I picked up my Xperia Z1 from the Eaton Centre Sony Store in Toronto and sure enough headset was not on the listed contents of the box.
I called customer care and they had me on an endless loop of transfers until the sony store Canada representative came on the line and basically said, "the carriers buy headsets and offer them as bonuses, the unlocked Xperia does not come with a headset."
I never would have imagined that Sony would cheap out on their $800 flagship device.

I have a Z1 from Rogers and my GF got an unlocked white Z1 from Sony Store. I had headsets while she didn't. I will get her to check her box to confirm.
I believe it differs from where you get the phone. The package that comes from Sony has no headset uncluded as intended by them. Carriers packages vary from one to another - Rogers has headsets, I dunno with Bell and Telus, and I read that some carrier in Europe had the dock included.
I got mine from Rogers expecting no headset, but was surprised they were in there.

same story, i got from sony store and it didnt have it. worst part they didnt have earphone with remote buttons in store that would work on z1. all the ear phones sony carries are for apple product.
my friend bought his a month ago from uk and he got way more stuff in this box. screen protector and earphones, i hear in other places of world people are getting lanyard as well.
This same ridiculousness happens with Samsung's Galaxy Note phones. I've owned all three at some point and but a single one came with headphones. Really? It's a bit ridiculous.
Either way, I went out and grabbed a pair of Klipsch Image S4i and it sounds great when paired with the Z1. I had the C6903 Z1 and it came with headphones, it's a bummer that the C6906 model didn't come with it.

My X1 met with an accident before six months, which left one part of the slider loose compared to the other, and the screen broke and i have a spider web kinda crack on one part of the screen.
I've gone to three service centers till date and all of them told me that they do not have the spare parts and have to import it from god damn knows where.
I sent a mail to x1support also, but no reply.
What are the other options i have to get my phone repaired? People from India, please reply
India is not the only country to have lazy Sony support. I guess you will have to wait for the X2. Sorry if I am not being helpful but I have bad experiences with Sony in many parts of Asia and Europe. In many 'third world' countries they are more geared up to service TVs, DVD recorders, and audio systems (even laptops) but just do not have the expertise for high-end phones.
sigh... i think i will go back to the java based Sony ericsson phones. atleast i got good support.
Se service is pathetic
Hi,
Icompletely agree on this pathetic service by SE. I am from India. I have been haveing some problem with my xi lately. I went to Se service centre for getting the phone repaired as it was stuck in the headset mode. I was told that it has happened because of some liquid geting in the mother boardand we will have to check with the head office and after some fifteen days later when i get my phone, the slider key board is loose and i can not type through this propery. When i told them they are saying it was like that only. very irresponsible answer. One this is for sure that this is going to be my last SE phone and I will make sure that people around my dont get into the same trap and dont buy any of these SE phones. Pathetic is the only word for their service. Infact I am planning to sell this phone off and get another NON SE phone.
Yes it is lol. I know of only one person that was completely content with their srvices. I guess it was a fluke, or a competent clerk (fired sooon aftert that lol).....
i bet you had to wait so long because they keep all the spare parts in korea incase their korean customers get a crack or something because they are the most important people.

I believe there's a conspiracy how headphones break in a month or sooner. I think it's a market conspiracy that companies use so, the consumer doesn't stop with one headphone, but keeps buying more and more.
what you guys think?, am I high on something

I've had the same pair of Phillips Headphones since 2004... they cost £18... What are you all doing to your headphones to destroy them!?!?
I use the headphones that usualy came with the phones. Never broked one, butI do change phone a bit...
That said, I have the same Panasonic headphones for 20+ years, that I use when at home, for better quality.
I still have a working pair that came with the original game boy, plus a Moto s9 BT headset i had for about a year now, psp headphones I had since 07 i think, HTC headphones that came with my Dash (they even survived the washer & dryer), some great sounding sony headphones i bought from radioshack about 2 years ago, but the only ones that fell apart were some dj style Craig brand chepos from kmart.
wow, I'm cursed with headphones. I remember buying apple headphones for like 50 bucks (what a rip off), they didn't even last an year...
v-moda earplugs for the win!

lol purple, I'm going try my luck with Bluetooth headphones now
You mean these ugly things?
I just got a GS4A in somewhat terribad physical condition but it works 100% and it didn't come with any of the original accessories (box, adapter, microUSB cable, and of course the earbuds).
Can anyone that has purchased a GS4A brand new tell me if the stock Samsung earbuds have a volume control in the little remote pod in the cord, and if it can be used for controlling playback as well (Play/Pause, maybe 2 clicks for next song, 3 clicks for Previous, that sort of thing)?
Been searching for an answer but haven't found one yet, not sure precisely which earbuds are included with the GS4A so if anyone can take a picture of theirs or the remote pod (close up/macro image) I'd greatly appreciate it, thanks.
The headset that came with my i9295 has controls, yes, and they work well. I think they can do double-tap for next song in the player I use (poweramp), but don't hold me to that because I got a much nicer set of headphones with my purchase from the store (SOL republic Tracks HD), so I haven't been using the included earbuds much at all.

