Hi there, since yesterday was my birthday, I decided to get a QX-10 as a gift: I was perplexed at first, but now that Sony decided to give us a proper case/adapter, I went for it.
But, the only news I can find is the one saying that it was announced.
Has anybody any guess on when it will be available?
Sent from my C6833 using Tapatalk
Supposedly end of Jan but don't quote me on it. Only announced for Hong Kong so will have to be an ebay jobbie.
I am looking around as well.

Well, I actually ordered the QX10 just because they announced this case, they better release it in Europe and US too... but hey, I may import it as long as it costs more or less the same...
20/30 euros are fine, 50/60 are NOT.

My QX10 is finally here, and I'm impressed with the overall quality.
But, there is no freaking way of attaching it on the Ultra.
I'm thinking now of getting some double sided tape on a case and attach the included adapter to it and see if it actually works...
I don't want to get a Z case just to cut the edges off (also because my wife has a Z, so it would be handy anyway)...

I swear if it happens I will take the next flight for Bergen to say hello.
And then I'll smash your Ultra into tiny pieces.
And then I'll say goodbye and take the next flight home.
Or maybe not.

for video you have to connect the qx to pc.
the qx must be power on, if is of it will be only charge.
better if you have installed play memories home so the software will automaticly detect the camera and will open the windows for save foto e video

Cool mod, but I was planning on keeping the adapter as my wife has a Z... Plus everytime I take it out of the pocket every colleague/friend wants to try it out...
I'm surprised there aren't cheap knock offs at this point...

I waited to unlock the bootloader just for a thing like this, and now I'm so getting used to stock and am so comfy with it that the sole thought of zeroing all the data to begin from scratch is making me shiver.
I know I'll do it, but now it's not the time yet.
I have my TA backup from .532 ready, and at the moment I don't even feel the need of being rooted, but I know the time will come.

Little update: sick of waiting on Sony to give us a proper release date (they never do), I decided to get my just replaced case, the original clip and some adhesive strips i had lying around.
I simply attached two of them on the clip, attached the clip onto the case, and that's it, solved once and for all.
Every single strip can hold up to 2 kilograms, so I think 4 kilos will be enough for the lens...
And as a bonus they are detachable (you have to rotate applying a certain amount of force, or better yet going under it with a sharp object or a credit card etc), so they won't ruin the original clip.
Now when a colleague or a friend asks to try it I'll reply... go get yourself one, you cheap bastard!

This is gonna be a very profitable accessory I can tell already. People stuck with low internal storage capacities need a need a compact product like this to meet their storage needs. The design is quite suave as well which is a plus. I'll look out for it, hopefully the price point is acceptable.
I backed this as well, looking forward to receiving it. Should be perfect for heavy media use.

Should have been one whole piece of rubber or whatever they used for the hinge.
The issue (for me at least) was the rubber peeled off the plastic cover. I used a drop of super glue to reattach it. It's been 7 months and I've had zero problems with it. I think the phone looks butt ugly without the cover, so I'm doing everything I can to keep it.

Most of you know me, or have seen me around.... so are probably aware of my, 8 week cold turkey stint without my Ultra.
Reason being: There was a small repair needed.
... However today I took my family on a small tramp, in the sun, to a water hole for a swim..
I was taking some picture with my Ultra, and the screen started flickering... so i powered it off and then back on... 'black screen'
Everything was still working, but black screen. (obviously can't see anything) Went to do a hard power off, by holding the red button, and hmmm whats that. the white humidity paper is red. **crap!** the lens on both the front and back have fog all over them. No I've never even taken my device underwater, it may have received a few splash's today, but caps are always closed... and they were today.
conclusion:
The last repair was completed, and the device was not sealed properly...
So... awaiting a response to my rather lengthy email... (very polite) and will see what the company say whom i bought it from.
They are based in Hong Kong, and it cost me $120 NZD to send it there and back... (I had to pay both freight costs)
SO.... there you go. fricken awesome! My device is dead again!
Oh god no.. I don't know what to say. The typical thing now is that you'll ship it away (again) and we'll receive 4.4 the day after. Just watch it happen.
hey lord I send you a private message. nothing important but. i'm going off topic but can you tell me or any body knows how to make the screen home page larger or to expend once the DPI has downsize to 280 DPI
In the imortial words of Toyta: Bugger
Oh man that sucks. Maybe you could buy a new one and when this one finished, you just have to sell it?

I've used it in the rain, before I had the initial repair. worked fine, the humidity paper was still white. BUt the last repair company was complete rubbish. Was not my call as it was shipped to Hong Kong (where i purchased it) and they had it repaired.
So if your device is new, and not been opened then you're safe.

Pretty much this. Note 3 if you want the S-Pen or the Ultra if you want the "waterproofness" (funny looking word, but it is indeed a word ) and build quality.
Build quality is better on xzu battery isn't bad. But no flash. And not sure if note 3 has ir blaster but xzu doesn't which is annoying.
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk
I just sold my Note 3 to get the Ultra last week. For indoor use, the Note 3 camera kinda sucks. Battery life is so-so, only lasts about a day. Build quality on Note 3 feels cheap compared to Ultra. I was never in love with Note 3, it's really just the same old plastic Samsung phone with Touchwiz.
If you have 2 hours, you can see the videos from Erica Griffin. She goes into everyday usage of both phones. In the end she moved from the Ultra to the Note 3. Here are the links:

Well considering her size...even the Note 3 could feel way big huge for her.

