Sony Xperia ZR - User Reviews

  • Could you please tell me how to update my Sony Xperia zr c5502 into 4g

  • any suggest to make 4G... im from pahang

  • Mine docomo set, buy with affordable price, MYR150. Everything working fine, got 4g line in my area n9. Maybe your phone got different 4g bandwidth, or using other country rom, or got region lock.

  • hey u just need the newest firmware and then flash it manually using flashtool , so many tutor on google u can try it

  • recently i forgot my password in my zr. and i send it in to shop to bypass it, and fair enough he did that but install a previous version software andriod jellybean 4.3. and now i can't upgrade it back to android 5. even using pc companion it say already have the latest version.

  • Actually this was an good phone, 5 years i've been using this phone, and it can run so many apps and high graphics game smoothly without lagging, but when this phone is heating, this phone become a bit laggy, overall this was an nice phone for the price

  • cheap for MYR 160.. wise spec.. use as backup phone.. mine 2gb ram and 32gb rom docomo set.. just it not 4G just H+ im malaysia.. why indonesia get 4G line?? allready set but just H+ line detect.. any suggest?

  • How to upgrade Android on sony experia zr docomo

  • Magnetic charge

  • Just root your xperia for move apps to microSD, change bootanimation, and change font.

  • What is the yellow hole function ?

  • Can i ask. Did app can move to external memory (sd card)? Anybody know?

  • Hello! Is there any way to block a phone number from both calling and texting you? There is an option to send a number to voicemail but I was wondering if that completely blocks the number. Thank you!!

  • I cannot open contacts while talking phone

  • Mine same 32gb big storage plus with my sd card 32 total 64gb Enough already Move phone anyway

  • Flashed the custom ROM LineageOS on this phone in order to get regular security updates. It performs well on this phone--super fast. I like that there are four maintainers of the OS for this particular phone, meaning that Lineage support for this phone is unlikely to disappear any time soon. I love it! I like that the battery is user-serviceable and I feel like I got a good deal for a high quality phone and I like that it comes in pink color to express my girly nature.

  • you need to repair your phone by using Sony pc companion. but your all data will be wiped.

  • Hi Everyone, im using XPERIA ZR from 2014 Its a great phone from sony no hanging problems awesome display Touch is like butter and i love the phone....! But After upgrading to 5.1.1 lollipop battery is draining quickly, Kitkat is awesome so don't go to lollipop if u need more battery backup!

  • It's a great phone, ihave it about 2.5 years and it works fine

  • I have xperia zr 5.1.1 android. I have forgotten its unlock pattern. can anyone tell what to do?

  • Xperia zr, I use this phone for a bout 4 years and it is still work, I am happy with this phone, now I have a new one "xperia XZ" very nice one.

  • How do I save my sms in SD card?

  • How did you upgrade to lolipop

  • Just bought Japanese Docomo version of ZR, shipped with 8GB by seller (or Japan) and now flash it to generic (JB, KitKat or Lolipop = Both have tried) and got 32GB use Flashtool after restoring into original Docomo First (dont forget to uncheck Partition, during flashing into J/K/L)..... UMTS/HSPA+ quite fast, some 4G Operator use different band of Japanese Frequency.. I can accept that. As long I have great small (size) phone with reasonable price. I was used Z1 and Z2 Compact 2 years ago..

  • zr docomo 32gb 5.1.1 lolli 3g band (wcdma) not working only 2g (gsm) work pc companion cant resolve my problem does anyone have same problem?

  • I use this phone since November 2016 (docomo version). It's pretty great one. Unfortunately I can get any 4g service. And it's bootloader can't be unlocked.

  • How can be it 32 gb

  • Mine? It is 32 GB. And yes, it's working.

  • its work or not ? your memory phone now 8gb or 32 ?

  • I buy a used xperia zr, and get 8gb internal memory, I follow tutorial from xda, using a flashtool to flash my xzr using original firmwire xzr/xperia A SO-04 to get back real xzr internal 32gb, then flash again use latest xzr firmwire, to get 32gb internal n lolipop...

  • Hello how are you i also use this model ZR and am also glad I have it from 2013 have no problems with it just that several times I stuck and had to restart. To ask is there any possibility to remove the camera 13 MP and 20 MP put by Z3 Compact / Z3?

  • Currently using Android 5.1.1 on xperia zr, but there is some problem with speaker and earphone. As not able to hear sometimes on call and even some times speaker does not work while music player is on... But finally i got application called "sound magic" from appstore and by this my phone is again working fine... So if anyone is facing any problem with earphone or speaker than try soundmagic app before going to repair shop... Kp(using xperia zr from last more than 2 years, good phone, only major issue is heating)

  • i bought this phone early desember 2016 and upgrade to lolipop, what amazing, i'am impressed!!!!!

  • Docomo's version is called "Xperia A Docomo SO-04e". Built exclusively for Japan. No major differencies. Docomo's logo is on top front, Sony's logo is on lower front; available special edition Hatsune Miku (pretty beatiful). As far as I know, that's all.

  • No problem atall... Using this phone around 3 years.... Best phone.. Best look... Best size...light weight.... Atleast far better than the hang Samsung phone

  • kitkat

  • Which software is better for battery back up.. (kitkat or lollipop).?

  • Thanks for your information. i will try to update it manually

  • Me I am using Sony Xperia Zr from 2 years it's good mobile and there is no problem with the device but one drawback that is about the TFT Screen that's the main reason except that remaining good and me I got lollipop update also.

  • this phone drain battery so fast.

  • garbage??? take care of ur fon

  • Update your phone manually via flashtool, I'm Indonesian and my ZR also didn't get any lollipop update on the air but i flashed it via flashtool. Try google for tutorial.

  • This is not a phone. It's a garbage. After few week usage WiFi stopped working completely. Later on I figured that it's not connecting to 2,4 GHz wireless networks, but only connects to 5GHz networks. Bluetooth is not working either, phone can't find any device nor other devices can find it. Luckily, I still got warranty, so hopefully they will replace this crap for a new working phone. Shame on Sony for releasing a phone that has hardware related problems, because software repair did not fixed anything.

  • I just realized that this is where the Alleged Xperia XR is based from:

  • It's 2016 already and still no update for lolipop in indonesia for sony ZR. Bad customer service also

  • Worst phone don't take it. They are not providing services to z series mobiles

  • My wife using sony zr since 2.5 years not even faced any single problems like hanging n battery backup Light weight n best in touch

  • version docomo

  • I used Sony xperia Zr for 2 years ,it was working fine ,however after that the phone had a complaint that it cannot be switched on but battery gets charged . when contacted the Sony authorized service they said the phone had mother board related problems and it is not repairable and no spare available

  • Xperia Zr ear speaker is not working properly ..... sometimes it is getting mute and becoming normal by it self ... any solutions for it...?

  • Thanks a lot...with those quite 'shaky-moods' opinions on Experia ZR's performances..so to speak statistically..I'd rather put off my plan on having one..too bad for my previous brand-image

  • I have one, 32gb of internal memory

  • Sorry... xperia zr is not on Sony's marshmallow plan

  • Lollipop is power hungry...how ever lollipop is cool...i already forgotten the feature cuz my x zr die 1 year ago...

  • Guys, is the lollipop for zr a worthy upgrade? How is its performance in lollipop compared to KitKat?

  • In our country (Madagascar) there is a xperia zr variant that has 32GB of internal memory sold at a low price

  • Exactly the same here. It will be a very good phone if it wasn't for that ridiculously bad front camera and the 8 gb of memory.

  • If you are planning to buy this phone i suggest wait for sony experia x...

  • What Do You Mean Oooo :v larang cuwk

  • Same here. i faced the same problem. I loved it when it worked for a year. probably they know that the problems start pouring in after a year. i loved the brand so much but now i feel they are bluffing customers.

  • After one and half years this phone is useless. The water proofing in charging and 3.5 jack port becomes useless and cannot be repaired as this phone cannot be repaired and only be replaced. The minimum cost for replacement is Rs 10k (as told by service center). As compared to other phones the loudness of call or speaker is very bad.

  • Now your phone is working properly

  • I have zr and 2 unit of zr never last for 1 year i have sola but dang still keking...

  • I have gone to mobile repairing center he said ur cell has got audio ic problem.

  • I also upgraded to z3 compact in 2014 cos the storage capacity wasn't very big, and the battery didn't seem to last too long. However, now I'm using my old phone again cos I accidentally dropped my beloved z3 compact and its touch screen stopped functioning. Well, with moderate use the battery life of zr isn't too bad. It still works beautifully and will be handed down to my hubby after my second z3 compact arrives;-)

  • I guess people's experiences with the Z's vary a lot. I've had my ZR since September 2013, I've sat on it, dropped it on the floor lots of times, I inadvertently left it next to a heater oven so that it got boiling hot and it still chugs on, there are only minor scratches on the display that you can only see at certain angles if you look closely. I've been meaning to get a new phone tho, mostly because of the measly 8GB internal storage. But other than that, it has served me well for over 2.5 years.

