But some weeks ago they had "15.04.14" as their delivery date, I think maybe just maybe it remains true for the people who already preordered, for the new orders the delivery date is the new date ... 05.05.14 , just some random thinking I know :'(

By the way, has any one of you seen the Z2 in person? I went to the aony center in Berlin and they only had De Z and Z1 on display, and I also went to mediamarkt and Saturn in Alexanderplatz and they don't have a phone to play with, very disappointing :( but of COURSE they had the galaxy s5 [emoji35]

In Hong Kong the officila release date now is June 2014.

This doesn't sound good. What do you think that will happen in Europe?

In Taiwan it is already on sale.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hudrator:
Only Sony could tell you. :)

If they really plan to wait until June, I will cancel my pre-order at Amazon.

Would be quite disappointing, couse Sony did many things right with this phone ( okay, last year HTC did the same with M7 but didn't seem to help after all...)
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KevinB88:
If it comes in June you should take a look at oneplus one, getting revealed on 23rd April.

But I think it comes latest on 5th may at mediamarkt. Cyberport.de still sais 24th April.

Just HTC did the same: A very very good phone but that was delayed time and time again until it was a failure.

Could this be the same?

Of course, I will cancel the order too if it is delayed to June. Probably will fall again in the S5 :(
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Log[]:
Any news on Amazon.de. I ordered it there because of the service. Do you think Amazon will have their stock at the same time as Mediamarkt/Saturn?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KevinB88:
When did you pre-order? Key partners will be delivered first in April. I think if you pre-ordered before the delay was official you will be a lucky one. But no-one, not even Amazon knows when they come.

Lets hope so :) Ordered 2,5 Weeks ago. I have no Problem waiting till May but June?? I think (hope) only Hong Kong has such a delay....
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KevinB88:
I don't think the delay in Hong Kong is because of hardware faults but because selling in China isn't easy.

I wanted to order it from eBay, from Taiwan, as it is the D6503 but I don't know if you have to pay any kind of fees when it is in Germany.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KevinB88:
Could be bad because of warranty if you don't have a German version and if zoll picks it as example you may have to pay much more.

*DEAD* Finally! [emoji24][emoji24] A shame that I can't buy one tomorrow, well I'm hoping amazon.de will send our devices this week so that they arrive on Thursday to coincide with the "official release date"

So they delayed the launch here intentionality to make it coincide with the spiderman 2 premiere? [emoji19]

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KevinB88:
I will go there tomorrow and hope I can pay around with a z2 because 679€ is too much if I can get it cheaper or they give some more special. I don't think they delayed it here for spiderman 2

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chad_Petree:
Do you think they are gonna sell them at 679€? I know that in the end Sony.de started charging 679 € instead of the initial 600€ price, but mediamarkt, Saturn and Amazon.de are still asking 600€ for the phone, so I'm not so sure, would you please let me know how much they cost, if you got yours and if it's too much trouble, could you check if they have the phone on display? [emoji15]

From Sony themselves it will cost 679€ otherwise they wouldn't have risen the price. Phone on display?

"Phone on display" is when the phone is available on the store so that the people can see it, play with it... Interact with it :) like on mediamarkt , Saturn... They're a**holes , the phones are on display but all of them are blocked with password ha!

EDIT: I just checked sony's website, and the phone costs indeed 679 eur, the price was gone a couple of days ago, you could only preregister

Did you guys in Germany have any hints to a release date until now?

Still waiting for a date down here in Australia...I wonder if they will just out of the blue announce it within a few days of release like this, or if it will be like UK and have to wait weeks after a timeframe is given

All we knew was that the phone was supposed to arrive in the biggest retail stores here starting from the 15th of this month and then they changed their estimated date to the. 05.05 (May) , amazon.de has been mum on the subject and now out of nowhere we got the news (apparently on Friday) that the phone will be available to 100 customers tomorrow on the Berlin Sony store and in limited quantities starting this next Thursday 17

So in Sony store in Berlin many devices are available. It's a really beautiful device with white white and very good speakers. It'sweight it's low and good to hold. But I bought no today so I can't tell you more. But on 17th many devices should be available everywhere.

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chad_Petree:
(A bit copy and paste post from another post of mine) I went to Sony Store in Berlin and got to play with the phone, they only had one in display (bummer), I agree with you, I don't know what sony did but it feels a lot more comfortable than the Z1, it doesn't feel as blocky , it feels lighter too which is crazy because no person could tell the difference between 7 grams , my Nexus 5 its still more comfortable and smaller! The Z2 is 30% bigger I would say , the bottom bezel is smaller than the HTC One M8 ;) , and the side bezels are noticeably smaller (compared to the Z1) but the top bezel is still too big.

The screen looks great, I was afraid it would be oversaturated like amoled, but it isn't , forgot to ask how much it costs (I figured 680 eur, like it states on sony's website) , I was pleasantly surprised, can't wait for the actual release on thursday :fingers-crossed: and receive mine :D

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KevinB88:
When I get a faulty device it's probably easier to get a new one at Saturn then in Sony store. And I will take rate pay what's not possible there. And most important I will wait until unlock bootloader without loose DRM and good roms coming.

