    Make Combined View the 'default' Email view

    If you're like me, I like to view my emails through a unified inbox. So I was a bit frustrated when my shiny new Xperia Z didn't allow me to set the default view. Well, just discovered a workaround. Whenever you have to close the Email app, never use the Back button. Instead, just press...

    does the Xperia Z shoot video with the flash?

    I can't seem to see any way of enabling the flash before pressing the record button or any in video flash options? Just come from years of using iPhone and this is standard, it would be lame to not have a light whilst recording in low light?
