[Xperia Z1 General] saleh9416:
I bought my Z1 about 2 months ago and I'm very satisfied with it, So no I won't go for Z2 :)
[Xperia Z1 General] Najika:
I'll definitely go to xperia Z2,finally sony begin to use better display panels,that's the main reason for me,IPS.love that
[Xperia Z1 General] Genius319:
I think Sony Xperia Z2 is not a major upgrade, so I think that while I would stay at Z1. To be honest, I expected more.
[Xperia Z1 General] mdfine:
Pre ordered today @ amazon.de cause I want this new display !
[Xperia Z1 General] Mazellat:
Yes, I sold my Xperia Z1 and I am waiting to buy Xperia Z2.
[Xperia Z1 General] ikkeeuu:
for how much are you guys selling your xperia z1? price dropped really quick! i bought mine for 500.. i was hoping to sell it for 450, but i think that is impossible
[Xperia Z1 General] mohammed shhoat:
hell no i have 3 xperia phones ( don't have time to sell them :rolleyes: )

xperia ion , z , z1

and xperia phones always the last device to get update ( compered to s4 and htc one )

so my new phone is going to be the new htc one (m8) if it has a good camera :)
[Xperia Z1 General] hegemytouch:
I just bought the z1s and most likely will not be upgrading to z2...z2 is a sweet phone though.
[Xperia Z1 General] marc_ecko28:
No...

Still satisfied on my Z1...
[Xperia Z1 General] Destroyedbeauty:
No, I will sit this coming beast out.

Better to tweak / hack / modify the hardware calculations of the Z1, and save some money, and still get the same performance increase as an untouched and pure stock Z2..
[Xperia Z1 General] metroplis:
No, i won't. Because it will have Z3 Z4....ZZ, endless loop.
[Xperia Z1 General] MON5TER:
no no no no no i will not upgrade to the z2,

i think it is not leaps and bounds better,

just give the z1 a few tweaks oc ect and port over some apps 4k vid ect

use a spiegen glastr slim glash screen protector for the glass screen

then all you have is an ips screen, abd im happy with mine

i really think its a better idea to wait out till a z3 because the z1 is still a beast
[Xperia Z1 General] bettencourt90:
Yes i will if i have z1

O.o

sent from my motorola t190
[Xperia Z1 General] dagrim1:
Depends on what I can buy the Z2 for and for what I can sell my Z1 but surely is an option... If the difference is about a 100 or 200 euros I'd consider it (think I'd like the new screen, noise cancelling headphones, there are a few points).
[Xperia Z1 General] ermond012:
Hahaha, nice one. :D
[Xperia Z1 General] benziii:
As someone mentioned, I also actually find the Z1 nicer looking than the Z2.

Anyway, I had the Z for five months before jumping to Z1.

Going on five months with the Z1 now aswell, but will wait it out til the end of the year this time.

Samsung S3 to a Sony Xperia 2

Hi everyone,

Nice to see this forum so active. I am coming from an S3 and really like the Z2. I saw where the Z1 didn't have root yet. I have been flashing for about 4 years now and would like the Z2. Do you think we will have root for these phones. I never owned anything besides Samsung and was always about to root and flash without issues, they have a lot of development. Does the Z1 have the roms and development ? Thanks for anyone who replies and hope to be on a Z2 when it comes out in the US.

Thanks
[Xperia Z1 General] vhl71:
I'm the same as you. Moved from S3 to Z1 and love it..its the best phone i've had (I had all iphones for 5 years including 5S!!)

Great build quality and i love the sony UI with minimal bloatware..can't wait for Z2 here in canada..its not even mentioned in canadian stores yet..so it might take a while before we get it here.:(
[Xperia Z1 General] FranzDages:
I've got the Z1. I'm still stock, but if I'm not mistaken the Z1 does have root. It is the US T-Mobile version, the Z1S, that does not have root. While I've rooted various phones in the past, the international Z! version doesn't have enough bloatware installed that I've worried about it yet. I generally don't worry about rooting unless there is crap I can't do, or can't get rid of, without doing so.
[Xperia Z1 General] louvass:
Yea shame looks like it's not gonna be a Z2 BB don't carry it and would have to buy it from Sony at no discount... oh well it looks like a top of the line phone
[Xperia Z1 General] Jdom58:
I have a couple of jumps left with TMobile so yeah it's the Z2 or HTC One M8. Both are reported equal in specs except for the camera so I'll have to check them both out.
[Xperia Z1 General] augie7107:
Just came back to Sony after a year break after six years of only Sony. Picked up C6906 unlocked and sticking with it for now. May get a Z2 when the initial sticker shock subsides
[Xperia Z1 General] E!ch0:
Of course i alreay did.

