i'm wondering why you did not try the sony centre the first time around. The price is the same.

4G hmm, the

d6503

support Band 3 1800Mhz, which should (in theory) work when 4G gets rolled out sometime next year.

There is another, one which appears to support both the 2300Mhz & 1800Mhz called

L50t

(scratch that its

locked

to China mobile in 3G)

hmm.....

Why the heck sony could not have just released that model here to begin..

yeah, but you will just have to keep at it.
[Xperia Z2 General] KyleSforza:
Because that 30 day replacement policy was too tempting. :/
[Xperia Z2 General] kannanX10:
Z1 was available from on Sept 19 onwards in india...

[Xperia Z2 General] One Twelve:
How do you get 7 replacements in under 20 days from FK , living in Delhi?

yes, available for sale but i could not get my hands on a demo for a few weeks after.
[Xperia Z2 General] KyleSforza:
They hardly give third replacement, second is refund. That's probably how. They denied me a third replacement aka a 5th Z2 and approved refund.
[Xperia Z2 General] One Twelve:
Buy 1st, get replacement, refund

Buy again, get replacement, refund

Buy yet again, get replacement, refund

Not possible in 20 days.

Very Important Announcement for anyone wanting to buy Z2 :

http://www.sony.co.in/support/announcement/591546

They have withdrawn accidental insurance for purchases after 1st July even if label is there on the Box!!

Damm it!! new buyers please be careful!
[Xperia Z2 General] One Twelve:
Great, so if we discover a problem then its sent to for repairs and no more replacement.

They have to open the box for checking and you have to do your own tests. The onus is on you the buyer to check the product is ok before parting with your money.
[Xperia Z2 General] KyleSforza:
wtf..
[Xperia Z2 General] One Twelve:
They could offer it as an option like presently in the US.

2yrd ADH

works out to $80 for 2years.

However such an option in India does not exist presently.
[Xperia Z2 General] KyleSforza:
They already offer it at service centers for 2k I believe, someone here got it. But that's extended warranty, not ADP.
[Xperia Z2 General] One Twelve:
What's the difference ?

Instead of 6 months free you get 2 years in the US should you opt for it. That's a plus.

So how did that guy get it from the service centre ? Cannot see anything like this on sony India's website. Only

extended warranty

is for VAIO & Bravia, nothing for mobiles.
[Xperia Z2 General] zadusimple:
But I am pretty sure this does not affect the people who bought this device before 1st July. But the new buyers should keep this in mind before purchasing the device. Or they can go for a third party insurance.

Or simply buy Xiaomi phone which will launch at 15k with awesome specs at the price but after sales service might be an issue.

Anyways, My duty was to share this announcement with all Indian users.
[Xperia Z2 General] KyleSforza:
Yup, that's reallllllly awesome. Hope it comes out soon! And applies to imported products too, I'm really looking forward to importing a Z2 now that this ADP thing is gone. There's no reason to purchase one locally.
[Xperia Z2 General] zadusimple:
Deleted.
[Xperia Z2 General] One Twelve:
It won't affect those who bought before July 1.

These plans are a gamble, Sony bets you won't need it but hopes to give you an inventive to buy. Curious they withdrew it, must have gotten bitten too much with assembly problems and returns. Have always thought ADP was a gimmick as in you have to prove to sony it was an accident and they reserve the right to refuse. Yeah, its nice to have if not entirely water tight. Can i expect a price reduction on the Z2 now that this ADP was withdrawn. Then we will know what really was the price of ADP to begin with.

But i've realised in the case of a build defect they use it to authorise a replacement. So now what happens ? they will say repair, that's a months wait at least.

Checking out K Zoom.

Thanks

---------- Post added at 03:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:39 AM ----------

You've proven it works.

Warranties are local and do not apply across borders for mobiles. Apple i think is the only exception.

You sure you want to import given the luck you've had ?
[Xperia Z2 General] Abhi Dahiya:
You Got it Wrong !

ADP has got nothing to do with the Replacements one gets for Manufacturing defects. Z2 will continue to be replaced for Factory issues.

ADP was only meant to protect one from paying huge amount of money in case any accident(user mishandling) occurs with the phone and it needed to be Replaced/Repaired !

