And lost 4g. So I ordered a new sim from Verizon. My question is, will I lose unlimited data when I put the new sim in and it activates?

No

You will not lose unlimited.

Thanks guys. Didn't think I would but wanted to be sure
[Xperia Z1 General] digiknowzone:
I'm just wondering if using a different charger would affect the Z1's battery life?

I've seen the description on the original charger, and it's charge rate is 1.5mAh and with the phone's 3mAh battery almost 2 hours for it to charge. Now, my sister and dad have tablets and their chargers' charge rates are 2mAh.

Again the question is, would using these charges affect the life of the Z1's battery? Again, I'm very concerned because as you know, Z1's cannot be replaced conventionally.

Thanks for your feedbacks. Appreciate it.
[Xperia Z1 General] mrcrusha829:
I actually just bought the 2 Amp Samsung charger for that exact reason...takes too long to charge. I don't think there would be any issue.
[Xperia Z1 General] digiknowzone:
Thanks for the quick reply dude, but any technical references or long-term observations that would prove this is okay?
[Xperia Z1 General] romaha:
FYI

Hi guys! You're totaly wrong. If you are use high-ampers chargers for your phones, you can destroy your battery or, at least, significantly reduce the battery life. I have some bad experience with motorola radio stations wich we use in some airport service groups. When we buy hi-ampers chargers for it we was happy by time of chargeing, but after half of year useing it we just throw out all accums, because it began to hold charge about hour or two only :(

After consulting with with motorolla support we have found that its strongly not reccomended to use charger with higher amperage then recomended by manufacturer.

As a result:

Positive - we have quick charging time

Negative - disastrous decline in the lifetime of the battery
[Xperia Z1 General] chunlianghere:
tat is motorola. this is sony.

i also brought a samsung 2amp charger to charge my previous xperia v n current phone.

sony phone itself hav a circuit to regulate the input if it found charging amp way too high.
[Xperia Z1 General] digiknowzone:
That's very unfortunate to hear dude, thanks for your input. I hope to not make the same mistakes again.
[Xperia Z1 General] digiknowzone:
Thank you for your insight.

I have several questions though:

1) how long have you been using this 2amp charger? Was it continuous usage?

2) do you have any idea, or any exact figure on what "too high" means in numbers? That way we can all benefit if Sony phones could handle the extra "uhmp". And anyone who has a Z1 who can attest to this?
[Xperia Z1 General] funky0308:
2amp isn't problem.

I'm using that charger (from my N7) and only thing I changed is cable - I'm using magnetic-microusb cable and that's great combo.

I'm charging Z1 from the day 1 (I bought Z1 in October 2013) and my battery is still perfect.

25-30hours with.5.5-6.5 h of screen time.
[Xperia Z1 General] pandaball:
The rated output of a charger is the maximum output, however it will only output what the phone takes in - in other words, if the phone only takes 1.5A, the charger will only output 1.5A even if it's capable of 2.1A. Using a higher ampere charger would only work if, say, the phone can take in 1.5A but the charger only outputs 1A, then using a 1.5A charger would boost charging times :)
[Xperia Z1 General] digiknowzone:
Hmmm, that looks promising, I also ordered a magnetic micro usb cable few weeks back. Thanks for your feedback dude.
[Xperia Z1 General] digiknowzone:
Yeah, that's what I also believe. But hey, then why do most gadgets heat up a little bit more when using a stronger charger? I'm not doubting the principles that you mentioned, but I need something tangible to look at: like an article from Sony for Z1 itself.

The other guy's experience and your comment here seems to be coinciding with each other, but You can never be too sure right?

But seriously, Thank you for your insight. I really appreciate it. That's what I like about the community here. Thanks man!
[Xperia Z1 General] pandaball:
Gadgets heat up more when using a stronger charger because of my second premise - that the phone is capable of taking in a higher amperage than the charger that it came with. I think such a scenario is more likely since manufacturers would find a balance between charging times and heat, since too much heat would permanently damage the phone's charging circuitry as well as shortening battery life, so they provide a charger that outputs a lower maximum than what the phone can take in.

I do not know of any documentation Sony might have on this, but this is more or less physics in action. I did find a couple of readings here and here, and the main snippets are as follows:

Hi,

I bought an HTC One from Sprint network in Europe (Norway). Seller said that smartphone comes from norwegian market, but its just bricked because of plenty bad operations made by him.

