If order online from Sony store, do you guys know what will come with the package? I don't feel like waiting for the Sony in Kuching, there's still no stock yet. ><

Bro, in kuching at Saberkas already selling Midland warranty Xperia V. Price rm1599. At PC Image pay cash can get cheaper. That what the promoter tell me, correct if i am wrong. smile.gif

Thanks for the info bro. May I know which PC image? Is it also the Saberkas branch? Probably will go and have a look tonight or tomorrow. Hmm..then I'll have to cancel the order from Sony online. biggrin.gif

PC image seberkas also. If i not mistaken the promoter told me if pay with cash rm1480 only, credit card rm1599. But dont trust me blindly ask yourself ok. Sory if there is any miscomm. blush.gif
*
Finally I've got it!!! Didn't had a second thought once I've laid my hands on the phone during demo.

Btw, you're right bro. I got it from PC image for RM1480 by cash, bundled with a 2000mah powerbank. Then i add myself a 32gb micro sd.

Excited with the new toy! rclxm9.gif But hopefully the SOD problem will be solved soon else it'll be a joy breaker along the way. smile.gif

Next in the waiting line is the DK25 charging dock. Hopefully it'll get to Malaysia coz it's an advantage not needing to frequently open the charging flap. Worry it'll tear and wear and hamper then water resistant feature.

Btw, has any users know how do I move or change the default apps installation to micro sd instead of the internal storage? I could not find this option.

Good for you bro. I think maybe today or tomorrow buy it. The SOD really spoil the mood for me but if update can solve it then the V's is for me. hahaha... V here i come... drool.gif

Welcome to the family, soon! rclxms.gif Now what's spoils the joy is the detection of micro sd card as external memory. Need to find a way to set the default installation or storage to ext. memory else not gona be handy even with expandable memory. sweat.gif

Thats gonna be tricky. For years using sony android phone i still doesnt understand how to root/install apps iin ext.memory. but if u succeed please share in this thread.  tongue.gif
1 more thing bro, the powerbank come free with the phone? if free sure i will buy from them. hahaha
*
Might need to root your phone first. No prob, I'll share if i managed to garnered info and tried it out successfully.

Yep, the powerbank is free. I asked them do they give any freebies or not then they told me they'll give me a free powerbank. Or i can opt for micro sd.

In the end i took powerbank then buy micro sd separately, should be more worth it this way. biggrin.gif

Taken in a pitch black room with flash  wink.gif It's all about experimenting. You're bound to get a good result like this with one of the settings. You can't do that with a phone with no setting ie. iPhone

I'm rather impressed with the camera. biggrin.gif You're using superior auto all the time?

At this point, no. I'm still very busy experimening with ALL the settings. I've never had to deal with so many settings in a single camera! Usually it's just one menu to open and that's it, but now the settings permutation seems endless. But I suspect when all the experimenting is over, I'll use Superior Auto in most cases and use custom settings to get particular effects that I want. Superior Auto is already good in most cases.
Thanks. I'm too lazy to mingle around with the different phone camera settings and yes, I'd agree that superior auto is already that good.

Here's a test shot with indoor lighting, superior auto w/o post-processing. Will post more pics if I came across a good scene. smile.gif

Another shot while taking a wash at the basin. Superior auto + flash.

but the phone is really draining the battery especially with data traffic turned on sad.gif

I don't know how to quantify but it's my second charge and with 5++ hours, 50% left.

Wifi all the time at home with data traffic off, data traffic on whenever outside. Mostly texting, whatsapp, camera testing.

I think will need to bring charger to office d later coz alot of ppl want to get their hands on new phone. sweat.gif

So far battery getting along quite well. Charged to 100% at 12am midnight yesterday, now almost 24 hours and I'm left with 64%. Very very minimal usage i would say, data traffic off in office, wifi on only when in use to check whatsapp, data traffic on during my badminton for 3 hours, back home on with only wifi again.

Other than that, not much activities. Games and fb all those mostly with my tablet instead. And thus far to report, no SOD issue yet. smile.gif

Oh,the bottom bezel?Why kemek so easily one?Is it made out of plastic or metal?

Hmm..I don't think it's plastic, nor pure metal. can't tell what material it is but I think coz the road got little rocks so unavoidable. Ah well, at least screen still ok. If scratched then I'll really go mad and replace new one straight away. tongue.gif

Just for your info, here's a link here for you to download the updates from different regions.

I've not tried it yet coz I don't like the hassle of maybe needing to flash it so I'd opt to wait for official roll out. smile.gif
