Xperia Z

Hello,

i heard about mobilesquare and kasia as the best place to buy Sony Xperia Z in singapore (any other recommendation?)

i've visited their website, and found "local warranty", "warranty sealed sets", "Warranty sets", etc. what are those warranty mean? and what the different with warranty comes from sony store?

since i am not singaporean, and i am not going to use this XZ in singapore, is it recommended for me to buy from that store, or just buy the XZ from Sony Store?

thanks for your information.. ;)

[Xperia Z General] Rashkae:
Correct, PC Companion update will lose root (but a bro on HWZ said the same root method still works), but OTA usually preserves root.
[Xperia Z General] VTR1000SP:
Sorry Guys false alarm, i manage to root it with new firmware, i think when update using SUS it updated the driver too thats y cant root, reinstall flashtool driver everything works now !

SG user it is safe to update to the new firmware ! :fingers-crossed: now trying cwm seem like theres a little problem. will update again !

File name for the photos

First post here. Formerly using an iPhone and first time using Android phone. You can regard me a a Droid dumb.

I usually take photos and clear my album on the phone and keep all the photos elsewhere. In my iPhone, the file names are always in order ie. 001, 002, 003, 004 even I clear the album, the first file name will start from 005 but for XZ, as soon as I clear the album, the file name reset to 001 again. This is very troublesome as I always need to create folders to store different batch of photos.

Any kind soul for suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
[Xperia Z General] :
Not sure if it'll work for you, but I resolved my LED notifications issues by performing a factory reset, and NOT using the restore function to restore apps and settings to the phone (i.e. you'd have to manually set up the phone again).

Also read somewhere on this forum to not customize the LED color in Whatsapp as that would break the LED notifications again.
[Xperia Z General] xperiax10.awesome:
Yeah, I already tried all these thing - for some ppl it worked but NOT in my case !!

Just waiting till April to see if Sony is gonna release 4.2 or not, if not then anyways I am gonna root my XZ and resolve everything myself :)

[Xperia Z General] pandaball:
I doubt it matters if you use NL firmware, I've been flashing whatever was newest when I had my Arc without really bothering about customisation. AFAIK the main differences are just what kind of bloat you get.

Getting an Xperia Z in May. Can't wait :) heard that all Singtel shops sold out on black version already though. Any idea when the free NFC speaker promotion will end?
[Xperia Z General] apkapkapk:
Their firmware can't be used in SG? :( And how/where do we get the FTF?

EDIT: Oops a few minutes slower. I think the promotions are over. If I'm not wrong they're only valid for the pre-orders or first number of buyers. Someone correct me of I'm wrong :)

I am getting a Xperia Z this weekend.

I was reading up the reviews and heard about the overheat issue. Some to an extend of cracking the screen.

Anyone can advise if this is the case?
[Xperia Z General] anirudhks:
Nope that is not true , no instance has been reported of glass cracking it does get hot but not crazy hot that u cant hold , the glass is tempered and will not crack coz of this heat.. so dont worry

Great! I was thinking so long about getting this!
[Xperia Z General] anthvxne:
I have had my xperia Z for 3weeks now. I was on the phone on Sunday and noticed that my phone was really hot and to a point *burning my face*.

Next thing i hear is "crack". Look at my phone and the screen cracked to atleast half way down the phone.

It has been sent off to sony and waiting to hear whats going to happen.;

---------- Post added at 12:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:40 PM ----------

There has been no impact to this phone.. Screen is smooth, the cracking has happened underneath.

Guys,

Any idea how to unlock the bootloader for the device where the "Bootloader unlock allowed: No"? And what is yours, allowed or not allowed?

http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions

Thanks.
[Xperia Z General] PokerFaze:
Have you tried the instructions from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2153261

Mine has bootloader allowed.

Sent from my Sexy White Xperia Z
[Xperia Z General] vibranze:
Thanks, I was following that thread actually and it stated :

And mine is not allowed. :(

Where did you buy your phone? Telco or non telco?

