Looks like only me having issues with indoor photos...randomly its good, but mostly looks greenish yellow

Does the sony center give one to one exchange or they in for checking the camera module...if opened, am sure new problems will start surfacing..

Got try playing with the white balance settings? I yet to get the phone (curse M1 !!) , but my good old Arc has that feature.

did u on location service? did you allow the google apps to use your location?

the NFC transfer must have bluetooth enabled on your hp and it shd only work with same model phone...mean xz to xz..

Can someone also confirm if Stamina is turn on, those the notification light still work? As mine since not.

Before that the notification lights don't function even without stamina, then someone taught me to do a factory reset. Then it is functioning.

in order to allow lightflow full control on your LED, you must have root access. else it wouldnt really work. you can check out at xda lightflow thread... even my rooted S3 am having some issue with it..

Nope. NFC file transfer works even with the xperia S to Z. It's just making sure your phone supports nice NFC functions.

Why use NFC sim card when we have NFC built in?

enables NFC wallet on your phone......like using EZ LINK or paywave services etc..

 

[shadey]

doing a side-by-side comparsion between the Z and the N2.
From my office, I cannot access FB, Internet, Playstore on the Z.
On the N2, absolutely no problem, no lagging and smooth.

Both on 4G but signal strength on both phones are 2bars.
Wireless is OFF

Quite disappointed...cos i like the Z

What telco? You may just have the wrong APN settings. My Z has always been VERY fast when accessing FB.

Well that has is purely on the SIM, right? So turn off NFC on the Z and just use the one on the sim.

Was using S3 LTE previously (unrooted)
Lightflow did work for me (maybe i bought the application and not using LITE)

But now, even the stock notifications led isnt working except charging(red). i heard factory reset remedy but i did it once already....no avail...
Sigh...too used to the notification LED in S3

Those who are using Stamina mode, only calls, SMS or walkman functions are not affected.

You have to include those apps like whatsapp etc into the list in order for any incoming data to come in and notification will light accordingly and if you never include those apps in the list then it will not work as well as the notification led.

Comparing my xperia and nexus 4 side by side, the xperia has a yellowish tint.. Sian

 

[Chevalier]

from what i understand theres more than meets the eye.....im actually gonna try it out..

NFC sim card have some special encryption which is needed by telco app like m1 wallet or something...

with our phone built in NFC..it's not allow to use the wallet app

I had included, it since like not working too. I checked Settings --> Account --> Google --> the Gmail account stated is "Sync is OFF".

I got an email icon on the taskbar, but the notification light is not blinking.
