[Q] A little Question regarding the Xperia Z - General Questions and Answers

Hi, I wanted to buy the Xperia ZL because of the camera button, but since it won't come out in Germany I'll have to buy the Xperia Z which doesn't has one. Now my question is: Does the Xperia Z have a camera icon on the lockscreen even if I have a PIN-code as unlock method ? I was wondering because on the Xperia S or on the Nexus 4, the camera Icons and so on, don't get displayed when I have a PIN-code as unlock method.

I'm not too sure about the xperia z but all Sony devices (with or without camera buttons) allow access to the camera without unlocking the phone. It should be the same for the xperia z
click thanks if helped

New album app rolled out (5.2.A.1.2.0)

Sony has released a new build of its Album app which appears to bring performance improvements. New version 5.2.A.1.20 replaces the older 5.2.A.0.6 build, which brought a number of new features including more PlayMemories Online functions and All Sync (automatic and unlimited photo syncing). The update is live for the Xperia Z series including the Xperia Z1, Z, Z Ultra, ZL and ZR. I'm not sure when it'll be available for other phones

Official Sony Background Defocus app

Looks interesting, not compatible with my device from the google play store. Even though it's an Xperia L and 4.2.2 ?

Here is another thread about it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2728482
It doesn't install on our stock firmware, because we didn't get it with Sony's Smart Social Camera. Maybe this will work when you flash that to your phone first.

Bizzare Sony quoted this for the Xperia L
The camera experts’ camera phone
If camera engineers made a smartphone, what smartphone would they make? The answer is Xperia L, the Android mobile designed with Sony’s leading camera expertise.

Yet we don't get this app or an update to 4.3. Just the social camera would be fine.

Sony should update the info for Xperia M
"If camera engineers made a smartphone, what smartphone would they make? The answer is not the Xperia M, the Android mobile designed without Sony’s leading camera expertise."
Sony say, Let's update it to 4.3 and give it a social camera!
Whereas the actual Xperia with a camera designed by Sony’s leading camera expertise gets 4.2 and no social camera. Honestly the focus and lag is rubbish. My iPhone 4 is better and that's years older.
Thanks Sony!
The focus is much better in Xperia L but Sony camera software is really bad. GO TO Facebook page of xperia l, a person merged libraries of xperia m in L and he have got amazing results

Have you used an iPhone 4? Basically it focuses and when you press the shutter, the photo is taken, no blur.
The Xperia L, focuses, looks great, you press the shutter and the phone refocuses, so really great if you take photos of something that is stationary (building, landscape) but useless for anything which moves slightly.
I have a 17 month old boy and it's nearly impossible to take photos blur free, with the iPhone, nearly every photo is perfect. I will post one from each so you can compare. I got the xperia L to replace the iPhone 4. Unless Sony do something with the software, it's going on eBay.

The focus of the XL is a problem. Touch to focus works, but press the shutter and it refocuses. It takes me several tries to get the actual focus I want. This is more apparent when trying to shoot on macro or close moving objects.
I really don't know what's wrong with Sony's software team.
Honestly it's useless as it is.
The annoying this is, Exmor-R, Exmor-RS sensors are in iPhone, Samsung phones and they take amazing photos but the actually Sony phones suck. Definitely a software issue as using the google camera app the camera focuses and take a photo (rather than refocusing).
Well said my brother

It won't install on our XL. Its an addon for sony smart camera and will be available for those mobiles which got the smart camera app. Thank you sony for leaving us and fooling us. I think this might be my last sony smartphone. You are worst at customer support. Even XM has got 4.3 and smart camera app but we with 8mp camera are left alone and no sign of update.
Really annoying sony.

[Completed] Getting xperia touch sound.

I would like to swap out my nexus default screen touch sound with the glassy sounding one found, I believe, on the new xperia phones. I don't think a sound that short can be copyrighted so it should be fine to share. I just don't know which forum to ask on.
Many thanks.

Post the Request for it in Xperia Z1 General or Xperia Z General depending on which device you like to get the sound from.

Sony Photo Pro App port?

Does anyone have a Port of the Photo Pro app for the Xperia 5? I just realized the Xperia 1 ii was the first one to have it and that having it on the Xperia 5 would be great!
