Tempered glass is all you need!!!
[Xperia Z2 General] Th3DON:
Thanks Guys. Does it need to be in both sides ?
[Xperia Z2 General] unmaskedfalesh:
Its upto u..but i would suggest both sides if u dont want any cover and if u use cover just use a matte at the back and tempered at the front...
[Xperia Z2 General] stanley08:
Agreed. 4.4.4 battery is worse than previous firmwares.
[Xperia Z2 General] pratyushanand:
My usb and sim card flap is loose. It comes out on its own. I have asked sony service and i was told that it will take 2 weeks for repairing that. I have seen some usb flap on sale but not one retailer is in India.

Suggest me what should i do? Is there any place in bangalore where i can buy that?

I don't want to lose my phone for 2 weeks as i don't have any spare phone :p.

Has anyone else had the same experience or is it me that was the unlucky one:(
[Xperia Z2 General] El.Guaje:
My suggestion is. Take those flaps out. Then, take a pot, fill with some water and boil it. When water inside the pot become hot (~100 degree celcius), put the flaps into the pot and wait for 5 mins and after that, take them out.

Hot water will make flap's rubber dilate.

Wait for them to cool down and you can use them again.

This method works for me.

This video will show you how to remove Z2's flaps

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzXmsgNP2Eg
[Xperia Z2 General] pratyushanand:
Your method worked for the first time but as soon as i opened the flap it again started showing the same problem.

How often do you do it?

I am planning to buy magnetic charger but till then i have to open the flap.for charging.
[Xperia Z2 General] El.Guaje:
I have magnetic charger, I rarely open usb port.

Maybe twice a week, or not.

This problem will ve solved with M4 Aqua and Z4 Tablet :D

This method solve the problen temporary. I think you should buy a dock, DK31 is fine for charging.
[Xperia Z2 General] tOrNadO™:
Even i live in bangalore.. Search on ebay.com and import it.. U can replace the flaps yourself.. search on youtube on how to.. ;) And buy a magnetic charger..
[Xperia Z2 General] pratyushanand:
I found one at wittrigs. I will order one from there. Can you point me to some good quality magnetic charger?? I don't want to buy magnetic dock as it is too expensive. Just good magnetic cable charger.

Ps

As i searched on this forum i found that strong magnetic charger can cause magnetic port to come out. The one at wittrigs is bit expensive but its reviews is good.It is also mentioned that the magnet is not that powerful. Should i go for it?

http://www.witrigs.com/led-flashlight-magnetic-charging-cable-for-sony-xperia-z3-black
[Xperia Z2 General] unmaskedfalesh:
What is ur need actually??? Dock or cable?

And yes the port comes loose so beware before u buy any 3rd party dock or cable...
[Xperia Z2 General] pratyushanand:
Magnetic docks are bit expensive. Since i am buying flaps, i was looking for something that would limit my use of usb port. Magnetic cable charger is the one that i was most comfortable with. So i was looking for some good quality magnetic cable charger.
[Xperia Z2 General] unmaskedfalesh:
Yes..u can buy a magnetic cable on eBay its easily available .

I have been using the magnetic cable for almost a year and it works fine.

Can we flash this on indian z2?
[Xperia Z2 General] vasanth117:
Anyone received the update in India?
[Xperia Z2 General] Abhi_Josh:
Not yet , I guess we have to wait till this week end to get OTA . Any idea if we can flash the lollipop ftf file for D6503 on D6502 model ?
[Xperia Z2 General] ImAnurag:
yes you can.
[Xperia Z2 General] tOrNadO™:
Don't even think about doing that. It'll spoil your Wifi and Network chips.. Those vary from D6503 to D6502.. I have had the same experience in Xperia Z. Mine was C6602 and the international version was C6603. I had wifi drops and it was very slow and also 2g was very slow too. I had used a C6603 based FTF or any stock based ROM based on it for like a year and then i was informed that it damages the hardware big time. I then flashed C6602 FTF and made my own version of my ROM for my variant. Still it didn't do any good because the hardware was already damaged a lot. I anyway sold the device and moved to Z2.. So i suggest you guys to wait for D6502 version, i'll try uploading the FTF if my broadband doesn't act like a b**ch.. ;)
[Xperia Z2 General] ImAnurag:
varies from case to case, never had any such issue, doing it from past 2 years on Xperia handsets.
[Xperia Z2 General] bluheart:
Flashing via unlocked BL doesnt cause much problems except for wifi issues. After flashing ftf of D6503, do flash D6502 modem file
[Xperia Z2 General] Vasishta Reddy:
Strange, I never had those chipset problems on my Xperia's and wifi drops was a know issue for all xperia z.
[Xperia Z2 General] tOrNadO™:
Where are you gonna find D6502 Modem file for Lollipop when there hasn't been any yet? You can't cross flash from KK, it'll most likely brick your phone... Instead just wait for a few days, probably this weekend it'll arrive..

