[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jb_alphamale:
Same here. The upgrades FCs the new version. If anybody finds a real solution to it please post here. Stock rom with stock kernel.

Yup same for me too, stock ROM and kernel. Only the old version works.

You don't need to unistall SHealth updates, try this module.

Boot rom is cancelled from PDA?

There is a another mode ?

Help Me!

Help me!

Another Idea?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] shuflie:
Power+light+reset = bootloader mode as already posted. It does not light up though, you can only see the bootloader screen if you look at it in bright sunlight or shine a light at it. Try charging it overnight the press power+light+reset, connect it to your PC then run the upgrade. If it really isn't going into bootloader mode then you will probably need to send it off for repair to vodafone.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] lion2000:
i just had exactly the same problem, even the pc does not recognize it at all, activesync doent work, what to do please
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] cyberbob72:
I do not have hopes. There is not image on display. I have tried with power+reset+lamp hard reset - + - + Reset!!! Power+ camera + Reset!!!

Display black and nobody written of the boot loader.

Useless if the boot loader it is cancelled is not restorable. Unfortunately it goes in repair.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] fuhayer:

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] fuhayer:
what is soft+soft ? how did you get boot screen ? which phone are you using ?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] tabasco:
How it can happen? If device worked before u start upgrading maybe u battery is low. Try to charge it somehow even not fully and continue upgrading via bootloader screen.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] lion2000:
yes, universal. good news, i got it back to life, it now an i mate, can't change it, but it works.

i tried many rom version that i downloaded from buzzdev and one clicked.

most came with country id wrong etc

how can i gdt it back to O2? it does not accept it anymore?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] lion2000:
Shalom tabasco, well not really, i had it like that for a week, i evenhad it on charge for almost 3 days, the screen came at one point when i upgraded a rom, but the screen had a funy colour and it was stuck in bootloader, done all reset you can imagin, i even rand O2 to collect it for repair
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] tabasco:
:) seems to me that I created a problem for myself too. Can't escape bootloader mode. This 3 stages runs fine, but after final 100% CE screen, when I doing hard reset, writes "Clearing now" and goes back to bootloader screen :roll: How to make him alive? I even did short on backup battery (opened back cover), but nothing effective :cry:

ok ok :D i pressed several times buttons which activates bootloader and it comes to normal activity. Was it a joke or something else :D ?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] lion2000:
Good for you :P
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] tabasco:
Did u try to do as given here? http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Instructions for those stuck on Boot Screen - do all this, maybe it will solve. Be ezrat ashem :D

But anyway I'll going to make him swallow this new ROM from T-Mobile, but later, not at work... :wink:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robi959:
I haved same problems on my galaxy s2, s3, and now same problem with laging on xperia z.

Then i go to developer options and tick force gpu rendering. App is now flying and there is no any lag.

Please can developers fix this bug and make the game smooth ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestD0336:
Regarding the lags

I guess its not the problem with the app.

At normal usage, there is very less work for graphics and so it never comes into play but when you are playing a graphic intensive game, it needs a lot of graphics and the phone cannot render the gpu.

So when you enable force gpu rendering, it allocates more graphics support and also reduces the lags.

You can try clearing RAM and Used applications before playing games and also switch off internet.

Switching off internet reduces the advertisements on apps by which you can reduce some lagging.

Hope it helps and it works.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tolol:
found menu in setting, storage, remote shares, + windows shares. any have idea how to setup remote shares with windows :confused:

forgive my bad english. :fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pcpepik:
It's fairly simple:

(steps in windows are for win vista or newer, but on XP and older it should be similar)

On your Windows PC, rightclick on any folder you want to share > "properies" > "sharing" tab > "sharing" button > click on "share" button

Your phone must be connected to the same network as your PC

Add new windows share on your phone:

into "Host" field type in the name of your compurer (it can be found if you rightclick on "This Computer" > properties > (specify system settings) > "Computer name" tab > Entire computer name)

into "Share" field type in the name of shared folder on your PC

into "username" field type in your username on the PC with shared folder

into "password" field type in your password on the PC with shared folder

Tap on "save" and switch the switch next to the new created entry to "ON" position

(NOTE: some names of things in windows can be little bit different as I do not use windows in english language)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lucasmenno:
Hey there everyone~

I'm leaving here my way to get my signal back after flashing Resurrection Remix ;)

I fondled 4 evenings with this fu***** thing and finally i found my solution.

My problem was the following: after flashing the rom, my phone was havind some seconds singnal, then minutes no signal and for about 2 seconds signal again. Different Radios and everything, nothing seemed to be the right solution. On stock rom everything was fine again, so i decided to look at the efs a little bit closer.

My IMEI always was the same as under my battery. but my Serial number was different as the one from the stock (it still is, but whatever, still working) and i never had my IMEI or serial number filled with 000000.

