Bro as most of the people who own the device have told that the output is good enough(me too using a demo unit in Sony Store) now the headset output mostly depends on the type of headset you have. Like if you use the crappy ones that comes with the phone..u cant stop complaining to Sony for that hideous act of bundling it with such a premium device.:eek:
[Xperia Z2 General] sachinaik:
Good that faux is willing to unlock Z2's speaker audio potential. Need to check if he's gonna do the same with headphone audio too...

Also good to hear that sunlight visibility is no issue for you...

M also looking to buy Z2 as m fed up with M8's camera. But many youtube videos and gsmarena says sunlight visibility is not good though. Also unless I buy a specialized earphone audio is also gonna be quiet I guess. For me audio quality is of highest priority. Pocket now has confirmed that audio listening experience is better on Z2 with NC headphones. But NC headphones are currently not available. M not sure I will wait till it's officially available...

You will get ADP most probably as the flipkart seller must be authorised dealer and in the bill there will be no mention about ADP.

It will be just 6 months from the purchase date

1) down load

2) down load life log app.

3) in smart connect go to add devices. Search for bluetooth devices and smart band.

4) yesterday night I got it connected first time. It downloaded some firmware and siding fine.

5) I am not able to get all the functions working. Try to search Web how to get this work.

I liked the few applications of smart band.

1) find ur phone.

2) smart band will vibrate if it phone goes out of range. Very useful for me who forgets phones.

[Xperia Z2 General] badelemental:
You need SmartBand App. Also first time when you pair it will update the SmartBand firmware.

Use NFC to pair. It should not take long.
[Xperia Z2 General] KyleSforza:
Do I just touch them once or keep the smartband and phone touched against each other? They keep vibrating and then keep read error if I keep them touched. :p

The only thing it has done so far is turned the bluetooth on. xD
[Xperia Z2 General] vasanth117:
I have paired the smart band. It's automatically connecting after restarting my phone.
[Xperia Z2 General] badelemental:
Well it should not take much time. Maybe turn off the SmartBand and phone and turn back on. Keep pressing power button in SmartBand for atleast 2-3 sec till you see the lights and it will turn off.

NFC is for pairing bluetooth only and as soon as connection establishes you can keep devices apart.
[Xperia Z2 General] vasanth117:
If smart band was away from my phone, band started vibrating for 3 times. This was nice
[Xperia Z2 General] vasanth117:
Playing with Smartband and z2. Finally got find my phone option working.

If you want to know what needs to be done here is how it works.

1. First of all the mobile phone should fulfil all conditions of Warranty.

2.Call the toll free CC number and register your complain and Get a Ticket Number(Note it down and keep it untill you visit Sony Service Center)

3.Visit Nearest Care center , give them the bill and the registered ticket number and they will diagnose the device and tell you if they will replace or repair it(If you want replacement just let them know you dont want your device opened thats it)

4.they will give you the estimated time and reciept

5.Go to the care center on decided date and receive your handset(Only handset not a new box is given)

Even the S5's super amoled screen loses colors and contrast at very Apparent angles. Z2's screen is way better in that aspect. Colors and contrast remain same at every angle. Only a slight shift in black and that too at diagonal angle and that too only visible in dark room.

The 44.1k price at Flipkart is back again. Can anyone tell me as to what I am missing with this deal?
[Xperia Z2 General] sidm40:
If you check out the official Sony website, they have mentioned a list of online retailers (Sony recognized). Ofcourse flipkart is mentioned here but only if purchased through WS retail. Now Sony has further mentioned that if not purchased through Sony authorized dealers, Sony will not be responsible for any claims made thereafter.

The thing here is flipkart is a very reputed online retailer, so any purchase made through them should be genuine regardless of the seller. My suggestion would be that you contact flipkart customer service.

U cant bash amoled displays like that. Amoled displays hablve the best viewing angles.of any display in the world. I am not a samsung fan and.i use z1 so i am not on samsungs side but amoleds do not loose any colours or contrast or even brighness.
[Xperia Z2 General] nhnt11:
Hey, I got my Z2 yesterday, brilliant phone.

I've got an issue though: the back panel seems loose and when I press it, I can feel it get compressed and even hear a creaking sound. I think someone else also had this issue? Another very mild issue is that the power button doesn't give me any tactile feedback when pressed, unlike the demo units I've seen at stores.

I bought my phone from flipkart (ws retail) and have applied for a replacement using the online form.

To anyone else who had these issues: did you get a replacement? Does it seem to be a common defect?

Oh, and my camera app overheats and shuts down after just a minute of 1080p recording :(
