the original sony dock doesn't charge too.

one question......can the apps be installed into the sd card??

UPDATE:

Not sure any of you remember but here is an update on my replacement Z1. Went to the service center after getting a call telling me that the replacement phone has arrived. Waited for about 30mins for them to do paper work b4 getting the replacement phone. Once i got it sat down and tested it extensively at the service center. I noticed that the screen is a little bit more yellowish compared to my current 1. Inform the service center girl that the screen on this is yellowish. She did a test and confirm yes it is yellowish and will go and get me another 1. This time they did a s/w update and it seems the screen went even more yellowish that the last. So she went back and got another 1 this time no s/w update. It could not even turn on! Did a s/w update and still yellowish. They have must brought out 3-4 Z1 and all of them have the yellowish screen with /without the update.

They told me that this are the 2nd batch of Z1 that Dynamics sent to them and it seems they are more yellowish than the first batch and worst after the .257 update.

By that time it was already 6.30pm and I could not call the call center as they were already closed. The service center frontdesk suggested that I wait for their parts and tools to arrive so that they can fix my NFC. I reluctantly left empty handed.

This morning called the call center and spoke to the manager that was assigned to my case and he promised to have the service center to order a diff batch and test the screen b4 calling me to collect. So looks like i need to wait another week.

I actually quite happy with the phone my first Sony smartphone. So far customer service has been OK but i really pray that the next batch will not have those awful yellowish screen.

Sorry for the long essay thought i update u guys on this.javascript:emoticon(':)')
