oic.. emm if u use manual why the pic looks like 16:9 ratio? Did u limit it to only 8MP?

8MP got 4:3 and 16:9

i use 16:9 for landscape shots

I don't bother to ask my bro.

The LTE connection are between a tower with LTE transceiver and LTE phone, there is nothing to do with another equipment. If another LTE equipment located at the same area can connect to LTE, but only my phone can't, it's must be something wrong with the phone. I have 3 more LTE devices beside my phone.

bug fixes? if it is than it is really quick

most robably bug fix seeing not a big change is the numbers

well, i am not sure what exactly cause the problem. like i said i'm not a technical person. but i am working in the telco industry. that's y i know there r lots more equipment involved even when making a simple phone call than u think.

it's definitely phone related issue
sometimes u need to force it to actively search for the best connection...which will consume battery life i suppose

sometimes im not sure if it's a bug..but minor bugs like these are hard to fix..esp in android ecosystem
and mostly left unfixed if not many users are affected

My friend from NTT explained this to me a few hours ago: Its probably because your service provider is "running out of spectrum" and some unlucky users are forced to use the lower spectrum which provides the telcos distance and reach but lower bandwidth unlike those who are in the higher band when bandwidth is wider/higher but reach is less.

___________________

Which service provider are all of your LTE devices using?
They could be picking out certain numbers to be on low bandwidth, and maybe only your Z1's number is the unlucky one.

i am using maxis. but previously when i am using acro s and my gf using s2. there are some time when her s2 can get data signal but my acro s cannot. in this case i got the feeling that maxis is picking the brand of the phone maybe??? cause as i know there are definitely more s2 user than acro s. they can afford to drop the smaller number of acro s user but not the majority number of s2 user?

well, this is just my tots

So any ideas about two different dial tones I'm receiving? One has a normal tone to it while the other is a bit distorted twang. I'm a bit irritated with it but earphone test under service is great and so is the caller ringtone. It is not long distance or roaming call. It is because it is the same no and I even got it while calling a landline.

Hey guys i remember seeing a decal for z1 a while back ago for the back cover.

I was wondering whet can i get it??

Thanks!!

After using the z1 for almost 2 months now, here's my verdict:

From the camera to the battery, to the gaming performance and snappiness. Everything is amazing. Many complained about the thick bezel, oddly-placed buttons, even the viewing angles. But imo, those complains are insignificant. Well-known problems in lemon units like the yellow hue was never present in mine.

The only slight downside is, it gets a little bit hot after a few round of games and browsing (but which phone doesn't?), and the price.

My rating: 9.5/10

Kbai.

For me the color vibrancy and viewing angle are quite letdown la, at least for me la. But the heat issue, my previous HTC One X way hotter LOL

Anyway glad to see another satisfied Z1 geng

Sometimes when my phone get hot i just rinse it with water,wipe it clean then continue playing games lol...

Haha. Doing the same thing to my phone. But dare not submerge it in water yet.

haha... no idea

but dial tone u mean the "tut tut... tut tut..." that tone?

yeah is something like tut tut... tut tek... tek tek... tut tut...

Hi, I would like to ask from the z1 senior here.
I just got mine 2 days ago, I haven't done anything with it but only update it through the sony pc companion.
What happen next is my phone suddenly vibrate continuously before i decide to turn the phone off and turn it back on.
Any idea how to solve this vibration problem or anyone had encountered this before?
Thanks.

wah... that's weird... but u don't have this problem when hearing other people talking?

No problem hearing them. The earphone test is perfect. Though i do realize signal degradation from H+ to no data when the sound appears. Not sure if it is related. I change to purely 2G only still the same.
