[Xperia Z2 General] raducanmihai:
About the same design thing: Z1 and Z2 are almost the same design wise but the feel in the hand is much better on the Z2 because of the very small tweaks they make in the plastic bezel between the aluminium frame and the glass. On Z1 there is a gap but on the Z2 it's flush. What I mean is: even with the same design, you can make a difference from one model to the other with small but important tweaks.

I wouldn't mind the same design with the following "tweaks":

1. Smaller bezels: I saw the guts of the phone and I know that everything is packed up inside but if LG can do smaller bezels, so should others. Keeping the same form factor I'd like to see 5.3 in (maybe 5.4 if it fits).

2. Floating screen: this is a little hard to explain but I'll try. On some other high end phones you have the illusion that icons and anything that is displayed "floats" on top of it, closer to the surface. I'd like to see that in Z3

3. Same (or even better if possible) battery life than Z2. There is no point in having a smart phone if you need to charge it a few times a day and if you want 14 hr battery life/5 hours screen time you have to disable sync, gps, wifi or whatever (cough...iPhone). Fortunately, Z2's battery is excellent.

4. Better software: this should've been first. Everything has to work. Don't put something there half baked (like location wifi on/off or connection with Flick account in Album- worked on .55UK, doesn't work on .69TW on Z2). In my opinion, Sony should concentrate on better software! That includes the software for the camera. Many high end smartphones use Sony sensors and almost all of them have better results (cough... iPhone). With better hardware (at least on paper) Z2 should crush the competition. But, because of the software, it doesn't.

PS: 6 months release cycle is a stupidity. You, as a company, don't have enough time to develop, test and put into production a good product and the software that comes with it and you make your consumers mad by depreciating the value of their just bought (former by now) high end phone.

[Xperia Z2 General] corallus:
Back plate made out of polished aluminium instead of glass. Looks like glass, feels like glass, disperses heat much much better.
[Xperia Z2 General] amirprog:
Sounds good. can you elaborate on that please?

materials - still glass and metal?

design - still thin profile resulting in big top and bottom bezel or thick profile resulting in smaller top and bottom bezel?

thank you.
[Xperia Z2 General] ascariss:
for me the only issues that needs addressing from Sony is their mediocre camera software which is buggy and needs more features and better algorithm. Focus also needs to be fixed, the current Z1 camera sometimes takes too long to focus.

Also no, more megapixels on the same sized sensor is a big no no, especially if the rumour of the next sensor being smaller in size and larger in Megapixels, also a big no no, but clearly Sony does not understand this, it's like they don't even own a camera division, oh wait.

[Xperia Z2 General] corallus:
In all fairness tho there's already been a z1 too
[Xperia Z2 General] Hellscythe:
God I hope so. This rectangular prism design of the Z, Z1, Z2, Z Ultra etc really seems like Sony isn't trying anymore in the exterior design department :/

And really no offence to you Ben Ling...but it kinda looks the same as current gen Xperias....but then again you are probably trying to be realistic and follow their design principles, which many "concept renderers" fail to do haha
[Xperia Z2 General] tOrNadO™:
I don't know.. I just told u guys what i saw.. :silly:

Actually Ben Ling has only posted Z1/Z2 pics in the OP.. He may be preparing a new design to put as his concept.. Or may be waiting for Sony to.. :silly: Although i like the specs.. Its good.. :good:
[Xperia Z2 General] Hellscythe:
oh what really? Because under the camera it says 25.7MP and there is a dedicated camera button too lmao. So i thought it was his render, since it also said concept by ben ling
[Xperia Z2 General] Ben Ling:
yes it's my render
[Xperia Z2 General] fcvwg:
dsdsdsds

I do not like your design, basically for one reason, the top and bottom are the same size as in XPERIA Z2, for my taste, the XPERIA Z3 would have just cut the top and bottom edges to hopefully look like the XPERIA ZL
[Xperia Z2 General] Ben Ling:
guys another new render...
[Xperia Z2 General] nreuge:
Interesting concept!

But 554 Ppi Pixel Density would not be very useful, since the human eye limit is about 300-330 ppi... It would just be a marketing argument.
[Xperia Z2 General] Ben Ling:
Quad HD display with 5.3" will have 554 ppi pixel density ;)

Yes, I do know, but precisely, I don't see the point to have Quad HD on screen smaller than 6"...

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FuzzyNL:
I've been running a prerooted (http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2250824) rom since july last year but I wasn't receiving OTA updates so my Galaxy S4 I9505 was still stuck at Android 4.2.2.

