Official Xperia Z Thread

Tip: I don't quite like the notification that reminds you to unplug your charger from the wall socket to save electricity, when you unplug the cable from the phone.

To get rid of this notification, go to Settings -> Apps, and under "All", find the app named com.sonyericsson.unplugchargereminder and disable it.

Please note that once you've done this, you cannot easily enable it again.

Yes. With the camera app for the small app, it is so much better and can do multi tasking. This small app is patented to Sony only and you cannot find similar apps from the playstore unlike other features in Samsung, you can find similar apps in playstore like the smart stay.

where to d/l this small app camera?
is it the same as the default one with intel mode etc etc?

 

[hush66]

nope, i tried that and it is re-setting up the pattern lock code.

Are you really sure that you didn't install something that requires certificates, like accessing your office email via the default Email app or some other 3rd party app? Those require some form of verification and therefore will not allow you to have no lockscreen or a swipe lockscreen.

Just a reminder to those who buy the Xperia Z cheap at some of the mobile shops out there, I was told that Sony Mobile will be giving the warranty to those sets as they are throwing prices ridiculously which affect the image of Sony Mobile.

I agree with that also.

mmm... but sony is not like Apple. rem that the time when Apple resellers in SG are not allow to sell Appler PCs at SG's major PC fairs? only Apple can do that...

but as for Sony. if they really don't honour those who brought the set at lower than launch RRP, they may not be able to survive the mobile phone wars, btw, Sony don't really make good money recently... so i guess what they can do now is to sell as much phone as possible and pushes out new xperia ASAP to capture market.

so for those who got the XZ at high $988, learn to love the phone and don't look back, and pray that this XZ can last thru at least 6mth before you try another new phone.

just my view.

Nope, not using the email client or my office email. Only Gmail app.
Oh i am running Apex launcher..will it hinder the lockscreen , which i doubt?

[hitme]

my camera app takes about 1 to 2 sec to activate. (can feel the delay)
is this normal for your xperia z too?

I feel that 1 to 2 sec delay to start up the camera is normal unless it take around 15 secs or more then it will be too long.

Anyone knows if there are any anti finger print screen protector for front & back? Where to buy?
