I had nothing to do with the creation of this masterpiece. Just passing on the good news. Thanks goes to shelnutt2 and the gang.

This is only for the OPTIMUS G

Re: New freegee is available for stock JB.

Does the capacitive buttons come on and stay on anytime you touch the screen on the Telus rom? Or does it only come on when you touch the capacitive buttons?

It all depends what you have it set at I have mine set to always stay on
[LG Optimus G (International)] LNJ:
Re: New freegee is available for stock JB.

Can you test at 1.5 secs? I want it to only come on and stay on for the 1.5 seconds after the capacitive keys are touched and not while screen is being touched.

I always have mine set on so I never noticed but you're right it also turns on when you touch the screen.

Thanks. That's dumb. I'll stick to my E977 rom.

[LG Optimus G (International)] skdubg:
yes
[LG Optimus G (International)] puma99dk|:
hmm i still get that "Please Read Carefully" warning, so how big is the changes of successes and failures?
[LG Optimus G (International)] Xinexz:
I'm currently running an E975 10b and rooted.

But is there any purpose in unlocking the boot loader? Since we don't have any custom roms or kernel to flash, are there any benefits for unlocking the boot loader?

Or can we flash roms from AT&T, sprint or the e973 variations?
[LG Optimus G (International)] skdubg:
the target was to unlock the phone.

what you will do with it, its your choice.

and no at&t and sprint can not work!!!

e973 work but without camera

[LG Optimus G (International)] Xinexz:
So I can flash E973 roms and only lose the capability of the camera? Hmmm, sounds fair enoguh, I rarely use the camera anyways!

I'll try to unlock and flash the E973 unofficial AOKP ROM tomorrow. Will report back with results! Thanks guys :laugh:

Sigh.... Unable to deliver...

I'm unable to unlock my boot loader using freegee as (both beta and market apps) say that my software is not supported.. I'm running E97510b Singapore so it should be okay if I recall correctly :confused:

Oh well, I don't mind waiting for the next update. I'm really grateful for what these guys are doing for us so I don't really mind waiting...
[LG Optimus G (International)] skdubg:
are you rooted?

which software number is shown at your phone?

Currently my capacative buttons come on with screen touches as well. I remember I was once able to change the time that they stayed on for, but after 10 minutes of searching I can't find anything on CM10.1 Has this been lost on going from stock to CM10.1?. Also when I installed CM10.1 the Storage area was wiped including the FreeGee back up folder. Will I need it again?

Can someone post the CWM and TWRP files from FreeGee? FreeGee isn't recognizing my Optimus G. Probably because I'm on custom ROM and kernel.

Both Market version and the beta version posted in this thread doesn't work, saying it can't identify my Optimus G.
[Xperia Z General] Liam0100:
The first thing that lured me into buying the Xperia Z is now the reason I want rid of the phone.. The flaps are driving me mad and the poor call quality in crowded places and rubbish speaker is useless, I can't hear anyone on the phone if I'm outdoors, the fact is; the One thing I needed and expected the phone to do was be able to make a call and hear the person I'm speaking too..

It's a good phone, but between the call problems, the battery over heating and those awful flaps it's a bit of a nightmare. It's only been 1 month, but thank goodness I'm only on a 12 month contract.. If this is the "best of Sony in a smartphone" then god help them.
[Xperia Z General] graffus:
buy an headset :good:
[Xperia Z General] mcjordan92:
thanks for posting that out, I'm about to buy this phone and you really made me think this through..

If any body else has some opinions on the subject, please do share!
[Xperia Z General] biffsmash:
I find the earpiece volume and clarity to be absolutely fine and can hear people even in the most loud of situations including roadworks outside where I work. Stop dunking it and try another providers SIM card as some are quieter than others.

Also edit the sound settings under phone and you can make it even clearer.

Bluetooth is the way to go-to avoid the flaps although I have no issues with them
[Xperia Z General] robogo1982:
I think it's worth it.

Hell, it's raining right now while I'm typing this. And the phone is perfectly fine :)
[Xperia Z General] shidahmid:
as much as it saddens me to say this but i agree also. beautiful phone in terms of looks but way too many cons. poor wifi poor call quality and web experience is big no no. now just have to decide between htc one or galaxy s4
[Xperia Z General] babylonbwoy:
Clear Phase isn't supposed to lower ambiant noise while using the phone call ? I have no problem with my XZ when making phone calls.

And they gave a good headset with it...
[Xperia Z General] decentgi:
no disrespect intended but your mad i have to turn the volume down just so the person next to me hears my private phone call. i really have no problem with it and was afraid of the call quality before i bought it becasue of the forums complaining but honestly my ear volume is turned half way down.