I figured out, make and android OS again, than downgrade to 4.1.2 unlocked it from Sprint CDMA to Europe GSM networks, than change to Android 4.3, than to 4.4.2 by OTA, but now my USSD codes like *150# (which is checking my balance) are comming with chinnese language.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Amiaslaig:
As the title states, I am unable to flash my CM10.2 or CM11 hercules ROM to my device. I have tried both CWM and TWRP and neither of them let me do it. This led me to wiping data, cache, etc. When I tried this, it wiped Data and System great (this is on TWRP, btw), But when it got to cache, it just sat there and continued trying, never finishing. I've looked all over the internet for solutions, I've tried the SuperWipes, I've tried updating kernel, and I've tried updating my radio, but it all leads to the same thing. When I try to flash CM10.2, it flashes great, but when I start it up, it's an infinite boot logo (you know, the arrow spinning around the head with "cyanogenmod"). Please if someone can help me please do. If I require downloading something, please provide a link to the best "something".
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Darth:

And only use infamous wipes for 4.1.2 installs. Don't use darkside for anything. They are out dated.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brafy:
Hi XDA, I'm a n00b. I researched for a couple days before I managed to flash CyanogenMod 11 onto my U.S. Cellular Galaxy S4 (sch-r970). During that research I discovered that I should use EFS Professional to backup my IMEI and so I did.

I have the efs .tar.gz file. Great!

Of course, while the rom otherwise runs great, my IMEI was displaced/ruined. Luckily I have that backup, unfortunately I can't seem to use it with EFS Professional. I get the message "Your device is not Perm Rooted! Only the Qualcomm tab is available for supported devices." I've reinstalled busybox 1.20.2 and scoured the internet looking for answers and found nothing.

I'm getting a little desperate and any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brafy:
Solved. Turns out the efs backup wasn't needed. (Again, this was done on CyanogenMod 11 but may work on other roms.) Instead had to go Mobile network settings > Preferred network type and change it to CDMA+LTE/EVDO, and CDMA subscription and switch from NV to RUIM/SIM.

That fixed my mobile network internet as I noticed I was getting email.

Then to get calls and texts I installed from these forums Xposed Framework Installer, then Sim Number Changer and changed my phone number from something ridiculous like 000-000-8866 back to my actual number and voila.

I have inserted my videotron sim card and I was promted for a code.

I have ask the seller, and he replied that i should be unlocked, but since it is locked I can sent it back and get a refund. This is not the option I want as I got the phone for next to nothing.

Is there a way to know what carrier my phone is locked to? so I can get it unlocked?

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Allane176:
Hey guys,

I've been wary to flash the ROM of my Nexus 7, as it actually boots into the normal OS and does everything fine.

The basic problem is that I can't transfer anything to and from the device over USB. USB debugging is on and I have tried PTP and MTP.

One of the solutions I have been looking at is bad drivers on Windows' part, and that is where I am currently blocked. If USB debugging is off, Windows refuses to acknowledge my tablet's existence. If debugging is on, some drivers from Microsoft automatically install and the tablet is labeled as "unknown device".

My USB controller is up to date with the correct drivers provided by ASUS for my motherboard (ASUS Z87-A). I recently re-installed Windows 7 to put it on a larger SSD, and with this same motherboard, it now does not detect correctly.

If I try to uninstall the "unkown device" it simply disappears until I unplug and replug in the tablet. If I try to manually direct it to the correct drivers, it tells me that the USB drivers are incompatible with my device. The USB drivers are the ones downloaded directly from Google.

I can still access the fastloader.

If you need more information, just let me know.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Aerowinder:
When you first got the device, did you go straight into fastboot without booting it and plugging it in while in Android? Does that question even make sense?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] mdamaged:
Use this as a possible quick-fix (not all mode combinations will work right): http://download.clockworkmod.com/test/UniversalAdbDriverSetup6.msi, then reboot.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Allane176:
That would have been roughly a year ago. I believe I did boot straight into the OS.

To the first quick-fix, the ADB drivers are installed, but they are not the drivers that are utilized when the Nexus 7 is plugged in. Like I said, it instantly installs some generic Microsoft drivers, and refuses to recognize the ABD drivers are compatible for the device.

As such I can't even begin with option 2.
