[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] venorme:
It will be a beast if marketed correctly. Also if they release sources so people can get best ROMs - many will move from Z Ultra. But what I like on my ZU is build quality if Nubia is close to it - I might get it. If it`s some kind of cheap plastic - I ll wait for ZU2
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Leechoonhwee:
It's half metal half plastic. Build quality definitely not as good as Sony but still better than Samsung i think.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mistamikel:
Anyone who goes from a XZU to a zte needs to have there head examined asap.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] VeEuzUKY:
Looks great. The problem is that usually there is positively NO development for these phones. Zero. Typically can't even get it rooted or ever get a recovery for it.. so, for me, useless.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hansip87:
Looks tempting but then again, with such form factor you need to trim the thickness or it will become harder to grab it. Plus it's not even a Sony, meaning there might not be an android update for it. Even Lenovo doesn't do anything about this.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Leechoonhwee:
Lol. Gotta give them some credit anyway.

Well I'm quite sure aosp and miui will be supported in the Chinese community. There's a miui for virtually every model from ZTE. Root is definitely possible as ZTE is a strong brand in China.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] VeEuzUKY:
Correct! 100% my view also. Great as this hardware is, it's stagnant from its day one. For me, phones and tabs are 25% hardware and 75% what down the road the manufacturer and specially amazing people like the ones in this community, build upon there. No proper support or development makes the hardware utterly useless, no matter how great it is. My almost 4 years old incredible and iconic original Galaxy Tab 7 runs KitKat at 40% higher than its native 1GHz humble single core processor and very limited RAM. It's been years of joy and fun. Where will a "ZTE Nubia" be 4 years later?.. unthinkable. In fact, I'm down to the point of only buying 6 month old+ hardware after there are already fixes, updates, root, recovery & custom ROMs for it.. till then, phones are bricks. I have a friend that quickly bought a Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 in Hong Kong.. probably the most beautiful and near-perfect Tab hardware ever made.. no proper root yet, no recovery and of course endless software bugs and Samsung bloated software that make the unit nearly unusable.. pointless. Give it a few months however and hopefully the hardware will have software to make it justice..

Chinese do not update or support anything they do. They just rush things out. It's their culture. A "support" or "update" usually means, new hardware. Support and updates don't make money. They cost money. The Chinese are not into that. There are 1.4 billion buyers.. they can dilute their needed support into voices that will never get heard and sell in the meanwhile millions of new machines..

a ZTE?.. let me laugh.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hansip87:
Actually as of now, rooting can be achieved because there is a security hole that a root exploit can, umm, exploit. So it is unsecure. If any malicious apk get installed, your phone can be ruined. So for a big company to neglect that aspect indicates that they really don't care for their phone. But it's good for the community i guess as long as they steps in right direction. :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Thiolo:
Are you willing to exchange quality of sony over zte? Btw i still have my xperia x1 100% working.. But upgraded with wm6.5 almost 5 years in my pocket..
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Leechoonhwee:
While waiting for Z2 Ultra, I actually don't mind using the ZTE for a few months. :p At least the camera should be better than my ultra now lol.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Saikyo_San:
I wouldn't change for that ZTE ever! :D

Can't stand that poor build quality and you know, ZTE...wondering how's their service, dev community, updates policy and so on. :)

Also changing for a Note is a no, no Samsung's feel like Sagem in the hand squeaky and poorly built plus dat TouchWiz man -_-

ANYWAY, "heard" a rumor from the guy that called the 6.44 inch screen size on the ultra prior to release, that the Z2 Ultra will feature a bigger screen!!! Unknown size for the moment. (esato source)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Leechoonhwee:
Wow I really hope it's a 7 inch Z2 Ultra!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] rockky:
It's been a year since Ultra's release??

Thought it was released in August.

Without a highend device in Phablet size range (T2 isn't high end) , I'm pretty sure there will be an Ultra2.

I think there's a chance that the size will be reduced!....to 6"ish.

Would make it more sellable I believe....tho I wouldn't be crazy about it.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Leechoonhwee:
That will be too similar to the Z2
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] AWFRONT:
To anyone from Sony Mobile Communications reading this thread, please make the following changes, updates to the XZU2 and you will have the most loyal customer base;

---Keep the actual display size at 6.44" or 6.8" but reduce the overall physical size of the phone (what is all the wasted space on the top and bottom). they said Samsung Note series was big but now it is a norm to have a phone at that size. Bring on the best you can. Bigger is Better and Sony can beat Samsung easily in all fronts.