PS- Service Centres in India are NOT ALLOWED to open Z2 for repairs
[Xperia Z2 General] One Twelve:
A post from Dpk gave me this idea. That's how he got his third replacement. Washed z2 under a tap and noticed condensation under the camera which never happened before. The water detectors in the unit did not trip, so ingress was due to faulty assembly.

is this an accident or factory issue, i would say factory issue.

heh, this is the theory, i know a couple of people that were refused. It's only 6 months long, a point i mentioned to a sony manager as in what do you do after. Any way to extend it ? no

So my view is always to pretend there is no such thiing as ADP. As there is no way to PROVE it was an accident. Fell out of my pocket and rolled down the stairs. Accident or abuse. See what i mean. If you have video footage then fine but nobody has that.

Sure and they send it to Sweden, they promise 7 business days turn around, a month is safe bet.

Hey everyone , Soon i m going to buy z2 . I decided to go for z2 over m8 but my main concern is Indian z2 dont have lte So the question is can i use or flash any rom from Development Section regardless of different modem and lte . Also what are difference bw d6503 and d6502
[Xperia Z2 General] KyleSforza:
Hi

The main difference is D6503 is LTE enabled and D6502 is the indian version, aka 3G. :)

Seriously, don't go for M8, you'll regret it. 4G really isn't worth missing all the goodies Z2 offers.
[Xperia Z2 General] Dpk1:
Guys, I'm on my fourth Z2 (5th to be precise, one I didn't accept because of loose flaps and poor plastic finish over aluminium frame). It's batch is 14W24, and it seems to have no issues thus far! Camera / speakers output is defect free / flawless, screen seems to have no reddish hue, touchscreen seems to work properly, flaps & plastic moulding seem much better finished than before. No mist under camera as yet despite of phone getting wet in rain yesterday but haven't immersed it in water yet. Slowly but surely sony are improving upon their quality control issues with newer batches. I've had many sony phones replaced (under warranty) from the service centre in past, but have never ever received any refurbished unit till date! Looks like it's highly unreliable to buy such products online when reputed online sites like flipkart are selling refurb units @ 50k price!

Yes, it was a factory defect / issue IMO. I even argued with the service rep but he said it is company policy to regard any visible moisture / fog / water inside the phone as accidental damage & not as a warranty issue :eek:! They even refused to have the new phone tested for water resistance in front of them, plain nonsense I would say :(!
[Xperia Z2 General] One Twelve:
This is a point that needs to be emphasised, do not accept any refurbs from the service centre people.

So if one buys the Z2 after July 1 and the same condensation issue occurs then what happens ?
[Xperia Z2 General] kirpeace:
and about what about heating of phone. can i get it solved?
[Xperia Z2 General] Sachinfan:
The sense i am getting from your experience and some friends here is that we are in a lottery system here aren't we? there is equal chance of getting a defective and a ok Z2............which is a huge gamble considering Z2 cannot be repaired in India and 99% shops open the box only after payment.

Secondly, i don't say all z2 are defective or s5/m8 have zero defective products but i cannot praise sony for shipping defect free z2 after 3 months.
[Xperia Z2 General] Dpk1:
There's no easy answer to this. With no standard ADP cover I would be very cautious while using my new Z2 near water, and hope water doesn't get into the phone in case of an accidental spill or rain! Basically, sony wants the Z2 users to take their word for Z2's water resistance claims, with no way to ascertain that but to take your brand new Z2 for a skinny dipping (at your own risk). At least this is what I gathered from my local sony support.

But on the positive side, I think this water seepage issue (despite all flaps closed) is very rare (complained by a few 14W20 batch users), hoping most Z2's are built to sony's claim! I think in my case water got inside the phone from the tiny hole at the top (for noise cancellation microphone). So I'd be careful next time not to let that part of phone directly under rapid water jet.
[Xperia Z2 General] One Twelve:
I still think yours was a manufacturing defect. Did not leave the factory with ip58.

The phone is supposed to withstand being immersed at a depth of 1.5 m of water for a half hour. Can a jet into the microphone exceed 1.5 m water depth pressure even for a few seconds ? Not a high pressure scalding hot water jet, just normal water pressure at comfortable temperature (as my tea test shows not above 50 degrees) from a tank 20-30 feet above.

It was not replaced under ADP but warranty, i think the person that told you otherwise was mistaken.

The clear proof in your case was the water indicators did not trip implying the flaps were closed ergo manufacturing defect. Had they tripped then the warranty would have been void and ADP would have come into play. And this would be another argument over what is and isn't an accident or user error.

