[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mvrk69:
Hi,

I've got a dual sim android phone (Galaxy S4 MINI DUOS), i'm trying to connect to an EAP-SIM wifi network, but it's failing because it's using the primary sim card and i need to use the secondary sim card.

Shouldn't the WIFI EAP-SIM funcionality use the sim card that is configured as default?

Is there anyway to choose which sim card is used for EAM-SIM?

when i try to flash FTF using flashtool it wants me to enter flashmode. When i enter flashmode the Flashtool doesn't recognize the phone.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ben Ling:
install the driver for Xperia Z & import the device before flashing.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] username249:
I have the drivers installed. What do you mean by import the device.

Do I need the original use cable because my usb cable isn't working anymore now I'm using Samsung usb cable
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ben Ling:
no you don't need original cable

but are you sure that you installed the flashmode driver in Flashtool>drivers folder ?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] username249:
Yes,I tried to install it 3 times

I'll try to import the phone as soon as I turn on my laptop

Edit: it was working when my bootloader was locked.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] username249:
importing device didn't fix it

I think it is a hardware issue I tried to flash it on another pc and the same problem occurred
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] username249:
I have found the problem but I can't fix it

The problem is: my phone freezes when i enter flashmode. I have to make a hard reset to make it work again.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lxphuong:
What is "hard rest" mean? How to do it.?

My problem is on the flashmode.

When I plug the phone while hold down the Vol -, The Green LED just light about 1sec then turn off.

and flashtool inform error

I can not flash new firmware via flashtool

Could you teach me how to fix this problem

Thanks

Next time, wait for flashtool to say you should connect your device on flashmode.

If you connect it before flashtool asks it, it will fail.

So choose the ftf to flash, wait for flashtool to ask you to connect your phone in flashmode, now connect your phone.

[Asus Transformer TF701] erkanea:
Hello,

After I bought this tablet, I am always having an issue whatever ROM i try doesnt matter (stock one, stock latest, crombi-x, crombi-kk)

WI-FI works great on my home network which is password protected and not much channel congestion around.

WI-FI gets disconnected very often (every 2-3 minutes generally if only I start surfing) at work, where there is lots of WI-FI in the same channels (this is because most of networks are from the same router). At work, if I start a download and do nothing else it goes good but whenever I start surfing, then i get disconnected. Work WI-FI is not secure by WPA etc but certificate authantication is required. So I suspect there is something wrong wiht certificate services with the device or software. It sounds like a buffer gets full when I connect to different web sites.

I tried a lot of browsers and there is no difference between them.

Any help will be appriciated.
[Asus Transformer TF701] YayYouFixedIt:
I have that problem also. But it happened only after I bought a cheap dlink n300. Before that I was using a Belkin and it was fine.I Just have to hit retry.
[Asus Transformer TF701] erkanea:
we have a cisco device at work, i dont know specific problem but there might be hundreds of people that connects to this network, they dont have any problem.
[Asus Transformer TF701] TrekMD:
It may be the battery save feature of the tablet that is disconnecting you from WiFi. Try turning that off to see if you still have the issue.
[Asus Transformer TF701] erkanea:
I am not having an issue at home network, so I don't think power save features causing this. Also, I have tried with power saving disabled from settings and result is same.
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
If you are not having the issue at home then it is more likely the work Cisco setup.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Alta1r:
I used to have the same problem on my home network. I live in the city and have lots of Wifi-networks around (about 15 to 20). At work, where wifi channels aren't so crowded, i didn't have this problem.

What fixed it for me was to put the router to 802.11n-only (before it was mixed n/g/b). As from that moment (many months ago) i haven't had a single disconnect. But I guess this might not be a solution for you...

[Xperia Z2 General] oc_masta:
It's a strong title... I know. Before you carry on reading take a deep breath and keep an open mind.

I've been playing around with a few cameras, for the best camera for photo and video work.

I've had the chance to trial the Galaxy S5, Galaxy Note 3, LG G2 (4k mod), Sony Z1 and of course the Z2.

Now in my testing I have observed a few things and tested them to conclude the following:

The Z1 and Z2 share the same sensor and lens

The Z2 outputs less compression to increase the quality (larger file size)

The sensor themselves are amazing, able to capture huge dynamic range and have impressive low light capabilities.

The glass in front of the Exmor sensors are just crap, the so called 'G Lens'.

The lens causes a lot of softness/blur... only the centre of the image is sufficently sharp.

I will proceed in the next post with evidence.
[Xperia Z2 General] bombdog:
Unless you have removed the lens cover from the housing and have taken photos to prove your theory that it's "crap" and then removed the lens and showed how it causes "softness/blur" I'm calling this out as a trolling exercise. I've made multiple comparison photos with my old HTC One X and my girlfriends Lumia 1020 and I can find nothing wrong with the camera. It compares very favourably with both.
[Xperia Z2 General] oc_masta:
Evidence A:

Here are 2 photos of some pebble dashing on a wall, which is great for checking sharpness.

Below are crops of the centre part photos taken with a LG G2 and Sony Z2.

The first is a LG G2 @ 13mp, the second is the Sony Z2 @ 20mp.

We can clearly see the G2 is sharp all around while Z2 starts to blur very quickly off centre in spots around the image. The lens isn't doing this sensor the justice it deserves.

The raw captures are available below for you to pixel peep yourselves.

