Anyone tried, "Proximity Action" app on g.play? you can just hold/cover the proximity sensor for 1 sec and u can turn off or wake up your screen.

There's also a wave to off / wake screen option, but it feels a little gimmicky and doesn't work most of the time.

Its an alternative to pressing the lovely power button IMHO.

Sorry if i missed this info in previos Threads, just joined

What to expect bro?, you are, in fact, in a SONY XPERIA Z thread..

Bashing aside, people do tend to feel secure purchasing 'proven' and 'mainstream' brands. hence Samsung's dominance of the market. And credit is really due to them for having an awesome marketing strategy as it is.

Most Malaysian's see SONY brand from the Sony Ericsson days.. very late or no updates, fielding dual-core when people are already pushing quad-cores to the limit, and the list goes on. Usually when people ask what phone im using and i say Sony, they would instinctively reply "I heard sony phones got lots of problem.. yours ok meh?.. why not buy samsung? samsung phones are good because they use android!" -

I too myself was in this crowd (not the samsung = android people, mind you). But everything after the Z changed for Sony IMO. Their omni-balance designs, up to date specs, timely updates (for JB 4.2 at least), unlocked bootloaders, changing display tech from the current bravia to Triluminous in ZUltra and Honami and as an extra, making water+dust proof features nearly standard to their new range of devices just shows how Sony is trying to win back the market share. And to win in such a market with malaysian consumers who are mostly defined by hype-factors is a very very hard battle, even for giants like Sony.

For me personally (been using One X, S3 & Note I), I see only HTC, Sony, LG who truly wants to push innovation in design, build quality, and experience, compared to Samsung who prefer to churn out awesome innovative capabilities in their handsets that people RARELY use rather than making their gadgets eye-catching and durable. But I could be wrong.

is there any way to snap frame/pic of the video you are currently playing from the gallery of the XZ? Im not talking about the screen capture (power button + volume rocker). Been Googling but couldnt find anything..

sorry to ask this, becoz i came from Samsung & HTC, which both have this option as stock out of the box.

any ideas? Thanks!

Just want to check if i missed sumthing out from sony hardware. 1st time using a sony droid. Kinda gotta get used with the lack of previous phone make features and indulge on what the XZ can provide then.

But then again, a single key press on a screen button is indeed more ergonomic ease of operation and hassle free compared to pow+vol combo imo.
