their phone upside down in their pockets? Where is this information from? I don't do that and I've not read any statistics ever on this to be able to say yes or no. I'd like to see where this information is from.

I also don't see your two finger argument. You can pull the phone out any way you want both ways as long as you don't cover the screen with your hand.

Btw I'm not a shill for Sony, just a professor of common sense.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaycalgary:
Why do you insist on babbling on about law and acting like a Sony shill. Fact is Sony is crippling my audio experience and most other company's do not around here. I don't understand why you are so daft to write the same reply over and over. We don't agree and it is plain and simple.I put my phone in my pocket holding it portrait and siding it in landscape and pull it out the same way. I would think most people do the same. Only makes sense from experience it is 100% more ergonomic when the headphone jack is on the bottom so I don't have to rotate the device 180 degrees for the headphone cable.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johann_London:
You accuse me of saying the same thing over, but it's because you are not taking notice when I'm telling you it is exactly the same.

You slide the phone into your pocket in portrait mode and then rotate it to landscape, ?? What? A 5.2 inch screen you slide into your pocket in landscape? How does that work? That's what you said. It makes no sense.

Can you just explain please?

Love my Z3. Took a 4K video of my 2month old nephew and had no way to give the dad a copy on his iPhone 6 while if he had Android, literally dozens of options
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johann_London:
Absolutely, this is the reason android is far, far superior to iOS. Once you have experienced the boundless freedom of android, you really do start questioning what kind of person prefers Apple's offering.

There have been fabulous name calling and mud slinging here, all of which are totally fine with me because I detest Apple, but I think that probably the most correct answer is that it's just people who don't know any better.

I live in the UK which is Apple's second biggest market after the US. To this day I still get raised eyebrows and weird looks and am often question by Apple snobs when my phone is laid on the table at a birthday gathering and it's the only non Apple device.

I invariably get surprised and frowning faces when I start reeling off what my phone can do and theirs not and that my reasons for not wanting an iPhone is 100% through choice.

And these kind of talks just make me hate Apple even more, because it's become a kind of status symbol of a certain perceived affluence and not really an excellent multipurpose device - especially now with super expensive versions like the iPhone 6 Plus 128GB.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheNerd:]:
Nobody places his/her phone with the screen facing out. Nobody. 100% of the people that I know put their phone in their pocket upside down with the screen facing inward. The bottom of the phone faces up, so that's why the headphone jack should be on the bottom of the phone. I don't need any statistics.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raviboy100:
amen to that, loool very nice use of words mate, i cant describe it better
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johann_London:
Let's agree to disagree. But you are speaking for millions of people who did not ask to be spoken for, so let's just say that is how YOU do it... Not everybody, ok?

PS. If you have the phone upside down in your pocket screen inwards, then it kind of defies your logic of the jack being at the bottom (not that I see the logic anyway), because in order to read the screen you need to pull it out and still rotate the phone in order to get the phone to face you... This is exactly the thing you said you dont want to do with the jack at the top, as it increases your chances of dropping the phone. It would actually be slightly easier to read the screen with the phone upside down in your pocket screen outwards when you pull it out, than screen inwards, in which case you need to turn the phone quite a bit more to read it. You know what? I don't think you have a clue what you are talking about...
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaycalgary:
You are totally daft and twist words because you fail to read properly. It's 100% more ergonomic to have the headphone jack on the bottom of the phone. Hold the phone just as you use it with one hand. Insert the top of the phone and slide into jacket with headphone jack on the bottom. Remove phone one handed exactly how it was put in. Can you get that through your thick skull you ocd dumb dumb. I didn't think so.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johann_London:
Lol... So when you get angry you start name calling? I guess from your cheesy slang and style that you are American. So uncouth.

For a start I'm talking about a trouser pocket like jeans, because my phone always goes in my trouser pocket no matter what I wear and if you think about this carefully, then it doesn't matter which side the jack is because you can just teach yourself if you are not too old and stubborn, to orientate the phone so that it is the right way up when u pull it out and indeed if the phone is the right way up in front of you when you are using it, it only needs to slip exactly that way into your pocket.

It really is exactly the same, just opposite of eachother and it is not 100% more ergonomic, especially if you do sport and the phone is strapped to you then it just becomes a problem, but yeah if your phone can sit in your pocket in landscape as you said earlier and you don't care about sport and you are American, then you are most likely just a bit larger than me...

So let's leave it. The thread is well off course and you have turned it into a fight with your name calling.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barondebxl:
Although I respect your opinion, I think you're being a little harsh on the iPhone.

For the basic functionalites of a smartphone, call, text, email and Web browsing, i think the iPhone is second to none. That's one of the reasons why the iPhone is so popular, because it excels in those areas. Also the camera on the iPhone 6 is absolutely stellar, again I don't think that there's a better smartphone camera on the market. I have owned the iPhone 6 by the way.

So it all comes down to how you use your phone. From what I read, it seems that you like the freedom of downloading files, sharing it without any issues and trust me I'm with you on that. But the majority of people don't care about that, they just wanna use apps, make calls and enjoy a nice camera, in other words they want an iPhone.

---------- Post added at 08:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:52 PM ----------

It will come down to Z3 or S5 I would say. I have owned pretty much all of the 2014 flagships. My favorite without a doubt is the HTC One M8. The second is the Z3. I'm on vacation and needed a phone with a solid camera and long lasting battery life so I got this Z3 yesterday and so far it has been fantastic.

But for you I would say you can't go wrong with either the Z3 or S5. If root is something you want, go S5 otherwise Z3 hands down. It's almost a zero compromise device.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johann_London:
Hey thanks for your reply. Yeah, I must admit, I have long harboured a kind of hatred for Apple - in fact, my hatred started with the advent of the iPod, so I'm definitely not the best person for an unbiased opinion.

The freedom of android is certainly very high up on my list of why I prefer it to iOS, but if I have to single one thing out, I mean if I really have to name just one reason why this is for me, it will be the fact that it has far, far superior sound quality over an iPod or iPhone - if listening to music is your thing.

I love warmth of Sony's sound and full, rounded and punchy bass and when you play the same source on an iPhone 6 and on this phone and listen with the same headphones, the Z3 makes the iPhone sound anaemic by comparison.

1. Go to sdcard1 (memory card), check for folder named "media", if not there create one careful but case sensitive.

2. Then create another folder inside media folder named "audio" case sensitive.

3. Now finally move or put all your favorite songs directly into the folder created named "audio".

Yes, it is possible. But please do a search before you ask questions. You will find the info here:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_BootloaderMFG

and here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=296511

For your second request --->

To change the "Windows Mobile" startup screen you got to copy a .png picture file (320*240) into your devices "/Windows" directory, with the name "welcomehead.96.png". I copied with Resco Explorer and got a warning for overwriting a ROM file. Still: This worked! Also with the new WM6 ROMS (in my case XDA live 0.10).

(see: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeFAQ#Q21)

Well, in my case I edited a small screen with my name, contact details and picture and used it as flash screen 1&2 and as Windows Mobile startup screen. So that if I ever loose the device everyone will know where to return it. Quite a theft prevention as well, since a hard-reset won´t erase the flash screens.
