Official Xperia Z Thread

yeah. Sometime. Xperia Z signal strength is slightly weaker than other phones. My biggest problem now is my Singtel fiber keep on restarting when Xperia Z connect to it. -.-

Many XZ-ers have this problem. Problem is with the Pace 5020 router. The singtel CSO might not know this and will arrange for technician visit. Mine was last Sat and was replaced with an older 2wire 5012. It's a downgrade but I have no problem with reboot since. Good luck bro!

anyone can recommend a widget or notification panel shortcut bar that can activate controls such as GPS, wireless hotspot instantly without having it jumping to settings & activate it from there?

The widget is come with it on XZ. Just goto --> Widgets --> Tools --> Quick settings.

You can see all those toggles there.

Dungeon Hunter 4 is out!!!

Missed the paying mode for both DH1 and DH2...one time payment.

Now, this DH4 needs to pay for the jewels.

Hope no one asked this before.
Do you need third party apps to sync outlook calender with Xperia Z?
I am using iPhone at the moment and would like to upgrade to Z, but from what i understand, there's no native built in app which sync outlook calender to android. (at least my friend's Note 2 does not).

For iPhone, all I need to do is plug it into my laptop and iTunes does the sync of outlook to iPhone calender automatically.
How Xperia Z does this?

Thank you!

A very funny thing happen to my sony xperia z thismadning. When I unplug my phone from the charger then suddenly the screen not responding then the screen just go black and shut down. So I press the power button and it doesn't seem to boot. Then when I at the carpark about to drive to work. I press the power button and who know lucky it boot. Wan lan eh make me so scare I thought what happen to my phone again

I posted about this issue last month. It seems like the clock mode/ night mode is causing this. Now whenever I unplug from cable or take off from charging dock, I quickly press the home button to exit the clock mode before the screen go blank. No more such issue ever since I do this step.

Downgraded my fiber router to 2wire too, same issue with pace router restart if my XZ connected to it.

Try using "power toggles" app. I use it and it's pretty good.

when u guys game on the xz, does it get like really hot? i mean, i know its normal for phones to heat up, i've used most flagship phones in the market and i've never felt uncomfortable with the phone's heat till XZ

any ideas?

 

[wolvie77]

Download the Notification Toggle from the Google Playstore, you can configure all the settings at the notification bar.

thx for recommendation but i'm looking for one that when u press the button, it will activate the function straightaway instead of jumping over to Settings & activate from there. something like how the default bluetooth, wifi, toggle works

Yes, at times very hot. Could be due to the lack of air ventilation waterproof design. Just put it under running water....

Xperia Z inbuilt toggle widget can already do that, dont need to install anything, just use the inbuilt toggle widget.

As i said, goto Widgets, and you find Tools (which all the GPS, Wifi, Data...etc) are all there. You can select those toggle accordingly to your preference onto your main screen.
Once done, you can just press it to toggle off and on the functions.

Please see my example pic above.