It's her preferences ofc, plus if you look at her impression about xzu, it is clear that she likes xzu as her daily driver before going with note 3. And plus who doesn't love a new more expensive gadget hey? yeah the note 3 experience is a bit more complete (sans the real estate of the screen that xzu offered which she like the most about xzu) but that doesn't mean that xzu is a loser compared to note 3, no, far from it. It's just that they were built for different speciality.
Sent from my C6802 using xda app-developers app
I would change my Ultra for the next ultra and nothing else. Every time I see a Note 3 or someone holding it I can't seem to figure out if it's really a Note 3 or a Note 2 or a GS4. It just seems the same phone with some new tweaks is all.
Don't misunderstand me, I had a GS3 and loved it, and last year you could spot a GS3 right away, people here had an iPhone, or a GS3.
With the Ultra you stand out from the crowd, and not only for the sheer size, but also for everything else.
Somebody might mock you for the lack of flash or for the impossibility of changing batteries, but deep down you see most people love it and envy your big toy.
But, more importantly, it's a fantastic beast, it doesn't do anything slowly, it simply works and the stock ROM is the most beautiful I've ever tried.
My 2 cents.

@LordManhattan I must now confess. I miss my xzu I've been without it since Friday. Sony received it yesterday and a 're supposidly going to check whether my stated problems are covered by warranty. ( I hope they are ) before I sent it I didn't double check boot loader after ta restore. But I think it's quite rare that it would still be unlocked.
Anyway after using my HTC one since I've been without it I've now decided I'm gunna stay with xzu and not get HTC one max. :good:

One tip though. Call them when they're working on it. My service center has anew online log of what they've done, and I also knew which day they were going to work on it, but I didn't call them to say that they had to swap the display, so I'm blaming myself a little. Don't trust them to actually do what they are supposed to do.

@romano Man first of all you are no offence crazy note 3 don't even stand near ultra it's like you are comparing a rolls to a ford ......ford could fool you with some add function's but rolls is rolls.....
@paulotex Oh god Erica do you see her hand's an iphone is bigger for those if you give her an iphone and a nokia 1100 she will jump nokia to fit her size ....... she just foolin around.........
im a very sporty person, what made me get the note is when during the summer i will be jogging alot and riding my bike.. i figured this wouldn't be possible so i got the note 3. However if someone here can convince me that can happen without a problem i may be switching over because i love large screens =)
I've had both and I prefer the xperia ultra. I watch a lot of media on my phone so I went with the bigger screen. Not a fan if touchwiz either having the gpe ROM for the ultra was another reason. The only thing is don't expect to take it to the gym or anything.

Well, I skate a lot as I play hockey and I got a tiny LG Thrill 3D phone (just wanted a $ 50 cheapo) for the Ice Rink because the Ultra is too big but to be honest, even the Note 2 was hard to deal with when skating because I was compromising my crossovers etc since I had the phone in my front pocket.
But is I was jogging or on a bike, I would think it is easier to manage as you got more places where to keep it without thinking that if you slip like on the ice you can destroy it.
Not sure man but I would go back to Xperia in my very biased opinion
Question for those who already own the device!

None here but this unit from Taiwan, not Singapore.

One of that picture is my phone lol
This is a little concerning if I am honest, the 4K video heat thing is a bit obvious though and you should only be taking short videos with it.
Definitely going to be waiting a little while to see how the launch in the uk goes before deciding what I get

I also do not see it as a problem but as normal, since 4K requires more processing power!
Yup its true... I think this problem is in international set. Taiwan uses another model.

I believe that in the next batch already fix the problem!
Are having problems with Dead or stuck pixel?

if that is true, I guess the question is if the next batch is what is currently being shipped around the world? Has the whole of that first batch already gone out to customers???

Hoping my pre-order from Carphone Warehouse next week is from the 'good batch'

Hmm no such problems.
I've gotten two Z1 Compact and both had the gap. One more than other.
I don't know if it is relatively normal or simply a not so good construction by Sony.
Has it been confirmed that the gap compromises the waterproof qualities of the phone or is it just sloppy construction??

I guess it's the construction. But I didn't pay my money for sloppy QC.. My front camera alignment is way off. The hole is nearly touching the glass edge

Mean that these problems are only in units of Taiwan?

Read and understand first before writing something. The phones with problems from Singapore.

Mine have the gap too.
White unit from Taiwan.
Actully, don`t care about the gaps, it`s just not quite exactly glued the glass, need to rotate counterclockwise just a little bit
Much more concerned about single speaker plaiyng when incoming calls
This is a fail of the fails!
This is a little worrying. But as with all new devices, there's release bugs.
Ordering my Z2 (Purple with any luck) in a couple of weeks when we have them available here in Australia. Hopefully the batches coming to us are a little more refined. The single speaker on calls should be a simple software update I would imagine. Same for 4K recording overheating, but hell, the power of such a small camera in a thin device, can't expect to record much more than a few minutes regardless.
Hi guys, I'm set to be going coasteering again soon, if you haven't been, if definitely suggest it! But, back to the point, my girlfriend is leaving soon add I want to get some photos and videos if the experience for memories sake, I know the phone is waterproof, but if I'm jumping off cliffs into the sea, I may drop my phone and then it'll sink and I'm screwed!
So I was just wondering if anyone know of any cases that float or any other way I can keep it from sinking apart from just leaving it at home?
Thanks in advance!

I've never tried coasteering, sounds like fun though!
Not sure about cases, but there are buoyant lanyards available if you do a quick google search for that - might be the right sort of thing for your situation.
Yeah, really good fun!
Ill have a look, I just need it to be secure and float, so that should be cool
Thanks for that!

Obviously a bit late to this thread but when you say jumping into the sea..you know salt water and the z don't mix right?
*bump*
I'm also looking for something similar to the HitCase or LifeProof ones for iPhone (don't want a lanyard version).

Coasteering is so cool. I'm wondering if OP has found a buoyant case for his Z3, haha.
