and thats what I expected if anything goes wrong that phone crashes/ freezes or shutdown

since battery is not removable, hard reset will make it hard to find out problems

I'm still thinking want to get this phone or not

looks great  rclxms.gif

Here's is my honest opinion

As a newbie to smart phone
This phone is nice, but compare to my brother Note 2
the display really lacks the WOW factor

Then, being so close to AOSP build
the quick function out of the box is much lesser than that of the touch wiz
Stuff like nfc, airplane mode are not in the notification page for ease of use

but with apps like "power toggle"
you can create something similar in that situation
which is suffice for me

example
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


for those that interested in rooting, unlocking bootloader, custom roms etc
than this phone have potential
the community in XDA is brilliant with tons of developer doing stuff for this phone

The let down is that the battery is a bit low
enough for my daily use, but daily charging is not something i prefer ..still...

I have a colleague that saw the phone and thought getting it (for the sake of reesistant properties)
but I advised against it, not because of anything sinister
but this colleague of mine is a tech n00b
and in the end, all question and trouble shooting end back up to me... sweat.gif

either u or other party will disappoint about it.. very "gek sum" one..

as long as you are happy with it.. ok mah..

sharp or jdc.. both also good screen..  thumbup.gif

if JDC is worse than sharp
then i will take it to me for the rest of the Z life

if it is the other way around
I will laugh at the other fella face
and taunt "HAHAHAHA BAD DISPLAY!!!! HAHAHA!!!!"

laugh.gif

jz joking
it just that I am a curious type of person
somewhat a cat person
so just wanna see with own eyes whether have differences detectable to me
maybe the differences is minimal that is beyond my eyes

This is a good MOD : you get expanded toggle listing in taskbar and just a simple Close ALL button to swipe away all open apps instead of swiping it one by one

guys any 1 of you experience a terrible low speaker volume after getting this Z wet?? ^^ if yes then use vacum suck the water out from your speaker hole.
*
as tempting as it is
i still regard the IP rating as a last line defense
so I rather not expose to water unless needed


btw
anyone tested power bank with the sony own suppplied cable
today found out it cant charge
with the power bank cable is okay

summary for charging with power bank
powerbank cable = okay
Sony cable = NG
Samsung Cable = NG

Does anyone having issues with stamina mode on XZ? sorry if this question asked before. When i turn on the stamina mood it's still showing the same standby time as it before its enable. Seem like its doesnt work. Tried to reboot/off still the same.
*
its actually extended standby mode controller

This is the 2nd time I have done clear cache on this app

not really happy with this issue

before clearing, on/off is 6hrs
after clearing is 1 day - off, 2 day - on rclxub.gif

maybe after some time with my prolong usage, the standby time is lower thatn that

QUOTE(WintersuN @ Mar 25 2013, 10:59 AM)
Hey guys,

I read many reviews say Sony Z is battery hog and it cannot really last very long. What your views on this?

And if apply screen protector, will it reduce sensitivity on the touch scren?
*
Using the display= yes
with display off = no,

it was tested by gsm arena that the phone if used for calling equate or excell better than that of SGNote 2
Once the display is on, then the battery struggle to cope with it
even worse when you are watching movie

some simple analysis done

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key...SGc&usp=sharing

1.The standby time is similar to that of note 2, in fact per mAh, the Z is more lower in power consumption
2.The web browsing usage is also similar
3.The big issue is the video playback test where the Z suffers high battery usage
4.Endurance of Z uses a bit higher battery than the Note 2

then I do a theoretical calculation with the Z having the same battery size as the Note 2,
and the 3G talktime is a massive 20+ hrs with the webbrowsing similar time
but the video playback still way off (3 hrs) from what Note 2 can do

so my guesses:
1. Z display is the battery guzzler of the whole unit
2. Z 3G talktime is the current unwritten de facto standard between manufacturer. Nobody want to start a batt life war which is less important to them. As long as the Talk time is closes to their competitor, they could care less if the batt life suffers in other area
