Anyway, I have an extra Z2 that I bought for my girlfriend but she doesn't like it. If anyone is interested in, contact me for more information.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sob33316:
I actually ordered from this store. I don't have it yet, as it is a preorder. Sadly, the first ship date was the 4-20. I am still waiting patiently :silly: .

PM'd you, I think it went through at least..
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] napkun:
For those of you who bought the Z2 from e-bagel-tw, how long did it take to ship out after you sent the payment? I sent the payment Monday at 9 AM and the status still says preparing for dispatch
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AirSupply:
In my case, it only took less than 54 hours from the moment I sent payment to receive two Z2 at my house in Minnesota. DHL is lighting fast. I bought from that guy as well
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Could've shipped 2 days ago then! Depending on their stock levels. Keep us posted :)
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sob33316:
Since the shipping hasn't occurred, i am assuming they are all pushed to the 30th or 1st.

I ordered from one of the Hong Kong reseller on ebay. It shipped next day and should arrive Thursday or Friday via fedex. I had good communication and tracking which wasn't surprising considering their feedback rating.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickaysen:
I, unknowingly, ordered mine on the eve of some local holiday which delayed shipping by a couple days. Once that passed, it arrived quickly enough. I've ordered things on eBay that were located in the US that took longer. In future, I'll check observed Taiwanese holidays prior to ordering.;)

Update

I sent the ebay seller a message to see if the new ship date of May 10 is for all orders or just the new ones. They are for all orders. They are waiting on the Sony delays. He did offer me a refund and then to order again when it is in stock. I am going to sleep on what i decide.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vaelin Al Sorna:
It seems like everyone is getting their Z2 for around $800 USD? Does anyone know if they are going to be importing it into the US anytime soon? I don't necessarily mind spending the money, but if waiting just a month will drop the price to a more reasonable $600 that would be well worth the wait.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pauley:
I'm thinking it would be a while as the Z1 is online new for $600. FWIW I paid $600 for the ZL in May 2013 and it's around $500 now.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iArvee:
Awesome, thanks! Last question: I am new to eBay (I usually go on Amazon to buy stuff). Would that affect anything?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] easheer:
Just a heads up for everyone, beware of the seller genuine-only on eBay. I purchased my X2 through him for $850 based on a few recommendations on another forum from members who had successful transactions, and I ended up getting a device that had been previously used, however, it was sold as new.

Upon arrival, the box was completely sealed (with security seals in tact), plastic packaging on phone with sticker in tact, plastic protectors on front/back of phone, plastic protectors on all accessories, etc...However, after I setup the phone and imported all my photos, music etc..., I discovered about 50 photos and 40 voice files that were already on the phone. I contacted the seller and he was very accommodating and did provide a partial refund of $50,however, I did not receive a "new" phone as advertised, even though the device and packaging was completely flawless. One positive is that I purchased on a Sunday, and it was to my front door by Wednesday morning @ 9:00AM Pacific via FedEx. Also, I've had no problems with the phone to date and I absolutely love it.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hanano17:
Nope. Should be fine. I use amazon more as well, but occasionally eBay is the only place to find some things. If you were a seller and new, people would be more wary but won't matter much as a buyer. Also, eBay usually has a "guaranteed covered by eBay" some where under shipping to signify the listing as pretty safe. Anytime I buy anything there that's expensive I make sure its there.

Also, it won't work on Verizon. This version lacks CDMA support. One of the reasons I left Verizon.

On a side note, I've never imported a phone...would one from Taiwan have any differences to the one released in the UK, like updates, etc.?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickaysen:
I'm no technical expert, but I believe it's an international device. A few settings tweaks and my Z2 is functioning flawlessly on AT&Ts U.S. system.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hanano17:
Yeah, I know its the international version but I was curious since i've never imported. I also was curious because there was a thread about firmware being released and it not showing up or something. I originally was importing from the UK, which felt "safer" for whatever reason...then I got impatient and people here seem good with it lol
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonysunshine:
Im assuming the ones from taiwan come sim unlocked? what about bootloader?

Thanks
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] augie7107:
Sim unlocked with bootloader unlock allowed flagged as yes.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edge3uk:
When I ordered mine from three the guy on the phone said it was sim unlocked, which is leading me to believe it's just a retail device. If it's locked I'm going to hit the roof. I actually don't want an m8 or an s5 :( I want this one! Lol
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iArvee:
Awesome, thanks! Really excited to get mine soon!
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hanano17:
For those who got it delivered via DHL express worldwide, did it require a signature? Also how fast is that, their home site says end of next business day...seems rather fast lol
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sob33316:
I think i am going to hold off and get it on the 10th. Hopefully there will be better development by then. I can't complain about the price (769). My s4 works just fine, so there is no rush on my end. I am looking forward to getting the phone, but i also like the custom roms.

Did tw-begal only ship DHL even though it says Fedex? Was signature required?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] userg2x:
Hi guys,

I'm actually looking for an upgrade trying to decide between the M8 and S5 until I saw this one however will the one that you guys say that is on ebay (e-bagel-tw) fully work on T-Mo???? I saw a post mentioning downloading some files to make it work on ATT, what files custom files, official files?

I'm sorry but I hate when people give incomplete answers, this is not a cheap phone and it will be very painful to pay 800+ for a phone could have limited connectivity.

Thank you for your time and sharing your wisdom.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edwardlanti:
Hi,

I have the phone from this ebay seller and I can guarantee that it fully works on T-Mobile. Very good reception and LTE
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] userg2x:
Hi, did you have to do any steps or did it work right out of the box?

Sorry, but a couple more questions how is the software performance on the phone, compared to TouchWiz and Sense6? People say that the S5 lags and that is why I'm leaning towards the M8 but I want to know about the Z2.

