Sony Xperia XZ

[Calander]

the benchmark is impressive at 6 digits like ip7 note7 n s7edge, mayb software issues abit, but have u off all animation in developer mode?

Had just tried switching off. So far cant see any differences yet. Probably will see how it goes tmr.

Thnx for this tip!

Unlocking the bootloader will void your warranty, that's for sure. Flashing another country's stock firmware doesn't need the bootloader to be unlocked, but it still constitutes modifying the supplied phone software and you may be rejected if the service centre finds that it is not the Singapore firmware. But of course, you can always try to flash the phone back to Singapore firmware before sending it in for repair / servicing.

Any country's firmware will work, as long as the model is the same. Our dual-sim XZ model is F8332. For me, I flashed to the India firmware, only because I could easily find the 6.0.1 firmware online and it can be upgraded to Nougat. But the India firmware did come with 3 games that cannot be uninstalled and can only be disabled.

Its working ok so far for me. But the benchmark. On antutu drop to 110000plus only. Originally i remember 126000 and people can get as high as 140000 mayb its becos i got alot of apps or mayb becos nougat consume more resource??

Such benchmark scores are nothing but numbers, in my opinion. Real life use is more important. So far Nougat works great for me and I don't see a dip in performance compared to Marshmallow.

Last month my friend bought XZ here during business trip but recently found out there are small deadzone where the screen won't recognized any touches. Somehow still able to drag/slide like at home menu/app page. Anyone having the same problem? Got any solutions before asking my friend to send the phone to SG for servicing?

my wife XZ had hardware screen problems too.

her case was parts of the screen overly sensitive and registered phantom touches.

had to send to service center and it was ready for collection after 3 or 4 days.

Same here. Had to resort to landscape mode. Certain mobile web pages also couldn't activate the drop down bar. Wonder if it is because of my tempered glass. On a side note, some of my apps also cannot be moved into my home screen.

You might want to check your tempered glass as well. My current tempered glass got glue on the sides, causing a gap between the screen and the tempered glass. It might cause the screen to be not sensitive.

You might want to try turning on glove mode. See if still got problem or not.

Mine got no problem.

Maybe I should ask my friend to remove the tempered glass but need to find spare screen protector first...

Ok, will advice my friend to try that. Thanks.

My XZ seems to actually lags in performance, touchscreen and keypad responsiveness when it comes to bedtime regardless if it is charging.

Anyone experiencing similar issues?

Mine too. Whatsapp lags badly. Camera pales to my previous Samsung s4. Overheat warning periodically. What's happening Sony? 3 wks old unit.

one things which i found out is that the stamina mode has to be switched off. but not confident enough to say that this solves the problem yet.

i noticed that this overheat warning will occur only when using the camera? this was shown during the first few days of getting the phone but now is alright.

Stamina mode has a few options to choose, you can check the advanced setting in STAMINA mode.

1) Battery time preferred
2) Balance power saving
3) Device performance preferred

If you choose option 1, the phone will slow down considerably.
Option 3 should be like the last time STAMINA mode, phone performance same and only blocks background data.

I had this issue also, happened on the second day only.. lol!
By any chance is your friend's XZ also a forest blue one?

Confirmed have to send to service centre for repair. I tried all sorts of troubleshooting methods, factory reset, glove mode on, no screen protector (didn't have one in the first place).

When I sent it in for repair, the officer didn't even check the phone, like it was no surprise..lol.

I would say you can Google for mobilelite for Xperia accessories.

Good accessories and services if you are willing to fork out slightly more than what you pay for those in taobao or qoo10.

Thanks! I went to check their site out. Their clear casing looks great but would really prefer a flip case if possible. Do you know if they have a shopfront I can visit? Tried to find but doesn't seem like they have...

No, he doesn't have a shop front.

You're better off looking online (e.g. Qoo10, Lazada, Aliexpress) for cases. Not many local shops sell (nice) casings for Sony phones.
