What was your primary complaint to get replacement ?
[Xperia Z2 General] rpk12:
Build quality,gap issue,off-centered camera and stuck pixel.
[Xperia Z2 General] kirpeace:
Is it for d6502?
[Xperia Z2 General] El.Guaje:
It's for Z2 variants. D6502, D6503, D65xx
[Xperia Z2 General] :
Anyone here got the latest 314 firmware update ?
[Xperia Z2 General] unmaskedfalesh:
that was what i was going to ask?? anyone??
[Xperia Z2 General] sierrarohan:
No notifications for me yet!! Checked manually, no updates!!
[Xperia Z2 General] DooMLoRD:
how is the build quality of the cable u bought? also will the same one work on Z2 (asking just incase i get the Z2)?
[Xperia Z2 General] badelemental:
Same here dude. But I regret to say that there is no genuine Sony accessory. It is Chinese ripoff. I saw the higher priced one but after some digging in internet I found that there is no such official accessory. The eBay seller is giving wrong information. So got the lower priced one. :D

Here is the proof (image link ) : Image

---------- Post added at 07:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:28 PM ----------

Yes according to reviews on internet those work just fine with Z2. And yeah quality is also good. Every cable is same anyways. I mean no one is genuine but quality wise they are just fine. And yeah there's a white one too if you prefer.

Here is the link : http://www.ebay.in/itm/MAGNETIC-USB-CHARGING-CABLE-CHARGER-CORD-ADAPTER-SONY-XPERIA-Z-ULTRA-Z1-WHITE-/191067676052?pt=IN_Mobile_Accessories&hash=item2c7c855d94&_uhb=1

But I got the black as mine gets dirty very quickly :D

If you are searching for a good screen protector for Z2 then I recommend this one :

Nillkin Glass Screen Guard : http://www.ebay.in/itm/191123153035?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

It is best to buy this one from global shipping eBay site as Indian ones are charging nearly double for it. If you check some video review of glass protector then I am sure you will fall in love.

Damn ... All accessories are nearly with me now except for the actual phone. This sucks :(
[Xperia Z2 General] unmaskedfalesh:
Yes it will work most probably in Z2 too..

---------- Post added at 11:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:18 PM ----------

The build quality is quite nice and the Cable is Sony certified thats what matters also i checked with a known person of mine who has Z1 the cable fits firmly without any gaps and it holds device nicely and doesnot loose when the device or cable is shaken...
[Xperia Z2 General] KyleSforza:
These cases look so gorgeous. :fingers-crossed:

Guys ... great news. Sony social camera app now ported to CM11 builds for Xperia devices. Hope there will be good support for Z2 as well.

[Xperia Z2 General] lathiwala_99:
Looks too feminine for my taste...i would go with the official case.

Thanks for the link buddy.. As pointed out I was quite reluctant to buy one online due to the quality of the cable as well as the magnetic port. But if you think its good enough then I would buy two of them :D
[Xperia Z2 General] unmaskedfalesh:
he he he

and btw you are right i would too go with the official case..it looks way too gorgeous than any other third party one..
[Xperia Z2 General] unmaskedfalesh:
Visited a Sony Center in Bangalore today and they said they are expecting Z2 in next month and they dont have any clue regarding price or any other details..
[Xperia Z2 General] badelemental:
Same here in Hyderabad. All they know is that it is coming next month and about price all are clueless.
[Xperia Z2 General] badelemental:
New cooling technique

During my random browsing I found an interesting article about Z2. It is among the first to use Heat Pipe in a smartphone. Don't know if this is true but anyway here is the link : http://www.androidheadlines.com/2014/04/sonys-xperia-z2-keeps-cool-using-heat-pipe-technology.html

If this is true then mobile processor these days sure gets hot just like laptop ones.
[Xperia Z2 General] unmaskedfalesh:
i too read this some months back when z2 was rumoured they used similar heatsink type design used in pcs but dont know if they really can control the heat because the first batch sonld in Singapore was awfully getting hot

Camera Comparison - Z2 vs Nokia 1020

Guys check out the camera comparison. Z2 did pretty well considering that the sensor size is less than that of 1020.

