New camera sensor.might be included in z4 ( i hope so)

hmm... in that sample pic, they are comparing a 3.2MP pic to a 21MP pic... 

Guys. Just for sharing. My phone got lcd damage. Since its warranty is finish this october, search good reputation repair shop at lowyat forum and find repair shop name "ifix" . So i send to IFIX shop branch at subang. Cost me RM550 since the reputation is good so i accept it. 3 day later got my phone back. Day 1 after i got my phone, wifi signal so low even 1 meter away from hotspot will drop the connection. Day 2, i find out primary microphone is not function, send to that shop again and they don't want to responsible and accuse me back. They quote me RM80 just for the part only no manwork  cost. Now day 5 my digitize is not function half of the screen. Very disappointed with this IFIX shop! Send to Sony services center next week. Don't believe other phone shop anymore. oh one thing i forgot to mention, they didn't use XPERIA Z1 adhesive to stick the screen back, they use super glue and 3M double tape!! When i ask them back why not use Z1 adhesive, they said they fix iphone with 3M double tape too and no problem. I ask them if use 3M d/t how to retain xperia z1 waterproof function? They simply said Z1 waterproof meh? iphone also use adhesive why not waterproof leh?? Me said sohai this people.

So they say..

in another thread, the waterproof phone (Z2) was repaired due to water leak into the phone, the owner went back and test it in water, and the phone spoilt again and went for warranty again.

Putting handphones into water is just asking for trouble, it may be waterproof today, one day the seals may fail and bye bye phone.

btw. this has not been mentioned elsewhere..

if there is a leak, and it doesnt affect the main components (ie.. the battery and the power ic) yet you still can use like normal. it doesnt means that rust wont set in and damage the board in the future.

just my opinion. Sony has ald acknowledge the failure of the flaps and are doing away with it on the Z4

   

i too have wash my z1 countless time under running tap and soak in water maybe couple of times. still good and running

and many are claiming the waterproof feature on xperia are just gimmicky... 

wow... just flashed this torch boost mod. i just flashed the medium one and now my torch is blindingly bright!

also updated the stereo speaker mod and PS4 support mod in OP post 10

the cable got issue? mine if plug into computer de usb port also can charge like normal.

Anyone tried to chg the phone battery? Battery performance is getting worst after 1 yr...

do you know how much is the cost ?

wah     

has anyone experience battery level drop suddenly? when my Z1 battery reaches 30% all of the sudden it drops to 0% and phone totally dead (no battery juice @ all) is it something got to do with Battery Stats or need to bring to Sony Center?

Oh ok, damn still broke after Japan trip n now this.. haiya.. if changing battery cost me 300++ Rm, better trade in the phone to to new one..

Will be missed the camera and IP58 

Thanks

But often use power bank would it reduce the battery life?

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!     

What about a RM100 power bank?

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?
