hi guys, just out of curiosity. Right now Z1 already price dropped to RM1888. For Z1c is RM1699. Why not just top up a bit to get Z1 for a bigger screen? smile.gif

i think i'm speaking on behalf of all active members in this group that we want a mini-sized (screen less than 4.5"), high-specced, android based, super smartphone worth buying. if not, we wouldn't bother even talking about z1c, and flooding z1 tered instead.. right guys?

Just bought a SP at sony centre 1utama earlier, front & back, for rm49. Imported from Japan since it mentioned z1f at the pack, even the wordings are in japanese. They had some difficulty to determine whether the SP is clear/matte (it's clear). They said I'm their first customer buying SP, so the pack they opened was the very first wan. The guy even said thanks, they managed to find out what's inside coz of me lol. Very good imo, quite thick but I'm satisfied thumbup.gif
They have pink & lime z1c on display, I grabbed the chance to molest them hehe.. Pink very gooding wor, nice color indeed good job sony!

Oh and btw, brother salesman there said z1c msian version DIDN'T HAVE ANY HEADSET AT ALL. doh.gif doh.gif He said I'm lucky coz I paid less 100 sumore got earphone comes with the bundle.

hi guys, got a favor to ask. can somebody shed a light on this kitkat issue? rclxub.gif  rclxub.gif  i didn't quite understand all of it, but what i did pick up (i think? do correct me if i'm wrong) is this.

once u upgrade to kitkat:
1. all apps data that was previously stored in SD card will be lost.
2. any new app downloaded, the data can't be stored in SD card.
3. and if u managed to get it stored in SD card, u cant copy/move to any other folders u wish.
4. if u delete an app that saves its data in the SD card, the data/content will gone as well.
5. only the 1st party apps (stock apps) can write to SD card, 3rd party apps can't. (e.g. in xperia devices, we have stock File Commander app which we can use to copy/move files to SD card; however the File Manager app downloaded from google play won't be able to copy/move files to SD card)
6. so this means.. we can only use SD card to store photos and media files

The Sony center in LYP is not owned by Sony Malaysia but just an authorized Sony Center, so i think you cannot claim rebate points or add warranty.
you have to go to major store like The Curve, KLCC, Mid Valley.

fixed.

so far no one went to check out what Sony@Curve has to offer?
you guy s that bought from KLCC, rm1699 right?
*
Sony the curve is also the same. 1699, no other offers or bundles fyi. And I suspect the package over there comes with cheap mh410c earpiece, coz there's a guy buying the lime set and I saw the earphones. He also bising saying sony so cheapskate tongue.gif

yea man, I went there (Curve) last night with the gf to to check, no offer - "new item bro, no discount - phone only". They had all four colours on display though, btw - they do have some sort of sales, tablet Z going at 1,199 (drop from 1,499) laugh.gif

so is it confirm that the Sony at LYP is offering at 1,599 (after nego nego)? If confirm then will go there buy since can extend warranty there..

I also asked directD about warranty extension - no such thing as extension, only standard one year laugh.gif
*
if u buy ap set at directd u'll get 2 years warranty brows.gif

Im using lime color and noticed that there is small gap at top right corner front screen, seems like the screen is not fit perfectly. Although it not a problem because ive dunked phone into water but just little disappointed with the finishing. Anybody had similar issue?

QUOTE(NightFelix @ Mar 27 2014, 10:18 AM)
Got photo? hmm.gif

yep i got that as well. it's like the whole screen is pulled down a bit, revealing a bigger gap (as circled in red) than below picture i found on the internet. and somehow the gap on the right (highlighted yellow) is a tad broader than at the corner left. dunno if it's the same for anyone else though. but i didn't pay much attention to it since it's still waterproof..

make sure dont put ur phone in water bro. but if u willing to do experiement like me why not? hahaha

Guys, the 2nd day after I bought my z1c I brought this little beast to Langkawi. Dipped it, hell I even swam with it for a good 10 minutes while recording 720p video in the open sea. It worked perfectly well and even with all the seawater & sand bugging the screen, it didn't even show any noticeable lag. So I guessed en_mizi's z1c must've been a faulty set. So sorry to hear that, best if u send it to Sony Centre soon.

imo 4.4.2 is already near perfect. no need to root, plus sked dowan warranty void tongue.gif

Yes, on the left corner, there is a gap for you to pry with your nails. I'm just wondering whether it is fully closed. Don't dare to test with water. laugh.gif

When I press it, it moves slightly, but it can't go in any further.

@Tomei, perhaps you can upload a shot of your imei tag and show how far inside it should slot in.
*
i'd say thats fully closed coz the flap & gap in ur pic is somewhat almost identical as mine, and i've dunked mine in water many times edi and still works perfectly.. but dont take my word for it, celup it in water urself tongue.gif

Devilcase

sos cili

in term of design, devilcase is superb no doubt about it rclxms.gif
the only plus point for kewers is that they made the case covering the bottom speaker and channeling it to the front side which in my experience works very well and the sound clarity is clearer, louder as well nod.gif