  • I don't agree, I have been using ZR for 2.5 yrs now and my wife using Z for same tenure, no issues faced for hardware/software ever. As far as service centre support is concerned can't comment as never needed to visit one. I have now upgraded to Z3C due to internal storage of ZR.

  • strongly agree sony's Z series display is damn fragile and easily breaks (to name a few Xperia ZR, Xperia Z that I've personally seen) and then comes a bigger frustration when you are told by Sony "sorry, there's no support" even if you would like to get it repaired at your own cost. DAMN :( you pay 20K for this phone (ZR) and then there's no support at all after a year, just nothing; looks like the customer support executives are trained like that by Sony - WTF

  • Sony models ZL,ZR & Z ultra all r unrepairable models and have to b literally thrown away if any problem crops up after expiry of their 1 year warranty period.This fact is not mentioned in the brochure/terms & conditions of warranty.Really,it is difficult to understand how a renowned company like Sony could do this to its unwary customers.I am a victim of this & could not even get any explanation from them for adopting such a policy !

  • My phone also gets slow.

  • Now a days I am facing problem with my device (xperia zr). My phone automatically switched off and when I try to switch on it starts optimsing my application in which it becomes hot and due to which it again switch offs. Apart from this sometimes it doesn't charge even with its original charger. Please tell what to do.

  • very bad device to use bcause xperia zr is not repairable...............................this is so bad

  • very bad thing in xperia phones, no repair available. I suggest Sony to please improve their services towards android phone. your customers are suffering a lot because of poor services

  • Sony xperia zr is a great mobile, its camera is very good, I upraded to my sony to 5.1 lollipop and its performance is great and its video quality is great to view at any angle, this phone is water proof and dust proof. I will say that this phone has great choice to buy.

  • noo :/ becouse cm13 worked

  • is this phn is waterproof or not only water resitant..

  • Nope, neither will Z1C

  • will android 6 marshmallow come for xperia zr..?

  • It really depends on the phone that you would like to install it. I highly recommend you to visit the CM website or XDA Developer, you will find further assistance there and also with phone that you would like to install it with the correct CM compatible with the model and also the correct Gapps.

  • Same here, used for 2.5 yrs without any issues, now upgraded to Z3 compact

  • How you flash CM12 rom can you suggest me?

  • I am using this phone since more than 2 years, a well balanced phone and SONY was kind enough to update this amazing device up to 5.1.1. Thanks SONY, only problem is internal memory is just 8GB and you will soon run out of internal storage.

  • I used this phone for more than a year.. never had any problems... all updates ran smoothly (this is a rare thing for a Sony phone since each of their updates have some annoying bugs). but one day it started restarting suddenly, and after few reboots, screen went black, wouldnt charge, wouldnt turn on. Sony repair center was asking 100 SAR just to check what the problem is and give a quotation!! i took it to mobile market, none of them could fix it, turns out the motherboard got fried!! this is very bad from Sony!! never going to buy another sony again!

  • In which software is better lollipop or kitkat? Lollipop has any battery problem?

  • for how many days? got mine broken too

  • Yesterday I got it replaced for Rs 2500. It comes in bundle (touch pad+display)

  • am using my xperia zr last one year, many times it falls down from my hand now its digitizer got broken. now i can see display but touch is not working i cant even unlock the screen now. how can i fix it?? how much it will cost if i given it in service center

  • what is this??

  • Using this phone feob sept 2013 still running great..and now using the cyanogenmod 12.its awesome

  • If your camera quality has gone down then see if there are any scratches on camera lens if there is then put some toothpaste and rub and dry wipe it off . the camera will be good as new.

  • Anyone got 10.7.A.0.228 update India?

  • No, not to be expected as well

  • The system takes upto 10 gb of memory on every phone.

  • marshmallow available for xperia zr? any hope

  • Wifiand Bluetooth is not working in my phone Plz hlp me

  • this phone is cool u know y? i bought it in August 21 2014 works fine until ear speaker not working that was dec 1st week 2014 so i go to sony service hr n Philippines replace it for a new one but without the sim tray because its under warranty i got the unit in January 1st week 2015 and this dec. 2nd week 2015 i got screen problem before it was bliking and in the 3rd week it turns to black all black so yeah the phone is cool super cool...lol i don know how much it will cost now that its not under warranty anymore but the phone is good as new no scratches in fact its kinda 1 week old brand new look...

  • Yeah this phone is great... Authentic dustproof and waterproof.. I used mine almost for 2 years with confidence.

  • Download app camera mx and see the big difference. You'll start loving your phone again. I did.

  • Dear Xperia Zr friends, My camera quality has gone very done and it looks as if it has only 2mp camera. Could someone suggest me how to fix it.

  • Use SD Card. Sony Data Transfer (from Internal to SD) automatic notification is great. When your internal storage is 75% full, you will get notification to transfer data to SD card. You can select what to transfer - pics, movies, docs, etc

  • My battery was draining very fast after updating to 5.1.1 lolipop. Yesterady I repaired the OS thru Sony PC Companion. Now it's great. More than 24 hours now since i recharged to 100% and still 30% battery is available.

  • are we going to have a stagefright update?....

  • Internal memory is not getting transfered to Sd card Anyone help in this issue

  • Thank you. Any links for a working mod to increase the internal memory? Anyone? Please!

  • Was suffering from the same issue then just repaired the software using sony PC companion it starts working now you can also use the same step. it may help you

  • wifi is not working on my phone please help me to solve this.

  • my phone is not getting connected to the wifi router. If someone can resolve this problem

  • The only problem is the ROM which can be solved by rooting the device And then partitioning sd card. And once rooted try out the dolby and beats for xperia series mod,it is way better than conventional sound system on sony.

  • Hello good ZR users. The only down side of this powerful and buttery smooth device is the 8GB of internal memory, once the OS is installed you get to use some 4.5GB only. That can get eaten rather sooner if you really use the device. Any app or mod to increase the internal memory? Using the microSD maybe? Any trick? Any rom? For 5.0.2 or 5.1.1 please. I hope somebody can help with this.

  • Top Class Fully featured Z Series best phone ever.. Using since 1 year no problem at all.. Below best features Nice camera with stunning picture quality Ultimate Hd gaming performance ( without Lag) Nice display viewing angels. 2gb ram smooth performance ( no hanging issues) Latest updates with smooth performance.. All over best phone ever.. Love my Xperia zr

  • using this phone from 2 yrs....awesome battery backup...everything is good

  • Same as Bryan said, I am also using since 2 years, 5.1.1 is the best, only issue is 8GB internal, but still best phone, falls on concrete ground every week, no scratches, no screen breaking nothing

  • Hi Daniel. I own this phone, and yes it is waterproof. It has 2 doors (over the headphone jack and charging port) with rubber on them to keep water from getting into the device. It is IP58 certified - dust proof and water resistant over 1.5 meter and 30 minutes, as listed above. If you are for some reason considering buying this phone, I have been very happy with it for the couple of years I have owned and used it. I would like to upgrade to a new phone, but one of the things that's holding me back is the fact that this phone has a replaceable battery. The back cover pops off and the battery is right there. They don't manufacture the batteries anymore, but you can find some on Ebay. One last note, ever since they pushed the Android 5.1.1 to this phone, I have loved it even more. I did a factory reset, installed the update and the phone is like brand new again. It's fast, takes EXCELLENT photos and I can now transfer apps to the SD card, which I could not do with Android 4.X. My ONLY complaint with this phone now, is the 8GB onboard storage. It's not enough for today's standards. Hope this helps!

  • is this phone water resistance are u sure please reply

  • but it's on the inside surface of the lens! not the outside..

  • Use some cottons with warm water, then wipe your lens with it. Sorry for my english

  • Lolipop

  • Sure Yogi

  • phone is good since i'm using it from 1.5yrs..but the only problem is its not showing silent mode its only vibrating...

  • It's not only Xperia ZR, I had such problem when installed 5.1 on my Nexus 5. It is on all devices on 5.1, I guess.

  • Tips in xperia. Used photos instead of albums to reduce noise. Do not update music to avoid lower call volume.

  • if your app

  • after updating 5.1 version any app lock application doesn't work in my xperia zr please help

  • Let me know if you get it fixed...!

