Hey everyone! Since the Xperia Z hasn't any camera swich like the Xperia ZL or the Xperia Z, I was wondering if it has any quick start mode like an icon on the lockscreen which works when I have a code as unlock method.
Thanks in advance for any replys.

Yep there's a camera icon on the lock screen as well as a music icon. I think you can change these in the options also.

Yeah, I know they are there but I was asking if they are there too if the phone has a code as unlock method, because usually all quick start icons dissapear on Android when a code is selected as unlock method. I had the Xperia S with a camera switch which worked to take photos even if the phone had a code as unlock method.
As far as I can tell the pin unlock, face recognition and the pattern unlock are all google lockscreens hence you won't see any customizations on them. As a matter of fact on HTC phones when you select any of the 3 you would end up having 2 lockscreens to unlock. 1 is the sense lockscreen and next would be the one you've selected( pin unlock, face recognition or pattern unlock)

I think it is a good feature because say for example your watching a movie on your phone and you see a funny face or a nice car or whatever. You can take a pic/screenshot of it. I know you can do it on HTC One s/x, GN2 and now S3 since update to 4.1.2

Isn't that the "stock android" way of taking screenshots since 4.0 ? I think it's present in most 4.0+ phones, even with TouchWiz.
So sad that there is no Camera button .. but anyway its a really nice smartphone in my opinion..

Are you using lockscreen replacement app like widgetlocker or lockerpro? I too ha've noticed similar problem esp when I am using 3rd party apps.
The screen wakeup is worse if you are trying to turn it on with in few seconds of pressing power bbutton. Coming from iPhone I found that super annoying

I have noticed that my sleep/wake time increased after updating to .253.
It is most likely due to the phone being in deep sleep which is a good thing. Less battery waste.

I made this post to let everyone share his impression about the long waited android 4.3 To our beloved phones T/TX/V
share your thoughts =)
and Gratz lets w8 for our last hope the Kitkat =D
Update
after flashing the usa FTF i just used my mobile for 10mins and seriously i got a new mobile now! nicely done by Sony
Smooth and Graphic is eye blessing just gotta w8 till get rooted and get the smaller navigation bar cuz this one is kinda too big
i love the call animation too It`s a new phone now =) Gratz to everyone
Tx Owner
First we won't get kitkat and in March our 18 months are over and Sony has yet made it to get itself out of having to give us kitkat...
Now 4.3. I don't know I expected more. SP got the gloves mode for example and I don't know whether it is just the Vodafone version why aren't we getting an update center?
The cam looks good but lacks of functionality, for example the tap to focus and make picture is gone and the auto mode being chosen every time I open the app is not really optimal.
The lockscreen is a bit rudimentary but we all knew that before yes we got widgets but honestly what do they offer if I have to watch out not opening Walkman or when swiping left and right. Better optional app buttons and to have them on the lower screen half.
Then the Docomo status bar better than what we had before but definitely many steps behind other uis in that case.
Worst for me is that the buttons for navigation are almost third of the screen... Would it kill Sony to make that customizable?
My main parts I'm not yet updating and waiting for the modders to do their best
My Impression
It snappy ,looks nice ram usages is poor I don't know about battery life yet , sound quality seems to be enhanced :louder ,deeper bass, higher treble all round improvement P.S. for those who don't know first start up will be a tad laggy
Rep
It feels much faster than 4.1.2. I love the lockscreen and the design

Stamina mode and camera
- Stamina mode looks like its 2 versions back. It lacks of customization which is in SP and Z series. Besides the (inaccurate) timer there is nothing new. That mode was previously in 4.1.2 just now it looks better.
- Camera - first impression is that it makes better pictures in low light conditions but I cant find settings in menu for resolution and quality - itll be nice if someone tell me where it is.

I passionately hate the current Xperia lock screen. While I like using other lockscreens, sometimes the default lock screen over-rides it anyway, I think when memory is low. I know I can use a pin, pattern, etc, but I want to be able to look at my phone for a very few short seconds without all the fiddling. Worst Xperia lock screen yet. Even the X10 lock screen was better.

i see a few bugs
First of all, what happened to the stock browser. is it android policy to pass to chrome in 4.3? I dont know about you, bt i dont feel any butter maybe the firmware still needs to get the hang of the device, vut for the moment it feels a bit laggy. Most important: What the hell happened to the volume bar?! i press the volume keys and ony a small grey rectengle appears, no indicator of volume level, i can hear the beeps increassing volume but i dont see it, and if you are in an app like RR3 it doesnt work! anybody had the same problem?

There's no option for it as of right now. Also the photos look a little worse than the stock camera app when I compared them. The app has potential if you can edit the photos saved as a RAW format.

I see by the pics that there are a number of options that end in x60. Is that frame rate? What do the videos look like when you use those? The assumption is that the playback is still going to do 30 fps and if shot at 60fps then the playback would be slo-mo.
Also what are the grayed out options and the blue options, if you know?

The options he gave are still helpful for now though, as not only can you enable the rear flash, but the front screen to flash yellow when you receive a message. It's something at least for now.

I'm from the UK and purchased from Vodafone, I checked for updates and an update popped up it was around 400mb, I updated hoping this was the one. But still no circle of light notification.

An update got pushed to my S10e just a bit ago. Might be the one you wanted?
Circle of Light does not exist. The only thing that exist is the possibility as this is the actual screen and not any special hardware. The same edge lighting like concept can be used to illuminate pixels around the camera. If samsung does not do something, let them release the source and give us access to api's. we can do it ourselves. We just need to modify the edge lighting feature to shrink it to camera cutout and increase timings etc. I am feeling so lost without the notification LED. My pre order does not have a cancellation option. If I had I would have cancelled.
Will the ring light has potential burn in risk?
Should be. If you closely take a look at the camera cutout and the front camera animation, you'd see it's a part of the actual screen. So, It have amoled burn in risk unless or if samsung can access the pixels through hardware directly without actually turning on the whole screen.
