just sharing:

1. Member Scottland of OcUK forums has given a great tip on how to get the Sony camera app to remember to launch in manual mode. Simply create a shortcut on your launcher or homescreen to the camera application and launch the camera via that. It seems that launching the camera from the hardware button or the lockscreen soft button results in it starting up in Superior Auto mode all the time.

hi guys,

sorry if im posting in the wrong thread, but i would appreciate it if someone could point me in the right thread or direction for my problem..

you see, ive recently bought the z3c, which is locked to a service provider. however i think i might have hard-locked it since ive put in wrong network unlock code more than 5 times when unspported sim is in it...to be honest i didnt know there's such thing as simlock counter in locked phones ("-_-)

so do u guys know any way to solve this?
thanks

i dont know how much is the cost to deliver all the way to malaysia but i think it should be worth it...

apparently the guys at xda-forum has managed to get the people at evolutive labs to make the rhino shield crash guard bumper for the xperia z3 compact!

evolutive labs did one for iphone previously and it got so many backers/pledgers for it...hopefully we can do the same for this one..so come and join in the fun peeps! they need to get 1400 pre-orders before they can start production of this wonderful thing :-D

(sorry you have to edit the link as i could not post url)

what stock firmware/build are you guys running on yr z3c?

23.0.a.2.105? 23.0.a.2.98?

oh i see, just want to share with you that xperifirm and flashtool are really nice tools for u to use if you would like to flash to the newer firmware, though at this stage if yr phone is working fine then there's no need to do that.

also, due to lack of changelogs for them, i dont know what kind of changes that have been made in the newer builds...
