MUltiple issue with Xepria ZR

Hi ALL ,

  i need a solution as i have no convincing response from any one from sony whom i have interacted with be it call center support or service center or email support , email support is pathetic no response i have send email 3 days back with no response  where does the customer go .

MY email to sony earlier.

Hi Team,

        8 days back when i received my new Xperia ZR phone i was a proud Owner of the phone but my opinion about the phone is not the same as i have been having multiple issue with the phone software wise design wise and assistance or support from sony to respond to my queries.

Issue Software

1) Phone is lagging intermittently

2) Panorama Shot in camera does not work as its suppose to

3) when we uninstall McAfee Antivirus phone starts to behave weird it becomes sluggish and slow

4) Stamina mode stops working at time it gives false calibration and time that battery will last .

5)Unable to use the file transfer option in the phone to transfer media files from internal memory to SD card

that option under storage is grayed out

6) Unable to Install Apps on my SD card from internal memory.

Hardware issue

1) Sony website and white paper documents say that this phone is scratch resistance but for a new phone for 8 days usage has many hair line scratches which should not be a case  when any X company claims that that's there phone is scratch resistance it should be a scratch resistance . There are examples of many companies which claims that and there phone is  scratch resistance and the mean it  not like my phone which is scratch resistance and i still have scratches how do i trust the brand i would have used a third party screen guard if company wouldn't have mention about scratch resistance.

2) Battery drains out  very quickly even after stamina mode is activated it last just little over half a day i have tested  the phone with various usage with full usage with internet  on Wifi it last for half day. with only Edge connection it last for little over half day . without internet usage just calling SMS the phone battery last for 1 day that to calling hours would 2 hours maximum.

3 phone get heated where NFC is situated i want to know the temperature which company calls it to be normal  as i am aware that its common for smart phone with quad core to be warm so wanted a  clarification about temperatures from technical person .

4) Mic does not work intermittently when on call the phone goes to sleep mode it becomes black and that when the MIC does not work .

Steps take by me to fix the issue .

1) done a software reset twice for software lag.

2) i have tested the phone with stock apps that came with sony phone and still lags

3) i have even installed all trusted app from Google play only and still it lags .

4) the phone does not have in build task manager or memory optimizer to kill background apps that will add to battery time.

5) Battery calibration done still no luck with battery

6) I have reduce the brightness of display to 4%  and unchecked bravia 2 engine option as well to get a better battery still i have same issue with battery draining out .

5) i have not installed any apps i just have says about 4 apps installed apart from stock apps send with the phone

6) i want to install games and lot pf app but scared but it will over load my internal memory and my phone performance will dip .

7) phone has limitation to transfer my apps from  internal memory to external  SD card  i wanted a clarification on this one

i have read mixed review saying that we can change the location of the memory card from internal to external SD card

by going in to USb debug mode and write a command using ADB tool to set the memory location as external but didnot try that because thought it will void the warranty Is it Android jelly bean limitation if yes what will customer do with 8 GB internal memory even though he has SD card .

i have paid almost 1000 Rs  to get a class 10  ultra speed strontium card but its turns out to be useless because i cannot transfer my apps from internal to external neither i can install more apps i am stuck with piece of lemon i paid 29k for a phone which does not perform the way it needs to i have quad core process i cant make max utilization of it with more apps .

I have 2 GB RAM for multitasking but i cant me the Fullest usage as i have limitation to apps installed on my internal memory card

I love the phone for it design form factors it feels when great externally but when see inside i have so many issue with it

which makes me annoyed for this i could have got a  better phone in this price .

I have logged a ticket with Sony support and ticket# is 13072501176 and i had also been to Sony authorize service center is Bangalore that is in Indiranagar  CMH road  name of service center is SONNETT as per them they don't have latest software update for this phone they will once again reset the phone and reload the same firmware and Android OS which i am sure will not fix the bug and they said that will give me phone -phone replacement or i need to contact the place where i bought the unit to get  a new replacement box piece but  am Afraid the new unit that i will receive will also have a same issue unless Sony does something to fix this bugs with new  Android version 4.3 update and hardware firmware patch

So i  need a solution on this i want a response from sony design and highest technical team whether all this problem of mine will be address with just a firmware update os OS upgrade then i am more than happy to wait for update but if no then i need a replacement from sony with better model may xperia Z or latest phone which does not have so many flaws like this i am really disappointed with sony email support i send 4 mails i gets response to 1 with repeated and same Troubleshooting steps that i have performed no 1 at sony seem to have proper answer even then phone support team they ignorant they are not aware what sony  is up to whats happening with sony at the background with software i felt disgusting when i am talking to bunch of ignorant  when i was at sony service center they have least info about my issue and product and its updates it seem like we both were on different platform i am saying something all he was saying was leave the phone will update the software but for the fact that there is no update for software from sony.