After going back to the newest stock rom and macking a full backup with efs (TWRP) i thought i could restore the efs after flashing Resurrection Remix. Good thought but still no signal. We have to go deeper. I was looking over all files in my efs and in my backup.

I wanted to copy my backup manually into the /efs, but couldn't write into the directory. So i did "chmod 777 *" in the /efs and *zapp* my network directly started to connect and was staying connected.

To make everything a little bit more oranized i flashed Resurrection Remix again, restored efs and then did directly "chmod 777 *" in the /efs and it worked like a charm.

I saw someone had the same problem but no answer. I can't find the thread anymoe, so i hope this is maybe helping someone in the future ;)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k-semler:
You just gave everything on your system RWX permission to your /efs/ partition. The proper commands would be:

$su

#chmod 755 /efs/nv_data.bin

#chown radio.radio /efs/nv_data.bin || chown 1001.1001 /efs/nv_data.bin

#reboot

[Xperia Z2 General] arian009:
Hi everyone,

I'm sure all of you who Preordered the Z2 are quite excited and even more excited if you preordered from Carphone Warehouse or Phones4U because from tomorrow, these two retailers will start shipping out to those who Pre-Ordered.

So lets discuss the status of your Pre-Order, or wether you have recieved it not.

Have you been contacted about it?

If you have recieved it...

What are your initial thoughts?

Did you get any extra goodies or gifts along with it?
[Xperia Z2 General] mhunt407:
Holding out hope for some communication tomorrow, although the Sony reps at the Gadget Show in Birmingham yesterday were adamant nobody would be getting any until April 28th!
[Xperia Z2 General] arian009:
Ye I played around with it at the gadget show, so smooth! I didn't ask them about the release date, but I highly doubt they would know anything because sony has supposedly exclusively partnered with Caprhone warehouse and said all pre orders will be fulfilled during the week commencing 14th April. But lets just hope I'm right :good:
[Xperia Z2 General] paddylaz:
Pre-ordered from Carphone at the beginning of this month.

Website still saying the week of April 14th, so yeah between tomorrow and the 18th let's hope we hear from them.

To be fair though, I'd be happy with a delay if it's for a worthwhile reason (i.e. fixing a defect in shipments etc etc). Other than that will be gutted!
[Xperia Z2 General] shotgunfool:
Pre Ordered with Phones4U

Website states - "Delivery week commencing 14/04"

Ive had an email saying they are not dispatching until 21st so delivery date of 22nd

Free stuff i got with mine -

£0 - upfront phone cost *originally 49.99

£200 cashback

£50 google play voucher

Sony Wireless speaker
[Xperia Z2 General] arian009:
£200 cashback? No way... is this deal still ongoing?
[Xperia Z2 General] rehanraza:
and how much min/txt and data you getting with this ?
[Xperia Z2 General] PiskopatYazar:
There is no such a deal like you said.
[Xperia Z2 General] arian009:
I got mine from Carphone Warehouse

£29 Per Month

£149 UpFront

1000 Min Unlimited Text 1GB 4GEE

£100 Cashback
[Xperia Z2 General] PiskopatYazar:
Im thinking to get pay as you because none of the deals seems good enough for me especially with these kind of devices you need unlimited internet. I dont talk or text much all I need is unlimited data. After recording nice videos with that nice camera I have to upload them to my youtube channel. 1GB 2GB is sometimes only 1 video takes. I have got The One Plan from three £15 a month everything is plenty. I can even use my internet as a hotspot. HTC One M8 is £460 pay as you go the price is really attracting me I will go and check the HTC tomorrow I might go for it. I have been watching the Z2 threads already so many people are complaining so many different problems. Also we dont even know when the phone will be available.
[Xperia Z2 General] Kamran9558:
I think people will start getting their devices by tuesday/wednesday
[Xperia Z2 General] numskull:
hoping i get mine this week.... pre ordered with phones4u, getting sony srs 300x speaker, £75 cashback and £50 google play voucher, as yet ive not recieved any email regarding delivery or delays
[Xperia Z2 General] shotgunfool:
They originally only gave me £150 cashback because i complained i was on a crappy contract (Jump) and had a large buyout so the people on the phone asked their managers and gave me that discount,

when the phone was delayed i complained on the Phones4U Facebook and got another £50 cashback

Unlimited Mins

Unlimited Texts

4gb Data

See above.

I can also provide screenshots when cashback comes through if you dont believe me.

