of course..nothing beats wired headphone/iems. But I think MDR-100abn is a good headset which support both LDAC Bluetooth and wired . The problem with wired 100abn is , it sounds awful wired if u don't turn the headset on. The sound becomes dull, but when u turn on the headset and used the wired connection, the sound is soo different.

Used the MDR-100Abn on my iPhone 7 n I think it uses the AAC Bluetooth codec, sounds quite good.

Tried using the XZ with my XBA-A3 for wired, sounds quite good.

still playing around with the camera. So far its quite good.

This XZ really changed my perspective on sony phone

my previous sony was a Z3, the back and front glass panel shattered in 2 different occasion. got fed up with the sony phone after that

i usually use manual mode but auto settings

so just done software repair via PC Companion.
i think it's a bit better compare to before.

got SOT for 4 hours and still have 30% left.
with the same settings as before.

Did you managed to find out what could have been the cause of the issue

for the xperia sold in malaysia
by default the camera shutter is silent right?

after putting in the docomo sim card in tray 2(not even enabled), instantly you can hear the audible shutter and AF sound, no way u can turn it off

i knew its japanese regulations but never knew this feature can be "implanted" by sim card

Got sound wa...

Do everyone here having the double tap to work problem whereby the double tap to wake doesnt work properly, or just few of us? you have to tap multiple time to wake the display and some time it doesnt work at all.

I saw there is a person from XDA Forum (post #5)had the same problems and the problems totally gone after he/she replaced with a new unit. Now i am wondering if this is software or hardware problem.. Will send to sony centre to ask about it when i'm free.

It produces sounds but You can it turn on and off.

Never knew Japanese sim cards were that 'strong'.

japan mandates phones must have audible shutter sound to prevent perverts taking stealthily pics

sony is a japanese company, hence the firmware is built to recognize the sim card's country ID, and act accordingly

now I not sure if iPhone will have the same effect or not, maybe Chinese phones won't adhere

Yes, i know that mandatory rule.
But with XZ's speaker, it's pretty much useless since the shutter sound isn't loud.

mine one is Z5P
front speakers are loud

i'm not quite sure. but was thinking to send the phone to service center later.
are you also having an issues with the battery?

i am having this problem too. but not sure can get new unit or not if send to sony.

What Body Colour is the among choosen one?

I don't but I want to put it in Found Issue section. Let me know if you happen to know what could be the issue. Thanks

Can u please ask them about the double tap issue also if u visiting the service center later? and update here

Won't go wrong with Forest Blue

silver or black are... conservative color.

sure. will try to find out what's the issue.

haha alright. but i'm not sure when i'll be going. need to find backup phone first.

Just notice sometimes I am unable to receive phone call. Will try to change to wcdma only to see how it goes. Thanks for the tips. Double tap doesn't work all the time. I like this features but works around 50% only.

I think Z2 is the loudest phone with stereo speaker from Sony without Ericsson
