My friend bought Sony Xperia Z 2 weeks ago at Rs.28k and after just 5 days when he checked the price the price was 24k. The prices was down by 4000rs in just 5 days. So my question is Sony Xperia worth buying..? I am totally confused.:confused:
[Xperia Z2 General] shockerz1z:

my z2 is rooted so do i have to re-lock boot-loader before updating firmware via sony pc companion or flashing new firmware FTF via flashtool ? can some one post step by step process.

u cant update via sus or pc companion unless u relock ur bootloader

Has anyone noticed any differences in screen after the 314 update?

My current settings for white balance are R-5, G-35, B-80
[Xperia Z2 General] sandy.parulekar:
Hi, Bro

There is no guarantee that after replacement ur problem will solved.

I got 2 replacement for same problem, mine z2 was also shutdown after taking 15-16 photo in superior auto mode.(ambient temperature between 30-39 dc). Third time they sent my z2 at chennai for checking purpose, & returned same z2 after 20 days with remark(there is no problem in camera). Now I rooted my z2 & apply thermal control.

may be every z2 has a camera problem in outdoor.

So my suggestion is, pls root ur z2 & try with disable overheat control from setting or try thermal control.

---------- Post added at 11:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:07 AM ----------

I still not updated my z2 with 314, because I heard somewhere new update has battery draining problem.

So pls let me know, do u face such battery problem after update?

So people who have updated to 314 firmware, do you see any significant changes from perious known issues like Camera Heating etc? Pls share!!
[Xperia Z2 General] kannanX10:
As for I'm concerned call quality is definitely improved no more noise issues in microphone,camera performs as always--no issues

updating

ok, so i dont need to re-lock if i use flashtool ? is there any way to re-lock boot-loader ? and thank you for the help man.
[Xperia Z2 General] unease:
Bootloader can be relocked using flashtool (v0.9.16.1 only). But before you do so, ensure that you are either on the stock kernel or rom.

Once relocked you will be able to upgrade using pc companion or sus. No need to relock if you are going to flash the .ftf using flashtool.

Choice is yours. I am personally on locked bootloader, running stock v314. Rooted, recovery installed, bloatware cleaned.

---------- Post added at 02:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:34 AM ----------

i need to remove bloatware can u guide me bro ?
[Xperia Z2 General] unease:
Depends on what you don't use. However, exercise extreme caution. Do a backup in recovery before proceeding. Use this tool https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jumobile.manager.systemapp

List is long. Don't remember all by name. I have personally removed:

-Stock Live Wallpapers, except a few.

-Sony proprietary apps like Liv etc.

-Sony Social Share

-Walkman extensions such as google lyrics n YouTube etc (i don't use walkman - PowerAmp ftw)

hello senior,

thank u for a quick reply

could u plz tell me wt should i do after rooting? will cydia(ios apple) like software get installed automatically in android so that we could customize ?? how will i be able to customize my phone?? so when we install new firware should i root my phone all over again??

ps- sorry for being a noob, i tried google n youtube, i couldnt find relevant videos or information regarding z2 rooting n update information!!

thank u for your help
[Xperia Z2 General] unease:
Hello Imin,

Rooting an Android phone is equivalent to getting Administrative rights to the Operating System (Android). Once you gain the Admin rights (root privileges), you will be able to control lot of features on Android, which otherwise is not available to regular users who own Android phone as is from the manufacturer.

A few benefits of root are as below (again not restricted to these alone):

1) Ability to remove unwanted system apps (OEM Apps etc.)

2) Ability to control CPU/GPU settings (on modified kernel a.k.a hardware controller) - RISKY

3) Ability to modify UI (Vast topic)

4) Read more at: Top 10 Reasons to Root Your Android Phone, 6 benefits of rooting your Android phone,

Updating new firmware OTA or through Sony PC Companion will cause you to lose Root (Reason : Because root privileges are written to the system files partition, which is overwritten during the update).

I would say, Root/Modify/Install Custom ROM etc only if you are confident about what you are doing. Another point, Do not compare iOS to Android, They function much differently. Jailbreak ≠ Rooting.

Have fun (responsibly)

:)
[Xperia Z2 General] zadusimple:
One thing that I have noticed is that Battery is draining a little bit faster after the latest update via PCC. Is any one else from India facing this issue?
[Xperia Z2 General] unease:
i beg to differ however you should check what is triggering the battery drain. if you are rooted, utilize an app called Greenify to control apps which are causing wake locks or running in the background causing battery depletion.

other factors are constant use such as gaming video watching. low wifi or network signal. autosync etc.

Idea 3G Roaming issues

Hello, does anyone use this phone with an Idea SIM? 3G on this phone works perfectly in the home circle, but it drops to 2G out of it. I checked, and Idea does offer 3G roaming through ICR.

When I am roaming and try to download the GPRS/3G settings as per the instructions on their website (send SMS "SET" to 54671), I get a message "Your phone is not provisionable".

Can someone help?

Make sure USB-debugging is enabled

Make sure no Sony PC Companion or other Sony software is running

Make sure you have adb drivers installed (Example)

Make sure the computer is permanently authorized for connection on the phone (you get a dialog the first time you connect)

So I see that the newer version of firmware update v314 is OTA and is no longer showing "computer required". However, I can't update it because it says "Software Update is not available in roaming network". Anyone seen it before? How do I get around it? I will be roaming for a while...

Thanks. I had modified build.prop.. Reverted and it updated..

It is safe to do ota. Root remains. I was already on .314. The update was 31mb in size. Ota did not remove root.

I can see the addition of a liv sports app. No other changes spotted so far.

I have the same issue. I just rooted my phone and removed some bloatware that I didn't use. Does that count as modifying system files?

Today was not a good day at all for me or my month or two old Z2. I have been very careful not to get scratches on her and also bought a love mei aluminum bumper. I figured that I can keep all the flaps closed and no water will ever enter the body resulting in the long life of the Z2, oh boy was I wrong.

I have not opened any of the flaps of the Z2 since about a 20-30 days I recharge her via the magnetic port on the side which took an ugly turn today. The whole port section came out when I tried to lift the cable off the magnetic charging port it was held loosely by some glue which is weird how does this thing stand the water. Anyhow went to the Sony service center to ask for no nonsense exchange and return the dam thing but was confronted with a "Sir dedo dekta hai" the phone is with them I just hope they give me a new piece because waterproof will be gone if they just repair and give.

Anyone had any such issues?
[Xperia Z2 General] One Twelve:
There have been a few reported in the Q&A section.

Take a look at this z2 disassembly

video

.

Go to 11:10 where he is trying to take the magnetic charging port out, you can see he has to struggle a bit. It does not easily come out.

Then go to 1:30 where you can see the battery resting up against it so i don't understand how the port just snaps/drops off as some have reported.

Guess the only way is by heat, if the battery gets hot enough to affect the glue. But how hot can the battery ever get, the heat gun operates between 250-350 degrees c, a battery should not be getting anywhere that hot.
[Xperia Z2 General] ajai_dev:
No no the ribbon is not what comes out look at the grayish plastic bit that is still attached to the body of the phone that is what comes out. The ribbon is separate than that plastic bit which has two contacts.
