Official Xperia Z Thread

[Jargon]

Anyone knows how to set the Xperia Z to display clock/alarm when docked?

 

[eeLsinneD]

does buying the dock come with a power cable? or we have to use the adapter supplied with the phone?

No cable, no nothing. Just the stand, and the box. And the instruction sheet. And the plastic wrapping the stand. And the seal.

Gawd I am irritating! Lol

Did you try Smart Connect?

I beg to differ. The Xperia Z saga happen because of a shop

Buying at RRP or not is up to individual. There is nothing wrong with 3rd party mobile shop. all goods are legitimate stuff from agent.

I believe price is one small factor, it is the interaction i get from the salespeople, knowledge and advice which i am willing to pay. I do not expect to take up 30mins of people's time and ask for $800.

For the Early adopters of XZ especially those who bought from Shops like WM,J MS ....etc. We are all victims of the price struggle between Sony and Retailers.

Sony can don't honor the warranty of the sets but they should in the first place warn the consumers about this move. All they did was to talk in secret and when a decision made, nothing was been announced. I believe many of us swtiched over to the XZ because of the Hype Sony has created and it is still creating it till this point of time. But look at what happen to us for been supportive and buying the product. We can blame and labelled Sinners for buying their product at a lower cost.

To Dear Sony, if you really need to fix this mess. Target the source and not the consumers. You pissed the hell out of us, You lose us forever. Take Nokia as a classic example, Huge pool of fanboys in the golden age but due to crappy engineering and the unwillingly attitude to improved, a huge decrease in fan base that is until of late with their Windows Phone.

To all the wonderful and lovely folks here, here is my opinion in the service and warranty issue. if i am wrong, please correct me, just want to share my opinion in here, i represent myself:

i believe there should be a better handling of this issue. Competitors undercut each other price to fight for customers, this is a norm. however, service center should not reject those sets that are bought at a lower price than the SRP. the funny part is when that shop re-print a receipt with the SRP, the service center accept it. it's like ..you know? what do the service center gain by making the customer go back to the shop to do so?

even the set is export set, service center should still repair but they can state that cos it's a export set, there is an additional charges the customer need to pay. that is been fair to those who bought the local set vs export set.

the conflict of interests is a point need to be take note. and i have a question, if i bought my set from local telo with 2 years contracts on a entry tier phone plan vs a mid/high tier phone plan, should the service center subjected to accept repair base on the phone price or your monthly subscription bill? to me, service center open door to customers who is using the brand. that all

to me, customer service is important to keep the company going.

everyone need to play their parts well, don't under do or over do, sometime can close one eye if not overboard. this is the reality. i play my part, you play your part.


Thanks and regards

What problems? I face no problems at all. So far most problems are like jelly bean features. E.g Google settings for location services. How to use stamina mode? Location base WiFi, etc etc There's lots of features which can be resolved by doing a simple search on Google. Don't tell me screen washout, 95% of the people don't sEe their phone from an angle. The problem I agreed is camera launch could be better. Other than that, it's a great phone imo.

How to create shortcut ?

A very honest review of this phone!

How to create shortcut ?

in smart connect..go to action dock..

set condition WHEN to 'Charging Dock' (actually this event is already preset on my set)..

then choose DO THIS and set start shortcut..where in the list of shortcut..there will be a 'clock' shortcut~

Well, some say material is not premium, some said overpriced.... My child plays at pool, beach even any water fountain like the one in bugis. With my XZ, every single moment is captured without having to stand one side and take videos. I take videos of him in the pool or at the beach together with me and throw the videos/photos to my tv to have a good laugh when back home. Honestly, moments like these are priceless imo. No other smartphone come close, at this moment.

 

[happy2day]

Seems like this phone is made for family!

There is something wrong with the agent thou... in our market... only Sony phone price drop in matters of hours.. 918 to 840 in 1 day. 840 to 800 in 1 day..

.[/QUOTE]unless agent take kopi $ from a party to make Sony lose market share in sg. Just like when u go those electronics shop, some promoter will promote certain brand n get more commission.

Regarding the warranty, I'm in doubt that Sony will do such a thing that put them in striking distance of CASE or the law.

It could be retailer spinning tales to scare off consumer from buying from cheap source.

Sorry for the confusion, I meant docked as in when I'm not leaving it on the dock but not to charge. Like, when the phone is on the lock screen. Also, I noticed that the wifi switches off automatically when the phone is on the locked, is there a way around this?

btw, anyone tried watching videos (mp4 etc) with a blue-tooth headset? is there any lip-sync issue?

anyone?
