QUOTE(unknowngenius @ Nov 29 2013, 01:28 AM) Anyone here using AP set (which magnetic cable and dock not provided)? Is charging through the opened flap (micro usb) a hassle? Any probs so far? I was thinking m40+ for a magnetic cable isn't worth it. although not necessary, but it will be much easier to charge it using the dock or magnetic cable. once u got used to the dock, trust me, u won't go back charging using the micro usb anymore. it is so much more convenient, especially charging thru the dock. also, always opening and closing the flaps, it will become loose and worn off faster and may risk water damage to the phone. |

QUOTE(mkabw90 @ Nov 29 2013, 01:33 PM) how do you know if the phone got yellowish screen? Most of the time you can only know it when you do a side by side comparison with other phone. |

QUOTE(mkabw90 @ Nov 29 2013, 01:50 PM) hmm...but i dont think it's a big problem..compared to my previous phone which has camera defect and speaker problem..btw,any tips on improving battery life? if u only notice the yellowish screen only when comparing side by side with other phone, then i can say it is not serious at all. in fact i think this is quite common for lcd screen as different screen will have slight variation in display. i've seen some forumer complain even nexus 5 and fruit phone got such yellowish issue. switch on battery stamina mode and white list the most frequently used apps. this really save battery life when the phone is in idle mode.

QUOTE(jianng @ Nov 29 2013, 02:23 PM) sound=because of waterproof screen=because of tft correct me if wrong sound because of waterproof is a weakness, not a problem. because of the waterproof feature, the speaker quality are somewhat compromised. but for me, in terms of loudness, it is alreay quite loud. only the clarity. but i just mod the beats audio onto it. have not really tested how's the quality now. screen is also another weakness la... and the only thing bad about this tft is the viewing angle... it just depend on you how important the viewing angle meant to you. some mind some don't i tot when u said problem is like alot of spoilt unit, defective unit... |

QUOTE(lilzany @ Nov 29 2013, 02:55 PM) where else can we get a waterproof with an audio jack open and speaker that doesn't get soft after its wet...so much better than the Z in a way. i find the ringertone is very loud too. no problems being at the other room having some loud music and still hear it rings yup. like i said, loudness is not a problem at all, to me la. only the clarity, when using loudspeaker, quite difficult to hear other person talking cos the voice not clear enuf |

QUOTE(teej @ Nov 30 2013, 12:57 AM) Hi there, I got my xperia z1 early this month, and really loving it! But these couple of days the touchscreen seems to be getting weird, especially when I'm doing swiping styled messaging, it's like it'll cut off half way and continue randomly again... in which it's just like this video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oj1P0X12r_A#t=64it is still usable, but sometimes it gets a little frustrating when it's acting out weird... does anyone seem to be having the same problem?? I'm just wondering if it's a software or hardware issue... would be a pain if it was a hardware issue and have to send it back for repairs... I encounter this problem one in a while. And only if my phone is lying flat. It's a very rare case for me. I remember another user reported his problem is more frequent and serious. Can't remember who tho... I think it's a hardware problem cos not many people reporting this problem also. |

QUOTE(diaBoliQu3 @ Nov 30 2013, 11:36 PM) Guys, usually seller sell along with dock charger or not? It was said first batch of z1 only comes with the dock. Not sure how true is this. But until now I think the dock is still included as part of the phone package. You might wanna double check with the seller when making the purchase. The box of the phone is bigger than usual ones if the dock is included inside. |
