Yesterday HTC released an update for one m8 users enabling 4G lte network. Do we have same option of enabling 4G through software update?
[Xperia Z2 General] AlanDS:
HTC had announced initially that it would enable LTE support via a software update for Indian LTE bands.. Now they have kept their promise.

I don't think Z2 will ever support Indian LTE bands.
[Xperia Z2 General] paras:
In India we have the 02 model which does not support lte.

The plastic bit is what i'm referring to. its the charging port.
[Xperia Z2 General] ajai_dev:
Yep it is not taken out in this video its still attached to the body. The charging port does not have any sort of hook to keep it attached its a design flaw I guess, there is only some glue that keeps then bit attached they should have used some sort of metal hook to keep this in place.
[Xperia Z2 General] One Twelve:
Oh yes i see what you mean, only the magnetic charging flex bracket (plastic bit) is removed.

Hmm, but its pressed up by the bracket & the battery. The same design is also used in the Z, ZU, Z1 & Z1c. This is why i'm sceptical about design flaws. The glue is what keeps the phone water tight and should be good even in boiling water. CPU is never allowed to get that hot.

The key is to discover how the problem is caused. You said charging cable, but since its magnetic you're not even pressing it in much, it should attract when in close proximity.

I still don't understand how the port gets lose :confused:
[Xperia Z2 General] ajai_dev:
I had a Sony Z it did have a very different port design than the Z1/Z2/ZU and was not magnetic instead relied on gravity while charging in the dock. The points are inside the body and not on a separate bit like in the Z1/Z2.

I had a long talk with the Sony service center people they said its possible that continuous movement of that port back and forth while taking the cable in/out maybe the reason why they are coming loose. If that is true no amount of glue can keep the thing in its place in a long run, when a cable is connected/disconnected it will cause the smallest movement and can amount to gaps forming in the glue. I have understood where things stand and using the magnetic port for charging everyday is a bad idea since it can void that waterproof seal.
[Xperia Z2 General] One Twelve:
Which means it should be a widespread problem amongst those that use a cable for charging instead of sony's dock.

Balance that with using the usb port everyday will affects its integrity as well. So the idea was using the magnetic port means no opening & closing flaps every day and getting better integrity.

you know what bro the 45K to 50K is worst price range...so much worst to hear...uhhh my wallet..is gonna be so Sad...

hope its upto 45K ...damn its too long wait.
[Xperia Z2 General] kannanX10:
as I earlier stated pricing seems to be around 47k.........so Market operated price(MOP) would be 44-45k,so dont worry
[Xperia Z2 General] badelemental:
Well after checking out lot of news I think I am going to wait a month to see the price drop. Initial price seems to be around 48K. Anyways by the time price drop happens we can check if LG's G3 have anything new in store for us. So basically I will be waiting till June or Mid June then get Z2.
[Xperia Z2 General] KyleSforza:
I'd actually like it if its above 47k, that'd mean we'll get 4G version. :D
[Xperia Z2 General] kannanX10:
no...... we r getting non-LTE(3G) version.......D6502
[Xperia Z2 General] unmaskedfalesh:
I dont think getting 4G LTE makes any sense in India. Very limited areas inside very few cities have 4G coverage so what is the use? Next year new smartphone or after 2 years we buy new phone what are we gonna do with the old model then...

Also Sony has no intention of selling 4G handsets in India its clear from their support page of Z2 and if you prefer you can always import 4G capable model from abroad.
[Xperia Z2 General] pandurang_m:
One month waiting after launch is the best thing.
[Xperia Z2 General] unmaskedfalesh:
its too long wait already as of now it should have been launched and we would already have seen the price drop.
[Xperia Z2 General] badelemental:
True ... the wait is just killing us. Sony might have lost a number of consumers who could not wait and went for crappy S5 or One M8.
[Xperia Z2 General] Abhi Dahiya:
If it's priced between 45-50k than it must be a 4G version(which actually is not going to be the case)