The Z2 is perfect phone without any cons, just think about it , the screen, the ram, the great speakers, the size..

If ill buy this device i will not need to upgrade for atleast couple of years.

So yea i sold the Z1 (also the touch issues drived me crazy)

and now savin some extra money for the perfect Z2! ;)
[Xperia Z1 General] negrobembon:
Did the person you sold the phone to know that your device had touch issues?
[Xperia Z1 General] E!ch0:
[MENTION=4176845]negrobembon[/MENTION]

The touch fixed via the new firmware .136 , but sometimes i experienced the issue on a massive use (like gaming etc) for couple of seconds

but on daily use, the device run perfectly smooth and without any responding issues.

Hope the 4.4 update will fix it for good. :)
[Xperia Z1 General] ___ZerO:
Well, I don't feel like upgrading mi Z1, because as far as I concern there's no a huge difference, between them.

Maybe Z3
[Xperia Z1 General] YorubaDey:
Why would I get a Z2? They're nearly identical. If we get the software goodies of the Z2, then it's close to pointless.
[Xperia Z1 General] ziich:
I currently have the z and The main things stopping me from getting the z2 are the 16gb of internal storage (i wanted at least 32gb with sd card support like the z1s) and the overall size
[Xperia Z1 General] eclyptos:
When I saw the Z1 I just felt in Love. I cannot do that, no way. Z1 will die in my hands. ;)
[Xperia Z1 General] surge27:
For those that preordered.... Where did you get it?
[Xperia Z1 General] shem2409:
Xperia Z2 hands on from clove.co.uk:

[YOUTUBE]HNjGVi57lpA[/YOUTUBE]
[Xperia Z1 General] qatrium:
Hardware-wide: Nope, it doesn't worth it. I prefer to feel a major upgrade when I get a new phone. You can see in my signature that I do quite big jumps between my phones. The upgrade from Z to Z1 was worth it totally. But from Z1 to Z2? I can't actually feel like temped to do it.

Software-wise: The Z2 got loads of interesting goodies, guess we're going to get it sooner or later via updates or ports. So most likely I'm sticking to my Z1 :)
[Xperia Z1 General] jonmorris:
The Z3 must have at least the same screen and speakers (or better) and some camera upgrade. So if you wait until August/September then you'll get at least everything on the Z2 and something a bit more substantial.

But I'm still thinking of upgrading!
[Xperia Z1 General] negrobembon:
Regardless of what one does( either waiting for the Z3 or buying the Z2 now) you'll still have a top of the line high end device that will be bested in six months

So if you're an Xperia flagship user the just choose your season(first semester or second semester) and stay on that line( For example Z-Z2-Z4 or Z1-Z3-Z5)
[Xperia Z1 General] maomao891007:
Just dropped my phone, and it become a good reason to get a new one...
[Xperia Z1 General] jonmorris:
More realistic, as in what MOST people would do, would be to go for every third release.

So, if you got an Xperia Z last March, you'd now be changing to the Z3 in August/September this year, then letting two more devices come out before changing again. Those who signed a contract will almost certainly be doing this, or possibly even having the Z until March 2015!

But we're not normal on here. If Sony decided to release a new flagship every 2 months, a reasonable number of people would find a way to keep changing!

Now, if lots of people did this, that would be pretty good for Sony (not so good for the environment) but I wonder how many people are that loyal, versus how many people get rather upset and might just decide that if they want to be able to enjoy having a flagship for longer will look to Samsung, HTC or even Apple?

