I've had the S2 and the S4 and wasn't that thrilled with them. I've had a Sony Z also. I most recently had the Sony Z1s and liked it, but the Note seems a little more refined: for one, the Sony does not turn off the charging LED when you use the phone while its plugged in, very annoying in the...

I really like the message ease keyboard. Its weird, but I find it much easier than swipe. Hard to explain, because it certainly has a learning curve! Posted via Android Central App

Mine didn't work, I just got10, and tech support was no help. Posted via Android Central App

Thanks! And simple it was! Posted via Android Central App

I must be missing something really simple... It took me a week to figure out the simple way to MAKE a voice recording: you press the recently open apps soft button and a mini app drawer opens and there is a handful of small apps that you can open, including a voice recorder. For the life of...

Does anyone else have the led light turn half red and half green when the phone is charging? I would think it should turn completely red. Posted via Android Central App

Re: Front-Facing Camera Issues Are you using auto mode? I'm getting as good as usual. I used to have an S4. Posted via Android Central App

Re: screen scratches I put a screen protector on my phone. Otherwise, it did not dook like there was anything else on the screen. You guys aren't talking about the removeable shipping protector that should be peeled off in the store are you? Posted via Android Central App

Re: Cases for the Z1S I'm happy with the Tech21 Tactical case I got from TMobile. Good protection and good feel. Phone is still compact. Its hard to find any accessories for this phone outside of the overpriced stuff in the store. I feel much better having something though. The other...

I broke down and got the Tech21 Tactical from tmo. Nice case, good feel, does not support magnetic charging dock. I also contacted Trident and they have no plans to produce a case for this phone. :( Posted via Android Central App

I really like this phone. I've owned the Xperia Z and a Samsung Galaxy S4 and S2. Even after I upgraded to the S4 from the Z I wanted a Sony phone. My wife got my old Z and she loves it. Thanks again for our own forum for this amazing device. Walter

I always wonder why reviewers have a problem with the viewing angle of the Z1s and its predecessors. I never look at my phone unless I'm spot on centered over it so I never notice. If my Samsung Galaxy S4 had a better viewing angle, it was lost on me, because once again, I only view the phone...

Just want to report, got my phone, submitted the paperwork, got my code, and redeemed it on my Vita. Added a year to my subscription automatically. Posted via Android Central App

I just switched over from a Galaxy S4 and I think the Z1s battery is about 10% better than the S4. Its 10:30pm at my battery is at 28%. And this is with "new phone" usage - trying out things and looking unlocking the screen a lot. I think it will get me through a day just fine after I break it...

Just installed Poweramp, much nicer sound reproduction. Posted via Android Central App