I do agree with most of the people on here about the speaker its a little low but im i just bought bluetooth speakers and run it through that phone is really good imho it beats any other phone out there in design alone, i know if i bought the samsung galaxy s 4 i would never be as happy as what i am with the xperia z but thats just me.

i hate rounded curves and the look of samsung galazy series just dosnt do it for me at all im still in awe when i see my xperia z on the coffee table the way it sits there its amazing i know i will never get sick of it.

to the people who are wanting to buy the phone but who are afraid because of a few negative reviews and a few trolls dont be afraid you will love it

"once you go xperia you will never want anything inferior" and all the cores in the world couldnt do s h i t if the phone doesnt look the part
[Xperia Z General] T.I.T.O:
If you have to decide between HTC One and galaxy S4 that means you still didn't buy XZ. How can you give a review if you didn't try it lol

It's plenty loud for me too. Maybe the omni balance design of the phone has confused some users and they are talking on the phone the wrong way around? :cyclops:
[Xperia Z General] shidahmid:
lol people are so sensitive on here its as if im critisizing there mums.
[Xperia Z General] Kermit33:
I have no problem hearing my calls even at outdoor. The flaps are driving you mad? You should have known XZ is waterproof thus there are flaps or tried it out before you bought it:! In fact I like those flaps, they make the phone look nice and clean instead of holes all around.
[Xperia Z General] thegregulator:
Obviously you didn't read his sig..

To the OP, my Z is fine for phone calls. Doesn't seem to be any different from any other phones I've had in the past. I agree the ports are slightly annoying but I also have the charging dock and bluetooth earphones, so I actually never have to open them again.
[Xperia Z General] Mythusme:
Realy loved the phone including all the flaps. (even considering buying another one but waiting another flgship from sony)

Some issues with the display but has been fixed by white balance app,

now it just the placement of the loudspeaker & the quality of sound coming from it making me a little bit disappointed even tho sony is an expert in speaker n sound.
[Xperia Z General] nazrin313:
Flash pureXaudio 7.5 and thou shall be saved
[Xperia Z General] Pietroni:
Waterproof!

I rather want a waterproof phone than one that sees where my eyes sees! But thats my oppinion. I think SXZ is totally EPIC. Cant wait for the summer!

[Xperia Z General] mtechfan:
I don't agree with OP. :p

Phone volume is just fine, sometimes I use headsets. Also have a charging dock.

Flaps don't bother me one bit and the phone looks so sleek with them.
[Xperia Z General] nickandre21:
to get anything good you need to sacrifice something, For me extra care with flaps is what i dont mind. now i dont have to bother taking care of my phone in the heavy rains in india. Call volume is good for me, loudspeaker volume maybe less, but i only use loudspeaker for my wake up alarms and it does the job well. so i have no complains other then the lagging camera.
[Xperia Z General] searley:
I find the flaps annoying so have a charging dock as a result it's rare that I need to open flaps

I do however find call quality perfectly fine and even the load speaker is ok for a phone
[Xperia Z General] Akiainavas:
Thanks for your insightful comments... we already know that Xperia Z has a screen you can't watch anything on, it can't display colours, you can't make phonecalls and overall it's not even a phone because it's so terrible, there's no need to open another thread to inform us all about it - again :silly:
[Xperia Z General] mathen:
I agree with you ! I too have noticed the stupid low volume while making a call and the overheating issue:(
[Xperia Z General] OsiBasi:
No offence but, are you deaf? I get calls being in clubs, in the city etc. (daily). And I haven't had a problem hearing, coming from an s2 the sound is about the same.

But yeah the phone gets pretty warm. It's not too bad but gets anoying when after 50 minutes of watching an episode of walking dead :P The Arc S I owned used to get very warm for 2 months then it just stopped. So I think its something with the system settling in.

Try underclocking the device if you think its unbearable.
[Xperia Z General] Lyechee:
The phone is shown as no-standing hot water, what's about cold water?
[Xperia Z General] steelmm:
You must have a faulty phone my speakers are loud and the reception is the best out there
[Xperia Z General] Supersaiyan.IV:
This phone is great, especially now that we can literally say 'Have you tried shoving your phone up your anus?' all while quoting IP55 & IP57 ratings.

Which brings us to the people saying 5" is too big for a phone.

