[Xperia Z2 General] Teknohtc:
I got this phone 2 weeks ago and i love it! The only things are yes the BL is locked by Hell and the sound from the headphones and speakers are pretty low. There is a MOD to boost the volume like on the z1 but, it's only available on ROOT. Hopefully, the DEV's can find an exploit and be able to have ROOT on a locked BL like on the z1. Also, BTW Hell went cheap with the accessories, with some ****ty ear buds,not even in ear, and a usb cable and charger. Good thing i kept my magnetic charger cable from my Z1 :)

Can anyone confirm that the unlocked version from the sony store has an unlockable bootloader?
[Xperia Z2 General] enrique71:
Phones sold direct from Sony (at the Sony Store) always come with an unlockable bootloader. Units obtained through operators almost always come with locked bootloaders.
[Xperia Z2 General] hidea:
I just had a friend with a Sony Store sim-unlocked Z2 verify this too, and indeed the sim unlocked model from the Sony Store has unlockable bootloader.

Edit:

I picked up a Sony Store Z2 myself. It has unlockabke bootloader.

Finally received my pre-order from the Sony store Eaton Center Montreal

Haven't had a chance to play with it yet. I only held the phone and it's much lighter than I was expecting.
[Xperia Z2 General] cellphones4fun:
Does it come with the noise cancelling headphones or any other accessories?

It would totally suck if it didn't since I also shelled out $700 for the pre-order (the noise cancelling was actually one of the selling points for me).

Also, did you get the black one? I ordered a white one and they said that won't be available until early/mid June :silly:
[Xperia Z2 General] h_zee13:
I got the black one and it didn't come with the noise cancelling headphones. Just the generic headphones

The phone is a 14W19 version so based on this thread, these are the issues: the camera is slightly off center ( doesnt affect the image quality ) , tiny gap at bottom left .
[Xperia Z2 General] BULL3TPR00F:
I picked up mine from Wireless Wave in Toronto on Tuesday. Of course since Bell is the ONLY CANADIAN PROVIDER to carry the Xperia Z2 at the moment, my phone is too bootloader LOCKED by Bell (stupid bastards), and DID NOT come with the noise cancelling headphones.... sucks monkey balls but i still love the phone..

we need root for locked bootloaders and then i wont even care anymore..
[Xperia Z2 General] Turbojugend:
Been away from Android for a while, but thinking about picking this phone up. From what I see, if I get it from Bell, I'll need to wait until someone figures out how to unlock the bootloader to use custom roms, or at least wait for someone to come up with a way to root it to customize the factory rom?

Thanks.
[Xperia Z2 General] Gitaroo:
any news on the new firmware coming out for Canada? Got mine from Sony style.ca unlocked but still stucked with .55 firmware :(. Sony is usualy very quick with updating their unlock phones, like Z1 but Z2 seem to be really slow, I think we are like 3 FW behind.
[Xperia Z2 General] emergent_cypher:
Does anyone know if the root exploits work on the locked Bell phones? Do you need an unlocked bootloader to get root?

Do the sony stores actually have Z2's in stock, or is it just for those of you who preordered?

Does the snapdragon quad-core version of the S5(SM - G900i) actually have the hardware inside it to be capable of receiving FM radio, rooted or not?

That's one thing i think Samsung made a huge mistake with, not including an FM radio, don't know about other countries but here in Australia FM radio is still hugely popular, i was quite pissed when i looked and didn't find one when i powered mine up for the first time. We don't have unlimited mobile data in aus so all this streaming BS is too costly.

Thanks for any help.

I still think an FM reciever is more pratical use than a heart rate sensor. But I dont mind because most people dont listen to FM radio anymore (the last fone I own that has FM radio is HTC Evo 3D)

The answer is no. There is no FM reciever built into the Galaxy S5 or most of new phone nowadays.

All you can do is listen to in through online broadcast.

Sorry for ultra late reply......I flashed the taktiK kit kat rom for this and for some reason the tablet when booting up, would show the boot animation then go to black. The only way to see the screen is if you put the tablet in charger and even then, it only stayed on for so long. BUT..... I found out the keys to boot it in recovery and managed to revert back to regular rom..... had me scared to crap.......but was so simple to fix..... :P
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Brizors:
Like the title says, I have an unmodified SPH-L710 bought from Virgin Mobile and I am trying to read the charging amps using different chargers/cables.

I have tried:

Galaxy Charging Current *Lite*, which gives a n/a and 0 reading.

Terminal Emulator, with code "cat /sys/class/power_supply/battery/current_now" returns that the file does not exist or something similar.

Battery Charge Source Current, which read unknown charger and 0.