Link : http://allaboutwindowsphone.com/features/item/19726_Camera_initial_head_to_head_Lu.php
[Xperia Z2 General] KyleSforza:
Still it beats 1020 tho, because 1020 takes ages to process the images. Also the camera launch is slow. (Thanks to the old processor)

[Xperia Z2 General] KyleSforza:
Concepts. No matter how much we wish they were a reality but they never are.
[Xperia Z2 General] unmaskedfalesh:
Still Z2 is better in any department...i just dont like the WP..
[Xperia Z2 General] KyleSforza:
Z2 is available in the UK and goes on Pre-Order in Australia on May 7. :p

Indian launch might not be far! :D
[Xperia Z2 General] pandurang_m:
15th May in India. Paid Rs. 2500 ($41) for pre order at Sony center Hyderabad.
[Xperia Z2 General] azharshaikh7866:
What is the cost???
[Xperia Z2 General] kannanX10:
probably by Monday evening we will have .314fw for indian D6502
[Xperia Z2 General] unmaskedfalesh:
Lets hope fr best...:D
[Xperia Z2 General] Surajn97:
Guys, I am deciding to buy z2. But is there any chance of nc earphones and dock like the international version?

or atleast the earphones? If i buy the international version online, would i get warranty in india?
[Xperia Z2 General] :
Nope
[Xperia Z2 General] unmaskedfalesh:
Not A Chance as of now....
[Xperia Z2 General] alexdonwarez:
no update still now..............
[Xperia Z2 General] unmaskedfalesh:
Nothing yet!!!SONY wake up!!!!!
[Xperia Z2 General] El.Guaje:
Seens like just Vietnam and India has D6502.

In Vietnam we have stucked with 69 build.
[Xperia Z2 General] :
I think D6502 left out from sony :(
[Xperia Z2 General] El.Guaje:
I dont know what's going in but C6902 receives 4.4.4 update after C6903 2 or 3 days.
[Xperia Z2 General] arindamb:
over all i feel either sony had too big a bit this time with xperia z2 (S5 failing to capture the market) than they can swallow....so they are struggling to keep up or they really dont care for the Indian customer. They are soo slow is fixing issues (facebook video playback), pushing updates, bringing accessories to Indian market ..makes me really wonder.

But one think is for sure....if you take Indian customer for granted they will teach you a good lesson ...classic example S5 and over all samsung mobiles performance in India in the last quarter
[Xperia Z2 General] nickporwal:
Give Sony some time.... But its true that we Indians are much more smarter now. If companies won't respect us, they are going to bite the dust sooner or later.
[Xperia Z2 General] jafarsalih:
I decided to buy it from india when I was there, when returned back to my country it was there with 100$ lower price and 4g enabled :(
[Xperia Z2 General] Sabreesh Bass:
Hey guys,

I am new to this forum :fingers-crossed:

Happy to be part of the Z2 family, such an awesome device.!! . This is my 2nd android , my first one was Xperia ZR ;)

I am gonna sell my SmartBand (not used that much but its good). If any one is interested PM me. I live in Chennai :cool:
[Xperia Z2 General] unmaskedfalesh:
Strange!!! today i noticed my speakers grills are having gaps ...i think that might just affect the water resistant feature need to visit the care center asap...

anyone noticed any such thing with their handsets...really a poor decision for going for Z2 damn Sony...how are we gonna get the best...from your such incomplete products...dammit 50K phone
[Xperia Z2 General] nanisunil9:
Even in sony india website,its shows up the lastest update for z2 is. 341 but im not able to update it,i tried to update useing sony companion software and driect from phn,no use,no update yet,how long will sony take to update indian version of z2?
[Xperia Z2 General] kannanX10:
its unusual that sony hasn't released the update for its flagship device in India that's even after a week of its initial global rollout...............but we have to wait.............
[Xperia Z2 General] unmaskedfalesh:
submitted the phone to care center lets see what they do?

not satisfied with sony flagship quality...Will think twice before heading over to Sony Center Next time...
[Xperia Z2 General] El.Guaje:
We have certificated 2 days before D6503 and now, we see nothing!
[Xperia Z2 General] arindamb:
has anyone tried calling the service centers in India check if they have the latest OS update?
[Xperia Z2 General] kannanX10:
if the new update is not seeded today,then we have to wait until next week-----mostly sony don't release updates on sat & sunday,even l50t got its update on tuesday and its respective open archive is also live..............it seems D6502 is completely ignored as it was the case with z ultra in india after releasing 4.4.4 and it haven't received the update even after a month but they do have some other regions FTF to flash with......
[Xperia Z2 General] :
yes i did 3 days before, they said "its not yet released in india, we have to wait until its show up on pc companion"
[Xperia Z2 General] arindamb:
i called the service customer care number today - firstly they have a very limited knowledge on what I was asking and all she could tell me was - it depends on IMEI number. The server pushes the updated as per the IMEI number....if none in this form from India has got the update im wondering which IMEI number the server is pushing the updated since the last few days?
[Xperia Z2 General] kannanX10:
the fact is she/most customer care executives doesn't know anything about firmware update in india...............
[Xperia Z2 General] arindamb:
this is very unlikely like other manufactures like HTC, they are very upto date ...from my personal experience
[Xperia Z2 General] :
Its depending IMEI Number..? LOL :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
[Xperia Z2 General] El.Guaje:
Z Ultra in India has not received 4.4.4 update until now?
[Xperia Z2 General] kannanX10:
yes,only india has been left out.........
[Xperia Z2 General] El.Guaje:
This is update tool in Sony Service Center in my country, I believe other Service Center have the same tool.

