[Sony Xperia ZL] mrsatan:
I am debating whether i should return my SP and get a ZL. Normally I don't like five inch phones but the ZL is so compact that it wouldn't bother me. I am having a hell of a time deciding. Good thing I have till the end of January. What do you guys think?
[Sony Xperia ZL] sid3091:
Do it. The SP is a nice phone, but the ZL is leagues better in every way. You wont believe how small it really is until you hold it.
[Sony Xperia ZL] themanspirit:
Even though my beloved C6503 is away receiving RMA Support.

Leading me to purchase a C5303 as back-up in the meantime.

I can still thoroughly recommend the ZL over the SP.

If you watch a lot of videos, browse the internet heavily, likewise use messaging heavily, then you'll love the extra real estate, and increased sharpness, that comes with the 5", Full HD, ultra compact ZL.

Not to mention the ZL's noticeable increase in both performance, and internal storage.

The advantage of 5" 1080p over 4.6" 720p may read like hype.

But as you'll find out for yourself, once you've tried it you won't go back.

Especially in such compact form, with higher grade, build quality you'd expect in Sony's early 2013 top tier, that is found in the ZL.

Plus you still get a large, but more stylised notification light.

The only cons I find with the ZL is it does generate a lot of heat when worked hard.

More than the SP.

But then that's understandable considering what's under their respective hoods (Z runs hotter still being front/rear glass?!)

So I wouldn't recommend using a case with it.

The other con is the ZL is not as efficient as SP.

This is reflected in their respective Endurance Test ratings at GSM Arena, and sums up nicely my experience with them both.

Finally, I would only recommend buying a used ZL with at least a six month warranty, or preferably brand new with a twelve month warranty.

As I am not alone in my ZL suffering from SOD/Sleep Of Death late last year.

Other than that I eagerly await the return of my C6503 from RMA Support later this month.

To which I'll be gifting my C5303 to my Mum (Love you Mum!)

Look forward to your impression of ZL over the SP should you make the leap.
[Sony Xperia ZL] mrsatan:
I've had the ZL for about a week now and I am pretty impressed with it. The size of the phone considering the screen size is amazing. It is a solid feeling phone and the red one I bought looks great. The battery life isn't too great compared to SP but that is to be expected. I downclocked it a bit so it does better and doesnt get as hot. The screen is miles better than the SP and the extra internal memory is nice. I did like the fact that the SP didn't have the stupid shatterproof sheet on it and it was advertised as gorilla glass. I also wish the IR blaster was on the top so I could hold it like a remote. I would have taken having the charging pins instead of the IR blaster. Still it is a good phone and probably the best designed five inch phone ever. I would have waited and gotten the Z1 compact but it's just too small for me now. 4.6 is perfect but 5 inch is great if the size is that of the ZL.

The vibration on the ZL is really weird compared to the SP. Its very strong, not sure if that is bad or good. The camera is soooo much better though.
[Sony Xperia ZL] themanspirit:
Glad to read you are enjoying ZL.

Having sent mine in for RMA Support last month.

And since, been using first C6603, followed by now C5303.

Its highlighted to me just how superior the ZL is to these two more popular and widely available models.

IMHO Sony made a major mistake not to release the ZL in the same markets globally as Z.

As for the ZL's very strong vibration.

Yes, it is far stronger than both Z and SP.

That's been my experience too.

I don't doubt you are also enjoying the ZL's far superior outdoor visibility too.

As the Z, and the SP, displays are really mediocre by comparison when used outdoors in daylight.

I sure do miss ZL's superior loudspeaker performance too.

Particularly when using Navigation incar, or hearing it ring when you are in noisy environments.

So looking forward to the return of my ZL.

And seeing if Sony will release a true successor to the compact, limited market release, ZL.

