QUOTE(h11g @ Jul 27 2013, 02:48 PM) very impressed with the build quality though... love thetempered glass and the aluminium edge at the side. so smooth... really sad there is no root for this phone yet otherwise I'll port all my apps over and start abusing this beast. as of now note 2 is still the phone I'm using... There is a one click root at the xda thread I will try it when I am back home |

QUOTE(alfredtwl @ Jul 27 2013, 03:38 PM) ya, the shop got display set. and the promoter show me the display. I was like ' WOW '  I'm still working now. so only can play after working time. btw Uncle Benny, the speaker totally turn me off if compare with my One  Speaker loudness cannot match Htc1 but not audio quality. Play with the sound settings in setting/sound n adjust to what you wish in the Walkman app |

QUOTE(Hertz96 @ Jul 27 2013, 08:36 PM) Okay, so bro, in your own opinion, do you think a ordinary screen protector is needed? I don't believe in using SP but for this phone no choice because the anti shatter film gets scratches easily |

QUOTE(silencer @ Jul 27 2013, 09:02 PM) Please add me in the user list for black color, was getting it at Ikano, and it's even come with the free gifts. I was surprised at first as the Sony store at curve refused to sell it before the release date on the first August. My sales receipt was purposely dated 1aug as they are not supposed to sell it earlier!! |

The writing using stylus so far I can only use pencil. It doesn't work with my old ballpen n plastic stylus
You can only use Sony keyboard n must select write mode n write on the pad. I see no point using it as it is too troublesome to invoke it. You need to write slowly to have accurate capture. I rate it hopeless to me.
At first I thought can just write straightaway on any note app without all these constraints

So far I would say only audio quality is soft though speakers. And this is main weaknes. Phone is excellent in all other aspects. Sound is quite similar to stock xperia z...... Hope to see pureX audio tweak as in XZ available soon

QUOTE(AbyssXII @ Jul 27 2013, 11:10 PM) Phonecall speaker have too much noise.is that true ? does ringtone loud enough when you got some call. Don’t seem to have any noise while receiving calls Phone speakers is generally soft like XZ You need to choose a loud Ringtone yourself. The default ones are all poor This post has been edited by benny888: Jul 27 2013, 11:31 PM |

QUOTE(joytest @ Jul 28 2013, 03:19 AM) Well I would say that was the first thing I looked out for ever since they started showing videos. @deddo kindly did the demo on failed palm rejection for us all yesterday, and IINM, he is the first person in the world to do it. Nobody else has picked up on this in the West since they haven't gotten their hands on it, and I think the HK review site only did conductive stylus testing without considering palm rejection either. Fail on writing as a gimmick, but otherwise useful as a smaller-than-7-inch-device. I do not think firmware will solve the palm rejection as it has to do with the digitizer hardware differentiating between 2 conductive areas. A Wacom digitizer can differentiate between the resonant stylus vs your body's resistance, and this is, IMHO, not present in the XZU digitizer. Thank you uncle for your resounding vote for the Note 2 stylus. Writing mode will not work even with a slight touch of your palm on the display. |

This is an update on battery usage. First of all, my phone was ONLY being charge using a Powerocks 12000mAh powerpack. I have yet to charge it using live AC till now. And phone was continually being charge while it was being used yesterday. I took off the charger at about 97% and than restarted the phone Battery I'd say is not yet fully being charged and optimised yet Phone was put on Stamina mode. This is the battery drain over 6+ hours lastnight with 3G on , GPS on ( forgot to disable it), WiFi off. I'd say the stamina mode is working very well as the drain is hardly 2% 
This morning testing : Browsing, checking mails, newsfeed, tweeter on 3G/H+ : Average 12-13% /hour battery drain Video playback ( HD video) using MX Player Pro : About 10% /hour |