I tried to unroot and remove with the SuperSU app but I still didn't get any updates through OTA or Kies.

Then I tried to reflash it with the same rom I installed last year which failed. So I decided to grab latest 4.4.2 rom from http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=27642 and flashed it with Odin which also failed.

Right now my phone is off and its not turning on anymore, how bad did I screw it up? Is there any way to get it working again?

Thanks!

I think it's because you flashed a firmware that is not for your phone. You probably have bricked it and there is no way to recover it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Nico3d3:
I was using my phone flashed with Mokee Nightly rom and everything was working great until the screen stopped working for no obvious reason. It happened yesterday, I tried to use the phone and the Home button didn't open the screen anymore. Then, I tried to reboot the phone but all I could see was the blue led flashing as if the phone was booting but there was nothing on the screen. When I got back home, I tried to repair the problem and I was able to enter download mode, so I used that opportunity to reinstall the factory firmware with Odin. I was able to get it working but I'm just wondering what was the cause of this? I know I'm a serial flasher so maybe something got ****ed up while flashing it and it caused it to bug later?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Larry2999:
With custom ROMs, especially nightlies, errors like this are not to be unexpected. Recall it is still undergoing development and may not be bug-free. If you must stick with this ROM, I'd suggest you wait for the stable now that you know what may happen.

Have a D802 on three uk. Like others went down the route of rooting and flashing cm 11 on my device. All quite straight forward, never had a problem... decide to purchase an s5 so now need to sell my lg. Originally flashed a stock Rom through TWRP and now unable to receive data. Though it was a problem with the rom so I flashed LG firmware through update tool. And have three UK firmware on but same problem!! All toggles selected..data,3G, airplane mode on off, reboot. ..nothing. my 3 UK sim works fine on my s5 so not that. I can get signal fine but no data. Would really appreciate some help as I cannot understand what's the problem. Especially as I can get signal but no data and works fine in my s5 ?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LenAsh:
I suspect you didn't do a FULL wipe before flashing....

Suggest you try that first as the APNs for 3UK may be corrupt.

You could try manually setting the APNs but honestly, the Factory Reset option and reflash is easier and fully effective.

Am quite new to the sony xperia device and if this is the wrong place to post this question, kindly ignore..

I have a Sony Xperia z1 Compact (D5503) device running 14.3.A.0.757 (latest sony update using PC Companion). This device has not been unlocked and has not been rooted at all.

My question - is there any way to root this phone at the current level i.e. 14.3.A.0.757 (with or without downgrading) without unlocking the bootloader?

Thanks for any support in advance.

The easy way to upgrade

I was using xelencin's 2.24 version. I backed up with SPB backup, used the installer above, and installed 2.26. Then, when the installation was complete, I prevented the customization (after the screen align, etc., when the 'customization will begin in 3 seconds' popup appears, perform a soft reset with the stylus), and restored the backup.

This seems to work fine.

I then used total commander to copy the /extended_rom/ T-Mobile customizations to the miniSD and installed a few of them -- smart dialing, phone_light, PP_Extversion (not sure what that does), and the updated Hotspot login.

Of course, I didn't get the advantage of cleaning up the system, but since I did a start-from-scratch build a month ago, that wasn't necessary.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] hesh:
Re: The easy way to upgrade

This seems like a good idea. I might try to something like this myself. I ended up uninstalling the Hotspot since we don't have T-Mobile where I am and I figured it had to do with their network.

A question... how do you disable the "message sent" notification for SMS messages? I've searched the forum but I can't find it anywhere.

UPDATE: Nevermind about diabling "message sent". I found a the hack for it.

I'm also using xelencin's 2.24 version, I been happy with it, "Upgrade or NOT to Upgrade - That is the question". How's the radio working?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] prestonmcafee:
Radio is fine

The radio is fine.

I tried running some of the t-mobile customizations from 2.26 and that caused things to slow down. Understand that I am doing these over xelencin's customizations, so there may have been conflicts. Here is what I installed (these are abbreviations):

enable ntiz

smartdial enable

edge icon

generic conn settings

generic ui

other conn settings

security policy

phonelight

pp extversion

gprsandedgeDTMF

ringtone

WISPA - (this is HOTSPOT)

camera

This turned out to be a bad idea and I rolled back to the customizations I was running in 2.24.

I'm going to wait for someone to sort out what the entire list of customizations is. Xelencin renamed the customizations (in a way to make them understandable) but that makes it harder for me to match them up.