Seriously, Xperia Z is the only phone capable of this. Moments like that are not something money can buy. Oh, and you can enable HDR video if you feel like it.
[Xperia Z General] keyz86:
Maybe my review might help anyone on the fence about getting or selling the Xperia Z. Like most others here I also have no problems with call volume or quality. The phone is great as a phone!

I can understand some people may find the flaps annoying but it's a very small price to pay for the waterproofing and there are many ways around them, charging dock, Bluetooth headphones, etc.

Here's my review... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2213151
[Xperia Z General] lilstevie:
I've had no problem with the Z, the screen is fine as long as you aren't looking at it 30-35degrees from the normal, which isn't a problem cause as a normal person I tend to look at my phone straight on, I tend to get privacy screens for my devices anyway which restrict viewing angles intentionally.

Call volume has been fantastic, it is much louder and clearer than my Xperia T and my Lumia 800.

Flaps do not bother me, I tend to use BT for audio and handsfree, and I charge on the charging dock, I've probably opened the flaps 10-15 times in the few weeks that I have had the device, and that has mainly been from curiosity, making sure the water sensors haven't been activated, once for root, once to see what the audio quality is like, once to insert my sim, and maybe 2-3 times for some dev work
[Xperia Z General] Nepythys:
To all of you worrying about the flaps wearing off

I've had my Xperia S for almost a year now. It has a flap on the hdmi port and another one on the usb port. I've been opening them at least once a day since I got it and they're as new as ever. The Z's flaps seemed to be way better and stronger when I tried it in person.
[Xperia Z General] roobeyn:
If it wasn't for the waterproofing I would now wait for my xperia z sent into service, the call quality is the best I have ever had, I think the OP is just a trolling fanboy of some other manufacturer -.-

Sv: The sacrifices of water-proofing not worth it.

While I do see your points, they're not deal-breaking for me. It's the best phone I've owned.
[Xperia Z General] decadan1977:
Phone was out with me on a mountain bike run on my local trails. Took it from pocket to check my distance traveled on a sports app I was using. And I sorta slipped and the Z fell from my hand. Straight into a muddy puddle.... Thank God for them flaps.
[Xperia Z General] asadkhanduhh:
original poster,

is the purpose of your post like to try, & convince others of your sentiment?

i enjoy the water proofing my xperia offers z very much, & i feel that it (water proofing) is 'worth it'.

the ability to 'rinse' your handset beneath a flow of hot waters, to me, is a convenience, & 'cool'(idk what that means).

a) the flaps, for my consideration, are not an issue, & they certainly are not 'driving me mad' b) my call quality has been on par with what i expect. c) the loud speaker (i think so this is what you are refercing when you mention has been fine for me, as i usually just use it when i am @ home, or a intimate environment with not too much noise around, & have enough space to not offend any one other with any music, or personal conversation.

with that said, i am willing to suggest that a majority of us(i hope so i am correct with my suggestion) purchased the phone in part due to its appearance. i like the way this handset looks; it seems to be my preference.

i hope so that you re-consider wanting to 'rid' the phone. i could have purchased any handset on the market, & any other one which is expected to be on the market soon, & i am confirmed with my choice to purchase sony.
[Xperia Z General] RoChinu:
I haven't tried inside a club yet but so far all my calls have been clear and loud enough. I don't have the volume maxed out yet. Speaker is something even Sony lovers can't deny, they are terrible, yes. But hey, buying the new Sony NFC speakers soon when it will be rreleased in my country. =D

the misses and i were having a little xxx time in the spa and let me tell you without getting to graphic fiming underwater action works a treat,

i have to hand it to sony it has added a little extra spice to my love life thanks sony..

i bet if sony didnt attatch those flaps to the phone the op would have complained about that for sure and made some silly remark lol
[Xperia Z General] xcmike:
Your title did mention it's a "sacrifice".

So your choices are:

a water damaged phone when you drop your phone into a puddle/toilet/pond without those annoying flaps.

or

a phone with a few flaps that will survive a drop into a puddle/toilet/pond.

At any given day i would choose the latter without hesitation as it suits me. If you don't like the flaps go ahead and get another phone and have fun keeping it away from liquids.

as for the speaker, it's too freaking loud for me. ;)

[Xperia Z General] iDroid8:
For me the flaps are fine, easy to use even with a case, makes it easy to clean, call quality is fine. I always have headphones around my neck, and plug them in if need be or have it in constantly, and almost never use the speakers anyway.

Water proofing definitely worth it.

I clean my phone with water on a regular basis. It gets dirty easily especially from the glass panels.

Hate to see how dirty the Nexus 4 gets and they have a hard time keeping it clean.
