Official Xperia Z Thread

If you install Go Sms Pro then you can use the sound selection menu from Go Sms Pro instead of the default sound picker.

But we seldom use sms these days.

How is the battery life of Xperia Z?

my usual lifestyle base on mobile browsing, whatsapp, wechat and phone call gave me about 3.5 - 4 hours screen on time. My xperia S gave me about 3hrs. Alot of time we suffer from the New phone effects. Keep switching on and off regardless we use it or not. this cycle will go on till 6mths later then we wait the next flagship. Lol. At least for me.

Having problems connecting to play store, any advise? Thanks (singtel user here)

Singtdo user over here no problem lei
WiFi also can't access?

 

[LabbitPau]

Wah so many no use screen protectors ah.

I thought XZ has the default shatter proof film on front and back which are prone to scratches?

 

[meggidodimus]

when choosing images from gallery to send, wa piang, all the images just explode into the screen without any folders at all. is there a way to work around this? very messy sia

Yes, they are clearing stocks for the iphone and Samsung. Ha Ha!

How much you bought the Samsung MicroSD? I would rather go for the SanDisk or Transcend instead of Samsung.

R u sure that after rooting can use apps2sd? Any link to share? Was disappointed with S3 when it doesn't support this feature. Now even xperia Z can't

From Android 4.0 onwards can't.

Unless you root, and change the mounting from Internal to External SDcard, vice versa.

TRANSCEND definitely. I have not used any other brand on my phones past and present, only transcend. Bought at IT Show for $30 class 10 uhs-i.

Just got a 64GB Sandisk Class 10 microSD card. I know that I have to format the card on the phone to FAT32 to get it recognised, but as we all know, there's the dumb limitation of FAT32 not allowing files larger than 4GB. This kind of defeats my purpose of loading >4GB movie files onto my phone to play.

Has anyone successfully formatted the microSD card to NTFS instead?

The default gallery is not as good as i initially thought.

Looking for an external gallery app.

Any recommendations?

You have to ensure network provider activate the LTE network for you if you are using 3G previously and under network settings, select the settings which has LTE.

Which telcos? If didn't buy from if Singtel, then u need to call to activate 4G.

 

[bbcccc]

my XZ should be back today from the 1 week long absent due to cant power on.
hope i will get a brand new replacement set

 

[WrxSti23]

Go to settings/sound/phone ringtone/sound picker.
Once there, press the icon at the top right hand corner to get to your music list.

Many thanks!

There is nothing to do with the SIM Card whether yours is the micro SIM or cut out from the big SIM card, you have to call SingTel to activate the LTE network for you and it take around 1 day for the activation.
