I got a charging dock (actually I bought 3 units tongue.gif ) off eBay. Not original Sony dock but it costs less than RM40 each, shipped to me. I buy 3 docks cheaper than 1 original Sony dock. Works the same. At the back got 1 additional slot to charge an extra battery some more. Well? I go on eBay and bought to original Sony batteries for RM100, again including delivery to me. So yeah, now I got 2 spare batteries. I just bring them along with me whenever I go travelling. And for short trips (1 or 2 days), I don't even need to bring charger. biggrin.gif

This phone's lack of internal memory really does limit it. I did hit the memory brick wall recently. Had to uninstall quite a few apps to free up the memory. Forces me to remove some rubbish apps also lah. tongue.gif

Latest reply from Sony Malaysia to me regarding 4.2.2 update


Thank you for your feedback. We are unable to know when the update will be release in Malaysia as update releasing is based on region but definately we will send your request to the global team on this.

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.

After 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.  sweat.gif

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 crazy

Does the dock fit with the phone covered, or you need to remove the cover to dock?
*
Nope. need to either remove everytime u want to dock or modify the cover to fit in the dock.

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.

erm.... alcohol will most likely completely wipe off the coating, if it is alcohol soluble. Are you sure it is an anti-reflective coating? How do you know it is wearing out? Is it peeling off? Your photo not very clear actually. It looked like a layer of oil on the lens. If that's the case, then a simple wash with soapy water under running water should clean it up. The ZR is waterprood anyway.... tongue.gif

I'm positive that is anti-reflective coating.. sorry for not giving a better photo as it is hard to get a clear view.. is there anyway to re-coat the lense?