Update: Further reading on the thread found that the phone need to be unrooted in order to have the bootloader=allow. I will try that. :)

Cheers.
[Xperia Z General] vibranze:
SingTel lor :)

Based on the thread posted by PokerFace, it said you have to unroot to gain the bootloader=allow. Hmmm.

I'm resetting my phone now and will update here.

Thanks.

Update: Done with the reset, it's weird because some of the mods are still there, e.g. APM, small soft button, ZL WB tweak, etc so I believe it's not fully factory reset, but now the "bootloader unlock allowed" is yes. :)
[Xperia Z General] vibranze:
So, do you guys unlock your bootloader or not? Does missing Bravia Mobile Engine 2 really matters to you? And, if you relock the bootloader, will you get back BME2?

Thanks.
[Xperia Z General] PokerFaze:
I did not unlock mine. Missing Bravia Mobile Engine 2 won't really matter to me? But it does makes images and videos look better. I don't think you will get BME2 back even after relocking. When you unlock the bootloader you lose the DRM keys and these can never be restored after unlocking. These keys are used to make specific functions or features work. After you unlock as these keys are no longer there, so some functions won't work. BME2 is one of them :(
[Xperia Z General] vibranze:
Thanks. Anyway I already unlocked the bootloader and now on customer ROM.

Btw, how do you guys copy file from/to PC/mobile? I found it very slow to copy file from PC to Phone and vice versa using the sony's mounted drive. Is there a mount as USB storage in XZ? I tried to mount from CWM but it seems like not working. :(

I'm coming from HOX and the overall experience is just different.

Cheers.

Bros, check with you guys, how do I know if I am having LTE connection? Is H+ is LTE? Sorry for the very basic question, my first time using Sony's mobile phone and LTE, so a bit blur. :P Thanks.

H+ is HSPDA , LTE is 4G :D BE2 works for videos AFAIK . Unlocked my bootloader already,Starhub set
[Xperia Z General] vibranze:
Thanks bro.

Oh I see, so my LTE's not activated then, will check with SingTel tomorrow.

My bootloader was unlocked as well but reflashed the 434 FTF (not sure if this is the same as relock), now going to unlock again to flash AOSP ROM to get the best of full HD. :)

I just can't stand the default 480 dpi, too wasted for such a big screen and full HD!

Cheers.
[Xperia Z General] Thraxzzz:
Unlocking is permanent,so if you flash a new FTF,it will remain unlocked no matter what ;)
[Xperia Z General] pandaball:
Not really. You can relock it using http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2162907, but DRM and BE2 will still be gone and Sony will still know you unlocked your bootloader :)
[Xperia Z General] Thraxzzz:
I know about that,i meant this :

"My bootloader was unlocked as well but reflashed the 434 FTF (not sure if this is the same as relock), now going to unlock again to flash AOSP ROM to get the best of full HD."

permissions (eg. Root explorer)

Instructions:

1 - With root explorer go to folder /data/

data/ on your phone and find a folder

named "com.whatsapp"

2 - Copy that folder to your sdcard. If

you don't have a sdcard, copy it to your

computer with usb cable

3 - install whatsapp.apk from here . Do

not open it for now

4 - copy the previously prepared

com.whatsapp folder to /data/data/ on

your tablet with root explorer

5 - open whatsapp

6 - you now have a fully working

whatsapp on your tablet!

Downloading now, looking forward to flashing something new. Wookie and NRG, both excellent, I have Nandroids of each. Makes choosing between them difficult.

As for the newer 4.2 ROMS; I'm reluctant to flash (we're fortunate they're available ) until they mature further, and Asus might release their rumoured 4.2 update.

Meanwhile I note there's 11 downloads of your ROM so far, mine makes it 12. Hopefully by the time I report back there'll be 11 other points of view!