Its not case to case, this was informed to me by a developer who works at Sony Mobile. Those vary from region to region variants.. BTW, it slowly damges your hardware, not at once.. ;)
[Xperia Z2 General] unmaskedfalesh:
Only few people left for sony now..lets see how much sony can hold after pricing is revealed...
[Xperia Z2 General] badelemental:
Well Sony needs to worry about LG too. Because they are holding a event on May 27th and may announce G3. If leaks are true then it will be a beast and if they can manage to sell it quickly then it will heavily damage Sony sells.
[Xperia Z2 General] KyleSforza:
Yeah, good luck getting an inferior device at a higher price. Because M8 is 49.9k. :p
[Xperia Z2 General] Abhi Dahiya:
Nobody buys HTC and LG flagships(even phones) in India.

So there is no point in losing sales due to any of them. I'm seeing this trend from last 2 yrs at least.

Either you will find people owning a galaxy OR xperia.

And even if z2 is priced same as S5/m8 it's a much better than deal than any of those two devices. Z2 is impossible to beat 'RIGHT NOW'
[Xperia Z2 General] KyleSforza:
Totally Agreed.

I just don't trust LG with my money, idk why. Their build quality just isn't that great. I'd even pick a Samsung over a LG device.

And Z2 is the highest speced flagship atm, M8 and S5 don't come close to it (S5 does, more than M8, because no one will pay over 40k for the crap pixel).
[Xperia Z2 General] DooMLoRD:
I am getting tired waiting for the Z2... So many delays... Might just skip it for the Z3...
[Xperia Z2 General] Abhi Dahiya:
Tired waiting? :confused:

I think you already know the launch date

And it would be better to wait for Z4 if you wanna skip on Z2, because Z4 will come with S810(64 bit, A15+A7 octa core) processor. Extremely huge leap up from Z3 :)
[Xperia Z2 General] DooMLoRD:
tired of waiting because its already becoming available in most places around the world :(

Z4 is one year away :p
[Xperia Z2 General] lathiwala_99:
I would disagree with your point on the build quality of LG. Agreed that they have been using plastic for their phones but the build quality of G2 is good and I mean good as one of my colleague has been using it for the past year and I have played with it.

But still LG doesnot have that brand recall or trust of consumers in India but I think they are changing it with the help of Google.

I would have bought HTC M8 but the atrocious pricing along with that crappy camera does not allow my consciousness to give HTC my money and S5 is no way near to both of them.

Anyways back to SONY..this wait is killing us..please SONY release the damn device so that you can take our money!!
[Xperia Z2 General] paras:
Take my money already

[Xperia Z2 General] kartoonz:
yea not many people buy htc, but its not that bad after all... i have been using the one x for nearly 2 years now and it does not mean that people who buy htc are unaware...its a gr8 device minus the battery and not all phones are perfect... heck i got it over the crappy s3 back then....more over i see so many issues raised in the z2 section of xda, thats not the case with m8 (not as many issues)... but still here i am still wanting to get my hands on the z2..... having said that i still hate the ugly black htc bezel on the m8 :silly:
[Xperia Z2 General] badelemental:
Same here. The wait is just making me crazy. If Sony announces Z3 in August then it will hurt real bad. Sony needs to keep Z2 for this year at least.
[Xperia Z2 General] KyleSforza:
I wouldn't change my phone before Z4 even if Z3 is made up of diamond and ships with 64 bit S810 , LPDDR4 8GB RAM and a 4k display with 8000 mAh battery. xD Also it'll be a new design, so it'll have its flaws, just like the Z, which made me skip directly to the Z2. Z4 will be more refined.

