If you want emoji, try smart keyboard. The bad thing about swiftkey is dn hv chinese input
Go about phone > keep tapping on android version

Been using Z1 for a day now after successfully 'cut-over' from my GN2. Battery life is as good as GN2 IMO. Running for 24 hours uncharged and still left 10%, with 3G on and browsing FB, twitter, instagram etc. Feels very snappy and overall response is real fast.. Using Niikin SP and case and it feels great.. And waiting for my magnetic charging cables to arrive..

It does heat up faster than GN2, and I do feel the 'hole' which the indicator light is located could be a potential 'dust collector' if constantly put inside the pocket. Yes, mine is a 'lemon' device but its not a big fuzz to me which many forumers were hotly talking about this in the previous thread. As for camera, I think needs some time to play around with it as it is not so useful for noobies (tried a simple shot at night with auto setting and lots of 'noise' occur). Wish the magnetic dock cable could be longer as it cant reach to the power socket.

Woopss.. I think i mentioned more 'cons' and 'pros'. haha.. But seriously speaking I am quite happy with the phone now. Being a Sam user from S2 to GN2, it was a good platform change after all. If there is a wishlist I could put, I wish Sony will solve the 'lemon' problem, then I would be a serious happy camper.

Maxis gave me talkmore 48 with 3gb data for RM96. Maybe you guys can try this with maxis.

Finally bought the Z1 today, purple set at Sony Centre, Plaza Merdeka, Kuching. My first impressions:

- OMG what a beauty! all of these internet review & stock photo never do this phone justice! it has to be seen by real naked eyes & physically hold the unit to appreciated it!
- it doesn't weight as heavy as i though, evenly distributed among the size, using the keyboard to sms is a lot better now on 5inch screen coming from the Ray, in fact it still cant be hold comfortably in 1 hand for daily operations.
- wish camera & power button could be bigger.
- music playback with internal speaker not as loud as ZR even though ZR is much higher waterproof rating...sound quality better than Tablet Z (based on my recent Sony gadget purchased). i believe ring/call sound is satisfactory.
- decent camera only feel warm quite fast after few shots.
- NO yellow tint detected! screen is normal with a little on the warmer side just like Tablet Z quality. easy on the eyes.
- washout display? i dont think it's that much of a problem anyway....too exaggerated by some people. i dont know if they always look at their phone tilted at 10-15 degrees angle. whatever floats your boat...

what's next?
- after i got connected there's an update already LOL but i dont do it yet, still taking my time to read the 1st page on what should i do.
- root the phone!
- this would be my 2nd phone for whatsapp & facebook on the go as i plan to get Maxis sim for it. currently using it wireless.
- act as camera first, phone later

Sony, truly making me believe again
I got a big box with dock bundled. other offers are 8GB memory card, back cover & lousy front sp, bought the Sony powerbank 3500mah for 89 PWP. Asked whether cradle for Tablet Z is in stock but seems like the product never existed....c'mon i've been waiting for months!

Any easy payment plan for this phone?? Which telco?

That is the manufacture issue, Sony can't proper control in auto mode, that already lost don't care how great they are.

No point comparing in manual adjust as that is not what most user will do and it defeat the purpose of phone camera for easier usage point and shoot.

Want to ask rooting job easy?
Stock rom remained.

Just bought a black set... It seems the screen having yellowish hue... :-( ... First five digit of the serial number CB512... I guess serial number start with BH has been sold out right?

Currently using note 3. Is it worth to chge to z1?

Benefit?
And other than losing spen what needs to consider?

Got fed up with samseng touch wiz. Looks cartoonish.
And z1 camera sounds so promising.

Use dash clock app

someone better compile all those settings to make those damn nice photo
seriously i jelly...since i much lacking photography knowledge...only snap pics in Auto

Hey, anyone getting a case for your z1? Recommendations?

I am planning to get the Simplism ulta thin cover from a fellow forumer...

How about case mate?

Bro, mind to share where did you get the simplism cover from?
I got my unit from Sony Store. Yes, they did to tap the nfc then only give us the guide book...
