Got my Xperia Z!!! :)

Hi guys,
Just wanted to say that I got my Xperia Z today from Play Poland
It's just brilliant

Tell us more.

Kurwa No! Jest ziabiesta?
:cyclops:

Zaaaaaaaaajebista!!!
OK, Tell me what you want to know and I'll tell you.
I guess that most of the people are interested in screen quality
I have to tell you that I was terrified, when I first turned in on. It looked like the one that I saw i Sony Center. Totaly washed out colors. No blacks etc. Than I changed wallpaper to a picure with lots of black, and Tada!! Beautiful black and contrast!!!!! Sony just changed colors of the whole UI, so there is no black, only gray . Apps and wallpapers look great!

were there any memory card (micro sd ) inside the phone ??? 2,4,8,16,32??

Yes, I have seen it myself in real life and can confirm this. The screen looks much better then people expect. Plus that everybody now has their "expectations" set to low, they will be even more impressed. I mean come on, would you really think Sony would put a TERRIBLE display in their flagship? They want to capture the market, you are not going to do that with a terrible screen.
The screen is SHARP, BIG, BEAUTIFUL. Indeed, Sony has chosen a lot of gray instead of black (bottom nav bar + status bar + background in settings). That's not a washed out screen, that's just the colour Sony chose. I can understand people are confused by this, I was as well. But when I saw the screen in real life, I saw that's it's a good screen. Yes, the viewing angles are not as good as the S-LCD3/HD AMOLED screens, but it's not THAT bad as some pictures made you think.
I think that the XZ offers so much that those "not perfect" viewing angles can go to hell

+1 xda Mark. I saw the device at CES and didn't believe the guy when he said it was TN. Best looking TN I've ever seen. Looked at some photos online both on my buddys s3 and the Z, and the difference was NOT what you see in pictures.
Before anyone leaves this device because of the screen, take a look IRL first.

I think that the pre applied ones shouldn't be removed, and are quite thick and difficult to remove. So if the screen protectors in the box have normal thickness my guess is that it is to protect the screen protector from getting scratched. A scratch protector for a scatter protector

can you check whether i can use 5 pin MHL cable or 11 pin MHL cable ! would be interesting to know !!!!!!

No that its actually a shatter proof sheet supplied on all sony phones for extra protection, screen protector is apparently supposed to go on top of that

The phone comes with anti shatter film its not a screen protector and you are advised to put a standard screen protector on top of this pre applied film.

HTC One tiny gap between casing

Afternoon all,
So yeah I'm loving this phone greatly, but I've noticed something horrible for a phone so well made.
If anyway else owns one can you please check if your headset has a tiny gap ( Im really do mean tiny gap) between the front metal casing and
the cream looking plastic band around the phone. So were the headjack and on switch is . . . .
I noticed it last night and if I press the back and front together the gap closes.
After speaking to P4U they said no one else has rang in with such problem and they said they would exchange it wen more arrive in stock.
I ended up going in store were I discover they ave one there but is a pre ordered handset. The guy did open it up and checked both handsets.
They new one did also have a tiny gap but not as bad?
Bit shocked as I havent really used the phone alot as Im still using my S3 till I pay my contract off.
Anyone else got this?7
Cheers

Re: HTC One Owners check it out!
I have read somewhere 2 weeks ago it is a problem for some demo set. But seems it existing on retail phone now. Also I heard iphone5 has such problem but people think it acceptable.
So maybe other users can give their view.
And you would better to have a clear photo upload others can judge.

Re: HTC One Owners check it out!
There was another thread on this exact issue. It is very small, but then again these phones aren't exacty cheap. So should be uniform all around.

Re: HTC One Owners check it out!
I got mine today, have looked but not used the phone yet. On both the top and bottom, I can squeeze and a hairline gap will come together, but I don't think this is a problem really. It is negligible and it probably won't have any impact at all, the phone still seems premium and solid in the hand, and it is not like they advertise it as being waterproof or anything in which case this would be an issue.

I have a slight gap on the top, nowhere else though, and its very slight, I keep a case on it at all times though, so no big issue

Ive put two links to photos I took. Hopefully the links work. One is with gap and then me pushing the edges together . . .

If that was my phone I would send it back but that's just me.... hope mine is ok when I get home later on.

This gap may be engineered to provide for thermal expansion differences between glass and aluminum

Definitely looks like a defect to me. Lint, dust, water etc could all get in there very easily and cause problems down the line. I'd get it replaced.

My mates htc one had zero gap all the way around.

Yeah I maybe abit paranoid on this matter. After seeing the other newly opened htc one and seeing that also had a little gap then I though maybe
its just the way its made. I will see hopefully thursday if more come into stock.

Re: HTC One Owners check it out!
If I'm looking at the same thing is u on top of the phone theres a very very small gap between the metal casing and plastic filler.
Can't see I'm bothered about a gap of 0.25mm though. I don't think I'd ever want a replacement.

I can definitely confirm such behavior in my One X, it expands a little from heat
but by design? i don't know, HTC promised zero gap didn't they?

Thread title is misleading: please change it.

Rumor about the hole of the earpiece! Waterproof Rumor!

Browsing other Xperia Z2 forum, a user asked about the water resistance and input headset, since it has no external insulation, as covers. One reviewer said the author of the following topic:
"Check if you don't see a screen light in the hole, there were some not sealed examples problems.. it should be dark when the phone is unlocked. Would help to make sure it is sealed."
This actually makes sense?
I tested mine and when I turn on the device screen I can see light through the hole of the headset!
Has anyone tested to see if it makes sense?

