No. I dont own the device. I wanna buy it. But I am worried about every issue that ZR has:
1- Not-working Bluetooth and Wifi
2- Weak USB Flap
3- Camera condesation
4- Bad sound recording
I know. The Z1C is better, but I cant afford it.
I can live with the VGA front facing camera, and 8GB internal memory.
So, Do you still recommed the ZR ?
EDIT . I added more videos to OP

I guess I'll give my opinion to the list you posted.
(I have my ZR for about 3 months already)
1. I think it is a factory defect since not all users experience it(Including me)
2. You can buy Its charging dock to avoid using the USB port and preserve its strength, anyways, its life will depend on how you open/close it. I always lift it up carefully then rotate it when I open it(not like others where they bend the cover when opening it.)
3. Same as number 1
4. You mean in Video recording? It does happen when you submerge it in the water, but will vanish when the water dries out. Its video recording is really quite decent (Despite the fact that recording 6 minutes of Full HD video will consume about 700mb already ).
If you really can't afford the Z1C then I can really suggest this phone. Just take great measures in choosing the store where you will get it.

1. never get any problem with that (i don t use bluetooth)
2. this is fine: in fact when it s new it s either fit too strong or not enough but with time it gets better and you can find a workaround.
However the headphone is pretty strong so it can be a problem if you listen music very often
3. Never got any condensation but I don t take picture so often too..
4. I don t know for the recording but the sound quality is a bit low. For music it s fine but very often I have problem to understand people on the phone but it s also a network problem...I think I m gonna buy a bluetooth earphone.
Also, the main speaker is on the back which very stupid when you play music...
For me, the main issue with this phone will be:
- internal storage: the system take something like 4.5 G so you get only 3 for you... and there is no simple solution to fix that except Root+FolderMount(app2sd..are not working)
- not so much developement: sony is slow to update and as this phone wasn t so popular not so many developers are working on it.
For instance, it s still not really clear if we will get Kitkat...
My advice: If you can have this phone for a really interesting price, go for it but don t forget the limitation and the probably very short support you will get (I think Sony will drop it next summer and everyone will move for Z1C or Z2 soom...)

I also have the same problem with video recording too, it seems like a problem in noise suppression department as voices are recorded clearly but enviroment and other sounds suck! earpiece had a loud enough sound until I tested water resistance and since then I have difficulty hearing the other party.
my flaps have been firm and had no problem with them. wifi is more than good. Pictures and movies quality are also good.

solved for me
Hi,
This helped me - I am on 4.2.2 xxxx .244, almost stock and rooted.
I have flashed the fix and seems to be OK now.

There is a simple decision of a problem.
It is necessary in a file snd_soc_msm_2x_Fusion3 ( \system\etc\snd_soc_msm\ ) To change it :
Name "Camcorder Stereo"
Comment "Dual MIC recording device"
From this ACDBID 545:2 to ACDBID 528:2.
We keep and reboot the device.

can someone post the /etc/audio_policy.conf from stock roms? thx.

[Q] Headset jack permanently damaged?

I was using my skullcandy headset on my phone and everything was working fine, until I (like an idiot) tried to adjust the headset gain value while the headset was plugged in. Then, I could hear buzzing in my earphones and when I plug it in, it says headset not supported. I tried a clean flash of the ROM to no avail. Then I flashed the Z3 sound files and tried, and it worked for a bit, but the sound was coming from both the headset and the speaker. So assuming it was an issue with the Z3 sound files, I flashed back the Stock sound files for mono. Now, it's not recognizing and headset or headphones(which was previously working when the headset wasn't being recognized) and when I pull it out of the jack, it says headset not recognized. Have I broken my headset jack? I use my phone for music, and this is really important. I'm praying I haven't and that there's a fix. Please help..

So looks like u have unlocked bootloader?
maybe refresh the kernel?

I do have an unlocked bootloader. I flashed v15 and it seems to be working with headphones (which don't have an inline mic) haven't tested the headset for fear of losing even headphones functionality. I'll test headset in the evening and if it doesn't work, I'll try a reflash of the kernel.
Is headset functionality also tied to kernel? I thought it was a ROM function. Really appreciate the help

If u are saying the the stereo mod v15, it is a bit buggy
i got left side and right side volume different = =""
this version may messed up with kernel volume control a bit
yeah everything is finally controlled by the kernel actually
Try using pimp my z1 and set value in Headphone analog gain, it fixed the s**t up (for me)
or if u want good and stable music quality, use dreamingonmusic v11z

I'll try the headset, see if it works, if not,reflash stock sound files, see if it works, if not reflash kernel. Thanks for all the help man, really appreciate it, you're awesome!
The problem arose when I tried changing the value on pimp my Z1 while the headset was connected. So I'm not playing with the pimp my Z1 settings anymore. Uninstalled it.

Maybe u should refresh the rom without any mod to test it instead, becoz the "stock mod" may not be able to completely clean off the s**ts

I reflashed the ROM. I'm hoping flashing the kernel fixes it.

Thanks man, narrowed down the issue. My headset is ****ed. The second I connect it, it's ****ing everything up. So that's the culprit. Simple reboot fixes it and I can use headphones.
Thanks so much for your help, unfortunately even a kernel reflash didn't help. I botched something with the headset when I adjusted the output while connected. Thanks a ton for your help and support. This is why I love xda. The power of the community.
Thanks a bunch.

Microphone and speaker

I installed the official Cyanogen 12.1-20151212-NIGHTLY-yuga on my wifes Xperia Z, when she use the phone and I speak to her the sound from her microphone is a bit crakcing. Not as clean as it was with the original Xperia android version. Also if she use the the big speaker when we talk it is very hard to hear what she is saying.
Also in the big speaker it crackles.
Is there any way to fix this?