That price for 3g version is gonna suck really hard. . . :mad: a phone that has already lost sales due to delay will be sureshot DOOMED at that price! :(

I hope for around 43-45k

Well my experience with them was good, I had gone there to get charger replaced as it was charging phone slowly, they refused saying that was normal charging speed, so I had to show them imput current of my nexus 7 charger and that charger using GSam, took 5 mins to convince them and got a new one

General question

Guys i am a newbie on this forum and i just have 1 simple question

I have upgraded my Z2 to the official update(17.1.2.A.0.314) BY MISTAKE and due to that my battery life Sucks

My question is that is there a way that i can rollback to the previous version without rooting.

If yes please shame the links as i am dseperate to do that

My phone is just 2 days old and i am really disappointed by this update.

If i take the phone to a SONY SVC CENTER will they be able to flash it back to the previous version

Please Suggest
[Xperia Z2 General] bluheart:
Its really bad to hear about bad battery. In fact I got the best battery with .314

Just flash via flashtool any ftf file from firmware section. No need to root, no need to check data in wipe, thereby u retain the data also.
[Xperia Z2 General] dilpreetpuri:
Thanks For the prompt response brother.

I would just like to confirm that this ftf file you are talking about is that the official version file from sony ?

Will that void anything since it will be 1st time i will do it.

Also wanted to confirm that if i do a hard reset will that bring the phone back to the previous version or will that still give me the .314 version?

Awaiting reply
[Xperia Z2 General] unmaskedfalesh:
Yes ftf files are from official sony so no need to worry about that and it wont void warranty unless you unlock your bootloader...so no worry

and reset wont revert your phone back it stays at latest version you updated.
[Xperia Z2 General] dilpreetpuri:
Thanks Brother

I have decided to use the flash tool to bring it to the previous version

Now I am not sure which is the file I need to download

I see that on the first page links have been given for Indian version mobile

But I am not sure if that's the version I need to download and install or not

Can someone please share the link for the official Sony version prior to .314 as that version gave me good backup

Any video how to flash using the flash tool as mentioned on the first page wud be really appreciated

Please help me guys

Apps From Z3 dump seems good.. i am enjoying some goodies frm Z3.. Looks Cool with superuser mode...:p
[Xperia Z2 General] dilpreetpuri:
Thanks for the response guys

So what i am assuming and please correct me if i am wrong

The Flash Tool is what is being used to upload the requested firmware on the Phone

The FTF is the file which is the actual Firmware and when i select the model it will have a individua FTFl file as well

When i try to flash the firmware and upload the file this same FTF file will show all the versions so far for that model and then i choose which one do i need to put on the phone

So my question is that this single FTF file contains all the previous versions of firmware as well and if thats the case are all of them in an particular order(Oldest to Latest or the other way around) OR are they randomly placed?

The reason i asked the above questions that i want to roll my phone to the version just before 17.1.2.A.0.314 and i have no idea what is the name for that so if the files would be in an order then it will help me to identify which file it is and i can load it up

Can someone tell which which was the version prior to 17.1.2.A.0.314 like its number and all

IN a nutshell i need thelink to download FTF file for the version previous to 17.1.2.A.0.314

Please help me guys

Guys as a followup now i have decided to flash my D6502 to the following version(17.1.1.A.0.402) which i am assuming is the version prior to the last one ie (17.1.2.A.0.314) and i have 2 specific questions.I tried to search the forum but couldn't get a definite answer.

1.Since i am on the current version and i want to downgrade to (17.1.1.A.0.402) will that possible ,The reason i ask this is that when i was going through the link for the ((17.1.1.A.0.402)) it said that you need to have (.55/.69) version which of course is the version prior to ((17.1.1.A.0.402))

So i just want to confirm that if i can downgrade and if that would be successful

2.This one is a stupid question.Once i see that the mobile has been recognized in the flash tool before i click on the "FLASHMODE" button in case i decide not to do it whats the safest way to boot the phone back.Should i just remove the cable and then power up the phone or is there a specific procedure .