Ummmm...this "bug" isnt present on my phone...the screen never goes big or small...however with one finger and tapping like normal i get the jellybeans...sounds like you may need a factory reset

Amd yes im on the latest update
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] RockRatt:
Also as you tap the firmware and the big jelly bean comes up just HOLD DOWN on it to get the flying jelly beans that you can flick off the screen. These hidden things have always been there on each android version. They are called "easter eggs" and are for people to find.

Im really sorry if this ins the right place for this question, but i cant find the solution...

I just got a new Galaxy S4 SHG-l337 AT&T ( MF3...) and when i try to use the USB to connect on my computer it gets recognized as a modem. Kies cant find it too... i tryed kies air and i works fine... I tried to unnistal all samsung usb drivers and reinstal it manually from the website, no luck either.

I want to open my S4 as a did to my S2, as a portable device with folders...

What i need to do?

Thanks in advance!

Did you unlock you home screen from you GS4 and tap 'configure' option in the notifications bar?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] MrTesch:
Yes i did unlock the screen, but there was no configure options at my notification bar =/

By the way... im not using a SIM card on the phone yet...

- SAMSUNG Mobile USB Serial Port (COM3)

- SAMSUNG Mobile USB Serial Port (COM4)

Am i missing anything? i tried to install the USB driver manually too... no luck
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] zjhehe:
Not sure which driver you tried to install, but I would probably manual install it even though it was plug and play for me and probably most other GS4 users. I found the Samsung's AT&T page and the driver download link but I can't post links yet because of, well, my post count. If you do a search of "Galaxy S4 SHG-l337 driver", you get a "Support - AT&T...." link (should be first one) that links you to a Samsung.com domain. Go there, scroll down, and hit the "Downloads" tab and install that driver.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] MrTesch:
Thats the driver that i installed manually... Tried again, but nothing yet =/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] zjhehe:
Go to control panel -> programs -> uninstall a program

when the list is displayed, see if something that is called "SAMSUNG USB Driver for Mobile Phones" is installed, if not, then chances are you need that. If it is installed, then see if you can get your hands on another cable, could just be a faulty cable.
[Moto X Q&A] aooga:
This is my 3rd Moto X replacement, but it seems that this one drops signal every 10 minutes or so and doesn't come back till I toggle airplane mode. This, in turn, kills my battery since most of the signal meter in the battery usage is red. Now, I don't have great signal, usually 2 bars on a scale from 0-4 bars, but all my other phones (N4, N5, Htc one) hold signal fine. My htc one isn't even a tmobile phone (my carrier), but it works better than this. (It was unlocked)

I've tried RSD lite, wiping cache, reflashing radios, pretty much everything. This is kind of getting ridiculous. I miss a lot of calls because of this too, and for some reason, they don't get registered as voicemails (maybe a tmo problem, I don't know).

Is anyone else having this problem? I really don't want to replace my phone again since this is the 3rd unit now. The first one randomly rebooted and the second one the headphone jack didn't work. Seriously disappointing build quality from a company that has been known for great cell radios and phones.

[MENTION=3779279]Xatt[/MENTION] - You've helped in the past, any ideas here?
[Moto X Q&A] jmill75:
I would have to say you are in the minority here. Moto makes excellent devices and build quality is certainly there strong point. There next strong point is radios. I haven't had a single issue with the 2 Moto X's that I've had.
[Moto X Q&A] aooga:
Obviously. I'm not saying everyone has the issue. I'm just saying that out of the 3 moto x's I've had, all of them had problems out of the box. I know radios is their strong point, that's why I'm saying why is this happening. I seriously don't want another replacement, but I like the rest of the phone. Its just the actual phone part that doesn't work :silly:
[Moto X Q&A] jmill75:
I would say you are having extremely bad luck man :)

May want to replace to replace the SIM card. They can go bad and cause you problems....
[Moto X Q&A] atoy74:
I agree with jmill. Unlike Nexus devices, Moto radios are usually very good. I've had stronger reception on my X than I had on my Nexus 4, 5 and Galaxy S4.
[Moto X Q&A] aooga:
I've tried that, and actually had to pay $10 for a new sim card.
[Moto X Q&A] linuxgator:
I wonder if you've got some sort of electromagnetic interference going on where you're at and it just happens to affect the Moto X radio.
[Moto X Q&A] aooga:
Even if I do, why do other phones work fine? If all of them were bad, then I would understand.
[Moto X Q&A] aooga:
Bump. Screenshot as well. Anyone have this problem and a fix maybe?

