Hello everyone, this is my first post and sorry for my bad english
I have a problem with bravia engine 2 on my Xperia ZR, when I go to album and I choose a picture, it takes about 5-10 seg to BE2 to work and this happens in every picture I have, I don't know if this is normal but it's annoying.
Can someone tell me please if this is normal or what is the solution?
Thank You

Yes, it takes 3-4 secs for BE to kick in. I like BE because it makes the color of the pictures more vivid. If you pay full attention to the picture, you should be able to see the difference. But some pictures are more apparent than others.

Hey everyone! Since the Xperia Z hasn't any camera swich like the Xperia ZL or the Xperia Z, I was wondering if it has any quick start mode like an icon on the lockscreen which works when I have a code as unlock method.
Thanks in advance for any replys.

Yep there's a camera icon on the lock screen as well as a music icon. I think you can change these in the options also.

Yeah, I know they are there but I was asking if they are there too if the phone has a code as unlock method, because usually all quick start icons dissapear on Android when a code is selected as unlock method. I had the Xperia S with a camera switch which worked to take photos even if the phone had a code as unlock method.
As far as I can tell the pin unlock, face recognition and the pattern unlock are all google lockscreens hence you won't see any customizations on them. As a matter of fact on HTC phones when you select any of the 3 you would end up having 2 lockscreens to unlock. 1 is the sense lockscreen and next would be the one you've selected( pin unlock, face recognition or pattern unlock)

That would be interesting to know, also I've noticed that when you take photos whilst recording the megapixel is only 1, I hope an update ups this...

I think it is a good feature because say for example your watching a movie on your phone and you see a funny face or a nice car or whatever. You can take a pic/screenshot of it. I know you can do it on HTC One s/x, GN2 and now S3 since update to 4.1.2

Agreed! It is a great feature, I just hope Sony allow a higher megapixel when recording for the camera as 1mp isn't ideal!

I found out you can take screenshots whilst watching videos, which is good. Just have to hold power button/down on volume button.

Isn't that the "stock android" way of taking screenshots since 4.0 ? I think it's present in most 4.0+ phones, even with TouchWiz.
So sad that there is no Camera button .. but anyway its a really nice smartphone in my opinion..

So weird, I don't have such issue.
Or you can also reduce animation time, wish makes things seem like faster.

Change to "Animation Scale to .5x for:
Window Animation Scale
Transition Animation Scale
Animator duration scale

Are you using lockscreen replacement app like widgetlocker or lockerpro? I too ha've noticed similar problem esp when I am using 3rd party apps.
The screen wakeup is worse if you are trying to turn it on with in few seconds of pressing power bbutton. Coming from iPhone I found that super annoying

I have noticed that my sleep/wake time increased after updating to .253.
It is most likely due to the phone being in deep sleep which is a good thing. Less battery waste.
But think of it this way: when your alarm rings in the morning do you get up instantly? lool

I made this post to let everyone share his impression about the long waited android 4.3 To our beloved phones T/TX/V
share your thoughts =)
and Gratz lets w8 for our last hope the Kitkat =D
Update
after flashing the usa FTF i just used my mobile for 10mins and seriously i got a new mobile now! nicely done by Sony
Smooth and Graphic is eye blessing just gotta w8 till get rooted and get the smaller navigation bar cuz this one is kinda too big
i love the call animation too It`s a new phone now =) Gratz to everyone
Tx Owner
First we won't get kitkat and in March our 18 months are over and Sony has yet made it to get itself out of having to give us kitkat...
Now 4.3. I don't know I expected more. SP got the gloves mode for example and I don't know whether it is just the Vodafone version why aren't we getting an update center?
The cam looks good but lacks of functionality, for example the tap to focus and make picture is gone and the auto mode being chosen every time I open the app is not really optimal.
The lockscreen is a bit rudimentary but we all knew that before yes we got widgets but honestly what do they offer if I have to watch out not opening Walkman or when swiping left and right. Better optional app buttons and to have them on the lower screen half.
Then the Docomo status bar better than what we had before but definitely many steps behind other uis in that case.
Worst for me is that the buttons for navigation are almost third of the screen... Would it kill Sony to make that customizable?
My main parts I'm not yet updating and waiting for the modders to do their best
My Impression
It snappy ,looks nice ram usages is poor I don't know about battery life yet , sound quality seems to be enhanced :louder ,deeper bass, higher treble all round improvement P.S. for those who don't know first start up will be a tad laggy
Rep
It feels much faster than 4.1.2. I love the lockscreen and the design

I took the share your thoughts part as invitation to share my thoughts on both subjects mentioned.
And I advise you to just let people have their opinion and if I needed to release my frustration over that subject respect that too. Otherwise get out of the internet as you'll get offended every second website you visit.

Maybe no update centre is a hint that we will not get updated to kit kat?
Stamina mode and camera
- Stamina mode looks like its 2 versions back. It lacks of customization which is in SP and Z series. Besides the (inaccurate) timer there is nothing new. That mode was previously in 4.1.2 just now it looks better.
- Camera - first impression is that it makes better pictures in low light conditions but I cant find settings in menu for resolution and quality - itll be nice if someone tell me where it is.

I passionately hate the current Xperia lock screen. While I like using other lockscreens, sometimes the default lock screen over-rides it anyway, I think when memory is low. I know I can use a pin, pattern, etc, but I want to be able to look at my phone for a very few short seconds without all the fiddling. Worst Xperia lock screen yet. Even the X10 lock screen was better.

to me it seems a bit laggy compared to the .278 leaked version
i see a few bugs
First of all, what happened to the stock browser. is it android policy to pass to chrome in 4.3? I dont know about you, bt i dont feel any butter maybe the firmware still needs to get the hang of the device, vut for the moment it feels a bit laggy. Most important: What the hell happened to the volume bar?! i press the volume keys and ony a small grey rectengle appears, no indicator of volume level, i can hear the beeps increassing volume but i dont see it, and if you are in an app like RR3 it doesnt work! anybody had the same problem?

Hello all. I have a little problem. When I turn on camera it shut down itself after 30 seconds. It is a little problem, because I love to take macro shots, and sometimes it gets a lot of time to do a good photo with focus in good "position" (I don't know how it's called in english). Is there any way to change it? I mean to make it not auto shut down?
