Black Spots on camera - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys
Its being a year with my Z...had lot of problems
But This one is major now,Camera got some weird black spots
Any solution for it?
Regret buying this phone
I've done evrythng...my lens is not scratched...but the ports of usb and earphones are damanged

brother, we're in the same boat.. although you're using Z but it's same as my ZL. Currently i have the same issue as yours but i'll fix it by replacing the camera part..
Now, i'm afraid that the camera would be damaged again, so i use Sony QX-10 as alternative.

I'm already having problems with ZR (it's 10 days old) I have a friend with a Z and he hasn't got any problems, go for Z, or better buy an HTC or Samsung seems to me SONY are releasing a lot of faulty devices.

what's wrong with yours ?
I brought my ZR with my friend and he brought the SP together. SP is good for who want a cheaper price, not targeting for a better camera. For SP, you can set the notification LED colors for different apps but ZR cannot. If you think the prize for ZR is reasonable, and you want better battery experience, quad cpu, waterproof phone, replaceable battery, then ZR is a good choice. SP seems a little heavier as it uses metal case I think. One more major difference is that ZR has cover for micro usb and headset plug. It's a little inconvenient but some will take those covers as a plus as they can protect the phone from dust. Also ZR is obviously smoother in my point of view.
All in all, if you don't think price is a major problem and the function of the phone is important to you, then I think ZR is your choice.

The screen became unresponsive and now it's gone for repairs. There are already 2-3 people with the same problem in the forum. Maybe it's just bad luck.

Replacing the camera on the i9000 possible ?

Hi,
I was thinking of replacing the camera on my Galaxy S i9000 because it is ... lets say just bad . Is it maybe possible to replace the original camera from the i9000 with any other smartephone camera, maybe the one from the S2 or something similar ? Would this work from a software side ? Are the connecters interchangable ? Somebody with experience can tell me if this would work remotely in any way ?

Could you tell me why ? software or hardware wise?
There just isn't another camera that has the same connections to be an easy swap, then there's camera firmware, and getting the phone to speak to a camera not made for it.
It would be possible for the kind of guy who actually designs the electronics of these phones, not a job for you or I.
Basically, if you want a better camera then you have to buy a better phone. A shame I know because the i9000 is a great little phone.

I9000 compatible with I9001?
Hi. I have a different question. I want to replace my mother's I9001 camera lens with a new one because it's not working properly.
But searching the web I found that the I9000 camera replace is cheaper and more common than the I9001's. So, will the I9000 camera be compatible with my I9001? For the pictures I saw they are slightly different, but some sites sell them as for i9000/i9001.
No :thumbdown:
I bought 9000 camera in phone service and replaced my self, when you turn phone on and open camera app it writes
Could not connect to camera
I returned them and they cleaned my lenses , then after one week i tryed to do same and i now totaly usless camera, on ebay they are 19 $

In my hunt for a better camera I just replaced my camera lens with a new one from ebay ( about 5 €) and I'm very happy with the results.
I think it's clear wich picture is from before and which one from after the swap

If you just want an android phone, look at samsung or lg.
If you want Xperia now, go get t2 ultra, its screen is better, front cam is better, and runs 4.4.2 (same as ZR), and can app2sd.
The only situation when I will recommend this phone (again, in 09/2014) is the fact that it can switch batteries.

First of all, thanks
I want a phone not more expensive than this phone. I checked for T2 ultra. It's cpu, gpu, memory is lower than ZR
I just wanted to know if ZR devices have any particular problem? does it get new updates?
Thanks

Yes, the specs are slightly lower classed, but the ability to app2sd sort of nailed it.
As for update, for ZR, after the planned 4.4.4, I highly doubt 5.0 will ever come.
A very good phone