[Moto X General] dweeze87:
Very hard to believe seeing as how Verizon was on it, next day T-Mobile gets updated and where is Sprint at?? The Sprint Galaxy Nexus was updated before any carrier, which was awesome but now the Moto X update to Kit Kat, not a word any where. I so wish my contract with Sprint was up because after being a 16 year Sprint customer, I am ready to jump ship with these fools. The network gets worse and worse everyday, it seems. It should not take this long for our Moto Xs to be updated!
[Moto X General] aooga:
Why are people still on sprint? It's no cheaper than any other carrier, and it has the worst signal. I get if you're stuck in a contract, but there are some that willingly sign a new one with them. :confused:
[Moto X General] Jason.DROID:
Could be Moto holding the update until a bug fixer is available for the rest of us. There are some bugs in Kit Kat that need attention.

[Moto X General] Jason.DROID:
Some people are experiencing hissing noises during calls that seems to only affect Sprint Moto Xs; other carrier Xs don't seem to have the issue and other phones in the same area of service for Sprint also don't exhibit this issue. This could also be a source for the delay.

Sprint has 4.4 for the Moto X is on their servers, it just isn't being pushed yet. There is an issue Ericson is working on that as to do with Samsung equipment not playing nice with the device after the update. (Samsung equipment as in tower equipment from the Network Vision upgrades.) No one has an ETA yet so whatever someone in "management" told you is just making up dates to keep you from calling back continually and killing there CIR stats.

You shouldn't leak stuff about soak tests. The point of soak tests is see of there are problems with the update, and if you leak stuff about it, they release it to the public and the fixing of bugs is slowed down.

[Moto X General] Rashed97:
This is completely off topic and unrelated, but can someone get me a Device ID from a Sprint Moto X?

Instructions:

Put your device in fastboot mode (power off, then press the power and volume down buttons simultaneously).

On your desktop, open a command prompt or terminal, and go to the directory where you installed the Android SDK tools (or make sure fastboot is in your $PATH)

At the prompt, type

$ fastboot oem get_unlock_data

The returned string will be used to retrieve your unlock key.

Example: On a Windows Desktop, the returned string format would be

$ fastboot oem get_unlock_data

(bootloader) 0A40040192024205#4C4D3556313230

(bootloader) 30373731363031303332323239#BD00

(bootloader) 8A672BA4746C2CE02328A2AC0C39F95

(bootloader) 1A3E5#1F53280002000000000000000

(bootloader) 0000000

On a Mac OS Desktop, the returned string format would be

INFO0A40040192024205#4C4D3556313230

INFO30373731363031303332323239#BD00

INFO8A672BA4746C2CE02328A2AC0C39F95

INFO1A3E5#1F53280002000000000000000

INFO0000000

Paste together the 5 lines of output into one continuous string without (bootloader) or ‘INFO’ or white spaces. Your string needs to look like this:

0A40040192024205#4C4D355631323030373731363031303332323239#BD008A672BA4746C2CE02328A2AC0C39F951A3E5#1F532800020000000000000000000000

[Moto X General] bso44:
Isn't an unlock code for one-use only? So if you used his device ID for an unlock code, he wouldn't be able to unlock his own bootloader?

Honest question and not an accusation.
[Moto X General] Rashed97:
I highly doubt it. How can Motorola verify that? You put it in the command prompt as a fastboot command so its never through anything Motorola can check.
[Moto X General] Kittiesoncrack:
