Extras

So, mine arrived yesterday (and its ace!) but does anyone know the details on the pre-order bonuses? Specifically:

-£50 Google Play voucher (Will it really take 28 days to send an email?)

-£80 Sony film and music content (How the hell do we get hold of this through the lounge app?)

-Michael Jackson album (When is this available?)

-Smart band voucher (When is this released?)

Cheers.
[Xperia Z2 General] shotgunfool:
Sony entertainment stuff is claimed through the app - Xperia lounge

Voucher will prove take 14-28 days so you can't cancel. Contract after redeeming voucher.

If you got the gourmet society voucher if.you sign up now you get the chance to win more free stuff, I won another wireless speaker
[Xperia Z2 General] DaFunkyGibbon:
Cheers for that, the termination thing makes sense!

Can you give me an idiots guide to how to find the content on the lounge app... I had a look and only found some free games, no movies.
[Xperia Z2 General] numskull:
not sure about voucher, i think i read it should be with you within a few days.... but can take up to 28.

dont know about the £80 thing

MJ album is released mid may, think its the 14th (altho it can already be found on the web)

Smart band voucher, dont know sorry

shotgun, i envy you so much right now, i phoned dpd yesterday when tracking showed my phone had started its journey to me, but the guy i spoke to reckoned i couldnt collect it from the depot this morning as it wont arrive there until tomorrow, so far according to tracking it left leceister 6pm yesterday, birmingham hub 2 about 8pm, birmingham hub 3 at 9ish n thats it, arrrrrgh........
[Xperia Z2 General] insom:
Hi,

Can you explain to gourmet society voucher?Where we have to sign up and how we going to claim things with gourmet society voucher?

Thanks
[Xperia Z2 General] shotgunfool:
I'm currently at the cinema but from what I can remember is there is a small card in the box from your delivery that has a Web address on that is something on the lines or prizes.phones4u.Co.UK

You have a unique code to type and enter your details and you will get a sign up for gourmet society and a chance to win a prize, I won a Nokia wireless music receiver. For the Xperia lounge app, you install it, install something from inside the app called "pass" and it will give you a redeemable code that will allow you to download the games and movies.

If I remember more I will let you know.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matthussey:
Hi

I've just upgraded to an S4 and want to have my S3 as a tab for the kids. They currently use it with Zoodles turned on which locks off purchasing and visiting the home page. This works Ok but I'm wondering if there are any other alternatives.

I would still like to use the phone myself sometimes but only via wifi. Ideally having separate logins for each user would be great but I'm not sure if it's possible. The kids play games, watch videos, listen to music. Apps are currently purchased on my Google account. The phone had international i9300 Samsung software and is unrooted.

Any ideas or recommendations?

Hey all!

This questions is probably dev only, but since I dont have permission to post on dev thread, I had to pop out my question here. Here is the deal: from mid march I started building my own nightlies from CM 11 source and I use them only on my device. After 27.03, every time I flash a new nightly, my phone boots up but first I get 'Unfortunatelly, has stopped' and after that same message but for systemui process. Somewhere in CM 11 nightly thread I read that CM is now using msm8960 kernel, so I switched my builds to that kernel, but still have the same problems. If I do a full factory reset, phone boots ok with the nightly I flash, but as soon as I reboot it again, same story... I also tried with the recovery that is build with the rom itself (regular clockworkmod, 6.0.4.8, normally I use clockwork touch 6.0.4.6) still the same problem. But, if I flash the M5 release, it works with no problems... Did anyone encountered similar problems?
[Android General] buildsaurabh:
I flashed CM 11 on my samsung grand but forgot to sync the contacts with google or any other app. Titanium backup did not restore my contacts neither did CWM. But i had backed up the contacts in Kies but then Kies do not support custom ROM. I searched everywhere unable to find an answer. But then an idea clicked. I used another android phone to restore my contacts from the back up taken in KIes. Made a .vcf file by exporting th contacts to sd card. Transferred it to my original device through blue tooth. Imported the contacts from the .vcf file into my original phone. As simple as that.
[Android General] davidtc:
Good idea.

but if you make backups with more than one tools would be better.
[Android General] buildsaurabh:
I was thinking Kies would be enough without an idea of Kies not working in Custom ROM. Also the .vcf file made out of backed up Kies contacts was not getting imported due to some reason in my phone.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] singhpratik87:
What [MENTION=4412045]dabenaute[/MENTION] [MENTION=5811505]Amit77[/MENTION] suggested you is the latest 4.4.2 Touchwiz leak for our note 2, i've been using that as well and apart from few bugs that is noticed the ROM is great. To answer your long battery life question,that is only possible when using custom kernels like devil or agni where you can undervolt your phone and other fancy stuff.Since 4.4.2 is a leak there is no kernel source code so there are no custom kernels available yet for the developers of custom kernel to make it compatible with 4.4.2 TW. So what you can do is try a 4.3 TW ROM and get a custom kernel and do the tweaks which will be enable longer battery life. It's hard to tell you which 4.3 TW rom would offer you best battery life cause everyone's usage is different so you got to test 2-3 ROM's on xda and see which suits your need.Initially after flashing a ROM try it for 1-2 days to test battery life and then try a custom kernel test that for 1-2 days and then move to another ROM and repeat the same steps that way you know which ROM and which custom kernel works best on Note 2.

Make sure seller is highly rated do not buy from seller who has got bad feedback or small amount of feedbacks. Ask them before purchase if it is gonna work in the UK.

I hate how the agressive noise reduction on the Z1 causes photos to lose quality (sharpness, detail). The z1 compact is slightly improved.

But seeing as how a lot of reviews say the Z2 photo quality is excellent, I can't help but think that the Z1 is equally capable of the same quality, having the same camera module inside.

I doubt sony will improve upon the Z1/S/compact's camera because they need to sell the Z2 after all.

what about devs / ports?
