DK30 works with ZU, DK26 works with Z. Every dock got different size to fit specific phone. How come DK30 dock fit with Z

Exactly my point as well. I needed the data to be on all the time for my work email. Now I need to use 2G connection in order to conserve batt, just like how I did with my BB. Only during surfing/FB/tweet I'll change to 3G. See how it goes in a few days. Agreed that batteries need a few charge cycles until optimum performance.

If stil not good, I guess I just make a move to Note 2, or 3.  whistling.gif

Got consider note 2 as well when wanna go for new hp. But feel like too big for me and I still have feeling for Sony smile.gif

Well, I have no complain on SmartPhones Battery Life.

Almost all the SmartPhones has its own Pros and Cons on Battery Life.

So far Xperia Z / ZL has battery life of 3 to 4 hrs SOT. Thats depends on Usage. No argue on that.

As I been using ZL past couple of months, I am happy with what the Device performing..

I can achieve SOT 3 hrs plus based on 24 hrs Data On, Whatspps , SMS and Calls. Also I have disabled Auto SYNC on all Accounts used, I am only manually SYNC once a day..
*
before I go to work, I will charge it to the max. during work, i use it to make a couple of phone calls and occasional messaging. after work, I still got around 40%. back home, play some games and fb awhile and left around 15-20% and wait till next day for next charge.

I found that when stamina mode was on, the mobile data was off automatically most of the time unless you go switch your phone on again.

just use it for around 4 days, not sure yet the battery already reached its peak performance or not.

Just call Sony warranty center and give them your phone imei number and ask for the warranty status. If they said the warranty not exist then ask them how to register. If they check got warranty status then they will tell you the expire date of the warranty. You no need susah susah got the warranty center people help you then every thing easily settle.

Best photo quality is use normal mode. Set the settings from ISO (night,400-800), white balance (daylight all the time), Exposure level and Metering (center mostly). Adjust to ur preferred acceptable level.. Superior auto will capture indoor photo up to high ISO, and cause it a lot of noise.. U can check ur photo see.. i guess ISO of your photo around 640.
i try post 2 example at bottom. Sorry, 5MP quality.. forget to set higher.. Orange lighting is Normal mode, Brighter is Scene Night mode.

ISO play very much important at indoor and low light there.. lower = less noise. higher more grainy quality.

Indoor - ISO 200 - 400. Night (400-800). U will look dark in preview there. its ok. Focus set multifocus or single focus.
Superior auto mode gives me mix results of good and bad quality photos. Realize that it do have a lot of noise for indoor photos when there are no sunlight used.

Not sure why but sometimes my pictures looks soft.

But there are something that I quite like with its camera is its low light performance. Tried compared it with my friend Iphone 5 during KL Photography festival, we tried to snap a few photos of models there and found that my photos look brighter when we took the photos from the same spots. Tested it in a dark room with some light coming from outside. It managed to capture those dim lights and even the room (with some noise though) when I on the flash.

Anyone compared it with Lumia?

It seem can't on stabilizer when u manual the ISO in Sony camera app. When  stabilizer is turned on then turn the ISO to 100-1600, the stabilizer will turn off automatically.

Right now I prefer SuperCamera.apk because it captures lesser noise than stock camera app.

really that good? gonna download it and give it a try...

I think the battery is getting better after sometimes compared to 1st week of usage. At 1st, it can only last from 9 to 6. Now can from 9 to 9 tongue.gif
