My Z1 batt back to normal now. (almost 2 months having problem dropping from 30% to 1% while browsing)



Cost
Batt = RM70 (made by LG, original in phone made by Sony)
middle seal = RM15
back cover (with seal) = RM30 - if back seal only Rm15.

have to change the back cover too because the camera lens already scratches.

I change the battery.

But Z5. If want to replace with Z5 compact, for me, it's like downgrading already.
That why I go for Z5P.

I bought my Z5P at RM2419 only. Original Sony Malaysia set.

From lazada.. on year end sale last month. (discounted price + voucher)

very easy, easier than ZL.

need to buy middle seal and back cover seal (3M) to maintain the waterproof.

flap can easily get from lelong or sony.

camera blurry only cause by back cover like mine.

mine when remove the back cover, the pic really sharp.

Updated my Z1 using OTA 2days ago. During the new firmware installation, i just keep it in my bag for few hours, don't want to wait cos I driving. When I take out, the phone is extremely HOT. I notice the battery drop from 90% to 50%. After shutdown and recharge to full, the phone back to normal.

Already running for 2 days in standby mode and battery still have 94%. Estimated 4 days 22 hours battery time left... greats.

My Z1 use by my son. Yesterday he told me can't charge. I try myself, when charging using micro usb port, the screen show Sony logo for less than 1 sec, then goes blank, LED show red, few minutes later, it's happen again. So the same process repeated for hours. Try using off button near simcard doesn't work. Seem like the battery is totally dead and won't charge.

Then I read in XDA, need to charge using magnetic charger or dock. Lucky I have both. 10 secs after charge using magnetic charger, viola, battery is charging, I can see 1% on screen. swap back to micro usb, charging continue like before.

Now I wish my Z5P also have same magnetic port.

I already keep in drawer the dock and magnetic charger. Most of the time use micro usb, the flap already gone anyway.

Same thing happen to my wife ZL few months ago. I have to open the back cover and remove the batt. With batt unplug, I connect phone to usb and then plug the batt back. Phone is OK until now. I going to do the same way for Z1 but not easy as ZL, so decide to find another way. Lucky found the info in XDA.

With magnetic charger, at least have 2 ways to charge and proven that port is still useful to revive a dead batt.
