PACE Router rebooted

Hi all,

Previously I have posted about the above issue and despite got the Router replaced, the problem still persist.

I called Singtel again just now and they told me they are doing another firmware update. This will take awhile.

I will update here again for the benefit of those affected, if the problem is truly solved.

Thanks...

MicroSD expandable to 32GB or 64GB? I read on the net, 64GB works. Anyone?

For the bros who have invested in a microSD card to store HD content on the phone, especially full length movies, you may have been disappointed to find that you can only format the microSD card in FAT32, thus having the 4gb filesize limitation which a lot of HD files far exceed.

However, I chanced upon this mod at XDA which actually allows you to format your card to exFAT: [MOD] exFAT support for Xperia Z(non-Japanese verisons) - xda-developers

Now I can throw everything on my 64gb microSD without any limitations.

Like other bros have noted, please format your card using your phone for the first time, then format it to exFAT using this mod. Should work like a charm!

Coming from my previous Lumia 920 which has one hell of a kickass cam, I'm feeling the pinch when it comes to the XZ's inferior cam. Hell, even my old iphone 4 and current iPad takes better photos.

 

[Unknownx]

Does XZ slow in focusing before taking picture? Coz after owned few Xperia phones, I feel this is the main problem...

[viniss]

Anyone got a backup for the official firmware (ftf) for singapore local set? Can link it somewhere?
I accidentally flashed random firmware and forgot to backup =.=

you guys have any issues with apps crashing?

My LINE has been crashing non stop on my Z.... i have also deleted the app and re-installed from Play.

 

[Computeron]

i totally agree....
for a moment... i thought i'm using 2008 camera phone...

 

[iNFINITExx]

yup, i have slow focus issues as well.... i noticed it might be due to the new Superior Focus mode , choose the normal focus mode and use the tap function to do the focusing ... camera load is slow though .. should have been instant load .. zzzzz

 

[Angteko]

For low light, use normal instead of the auto.

My indoor shoot is like normal lighting which I consider very much sufficient lighting to have a decent pic, yet it wasn't. My xs did a very good job. One of the best mobile cam.
Btw,what resolution did u guys set?

 

[Angteko]

I just enabled my 4g, and it was superb. Super fast loh. Can't even notice it loaded. But stupid Singtel required me to call in twice before getting it enabled. Wth with their services nowadays?

 

[shadey]

whenever you reset the phone,you have to refill the APN manually:

name: sunsurf
APN: sunsurf
username: 65
password: user123
authentication type: none
APN type: default

save it. press back key,choose it and enjoy.

Nope, just run the Setup utility when you first boot the phone, the phone will set the APNs automatically on it's own. It will ask you "do oyu want to configure data access" then just say "yes".

 

[Angteko]

I'm sending this while in underground mrt. Though no 4g connection, but I feel the connection of 3g quite strong. Better than xs

I have a site to download blu ray 720P & 1080P movies from 700MB to 2.5GB. Quality is good...

My bad. Didnt know this as I reset it a number of times, I did the manual job all the time too.
But I didn't come across any "setup utility"

 

[Princej79]

any estimated timeline?

Singtel asked me to try and monitor when I am back home tonight. They are updating the firmware remotely. So I will update the outcome either tonight or the latest tomorrow morning yah...