The only app that seems to half-heartedly work is Battery Monitor Widget which sometimes gives me a reading but I feel it's inaccurate due to how the refresh does not update when told to, it updates very slow/on it's own and reports seemingly random amperage.

I understand that a "data" cable limits charging to .5A and a "charging" cable charges a.9A, also that the Galaxy S3 max pull/draw is .9A.

My other question is how can I tell if I am using a "data" cable or a "charging" cable, especially since I can't seem to measure charging amps.

So I'm basically trying to get at:

1. Why won't my device show charging amperage with the above apps, and if there is another app/method I should try?

2. How can I tell with my current situation which of my cables are "data" cables and which are "charging" cables.

Does anyone know where I can find a modification to just boost the volume of the speakers on this phone? I've searched these forums, I've searched Google but to no avail. I'm not looking for crisper sounding audio, just something that increases the decibels of the speakers output. Even if someone knows what files I would need to edit would be a great help. I found something for the m7 but not for the m8.

Something like this would be perfect.

After flashing the Harman/Kardon mod, I noticed a significant boost in speaker volume. It is posted in the development section. You will need to flash an updated firmware file though (adsp) as well (you can find it in that thread as well).
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wex28:
Dear members of XDA,

My phone froze, and I got the batery out and back in, and when I powered it on, suddenly everything went back to factory settings (Just like when you start the rom for the first time). I was like, what happening...But anyway, I started to set back everything as it was.

When I restarted my phone, the same happened. Factory reset again. The funny part, is that the phone storage shows there's 128MB of total internal space (but there should be around 1gb). Then I decided to try to re-flash my rom I was using (TakTik custom rom - worked fine for months), but I can't do it.

I did full wipe, but when I try to install the rom, it takes 3-4 seconds and it says it's installed successfully, but actually if I go to "Show logs" (In clockworkmod), there was an error saying "No enough space on the phone" (but I did the wipe, as I said).

Now, as I did this, when I try to power on the device, the htc logo shows up, vibrates once as It should, and after a few seconds vibrates 7 times in a row. And it's stuck there.

(By the way, I can still boot into clockworkmod)

What can I do to unbrick my phone?

Any tips? :(

I appreciate your help very much!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mickeyasamoah:
Maybe one of your partitions is curropted or something. You can try erasing and formating your boot,system and data partitions from bootoloader.

Just boot your device into bootloader and connect it to your PC.

Now enter these commands one by one.

fastboot devices

Just to be sure your devices is really connected.Then...

fastboot erase boot
fastboot format boot

fastboot erase data
fastboot format data

fastboot erase system
fastboot format system

If you are able to do this successfully boot into recovery and reflash your rom.

If this doesnt work, try using the stock PD15IMG.zip. Download it, put it on your sdcard.make sure the name is PD15IMG.zip and reboot into bootloader. Once asked wether u want to update press volume up and wait for it to complete. Once its done, Your device would be unrooted.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wex28:
Actually my PC doesn't recognize my phone. When I connect to it, the "FASTBOOT" title on the phone goes "FASTBOOT - USB" for a second, then goes back to "FASTBOOT", 3-4 times, and stays on "FASTBOOT".

What I am doing wrong?

The "fastboot" command works in command prompt, but it doesn't recognize the device.

Thanks for you help though :)

I downloaded Minimal ADB and Fastboot from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2317790 (version 1.1.3) and installed it, however my PC still doesn't recognize the device.

When I plug it as I choose the Fastboot option, after a few seconds this comes out:

I'm using Windows 8.1 x86 (People say it in the thread it works for them on Win 8 x64 - so that's not the problem).
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mickeyasamoah:
Your device is supposed to stay on FASTBOOT USB once its connected to your PC.

Okay then try downloading stock rom PD15IMG.zip and do what i made mention off in my previous reply.

EDIT: Can you take a screenshot of your Pc's device manager?

If you dont know how its done:

Right Click My Computer or This PC=> Then select Manage=> Then on the left of select Device Manager.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wex28:
Yes, here it is:

Btw, I found this, but there's PD98IMG.zip, not PD15IMG.zip. All PD15IMG's I found are for MyTouch4G. Is this one good?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mickeyasamoah:
You are right. Its PD98IMG.zip. I used to use a mytouch 4g so it kinda popped out of no where.

Sorry for that.

Its the PD98IMG.zip rather. Download it and put it on the root of your sdcard and boot to bootloader and press volume up and let it update.

EDIT: With the device manager, right click on the enimration failed device and try uninstalling the drivers. Then Unplug and reconnect ur phone.Then try re-installing it.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wex28:
Installing the PD98IMG.zip took around 5 seconds (it's only 3MB?!), and nothing changed. It said it's successfully done, but everything is the same.

Isn't this dependable on which radio i have? (I have updated it before). And this small file size, I guess it's wrong.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mickeyasamoah:
You downloaded a recovery or an hboot.