  • Hey ! I also faced same issues. On August, i updated it to latest Android Lollipop OS. And after that i started facing following issues: 1. Calls : wasn't able to hear any voice, audio on earpiece, have to put on speaker or use headsets. 2. Audio : no audio was audible on speakers when i played any Mp3 or Video on cell. 3. Notifications : in Notifications and sound settings, if i want to preview any tone or music, like Alarm tune, or ringtone, i wasnt able to hear them, but Alarm played it when it was supposed to. i sent my cell for Servicing, since it was in Warranty period. I somehow feel that Audio codecs are corrupted in Latest OS updates. lt've been more than 30 days since its gone for servicing. Patiently waiting for its return properly.

  • i am on kitkat what should i do update or not

  • Here is the same story man... But for some occasions loudspeaker works perfectly, sometimes it goes mute... Even I'm finding the solution eagerly. .. Let me know if you find it...

  • I have updated my ZR to Lollipop 5.1.1, 2 weeks ago and it is definitely better than 5.0.2. But can't sure that whether it is better than kitkat 4.4.4. I have installed in proper way. Factory reset and all that. Still stamina mode and low battery mode is NOT effective as they were in Kitkat 4.4.4. I am still testing them. I am also confused that should I degrade to kitkat 4.4.4 or not. Plz share your experiences friends, regarding this.

  • I've Sony zr I'm completely satisfied with this mobile But mobile screen's shining finish I want new shining Because I love my mobile Plz give me solution of this matter

  • so i m posting a comment after a long time. now after running Lollipop for a month i m very satisfied with speed and performance and the much needed app to SD. i m now rooted on lollipop with locked bootloader and have dual recoveries installed and as well I have the lovely xposed! so guys who haven't updated to lollipop u must update. to the people who are facing battery drain, do a backup of ur phone with backup and restore app inbuilt and connect ur phone to PC companion and reinstall the Lollipop update, u will loose all the data but u will gain battery performance and since u have taken backup u can restore it!! all the risks are urs, i m just submitting my review, any damage or data loss is urs not mine so do any step with ur own thoughts!! thank you!!

  • After lollipop update battery draining is so fast .. and take more time to charge full. after 6 hour it gives only 40% chared

  • People complaining about the sd card error that it doesn't get accessed when we connect it to comp so let me tell you that it's not a bug neither a fault, it happens with all mobile that provide sd card, it simply that when you connect your phone with your computer it uses sd card and phone provides accessing it only with one device so don't expect to use sd card on both it would be like dividing a body in two parts so it can perform sae thing at two places, now when you move apps to sd card thier some part is moved to sd card and so when sd card isn't accessible by phone ofcourse those apps also won't be accessible, but after sd card is disconnected from computer it will function normally so guys leave stress its very normal

  • It is an issue with Lollipop with regard to your SD card issue when you connect the USB drive your SD card although seen simply put your phone forget where to look for the apps on your SD card - You could try dismounting the SD card and re-mount it

  • Even I am facing that issue

  • You are right... i don't like that

  • Has anyone tried using a 128gb memory card on your zr yet? If yes, which brand. TIA

  • Yup... Whenever you connect it to your computer or otg the SD card gets disconnected. No SD card, no apps saved on it

  • After updating for 5.0, Whenever I connect OTG pendrive all the apps which were moved in my SD card are unable to open. Is same problem faced by others also.

  • What about the battery backup after lollipop update....???

  • pls who have had problem with his or her Sony Xperia zr headphone jack? How did u fix it? did it work? pls I need answers urgently

  • ZR is better of course. I have used mine for nearly two years and it's still in great working condition. Just update it on time, boost it regularly if you have large memory consuming apps and it will serve you long time.

  • the only better i see on sg s5 mini is better front cam and 16 gb internal memory the rest zr but its up to you my friend if what is your taste when it comes to phone... and another thing brah look for the phone that has lot of internal memory and lot of ram because you have more chance of getting update and have sd card slot because it is very important cuz internal mem do runs out...and cpu look for higher cpu for zero chance of lag thats all brah hope you find what your lookin for... love gaaron...:-D

  • Hi! the android lollipop(5.0.2) is a good update, but initially after the update I had a problem with the phones wifi as it was not turning on. But after a quick factory reset the phone was as good as new. The battery does drain a bit quicker then before, but the device does perform better. Pros: faster working smooth operation good material design apps can be moved to sd card cons: it takes a lot of time to charge (it took me 6 hrs of continuous uninterrupted charging from 0 to 100%)

  • here in Philippines brah...

  • where

  • Hahaha at last update Lp version is here...

  • Try using PC companion

  • For Battery drain, Try doing a Factory Reset. It's not draining battery anymore especially when idle. It must be a faulty program or something that lives on your old firmware/installation. My phone somehow returned to normal after a reset. ^w^

  • it says You may already have the latest software, depending on the date of purchase. Software updates are released at different times depending on operator and/or country. Therefore, we cannot give you an exact date for when a specific update will be available for your device... it means even sony don't know when its going to be available for various country it will just pop up to your notification bar randomly which is the exciting part brah

  • sony support says latest OS is lollipop, but when I check the updates on my phone, it's still not abailable

  • is xperia zr can upgrade to lollipop????

  • No. Not till now ..

  • after updating my ZR with lollipop it is eating battery like anything and another thing is the alarm volume is very less despite it is kept on full in the settings. any solution for this? any other experience about lollipop?

  • Hw is front facing camera clarity?? Is it sucks??

  • Thats not good brah... However lollipop is kinda cool don't ya think brah?...

  • Well the heating issue is just an unsolvable problem when ur gaming with this phone i dont even think that this can be solved by software update even in lollipop this phone heats up same with previous updates, when im paying CoC,asphalt 8,gangstar vegas and etc.

  • And one more thing brah im using 4.4.4 kitkat I haven't update yet...my phone heat a lot when playing nfs mw and real racing...i dont know if it will change when i update to lollipop...

  • What the? Dont ask me ask mr. Vadivelu...but yes it heat a lot when playing nfs most wanted and real racing 3 for 3 minutes but in normal use nah it doesn't heat...i dont know to mr. Vadivelu if what heat is he talking about brah...

  • Ok thank you ! :D I will probably do it. :)

  • Nice job my friend keep it up...do still have 1.1gb free ram after updating to lollipop?...

  • mine is c5502 and i received it via ota a day after announcement. just be patient you'll get it soon. you could also try updating via pc companion

  • The internal memory is still the same but the ram improved i think but there is some few features that annoyed me like the google search tab in multitask and when playing a music your lock screen changes into music cover which is ugly because it's pixelated and it cannot be disabled or remove. still monitoring the battery if there is a drainage

  • As I have just now seen on net, The Lollipop Update 5.0.2 which is announced for Sony Xperia ZR is only for the LTE Model C5503. (For Now atleast). My ZR model is C5502. When I am going to get this Lollipop update or NOT? If anyone knows about this then plz post here.

  • To have clean update brah...just back up yout contacts and sms messages via super back up...if you have game saves that dont have cloud save say bye2 to it brah...:-D

  • If you dont wnt to lose you precious game save them you dont have to brah...if you what to bck up things back up sms conversation and contacts thats all brah..

  • Yeah! Finally!!! :D Why is factory reset needed? And should I back up before I do it? If so how do I back up?

  • Cool brah...good for you...how about the internal memory after updating to LP how much is free.and how much RAM is free?

  • Got impatient with lollipop and updated mine i did a hard reset first, the update process took me an hour. but the wait was truly worth it i love the new lollipop ui. The app icon gotten more bigger and the thing i wanted the most was the move apps to sd as a gamer. no issues so far but the only thing that annoyed me was the google search button on the multi task which cannot be removed even if you disable the google search but overall the lollipop update was a fast,smooth,bugfree update(for now)

  • The brand name of Sony is spoiled by the local customer care service in India.... Fed up with the customer care members... :( :(

  • The lollipop update might come next week said sony philippines on their twitter, but why do a hard reset anyway?

  • Even I am facing issue with headphone jack in my Sony Xperia ZR. Speaker and Microphone of my phone was not working fine. So I thought it might be a hardware issue and can be repaired. As my warranty period of phone was expired, I had to give my phone for service to a third-party vendor. They communicated that headphone jack was broken and it was the reason for all these issue with speaker and mic. Is there any fix for these problem?? Please help me out.

  • the lollipop update is not so far from mt. tralala... so before you update pls do a factory data reset...and befor you factory data reset uninstall first all your apps...but its up to you...:-D

  • LoL !!! its true...

  • In the afterlife probably. Or maybe even in the life after the after life

  • Hello Friends anyone know when we get Lollipop update for our ZR ?

  • All Sony phones best

  • it can last for 1 day if your going to use the desk clock only...