******** - Z2 pre-orders will be going out from today. To track your order give our customer services a call on 0870 111 6565.
[Xperia Z2 General] Kamran9558:
Just had a chat with handtec, and now they are saying that it would be mid may :(
[Xperia Z2 General] spikeuk76:
I've just spoken to 3 UK customer services about when to expect the handset in stores as I want to physically see one before I make the decision to purchase, anyway, he said I can order over the phone now for delivery tomorrow or it should be in stores today or tomorrow. However, I phoned up my local 3 store to check and they're not expecting stock until the end of the month.
[Xperia Z2 General] Cuchulainn:
I just gave Carphone Warehouse a call and they are not showing any stock in the warehouse, so still a couple of days to wait for my preorder.
[Xperia Z2 General] Sh4dovv:
So their tweet is false? What is going on over there in UK? 11:32am in London, surely if you were receiving in the mail some would have it by now?
[Xperia Z2 General] dwoodwar:
Phones 4u web site now showing expected delivery as 22 April
[Xperia Z2 General] edge3uk:
15 a month plus 550 for the phone works out as about 38 quid a month over two years. Throw in a Bluetooth speaker and it's probably a better deal?
[Xperia Z2 General] fatguy666:
I'd imagine you could always get a better deal buying the phone outright but £550 is still a lot to be forking out in one go.

Half wish that I'd done that rather than waiting on Three, they're taking forever :crying:
[Xperia Z2 General] stress40:
Tell me about it. .. Pre- ordered on 8th March from amazon.de and I am still waiting too. For me this is the longest wait in history. 6 weeks and counting lmao :confused:
[Xperia Z2 General] paddylaz:
Just a heads up to anyone who's ordered from Carphone Warehouse, mine was meant to come on Saturday but obviously it was Easter. Anyway despite no text message (as promised) being sent to me to confirm my delivery to the store, a check of dpd tracking show it'll be at the store today in an hour.

Bottom line, if you're getting delivery to store/home via DPD, it might well still be coming even if you haven't received the usual text. Check your tracking page.
[Xperia Z2 General] kersey:
Have got mine on pre-order with Amazon for £50 less than CPW but am finding it very difficult not to get tempted to order from CPW and hopefully get it within a few days :confused:
[Xperia Z2 General] Kamran9558:
dont do it, you can buy the dock and other accessories with those 50 £ :)
[Xperia Z2 General] kersey:
Ha ha, yes I know the wait will be worth it for the extra goodies I can buy from the £50
[Xperia Z2 General] PiskopatYazar:
Three has got £12.90 unlimited data sim only as well. 200 mins unlimited texts and data.

12.90 x 24 = 309. 60

£550 at Amazon plus £50 voucher to spend

£859.60 in two years

Cheapest all you can eat data +600 mins + unlimited texts

£49 upfront cost

£41 x 24 = 984

In total £1033

That means £173.40 saving in two years. That's a lot of money
[Xperia Z2 General] edge3uk:
The cost of my contract, with no upfront cost, less 550 for the phone and 120 for the speaker works out at £314, so yea, £5 more expensive. I do get an extra 100 mins though. It's a better deal for me for sure.
[Xperia Z2 General] PiskopatYazar:
That speaker sells for £60 in Amazon try to sell in eBay you won't get more than £50 don't make self feel Okay mate. Truth hurts I know.
[Xperia Z2 General] edge3uk:
Ah grow up. For the sake of 60 quid I really wouldnt notice. Acquiring a phone on a contract is clearly the most popular method. Not everyone has 550 quid to just drop on a phone with all other bills and whatnot coming out. I'm certainly not going to miss the extra 2.50 a month I'm going to "lose" by not buying outright. Lol.

For the record I have zero intentions of selling my speaker?? I plan on getting a LOT of use out of it. Probably about 50 hours a week use at work....
[Xperia Z2 General] kobz1973:

I'm annoyed that I didn't put a preorder in when I saw the price drop to 543 :(
[Xperia Z2 General] Shaady:
Mine came this afternoon and WOW is all I can say. What a piece of kit it looks and feels amazing in the hand.

Coming from a Lumia 920 and it makes that feel like a toy its so nice to hold. No issues for me with the screen using Lux with it and it seems just right for brightness levels.

Just a quick thing for anyone who gets one...the quick start guide (yes I read it) says to charge it for about half an hour before turning it on for the first time. Would recommend doing that as I have seen on some other forums that some people havent done it and had some issues with the battery life afterwards. Did mine for a little longer because I was at work and right now its sitting at 62% and reckons that its got another 2 days 2 hours in standby!
[Xperia Z2 General] paddylaz:
I was always told best thing to do is turn it on, let it drain completely and then give it a full charge?

To be honest these days I'm not sure any of it matters as much as it used to.
[Xperia Z2 General] BanziBaby:
As far as I know lithium-ion batteries are not designed to be fully discharged as that causes them to wear out quicker & gives worse battery life.