Agree ?
[Xperia Z2 General] adya_2505:
Guys what model number of z2 is available in India??? I got my Z2 from a sony world store here in pune and I got a d6503 model. I noticed it just now. Does the model number get changed if you root the phone? Incident flash any rom, just rooted. View attachment 2846387

Edit: sorry my bad checked the tab inside the sim car slot and it is D6502... I don't know why it is showing 6503 in settings though :confused:

If I helped please press the Thanks button!!

[Xperia Z2 General] :
did you flash romaur ROM or d6503 baseband rom ?
[Xperia Z2 General] adya_2505:
No I have not flashed any rom.. I rooted using the easy root kit and just installed some xposed modules and speaker mod... No baseband. Maybe the sound mod replaced my build.prop with a d6503 file.
[Xperia Z2 General] :
i too have installed soundmode there is no problem for my device after flashing soundmode, its still showing D6502

[Xperia Z2 General] KyleSforza:
Where did you purchase your Z2 from?
[Xperia Z2 General] adya_2505:
That's strange then :confused: .Well it doesn't break anything so it's alright. I'm gonna troll my friend with this now, he also bought a Z2 recently. :D
[Xperia Z2 General] Dpk1:
I totally agree. I too believe my Z2 was defective & surely wasn't IP58. But the tough task was to convince the stubborn sony service guys about it being a factory defect. They say water inside the phone is not covered under warranty, be it with or without tripping the water ingress indicators :rolleyes:! I am pretty sure that can't be true though, maybe the sony guys here aren't well informed! I didn't escalate this issue as I was getting the new replacement anyways (under ADP cover).

I didn't purchase my current Z2 but received it as a new replacement (with box without accessories) from sony. I originally bought my Z2 from a local sony store in may.
[Xperia Z2 General] One Twelve:
On their

website

it says..

I'd have thought this had you covered.

From their

warranty

(also in Hindi)

That covers you so long as you can show it was indeed a defect.

Pg.13, clause 3

How to interpret that underlined bit. Pretty vague.

It goes on until we reach this gem

How minor is minor ?

Would you consider the difference in still photo image quality between your first & third Z2 to be minor ? they agreed to replace it for you nonetheless, twice.

go to ndr utilities... and reboot to recovery.. in philz touch recovery - install zip fle - (thermal flash zip).. u r done here.. but remember its really most dangerous method.. dont let your device get too hot.. then the device may be explode nor you will get cracked screen display...

I read the warranty paper today,It has been written that every other product can contains colored or black dot. and it is acceptable up to 2(two) dots.as long as i don't have dead pixel.I am fine with it.By the way who can give me guaranty that new Z2 will be defect less.I submitted by previous one with bad build quality and gap issue and for one very very ting green dot on 5th june(14w18).I received the replacement on 10th july(14w20).Build Quality is better and no gap issue.but has a very very tiny green dot.which can only be seen on special occasion.So it's okay then.But i can't live without my Z2 for one month again.I also went through xperia support forum.This guy bought on 5th july.But has a same problem.So i guess it's normal and nothing to do with batch number.It depends on your luck.As Z,Z1,Z1c and other sony devices have this.

They already told me what is written on warranty paper.I argued with them and requested a lot,then they replaced.How can i argued with them again when the fact they were telling me is true.

Any one has purchased some additional warranty on the phone? Like after market warranties from United insurance or other private players. If yes then how much?which one? and in how many days after purchasing the phone we can go for it.

** Accidental damage warranty isno longer provided with the phone purchased after 1 July
[Xperia Z2 General] nhnt11:
They called me back and told me it would be repaired and not replaced. I went there again and showed them the massive gaps around the display, and they agreed to replace it. They said warranty would be extended by one month, I assumed this to mean that the replacement device is as eligible as the old one for warranty-covered repair/replacement. Let me search this thread for what you're talking about...

Haah. Do u even need those firmwares? For eg. Our Z1 was having slight probs beforehand which has been solved by the latest 4.4.4 update (My handset was perfect though). This 4.4.4 update is awesome though. Almost all flaws solved for us Z1 guys!
[Xperia Z2 General] El.Guaje:
Z2 4.4.2 is good enough at the moment. Sony focus on update KiKat for T2 Ultra, T2 Dual, M2 and M2 Dual.

Next update for Z2 maybe a major update, it will fix camera overheat problem, touchscreen sensitive and Sony need time to collect all errors.

At this time, Sony is busy in making firmware for Z3 too :))

Sony has changed, update firmware faster than HTC, Sam and even Motorola.

We was left behind in two months, that was really sad ?, but we all know that big firmware is comming up.