  • to bad for you brah not nice indeed...

  • Phone itself has good specs, fast enough for internet browsing and playing games(it does heat up though). I like the removable battery and SDcard. However, 8GB internal memory translates into 4.52GB available and SDcard is limited to 32GB, unlike what the website says. It's made all of plastic and screen is assembled with double-sided sticky tape. The biggest problem I had was the headphones socket that gets broken easily, phone thinks it is always connected and internal speaker is no longer working. If you're in UK, I advise you not to buy it, Sony UK won't repair it since it's "unsupported" by them. The seller on Amazon ignored me completely although the phone still had warranty. Sony Hong Kong told me they wouldn't support users from other countries so I ended up repairing the socket myself which got broken 2 months later.

  • Yes,how many hours can it takes with screen on

  • Im a big fan of SONY ERICSSON MOBILE. I have used 3 mobile phones of it. But frankly speaking im nt impress by its xperia zr. Camera snap: very disappointed with this part of sony. Photo was clear but its blurred while zooming. So dont ever think abt zoom. If you compare camera 13mp with any Samsung or nexus 5 (8MP). then also you will nt get tht much deep details of the photo. Camera video recording: impressive. Audio jack: no other cheap headphone works here. Only some will works. Heat: phone gets heated using

  • Im a big fan of sony.. I hv used 3 phones and now im using Xperia ZR. Frankly speaking im not happy with it. Camera snap: Poor performance (never thought abt zooming). It will blurred. If you compare it with Nexus 5 (8MP shutter) you will definitely disappointed. Camera video recording: quite impressive. Quality is good.

  • Does your 4.4.4kitkat phone have openGL 3.0 VERSION on xzr? Or Z?

  • I see makes sense thats y my 2nd unit xzr dont have sim tray because its cheaper compare to the 1st unit and and what higher version you are talking about bro? I mean the os version or unit version?...

  • Totally Dabba, Are You know all Xperia Z, Zr, Z ultra etc.. are non repairable phone that means if you have a simple issue related to your any hardware i.e. Earphone, microphone, Bluetooth etc... this is not repairable. they will told you to replace this phone to it's higher version with MRP and considered only 30-40% of your previous phone price. that mean a persons who takes the xperia Z by paying Rs.40,000 they will consider only Rs.5000- 6000(current price Rs.18000*30%) to replace with it's higher version. I am one of the Fan of Sony Xperia and using 2 xperia phone parallely but right know I feel they will cheat customer because this is Sony fault not customer fault.

  • Xperia zr 4.3 update,heating problem...4.4.2 heating problem. I like a phone sp, z1c, z2...

  • Yes you can move apps

  • Yes all z series are only the updatable to lollipop .. They are working on it

  • And Xperia M4 Aqua is a best choice

  • both of them are the best, but Z1 C is better

  • yes you can move apps to sdcard

  • Hi dears.I have xperia zr. I have a question about this smartphone. If this phone updating to android 5.0 (lollipop), can i move my apps and my games data to sd memory card? Please answer this question in here. I checked this page every day. thanks everybody that read my question.

  • If u want a good shot with ur camera set it to manual and just us 100 iso if ur are using in day but in the night u can set the iso to automatic

  • Same the only deference between xperia zr and A is internal mem and infrared...it doesn't matter now cuz lollipop is coming u can now use ur sd for the apps...

  • If only the Japanese share this xperia A to other countries im sure we are all using it instead of zr or maybe zr will never exis.. But.i love my zr although it olny have 4.5 internal mem and no infrared besides lollipop is coming yeah!!.....

  • xperia zr or z1 compact

  • this is the best mobile in the world.... because i never faced up any issue from this..... 10/10 ratings....

  • oh sure??? lets compare your ZR specs to my Xperia A specs,lets check which phone will win??

  • My display also had a hairline crack after I put it in my pocket. But unlike urs my zr was repaired under warranty. Infact I got a replacement.

  • One of the best mobile. Really a magnefecient mobile. Just a little heat problem.Overall 9 out of 10.

  • can this phone do call recording

  • can this phone do call recording

  • xperia a? stuck!!!

  • best phone with best price for ever!!!!! just wait for android 5 ... im so exciting ^___^

  • I have Xperia A Docomo,and now im using 4.4.4 its battery is muce better than the stock OS,compare to Xperia ZR?? so what's the plan regarding on Lollipop update?? im barely waiting for the release

  • i have XPERIA A or DOCOMO :) it has 32GB internal,as of now it is good enough than the flagship ZR,so i recommend to all to buy the XPERIA A than the XPERIA ZR as itself :) just a comment

  • Buying Sony Xperia ZR was one of the costly mistake i did. The phone works fine for everything except for the very basic thing it is made for. i,e sometimes my microphone doesn't work at all and i have to make the calls thrice to talk to other person. The other party cannot hear anything from my end. I regret buying this shit and strongly recommend others not to buy.

  • I have this phone since 5 months ago, and this could be the best phone talking about price/quality but I have some problems: the Wifi (it can't be fixed because is a manufacturing issue) sometimes if you press the back cover in the right of the nfc logo will work again but I cannot be sure if that will work for ever, another issue is that the earphone from one day to another didn't work again and I can only make the phonecalls with the speaker turned on. The overheating is a recurring problem, the gps is something that helps on it so if you stop using it be sure to disable it and to close properly all the apps that were using the gps, with this you shouldn't be worried for the overheating. I searched on ebay and didn't find tempered glass so be sure to use carefully the screen because the "scratch resistant" technology is not that effective like Gorilla Glass. I hope that this help other users or people who are thinking on buy this phone, sorry for my english I speak spanish.

  • when Xperia ZR will upgrade to v5.0 (LollipoP) since last 3 months it is showing planned upgrade to v5.0. can you please give me the time line on the same.

  • Unbelievable phone. Specs are hard to rival in a replaceable battery phone. I'm happy with every aspect of the phone except the screen could be a LITTLE brighter and the internal (8gb) memory is a LITTLE low for KitKat (nothing fatal). Also, it is more than enough for Lollipop. Consequently the Xperia A (SO-04E) is the exact same phone except with 32GB internal. Might get that next unlocked.

  • How to upgrade ZR to lollipop software...

  • Yes. Thanks a lot man for the info thats why I went for OnePlus One.

  • Hi Victor after a long time, unfortunately there is no chance dude

  • It will b fine for 6-7 months than will start to hang... And will irritate you .... Evn the in built app walkman misbehaves ... Very often ... Its design is nice bt the outer side strip will come off ... Its very fragile .... Nt upto the mark ...

  • I am using this phone for almost 6 months now the phone never lags even when i play games like call of duty or real racing. Camera its seriously not 13mp as it states the picture quality is not that good. The built - its is quite stylish and comfortable but its on a delicate side. The speakers are ok not that great. PPOBLEMS i faced till now are Never keep this phone in your back pocket, the screen easily gets cracked and it is not covered under warranty In India if u repair the screen it will cost you around 10k So be aware.

  • Depends on your pocket. The price is very different between these two. If you have the money,Z Ultra has better CPU and GPU and Second Camera.Also the Benchmark results shows that Z Ultra has a better performance as well.

  • Hi frnds i need help that i would know which phone is best xperia z ultra or zr plz tel me fast frnds...

  • this is a phone guys a great phone well i should say an epic phone being a phone not a phablet it has its downsides like the small screen and the poor front camera NOT GOOD FOR SELFIE SHOOTERS But THE DEDICATED CAMERA KEY HELPS WITH THE SELFIE but it has its own advantages like the high ppi and the the extremely good back camera which shoots a very good vedio as well as photos tons of features have been added due to the sony social camera and its getting the lollipop update very soon so all seems great this phone is a sturdy one i have dropped it several time nothing has happened to it yet its waterproof it has 2 gb ram the internal storage is a little disappointing but as they say YOU CANT GET EVERYTHING AT ONCE the net build quality of the phone is uncompromised this is a good daily driver and with all rest of the sony features it makes up for an extremely worth the money deal..

  • brother this is a problem of the headphone jack the pin inside it is just stuck the best thing to do is to go to the service center but a home remedy is also there take a nokia headphone and push it in and out of the headphone jack point it usually tends to solve the problem..

  • if you're willing you can root your phone and then swap internal to external sd card

I was asked to pay 80% of the MRP of the phone and take a new one which was quiet foolish about them as it amounted to almost Rs. 20,000/- (INR). I got the touch and display changed from others for Rs. 4000/-

  • Zr is way better than lumia 730 in all aspects.. But if you're a selfie freak and need a simple device that can do all tasks, get the lumia 730

  • Search in witrigs.com you'll get there

  • Exactly half the price of the device.. And they'll replace u with a new one

  • Hi All, I bought this handset 6 months back and i broke its screen 2 days back. can someone tell me how much will the screen cost me?

