Hi Friends This Is Thread Very Important Indian Users And Other Sony Xperia Users
Most Of The Indian Users used China Manufacture,Because China Produced Very Poor Camera Performance and Touch Very Bad Performance,
First I Buy Xperia Z C6602 In India INR 35,000 Rupees , I Not Satisfied With Camera and Touch And More Problems Water resistant Problems Leaks ,
Therefore I am going Import From Other Country That Model Having Supportable LTE Network and Amazing Camera Performance And No Water Resistant Problems , That Mobile Seller Says Your Mobile Xperia Z is Imported from SG (Singapore).I Buyied in Ebay
So How to Find Correct Manufacturing Country My mobile????????
India or not, all Xperia Z models are assembled in China as far as I know. If you're having issues with your touch screen/camera, I'd try a factory reset and RMA it if your faults still continue.

Hence me saying 'as far as I know'. I've never seen anything from Sony or from anyone with a legitimate device that pointed to it being manufactured anywhere other than China. Though whether or not they are manufactured elsewhere is a moot point, just because it was manufactured in China has nothing to do with your touch screen or camera being faulty.

Indeed. My UK unbranded handset was manufactured in China. Zero issues with it in the year I've had it.

Hey guys,
I am thinking to get a Z1, I am not living in the US (I live in Hong Kong) and here're my options:
- Asia Version (not Japan/Hong Kong/China)
Concern:
The quality (Some says the quality isn't as good)
The firmware upgrade (maybe they will come slower)
- USA version
Concern:
It needs unlocking
Both of which are same price, which is around $150 cheaper than every other version.
So my questions are:
Is unlocking the carrier lock difficult/unsafe?
I don't plan to use it for 4G. Is there anything else I should be aware of when I look to buy a Z1?
thanks for reading anyway, hope to get some answers to help me out

Unlocking is very easy and safe, and will be unlocked permanently.
thanks but I can't find a cheap unbranded Z1, they cost just as much as the Hong Kong version.
I guess US version is the safer option to go then?

It's worth knowing that until Sony fixes it, there is a problem with the camera breaking when the bootloader is unlocked.

He was saing about Carrer Lock. So I do not mentioned that. They have nothing in common. Unlock Bootloader is necessary only to flash custom roms with custom kernels.That's all.

Thanks for the correction, I misunderstood
Don't buy Z1 as there are many faulty units out there. It's a hit or miss on a good or sucky unit

What are you talking about? Where? When? Avoid this kind of bad information please, is not good for a life of a forum.
My Z1 is perfect and I have never had a better phone.
Go ahead with it. :good:

Seems like you are misinformed about the problems out there. Why dont you try visiting the sony forums and see for yourself.
I got mine fromm Singapore, is it Asia version? Dunno anyhow its provlem free except for the touch ossue that everyone have...
Screen is pretty, great blacks, device runs fast and and doesnt over heat. My serial is bh90l... Is that Asia version?
Sent from my C6903 using Tapatalk
so i have made my decision to just buy the japanese version.
The screen apparently is more red (he showed me a hk version and a japanese version) which I like a bit more.
It comes with a charging dock and a 32GB internal memory which I like a lot.
Problem:
Updating can get very troublesome, I think I will have to stuck with the not so good firmware (comes with the .534 firmware and not the .213, what's worse is that I don't think i will ever get the .213)
other than that, the phone is perfect, I am still playing around with the camera thoguh

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...

www.rounded.com is the only place I know of, but they're not cheap. They give prices in INR, so should ship to India. You could contact them and ask about shipping to your location.

Of course you can repair it. It's just not as easy as usual phones because of the water resistance (everything is glued to the frame).
See this thread for a guide on replacing the screen assembly.

I know the above video is for a screen replacement but if you watch it it will give you the knowledge to take down a Sony Xperia Z
This is the only firm that i could find to purchase a replacement gasket to reseal the back cover,for the sake of £3.00 i couldn't see the point in skimping, to have peace of mind that the phone was sealed properly

I am looking for spare parts for Sony DVD (model DVP-S9, serial number 3503281). I need the optical laser lens for it. Anybody can advice its availability
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.
I broke my xperia zr lcd a few months ago, and ever since i have trouble getting original lcd. In my country there is no support for this device, because it is for us market. I got one from ebay, it was broken, got one from aliexpress, it seems ok, but it was way of the original one. So please, would you help me out and post some online shops, even in your native language that sells genuine xperia zr lcd assembly? It needs to have lcd, touchscreen and frame alltogether.
