I'm comparing the standard Sony dock cable (which I dismantled) to charge the phone ... I have no problem with that... it is slow ... but the battery still charges

With the evilhomura89 cable .... I can see the battery going down even when the charger cable is connected. Which was my WTF moment!
*
my apologies in advance, i didn't know it was that bad
mayb it wasn't a good idea to continue the 2nd bulk considering the fact that the cable quality is not up to standard

New comparison:

Using the cable with direct charge from the power adaptor - the cable does charge.
When plugged into a USB port (which is built into my Sony notebook adaptor) ... it doesn't work as great ...

Conclusion: If you want to get @evilhomura89 cable ... always ... always ... use it with the power adaptor ... not a USB port

The weird thing was my original Sony cable was able to charge even when plugged into my USB port .... must be some magic Sony added to the cable tongue.gif

i guess what you pay is really what you get
the cable n dock is around RM150...that plastic dock is definitely cheaper than the cable

haha i used ipad charger, more faster

if i were you, i wouldn't do that
slow charging is better than fast charging

You should also know that aggressive charging will decrease your battery’s lifespan.  The gentler you charge and discharge lithium ion/polymer batteries the longer they will last and the higher their overall capacity will be.  It is also a very good idea to use the charger that your device came with (from its manufacturer), just because a charger fits does not mean that you should use it.

more info there due to more ppl using that phone compare to ours
i still like the exclusivity of this phone compared to that phone, or most sought-after phone currently out there

and since Z1 quite relied on accessories as well to make it a wholesome experience
on that matter, somehow we are lacking a bit due to lack of user owned those stuff here

p.s. i can be a TS, but dunno if i'm able to provide major feedback on rooting etc sweat.gif

u can always provide a guide from other source
i know xperiaguide.com and xda have quite a lot of useful info

i wan to ask question.....

does the magnetic dock charger included in the set/box when u buy it???
*
for the first few batches, yes
can tell from the box itself, it is bigger

as of now, i'm not so sure
i believe AP sets don't include the dock

Guys. Want to ask. Satugadget is selling ap sets at rm1878. With free gifts and 2 years warranty. No dock. Is it safe to get from them? I plan to have the phone delivered. Any advice?
*
hmmm...we can't comment on this cause none of us have dealt with satugadget before
i suppose the 2 years warranty is under the AP company and not Sony

i guess we're really used to it
perhaps the updates did decrease it by a lil

nonetheless without comparison, it's hard to notice the yellow tint

I'll say the SG version is very close and similar to MY version. It also does not have the bug of nfc icon not showing in the status bar.
And when I dial up the service menu, the fw version still is showing global version.
*
I think the firmware are mainly based on the global version
The differences is determined by the customization number..the customization also will determine the region for ur phone and whether it is a generic firmware or a specifically branded telco firmware
For Z1, I have yet to find anyone sharing all the available customization number and it's region/branding

For reference purpose, you can have a look at the Z customization number list - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2315914

Correct me if my understanding is wrong here...

So whenever Sony releases a new firmware, they get to decide which customization number will get the update first
So if you guys rmb during the early days of .257, it was the journalist/commercial customization number that got the earliest update. And those who decide to flash it manually ended up with the journalist/commercial version