As you can see, this tool shows Z1 C6903 has firmware build 14.3.A.0.681 (certificated on 19 March) is photo is taken on 20 March.

I have asked the supporter but they have not replied yet.

I believe that 4.4.4 is available in your country through Sony Service Center. No idea why they don't start to roll out.
[Xperia Z2 General] kannanX10:
that tool is called EMMA and i think if u have an unlocked bootloader u can check for new fw................
[Xperia Z2 General] El.Guaje:
//Edit: Nervermind
[Xperia Z2 General] arindamb:
has anyone tried visiting the service center? Or the EMMA tool?
[Xperia Z2 General] El.Guaje:
EMMA is just for Unlocked Bootloader only.

If anybody know someone who works in Service Certer, try to ask them.

I have just asked my friend in Sony Service Center, he has no idea when the update comes. It depend on Sony.

Just wait for next week, if the update wont roll out, it's better not to wait because it make us tired, angry and wasted time.

One more thing, Sony has ended to support Sony Update Service, what a shame.
[Xperia Z2 General] :
Where is our Xperia Z2..?
[Xperia Z2 General] El.Guaje:
Seems like Z2 has never been existed :))
[Xperia Z2 General] arindamb:
Deeply saddened with sony's attitude towards there flagship of 2014. It all started with the headset not being given in the package and the saga continues....maybe his will be my last phone from Sony.

To all here request you to please share your comments on the link below -

WiFi connection issue

I'm on 402 firmware.

My WiFi gets disconnected automatically. When i go to settings and check, it shows DISABLED below my wifi network. I connect it again but it gets disabled/disconnected again after 2 seconds.

Please help me out
[Xperia Z2 General] One Twelve:
What else is 'saddening' you about the Z2 ?
[Xperia Z2 General] susmitpatil:
Nothing but this. Any solution?
[Xperia Z2 General] arindamb:
1. Sony not bothering to release the 4G version when we pay almost the same at per global market

2. No tie ups with 4g service providers like an apple or LG and now samsung

3. Cheap headset in the box, not even at par with Z or Z1 headset. Very cheap of sony

3. very late release release of the accessories

4. Over all very slow updates

5. No dual speakers while using speaker phone

6. Ringtones hardly audible

7. Very limited themes
[Xperia Z2 General] One Twelve:
What about heating and the camera ?.
[Xperia Z2 General] unmaskedfalesh:
True!!!

Was so happy to own one and now planning to Sell my Z2 soon...

Doesn't have any reputation as Flagship device !!!

Doesn't stand head to head with other company's flagship(No offence to any owner i like Sony As much as you do but its kinda bad seeing practically)

What is the use of Releasing Z3 with same specs just bumping a cpu clock makes no sense!!!
[Xperia Z2 General] One Twelve:
Give specific reasons.

It wasn't clear what caused this change from your earlier post which said you went for a replacement, your first i presume.

This means you are looking at another one, which ?
[Xperia Z2 General] unmaskedfalesh:
I thought for replacement but decided not to at last as they are not giving replacements for gap issues or any other issues...

And may be i will go for E8 or some other
[Xperia Z2 General] One Twelve:
You did not answer my previous questions ?

As someone that championed Z2 you seem to have made a u-turn all of a sudden. Why ?
[Xperia Z2 General] unmaskedfalesh:
its already answered in my post which you quoted before..

still i would say the phone is not well taken care by Sony even it is a flagship device..no updates..instead updating old devices..

No news for any other future updates whereas other manufactures already gave plans for Android L..

The phone is not so solid built and numerous complaints in build quality...still i bought but got dissapointed...lets see how long i can keep the device..
[Xperia Z2 General] mayankgamer:
I stay in kolkata and want to know where can i get xperia z2 at the lowest price.I stay near lake mall which is in south kolkata.
[Xperia Z2 General] :
well said bro.. i m disappointed by the call quality, their pathetic service in sony service center and their slow updates.. Z2 totally left out ... especially our indian model D6502
[Xperia Z2 General] One Twelve:
When i see this list, it makes me feel confident that Sony is looking after existing customers. The true test of whether a company cares is how they treat you not after 2 months but one year later.

That the Z2 isn't included in the list means they were busy and we can see the result.

---------- Post added at 09:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:39 PM ----------

Am not convinced with your reply.

