White or Black color? - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys ,i have decided to get this phone and i was wondering about the colors. I really like the white one cause it looks more premium and fresh ,but how about stains and coloring? Has any of you White Z1 users experienced it? Maybe the black is better in terms of this?

Z2 costs way more + Z1 is a good upgrade over my current LG O4X ,and i think i will be good with mods too.
But for now ,the color is what im worried about.

I'm not sure about the price in your country but it is a small difference of the price in my country.
The Z1 screen had a bad viewing angle and yellowish screen.
Z1 also can be bend easily.
Just my opinion.
Btw,I prefer white colour...

In my country now it is about 70 euro which is about 100$ of difference,
and the ASF is the only one that bothers me for Z1 now ,screen seems ok ,and i guess if it bends i can get it covered under warranty as a defect.

Back Glass crack, help?

Hello guys,
I'm from Brazil and here we still don't have the new Xperia Z, but I bought one in Europe and now I have a problem.
I really don't know how, but the glass on the back is cracked. It's on the inferior left corner.
The problem is that now I'm not able to use it without looking this crack.
Is there any place that has this glass??? I don't think it's easy to change it because it's waterproof, so I guess it's not that easy.
Sorry for my bad english, but I really need help of you guys.
Thank you

It's easy to change, the back part is just glued to the front part, there was a video that showed that you can remove the back part just by heating up the back part.
But I don't know where you can buy spare parts I think it will be expensive though.
Here is the disassemble video:

I don't hope it was because of some heat source from the phone itself. That would mean trouble for all of us.

I don't understand do you use the back of your phone a lot?
Same here. I am from Viet Nam. And my Black Glass screen - FRONT SCREEN is broken from hear speaker to left size of the screen. Now i can use this phone Normally but anything i have is half touchscreen. So Harder to control it .....
I waiting to some place sell this LCD parts. I think the LCD and Touch panel is 1 parts and that part is too too too expensive. And Heard somewhere when we replace the Touchscreen this phone is not have water proof......
What the suck Dragontrail glass......and SONY logo !! dude..... i can believed this glass it broken easily !! And now i dont know how it broken. I just charging the phone over night.....

He might not, but I can imagine that it's annoying when you know that there is a crack on the back.
Same as when you do a test to see if there are dead pixels, you see some, but you only see them when you do the test, many people might be annoyed by the fact that there are dead pixels.

I'd understand if it was on the front, but this is on the back, and for some reason, when there's nothing wrong the front he feels he has to look at the back?

Yes, I saw it, thanks for that, but it's out of stock..... unfortunately
between you and me.
Glass of the phone is "piece of s_h_i_t". Annoying and "unlimited" finger prints makes this phone looks like $200 Chinese copy.
Plus another problem with screen cracks like on Nexus 4.
Great job keep it up :silly:
Another Broken Class
Yes same here, my back glass cracked...... Its was in my pocket then I pulled my phone out and put it on a leather couch, within seconds I heard a "Tick" I picked up my phone and the glass had cracked.
Hot in the pocket and cold leather couch made this glass crack. also happened to my wifes phone 20mins ago when she put it on the kitchen bench.... that's what made me write this to this thread.
Massive fault with this phone. Totally ruined the IP rating now which was the reason why I brought this phone. And there is no where selling replacements of glass yet.

WTF man ?
Read my post again.
Did I said I don't like the phone?
Did I said I don't like a design?
Did I said I like plastic more ?
The glass/quality of the phone is ****ty garbage. Because is getting dirty/dust so easy + hard to clean.
Totally when the phone is dirty it looks like a Chinese copy.

same issue is with i hav given my phone in service center they are annoying that it was a physical damage but after request they accepted the phone said that there is no scracth and pressure on it we send this phone to there head office in the research team in manufacturing plant they will check the phone heather it was external damage or itself hell this time sony customer service is very poor in the custumers service apple and samsung are vry good aplle was best in case of customer service i left my phone on charging overnight more than 9 hours dont knon when the glass is broken when i wake up and remove my phone the back glas is broken a hair line type crack is there from top to bottom edge to edge it was not noticable but it was broken hell this time with the sony poor customer service even the service center talk rudly what can we do the its not tough as steel sony was clamig that it was the toughest phone in the market and all ....
This could be a serious problem that could affect all devices, I always charge the phone at night, stays that way like 7-10 hours, I didn't thought that it could crack when the temperature varies. Not cool SONY!
Wow, this topic got me worried a lot.
After having a look at this video I tought it would be strong:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=o3yMw2L3tJA
As that guy sure is smacking the phone all over the place without any damage left to the phone.
I think your problem must have something to do with heat when charging.
But that should not be a problem as this phone is also "snow proof".
Taking it from the snow to inside should make it crack aswell then?
Sure hope you guys get your phones fixed soon.
Kind regards, Stefan.

[Q] Without - Anti Shatter Film - display

Hi guys
Currently I'm using an s3 .. But am going to buy a new phone next month and I'm confused between Xperia Z and the Htc one
The only thing which I dont like about the Z is that when using the anti shatter film , the phone doesn't have good display from some angles ..
So I've searched alot to see if there is a difference in display after removing the anti shatter film .. But I found nothing
Any ideas ?
Thanks in advance
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Well I must say I removed mine the other day and in my eyes the screen colours look better and to be fair that was the best thing I done for my phone is to take that **** off from the screen.
I have still got mine on and sorry can you tell me what angle is meant to be bad because I can't find it (if you understand what I am saying)
I cannot fault the XZ I have just had it over 2 months and extremely happy with it

Make it clear that with the latest firmware update, the Xperia Z received a significant improvement in Question colors, angles and contrast of the screen!
I removed my ASF and noticed an improvement in the brightness of the screen!