Seconldy, the build, I've heard that there are at least 2 versions, one with aluminum body and the other is plastic, which is the one you got.

Again thank you for your time and help.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edwardlanti:
Hi,

Out of the box you'll get service, to get data there's an option that lets you download internet and MMS. You press the button and does everything for you in less than a minute.

Performance wise is very similar to a Nexus 5 since being very similar to stock. I downloaded the Google Launcher and you can't tell the difference. I had the M8 for a couple of weeks as well before I returned it and I have no regrets. Touchwiz is always going to lag no matter what.

Mine is an aluminum body with the edges surrounding the screen being plastic. I can assure that the phone build is awesome because i dropped the phone 3rd day of owning it getting out of my car :/. It suffered only a couple of scratches on the body.

Is an awesome phone with great battery life and awesome camera.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] userg2x:
Ok, I think I will go for it even thou I'll have to squeeze my wallet a little bit more. I own a Xperia tablet and I love the interface so I guess it will fit right in with it and my PS3 and PS4. Thank you yet again for your time and help!

EDIT: I just ordered the phone, I hope everything turns alright with no hassle but I'm a little bit nervous, before buying I asked the guy if it comes with the dock and NC headphones and he replied yes. Let's see how it goes. I'll be updating my case with how fast the shipping was, kind of packing and in what shape the phone came in.

EDIT 2: It has been almost a week since I got my phone and I love it, first I was hesitant because the 4G LTE reception was bad but I found out that it is because of the coverage, I get 1-2 bars of LTE and with H+ I get full bars I also need to try changing my SIM card to a new one. Anyway talking about the shipping package, well it was horrible because he shipped it on a plastic BAG, you know, when you ship something this EXPENSIVE and overseas you should at least put it on a freaking box with loads of shipping peanuts, the phone box was crushed on two corners, luckily it didn't reach the phone and everything works, cradle, NC headphones, all cool. I gave the feedback to the guy so hopefully he will ship the next one on a box. Somehow I feel like the S5 is superior on some way but the flimsy plastic and faux metal body drew me away, the M8 looks cool and Sense is awesome but I don't like the camera, however I love my Z2 the built quality is superb, the SW runs smooth and the camera is awesome.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kmac_thp:
Read through all this and for the most part sounds like its pretty painless getting the Z2 working on Att? Anyone have any issues or anything I need to look out for?

[Focus General] 123386761:
Hi guys, I recently received this Samsung Focus from my friend, it's very used, but still works. Anyways, I went to try to update it, and about half-way through, Zune software said "waiting for reboot" or something like that, and it'd been going overnight. So I tried my Google Fu, but the only tricks were to restart the phone by holding down the power button manually, or unplugging it and taking out the battery. Now the phone gets about 10s on the SAMSUNG logo, when it then decides "nope, fsck it", and proceeds to reboot. I'm new to the Windows phone platform, so please be gentle. I've tried searching on the forums, but nothing really matches my exact case.

Thanks guys!

How's the fingerprint scanning with the screen protector on? Any difference?
[General Accessories] vectron:
Gotta ask my wife, it's her phone :) Not even sure if she has it enabled. But don't see why it would be a problem. Home button is open so it shouldn't cause any problem. Due to glass being thin, it will be easy to slide the finger. I'm using on my Note 2 Seidio VITREO glass which is twice as thick, and you can really feel a cavity around home button. So to answer your question, it should NOT be a problem since S5 home button is open and not recessed too much.
[General Accessories] paesan:
Looks nice but unfortunately the link from the Anker site to Amazon US brings up a plastic film product from Anker. I searched everywhere in Amazon and can't find the glass screen protector.

White definitely looks better than the black, it gives a nice contrast. Now I wish I would have got a white phone instead.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Odin is failing on the modem, it seems. What baseband do you have installed at the moment? Many of the newer Samsungs have certain protections built in that cause issues with downgrading past official 4.3.

But it is normal for your stuff to still be there. Most firmware packages do not automatically wipe the phone while it flashes, which is why you will see the recommendation to factory reset after Odin flashes when you get stuck in a boot loop.

Many thanks for the quick reply :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Yep, you're trying to downgrade, and the modem partition is protected by the new bootloader crap Samsung has been adding since 4.3. So, you should be able to flash a custom 4.2 or 4.3 rom, as often times the newer modems are backwards compatible, but can not officially downgrade with Odin. Some people have actually bricked phones from trying, though is rare. Usually it just fails like yours, but is not a good idea to take those chances. Please make sure to do a nandroid backup and also, more importantly, make sure your EFS folder is backed up and saved somewhere safe before you get too crazy with the mods.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricotek14:
Thanks again for the info. i guess I'll stick to 4.4 for now :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
No problem. Yea, it sucks. Stuff like that is actually a deal breaker for me and makes me not near as interested in Samsungs (see my sig for phones I've used - many Samsungs) as I used to be, no matter the specs / features. If I wanted to be locked in like that, I'd probably be more interested in iPhones. You'd probably have more luck trying to sort out why the certain apps aren't working for you or wait for the developers to upgrade for KK - which is kind of ridiculous they haven't yet as it has been out since November.

[HTC One Max] Watoy:
Anyways I got the HTC one max about a month ago. Love it but lately my sounds were messing up so I called Verizon up and did a factory reset and updated to the new Ota. I cannot transfer any file in between my internal and external SD card. And before I did this factory reset when I got the phone I was able to restore my text messages using super backup pro so I'm assuming not being able to move files in between the drives is also making my restore not work. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

EDIT 1: After further research it seems the ota is the culprit. Damn it lol. I've managed to restore my text onto my old s3 and just use verizon cloud. not the viable way but it works i guess.