Forget the facts that we all know technology advances and there's always something newer out tomorrow etc, that's not up for debate... but we can all accept that a lot of people would still like to have something 'new' for as long as possible. Is Sony's decision to release six-monthly updates actually doing it harm in the long term?
[Xperia Z1 General] bodson66:
Keeping my Z1 for now not enough of a jump for me. I'm glad they improved the screen but I'm used to the Z1's now. I have been eyeing that oppo find 7. If it does have a 2k and a 50mp camera i might jump ship on that.
[Xperia Z1 General] Thechiller86:
I Do the Same :) got my z1 2 month ago
[Xperia Z1 General] Jay794:
Personally, I don't see the Z2 as enough of a significant upgrade from the Z1, I thought they might have decreased the bottom bezel at least, plus the camera and majority of other specs are the same too
[Xperia Z1 General] Luhccas-X10:
No.

I'll buy a Z2 and keep my Z1 as a luxury spare phone.

Sent from my Honami!
[Xperia Z1 General] NiM72NiK:
at first I was thinking about replace my z1 with a z2.but after a while thinking about improvements,I realized that there are no major differences that may be noticed.so i,m gonna wait more,and defiantly but a z3 so maybe i get s 64x processor and some camera improvements.;)
[Xperia Z1 General] BLiapis:
My biggest gripe with Sony, they aint offering any real bemefits in the gadget department. Unlike Samsung with a full suit of gestures and whatnot that really improve the character of the phone.
[Xperia Z1 General] Jay794:
That "full suite of features" you speak of just drains the battery quickly, I had an S3 & S4 and never used any of that Air Gesture crap
[Xperia Z1 General] :
Yup i'm the next proud owner of the Z2
[Xperia Z1 General] surge27:
Wait...you have one in your possession or preordered?! Proof?
[Xperia Z1 General] augie7107:
Giving the wife the Z1.

Selling Nexus 5 and Lumia 1020.
[Xperia Z1 General] :
Either you didn't read well or you didn't read well. I said im the next proud owner. It means that i will buy one
[Xperia Z1 General] bodson66:
I'm tempted due to the screen and better sound, but simply not enough for me to do it. The Z3 will be out in 6 months hopefully with the 805 CPU. That or the oppo with the 2k screen.
[Xperia Z1 General] BLiapis:
Those crap you are refering to is totally optional YET it is a very interesting option, esp capturing the eyes and assisting page scrolling or stay awake. Another option is that you can hover over the screen without actually touching , to select things. Those are optional but very useful for the majority of users. What has sony has to offer innovation-wise? Sony only allure is the very attractive design and materials. Take them out of the equation and its just another phone no different than the others.
[Xperia Z1 General] slayer2333:
All i can see is that consumerism is simply killing us, i purchased the Iphone 4 3 years ago and i just changed for an Xperia Z1, for me its pretty much the same with a bigger screen and faster. Yeah faster is good, but opening an app in 5sec Vs. 15sec doesn't make a whole difference in my life. The additional gesture features and other crappy stuff is only marketing that what essentially we don't need. For 'Normal usage' this phone would last for 3 years at least.

My 2 cents.
[Xperia Z1 General] dlads:
Not worth the leap, i've used both and although the Z2 has some nice new features and is a better phone, the changes are marginal and quite a few of them are down to the new base which we'll get anyway, hardware differences is the only reason to consider it.

Screen and dual speakers, extra GB of ram and the 801 SD?

No not really worth it coming from a Z1 at all.
[Xperia Z1 General] negrobembon:
Did you manage to find out if it had tap 2 wake? I know its not something you might look while testing for but id love to have that feature
[Xperia Z1 General] dlads:
It does have tap to wake, sorry forgot to mention it before.

Funny thing is when he's showing me all these things, i had half of them on my Z1, made him look a bit silly lol.

The vast majority of the upgrade is on a software level, the processor and RAM obviously aren't but out of all the changes between the two devices they're mostly software.

