Well,
Trying to find a purple xperia Z , been recently interested in getting this mobile.
Searching online I came across a rather simple but question.
What is actually written on the back side of the mobile. On some sites and images I can see it is "XPERIA" and on some other sites, I can see it is "SONY". Just seen in a google image search, although very few with "SONY" written on them.
I was about to make a deal with a "SONY" one but wanted to be cautious of buying a genuine mobile, instead of being ripped off with a ditto chinese clone .
Can someone confirm to me what is the difference and am I making a mistake in recognizing any one of them.
Thanks for your input.
Mine says XPERIA on the back. Black handset purchased in the UK. I'm not sure if others say anything different though.

Can someone please confirm this...

Hello community,
Im just disappointed! Why? I'll tell you. I bought the Xperia SP 4-5 weeks ago.
I found some processing errors like:
1 small dead pixel on the right side of the touchscreen. (It sucks!)
The back cover doesnt fit 100%.
The back cover creaks sometimes, when I push on it.
I got the white Xperia SP and the aluminum frame got also an error. The color of the coating spalled in some places.
Picture: (made by another user with the same problem)--- http://s7.directupload.net/file/d/3352/taq33t6j_jpg.htm
I didn't drop the phone or something else.I always handled it very well.
Btw. that WLAN range issue sucks also a lot.
I will never buy any shi* from Sony again.
Sorry, but Im just angry! I paid 350€ and then this...
My questions: Got anyone else problems with the SP like me? Could I reclaim the phone because of that processing errors and the wifi error?
If under warranty I would send back because of dead pixel/screen probs.

Just wondering... Always thought, that Sony is a premium brand, which stands for quality, lol.
Maybe they are, but not on smartphones.
I`ll contact my provider and describe them my problems, hope, I'll get a new one without any errors.
Ty for your answer!

You must be under warranty!!! take it Back dont even think about it and demand for a new device. I paid 290 for it and i live in Greece (the most expensive place on earth) so i would not like it either if it sucked as a phone.
As for Sony not to be a fanboy but all my phones were bought from Sony (and Ericsson) and i was pretty pleased with the construction quallity.
Dead pixels suck, go get a new one since it should be under warranty. The back cover creaking is quite a common problem (I have it too), so I guess you can either get a hard case that fits, or just live with it.

Yea, you're right! The camera is also bad, but the cameria isn't very important for me.
I already contacted the provider, where I bought it, via E-Mail. Still waiting for an answer.
Hello everyone,
I need some help. I live in Dubai and I'm going to buy a Z1 in the coming days. My problem is - I want to know how to tell straight away whether my phone is the one with a defective yellowish tint or a normal brilliant sony display. Im more or less a noob and reading through the threads here I haven't been able to ascertain this and instead have been left quite confused.
I was hoping one of the experts on here could help me come up with a quick way (e.g. turning it on and checking for a setting or firmware etc.) or even just turning it on and looking for something in particular. This is something I can quickly do in the retail outlet without waiting till I get home and then coming back and fighting with the store (as is commonplace in the middle east haha). I had the Z before and now I'm using a horrible horrible BB Z10 and the only thing stopping me from walking into a store and picking up the Z1 is this!
Thanks in advance.
Hello!
You can go to setting > about device > diagnostics > test device > scree and see if I is white or yellowish, if you ware not sure about it, go to the same place on the phone showed for testing and compare them.

Checked it one month ago in Sony Store at Dubai Mall (right ahead when You come from rail-station "Dubai Mall" entering the mall). Compared exhibit devices with my Z1: all the same brilliant screens ............... people were quite nice there, shouldn´t be a problem to check Your purchased device: if screen is pure white and sharp under the illumination at Dubai Mall Your device is okay. Maybe You can ask them to let You check against a Galaxy Note in the store opposite to Sony´s when You leave a full deposite ...............
Greetings ...............
Lolol lots of people who had white screens noticed yellow hue after fw change... IMHO all screen are the same, just need to adjust colors....