Look, the file should be almost 300mb. Its a stock rom
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wex28:
Okay, I found one. It went good, took a few minutes, and as I rebooted the phone, it vibrated seven times at the htc logo, and stuck there. I pulled out the battery, powered on again, and the old, custom rom's splash screen appeared. It's funny that whatever I do, it goes back to that point where the custom rom starts and the welcome screen appears for choosing the language and all that stuff...

I have no idea what to do. :/
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mickeyasamoah:
From what you are saying, it looks like your data partition is corrupted or has some pretty bad blocks.

If only you could access fastboot from your PC, you could erase the partitions.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mickeyasamoah:
Listen..from what he is saying. Windows is unable to recognize the device. Windows sees the device as a mulfunctioned device. Hence, fastboot wont be able to reach it.

And i think its problem with windows 8.1. A friend of mine wanted to issue some commands to a sony xperia device. He kept getting such errors but my pc worked fine. So i think you should let him find a windows 8,7 or xp pc and try. ;)

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wex28:
Here's what happened. Friends pc recognized my phone succesfully. But...

The format commands do not work. Only erase commands work, but it doesn't change anything,even if they are successfully applied.

:(
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mickeyasamoah:
Okay. I dont why its not accepting the commands. There could be only one explanation for this Damaged EMMC.

But before i go crushing your hopes, lets try flashing an engineers bootloader.

Download Eng- Hboot from Here.

Now dont rename the file to anything just keep the name as it is and place it on your SDCARD.

Now boot into Bootloader and let it update. If everything Goes well you should see ENG-HBOOT on the top of your bootloader.

From there try the commands again.

If they dont work, Try flashing the stock rom you downloaded yesterday(PD98IMG.zip) just to be sure that your device is really bricked.

Note: When the device is updating from bootloader, a bar appears on the upper right corner. It loads innitially with a green colour. And when flashing it shows up with a brownish red colour. Now when the brownish red colour appears and kind of moves fast to the end (that is the top) It means it didnt flash. If that happens during the flashing of the stock rom or Hboot, then am afraid its a Damaged EMMC.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wex28:
Okay, I've tried all you said guys. Nothing works. The phone stays unchanged whatever I do.

At the stock rom flashing, the blown/red bar goes up within seconds. The whole update finishes in 2 minutes.

So it's pretty dead.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mickeyasamoah:
I guess so. I had this problem with my old DHD motherboard. It was Taiwan Made. I never had any problem with my first DHD(chinese made).

Is yours made in Taiwan? You can check the battery compartment if you dont know.

Anyway, you can buy a motherboard on ebay and replace it with yours. Or find someone who is selling his DHD because of its damaged screen and use his motherboard.

Thats what i did.

But unfortunately i got a Taiwan made again. Reason why i took it was it was too cheap:p

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wex28:
I'll get a new one. Close the thread :D
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evronetwork:
You might brick your device with those tries :p

When you have an issue like this, 1st try to put a new original battery(if yours is older than 2yr), second try a new microsd card(or one that's good as new but not the one you're using currently in your phone)

If the phone acts weird again then you might have a H/W issue, you don't try things without knowing the condition of the battery or the microsd card.

P.S. Imagine if the microsd is about to die and you flash a rom and suddently dies ..the phone might survive now try the same with a radio flash and you'll have to pray :fingers-crossed:

Updating my ROM??

My device is operator cutomized (no sim LOCK)

Do I take chances to loose my warranty?

What about the configuration settings?

Is there a chance tha updating my ROM will result in damaging my device?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] 6680abhi:
What operator is the device customised to? Most networks offer their own rom upgrades, and so your warranty will not be affected. The rom you have also has many more perfomance issues than the current roms, so I strongly suggest you upgrade the ROM.

You will lsoe all setting, but you can use an application such as SPB Backup, which will backup everything incluiding the registry and so many settings are preserved!

I have concerns related to the security of S4 as a hotspot. While using the device as a hotspot it

became extremely hot, and started to malfunction. I could see that no one other than myself was

connected to the hotspot. Other unusual activity was observed as well, and the carrier has taken

extreme & unusual steps to prevent me from discussing it with their employees.

When using an S4 with (selinux enforcing) as a hotspot, is there any risk that a malicious webserver operator

can somehow access the device using the carrier assigned (dynamic) ip address?

What type of protections (on the wan side) should be in place to properly secure an S4 with 4.3 for use as a hotspot

so the device itself can't be compromised? (assuming no 3rd party apps are installed) I assume device encryption would

not help this situation because the device has to be decrypted to run the hotspot. It's unclear samasung knox 1.0 could

provide anything useful, and I think they force packets through lookout so it slows the connection.
