well actually its not the fastest of all the other phones when u wan compare... i think it was one of the slowest http://www.phonearena.com/news/Sony-Xperia...ry-life_id60955

check the charging time table and compare it yourself


would have been nice if sony implement fast charging... but since battery life is good i can deal with it..

Rapid charging / Fast charging will kill battery even faster...

Sony charger 1.5A only

Here is it.

You are sure selling ur z3??

tqvm. >40k. good.

I think Z3 has mute/unmute problem.. this morning when I went for meeting with my clients I mute my phone.. all is well, but when I set to unmute my phone, the ringing and notification is back to normal but the Games and media is shown mute..

Anyone facing this problem? please share how to fix it.. thanks..

Already bought copper Z3 earlier so yeah letting it go

lets me report my battery usage....from 7.00am till now 11.00pm battery still left 55%...just light to moderate usage...screen on time about 3 hours...sony did really tell the truth that battery can last 2 days...i already impressed...

thx bro, might re-open if got buyers for MOQ

That is one of the problems of android iinm. Android have a few different sound group. 1 for media and games, another for notifications and incoming call ringtone and another one for alarm.

If you look at volume under settings>sound>volumes, you will notice there's 3 different volume there. That's why, when you change the volume when you are at home screen, you will be changing the notification sound but not the game/media. I learned this the hard way where i was bored during the lecture and tried to play a game when my phone was in silent mode. Once the game load, the game music is on full volume.

The same can happen the other way. When you are in game, the volume that you change is independent of the notification volume.

As for the fix, I don't really know how to fix it. Hope google will address this part of it as it is very inconsistent.

I see.. thanks for the info.. I rebooted my phone and it solves the problem.. I guess need wait for next patch to fix this issue

Hm, I guess it depends on context. The 3 volume groups work good for me.

For example, on my phone (just an Xperia S, not Z). The music/media volume is always silent, but the ringing/notification is not. So when I load games, it doesn't blast anything. And I can still hear notifications and ringing which is set to lower volume. The alarm volume is much higher (so I can wake up and hear it ).

Android somehow has this smart volume management, which is quite impressive for me. When I plug in my earphones, automatically the music/games volume is turned up and I can hear/listen to music/games immediately. Once i unplugged my earphones, the music/games volume is back down to silent.

When in the middle of a game, pressing the volume buttons will change only the game/music volume. So later if you exit the game, your ringing/notifications volume won't suddenly be blasting or too soft.

Typically pressing the volume buttons in any non-game/music app or on homesecreen will change the ringing/notification volume but not the rest. This is great, because if I increase the ringing later if I load any music or games it won't suddenly start blasting them in the office.

So imo, the different volume settings works well and not a bug.

Yes I agree with what you say, but sometimes I don't remember whether my media/games volume is on max when i wanted it to be silent. No way to close it other than opening a media/games app and close it.

All in all, I just want a way to make the phone fully silent.

Ah ok. Well by default my media/games volume is always silent unless I plug in my earphones, so it's not a problem for me. I just want to point that due to our different usages, I don't consider this as a "bug" that needs fixing, rather a good feature.

Well you can also change that by accessing the Settings -> sound -> volume but that will be a bit hassle.

There's probably an app for it if you look.

Just sharing a snap from my Z3
