Well depending on the price they'll offer it at I guess.
But I heard that it's going to be 500 / 1k above the original Z1 price.
Or maybe they take over z1's price.

Cause my microphone is already muffled when i talk into it.
So thought of changing it, and give it to my mum or something.

Thanks for the info  thumbup.gif

Wouldnt it be nice if they allow trade in with z1 for z2? thumbup.gif thumbup.gif

I'm using magnetic cable.
With 27% battery remaining, and fully charged requires 3hours (with wifi turned on). Is this consider normal?
Or maybe if using dock is way more faster?

when I use stamina mode two days ago, my phone only dropped 1% for whole night but after that, it dropped 30% every night. Anyone got idea how to check the prob? I didnt install any apps or modify the phone.

Maybe is because of the latest firmware update?? Did you download any apps recently?

You can update your Xperia phone software by download the "Sony Update Service" software.

Click below link to direct the webpage
Sony Update Service

Once you have download it, install and follow the following steps.

You can update your latest Xperia Software without hiccups. Some might experience difficulty when using Sony PC Companion.

*Currently updating my Z1 Compact" to 14.3.A.0.757. The file is HUGE.. 995.3MB!!!* Definitely cannot via OTA.

Thanks, hv been waiting for alternative to sony companion (which happened to be always crashed on my laptop for no reason rclxub.gif rclxub.gif )

If buy AP, is really depends on your luck whether you get a GOOD set or not. Warranty is another issue that you should worry.

So, its really your choice. nod.gif

i think buying electronic stuff regardless ori or AP also depend luck liao 1  sweat.gif

Maybe. but I have to disagree though.
If every purchase depends on luck, then there is no need for quality control anymore and no need to differentiate AP and original warranty+price, might as well sell at pasar malam. sweat.gif

Warranty is part of the difference. However you insinuated that AP have no quality control.

The general perception is that Ori have an advantage over AP in sense that warranty as part of after sales services is better. However I can say that some after sales services is way shittier than AP.

AP phones comes from the same factory as Ori phones. The difference between them is how they arrive. Original comes through official channels and exclusive distributors. AP are phones that are originally meant for other countries that managed to be subjectively brought into Malaysia. That's why sometimes you see phones with other carrier logos like 3, Vodaphone, Verizon etc. Additionally phones are region locked, only unlocked when inserting the SIM of the particular country and registering with its local network for the first time, which of course could be bypassed.

As mentioned, hardware is the same seeing it comes from the same factory(ies) I bought 2 z1s. One ori and one AP. No difference in quality and performance. As I've bought from this particular shop for ages, I trust them to honor their warranty.

When it comes down to decision, it's up to your personal discretion. How comfortable are you with AP warranty in case shit does go wrong. *touch wood*

Exactly, that's the point im trying to make. Thanks for the clarification. Still more to learn from you guys notworthy.gif notworthy.gif

Gosh ...

I sent my brand new unit to claim for warranty early this week. Their service center in pj is sucks, now waiting for replacement unit 

Suspect after repaired, they didnt seal the fon nicely. I tested the water proof ...phone dead  doh.gif

Test water proof feature in front of them then only collect. LOL

After .757 update, my phone auto reboot two times for no reason~ Perhaps UPDATE also depends on luck hmm.gif

LOL.i dont think firmware bug is some kind of market strategy for z2. In fact, it will affect user experience of SONY phone and further lose their market. sweat.gif

I myself experienced auto close for two times after the update.

But overall the device now have better battery life and no more speaker issue. I personally think should give credit for the update instead.

At least better than some z2 unit's physical defect right? whistling.gif

Hope you don't get my message wrongly. Z1 all a solid phone to get more of you are in a budget. I am still enjoying it everyday and have no plans to change phone anytime soon.

Z1 compact only smaller screen and battery.

Agreed. All those defects mentioned here merely case to case basis.

I like almost everything about my z1. thumbup.gif thumbup.gif
Although not zero defect, but is hard to find a phone with zero defect nowadays, even s5 have camera problem also~ rclxub.gif

Its really depends on you~ Wait for another week.might be cheaper wink.gif

Has anyone try to flash with paranoid android? Does this rom compatible with 4.4 Kitkat? What are the benefit and risk of doing so?

And I dont know how to install the smart call handling in this thread. Can anyone list down the steps? Your help is greatly appreciated. *bow*