The screen is lovely though, makes a hell of a difference, and the speakers were a nice touch too, such a shame they weren't present on the Z1, i missed the boomsound when i sold my HTC One. :(
[Xperia Z1 General] negrobembon:
Thanks

I agree on the not much of an upgrade part, the screen is better that's for sure but im sure the Z3 will be better too
[Xperia Z1 General] dlads:
I'm sure it will, i'm also sure it'll most likely be out around christmas ;)
[Xperia Z1 General] negrobembon:
Yeah that's for sure, and considering the stuff coming out later this year including the new iphone, I'm sure the Z3 will be quite the beast
[Xperia Z1 General] dlads:
One thing i'd like to see and didn't think to check it when i had the Z2 in my hands was the wifi direct, i think it's crazy the way they've left that out of the Z1's prior OS'

Shouldn't have to download an app to use wifi direct to file share.
[Xperia Z1 General] negrobembon:
Yeah that's true, I've been doing fine with superbeam but Sony should have added a native wifi direct option

Also i wonder if there's finally an option to display the same homescreen wallpaper as wallpaper if you have no lockscreen wallpaper set

Would be awesome with live wallpapers and the muzei wallpapers
[Xperia Z1 General] funky0308:
"Real 2014/2015 flagship" still hasn't arrived.

When that beast arrive - I'll get it.

I'm 100% sure next flagship, most probably, named Z3, will have 4Gb RAM , 32Gb internal memory (at least), IPS screen without edges and glass case.

If course, powered by S805 ;)

That's something we all know and that's how Z3 (or whichever name Sony pick) will (most likely) look like.

That's the device I'm gonna buy...

So...no...I won't sell Z1 to buy Z1+..., sorry Z2 :P
[Xperia Z1 General] dlads:
How do you mean? Regarding the wallpaper?
[Xperia Z1 General] negrobembon:
For example in other phones, if you have not set a lockscreen wallpaper and you set a live wallpaper on your homescreen, the same live wallpaper will be displayed on the lockscreen

Its like that on stock android and Samsung Galaxy devices
[Xperia Z1 General] dlads:
Oh right, i didn't know that it didn't happen, just tested it now and youre right, if i remember rightly, HTC sense 3.0 had this feature.
[Xperia Z1 General] Tidbits:
For me Yes. I will jump my Z1S to some other device and buy the Z2 from Sony.
[Xperia Z1 General] negrobembon:
Yeah, that's the reason i stopped using live wallpapers
[Xperia Z1 General] dlads:
Haven't used one for years m8, not even on my tablet.
[Xperia Z1 General] louvass:
I want a Z2 but AT&T doesn't carry any Sony phones :(
[Xperia Z1 General] Rui Oliveira 21:
In a couple of months when I spot a good deal, I'll trade the Z1plus some euros, for the Z2, thus, never spending too much to a more future-proof device, but my Z1 with kit kat is a gorgeous machine, love it so far:angel:

will keep it some more months, only atracted by Z2 dual speakers, bigger batt and that's it.
[Xperia Z1 General] negrobembon:
If you're going to wait a couple of months after the Z2 release then you better hold on for three more months after that for the announcement of the Z3 and buy it then

Remember That Sony said themselves that they're on a two flagships a year kind of thing and that they will remain like this cause they prefer it

So the Z3 would be an awesome update from your Z1
[Xperia Z1 General] Rui Oliveira 21:
Lol, guess you're right, but anyhow...The Z2 seems already perfect, I wonder what are they gonna do with the Z3
[Xperia Z1 General] jonmorris:
I think the Z3 will be a significant upgrade. Maybe a new shape (less bezel?), new design features, a major new SoC, new image sensor etc.

The Z2 obviously brings stereo sound and a different screen panel that is also a tiny bit bigger, but everything else is just software and it's only because Sony chooses not to give so much to Z1 owners that it appears like such a superior device. Snapdragon 801 is really nothing more than an overclocked 800, renamed to allow manufacturers to make their H1 devices stand out.

I expect the majority of the hardware inside the Z2 is identical to the Z1. And I'd say the Z3 will be a lot different.

I wonder if someone at Sony making the decisions worked in the car industry, or just thought to copy Apple - i.e. All new product followed by refresh, followed by all new product. Except car makers usually have 7 year cycles, with a refresh at 3.5 years, and Apple has two year cycles with a yearly refresh.
[Xperia Z1 General] lelouch20:
If there is significant improvement in the model after z2 i think i would buy..z3?not now bcoz z2 is somewhat the same in our z1..
[Xperia Z1 General] jonmorris:
If the Z2 is delayed until May, that doesn't leave a lot of time until the Z3, if it's still on target for IFA.
[Xperia Z1 General] negrobembon:
I think the Z3 will be announced around september and released on october
[Xperia Z1 General] jonmorris:
Would make sense, but then it obviously means that the 'Z4' won't be able to be released at CES or MWC 2015 as it will then be far too short a time - so what event could they use to launch that? Or indeed what event to launch the Z2? I wonder if Sony will go back to having its own events?

