I bought z1c 3 days ago. It is a very nice handy phone. But I have a problem with the battery life. When I go to sleep the battery life percentage shows 82%, but in the morning it shows 61%. It means almost 21% of battery life lost when phone idle or stand by. Mobile data was also disable at night. I can't understand what I will do. Can you pls help me out about this issue?
Thanks.

    Very good phone.Everything u need from top smartphone is here.Although for me the camera is not the best, but still capable producing something amazing. The best thing about this phone is the processor,its very smooth.Surfing the web is a joy very smooth and the screen size perfectly fit for me.Another best thing is waterproof. Im using motorcycle and caught with heavy downpour after juz 2 days buying this phone,phone was completely wet but its survive without any problem!!!although i need to dry the casing..

        Sam, 08 Apr 2014Thanks for your prompt reply Danny but i would rather stick... moreRazr i isnt fully compatible with Android apps because it has an Intel processor, and Razr i isnt very high performance due to low RAM, the CPU is good but what does it help when it doesnt have enough space to do its job.

        If you want a really fast phone at a cheap price then go for BlackBerry Z10, it runs the majority of Android apps, about as many as Razr i can run, but Z10 has 2GB RAM to make sure you never experience any performance hiccups, and with BB10 being a QNX based Microkernel OS it performs much better with only a dualcore than any Motorola does. Feel free to read more about QNX to understand why microkernels are the best for systems with limited performance where high reliability and security is extremely important, and true mutitasking or functionality is not sacrificed (like in WP and iOS). QNX is even used to control nuclear power plants, you will never see Android doing that.

            This is the best gadget i have seen till date..the perfect screen size, packed with everything offered in high-end phones with too much big screen, 4.3" is best for a phone, and this is called portability, it's sad to see lots of smartphones these days comes with 5"+ screen, which is not a good thing, this will be my next buy, still price is too much according to my liking, hope it'll decrease by 10k at least in Pakistan, really love this device...keep it up sony! Take that HTC and Samsung!

              Sam, 08 Apr 2014I'm interested in buying a phone next week but confused bet... moreWhat you want is the Motorola Razr i, does what you want better than those 3 mentioned, at 1/3 the price. Trust me on this one.

                Hi Guys,

                I found an issue with my Z1C

                While receiving incoming call, speaker turns on automatically.
                Its a known issue observed by many users.
                Check the link below

                A known fix is to go to settings > apps > all > phone > clear data.
                It is working fine for me now.

                Thanks,

                  I'm interested in buying a phone next week but confused between this, htc one mini & galaxy s4,my main concern are:
                  1) Good enough camera (as i love to click photos)
                  2) Loud enough ringtone (audible even at crowded places)
                  3) Great call quality (don't wanna stick my phone to my ear to listen to my callers or be like a deaf person).
                  So which of these 3 has all these qualities?
                  Thanks in advance.

                          1 week experience with z1C
                          1.) Fast Phone
                          2.) Upgraded to KitKat with no issues via PC.
                          3.) Fingerprint Magnet.
                          4.) Disabled all Bloatwares and Uninstalled some.
                          5.) Installed CleanMaster and it's working well.
                          6.) Enabled Battery Stamina for much better Battery experience.
                          7.) Battery is a day or 2 depends on activity.
                          8.) Gaming experience is fast but small screen seems to be the limit. (it's a phone btw not a Phablet)
                          9.) Main Camera and Front Camera is Good but not that great.
                          10.) Maybe a 4.5" screen would have been Better.

                          It's a great Phone and it's worth the Money, Got mine for around Php 19,000.

                                        This means there is no need of task killer to free Ram. I have dumped it.

                                        Kitkat update (14.3.A.0.681) is available on update centre. Should I update to kitkat. Is there any way to remove notification of system update?
                                        I have read on various forums that sound bug has been fixed in latest update.

                                        Are there any other critical issues found in kitkat update?
