Anyone noticed that it's faster to charge the phone using the Micro USB charger compared to the magnetic charger ?

Yes, even my car charger charges faster. However, there's apparently a reason to this as it is mentioned here. Slower gives better quality charging, and there should be no better quality charging than what comes with the device and a charging feature of the device. Essentially they're giving the choice for you to charge faster or quality charge wink.gif

guys, how to disable LTE but enable the usual 3G?
the reason is because LTE signal is weak so I don't want the phone to waste unnecessary battery juice just trying to keep connected to LTE

i tried the WCDMA/GSM mode but it doesn't work and it won't connect to H/H+ at all..not even EDGE..
*
You can install this. It gives you a lot more network settings choice than the stock Z1 settings, and easily accessible in small apps. You have LTE only, HSDPA+ only (WCDMA only) and a lot more which have been super useful for me for so long now thumbup.gif Using maxis btw and working flawlesly

what do you mean? yes, the sample 2 looks the worst of all. no need to compare side by side also know it's very very bad. even if 1020 and note3 took better photo, but it's kinda ridicules that z1 produce such photo which is so far off...

i tot taking 20mp pic should result in more details? what about the other 2 photo? u mean the other 2 are not cropped?
*
That's why Sony got "Pet" scene in the manual options. No biggie. This is just full auto, of course there are processing optimizations in the respective manual settings. In real life, there's no one camera setting for all scenes, even for DSLRs, you need to tweak for best result wink.gif

Forgot to mention I already bought CP-F1LS yesterday Sony KLCC at 50% right after I received the Xperia Privilege offer rclxm9.gif Was probably the first to take up the offer there since the assistant there was quite blur of this offer's existence. Why are most of Sony's staff so blur? Lol.

just called Sony Mobile Communications @ Tel: 1-800-88-7666

about the promo.. the lady donno anything at all doh.gif

direct me to Customer Interaction Centre (CIC) @ Tel : 1300-88-1233 (Within Malaysia)

and ask me to refer back to the previous hotline no. i was being polite and the lady was kind enough to check for me.
for those who wants to get the promotion, please head to KLCC or the curve. confirm they will honor the promotion.

but not for all the BS Sony Center outlets. their reply to customer is totally crap.

1. We haven't received any direction from Sony on this.
2. We don't have the promotion stock to give this offer, even though they have stock.
3. Please go to Sony Store if you want to get it fast.

i believe they will lose $$$ if they sell their existing stock for 50% discount. Thats why they pretend donno only.

i got one sony center just 5 minutes away, and you want me to travel all the way to KLCC or the Curve to get it..Siao meh!!

what about those that are not within Klang Valley area? makan sendiri lo......
*
Just go there and show them the list of participating outlets from your Z1, the list comes with the Xperia Privilege offer you received wink.gif They can't say no once they see their outlet is in that list

Check your Xperia Privilege app for the offer. You should have it or you might have to update the app first. If you have it, you're eligible

Don't think so. It is just that the camera can do burst mode faster if use internal memory. My Micro SDXC only writes at about 15mbps I think. Going to get higher speed card if this sandisk confirm broken.
*
Cannot be any faster, because it's fixed that you get 61 frames in 2 secs for timeshift burst, done it many times already with my 64gb micro SDXC, still get 61 frames to choose from 2 secs of shots.

I saw some comparison reviews..seems like not detailed as expected. And I went senq..just auto setting..snap the surrounding..so surprised on the grainyness when I pinch to zoom. Even close up of the senq price sheet also very grainy.
*
If it looks so bad, then probably the lens is smudged. It shouldn't look too bad for the layman's eyes, and fingerprint smudged lens can make pics turn out really bad. Those comparison reviews are looking at full auto, filtering out the wealth of manual options Z1 has, so not very fair for all the effort Sony has gone through to cram such a big sensor into such a thin phone

WTA whats the best settings for the camera if i want to take pics in a concert ?

Never tried it. What kind of concert? I would try these Scene settings in this order:

1) Night Portrait
2) Handheld Twilight
3) Party
4) Fireworks

Don't think I'll be attending any concerts soon, so hope you can come back and share with us which one works best brows.gif