I just don't like the number 3 "teen tigada kaam bigada" xD

And I think M8 is inferior because of that camera, I'm not really sure how it performs, but heck even my 2011 Ray has a 8MP snapper on it, I think it'd be a downgrade going for a 4MP now. Also less amount of RAM and battery. Not to mention a smaller display at almost same size as the Z2.
[Xperia Z2 General] kartoonz:
ur still using the ray!!! hell its time to upgrade man....:D
[Xperia Z2 General] Abhi Dahiya:
well it looks like you haven't seen the heaps of threads abt defective M8. Almost every 2nd or 3rd M8 bought has some or other kind of defect.

But still it's everyone's personal choiceo to buy something or not. What i like might not be liked by someone else.

Z2 Availability

Hey guys, good news. I just had an discussion with Sony Center (Near Cyber Tower - Hyderabad) and they said they will be having Z2 in stock from 15th May onwards. They are taking pre-orders now for Rs.1K. Also they are having some exchange offers (I think this is store specific). I asked about price but they said they don't have exact information.

Just 2 more weeks to go :cowboy:
[Xperia Z2 General] kartoonz:
wow gr8 news...any hints about the pricing??
[Xperia Z2 General] badelemental:
They refused to give any pricing info :( I am expecting the launch price to be about 47-48K
[Xperia Z2 General] kartoonz:
damn... yeah 47-49k is possible... you pre-booking the device??
[Xperia Z2 General] lathiwala_99:
47-48k is too much...I would wait till June then for Sony to reduce price as lg is going to launch g3 at the end of may...let's wait and hope that Sony reduces the damn price.

[Xperia Z2 General] shravanchoudhary9:
guys,

i tried this batlic firmware D6503 and every thing worked only data/signal lost so i reverted to stock. so atleast don't try this one. in past i tried same but that was Russian firmware and i haven't any issues but this does.

one more thing, if you are unlocked bootloader and having recovery working then after this batlic (sorry if name is wrong) ROM then you can flash a patch that can be found in this forum then every thing will be fine. i dont want to unlock so i simply reverted.

[Xperia Z2 General] achilles9546:
My phone model is 6502 but, I flashed the 6503 firmware, everything is working fine. But there are some glitches here and there eg:- call screen. But the most imp one is that sometimes the network name is not shown.
[Xperia Z2 General] pentium1061:
chk this out
[Xperia Z2 General] Abhi_Josh:
The reason everything is working fine for you is that your model is D6503 (LTE/4G) variant ;). Which is not officially sold in India . Sony officially sells only D6502 (HSPA+/3G ) variant in INDIA . So you had no problem flashing that FTF. :rolleyes:
[Xperia Z2 General] harshad_kp:
He must have flashed baltic firmware on his D6502 and use the path for wifi and data... After using the patch wifi and data works but still model no remains D6503... Even i have official D6502 but after flashing baltic firmware it shows D6503...
[Xperia Z2 General] Abhi_Josh:
Still no smell of lollipop in India for Sony users :( . It's been a week since D6503 variant got update .. Any idea when are we going to get ?
[Xperia Z2 General] El.Guaje:
Just some of Z3 and Z2 has. I think it is better not to wait.

Now Sony's Lolipop has some bugs and they have to fix, it will take a lot of time.
[Xperia Z2 General] unmaskedfalesh:
Well we don't have a choice other than to wait!! And no noticeable bugs from rolled update regions
[Xperia Z2 General] ImAnurag:
Well Xreality and Super Vivid mode is not working on Z2 Lollipop released firmware and yes everyone noticed it.