  • Friends ..I am Chandrasekhar Acharya from Bhubaneswar. I had purchased a ZR last year and repeatedly wasted my lots of time to keep alive the scrap from sony. It has automatically screen breaking problems.And sony instead of doing RCA they are trying to convey me that it was broken accidental by me. they have a handy-capt management with out any authority to take decisions.They only provide wty for six month for such case. After that you are going to receive a offer that you purchase any other phone we give 20% off.Ha ha ha...What a marketing plan these guys hv. Please don't by Sony Xperia ZR if you wanna peace in life.

  • Who says its well behind 29 k its now only 25 k that will be not be a prob

  • thx,gaaron u r aim from phone version is OS(android) version?

  • Yes it is compatible if ur phone version is 4.2.2 and above...

  • I bought this Mobile last year. It's simply awesome. Positives : Great camera quality in day light. Water resistant Battery ram and rom Upgradable Compactable, fits in your pocket and can b used in single hand Never lags Negatives : Primary camera is not good in night flash. poor secondary camera, doesn't suits for selfies During incoming calls, reject with msg option is annoying while taking the mobile out from ur pocket. price 27k when I bought, BT it's Nw well behind 20 k. So it won't be a pblm.

  • I bought this Mobile last year. It's simply awes

  • hi there! any one use Sony Xperia ZR with microSD 64 GB? it`s supported?it`s OK? i have C5502 ver. thx for your answer.

  • Sony Zr , Android is power than window phone , more option, More app

  • When the lollipop 5.0 will upgrade in Xperia ZR?

  • Android, in my opinion, is the better OS for your mobile phone. Android offers you more control over your device, more app selection etc. Even the common applications such as whatsapp and instagram are not as functional in windows as they are on Android. My suggestion is this - go with an Android phone. Sony xperia ZR seems like a good choice. I'm looking for a phone to purchase and i'm also considering xperia ZR

  • When lollipop 5.0 upgrade in xperia Zr???

  • Xperia

  • Can anybody suggest me, which one should i go for. Sony xperia or lumia. Specially lumia 730. Which 1 will b better android or windows? Please reply.

  • Hi guys how can i download the app to the sdcard and transfer the current app to it?

  • i owned i phone 5c and i need to change it to android what do u think guys about zr

  • Is vga but not good for Selfie Good for video calling

  • how is the secondary camera for xperia ZR?? is it good??

  • See xperia zr and moto x will perform the same,but if you want stock Android experience then go for moto x or moto g2 of you want to use sony ui which I like very much then go for xperia zr or c3 Now moto x is better than moto g2 so if you want to go for moto go for moto x And if.you want to go for sony ui here are the condition 1) us you want more ram,a better gpu go for xperia zr 2) if you are a Selfie fan go for sony c3

  • I completely agree with you ziggy Xperia zr is much better Especially it's gpu ;)

  • lol @ noahz, cos dey said d phone is water resistant u want to turn it into a fish and save it in an aquarium??? lolz. no wonder ur name is noahz, sorry dude d phone aint a fish. and d water resistance is meant for 1meter, up to 30minutes. i guess dat pool of urs was above 1meter, or u stayed longer dan 30minutes. note: 1 meter shud be somewere above ur waist line if u are a 5.8ft tall guy. now u know u went too deep. winkz#

  • u cant even begin to compare xperia zr wit lumia 730.... xperia zr-camera 13.1mp, lumia 730-camera 6.7mp. xperia zr-water resistant, lumia 730-not water resistant xperia zr-resolution 323ppi, lumia 730- res 316ppi xperia zr- battery 2300mah, lumia 730-battery 2200mah xperia zr- speed 42.2/5.76, lumia 730-speed 21.1/5.76 xperia zr-mhl tv-out, lumia 730 dosnt hav tv out. xperia zr has 2,3&4g, lumia 730 only 2&3g... i can go on and on, xperia zr beats lumia 730 in every ramification, except dat d lumia is abit bigger 4.7 inches, while xperia zr is 4.55 inches. which to me dosnt make a difference.

  • go to lumia 730.. u will never regret it.. windows phone will surpass the laggish android ..

  • which one i should buy among sony zr, sony c3, moto g2, moto x am confused....

  • sony is a quality trusted brand..good specs smartphones..but when it comes to looks???..its so ugly.looks like a match box..hahaha

  • yeah ur ryt bro windows phone is better than laggish android. i won't go back again to android .. im happy with my lumia..

  • You are absolutely right bro if your battery lasts for a day or two you should be happy

  • dude! just compare the specs of the phone the higher specs the better... because all us have good and bad experience of our phone and most of us give the bad experience even we enjoy the phone and has a good quality...and one more thing all powerful phone sucks!!! even it has 4000mah batt!! if you can remove it especially if you are a havy user and gamer... it goes like this non remobable batt + power bank = fun and powerful BUT! if you have extra spare batt + power bank = extra fun extra powerful...:-D

  • Htc 820

  • I am confused in between moto x, xperia zr and htc 816g.. please do recommend which of these would be the best to buy..

  • I think you have not seen the specifications so don't complain about water proof, it's water resistant. Then for camera it's nice but not great but much better than those plastics (you know what I am taking about). And last battery, none smart phone battery lasts for a week, so please it's great if it lasts more than a day. Personally I own a zr and I use wifi/Internet for two hours, heavy gaming for two hours and 4-5 calls of 10 mins or more per day and still it lasts for 24 hours and it's stamina mode is really great. Other thing please had you updated your zr to latest firmware it doesn't get overheated, it gets a little warm, as told I am a heavy gamer I play mc4 everyday for an hour or two it gets just a little warm. And I don't oppose you owning any phone because it's your wish to choose any platform and according to my opinion lumia 730 is great in its type but zr is the beast of its range

  • i had bought sony xperia zr 8 months back its charging port cap had broken and you ppl dont belive this that part is not supplied by the company that cap is to protect from water best to buy india phones DO BUY SONY XPERIA ZR WASTE PHONE

  • Brother I think your opinion Is not correct

  • guys believe me android phones like this is not worth buying for. i myself experienced buying xperia zr and noticed that it so poor in many items. xperia zr is not waterproof, very poor screen technology, poor camera, poor battery and it also overheating when playing games like c.o.c, making calls and others. nonethless this phone is great when multitasking and updating the firmware by manufacturer. Yet i decided to sell it for a "lower" price and decided to migrate in windows phone. Alas! i was so happy buying lumia 730 for a lower price but satisfying user experience. i recommend windows phone for everyone because it is the future of the smartphone and u will never regret it :)

  • haha, that's the consequence of testing the phone's water resistance too much. there are two things you should have considered before doing that. first the phone was labeled water resistant not water proof. 2nd under warranty it is stated that water damage is not included.

  • I owned this device for 4 months, here's the story, i bought this last august. i put my zr in to a normal water and wait for 20minutes, and after that its working fine. then next scene was i submerged my zr into swimming pool, took selfie,groufie, swimming while the phone is on my hands, and after all those activities, i noticed that the camera was blured. and i checked the lens of camera, and there is a moise. so i removed the battery and tried to clean, all of a sudden i put the battery back, and after that the phone is not turning ON anymore. the technician told me that the motherboard has been damage due to water. :<

  • Very bad phone, ip rating is a scam bcoz no matter wht u do smhw water goes inside those flap covered port n damages ur handset. Now I feel like I wasted my money by going for a Sony phone. Never gonna buy another Sony and also will advice my frnds from buying Sony too. Service centres are also not good.

  • Amongst the 3 u mentioned zr is the most powerfull.Since u r a heavy gamer both moto x nd zr will do the job bt the battery lyf on both are just above average. Avoid honor 6 (best battery but) it has lots of bug as of nw. If i were u i would go for moto x since it has better screen & zr is kinda old nw.so go for moto x :)

  • How is camera quality in low light bro????

  • Confusing with xperia zr,honor 6,moto x which one is best pls reply making hard decision Iam a heavy gamer ,i want good battery backup which one i choose pls reply.. Thanks! In xperia zr apps can move to sdcard?

  • I purchased sony sbh52 Bluetooth some time ago. I m very happy it with using with my xperia zr. Few days ago i m hearing songs with it and suddenly my phone disconnected with my Bluetooth. I reset mobile but now my mobile cannot connect any mobile or Bluetooth devices.

