I have a problem.. i paired with my Sony Ericsson BT headset and after about 2 minutes listening music with the headset the bt connection is lost and cant be paired back. Only after repairing with the bt headset will it connect again but connection will be lost due to the same condition again and again...

QUOTE(kilsmap @ Dec 28 2013, 07:46 AM) Hmm.. Not sure why, but I've known ZR's bluetooth can be quite problematic, have experience it myself.. Sometimes have to be rough a bit with the phone.. They say sonething might be loose.. In my case, even re-pairing can't solve, brute force only.. Whats your meaning on brute force? shake the phone?On another note, successfully updated to 4.3 and rooted and still have locked bootloader.. Loving the new themes, appearance and functionality.. |

QUOTE(old newspaper @ Dec 28 2013, 06:38 PM) can get it from here, IPmart for only RM67.71 shipped with poslaju... Thanks for the link!! Whats the meaning data sync? means i can transfer file through the dock as well? And output is rated 1A, so i assume it will take a little more time to charge than the standard charger.this can charge add batt with the back slot... if you can wait for 2-3 week, can get the same charger from china online store for only usd12 ( free shipping ), which i just did... QUOTE(kilsmap @ Dec 28 2013, 08:49 PM) Yep.. Good ol' elbow grease.. But it works.. Or they say pushing a bit to the mic place under the cam also can yield good result.. Thanks for the tips, my phone bt connection miraculously became stable today. |

QUOTE(jubz @ Jan 1 2014, 07:33 PM) Heya folks, for those who did an upgrade recently to 4.3, did you noticed any unusual heating/warming up? Example: there is a noticeable amount of heat on the phone eventhough it is not doing anything Yup, noticed it. try turning off auto sync. It seems that when connected wirelessly like wifi or 3G it will heat up quite fast. But i think the heat fried my motherboard, just sent for warranty (less than a week f use edit: It happens when the phone tries to search for a service also. Mine lost all service/signal and wifi This post has been edited by nixonyang: Jan 1 2014, 08:57 PM |

QUOTE(mystvearn @ Jan 6 2014, 10:22 AM) I am a SGS2 user and thinking of my next smartphone update. Being using SGS2 since launch about May 2011. 1. SGS4 picture quality is way better than ZR.. Its top of its class for small mobile sensor.Since SGS5 should be launched in the next 2 months, and the ZR was first available May 2013. I assume a normal phone cycle would be a May 2014 for the ZR successor to come. My questions are: 1. How good is the ZR's camera vs the SGS2 or even the SGS4's camera? 2. How long can the battery last last? 3. Should I hold out for the ZR's successor, since it is already Jan and May is not far off. 4. The ZR phone release is May 2013, but when practically can purchase the phone earliest? 2. The battery can easily last 2 days with moderate use (none gaming and light mobile internet usage) with stamina mode of course 3. If you decide to play the waiting game, it will go on forever since a new phone will come out endlessly. If this phone suits your need, then buy it and it will be cheaper. 4. i dont understand this question, i myself also just purchased this phone 2 weeks ago (sent back for warranty btw) |

QUOTE(mystvearn @ Jan 6 2014, 06:15 PM) Thanks for the reply. Last question I meant was, the phone released date was May 2013. But released date does not equal to date which you can actually purchase the phone. I was wondering when did this phone became available for purchase in Malaysia this phone has been available here since late may or early june if i'm not wrong. But later phone will have a later manufacturing date, you can check it under the battery (my one was manufactured during week47 which is november). I think its a combination of problems and bad luck, after updating the wifi became unstable (software), few days later phone lost all signal/service and kept rebooting randomly (hardware). Suspected the motherboard is faulty, but a check at the sony forum that my case is rare (got myself a faulty unit) Does this phone have problems? Sent back for warranty? |

QUOTE(Ramjade @ Jan 9 2014, 02:44 PM) Yes. Xperia Z1 compact have just recently been announced. It should be available in March. It is same specs as Z1. My family member used SGS4, the photo it produced really is good. ZR suffers from over sharpening and higher noise.My friend told me my ZR camera better than SG4. He took both photos and then compare by zooming in, it is found that ZR photo better. But best is take a ZR and SG4 and compare side by side. |

QUOTE(kysham @ Jan 11 2014, 10:53 AM) I have the same dock (in fact, I have 3 docks, all the same model). The blue LED is to indicate if the dock is receiving power from USB or not. That's all. It doesn't indicate charging. To know if the phone is fully charged or not, have to check on the phone itself. If you slot a 2nd battery into the battery charging port at the back, then there will be another red LED light (next to the blue LED) that will light up, indicating that the dock is charging the spare battery. Once that battery is fully charged, the red LED will go off. The dock is capable of charging both the phone and the spare battery at the same time. Now i know what to check ^^, thanks. Till i got my phone back from warranty thats itAfter I upgraded to 4.3, I noticed that my SMS app is sometimes lagging and I will need to force close it. But everything else is very good. Just this damn sms app.... haish.... can never have everything working perfectly. |

QUOTE(grayfox5129 @ Jan 14 2014, 11:15 PM) have u guys having trouble during update JB 4.3? Mine after the downloading complete, after turn off phone, then push volume down button while plugging the usb, my PC suddenly hang, sony companion could not detect the phone. But before turn off the phone, it could detect properly. Use pc companion, much easier. Just plug in USB normally and theres a step by step instructions on how to updateBtw, my phone when i plug in the usb cable, it detect as removable disc, not media transfer device..is that the problem? If that so, how i can turn back it into the media transfer device instead of removable disc?? |

QUOTE(zan4182 @ Jan 24 2014, 11:29 AM) Bro.. when u charge ur phone using the charging dock, will the screen rotate to horizontal view or not? Finally got my phone back from warranty and i can answer your question. The screen will rotate to landscape mode after inserting to dock. Just that the lock screen will not rotate only. Do not use china/brandless charger for the dock also, will cause the phone screen to go crazyi saw some pics showing that the screen doesn't rotate. http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NTAwWDUwMA==/z/P...p/$_12.JPG webpage |
