Hi all, I'm currently very interested in getting the ZR especially due to the size which is still not too big like Z1/Note, it's waterproof capability, and relatively cheap price nowadays.
Any issues with this phone though before I really buy it? Thx all.

So no nagging issues or weaknesses with it?

Yeah I know about the Z1 Compact but screen a bit too small already. I like sizes around the ZR or Galaxy S4. More over I need the phone now, and not willing to spend so much on phones. Anyway I bought the ZR already yesterday and so far quite happy with it, pass my water test also. Just wish the battery life can last the full 24hrs, but I guess even >12hrs is already an achievement for smartphones, isn' it?

Yeah, 1st time using is always the most since still trying to learn it and customizing it. After that then should be much less usage, so I hope it will last longer.
Btw I think I'd need to buy the docking charger so I won't need to keep opening that charger flap until it becomes spoiled and cannot hold the water out.

I don't know, haven't got time to look for it yet. Yes surely have in MY coz I know someone who already is using it for exactly the same reason as mine. I think he bought it at Sony KLCC.

Wah very good then, I thought based on the warranty book, water damage is not covered.

Sorry what are specifically the issues with wifi & BT? I've also upgraded mine but seems still ok, or maybe I just haven't noticed it yet.

Hmm so far mine still works for both functions.

Argh same thing happen to me last weekend! Took it to swiming pool a few times already in several months, works fine but then at the last time after we finish swimming and arrived home, suddenly when I took out my phone from my bag the screen was flickering and half of it already dark! I was surprised because it was fine even after we finish swimmming that day. I then immediately turn it off then try to dry it out overnight (open cover, battery, flaps) and try to hairdry also but the screen compeltely gone already. Just today I called the service center and they say cannot repair so can only exchange with new phone. That means I'd loose all the data inside it! Very dissapointed now with this phone and will never trust any waterproof phone anymore.

Is there a way to get the data back from the phone?? Because the phone itself actually still works, just the screen dead. Apprecaite any help on this.

The thing is if the screen is dead, then you cannot activate the connection to the PC. It says that the phone is still locked and need to be unlocked in order to connect!

No I did not, I was just swimming in the swimming pool and most of the time the phone is above water anyway.

Wanted to upgrade but then it requires so much space right (like >1gb)? So I still hold back now.
Speaking of sound, I noticed fro some time now my phone speaker phone sounds so weak! Anybody knows why and how to rectify?
