suggestions on where to buy these magnetic chargers? (apart from Orange?)

I bought the adapter, not the charger. So that I can pull it out of my wall charger and plug it into my car charger if I need to. The magnetic charger limits you to using a wall socket.

Got this one from these guys: http://www.bidorbuy.co.za/item/1845..._Z3_Compact_Magnetic_Charging_Adapter_fo.html

I've lost two battery flaps, if we can put together a list of spares that people need maybe we can do an order and split the shipping

This includes back covers (easy to replace)

So i received 2 of my orders from aliexpress.

Back battery cover, the orange differs a lot from the original, bloody chinese knockoffs haha, but for $5 i kinda knew what i was expecting.. might not even bother putting it on unless my batter cover shatters completely... currently my case covers it up so not a big deal. Took 14 days to arrive with free shipping

Got this today: http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/6714238733.html?orderId=67621823133475
Very very happy with it. SOoooooo much better than the ****ty plastic protector it came with. Feel is good, touch is perfect, no bubbles. took 18 days to arrive with free shipping

now just waiting for my charger flap.

14 days to come to SA? I ordered a dock in January that had free shipping, gave up hope by April... It arrived in the post box on Monday

Hi guys,

recently my Z3c has been behaving a bit erratically - restarting on its own, screen half-frozen, etc.

I'm running the Nordic software, anybody else having these issues? Any suggestions on how to resolve this?


Just look at the number of app incidents (which usually result in the phone restarting on its own):

So after I broke my big Z3 and the insurance paid I decided to get myself one of these.

Specifically:

And a few accessories:

The Xperia Z3 compact is only available at MTN with the mtnchoice100 at R369.

I don't to spend that much a month.

The Xperia Z2 on the mtnchoice 50 package is R269.

Firstly, do you think that they might also offer me the Z3c on the mtnchoice 50 package?

Secondly, which one would you recommend. I'm looking for a good camera and comfortable use in one hand.

They have a lot of deals not in the Book. Just walk into a store and ask. Or call a store.

It depends on the size screen you want. if you want a big screen take the Z2, if you want a small screen, take the Z3Compact.

I must say after the Z3 I was actually horrid at how small the Z3Compact is. I think I am getting used to it though. It feels great in the hand.

What phone are you using now? That will help with the decision.

I'm already more than a year over my previous contract ... HTC Desire S.

And to complicate things a little more ....

If I threw the option of the Samsung Galaxy A5 with the other two, which would you recommend:

Xperia Z2
Xperia Z3 compact
Galaxy A5

Actually I would like the compactness of the Z3c but if the Z2's camera is MUCH better then I might lean towards the Z2.

The A5 I don't know a lot about. Yes, I've compared the specs, but I would like some experienced feed back.

In that case. Just get the Z3 Compact. You will be amazed.

So I broke my phone's screen.

Where's the cheapest place to get it repaired?