Ok guys, as many of you knows, almost everyone has this touch screen problem with Xperia Z1, and i was one of them... I had to change the phone 3 times untill get a working one.
Here is the cause:
We have a lot of Xperia Z1 phones being made in Brazil, they are the C6943, C6903 and C6906 versions. My 2 problematic phones was made here, now my working phone is made in China....
The phones manufactured here are having assembling problems, this is causing a bad contact issue resulting on a fault touch screen. Make a test, tap the back of your phone and see if it will sound solid. If not, you problably have the issue.
The phones made here are being send to the entire world so please check on the box of your Xperia if its write "Made in Brazil".
I hope this can help you guys to change your faulty phone for a good one, remember, if this is your case change for a made in China one!

Mine is from brazil, Lower part sounds solid while the upper sound hollow
Mine is Made in China and I got Touch Screen problem so this thread is irrelevant.
I think its useful because the store told me about this problem with manufacturer, maybe you can be an exception....

Just to clarify, the store called to manufacturer here in brazil and they said that was their fault, so this is one cause and as i can see brazilian ones are not the only, but for me until now all fine with chinese version

Then can be the same with China version but they do not say anything. It's like the guy who saying only Black and White Z1 have this problems and not the Purple one. Come on!

I understand you, and to complement i compared side to side the brazilian z1 and chinese z1 and they have some differences, the front face of chinese is more robust than the brazilian one, the hole of speaker on the top is smaller and better placed, the sensors are more visible and better placed too and the back of the phone is solid as rock, so i really believe that the Brazilian manufacturer made the phone with 3rd class pieces...
EDIT: But you are having this issue with a chinese one, so we have another kind of issue beyond Brazilian 3rd class pieces....
the hollow and clicking sound at the top is the camera lenses moving about, they are held with springs and have some freedom of movement...

Hi everyone, I just got my brand new Sony EP880 charger from Ebay. However that's charger look suspicious and feel not solid to me. The Sony logo on that and the spec are writed in totally different layout. Cant verify it as genuine or not!!!! Pls help
First pic: That's the charger I need to verify. Look very suspicious
Second pic: My original charger from Sony Z1 box
This is my original Z1 charger, I cannot be of any more help than this. I don't know for sure if the one you bought from Ebay is fake or not, seems a bit off to me, couldn't say why though, maybe the scan image looks a bit strange, but I might be wrong.
EDIT:
Looking more closely at my image and yours, the Sony logo on the Ebay one is way different, the print of the word "Charger" is also not well aligned, it's got the letters up and down in the same line. Don't know, but it doesn't look exactly right to me.
Also, on the S/N line, at the end of that line, on the original ones (yours and mine there is written SEM0600.1, on the one from Ebay, there is only SEM0600. Again, don't know for sure, but it's just looking suspicious indeed.
It can be fake as from china on eBay there is a tons of this crap and Yes, the charger do not look right but maybe a Quality Supervisor at Sony Company didn't mind about unlined letters..lol...
I will send it back whit some excuse that the charger do not work...
I posted mine.
Hey @eclyptos ... How is it that i always find atleast one post from u in any thread in the Z1 forum....u must love xda

I do my best.
Your charger is genuine, at least for me.
I have both type of charger seen in this topic. Looking at the end of the line beginning with "S/N", the OP charger ends with SEM0600, while with the others end with SEM0600.1.
The charger that was provided with my phone is a SEM0600.1, the one I bought from Amazon Fr (http://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B009WWJI28/?ie=UTF8&psc=1) is a SEM0600. And they both have a different "Sony®" logo.
....or maybe it's a well made fake!
BTW, if you don't have problems in charging your phone I will not be worry about it.
im wondering, i know the z1 and z1s are basically the same device with the z1s being the tmobile variant. can anyone confirm the back (shattered) glass is the same from the z1 to the z1s? i have searched high and low for the specific z1s back that says tmobile...cannot find anything but the stock z1 glass.
im fine with the z1 glass, actually id like to debrand the phone as much as possible but...i need to know it fits prior to ordering.
thanks in advance for the feedback.

Due to the fact that they have slightly different dimensions, maybe the back glass dimension will be different too i think...
Maybe go to the store and compare the back panel of those physically?

Of course you wont find z1 in official stores
try 3rd party (I dont know what to call them ) stores? (the not official ones, but have a nice reputation)
this poor chap is a year old...
No official store wants to put a "high end" phone which has 2 big brothers already released and whose price has dropped to around $30-40, and has specs which are not typically "high-end" anymore according to current market.
