Xperia Tablet Z

For me the perfect tablet would be somewhere between the two of these.

The ipad air is pretty good these days tbh, weight was always one of my problems with the ipads.

I can see why people might not like the look of the note, it's worst aspect aesthetically is the silvery edges... They're just wrong and some people don't like buttons. I think the note will sell a lot of units, although the xperia is a really good tablet I don't think it has sold too well.

Ipad Air is a no go for me due to the low RAM.

It's screen isn't bonded to the glass either.

4.3 available now on SUS WiFi only

Thanks, was waiting for the new update for a wipe and clean install.

How do you do a clean install?

Mujja · 27 Dec 2013 at 21:50

Like a hard reset. Some where in settings will be an option for a factory reset.

Whats SUS ? Also I installed the screen protector above and its fantastic, just like the original (Which saved me a marked screen when I dropped my phone 0.5 metre onto it!)

£280 is a fantastic price for this! (I'm almost a little upset at how much the price has plummeted! and I got it with a 12% employee discount too)

I'm guessing that's the update component of the Sony application installed in Windows. Seem to remember the name when I had an Xperia phone.

Does the screen protector pick up less finger prints?

Buffman · 27 Dec 2013 at 22:23

yeah seems to pick up less fingerprints (just had a look after 2 weeks use), however I never really noticed them that much originally

edit: Updating now from computer software thanks

Factory reset and installed 4.3 using the Sony PC Companion.

Buffman · 9 Jan 2014 at 17:12

Updated mine and it all works fine

Does anyone use nova launcher/customised themes on this and does it work with the double tap touch to turn on the screen? (awesome feature

)

Yes Nova and double tap work together.

Sweet, would you recommend? When I get some time next week I might play around with that.

Yep Nova is my go to launcher on any Android device.

Prime version is a must for me with the extra features.

Here it is running Nova:

~Mike~ · 10 Jan 2014 at 17:03

Might give Nova a try.

Since doing a reset and updating my battery life has improved.

Mujja · 11 Jan 2014 at 15:55

Haven't put Nova back on since the factory reset and update. With Nova you can use the full area on the home screen for edge to edge widgets and icons.

I like the return of the brightness slider which was missing on the last update. The app draw also has some nice features, filter by downloaded apps and uninstall.

I've held off allowing it to update as ive heard stories of screens flashing when typing, any comments?

Mujja · 19 Jan 2014 at 08:59

I was typing a reply to say no flashing issues here but now noticed the screen does flash when using the keyboard

I'm using SwiftKey.

LOAM · 19 Jan 2014 at 10:38

Sorry, I've made you notice it lol

Only in landscape apparently

I have had that happen on a few occasions.