Seems most of the networks & phone shops now have the device apart from 3, they are still saying dispatch on the 1st of May :crying:
[Xperia Z2 General] mujj:
My upgrade is due tomorrow, but I'm still waiting on O2 to release it. They haven't even given a date, just that its the week commencing 28th April..
[Xperia Z2 General] HlmRan:
I am on EE's friends & family scheme, and I got the handset free, I get U/L minutes & texts (roaming inclusive) 10GB double speed 4G data, and I pay £28pcm.

I can't speak for others on a contract, but I have no complaints :)

With regards to potential early adopter issues, then I have a warranty and insurance to cover that, should it arise. 5 days in and no sign of any issues yet.

The phone gets warm if I'm hammering it, but just warm, not hot, and certainly nowhere near over heating.
[Xperia Z2 General] stargate1000:
Well got mine this morning....not a happy chappy.

I had a wonky screen at the top right. A wonky glass panel to the rear and on the top aluminium where it meets the screen surround the anodised layer was scraped! Wtf.

Oh and the mic at the top edge...the frikkin hole was drilled wonky.

I mean come on...quality control was either pissed or at lunch when they made my phone.

Any I took it straight back to carphone warehouse, who to be fair were spot on. However they don't hold any in store and I have just swapped it for the s5 in a complete huff. Oh boy what a **** head of a move. Its sh@t.

So im going back tomorrow to see if they will take it back (the s5). Not sure if they will?! As there is nothing wrong with it?

Sim free by the way. I want a working not dodgy z2!!!!

Oh the joys of compulsive behaviour!!!. :mad:
[Xperia Z2 General] TheOnlyIntruder:
Well, first impression - The phone is gorgeous! It really does have that premium feel. It looks at the iPhone, laughs and tells the iPhone to eat it's heart out.

Getting used to kit kat is a little annoying, I'm not used to having the dedicated menu button so in each application I use I'm hunting around for the 3 dots.

The screen itself though is fantastic, colours are really vibrant and clear, the screen brightness however when maxed out compared to the One X at full is a touch dimmer but not that much, when set to auto the levels are set correctly matching the One X but with the advantage of more colour! :D

Speakers I'm really impressed, very clear and well balanced after all, they're only small but the phone is capable of produce much louder sound than my One X.

Only things that have annoyed me with the phone so far though are, inserting the microsim, it was really difficult, you need to have small fingers or have nails (I ended up using tweezers to pull out the simcard tray) and inserting an sd card I had almost similar trouble having large fingers almost finding it difficult to push in. Conversely I don't mind these issues because it's unlikely that I'll be removing the simcard and sd card often.

The other issue is the volume rocker, if you have large thumbs/fingers, you will be finding that you have to press the buttons with your fingertips otherwise it's easy to turn the screen off but these are fairly minor issues and I'm sure I'll get used to the buttons

I'm still playing around with it and getting everything set up and used to the phone so I''ll post again later when I've had a good and proper mess about with it (such as how much battery use there will be after having a video/anime binge) but till then, here are some simple photos.
[Xperia Z2 General] Yaky Peanut:
This is very worrying.

What frustrates me is Sony haven't issued any real statement. Why do businesses not learn that the best way to keep customers happy and keep the customers as customers is to be open and honest rather than trying to sweep everything under the rug!
[Xperia Z2 General] kersey:
That's why I'm sticking to my Amazon order. With such a great returns service if there's any sign of dead pixels or misaligned glass, its going back for a another one.

Hope you manage to get yours swapped for another Z2
[Xperia Z2 General] stargate1000:
Yep it really is worrying. Am I going to get another duffer or will I strike it lucky.

I'm hoping its just the odd one or two and I don't get stung again. I loved the phone though but I just couldn't keep hold of something like that when I had forked out £550 quid.

Grrrrrr.
[Xperia Z2 General] TheOnlyIntruder:
Got them on imgur now if you'd like to look at them in closer detail. Xperia Z2 with HTC One X
[Xperia Z2 General] mujj:
:D Thank you so much. Since I have a One X+ it will be quite similar to me. The speakers and screen seem great.

The gripes you mentioned aren't too bad, but how does the size of the phone feel? I remember when I first got the One X I thought I wasn't gonna go bigger from now on.

Hopefully the battery is good, because having used the One X and One X+ I suffered on that regard. That's one of the main reasons I've decided on this phone.

Thanks for the photos as its a good comparison. But this just makes the week before I get mine feel even longer :(:p
[Xperia Z2 General] paddylaz:
Do you have any pics? I don't get what you mean by wonky screen/wonky glass panel?!
[Xperia Z2 General] stargate1000:
Unfortunately I never got any.

However hopefully I can give you a better description.

The front screen was misaligned on a rotation so the top right had a gap and bottom left had one too.

On the rear It was similar but gave the illusion that the Ali frame was skewed ( don't think it was it was the glass misaligned.)

I'm hoping my next one is fine. Just got to see if carphone warehouse will take this plasticky mess back. (S5)