I haven't heard about this, but for the screen gap issue Sony said you could take your phone to a repair center for a water resistance test, I'm sure they would do this for you if you are worried about it.

I see the light of the screen through the jack and I plunged my phone several times in the water, no problem.

As I said though if you are worried about the headphone plug, they should be able to test that for water resistance as well.

I can see the light too, no water has passed so far (at least nothing that effected the phone). Not sure if a straight way to the digitizer does any good.. Like is the digitizer waterproof?

This sounds strange but put the hole to your mouth and such on it like a straw then plug it with your tongue. If the suction stays then your good and waterproof.

G3 Build quality thread

I've had my G3 for about a week now and I absolutely love the device. I'd like to have a discussion about build quality of the device since there's some things I've noticed with my 32gb D855 model that I'm wondering if others have had also.
1) The digitizer is quite noticeable, I guess my eyes have adjusted a bit now but it is there and quite noticeable when I pay attention
2) The back plate is screaming poor quality: it is very creaky near the top above the infrared and also around the volume down key you can really press the device and hear it creaking like a Samsung device
3) Unfortunately after caring for it with my life somehow the back cover got a huge scratch..I don't possibly know from what..a fleck of dust in the air or Something but still this shouldn't have gotten such an ugly huge scratch so easily!
4) Dust/sand or dirt is easily getting into the bezels right where the screen ends
5) As mentioned in another thread I've had the spontaneous shut down but let's not delve into that on this thread
Anyone else want to share their experiences?

I think the device feels wonderful when im using it. But I do agree that one drop and this thing is gonna be in trouble.

I managed to put a 2inch scratch on the back and I'm so carefull but managed to scratch it.

Just got mine yesterday but #2 is not an issue for me. The back is very solid and doesn't have any flex at all. I am going to put a slim case on mine though and I already have a tempered glass screen shield.

Well, mine seems pretty solid so far (got mine on Monday), the only thing from your list i noticed as well is the dust at the bezel, but it's not really in the bezel, it's just sticking at the edges, because the bezel is slightly higher than the screen, that's a bit annoying, but not really bad, because it can be easily swiped away. Except of that, I'm pretty pleased with the build quality so far, looks and feels premium, just the back doesn't feel that slick, because of the plastic, but it's still not bad at all.
Oh, and the back buttons are slightly too hard to push, but that's also not a big deal.
So, great device, I'm a happy owner^^

Do we have the same device?
1: I can barely see the digitizer unless i shine a bright light into the screen.
2: the back cover on mine fits perfectly, to the millimeter. The only creaking i hear is if i try to twist the device at either end which is acceptable as its a removable cover so should have some give.
3: that is unfortunate
4: Is this not normal of all phones. They all have a small gap between the glass and phone body. its hard to avoid, but not very big on the G3.
5: ive not had this issue fortunately.
Ive found the build quality to be very good. everything fits very nicely. and its a big step up in quality from the nexus 5 which already had a decent build quality.

Had mine for 6 days, comparing this to say an s4 or s5 is like comparing a Citroen 2CV against a Ferrari, the difference is immense in terms of both looks,build quality and feel. Loving it ?

Just got mine an hour ago. I'm coming from an S4. This phone feels cheap in comparison. I'm not sure if I'll get used to not having the true black that one gets with an AMOLED screen. But hey, it's only been an hour.:beer:

It really is a big difference between AMOLED and IPS screens. There completely different technologies, keep in mind though the IPS screen is more closer to every other screen you look at every day so its not like you dont use them already.

Im not liking how the G3 is get bashed around recently, if your not happy with it then i suggest people go back to samsung. Ive had it over a week now and the phone grows on me more every day. Once roms and tweeks come out this phone will be even more amazing

I'm doing a tally on Z5 series affected by the left-hand blur issue

I was planning on buying a unit but discovered it had the left-hand blur issue. It was a Xperia Z5 E6683 Rev 2 Black model.
I then tried another one from the same store, Xperia Z5 E6683 Rev 2 Gold and this DID NOT have the left-hand blur.
So I was thinking if this is just a coincidence or the problem is prevalent on a set of models.
Please share whether yours suffers from the problem or not as well as your phones model/color/rev#/week manufactured (there is another tray in sim card tray area, you can pull it out and there is all the device info). and I will make a tally of it.
Thank you!

Too bad Thanks for the info anyway, I'll take note of it

I have two black E6653. Rev 4 from Taiwan and Rev 2 from Germany, both with no blur.

Excuse my ignorance; how do I discover the Rev #?
Green model, bought UK within a week of launch; no left hand side issue. Slight barrelling at far edges but that's normal, as far as I can see - it's certainly not excessive and generally makes no difference.

Fair enough: Rev 3, green, UK, no left hand blur. Camera perfect.

Dang, that's exactly what I would've decided to do. Meantime, do you think it could be caused by the lens cover itself? Some people in the past got much better shots after removing the back cover! If that's the case, maybe you could try to remove & re-align the back cover & camera module.
TW Rev4 (Green), no blur.

I don't think i have the blur?

The lens fisheyes at long focal lengths which causes it. Pretty normal behaviour for such a wide angle small lense, but typically it's the end of the world on here.
It's something normally corrected in software but isn't currently for some reason. I guess the current camera app only being a place holder has something to do with it.

Perfectly fine photos, good luck you have there!

So far, based on the current tally, it seems a lot more people have Z5 with no blur. Though of course, this is just based on those replying to this thread. and the reddit post..

Rev 2 Black UK unbranded and thankfully no blur

What is the left hand blur ypu are talking about?