---URGENT!!! A Decent Camera with minimum 20.7Mpx Rear and 5Mpx front and 4K Video and a DEFINITELY FLASH/Dual FLASH! We don't deserve to be tortured like this with a crappy camera that does not even have a flash, wake up Sony!

---DUAL SIM Version like how Samsung does with their Note series without cutting down on the features,

---Aluminum materials for lightweightness and durability and at least as thin as now possibly thinner-will be nicer with keyboard case/cover.

---Physical Keyboard Case/Cover as an option with full QWERTY setup like the Nokia Communicator series. Some of us still like this. Think of Sony Vaio DUO 11 and DUO 13 Series tablets,

---Large Battery Capacity of more than 4500MHa

---Minimum 32GB or 64GB Internal Memory with MicroSD Expansion upto 128GB. Strictly no more 16GB Versions. Apps are getting bigger in size and Android OS is no longer as user friendly as it used to be. Moving apps to SD is tortureous.

---Multitasking to launch Full applications NOT Mini applications side by side on the gorgeous display of the XZU.

---Dual Large Speakers on both sides with higher output and quality,

---Integrated Stylus Option like the Samsung Note series (why should the user carry a stylus separately when this can be easily integrated-right size)

---Multi Microphones for better audio recording-Look at Nokia Lumia Series-if they can, Sony can.

---Make the GPe Edition of the XZU the default version with Sony customizations on top and please integrate Tablet DPI settings into the future OS updates for better phablet and tablet like usage, i.e side settings menu, Notifications-Think of Paranoid Android Ros with Hybrid UI elements.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] VeEuzUKY:
Exactly! Will be same screen or bigger. What they need do is reduce the top and bottom bezel size.. is ridiculous form factor as it is.. but maybe they won't.. it's the Xperia ccurrent "trademark" design.. :eek:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] VeEuzUKY:
﻿

For the most part, I totally agree. Let me reiterate my minimum design changes:

- Keep the actual display size at 6.44" or bigger.

- Bezel URGENTLY needs be reduced.

- A MUCH better CAMERA and 4K Video recording!

- Larger Battery Capacity.

- Dual Speakers.

- A BETTER SCREEN.. enough of yellow tinted displays already!

- Display color calibration utility as on the Z1.

- Ability to change DPI for higher or lower values.

- Bring back the physical (touch ok) BACK, HOME & MENU BUTTONS like all Samsungs have, not to rob precious space of the display with the useless bottom menu bar (look at the Galaxy Mega 6.3 that has far more screen real estate for not having the bottom menu bar.. and a MUCH better and smaller form factor because of its MUCH narrower bottom and top bezels).
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Leechoonhwee:
Well. Let's just put it this way. Whatever the Z2 have, just smack a huge screen and battery. Just like the HTC One and One Max. Heck they even added fingerprint sensor to the Max!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] VeEuzUKY:
Right on, a big Z2.. perfect for us and minimum development & design cost for them. Just smack the Z2 guts into a bigger box with a bigger screen. That's it..
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
But stick an 805 SoC in it not the 801
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] alphaandomega:
Yes! Also a naked Salma Hayek and a naked Angelina Joli must personally deliver the phone to every male customer and have their way with him. So, let me get this straight: you want a smaller and thinner phone with twice the battery size, a Lumia 1020 camera, and large speakers. I got the gist of it, right? Yes, Sony, I hope you're listening - just these tiny and perfectly reasonable changes "and then you will have a loyal customer".
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] AWFRONT:
If companies like Huawei and some Chinese makes are able to manufacture phones with large battery capacity then no reason why Sony can't. I am stating the obvious, the XZU has a lot of wasted space that could be better utilize. The overall LCD size can stay the same but on the top and bottom of the phone, there is an obvious size issue unless you have never handled one. The XZU is not for everyone, Sony needs to give it the appeal of the Samsung Note series without the crappy Touchwiz treatment. One loyal customer will become an advocate for many more loyal customers.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Leechoonhwee:
I guess the whole omni balance thing have everything to do with the wasted space of the bezel and the size of the battery will determine the thickness of the device. I can live with thicker devices in exchange for larger battery :)

Indeed I'll buy the ZTE based on the specs and the huge battery. The only downside is that it doesn't have memory expansion but 128gb should be enough for me.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] AWFRONT:
Agreed. ZTE Nubia X is a really nice phone but on looks alone the XZU can easily top it. A phone without a memory card to me is not a complete piece of kit and I would always stay away from such devices for peace of mind when backing up data and memory expansion. I am happy for the device to be slightly thicker if need be for larger battery but I am sure Sony can find a way to make it happen. Where there is a will there is way. We as the users have spoken lets see what comes our way in in 4-6 months time when I think the XZU will be released to compete with SGN4 and the China alternatives.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Imdking:
Everybody on this thread talking about how there is wasted space on the Z Ultra has gotta be not so bright! Wasted space! There are components spread out and away from under the display. The thickness is not only affected by the size of the battery. The space under the bezels is not empty space. Instead of placing those components between the screen and the battery, those components are under the bezels.

