its a good deal but a risky affair from ebay.. id rather pay the actual mrp cost and get it from flipkart. atleast i will have peace of mind...:p

Lol this is more amusing than practical...I think someone can design a smartphone cooling case with special liquid to allow better heat transfer:p

I have finally discovered Z2 is greatest of the latest 3 flagships.It may have tiny hiccups which may not matter to average users but its the best all round performer.

While the competing device M8(camera) and S5(Exynos and cheapo Plastic) have design blunders which are real deal breakers;)

Why doesn't Sony send updates via OTA like Samsung and Google do? Ain't that more convenient ?

Long back when there was no OTA,I updated my X10 mini from 1.6 to 2.1:D lol and it was a boring and scary thing for me then..I was too scared by notifications that if something like power failure happened the phone will die:p

Don't you think requiring computer to update android in today's time when PCs are disappearing from a common user's home too dumb...or I am in some misconception?

Yup Wallet only works for WS Retail. And buy only from WS Retail only as they provide 30 day replacement and I heard they are official Sony reseller, that means ADP is included too.

If you cancel any order then there's a option to choose wallet account and you can get your cash credit almost instantly (nearly within 1hr) and re-order from WS Retail.

I need help of [MENTION=2784807]DooMLoRD[/MENTION] to make Z2 perfect..here is my post from Z2 camera issues thread

I think doomlord should help to solve the only major gripe...atleast increase the safe temperature limit for camera to shut down. If its possible to change safe limit to cpu,then by analogy there must be for camera too.

Manufacturers always set temp limits low to avoid any damage, but it's kernel makers who push devices to limit and get maximal performance when needed. [MENTION=2784807]DooMLoRD[/MENTION] please listen to us and make Z2 ultimate phone in all senses..then it will be truly fault free..some users say 4k cant cross 2min,others say they can't click more than 5 superior auto pics..I think it's lack of calibration by Sony as users say it happens even when CPU is at 52° which is very normal.

They have started a whole thread on this issue but they have no developer assisting..so I request DooMLoRD￼

Here's another

45° is surface temperature of back cover just above cpu are. Most phones throttle at 65°C, so app crashing is common at that temperature.

I think the solution can be found if someone discovers exactly where the cpu should underclock during throttling.. by default underclock frequencies on throttling are very low..so the step 1 throttling should be altered in such a way that CPU and GPU(whatever is real culprit) run fast enough to support 4k and VR without causing excessive heat.Heating in semiconductor chips is non linear, so if u drop clockspeed by say 20% you will get say 40% less heat(atleast according to textbooks:p)..balance needs to be found by devs!!

And they can alter safe limit for camera warning to say 70-75° just like most kernels do for regular overclocking.

Is changing mode to Run Hotter helping you in custom kernals?Tried it?￼

[Xperia Z2 General] :
noway bro yesterday i brought my Z2 in t.nagar sony world.. there is no noise cancelling headphones... after purchasing i hav called all sony centers which located in chennai, they confirmed that there is no nc headphones in the box
[Xperia Z2 General] Dpk1:
Hello guys! Yesterday I went to check out the new Z2 at local sony stores. I liked the the speakers and camera compared to my Z1 but was not impressed much by the screen. I noticed that the screen on the Z2 had reddish hue (seen clearly on white background) and the blacks too were deeper on my Z1. I thought that it might just be the demo unit so checked another Z2 in another store but it too had the red hue.

So, I want to ask the Z2 owners that if they too have this red hue on the screen & also that how does it compare to the Z1 screen? I am still not sure whether to buy Z2 or not (or rather go for M8 / S5) given that I already have the Z1. Any replies or suggestions in this regard are welcome. Thanks!

Well I won't be surprised if they do that. HTC has track record of setting crazzy pricing. Anyways Sony Z2 should be around 45K as they need to push out as many phones as they can. They are already late to party if they price correctly they can win back some customers.

Yeah, HTC's warranty is next to none in India anyways. I remember the issues with repairs M7 owners had.
[Xperia Z2 General] badelemental:
I won't be getting the M8 even if it is priced at 40K. I accept that design is good but the M8 sucks in camera department and their devices uses lot of glues and very hard to repair. If you check on eBay there are a lot of parts already available for Z2 but for HTC you won't find any. And iFixit guys gave M8 a miserable score in repairability.

Actually I have an One X (using it for development purpose) and though the build quality is good but battery life sucks big time. Compared to this my Z1 was amazing. And that is why I will be sticking to Z2 even if it is coming late.

Those who are interested to find the camera comparison (video stabilization), check the below link.

Image Stabilization Comparison

Z2's SteadyShot is amazing. Samsung S5's image quality was also good but the stabilization was very bad. And HTC ... well it was just there for sake of comparison. 4MP camera has it's limits even if it is the gimmicky UltraPixel.

After selling my Z1 I am on One X too. Though I have installed CM11 and enjoying KitKat for the time being. And yeah I know, the device now feels slow and the battery won't even last half day with 3G on and full usage :(

Need to get Z2 ASAP. But this time I will wait and see how the pricing goes. Last time I bought Z1 the day it arrived here in Hyderabad and paid nearly 44K. But the price went down to 41-42K in two weeks. So I will wait a month or so and get the second batch if possible.