Of course, my personal opinion is that Sony needs to be moving towards annual releases, and filling the time between with new Ultra/Compact variants.
[Xperia Z1 General] negrobembon:
Not exactly cause if they release in october its still 6 months after april and 6 months before april so it fits with their 6 month flagship upgrade cycle

And at those events like CES or MWC all they do is announce the device
[Xperia Z1 General] jonmorris:
Actually, it might just work, but it's cutting it fine!

It rules CES out, which is fair enough, and MWC is a week later next year - but it still doesn't change my personal view!
[Xperia Z1 General] negrobembon:
I agree with your point, Sony should have annual flagship releases like they have with their other products

But releasing a flagship every 6 months also means that Sony ALWAYS has a top spec device to compete with all other releases on a particular year, maybe that's why they like it
[Xperia Z1 General] jonmorris:
I like regular releases as I work in tech, and get to review them - so it keeps me busy. But I also review things with the consumer in mind, and I do wonder if Sony loses as many sales as it gains - simply because, like it or not, many people don't like spending loads of money on something only to find it is superseded a few months later.

Sure, we all know that there's always something new around the corner. Sure, we know the device will still do everything it originally did before you knew there was a new phone (or laptop, or TV). But, that doesn't change the fact that some people will just prefer to go to Apple, Samsung, HTC etc and have something that is still the top model for as long as possible.

Clearly Sony thinks it's a good strategy and if time proves it with Sony gaining loads of market share because the some people who get upset are less than the some that don't care one bit then I'll shut up, but I do think Apple and Samsung has the right idea.

Still, as long as Sony is releasing a new flagship every six months then I think I'll probably end up getting it - even though common sense tells me to wait for the 'big' update in the autumn, which will have all of the Z2 features, a new SoC, new camera and much more.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mousiee:
So basically I decided to install Cyanogenmod 11 on my Nexus 5 because I use Apex launcher and won't miss Google Now or any of the other features I lose by installing Cyanogenmod. I configured my phone fully and got it back to basically how it was before just running Cyanogenmod and it prompts me for an update. I click to update and it reboots my device, does some stuff and loads back up the device as it was before and then prompts me for the same update again and it just loops over and over. What can I do?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mauam:
Simple, don't update. The cm11 that you install first time is the offical one or you install it from nexus 5 xda thread!?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mousiee:
Just installed the version from the Cyanogenmod website. Also how can I make it so that the message doesn't pop up? It keeps popping up and it's starting to bug me.

Also thought this may be some use to you.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alisj99:
ok I know my problem is kinda weird since I've searched everywhere for a solution but couldn't find any thus far. (though my everywhere is limited to Xda and some other forums)

so my problem is that my note 3 kitkat 4.4.2 is able to display almost all emojis used and show their own Samsung made emoji..

however, every once in a while some of these are replaced by a Chinese character, this issue is visible in BBM broadcasts, Twitter and Path.

I've tried using snapchat, when I add a "story" I can view whatever I wrote in caption in the title, so when I use the emojis as a caption they always appear as Chinese Characters in the title

how do I get rid of this annoying problem?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alisj99:
hopefully someone has the same issue and solved it :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alisj99:
I forgot to add that I bought the phone from Malaysia and it's N-9005
[HTC One X+] sreeju1:
Hi guys ,

I have some questions.

1. Is there any rom available with stock android 4.4 or 4.3, which I can flash in my HOX+ ?

2. What are the features which will not work if I use 4.4 ?

3. I have flashed cyanogenmod 10.2.1 , and now my headset is not recognized by the phone. I can hear music in the headset and in the loudspeaker. How can I fix it ?

Thanks in advance

Just picked up a Poetic Atmosphere case and absolutely love it! I would like to find a tempered glass protector that is compatible with it. Does anyone have any successful personal experience they can share to help find the right protector?

From personal experience, iloome protectors work well with it. Even a generic Chinese brand worked well with it. I think you would be good with any kind really.
