i just flashed the stereo speaker mod on my z1. so far so good, no issues

edit: been testing the sound, this mod is awesome! not only it adds the stereo speaker, but listening via earphone, the bass and clarity have been improved as well. Highly recommended! thumbup.gif thumbup.gif thumbup.gif

mine drop totally from 58% to 0%... damn!!!

was playing COC at the time..

COC really mess up my z1 batt...regret playing COC

300++ to change the batt doesn't seem worth it..better i spend RM999 for Z3 under Umobile plan..
*
I don't think it's cause by coc. I played many games and coc is one of the game that consume less battery

Before coc my phone can last almost full day...

With coc, batt will kaput in the 2nd half of the day..

COC is the only game installed...

Sky force even worst..uninstalled it already..
*
Not sure why then... I am playing transformers legend, angry bird transformers, coc, swamp attack and Ice age village.... Among these I notice coc drain battery the least.

Even with gaming, I usually can get sot of around 3 hours, just enough to last me till the end of the day.

is it just me or everyone dislike sony provided email app? it is pretty slow compare to gmail app... and it does not have your frequent contact email showed when you try to add them in your new email...
*
i did use the email apps cos it allows me to setup both my gmail and yahoo mail in the app. but i seldom check email using my z1. still prefer to check email via my laptop.

so, when composing new email, as soon as i type in several alphabets, it will automatically show those email address that have those alphabets. similar to when we type a few number in keypad, it will show those contacts with those number.

hi,

how you guys think about the camera of this Z1? I dont believe Sony delivering the good camera function on this smartphone. The picture outcome was awful and beyond terrible and i cant believe that the premium smartphone can be this horrible.

My 3gs iphone takes better picture and look good compared to xperia Z1.

below was the sample taken by iphone 3gs and xperia z1 with both with auto mood. no modding. have a look at the light exposure, i cant believe it. any u guys have recommendation to fox this or only by FW update?
*
yes, this is beyond terrible. i think there's something wrong with your camera lens.

Well, this is quite a bummer coming from ex-iPhone user. Most of the time I will read directly if the notification comes but there are times I accidentally clear all my notification and I forgot to read my messages.

I am asking this as I saw Samsung phones do support this feature and wondering why Sony does not support this at all?
*
i'm using nova prime launcher and it does support the unread badge for whatsapp

what the usual time taken to fully charge a 10% Z1 using magnetic?
*
if the cable is good, it should fully charge your phone in 3 or 3.5 hours. roughly the same as microUSB cable.

i had bad experience whereby the magnetic cable charges my phone very slow after about 3 months using it. it's like whole night (6 hours at least) only charges 10-20%. if you experience such similar situation, you might want to change to another cable and see if the magnetic cable is faulty

U guys know where to get the decent magnetic charger?

No. I used 2 magnetic cable b4 and both suffer the same fate, extreme show charging after 2 or 3 months use. Now I'm still happily using the Ori magnetic dock.

mine dont have bundled dock charger cry.gif
can show us who the seller? maybe i want to order mine too
oh wait..u ordered from ebay? sweat.gif

mine charges damn slow after 3 months use. it's like whole night only charges 10-20%. really pointless to use that cable anymore. And also, i think it cause some power unstable with my phone. my phone keep hanging almost on daily basis that time. i tried factory reset and reflash the rom. still no cure and i tot that time was hardware fault. later i got fed up and stop using the slow charging magnetic cable, my phone return back to normal. no more hanging or so.

Which FTF to flash if we want to get Android 5.0 (or maybe 5.1) ASAP?  tongue.gif
Won't harm our phone even change firmware version right?
*
sony have not yet release the official android 5.0, but is expected this month, or next.

u can only get android 5.0 from those custom ROM as of now. you can search for custom rom from XDA

http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z1

but do know what u r doing and the risk involved when flashing custom rom

nice timing im about to format my phone later

because i have no idea why my phone behave like this;
when open camera apps, within a few seconds my phone turn off (with proper shut down) and 0% on battery
[attachmentid=4406348]
last i saw its on 80% batt left shakehead.gif

it seems my phone cant do heavy tasking
same problem goes to gaming. at 50% sure phone will shut down, but in proper way (shutting down, its safe to remove card etc etc)
checked my batt health using CM battery doctor, all ok sweat.gif
*
then same case as mine. but mine not as serious as yours. usually i experience the sudden shut down at 30% battery level. like u, if i play games at around 30%, after awhile my phone will just shut down cos of battery empty. can't power on unless i charge my phone.

from my experience, this is a sign that our battery has worn off and needs to be replaced. however i am still having a slight hope that a factory reset may solve the problem. but i am reluctant to do so now seeing lollipop update is on the horizon.

if after update and factory reset still having same problem, i'll get the battery replace then
