Originally, I started with the Galaxy S3 in the mobile smartphone market.
It did not take long and the first question mark fold above my head out. By the end of his term, which then came the Z1, these question marks were becoming more and especially getting bigger. Hence the idea, which will be available after something else in its place matured. With Sony I had hitherto good experience, 1 camera, 3 laptops TV and so on ... but here I was disappointed.
Compared to Samsung (and the successors), is in part quite blessed with not just user-friendly operation Because the Z1 (to my mind).
This is a shame, because actually the thing is basically not wrong. It is quite well built and also fast.
It is sometimes just not "hip" in the sense that it has some design gimmicks, it's not even for petite hands ... it's just something big, square, also still waterproof, acts as a unified whole and keep the glass surfaces genuinely more than you think. Of any Ultar-sensitive mineral glass I see nothing, probably because I treat it accordingly.
That was the thing I like about the extent.
Let's come to the contrary ... :(
I always describe the comparisons compared to the S3, which is still here and always with whom I can speak "cross test".
Certain branded Samsung operator routines can not get you out of me (because that simply are good) -daher there are many corners of the reasons that made me always and every day disturb you could say that I will not warm it.
Ok, with the non-removable battery, I have made friends (systemic), but not with other things.
This starts with it, often crashed in the few months that it is now with me, than the Samsung in nearly two years. Furthermore, very often topple the Apps from (contrary to the reviews here the Cam runs but fine).
The Sony Album App is not really well structured and therefore a bit messed-one sees there simply everything you somehow on the phone. Of course, I do not sort by folders known, but it remains in comparison to still messed up. Fortunately, there is for the App Quick Pic, because does exactly what it should.
Although you can not scroll through the different pages consecutively on the Start screen is habituation thing bothers but anyway (if you know it otherwise).
Some settings are seemingly totally for naught, at least can not understand why and how he "that" makes now.
Example network search-if he has no power, he constantly annoys with "managed roaming, start network search etc blah ..." (I honestly do not know if you can perhaps leave) and if there is then re-mains, goes without Pushing away the first of this notice nothing. The network selection itself does not want what is set. Of course, he may at any setting always fall back into the EDGE level or even on "no Internet", but he should then have at some point again by itself on 3G / H + switch-but no, I do rather then always even because I almost only in EDGE would go otherwise, although manually 3G was chosen ...
What I use a manual setting of the voltage selector, with which one specifies what to take, if you then but it must always make and keep telling yourself, because he would hang around forever and three days in the slow setting?
When S3 gave there was no non-3G / H + has been switched to EDGE, 3G / H + again was available, had it again. I did not have to constantly select the "3G service provider" new !?
Other small operating details, some may not interfere with, for example, is also adjusting the alarm volume-there you have that is just a beam of soft to loud ... but listen while moving its not what you set there. You hear only when it is ringing then. Instead, you always have to check the same tune.
Now the sounds but differ in the sounds / pitches and since I have no desire to be awakened with loud fiddling, a proper setting is there really awkward.
Speaking at bar ...
The answer (or alarm shutdown) means the bar is real "prima" -wischt not exactly the thing around, it will not do.
Since the last update of any system services, the exchange of data via Bluetooth to work with the computer no longer (and that's a Sony;)) and any links about making since problems!
I sit in the car and need the Bluetooth, then he would be in the car with the computer (and not by car) connect and looks for this !?
I sit at the computer and I need the connection there, is the same times nix ...
If the background image, it is Sony so that the side with shifts when durchscrollt the pages on your home screen. As far as no problem.
Only the image should then also be on the home page again as established ... it is very often terrible!
Instead, you have to fix the shift by the to scroll the home in the opposite direction until the end.
The result, the "stop" again and just moved the home screen adapts again-at least until there is again something swallowed when durchscrollt just the "other side", because then you go again from the beginning.
If the incomprehensible was to:
As befits for real men * laughs *, I have a photo of my girlfriend on the home screen. In addition, I have shortcuts to different apps. The image is aligned so that I see the face completely still.
I now scroll through the pages (right or left), shifts the home and I just still see half his face. This I have noticed in the first place, with the Sony own falls not on.
I now take the other side of the home page and scroll there to the end, the orientation of the home is right again.
The strange thing is-it is not always.
I've been using the Canon EOS-app for the camera at home.
On the Samsung no problem running, virtually in real time, press shutter image is made, fine.
But on the Sony?
Hmm, shutter button is pressed (remote recording from the phone) and? Nothing! One looks around, pushes again and again ... hmm, nothing !?
But wait, now it makes so what ... but in the meantime, looked away again and yes also has pressed more times, because someone thought it does not work ... :(
Real time is different.
The mounting / locating or call it what you will, the microphone is also far from happy.
Through various Instant Messenger can now be indeed Audio send messages. Unfortunately, my opponent understands most everything in a very low or even equal to no and no, my micro and the earpiece are not dirty and added)
I do not know to what that is, but in the S3 is left purely whisper (also to call itself) and the other person has a well understood ...
What has, however, been excited me most, made me furious and ultimately brought the idea from another device rolling again, was:
Of course, I also plan WhatsApp.
On any given day, I wondered why because only numbers are at once instead of the names there !?
So I looked at first superficially to the directory and there were all contacts since, with number and usual.
But then when I looked more closely, I noticed that the numbers were all changed (why were the names no longer there, because the format is no longer fit to do so) and some where several numbers were stored for each contact, as missing now einfaach arbitrarily even a few numbers-are simply deleted completely (!!!).
As a sample, I have deleted a time even, re-registered and there it started already-although the link to the proposed name was correct, the number is then a completely different contact name displayed (no idea why). The only way was to circumvent, delete both contacts completely and enter a new one without any link suggestions to use (which there were strangely still) save.
The phonebooks run with me all over Google, so that you (theoretically) all have the same level and should have (why do you do that yes). Well, actually ...
I looked then at Google for the same, which was ok ... I took my old Samsung (also kept up to date) and looked as (phonebook and WhatsApp) after-everything in butter ...
Only on the Z1's all Quark and messed up.
That was a great thing-you I was mad!
So I'm going to have to go back to the search, but I have absolutely no idea where we are headed.
Sony is out, HTC M8 also (not expandable memory and battery can not be replaced), Samsung (to a fairly large extent) also remain ... so not much ... and no, any China-things coming out of the question (have enough colleagues with experience to do so;))
Should I, after the "get used" to the built-in battery, also used to the non-expandable memory (somewhat unlikely), it would for the Android-rail, are a Google device equal to the top of the list ...
* Addendum to the matter of the phone book *
I'm still really annoyed, because what was in my phone book!
I sat now almost two days because everything to maintain in orderly Konakte again.
As I have noticed that?
I looked so in the overview of the telephone book contacts and saw that at once 3x as many contacts (numerically) were in there ?!
What happened?
Not only that, it suddenly gave no fading in the Sony time, no, all Verknpüfungen in the contacts were gone !!!
This means that if I had linked a contact in three Messenger services, then there was this contact 3x now ....
It was really tedious, all together again, and especially so that the correct name is displayed and not the one in the Messenger (eg Skype) is (are there because so often used only fancy names)
Honestly, I'm glad that it's gone again ....
