Official Xperia Z Thread

curious which batch is your model from?

you can check from the phone bottom. Look for the 2 numbers before "AAC"

So AAC batch not very good? Mine is AAE and so far quite ok

307 Coming soon. My guess is that will fix some improvement on the camera application. I seriously think Sony should just add the noise reduction and noise filter for us to adjust, that will basically solve allllllllll problem and make allllllll Xperia Z users happy.

Anyone noticed that Xperia Z signals drops to completely ZERO sometimes even when u r sitting on ur desk at work?

This is a recent happening for me. Any idea what Kee Siao-ness is the Xperia Z facing recently?

Yes I got this. I'm on Starhub. Anyone else experiencing the same? But for me is not when at one place. It's more of when I'm moving around. I was thinking it might be because of the change from LTE to HSPA sometimes...

Not all firmwares certified on the PTCRB website will be released, while some are for certain countries only. So 307 might not see the light of day, or might not be for Singapore.

don't think it is like that. Mine is AAC batch too and so far so good. More of luck I guess, not the batch

The Sony keyboard is good but still nowhere near the level swiftkey has for lazy typers like me, I dont tap the keys precise and switftkey predicated my words very accurately 98% of the time.

Anyone else here update the firmware le? It says supposed to increase battery life, but I noticed past 2 days it is dropping faster. Eg it will drop to 99% after less than 5mins I unplug the charger and it also take longer to charge now. Not sure is it the phone is reading battery life more accurate now, or the battery life is actually worse than before updating...

It'll take some time for the battery to "stabilize" after the update. Give it a few cycles of charge and discharge.

just notice something...

the default on the Z/ZL call/sms dun have a blocking function?

came from htc camp. i could just select block caller and then it would go away.

Oh I see....
So I should just use it as per my normal usage pattern? Because now I will usually start charging if it hits 70%...

You can use it as normal. But as far as I know, it's actually good practice to let the battery drain to 0% (i.e. fully discharge) once in a while.