Even LED notification light has also got some issues. Rest everything appears fine so far.
[Xperia Z2 General] unmaskedfalesh:
I think these issues are only with those flashing firmware manually which was not released in their region..
[Xperia Z2 General] ImAnurag:
nope mate. Xreality files are missing from the Lollipop firmware itself so no user will have it working unless an update is rolled to fix it. Check niaboc79's thread in z2 app section.
[Xperia Z2 General] El.Guaje:
I don't know about Z3, but I have noticed some bugs. 1 - X Reality and SuperVivid did not work in Album app, they work fine with Movie app, because it missing mapping files in order to make it work. 2 - I can not enter to new line with lastest keyboard, that is why I wrote this on a straight line. 3 - battery, phone signal, data connection icon seems miss aligned, and also the digital clock. 4 is the quick setting. Beside that, the remaining is good, battery life is good, i got 7h on screen, on 4.4.4 I just got nearly 5.
[Xperia Z2 General] zadusimple:
My WIFI stopped working. Tried reflashing but did not work. I submitted my phone (under warranty) to the Authorized Sony Service Center , the guy told me that there is a problem with the motherboard and it will be sent for repair to the Sony Service Center and I will get it back in 7-10 days. However, I am worried as he told me that the phone will be repaired and will not be replaced as now (as on date), Xperia Z2 is now been repaired in India and will not be replaced. I am worried as I am bothered about the quality of repair and also about water proofing. Can you guys share your experience of the service centers in India?

Also, do you think these phones are repairable without loosing water proofing etc?
[Xperia Z2 General] Ame123:
The repairs done are very poor here in india atleast it was the case with mine in mumbai. I damaged my phone so i gave it for the accidental damage replacement and from there its all very bad. Instead of replacing with a new one they repaired and gave me. The speaker stopped working and there was some problem with the display too i gave it for repair again after getting back i couldnt take any good pictures with flash on in lowlight or indoor conditions the flash started bleeding my photos and for this problem i gave them my phone two times for repair and you what they said? They said it cannot be fixed!! Till now i have this problem but i have stopped goind to the service centre now. Because its just waste of time. This will be my last sony phone. Also its not waterproof anymore.
[Xperia Z2 General] tOrNadO™:
Some SSC(Sony Service Centers) in India are pathetic.. I suggest you take your phone to another service center in your city.. I have had worst experiences myself. Especially if your phone is waterproof and if its waterlocked. Their service was worst.. They blame you even if its a defective unit. But some service centers are aware of the actual policies and rules. They provide good service.. Do report about the bad service through the mail to Sony mobile.. ;)
[Xperia Z2 General] Ame123:
Have send them countless numbers of mail now i dont even get the confirmation mail anymore and i have talked with them on phones for hours but still nothing. I have learned to leave with the problem. [emoji6]
[Xperia Z2 General] tOrNadO™:
Like i said, Visit other branches in your city. There will obviously be more than 1.. Or try another city if there is only 1 where u live.. This is what anyone in here can help u.
[Xperia Z2 General] zadusimple01:
I got a message today that my phone has been repaired n ready for delivery. However upon checking I found that Wifi still does not work. Now these morons have told me that it will take 20 days to replace the PCB. This will be my last Sony phone. Pathetic service. I am bugged. And feel cheated.
[Xperia Z2 General] Ame123:
I didnt asked for any help freind. Somebody just said to share the experience which i did. And really the service centre guys are morons. And no matter whivh service centre i give my phone in mumbai for repair the phone goes to the andheri branch. They just know how to repair the budget phones actually they know anything about they just change the whole damn thing in the budget phones because they are very easy to disassemble them. The best option is to take real good care of the phone yourself thats it. If something happens even if care is taken it is just badluck. India has one of the worst service centres no matter which brand you choose, because the technicians have zero knowledge about the devices.
[Xperia Z2 General] zadusimple:
I asked the service center guys to add all my problems to the work order/job sheet but that man refused to add gaps issue in my complaint. I am stuck dont know what to do.. NO DOUBT sony has one of the worst service.. Worst than Samsung...