i feel so horrible for picking this phone i started using sony products when i was 16 i had my 1st sony phone sony Ericsson K10 which was the best phone of my time after which i picked up couple sony phone but they were not upto to the mark it quality had started dipping thats when i had lost the faith in this brand and thats when sony was out of smart phone market unless they came up with some good product like xperia S with the phone ZR  i was so happy to be back to sony but my disappointment continues.

please provide me solution and i need it asap as i still have option open from my seller for complete refund  my seller where i got this product has 15 days refund . SONY Please provide me solution for this problem please help me .

and for god sake don't come up with some stupid answers i want a reply from design person and technical person who could explain the faults and failure .

i want a  latest phone phone which i good without so many issue .

such a long post

1) elaborate on this, usually if you have a taskiller, antivirus, battery app, booster apps or poor coded apps it will slow down your phone, its wise to empty your call logs and messaging app every now and then

2) elaborate on this, it works on my Xperia Z

3) you do not need an antivirus

4) you have to read this

http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/127317

5) can you elaborate on this?

6) you can not do that, you can read about it here

http://talk.sonymobile.com/message/406527#406527

you could if you root your phone and install apps2sd

1) the glass is scratch resistant NOT the AntiShatter film (ASF), you are supposed to apply a scratch resistant film on top of the ASF

2) you will have to post screenshots, if you have stamina on and you excluded apps that sync constantly it will defeat the purpose of Stamina mode. if you leave your wifi on it will drain your battery quite fast, again this is normal, there are some apps that will try to upload/download data.

3) that's normal with any phone/tablet, the more you use it the hotter it will  get.

4) elaborate

do NOT install any

taskiller

task manager

antivirus

ram apps

booster apps

battery apps, it will drain your battery faster, slow down your phone among other issues, keep in mind that if you kill a background app it will restart soon after, and this will drain a lot more battery than letting run in the background, if you don't use an app, just uninstall it.

Is this your first smartphone? if you had other smartphones what were those phones?

Hi

Firstly this is not my 1st smart phone i am a blackberry user then i switch to android i had Samsung S3 and Iphone 4 ,Here i am talking about a 4 days old phone and i have not installed any such apps that you have listed i have mention in my mail that i have stock apps that came preloaded with phone and i am not sure if your aware that xperia ZR has default Antivirus & Security program that is McAfee preinstalled which is just a trial version when uninstalled behaves like crazy it freezez the mobile slows down the process and there is a lag observered .

   what about stamina mode stops working at times  what do i do for it  if you says that taskmanager or task killer apps drain your battery then why do samsung has task killer and Ram optimizer apps installed in them by default  kindly explain how does the task manager eat ups the battery on the phone  i have the option enable to connectd to saved wifi on stamina mode thats should also saved my battery  plus  i am not connected to wifi all the time as you mention i connect for about 30 mins max

ASF : Anti shatter film : Could please explain me what does company mean when they say scrtach resistance??? .. what does it resist ????? I have hair line scrtaches on my display plenty  on the fourth day of my usage. i am not refering to deep scratch i am refreing to hair line scratches . when company like apple says its Scratch resistance it means it .

I dont get an option to transfer files from my internal memory to SD card

let be clear iam refering to Media files like pictures and music not apps.

My samsung S3 phone is also running on Android 4.1.2 OS with all the killer apps, task manager apps etc with all this i still easily get a battery life for 1 complete days easily and with limited usage i get a battery life for 1 .5 day easily

most likely the scratches are on the film, there's a film on top of a scratch resistant digitizer/touchscreen/glass, the ASF it is NOT scratch resistant.

go to settings > storage > scroll to the bottom > you will see Transfer data to SD card

also you can move the music manually with either a computer or File manager, as for pictures/videos the best option is

camera > settings > storage > select SD card.

that's up to Samsung as to why they had incorporated a task killer, android doesn't require a taskiller, keep in mind to press BACK instead of home when you exit an app, also Android will free up RAM as it need it, taskillers create a LOT of issues with Android, its up to you to use them or not.

I am aware that Sony started adding Mcafee, why? I have no idea, perhaps a contract just like other non stock android apps, stay away from those apps.