i think it is the best phone that you can get with the same price
very good phone and i have no issues with it and i can play any game without lag and it performs really good
about apps2sd i use foldermount and this is not a problem for me
the only thing is, that sony released a lot of updates to it and we might not see android L but android 4.4.4 is just days away
Recommended
Price/Performance: I get around 33U$ I still find it worth the price, now some shop in my country was down price to 26U$.
Water-Resistance: I found it easier to clean, Use when you go to bathroom etc.
Prime camera: The main reason I'm still use Sony... Even an after-sales service suck so bad in my country.
Not Recommended
Price/Performance: Some phone have cheaper price with nearly performance: like Moto G, Xiaomi etc.
Water-Resistance port-cap: I found sometime it made me annoy to open, which quite difficult on this model(I'm use Xp Acro S before, it whole lot easier)
Front Camera: yeah let have VGA front cam... which can only find in a phone below 20 U$ (except from sony lol)
Speaker sound: Since it on the back of the phone you barely hear it clear or loud... except you turn it around, turn a volume up or used you hand to redirect a sound.
Internal Storage: 8GB.... while system eat up nearly 3GB. and no way to move app to SD card without a root.
And some rumor I heard was All Z series will have Android L for sure.
ps. I'm not good with english

As I said, a rumor.
Source from a shop in my country, Its in Thai language. that why I won't quote at first place.
If you want to read, here
https://www.facebook.com/sonyxpth/p...1312/796772170365461/?type=1&relevant_count=1
They said
"Every Xperia phone in Z series going to have an update to Android L.
Congrats all of Z series owner.
The other series are not going to have it.
Got it?"
Still no more trust worthly source talk about this yet.
Cons: You pay extra for the xperia brand, get a Xiaomi or Oppo etc. if you dont care about waterproofing etc.
Pros: ITS WATERPROOF. Also its exactly the right size for a phone IMO.
Totally worth it.

Z1, can you abuse waterproof?

Hello
Would i be able to freely take pictures underwater with this cellphone or is there a certain limit of times it can dive underwater?
is it stil worth buying it in 2014 for 375 bucks?
Is it better than the g2?
I used my phone to take picture this summer every day for about half hour a day. I even recorded few videos per day.
My friend uploaded one to youtube so i will share you here.

P.s. Not a single problem on my unit after "abusing" waterproofnes.

Z1 is old model now and I prefer you to get the Z2 instead or the latest Z3 if you have enough budget
It is able to take photos or videos underwater by using the volume up/down or camera button
You can use it as many times as you want

Hm thanks, i'd get the z2 but the price jumps from 370 bucks to 470 bucks. i don't see the need since the only upgrade i notice is the snapdragon 801 wich isn't that much of a upgrade.

Not only that,the speaker was upgraded to dual front stereo speakers and also a 3GB of ram with IPS display.Btw,that is your choice on getting the Z1...

Price is out of my range :/
btw, does this phone scratches easily? does it have that scratch film that if you remove removes the logo with it?
Edit:
I got another question aswell, if you say the z1 isn't worth it, would u say it'd be better to get a LG G2?

Yes the Z1 have the scratch film that removes the Sony logo if you remove it.I'm not sure about it as I use the Z only.Simply buy a case and cover so that it won't be scratched.
Comparing to the LG G2,it has 5.2" IPS display while Z1 is 5.0" TFT display.Other than that,all specs are exactly same.Of course,Z1 has the dust and waterproof IP rating...
So it depends on which brand you are looking for and try to get a hands on on both devices.

cool cool. thanks c:
It is absolutely worth buying! Great original rom(my first phone without a custom rom), great dev options(damn, I just love Flashtool!), waterproof, great camera(manual or with Xposed), physical camera button, great specs and I also love the design! I always root my phones(first thing I do after a proper charge) and had ghosttouches! Was easy to fix, just changed the clearpad settings(root is needed because clearpad is a system file)! Only the speaker disappoints me!

It is in my hands finally.
I've never seen such an awesome smartphone ever, and also i don't know if it is because i got the "newest" version, but the viewing angles are just great, i can actually see everything looking at an angle of about 140 degrees.
the phone feels so good, but the speaker is in a bad place, you cover it up while gaming, it heats up quite a lot when gaming but that was to be expected.
i still haven't risked placing it underwater thou, a lot of complaints of malfunction after doing that.

The camera you found is not for your exact model but since the G2 variants don't differ that much, especially in the camera, i think it's safe to buy. If it's wrong. it's just 6 dollars

I had the fuzzy and shaked pictures problem too, but I figured that the problem is the magnet of the speaker... The camera has its own magnets to control the lens, but the speaker magnet is very close, so this "interference" causes that the camera dont focuses properly... My fix was put a layer between the camera module and the speaker, and now the camera works like new!