  • i am using this phone for moreover than 2 months and this phone is simply awesome..it doesn't hang even for a second in 2 months. this phone has enough ram,it has faboulous camera quality,adreno 320 is best for gaming... snapdragon s4 processor is one of the fastest processor with four cores.each core responds to the the workload.... this helps in more and more saving of the battery life.. and its baterry life is 2 days with an avg. use and it gets full charge in around 2 and half hour.........

  • Plz dont buy this phone i am facing abnorml heating in that mobile i gave 6times to service center but they never repair

  • Xperia ZR or Moto X? Which is a better buy? Also considering long term use.

  • Both are awesome :) At night though flash of camera is a bit weak.

  • Why do you think its expensive phone now? You can get this phone @16500 Rs / $280 from flipkart.com Afterall you are getting a 2gb waterproof phone at this cool price and that toobfrom SONY :)

  • Camera is ok..not best.not bad..but camera is good. Front camera is ok too.but not so good front camera.

  • it is really expensive to buy this phone since this phone launch in 2013 so, sony should reduce the price of this phone so that customer can buy this phone as this range many options and sony after sale service are worst!!!!!!!!!!! sony should take immediate steps to increase the SALE!!!!!!!

  • Yes... Me too after 4.4.4 update I m unable to pair with my sony MW600 headset... Please help any solution

  • Take your phone to the nearest sony service center i incounter that problem a month ago if your lucky you will have a new unit f not they will just replace the earspeacker

  • Me too

  • Nice

  • Hiii Friends I have problem in my Xperia zr when I call another so voice is not heard it's work speaker only.. Please help me what can I do

  • Very nice

  • on 4.3 onwards you can download themes and pick ones that suits your preference, or if you have root, you can modify each elements and make a totally customized interface design. I don't see much difference between 4.1 and 4.3 in regards of interface and performance. I prefer 4.3 though since 4.1 interface design are somewhat "hollow"

  • I am considering buying xperia zr soon, but since I hate the sony interface from android 4.3 onwards (I use an xperia sp on 4.3 currently), I will stick to the 4.1 firmware. I wanted to know how is the performance (gaming, multitasking, user interface) on the 4.1 firmware and any other bugs that might be present.

  • too good phone too sensitive when u touch problem will occur battery backup some better but phoneis very good

  • how is camera quality...this handst better or not?

  • if u want a good phone you have to look for the features like camera it must 8mp or above front can 1mp above,internal men 8gb above and it must have SD slot and PPI 260 above ram 2gb above battery 2000mah or above Bluetooth v4 above NFC supported then compare it to the other phone that u like and the CPU 1.5ghz above

  • i thinking for buy this phone plz friend tell me its camera quality

  • Go to song list. And long press for any song. Then use as ringtone. If it's not working then download mp3 cutter, cut a song and u can set default.

  • Is xperia zr upgradable to Android 5.0 lollipop in india

  • what about battery long life time ? and which better Samsung grand 2 or Sony Xperia ZR ?

  • Moto x have no sd slot ryt? Even the moto x 2014?

  • Go To Sony Site And Complain. Or Sale It In OLX And Buy Moto X :)

  • yes.

  • Is ZR still good now? I'm planning to buy one but the release of new smartphones are crazy. I'll just ask If ZR will still be worthit until 2015 or so? Looking forward for your reply guys.

  • the front cam is not at all good.. Starting to feel like changing my phone.

  • i cant able to change my ringtone pls siuggest how to rectify that problem

  • i cant able to set a ringtone in my mobile how to recover that error

  • Battery life no problem at all long lasting power.rear cam not good at night But its not that bad and in daytime very good use the normal mode and set iso to 100 to reduce the grayish spot

  • Kindly i want ask about battery life & rear camera quality , thanks in advance :)

  • I think this phone is good all-around. Interface is good, no lag at all, especially when I changed the animation speed to 0.5 it feels like I'm running on 3Ghz, no lag, no bottleneck whatsoever. Display is good, at least compared to the Z. I have no problem seeing the screen on bright sunlight with brightness set to minimum + auto-adjusted, and clarity is what you might expect of a 300+ ppi, nice and crisp(depends on your picture/video resolution). And there's very little reflection on screen(quite a feat for an lcd display). Speaker quality is average, and again you can just plug it to a better external speaker or just use your earphone(sound is great with earphone thanks to walkman). The camera is grainy at first but after I took the pic it's as clear as it should be(note: use the camera button it's there for a purpose). So far(about 9 months) no problem with the flaps, maybe it's because I have long fingernails I can precisely open it with minimum force. Battery is good enough for normal usage, with games it usually lasts about 4-6 hour full charged. Gaming I give 7/10, it plays alright, but there are fps drops here & there on heavy 3d games though not that significant(maybe it's just my eyes since I'm used with playing @60fps on PC). Design I think it's better than samsung(This is subjective since I don't like round corners and plastic-y(???) looks). It's sharp, simple, subtle. Simply cool. And price is great too, about 20% cheaper than Z with same spec, plus better water resistance. Sum up this is good, the pros beat the cons.

  • Its good, but kinda older now. Everything is good, camera, battery, call, gaming, speed :) But I m just bored from this phone because new phones like nexus 6 and moto x are coming :) Also MI 4 is coming , I will buy MI4 ..

  • After reading your review , I think I should buy this phone :D

  • my coment is the battery no good huhghuhuhu

  • This phone is so good, I bought it the second time, only chapter where it could improve is: more internal memory, better front facing camera and maybe a higher headphone volume. I gave it a rough time for 1 jr and a half and it survived in excelent condition. USB flab recently went on his own but i got another one from aliexpress.com and will install it in 5 min with the help of an online tutorial. Very good phone at a very good price right now, buy it guys! P.S. Rear camera is really good!

  • power button and volume up for 1 minute

  • Hey anybody of you guys will please guide me about how to root windows for this xperia zr?.

  • Hi how can i return back to android 4.1.2 from 4.4.4

  • Hi friends anyone know how to root Xperia ZR device I want to root my device want to flash MIUI rom.

  • in 2015

  • yeah I know, but sometimes it happens we unintentionally had used McAfee and then it become a pain to delete it, safe mode just help to get rid of 3rd party app from working, so it is just my way to be sure that no interruption is there.

  • Xperia ZR screen: �4.55", 16 million colours, 1280 x 720 pixels �Shatter-proof sheet on scratch-resistant glass

  • check this link

  • in version 4.4.4 you can do it without booting in safe mode

  • yep

  • When Android 5.0 will come on this device

  • when did android 5.0 will be availble

  • Although the method is safe, i did used the same way, but still i would say, i should not be held responsible for any mishappening to your phone.

  • The best way to do this is going through safe mode. 1 press switch off button for few second untill the dialog appear for switch off. 2 Long press switch off button, a pop-up will come asking for reboot in safe mode, click yes. 3 phone will now restart in safe mode. 4 goto setting > security > device administrators. 5 untick McAfee. 6 click back and go to app section, search for mcafee in download tab or all tab. 7 now u can uninstall this. 8 after uninstall. Power off the phone and switch on again. It will boot up to normal mode without McAfee.

  • plz tell, how can i throw out 'McAfee security' from my ZR??

  • The VGA camera is not great. Colours always look washed out and noisy, focus is decent enough though.

  • in 4.4.4 you can't :/

  • Plz tell me about the frnt camera....how abt its quality....with vga does it provide gud pic....

  • how can I transfer apps from internal memory to SD? can u help? thanks

  • No, it's not protected by gorilla glass, but it uses tempered glass which should be as tough as gorilla glass.

  • any1 tel me whether sony Xperia ZR is of Gorilla glass or not

  • I agree zr2 is a must...

  • Download file commander

  • Sony, please launch zr2. I am tired from other Sony phones because they have non removable battery.

  • yeah ryt version 5 is coming the questions is apps to SD option is included? or it well be just a good ui and display and a lot of internal and ram will lose? if no app to SD its not wort it cuz f u do update it u will find ur self complaining after u update it and the worst part if u don't. now how to root like me will my friend good luck...:-D as of now I'm good with the 4.2.2...

  • Good phone, nice screen and fast CPU, replaceable battery and SDcard, but downside low internal memory available, only 4.5 out of 8GB, also apps cannot be moved to SDcard so no big games titles unless you uninstall everything else. Headphones socket broke after almost a year and nobody wants to fix it, phone was bought via Amazon UK and Sony Mobile Support UK says "non-UK handset, we cannot repair it" and Sony Hong Kong (phone's region) says "we don't support users from other regions"... I'm very disappointed by their support.

  • Best phone under 30000 in Nepal and not to forget that its getting android 5.0 which makes the deal even better.

  • Last time I updated to Kitkat, I have major issue with not being able to use external SD card by 3rd party apps. I downgraded back to Jellybean. I know it's Kitkat's issue but are there any related updates after that?

