Official Xperia Z Thread

[carlover76]

As there's no reply to my question few pages back,


Does installing "battery guru" help in conserving battery on the XZ?
Because it needs location services for it to work.

For me, it helps in about 10% I should say but I use the Location WIFI in the Power Management instead.

But the thing is, by using the location services also consumes battery.So it gives me an impression of redundancy.

Candy Crush new version is out

Yes, it will consume battery and you can do it manually if you want to save battery like checking in FourSquare etc which require your location.

Hi Sony fans lovers and experts,
I actually was waiting for HTC one, but i seem to be losing faith in it. So i'm now deciding to get xperia Z. I have a few qns n i hope u can help me pls.

1. How reliable is the flip that covers the 'charging' port? Is the docking the way to go if i want the phone to last 2yrs?
2. Is xperia Z stable now? Or will i get a 'lemon' set? Or should i wait for a month more for the next few batch?
3. Will xperia Z get its update to JB4.2 soon?

thks in advance

can i know if the battery life of XZ is good enough for average usage? mostly whatsapp, music and web browsing.

yes one day should be good enough

Umm

Just bought xperia z...
how long does it take to charge?
Mine takes 2.5 Hours to charge off wall charger, and 4 hours by USB cable in computer..
My S3 charge so fast.. like in 1.5 hour...

for me it takes 2.5-3~4 hours or more to charge to full battery

1. u MUST need the dock so that u need not open the flip for charging and this preserve the water resistant capabilities. else if your flip cover is torn or spoilt, yur phone will be same as per any android phone

2. its really the luck issue.

3. unsure

Doesn't matter what name he uses. He damn helpful in xperia z threads. Good to have a Sony lover like him.

Yes, totally agree! Becoz of him, I got to know jimmy, with good sp skill and advise for cam usage. I'm much more confifent in my cam handling now. Ho ah !

Same impression I had. So I just do it manually, and seems like my WiFi is more stable now. using location service seems like will keep cutting off if away for a distance.

No need think so much, just get it. Htc one design not as nice. And I'm loving my xz everyday! Battery improve alot after 1 wk. Overnight standby mode is superb, maintaining same batt level b4 I go to sleep.

Alright thanks

Another qn. Can the dock be used to transfer files from pc like IPhone and iPad or is it simply for charging?

 

[dreamz13]

sorry too many pages to check back. my location can't seem to be found, even though I have enabled all the location settings (except GPS). is there anything else I should enable?

No, you cannot use the dock to transfer data as there will not be any connection if you connect the cable to the PC instead of the charger.

I just tested and confirm on that.

 

[anirudhks]

hope they release something like a smart dock atleast which will help a lot of us

guys how does location based wifi work? mine used to work fine ie i reach home it turns off automatically. gps nv needed to be turned on for this to work.

but two days ago i connected to wireless@sg and now when i reach home wifi doesnt turn on. i removed all the stored networks but still it doesnt work anymore. jin sian if must manually turn on n off because i shuffle between three networks everyday.