The only point you made is about build quality. After two replacements, meaning you are on your third Z2 now, is build quality still an issue ?

Because i would have though by now that question will be resolved to your satisfaction. Did you get your 2nd replacement yet ? thought it took seven days.

You know what i think ? after launch of mi-3 you have buyers remorse. you are thinking why i paid 45k+ when 15 is maybe acceptable. There was a guy who posted about s5 here a few weeks back. he was thinking why he paid so much when s5 is only 38k. This i suspect is behind the resentment here. So the thinking is sell for little loss and recover the balance.
[Xperia Z2 General] unmaskedfalesh:
Woah Woah !!!

its still my first you might have taken me for some one else i just thought of going for replacement not literally did it!!

And about Mi-3 i agree the device is good but i dont think i will be a tester for Xiaomi in India..Also in my opinion Sony should respect 50K segment premium phone not like ...throwing away anything we buy..
[Xperia Z2 General] One Twelve:
ok I see you modified post #2824

So this will be your first replacement then. Why not ? others have gone in for 3rd & 4th :laugh:

hehe, yes beta tester that too for their previous flagship so better pray they will listen to fix existing issues.

Can it ever compare to what samsung did to people who bought in the 50k segment :o

pay 50 k get s5 in may, by end june price is 38k, now in end july they are launching improved s5 with 4g and snapdragon. How much for..

wait for it...

53k :D
[Xperia Z2 General] zadusimple:
I wanted to ask all thoese people who got replacement if Sony provides a brand new phone or they are refurbished ones? Also, I have 14w 18 phones with minor gaps at bottom and camera heating problem. (not that much). Is it advisable to go for replacement and how much time it takes to get replacement in India?
[Xperia Z2 General] unmaskedfalesh:
Only problem is they are not offering the replacement!!!!

They say they can repair the handset so no Replacement...funny they learnt to repair Z2 but were not able to repair ZL so stopped making it...

---------- Post added at 12:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:22 AM ----------

Call the Customer care and talk to Authorised Service Center if you are lucky ...or they will talk straight like they did to me...no replacement...only repair...

---------- Post added at 12:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:23 AM ----------

Also i dont count crapsung to exist in mobile business...who cares for S5 if there is 10000...... similar devices....
[Xperia Z2 General] One Twelve:
1. you bought your phone before July 1

2. gaps implies its no longer water tight.

They still don't repair it in India, they will send it Sweden and you will wait one month. Demand a replacement.

G900I is a qualcom chipset ;)

When have samsung ever offered that in India ? never
[Xperia Z2 General] unmaskedfalesh:
As far as my encounter with them the manager flatly said the device will be sent to backend office and will be repaired at that instant i said i dont want my device to be opened...i just dont trust once when device is opened other numerous problems will arise.

Yes i bought my device before July 1 ...Whats with the July 1?

Also who cares what Crapsung supplies...no one is gonna be fool with band-aid design...
[Xperia Z2 General] One Twelve:
They discontinued ADP after July 1, maybe you might be able to claim on it.

Bit surprised you got gaps after just two months, it means the glue got loose. That happens if the phone gets very hot and stays like that. Thing is the phone cannot get hot enough for these gaps to appear. Dissasembly requires a heat gun, thats nearing 90 degrees to loosen the glue. See this

vid

.

If they still refuse a replcement then you make them demonstrate the phone is watertight after repair. IN FRONT OF YOUR EYES. Immerse in water for a minute, wait five minutes and then see if water appears in the camera, also check if water indicators are pink.

No water tight test, no repair. Sony certifies the phone is ip58 resistant, you expect it back in that state.
[Xperia Z2 General] unmaskedfalesh:
The only thing is i don't want my newly bought phone to be opened ...i will keep the device safe... there are so many complaints of users who are facing issues after repair ..i dont know why Sony technicians just don't give a damn about such costly devices...after sales service is going worse day by day...the more the users the more careless manufactures are going...
[Xperia Z2 General] One Twelve:
An

example

from a reviewer in England :silly:

Eventually he got a replacement.

Pretty phones are harder to fix.
[Xperia Z2 General] unmaskedfalesh:
As ADP is stopped there is tough going...for all these glass phones...Bad move from SONY making all gorgeous devices by looks and not so good after sales service

HELLPPP.

I downloaded PC Companion. Connected my phone. It got detected as well.

Now i want to update the software.

Here's the error message (1st image)

So i went to PC companion settings and tried all options; got successful results when i used AUTOMATIC PROXY SETTINGS and NO PROXY. (2nd image)

The TEST in Settings shows that PC companion has connected to internet successfully. But when i'm trying to update, again it's showing the same error.