Please reply so that i can flash it

Also i found that on my current version i am using i am getting approx 5 hours of screen time with 26 % still left.

Is that Ok or its too less?

Please suggest.

Hey all, old XDA user here. I'm planning to shift from my Note 2 near Diwali and looking at the G3/M8/Z2 to purchase. I want to ask your opinion after using the z2 for past 6 months, would you suggest that phone to anyone?

Also not going for Z3 due to stupidly expensive launch prices.
[Xperia Z2 General] gautampw:
I'll definitely recommend z2, just wait for the price to go down
[Xperia Z2 General] nifty_mats:
I don't think prices of Z2 will go down in the near future. Mainly since h/w & all are identical to Z3.

Btw Z3 compact is also a damn nice phone!!!!![emoji3] [emoji3] [emoji3]
[Xperia Z2 General] unmaskedfalesh:
For downgrade you should be in flashmode but in switched off state ...and ofcourse flashtool recognises mobile as soon as driver is installed for it...and always factory reset the phone after flashing.....

also you seem to be too afraid to flash...just give it a go ....not to worry
[Xperia Z2 General] dilpreetpuri:
Well I will do it from sure

The last question I have is can anyone tell me what is the version prior to the. 314.

I was of the view that it's. 402

402

The reason I asked is that one of the members told me it's

.438 so I am confused

My version is D6502 Indian version

Please help so that I can confidently flash it

Please help me guys

[Xperia Z2 General] rhut_tiger:
Any guesses is the price drop off z2??

How much can be the drop????

And when????

Also is the eBay non Indian version covered in warranty???

Also are they still giving smart band and cover???
[Xperia Z2 General] unmaskedfalesh:
you are right about Z3 but m8 is little faster because it has SD 801 2.5Ghz but Z2 has SD 801 2.3Ghz i too got rid of Z2 a lot of defective pieces were made ...and Sony dropped ADP and refused to replace the phone.

I hope they do better with Z3.

No news on what so ever on price drop.

No Warranty for international version.

If they have old stock they are charging 48990 INR including smart band.

New stocks don't come with smart band that was only launch offer.

Hi Oscar

Hi Oscar

Just wanted to confirm with you on the NC head phones. I got them on e-bay from bangalore. I must say I am disappointed just because my expecatations were too high. I thought there would be no noise when connected but I am able to hear some of the sounds while on road, especially when I have kept my sound level at low or medium low. I was under the impression that NC works even at lower volume levels. I was sitting on a couch with volume of my TV at a higher level, and I was ever to hear the voice of TV (albeit the noise was on lower side ) with my volume level on lower side. Also when I am talking over the call I hear the ambient voice. Also when music is not playing then there is no noise cancellation.

The packaging was sealed and it looked a fresh piece , since you are the only one on this earth I know, who uses these, could you tell me if you also have a similar observations? Waiting for a quick reply.
[Xperia Z2 General] :
Lol currently i am using nc with Headphones boost mode... i wil choose "other" in sound settings instead of NC to get louder volume.. coz nc mode sound is too low
[Xperia Z2 General] KyleSforza:
lol You troll.

I have both Z2 and M8, I'm still awestruck with my Z2 till date. :) M8? That thing is overpriced POS. Never buying a HTC phone again.
[Xperia Z2 General] arindamb:
Hi,

I have been using the NC headset for some time now and here are couple of things that needs to be considered -

1. This NC headset is meant for music more than calls.

2. There is only one mic on the right side ear piece that captures the ambient noise and cancels it. So if you end up using it for calls then you will have to hold the right side ear piece close to your mouth. While on call it does not cancel out any noise since it has only one mic.

3. When connected to the phone and screen locks down the noise cancellation effect dies that how its designed to save battery.

4. U can try to the greenish tint in ear cushion which is big and it’s got some more functions to it and better off in passive noise cancelling. The different colours for the in-ear cushions has a specific task you can find the details on the net.
