Looks like dusts. Happened to my DSLR last time due to lens changing frequently,but it's not understandable how could dusts went in your phone which is dust resistant. I working in dusty environment thus dust resistant phone is a must for me. My previous phone Motorola Defy served me well until it had broken screen. I changed to XZ hopefully can serve me well as my Defy

Any of you using 3rd party charging dock? How's the quality? I got original dock but thinking to get a 3rd party dock & modify the seat so that can fit in my phone with case. I am working in workshop and I can make the dock by myself,just need to get the electronic board inside to put into my custom made dock, or cut open the seat larger tongue.gif

4th day I been using this phone,fw .307

I must praise the battery standby time by the phone,totally impressed,always left me 60%++ when I back home. I read many reviews saying the screen on time is a let down where the screen is battery drainer. But, I just use the phone for call/checking mails/whatsapp & other messengers, more than sufficient for my 2 days use per charge.

Great job Sony for the stamina mode

Is the Z come with TFT screen not OLED?  If TFT, how come it's cost more than other brand?

I don't know about others but I think the screen is not as bad as the reviews, black is really black, almost same black as the phone bezel,and good visibility under sun, so far I am satisfied

I would choose wifi version over LTE if I were to buy the XTZ. Not worth the extra money for 1 added functionality

okay.. after my findings from yesterday until now.. i find something interesting..

1. Smart Lockscreen protector This can disable people turn off our phone (No root required). *The things i wish to get*

If phone get turned off, then everything is gone.. cant track GPS, cant do anything at all after phone turn off..

2. GotYa!
Just paid on it. It can capture the face of people who trying to unlock ur phone with wrong password.. will send to email, fb with location track enabled... u can remote control by SMS. to play alarm..

i just tried these 2 apps now.. totally people cant turn off the phone and turn off the volume of phone at all..

with these 2 combination, i think temporary fulfill my needs.. people cant turn off my phone, he will get face trapped to my email, he will get caught..

rm8 required only for total.. 1 free apps, 1 paid apps.PLUS xz/xzl is battery non removable.. i recommend to u all for my findings.. to protect our expensive phone..
*
Thanks for the sharing,really useful apps you recommended there biggrin.gif


Edit: I found another app named "Cerberus anti theft", how does it fare against GotYa! ??

for me both are almost same..

my intention at here to install these 2 apps is trying to prevent people after steal our phone, and turned off our phone and reflash the firmware or ROM. so every data in previous is wiped off.

Normally, phone will enter lockscreen after sleep. so people need to enter pin/pattern/password to unlock the lockscreen. but public still can powered off the phone where here is something leaks for thief.. With Smart Lockscreen Protector can prevent people turned off our phone. (thief cant powered off, cant remove battery, cant reflash ROM/firmware for a period).

Once u noticed ur phone is stolen, u can active the ALARM at GotYa!. which cant be turned off /lowering the volume (TESTED). Thief will attempt to unlock ur lockscreen, or power off ur phone (which unable to do so with 1st apps). so thief will got nothing to do for that period.. IF thief didnt attempt to do as above, u can still remote SMS to get ur phone location, remote to capture the face and sent to ur email. which very useful.. all of these can do in silently.

conclusion here, my intention is try to slow down the thief to reflash our phone for a period while ur phone still got battery.. u can track back phone location and get the photo of thief and do police report.

*Requirement*
1. Mobile data & GPS must be actived always (Slow data is ok).
*
Yup,I understand your intention I this is one of the best advantage of non-removable battery in my opinion. the GotYa! doesn't turn on your GPS automatically when wrong passcode detected? I think the Cerberus has this feature built in.

I tried the first app,definitely working in our XZ. Will get the 2nd app either GotYa! or Cerberus. Will research deeper first. Thanks biggrin.gif

hi, with the smart lockscreen protector, if we press the power+vol up button, will the phone still restart?

cos if the phone still restart, and if you have set the SIM pin, your phone will be stuck on this screen and all the data/gps will be temporary off.
*
Tried it, it will restart, I think the app can't over write force of the phone