" the phone doesn't have good display from some angles "
I think the Z's display is fantastic. The fact that the viewing angle is somewhat narrow has an upside in that ambient light seems to be blocked out more effectively.

not only that, but there are 2 things i don't understand with this "viewing angle craze":
1. what person uses their phone while looking at it from a narrow angle ?
i'd say that probably 99% of the time, everyone uses their phone looking more or less straight at the display.
2. when i look at the prices for extra foils that secure the device from people looking over your shoulder... i'd say we already have that feature for FREE !!! (you know, it's not a bug, it's a FEATURE ! ).
Also, from what i could see (and read) about FW .253 the "problem" seems to be mostly gone or can at least be minimized through the new display balance settings.
More importantly: as long as you don't have another phone to compare it with you, you most likely won't have as much of a problem with the display as everyone says.
At least i know that i don't have any problems with it, i actually love the display (but i had a Xperia Arc before, so the bigger, brighter screen with its hd resolution is rather impressive in comparrison :cyclops: )

The display is fantastic really.
Whilst flashing 253 update and wiping the z, I used my mint GS3 to do some work. Talk about an eye strain looking at text after using the Xperia Z for 2 months.

i agree with you,, 99% smartphone users tend to view it straight on..(including me)
IMO for bad viewing angles as they say, well for me its a very good thing,, of course i dont want my seatmate or anyone reading what messages im reading on,, what if you have some transactions with and will probably they will knew about it cause of the better viewing angle.. privacy issues right..
when watching movies or photo viewing, ur not watching a movie tilted..always dead on..
and on topic with ASF,,,i suggest not to remove it.. protection for unwanted scratches yes, but the best thing to do put thin screen protctor on top ASF.. if it wont bother you..

Have you tried treating your screen with for example a car glass wax? Keeps it free from fingerprints for quite some time without the need to get a screen protector replacement.

A unique problem on my Xperia T

Hello fellow Xperia T users..
I have a slight problem.
I have a small smear mark inside my screen...on my Sony Xperia T. It can only be seen in light or white backgrounds...
My phone is second hand, so god knows what the previous user has done to it..
I do not want to send it to Sony for repair due to costs.
So hence I'm asking if anyone can advice.
If I do a screenshot of the screen..the mark is not produced in the picture.
I have checked by taking off the screen protector and cleaning the screen, but the mark is still there...
It's just abit annoying....

Hey i have the same "problem" as you i guess! I have it for a very long time now, but i have white pixels on my screen, its like 3 dots that you see on white or even just light backgrounds, its really annoying. I think its a dead pixel, im gonna try one of those dead pixel remover or something and gonna tel you tomorrow if it worked.

Would I notice any difference between the mini and the Z1

I've been offered one for my Z1, I looked at a few reviews, they look quite good and more/less the same spec, has anyone got one....a mini that is

Yeah but that's like the only difference. Seriously. That, and that the Compact has a bit better screen and a lower capacity battery but less draining of a screen, so battery times would be about equal.
Smaller, more obviously compact, 720p vs 1080p on regular, doesn't make a difference anyways also the compact is IPS I think vs TFT on regular z1
Better viewing angles/screen size and resolution
Sent from my C6906 using Tapatalk
The Compact also has a plastic back instead of glass. Processor/camera/RAM/etc are all the same. Only differences are size, battery, external hardware, and screen.
Thanks.....I just find the z1 to big, will see if I can swap for one somewhere, or sell mine and try and get one

Nope... not a single one... and imo the viewing angles really aren't that bad... maybe i just got good panel but colors arent washing out on me... no matter what angle... its just that there must be a "problem" on every phone.
Btw lol my gaming rig has more performance than your server

I`m really thinking about buying one it seems like a great phone!
So Your Gaming Rig has Intel Xeon E5-2620 X4 Physical CPU`s? Right now the going price is like $400 a CPU
Or do you mean my Personal Computer?
if you consider viewing angle an important point, you better start looking at Xperia Z2 instead of Z1
things to watch out for.... the glass scratches easier than you thought, at least in my case
and Z1 still have that plastic anti shatter film on both sides, unlike Z2 which goes naked glass
you'll need a good tempered glass screen guard
Yes its the best phone ive touched !
And yes i was talking about your server no 4 physical cpus (would if could) but i have 2 Intel i7 4960X that costs about 1000 per one and they are oc'd to 4.5Ghz. so atleast same amount of speed... motherboard is EVGA SR-X 270-SE-W888-KR, videocards are Nvidia Titans x2 on SLI mode, 64Gb DDR3 ram, 2 240Gb SSDNow KC300s on RAID1 and some other stuff including self built liquid cooling etc. Case is Corsair Obsidian 900D
So yeah

Not really worried about viewing angles Just seen a few people complain , As long as it looks good to my eye looking directly at it .
I have just Ordered a White Z1 Brand New
Should have it tommrow. I ordered the C6903
You should've gotten the Z2 imo. It's more updated and would more likely get future proofing.

Z2 has its own bugs... like mic is really bad and back glass is loose and lots of software bugs... ofc there is fixes coming but still... $50 more for what ? slightly better camera optimization and smart call handling ?

I don't know. Maybe for the front facing speakers and the IPS display. Which is a big improvement imo because IPS display is just beautiful and since I like to watch movies a lot, the front facing speakers is what I prefer.

Yup, but its not so big of a deal to me, like i said, maybe i got good panel but my Z1 screen is really good... aand the speakers are bit quieter but i dont mind since i dont use them much... smartwatch handles notifications and basicly only thing i need speakers when im with friend and its really enough for that... For me, Z1 does fine, Best phone ive touched !