The wait is killing me. I just spoke to amazon.de customer service and they couldn't tell me anything. They just said that they are waiting to hear from Sony.

I preordered on 7.4. so I'm afraid that even if they do get some stock it goes straight to the ones who ordered earlier and people like me will be left waiting for more phones to arrive. :crying:
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjpro45:
I bought one on eBay Small adds (Kleinanzeigen) and paid with PayPal and it should be tomorrow here!

If you look at idealo.de there is an online shop selling the Z2 with Vodafone branding, but without Simlock. I remember I bought my Z1 with Vodafone Simlock and then I flashed stock European generical and had my Z1 without branding.

On Vodafone it's on stock without contract for 600€ but they only accept payment on cash when you get your package from DHL (Nachnahme)
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stress40:
@ Hampurilainen

FFS I am getting annoyed now. Why is nobody saying anything? I pre- ordered on 8/3 from amazon.de and it is with Sony that I'm getting annoyed. I can't believe that a company like Sony haven't even issued a statement re: the delay. All the info has been found by ordinary ppl. You would think that by now they would have said something... Oh well, I've waited this long I suppose. But bloody hell, get with the programme man lol... :rolleyes:

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ricochet23:
Well Sony told me a lot already, besides many wrong guesses about the release date the only thing they told me and said it's for sure was that no resellers/partners would deliver the phone earlier than sony itself. Yet vodafone DE already has it in stock and sony still does not have a release date ;)

Not that i couldnt wait, its just kind of disappointing since i probably wouldnt have ordered it from sony straight then.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stress40:
Well, no email for me either from amazon.de :eek: . I have to say that this is one clusterf*ck of a release from Sony. I have been reading in other threads that ppl are jumping ship now and cancelling their pre- orders. Sony have only got themselves to blame here. I mean, some information from Sony probably would have went a long way to appease ppl and just MAYBE ppl wouldn't be so pissed off. I guess my Z2 will probably show up some day, like the prodigal son, when I'm least expecting it. God damn it, hurry up FFS :laugh:
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chad_Petree:
So the "official launch" went by and the phones are sold out on sonymobile.de , I don't know if there are phones left on the sony store in Berlin, O2 (at least the online store) has the phone on stock and saturn and mediamarkt are still showing "available starting 05.05.2014" , no word from amazon.de I ordered my device back in March and still nothing, I think they will get their devices in may too :rolleyes::crying:

Mal als Tipp:

geizhals.de ist ne super Seite um

a) ein Produkt bzgl. des Preises vergleichen

b) anhand von Kriterien Produkte auszuwählen

und c) kann man einen Preisagenten aktivieren, der einen alarmiert, wenn ein gewisser Preis unterschritten wurde.

Aufgrund dieses Alarms habe ich gestern Abend un 10 die Info bekommen, dass das Handy gerade günstig zu haben ist (zu der Zeit bei hardwareversand.de)

Mine cost 559 with charging dock and shipping. I don't know if I would cancel to get it faster since I've already had part of my order delivered (shipping costs would double), but even Computeruniverse doesn't have the purple one in stock. Its available end of April so hopes are high for late April delivery. I'll just wait for Amazon.

Good luck and enjoy the waiting period! :)

My Amazon order is being handled atm so should ship very soon. They have the iems which I can maybe sell or use if they make the cut (I use hi-fi iems). CDon has that activity band thing which I don't really need at all (resale value and possibilities unknown) and its pricier than Amazon. I will wait and see the phone before deciding on a case or not.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stress40:
Well, I decided not to complain as it took so long to get one lol... from the start of March. I am using the original Sony cover for mine ( cause the phone is kinda slippy) plus a 32Gb sd- card. I got the Z2 + Smartband for 654€ + free delivery. I don't know what what to do with the band thing either yet but, I'm gonna give it a try... one day.
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] FateNozomi:
These are the original themes from Xperia z2 system dump! Thanks DooMLoRD!

There's also the TaskKiller.apk.

​

As you may notice that the theme for Heat and Silk are mixed up even though it was originally pulled from the Z2 firmware. Thus, I will release a V2 soon to fix it.

As for the task killer, it's totally transparent because of my modded systemUI as I set it to 100% transparency. So my best guess originally it would be either fully black or 40% transparency.

Lastly, Xperia Z stock blue theme(Air) and black theme(Xperia Light) and are not replaced so they may look like there are copies and some dissapeared because stock Z2 has only 6 themes.

The following zip file contains:

BlackThemeBlueAccent.apk (Now Air, originally Xperia)

GreenTheme.apk (Earth)

PinkTheme.apk (Heat)

PurpleTheme.apk (Silk)

Skin1.apk (Vintage)

Last but not least, ExperienceFlow2LiveWallpaper.apk

Instructions:

Reboot into recovery

Flash zip file

Reboot and enjoy!

For the TaskKiller.apk, you have to move it to system/app and set it to rw-r--r--

[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] FateNozomi:
Yeah, it dissapeared because it replaces the original themes, and you're left with Xperia Z stock blue theme(Air), black theme(Xperia Light) and orange theme (Sunny). That's why you think they are duplicates but they are not.

Edit: My bad, there's still orange theme which I overlocked XD sorry! So only stock blue theme(Air) and black theme(Xperia Light) are not replaced.
