Its the current which determines the rate of charging. Higher amp adapter such as ipad ones are rated at 2A while normal ones are around 1A iinm. Tho, higher amp MIGHT reduce the battery life span at a long run. Higher amp charger adapter will charge the phone faster.

BTW I have found the app Sketch that allow me to write/sketch freely. Don't know how I missed that earlier on. Palm must not be touching the display to write/sketch freely

Anyway I am interested in how to scribble n sketch on an image file ; I saw this being demo in one of the promotion videos

use 2A more faster lol

The XZU charger is rated at 1.5A

if use higher like 2.1A will it charge faster?

Press the recent app , look for active clip uncle =)

Actually I don't really know. There are 2 opinions - some said it will charge faster while some said it will not as the phone will limit the amount of current being input in
Anyway I always use my ipad ( 2.1A) charger to charge all my phones/tablets - has been doing this faithfully past 5 years. So when I sell off my stuffs, the charger/cable is usually brand new/intact !!

thats what I used to do too! But after sell off my iPad, no more charger

Plan to buy the charger only. It seems to charge faster

WOW . Thanks . It works - a bit leceh-lah the process

I just check the baseband version of this phone which is 8974, and surprisingly, the LTE is supported for this snapdragon 800 model, based on Wikipedia

u can use the sketch too, but sketch only allowed rectangular crop, while active clip let u screen shot on browser, n do customs selection on where u wan it to be crop n paste in to sketch for editing.

Thanks for the pointers. This feature is quite useful at times though I will not be using it regularly

wow unbelievable!

yes. All new snapdragon processor support LTE as far as I know. I just don't know why Sony didn't put it and make it two model instead

no wonder nexus 4 hv free lte for canada band

The snapdragon 800 comes with several variation, but the 8974 model is the one that support the LTE base band

Finally I manage to find only one old ( inkless ) ballpen that works perfectly and seamlessly ( as well as the pencil) for writing, pointing to launch apps, typing on keyboard, sketching etc . I have 14 of such old inkless ballpen of various brands/types
I got this pen while attending an exhibition about 2 years ago at Suntec Singapore. It is more convenient to carry a pen than a pencil to use with this phone
So it is true some ballpen points can work !!

Xperia Z and SP all has 3 model. One 3G for market like India, the other is Asian/European band LTE while the other supports northern American and other.

I must say that Sony seems to rush this one out. It the fastest Sony launch availability ever. I wonder if all snapdragon 800 ffeature like audio chip, usb 3.0, low energy voice command, are available in this phone

just pray someone can figure out how to enable it.

My friend got from Hong Kong for me. I pay him 240 for it. I hope this one is good....
