not kidding la. my phone really cannot on now -.- fts full key ccb i really dulan dy. i dunno next phone still want get sony or not
and it only happened after i charge with the magnetic cable i recieved from ebay. i already send them email how to rectify the issue since the cable is the one that caused the issue. the seller themselves say and included a paper with the shipping "if unsatisfied, kindly approach us first before you leave negative review"
no offense la bro... but i don't think sony got any fault on this matter
unless you can prove the 2nd incident is the service centre fault, but that is still the fault of the guy servicing your phone.

nice. yeah we only "managed" to see one and it was in the state where it looks like a curled up ball of ash... really pengsan because the area was steep too
but the most amazing part in any rainforest trekking is the chance to see some super huge trees along the trail
not much huge trees for us, only spotted one haha. can stand like 4 or 5 people to cover the trunk.
we are considered very lucky according to the guide to be able to spot the 1 day old rafflesia. its located at a very steep hill. only 2 guys went with the guide and the rest stayed at the bottom to wait for news. the guide is kind enough to bring the whole flower down for us so we don't have to climb the steep hill

btw ZeneticX did you become the resident photographer because you are using the Z1
haha not really. got one guy with his ip5s, have to admit auto mode on iphone is still much better
another guy with a lumia 925 and nexus 5, but both of them not into photography so they just use auto mode all the way.
in terms of battery life, my z1 is the last to go down compared to ip5s, nexus 5, lumia 925 and also s3. i went out for the day with 75% in my battery, nexus 5 around 60 something if not mistaken. the rest is full i assume

One of the cooler things that went a bit unnoticed at this years CES was, without a doubt, Sony's all-new XSP-N1BT automotive stereo head unit. No, it's not exactly the most exciting name in the world, but Android enthusiasts may be snatching up this double DIN unit with great enthusiasm when it arrives in May for $250 for one reason: in consort with Sony's control app, it turns your Android smartphone into a touchscreen control unit for your car stereo.
The XPS-N1BT, as you may have guessed, does this via a Bluetooth connection, though initial pairing is accomplished quickly and easily via NFC. All commands and audio from your smartphone are sent over Bluetooth, though your smartphone is able to control the stereo's local playback functionality, as well, through the Sony app that will be available on the Play Store. Of course, you're not limited to Sony's app for simple audio playback - any app that streams audio over Bluetooth (eg, Google Play Music, Spotify) will work, just like any other Bluetooth-enabled car stereo.
The head unit will be compatible with most Android phones via the app (which will be on the Play Store), though if your device is substantially larger than the Xperia Z1 it may not physically fit in the clamp mechanism, so Note 3 and Z Ultra owners probably shouldn't be preordering just yet. That said, the docking action isn't required to control the stereo, it simply makes using the Sony control app's interface easier (and less dangerous on the road). The Xperia Z, Z1, and Z Compact (Z1F) will all be able to dock directly into a charging port on the stereo as well, using the side-mounted magnetic charging port those devices are all equipped with. Non-Xperia devices can charge via the external USB port on the head unit, which delivers up to 1.5 amps of charging power.
The stereo has a standard LCD face when your phone isn't docked in it, as well as a CD player, auxiliary input, and a rear USB input that can be routed to another location in your car, like the glovebox. There's also a microphone, routed through the rear of the unit, that you can then mount on your dash for voice commands and phone calls. Without the phone, the stereo is a fully functional, if odd-looking, head unit, and features most of the goodies you'd expect of Sony's high-end automotive stereos. As I said previously, the XSP-N1BT will go on sale in May for $250.