  • Yes, the notification light is below the screen ~

  • Yes you can buy this phone as Sony plan to upgrade it to Lollipop which they haven't decided for E series phones and even C series phones

  • am using xperia zr with 4.4.4n, whenever i get a call and i slide the red button to diconnect the call but the ringtone gets hang pause for a second i get to hear a part of the ringtone for 1-2 sec even after disconnecting he call i tried to do a reset but its still the same, r u having this issue with your phone???

  • It doesn't have a Gorilla glass but still tough , i dropped it a couple of times but nothing happened. Yes, it does have a notification light below the screen. 2 months handson usage Verdict: installed around 60 apps ( no games) still buttery smooth, battery life around 15 hours with 3G on and medium brightness. Voice clarity superb, speaker is good , Camera apps are amazing, though clarity in low Iight needs to be compromised. Touch is ultra sensitive . Super phone coz got it for 16500 flipkart India.

  • Yes

  • Can any1 tel me whther sony Xperia ZR is of Gorilla glass or not?

  • friends...does xperia zr have notification light???

  • all the specifications which i was searching i found in in this phone tht too in my budget... but i heard tht production is stopped and its not available every so it true.?? shall i buy this or any better option

  • it depends on charger, if 1.5A is output of charger, then takes 90 minutes. With 1A, takes 2 hours

  • Just connect your xperia zr to sony pc companion. It will automatically connect ur phone to it when will detect the latest software update, now just follow the instruction which will guide you to how to process further with the updation process

  • I am totally disappointed with the services given by Sony service center as my mobile is under repair since 30 days. I have submitted my new mobile on 26/9/2014 against Ticket I.D : 14092602099 dt. 26/9/2014 Job no. W114092602099. and service center has given me replacement on 30/9/2014 but they have provided a defective mobile to me which i have returned on 1/10/14 against Ticket I.D: 14100104063, job no.: W114100104063 and i was informed that they will provide my mobile back within 10 days but it's more than 20 days but no replacement given to me. I have requested so many times to please provide me replacement against defective mobile as i have invested Rs. 25500 with Sony India and facing poor services but they never listen.

  • I hope the version 5.0 they will include the apps to sd options for the zr...i just hope

  • Really awesome phone with great battery life and with the 4.4.4 update, there are no bugs. Sony really got it right with this one! The only thing I wish it had is a better low light camera. Regular daylight pictures are very good though.

  • Xperia zr or moto x first gen

  • Wen u bought ur mobile?

  • This phone copmes very handy..rough use, waterproof, dustproof..and its up gradable to Kitkat 4.4.4. i recently installed this update. rest battery life is too good on stamina mode. no lagging between switching apps. easily fit in my pocket & in my hand coz of its decent screen size. All in all best phone in its range with 2gb ram.

  • Upgraded to 4.4.4 Kitkat... Awesome!! In love with Xperia ZR!!

  • Moto g 2014 has small battery comparing to screen size it should be atleast 2300 mAh but it's 2000 mAh and though it is non removable. I can easily suggest you go for zr.

  • Does it have heating problm

  • Looking forward to incoming Lolipop update ~

  • install android booster

  • Upgrade your mobile os to kitkat. Download Esfile manager select, cut and paste the complete file to your external sd card.

  • Guys can u help me how to show the storage or you ram.... Internal is 4.6gb only.... Apps can't transfer to sd card... I love my xperia zr best smartphone at low prize.... Camera battery life is great..

  • I can suggest xperia zr c5503 good performance and battery life.. Also good for photography a 13mp cam is not bad,good for taking pict underwater.. Zr the best midrange smartphone

  • Zr can be upgrade to 4.4.4 version kitkat, that Im using now,and its great the phone works good the performance and battery life is very good.... I love my xperia zr easier in the pocket. Worry free in bad weather.... Dust and water resistant

  • I've been using it for a one year and i just faced one problem . The cover for my ZR charge has pull OUT from it place, can it being fixed? why SONY now make all type of their phone liked that? not suitable for who always uses for the phone and always charged it.

  • Low light photos are pathetic. Can anyone suggest how to improve low light photos.

  • Xzr is still stable after kitkat 4.4.4, the battery life also still ok... phone performnce is very good, v fast. Battery life depends on many factors, it will go down (like all other mobile phones) if your mobile or Internet data signal is low, your wifi signals is low if you made location service always on, bluetooth left on, screen brightness is high brightness or not on automatic...and so on. So l hope people that are almost always complain about battery life, she be sure first of these settings pluse making stamina mood on. Finally, lm personally a fan of buying and trying mid range (250-450 $) mobile phones. I used samsung (galaxy grand, S3, S4) LG (L9, L5) LENOVO (820S, 850S) and l can honestly till you friends that XPERIA ZR is the phone that pleased me of all the above and is the most usefull and reliable one at home and during travel. All other phones needed reset after maximally 6 month of use except XZR.

  • Fail dude :P , It is upgradeable to 4.4.4

  • Mr.Arnav It cannot upgradable to 4.4.4kitkat can be upgradable to 4.4.2 kitkat only..

  • Nice phone

  • Gyus what about the display does its colour also look like washed away, currently iam using xperia c and it has vert light colour contrast because both phone uses olderTFT display or it is better in xp zr.

  • just make sure your phone is not too hot when you submerge it on water i freak out when i see water droplets inside camera & flash but after a few hours the moisture dries i dont think its software issue im on 4.2

  • I can't install the OTA 4.4.4 update. it says it cannot be installed. I also tried updating in PC Companion but it stuck on initializing. What's wrong? Im currently at 4.4.2. The phone gets hot when using camera so if i submerge it on water, the lens got moist. Is it still happening on 4.4.4.?

  • While in a call the sound is low even in headphone the sound is low and not upto mark..... How it can be increased. Please suggest

  • While in call the sound is low even in headphone. How to increase that thing please suggest me....

  • Sony Xperia ZR is upgradable up to 4.4.4(Kitkat)...

  • it is up gradable to android 4.4. i am experiencing a good battery life

  • I tried it twice underwater and as long as you close the usb and headphone port then nothing should damage your phone And the battery should stay 8 hours if you if you alawyas work on it and 17-25h with medium usage and 2+ days plus with low usage . And kitkat is already available in egypt so if you still haven't been notified by it's release in your phone you can try checking through sony pc companion

  • The headset flap of my ZR was detached DDoes the warranty cover it??

  • Are there any tried it in the water? what about android kitkat 4.4.4 because my device is 4.3 ? what about battery isit good or not because my battery isnot good . I'm from Egypt. Please reply

  • Sony Xperia ZR is better for you. B'coz Grand -2 is very slow process..

  • My xperia zr c5502 is facing bout the 3g problem.. 3g opened but cant connect

  • I owned this device for 2months already, so the performance and battery of this device is good. 7 out of 10. if you are looking for a midrange smartphone + waterprof, I would really suggest Xperia ZR to you. if you have a higher budget go for Z3 Compact :D

  • Free space is still 4.59Gb excluding installed apps (bloatwares and apps intalled by me)... and RAM approx. 1025Mb free on my phone (currently playing walkman, wifi on), also know that when wifi is on, some apps would run on BG without you knowing, eating your RAM...

  • Are there any tried it in the water? what about android kitkat 4.4.4 because my device is 4.3 ? what about battery isit good or not because my battery isnot good . I'm from Egypt. Please reply

  • already updated 4.4.4 sony xperia zr

  • Xzr is still stable after kitkat 4.4.4, the battery life also still ok... phone performnce is very good, v fast. Battery life depends on many factors, it will go down if your mobile signals are weak, your mobile Internet data signal is weak, your wifi signals is weak if you made location service always on, bluetooth left on, screen brightness is not on lowest or not on automatic...and so on. So l hope people that are almost always complain about battery life, she be sure first of these settings pluse making stamina mood on. Finally, lm personally a fan of buying and trying mid range (250-450 $) mobile phones. I used samsung (galaxy grand, S3, S4) LG (L9, L5) LENOVO (820S, 850S) and l can honestly till you friends that XPERIA ZR is the phone that pleased me of all the above and is the most usefull and reliable one at home and during travel. All other phones needed reset after 6 month of use except XZR!!

  • Is there any issue after updating to kitkat 4.4 ,like battery or any other problem??