Are you talking about the international version or the SGH-I537? I have the I537 and it didn't come with any earbuds...

My international one did, but honestly it wouldn't have been a big loss if it didn't. As most bundled earbuds they are good enough, but nothing to be all that happy about. The shape makes them hang a bit awkwardly in my particular ears, and they seem to get pulled out a lot easier than other earbuds I use. The only reason I use them at all is that they are a compatible headset that is more discrete for use when I'm out on town, rather than my over-ear Tracks HD that I use to listen to music and so when I'm at home.
Wow, AT&T being so cheap they can't toss in a pair of $3 earbuds, good lord.
Oh well, I found some on eBay that claim to be the "real deal" Samsung product, which upon getting them I will promptly disassemble and attach my current Koss earbuds where were previously transplanted onto an iPod/iPhone earbud cable.
Thanks for the info...

Good choice, Koss earbuds are way superior to these. Unfortunately I don't have the tools right now or I'd do the same myself, I have a pair of old Koss where the contact broke that are just waiting for such a project.
Ordered this weekend and got my phone today, got it crazy fast, unfortunately get a prompt to enter a code because the phone is sim locked even though Nergi stated it was unlocked? They told me I have to wait a few days now for them to get the unlock code, very depressed. Phone seems amazing and I can't use it. Went to ATT and got a new SIM card and all, still wouldn't work.
Anyone find a way to get their phone unlocked quicker? I'd rather not wait the 2-3 days Nergi told me it would take.....
Does the one you got seem to be sim locked to a canadian carrier since that's the only country with c6906 officially? any carrier branding on it? Keep us updated on how it goes I was interested in buying from them as well since it's available cheap to the US.
I got a c6906 a day ago.purchased from an eBay seller.
I am using it on straight talk.
One thing I noticed is when I have to restart the phone, it would say "orange ". Guess that would be a network carrier for some country.
Not sure if I can remove that branding or not.

Orange is European - they don't operate up here in Canada.
Are you certain your phone is C6906 and not C6903?

The keyboard seems to want to default to Canadian English, so it seems to be sourced from there. Kind of annoyed they didn't have unlock codes ready. Now Nergi is telling me end of the week. Paid for overnight shipping too :crying:

Yes it is ...
Just picked up a DK39 at the Sony centre in Newcastle. Hoping it will work for a Z1 phone as well, but seeing as they sell the DK31 for that, I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't work.
Will advise later if it works with the Sony Style case for the Z2 Tablet
And...
Yes. That's what the moon shaped cutout in the back plate of the cover is for
Does it work with the Z1 phone, yes. But not with the bumper case on, the slot is too wide with the adapter out, and too narrow with it in. Works with the adapter on a naked phone though.

This dock does not work with the z2 phone, it's too narrow and don't connect. Might work if you have a thick case on it something, but bare phone does not work

Yeah just tried it, doesn't work at all with a case on, if I remove it I also have to remove the adapter on the dock, so the phone doesn't sit correctly.
Someone on Amazon said the Z2 Dock works fine with the Z2 Tablet if you use one of the included adapters, I might give that ago.
Does anyone know where I can purchase extra adapters? I didn't get any in my box but wish to convert my wife's Z1 dock.
Anyone know where to get this charger in Canada? sonystyle.ca isn't even around anymore and all Sony stores have closed in Canada.
Their customer support tells me that I cannot buy this accessory or any Sony products directly from them in North America. I can't find any resellers selling this old accessory and I have no interest in an ebay knockoff.
Seriously what the hell is going on here?

Well, it is quite old now and has been replaced by the Z4. I found some Canadian sites though:

Both of these sites are not based in Canada. One is based in the US and the other in the UK. Thanks for searching though.
Does anyone know if it is possible to use this dock while the tablet is in the official flip cover (SCR12)?
Thx