As semiconductor manufacturers continue to make smaller and smaller chips and components, then the bezels will get smaller.

Recently I root my Xperia p android phone. Now I want to increase my phone battery life, but I don't know what to do please if you know about it share with me.. Help me !!

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kkoolboy:
Just delete useless apps and kill tasks frequently.

about the ram, I think you have to go to an expert or Sony service.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] XqepX:
You can not expend the RAM of any mobile phone! Sorry but you have to live with your 1Gb of RAM. If you optimize your usage 1gb is enough!

Thanks for the first answers. Here are my first replies:

Meschle: I did check that thread, and it seems that Pocket Wakeup isn't very reliable at all... Also (but this is just an aside), the Italian translation of Pocket Wakeup was one of the worst apps I ever tried, totally borking the Wiz.

And about the registry tweak... I'm just a retarded farmgirl... no hacking tricks for me, please... I just can't believe there is no "download, run, forget" apps to enable the G protocol...

Meschle: I am actually quite a bit of an IT girl, but sometimes I'd much rather go back to the farm. Case in point: MobiAlarm. To witness:

Installation notes :

- Uncompress the ZIP file in any directory in your PocketPC

- Run the CAB file, it will install a "runtime"

- Run the file called "install.app", it will install MobiAlarm[/url]

MobiAlarm link is located in \Windows\Start Menu\ or \Windows\Menu Démarrer\

The program himself is installed in \Program Files\MobiAlarm\

WHY?!? Why, I ask, should anybody need TWO installations for one godawful simple ALARM CLOCK, forchrissakes? And why does it end up tucked in a forsaken folder, with no icon anywhere? How should I be supposed to remind myself to browse up the Wizard to find a lone file among hundreds... just to get awaken on time?!?

And the punchline? I followed this guy's installation instructions: the runtime went smoothly, and his app simply never appeared anywhere. (my two cents: it found localized foldernames and aborted without any warning message).

Pat12: AlarmClock does the trick!!! No chance to get it playing Mp3s, apparently, but the ARM flavour gets the fade-in working. Thanks!

about TCMP, you are right:no next/prev button. But it's highly customizable and you can assign the otherwise useless softkeys to it. I did it and I can operate TCMP without getting the stylus out or using my greasy fingers on my clean screen

Update - In Tcpmp, reassigning the keys is in fact the smartest thing to do (silly me, not thinking about that!) so I now believe that's set too.

The only remaining thing is the "British WM5 ads-like" launchbar, with:

- Largish icons for the MS Apps (and maybe a couple user-defined more)

- Hassle-free installation, auto startup and such

So. My phone decided to download the new kitkat update that I DID NOT want. Now I have to postpone the update every 24 hours. My questions are 1. Is there anyway to remove the file? (doubt it) 2. Will it update automatically after 24 hours? My phone is not rooted but would be willing to void Knox warranty to avoid this update. Could always drop the phone off of one of their towers I work on and make it unbootable.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] wackemce7:
Ahhhhhhh

Oh no! Now I'm being told I won't be able to postpone the update after a while!!!!! Someone please help I don't want this update!!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] CravingMender9:
Since you have not updated yet, you can root without tripping Knox. Then once you are rooted, go through the existing 4.4.2 update thread and follow it. (post 873) http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=51254809&postcount=873

Later if you want, you can retain root and update to 4.4.

Excellent. Could you perhaps link a decent guide on how to perform this root?

You can use Root de la Vega or Kingo Method to root without tripping Knox. Lots of threads on de la Vega here, use any one. Or its just easier to download kingo app from their website and follow instructions.

Wooooo!!! Use the kingo software and it rooted successfully without tripping Knox and froze the update no more ****ty kitkat. We could close this one up if need be.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] FFTony:
Download the official kk version from sammobile.com and flash it using Odin. It will remove root, so you will have to root your phone again, which should be no big deal.
