i'm using YES wifi dongle, thats why can keep connected everywhere. But i do find strange battery draining during standby mode, in about 7 hours it will drop 5-8 % (overnight after charging, i'll turn off the charger once the battery reach 100%)

My charging dock still no reach..... zzzzz
Ordered I think near to a month from ipmart, and they said stock will reach last week (if refer to Sunday is first day), and yet still no received any massage, sent a massage to ask them whether stock reach already or not

The main reason why I am still using my ZR is because of the removable battery. I have 2 batteries with me, so whenever one die, I just swap over with another one, and immediately I get 100% battery power. I'm also using the charging dock (not the original Sony one), so I have a spare slot to charge my additional battery, while still charging the phone. I don't like to use powerbank because I don't really like the idea of bringing the phone with a powerbank attached to it by a cable. It's too cumbersome to me. Personal preference though. Your mileage may vary.

My workday pattern is not fixed. Sometimes I am in the office almost the entire day. Other days, I am out of the office most of the time. So I tend to keep my phone on data most of the time. I check fb & whatsapp quite often, so I would say my data usage is probably quite regular (not light, but not heavy also). I find having 2 batteries is the best combination for me. 1 battery will easily last me from 8 am till evening 6 or 7 pm on a busy day. On a more relaxed day, I won't have to change battery at all. I leave my phone on the charging dock overnight.

Mine can last 16 hrs with balance of 20% (moderate usage) after the latest update. Turn on data all the time with stamina mode on. Never thinking of using power bank.



Luckily mine arrived after 2 weeks.

Thanks for the screenshot! You must be quite a heavy user?

most places i've read mention the same thing about battery drain during standby. tried checking which app is the cluprit? if you rooted, maybe you could use wakelock detector and then prevent this with something like greenify?

nice..your usage pattern is closest to mine actually. a good estimate for me. i feel the same way about powerbanks too.

wow, this is the best timing so far. with data on all the time somemore. did you do any extra tweaks (i.e. root, greenify, etc..)??

Totally f*** off for the service of ipmart, sent three different cases for them and found that in these three different cases all answered in different answer and some answers are even repeated, I may cancel order of charging dock from them.

I have a question . Since now i am using 4.3, the camera doesn't provide the option to take hdr photo in superior auto mode as 4.2 did . Does it means in 4.3 no hdr for superior auto mode ?

felt really sorry for you ... you may want to try buying from taobao

My ZR now cannot detect Bluetooth and even Wifi after the recent update. Where shall I post my complain? Should I send it to service centre or it has to do with the software update and just have to wait for new update?

Any help will be much appreciated.

Nvm, after I complaint they just sent it faster...

We just need to push them a bit.. are they sleeping? Last time buying from them also like that..

btw guys, is vroot + foldermount is the best way to make spaces?

Root your phone the only way to get extra space. Root can be done if you are still running 4.2 ver. If you on 4.3 you cannot root. Last time I root my phone at 4.2 but after update to 4.3 my root acess gone.

any news about 4.4 update?

btw,anyone having issues with unlocking their phone.
sometimes,mine takes seconds just to unlock it.