  • please dont take this so naughty phone charge is getting down fastly

  • Are there any tried it in the water? what about android kitkat 4.4.4 because my device is 4.3 ? what about battery isit or not because my battery isnot good . I'm from Egypt. Please reply

  • Hi bisho I have the zr over a year now and it is great but the internal storage isn't 8 it's 4.6 :/ and the camera is not so good in low light otherwise it's a great phone for its price I also took a lot of underwater photos with no problem Ps I am Egyptian too :P

  • Guys, I have a budget of 2500 EGP that's about $300, i'm so much into the zr. I was making sure I'm doing the right decision, minimum requirements: adreno 320 gpu, 1.5 quad cpu, 2 gigs of ram and an internal storage of 8 gigabytes. I'd like the waterproof feature too.So if you got any suggestions it'd help, especially from zr users

  • moto x or g

  • This problem happen on probably all high-end phone ~

  • Not really, it is depend on user ~ It can easily last 3 days for my phone ~

  • Yes ~ There is no App2SD feature on 4.4.4 update ~ And u probably no need to think it will be available in future update ~ Because it is using the same firmware that used on Xperia Z and ZL ~

  • If you want to get more software update ~ You should get Moto 2 gen. ~ If u want higher performance out of those three, get Xperia ZR ~ How ever u cant move app to SD card ~ If u want to play game, it is not recommend u to get those three, go find bigger internal storage phone ~

  • Which one is best s4 mini or sony zr or motor g 2nd gen

  • Please tell me r u guys could not able to move apps to SD even after kitkat update?

  • Yes sir I guess thats the new eco mode controller now for new version just clear the data. im using the old version. Thats why its eco mode controller. In my phone...

  • And if anyone of u having a problem about the power management I know most of us experiencing the power management date details from 14 days and 18 hours and suddenly become just 20 hours or 13 ryt? U just have to clear the data of eco mode controller under the apps u can find it on all look for the eco mode controller then clear data and restart and done problem solve...

  • U mean heating problems while charging??

  • Yes

  • is it possible to upgrade for android Kitkat 4.4 latest version

  • my Samsung s3 display got damaged & I brought ZR online last weekend as stock clearance sale which costed me INR 18,500 ($304). Sony has discontinued Z & ZR (confirmed with Sony Store). After unboxing, i have updated it to Kitkat 4.4.4. - Still their is hitting problem while charging, also while accessing applications like whatsapp, fb, internet, etc, you can't hold for long in your hand because hitting problem. i am going to visit sony service center. i believe, there is hardware issue. -13 Megapixel camera is good but not upto the mark of Sony standards. it could have been much much better. Low light images not that good. Once you zoom the camera, quality gets deteriorated. - Front VGA camera is ok. you can't expect great quality from VGA camera. -return, home & running apps button on screen seems to be annoying & these buttons on screen have reduced size of screen display. I like phone design, quality, look & feel.I am Sony brand customer having almost all sony electronics equipment at my home. SONY MAKE.BELIVE :)

I tried updating it to this ver. from PC Companion and got an installation error. I had to disconnect it from PC, cuz trying again didn't work. When i turned on my phone, after SONY logo came a black screen with white letters telling me something about reinstalling the system, or something like that. I freaked out. Went Google-ing and remembered i could try with Sony Update Center. I updated it successfuly

  • How is the baterry life of xperia zr after updating it to 4.4.2 kitkat? Please make a reply, thanks :)

  • If you updated OTA then consider software change in service centre

  • Turn on stamina mode, and set the white list application that u want it active when the screen is locked, if it's Google play services using the battery more than 60 percent(especially in kit kat) then download application helping to save battery like battery doctor and set kill apps on, and also prepare a white list

  • Check in power management, battery usage, if it's Google play services then wait for 3-4 days, it's may be due to backuping ur phone to online account, if u r using it in kit kat 4.4.2 then battery backup is less than in jellybean 4.3

  • There is no problem, Snapdragon processors whether it is 1GHz single core or latest one, processes are always active, so battery is used. For example at Mediatek CPU everything is in stand-by exept phone and messaging application (they have exeptions to be turned off by Android and root task manager) so battery doesn't juice off, but cpu performance is more suitable for non-advanced users (eg. most MTK quad core are powerful as Snapdragon 200 dual core).

  • turn off the packet data when not needed and go to mobile networks and set it to gsm only or wcdma only...

  • Bought ZR 7 days back and charged the phone to 100 % and after 9 hours battery drops down to 83 % just by keeping mobile idle for 9 hours with net on.....is battery performance is ok..or is there any problem

  • Yes, also had the same problems with the waterproof ZR.....now my camera is not functional

  • Sorry, didn't read comments below...

  • My ZR has a 4.4.2 KitKat.

  • i m nt getting xperia zr in any centres.....!....is production stopped r what

  • I got a Japan carrier version of this phone in this month, Xperia A SO-04E. It's 4.2.2 Jelly Bean OS interface nearly perfect. Especially close all app history button to release memory, two rows of quick setup icons. The Xperia ZR (International version)/ Xperia A (Japan version) is the successor of Xperia Acro S by Sony Ericsson. They both located camera on the center-top of blackface, and comes with mechanical shutter button to reduce hand shakings, it's the ideal design for photography lovers. The Xperia ZR market totally opposite to Xperia A, the A version you would got 32GB internal storage and no reddish tint photos output from the same camera sensor. Seriously, their successor - Xperia Z1 compact, it's a totally degraded product to sacrifice display size and storage capacity. Mad Sony.

  • what OS version has your device?

  • Sony ZR has a heating problem as soon as you update the phone it gets real hot an battery drains very fast

  • mmm.. my friend had the problem and they replaced it for free in Chennai and now it's awesome for him... he also took it underwater. u can gtry squeezing the phone near the NFC logo. many people said that was a temporary solution and since you have no warranty, you can reflash the firmware and see if it's working

  • bro i have same bluetooth problem

But it cannot be repair now also same thing only software is updated and all times hanging 10 times swiched on or off. And my warinty has been also ended what to do please help me. jitendra Kumar Singh 9485021238.

  • Used it for about 8 months already. Love the phone in all aspect. Just one downer is, the water resistant nature of the phone... it can only withstand splash and stuff. not an actual dip. Mine took a dip for about 5mins (less than 1 meter) and even with all ports sealed, got water inside camera lens and underneath the screen.

  • Dears, is anyone try to take a snapshot under water or it just can record video only, and is it must to start video before going under water or u can start it under water

  • sony xperia ZR or Z1 plz tell me which phone is better

  • Xperia Z1c is like a successor of ZR. If you want better viewing angles, better camera, better chipset and better everything, and if your budget accepts it, go for it. Xperia ZR has a 2013 flagship specs, so it's not bad either. It can handle anything now and camera, display are pretty good. So if you want a top notch hardware, go for Z1c, if u want a decent yet fast smartphone that can do anything till date, go for ZR

  • im experiencing that too... is there anyone who can help solve this faulty problems??

  • You think XZR is still better when I will buy it nowadays? Im thinking of XZ1c but the reviews is kinda doubtful compared to XZR.

  • i am planning to buy smart phone. i am confused betwwen htc 616,xperia zr or moto x so say they are gud and some say they are bad. xperia zr not working in water bla bla bla..... please help. orif there is any other phone upto 20k please help..... regrds

  • I am using zr since last 8 months. It is the best smart phone in this budget. Also the kitkat version is too good. It gives me more battery backup,gives new look to album and walkman, it consumes more ram but not more tha 60% so hanging never happens and my camera quality has also increased. So the upgrade is better than older version.

  • Try some third party browsers like dolphin browser from playstore etc..

  • HEY I Have xperia zr and i want to upgrade it to android 4.3 is there any proplem of this virsion of android (4.3) please answer me ^_^

  • My problem with Xperia ZR is that there is no browser and the Google Chrome doesn't access some websites due to lack of certificate

  • Im using the zr from 10 months.. the best mobile ever I had.. Before i was using Nokia N8. Best in all.. Also waterproof handset best..

  • If u buy this phone dont update it to any new version cuz nothing can beat the default version of the phone and most important the ram if u update ur phone the ram will reduce due to update...2gb ram + new update reduce ram = lag sometime...:-D

  • Uninstall that app and download the 10.0.0.28.27 version of fb

  • That's the problem which I am facing also may be the fb app problem

  • mediaserver is draining my battery i even put a .nomedia in internal but it still draining i dont even have a sd card inserted

  • Good day to all. I just want to ask if ZR is still a best option over XZ1c because when I searched the XZ1c reviews it seems to have many problem than XZR? Any opinion on this?

  • No I'm saying "Power management (Stamina mode)" Eco controller it's default app. I can't uninstall that... :(

  • I haven't faced any of those problems and also I've put my ZR face down so many times... Bad luck for you :/

  • All high end phones overheat if you use it under direct sunlight or in a hot environment or etc... The latest fb app has that problem... Uninstall that app and download the 10.0.0.28.27 version of fb

  • Uninstall that app..
