Hey!
Now Im lucky Xperia Z owner, and Im thinking about sound quality. It's poor isn't it? Music is quietly and I don't know how can I fix it. The bass is not that what should be.
Maybe it is problem with stock headphones? Maybe Im to demanding? What do you think about?
Greetings!

which headphones do you use?
So far I've only seen praises about the sound quality (non speaker)
It could be numerous things:
You don't like it.
Broken headphone.
Too low volume.
Try playing with the equalizer a bit.
Odp: Poor sound quality
Im using sony stock earphones, that were in the box.
I used some equalizer settings but still it isn't that what should be.
Even Poweramp died

That could be it
Generally all waterproof Sony phones(?) have lower volume.
I've tried the Xperia GO(owner) and V, and they had nothing on the Arc S or S.
Maybe you should try using Bluetooth connection or a different device for music.
Odp: Poor sound quality
Yes, it's just stock earphones problem.
I've pluged other earphones and sound quality is better. Sony earphones sucks

Interesting because they are possibly the best stock headphones available

It was probably just your earphones. It should be covered by 1year accessories warranty.

in my experience with previous phones, the headphones that come free with phones ALWAYS suck massive donkey balls.
I always chuck them away and use headphones I have researched and bought elsewhere.
Its Sony, i'm sure the music will sound great on the phone with much better headphones.
Odp: Poor sound quality
So maybe I'm too demanding?
On walkman app sound is a little bit bettet than poweramp app but is quiet. Normalize option is off but music still going louder or quieter.
I like loud crystal clean sound and I can't obtain it on the stock earphones...

It could be the headphones. However the Qualcomm dac is known to be quiet. Check out the nexus 4 reviews.
At the end of the day it's a hardware limit and thereisn't much you can do.
If you want sound quality you need something with voodo. Support.
Audio quality through Bluetooth will generally be worse then sound directly from the jack.
Hi, will there be anything in the future to make it louder, like on the note 2 there was a hack to make it much louder when rooted.

I think the volume using my urbeats headphones is very good but just not enough bass. From I can remember sony's supplied headphones are always awful! low output and no bass.

The supplied earphones have tons of bass for me. If anything I find them lacking a bit on the mid / high end but certainly not bass. Have you tried with different size attachments?
No comparison should be made of these to the cheap crap that comes bundled with Samsung, HTC etc. They might not be perfect but these are leagues ahead.
They may also just need to be "burnt in" in a bit.

He had already stated that quality is better when he changes headphones i.e. the stock headphones are not as good as he wants.
But you take this opportunity to once again criticize the "hardware limitation" of the phone. :banghead:

OBVIOUSLY switching from a low end set of headphones will sound worse then a high-end.
OBJECTIVLY the DAC is inferior to many found on Samsung's devices and Apple's own Iphone. The only OEM attempting to address this is HTC (By adding a built in Amp).
Don't believe me? Check out GSM arenas reviews on S4 devices and the HTC DNA. The DNA is superior due to better hardware which Sony Neglected to add.
Probably the one thing I miss about my htc one, along with the boom sound, external speakers kinda blow in The Z1.

You should change your phone because this doesn't have any of those.

Try Flipboard, it is similar to blinkfeed

I use Socialife. Not nearly as attractive as Blinkfeed but it does the job.

Yeah quite a few people have always rubbished HTC sense, I have always really liked it more that any other phone OS out of the box.
Never used blink feed before, sounded like nonsense to me when I first heard about it, but yeah Sony's closest to that would be social life which IMO is crap to use never updated properly.
I think I recall a developer in the Xperia Z forum doing a whole HTC Sense project for the Xperia Z, maybe he has some way to port that over for you. Might pay to have a look over there as well.
Flipboard is probably your best bet.

True, didn't even think of that, well because I had never set up my social media part, will give it a go.
I think he might have been referring to nice widgets for the stream updates.
Hi, did you ever find anything similar/ as good as BlinkFeed? Am also considering the switch to the z1 from the HTC 1

There is a new launcher that is being developed on xda-developers that is meant to be a clone of Sense 5. Here is a link to the thread:

I haven't had time to test it yet.
I've an option of swapping my xperia z for a ZL for a small cost. What do u guys think? I love my ZL but the newer Z is tempting.
All opinions welcome . it will help me to decide

Zl is better if you want a compact phone, but i would go for the z, becoz it has more devs.

no..i meant Z..its new in the box. not newer than z1.
BTW i decided against this swap - went to a sony store to check out the Z against my ZL...didnt quite like the bigger size and the flaps ..have a sony digicam with the flap which broke in a year..so not a big fan of that design..plus it feels bigger in hand..so decided to keep my ZL even though the deal itself was definitely good ..

Z bro..more dev.
Sent from my C6603
For me, the Z was too big.
Also, because of the shape and backplate, it's not comfortable to hold in 1 hand.
The ZL is much better, 7.5(!!)mm shorter and 2mm narrower.
Also has infrared and camera-button.
Z has more devs and waterproof.
Just decide which are important for you

Hello guys,
I flashed the latest rooted kk firmware. I also got myself. 99 recovery. I'm mostly receiving calls and calling already saved contacts, but I saw that.
I genuinely can't make any calls to new not saved numbers, I can't hide the numeric buttons there either. Green call button doesn't show up at all. Any ideas?

Caused by the gravitybox with "fixed volume buttons issue". After I disable the gravitybox it's working again.

XDA used to be more private. You could only see pictures if you're logged in and same with links. I have no idea why they removed those security features.
Has anyone here been able to get 2days of battery life out of the Sony z1. If you did how? What ROM,kernel,and settings? Been desperately trying to get one day out of my phone

Did you under clock CPU? Cause I never gotten more than 2 days of normal usage since like stock Sony kk on lollipop I never got passed one day
use the ultra stamina mode from mx rom, i guess that can easily get you through
