    Notification volume, I found a simple fix that is permanent

    Notification sound Altair sounds too laud to me... I use Stamina mode and thus all notifications come only when I take the phone to my hands and do something with it. No any distractions from the phone at any other time:)

    5 Reasons To Buy The Z2.

    re: After software update and four full charge-discharge cycles, the battery life is even better as it seems: The same use as before (my previous post on May, 19, 2014) plus using BT connection to a built-in to the car audio system.

    anyone got the smart band yet?

    Sleeping time is not very accurately measured. It measures a duration of sleep only during the night mode, and I found that it is sometimes the same as a duration of a night mode. Thus I decided to remove a scheduled night mode, but use the Smart Band to enable/disable it instead.

    Sony Xperia Z2 vs Samsung Galaxy S5

    There are few moments to consider, let me start from the least important: 1. Prestige. There are cars (VW, Opel, even Lada), and premium class cars (Audi, Volvo, MB, BMW). Most of the people buy cars, but some value premium brands. A number of first ones is much greater than a number of second...

    Sony Z2 Forum is pretty quiet...

    quiet... In case of Z2-relevant problems, people would have came here, and the forum would have seethed! To me such low activity is an indicator that everything is fine with the subject, people do not experience problems and not having difficulties:)

    5 Reasons To Buy The Z2.

    re: Hi All Here's mine, few minutes before a shutdown: All energy savings are ON (Restricted performance is OFF). I like those modes though. They are not annoying, like those I tried earlier with a variety of phones and applications. In case of Z2, when you need to use your phone, all...

    Thank you! The phone is really great. It is the best smartphone ever made by human IMHO. Call quality is great, much better than Samsung S4 has. I enabled Microphone noise suppression and Speaker voice enhancement options though - just in case. But the voice you hear is very loud, you will...

    Best Casing for the Z2

    What is a total thickness of your case with the phone inside? The concern I have is about opened corners. I am very good at allowing my phones to fall down and get scratches to corners :) That is how I discovered that S4 has a plastic but not metal frame around the body :D This is why I...

    Cases compatible with the DK36 charging dock

    The disadvantage of that case is that both, the top and the bottom, front edges are not protected.