[Xperia Z2 General] earlymorninghours:
I also think expectations need to be realistic. We're probably still in the range of 3 to 5 years before the cameras on these phones can approach the quality of DSLR or mirrorless units (hopefully we're even closer to when they can output raw files). Even then, unless someone comes up with something rather clever, we won't be seeing any decent optical zoom capabilities or the capacity for interchangeable lenses. But for most of us and for most circumstances, these phones do just fine. I can't imagine a professional photographer for Nat Geo (or any press org) is going to rely on their phone as their primary tool. The thousands of pictures that I've taken over the last 5+ years with a half dozen different phones wouldn't even exist, except for a few dozen maybe, if I didn't have my phone available and ready to use. Indeed I can do more and do better with my Canon, but other than road trip style vacations, it simply doesn't get used.

Slightly OT - Why ANY of these manufacturers put some type of protective sliding cover over the lens? What would that add to the cost of manufacture? A nickle?

[Xperia Z2 General] oc_masta:
Don't get me wrong, the sensor is amazing. I don't understand why Sony would develop such a great sensor and pair it with such a bad lens.

I mean if Samsung and LG can incorporate super sharp lenses, Sony DEFINITELY can.

Sony have built a whole industry and reputation on camera equipment, I'm just disappointed they didn't use a sharper lens.
[Xperia Z2 General] bombdog:
LG G2 is over-sharpened IMHO.. Likewise your "evidence" is also your opinion. Were both of the phones mounted in a tripod? Was OIS on the G2? There are so many variables that you can't account for this amounts to nothing but your opinion. So thanks for your opinion. Sheesh..
[Xperia Z2 General] oc_masta:
Both were stabilized to negate the effects of OIS.

I'm just presenting my test and conclusion, it isn't opinion once proven but feel free to believe whatever you like. I'm just presenting the facts and your presenting your opinion.

I love the Z2 regardless, everything is quality, including the sensor which is truly amazing, but the glass is letting it down.
[Xperia Z2 General] le_lutin:
I've just come from a G2 to a Z2 and I can tell you that I'd take the Z2 every day of the week as my main shooter. G2's shutter speed is horrendous (yes I tried all the mods). Pictures of anything moving invariably comes out as a blurry mess.
[Xperia Z2 General] bombdog:
I'm sorry, but two photos of a pebble dashed wall is not evidence that Sony's G Lens is crap. On my Z2 there are absolutely no issues with soft focus, it is pinsharp in macro and when taking photos of complex landscapes. By all means prove your theory by removing the lens glass from your G2 & Z2 and compare the quality with microscope. Until then, this is an opinion piece. Nothing more.
[Xperia Z2 General] oc_masta:
Um I'm sorry nobody tests lenses and cameras by your method. Your still stating your opinion.

I am trialling every camera I can without bias but I am liking the Z2 build feel and overall package alot more than any other phone.
[Xperia Z2 General] bombdog:
I'm not going to talk about this anymore after this post as you don't seem to understand. There could be plenty of reasons your Z2 isn't focusing properly (software/hardware/contamination etc.), but you have stated that it's because Sony have used "crap" glass. The onus is on you to provide proof about this and you can't.

Why not get a few Z2's together and see if the issue is the same. No one else has gone out of their way to say "Why the Z2 camera sucks" and then said "probably the crap glass". Do you make lenses? What is the best type of glass to use? Enlighten us..
[Xperia Z2 General] oc_masta:
Well I'm heavily involved in the visual effects industry and photography. I know glass problems like most photographers do, evidently you do not.

All lenses are imperfect by nature and display certain issues. Softness is one and causes a loss of resolution.

That's why you tend to hear people rant how important a lens is over the camera itself. Not that I share that sentiment entirely, but this test did help me appreciate that a bit more.

The reason I say glass is, because the centre when zoomed is sharp (focussed), but further out it gets soft in certain areas. Like I had already stated.

Believe whatever you want and dispute it with your own test.
[Xperia Z2 General] HeartUnderBlade:
Do you think there is a possibility that your Z2 may have a defective lens?

I think what bombdog is trying to say (albeit a bit harsh) is that you need to have multiple test samples before jumping to conclusions. For instance, just because your Z2 had a bad lens does not mean all lens are bad.

If I were to do this test, I'd take a handful of XZ2, a G2, and an S5 then take shots of different scenery. If a majority of the Z2 shows a lack in sharpness then we can assume that the Z2 could have a bad lens.
[Xperia Z2 General] hasona:
By

What I thibk other's mean is that maybe your device's glass cover is bad. Sure that may be Sony's fault or it could be bad handling from your part but I have a hard time believing that all the Z1/Z2 glass covers are as bad as yours. I for example have some pictures without blur on the edges and that for me makes this test nothing more than a test on an eventually faulty device(faulty glass cover maybe)
[Xperia Z2 General] oc_masta:
I have a Z1 which exhibits the exact same issue you see, and they share the same camera. The only difference between the photos is an increase in filesize of the Z2 in comparison with the Z1 at the same 20mp resolution. This usually means less compression. A neat trick by Sony to increase photo quality with the same hardware.

The lens is inside the camera which consists of several pieces of glass layered on top of each other (polished, shaped and distorted). Lenses are very hard to make.

The outside is just a flat piece of glass to protect the REAL lens.
[Xperia Z2 General] oc_masta:
Look guys,

For the purists its an issue yes, for the general happy snappers, it is not. But I hope you would have liked to hear the facts instead of just being ignorant to them.

Its a great camera apart from the glass inside which could be better.

p.s. sharpness/detail isn't everything, this sensor itself beats anything else on offer in a phone and can only compare to the Lumia 1020 (which is my opinion).

I am very pleased with its dynamic range and ability to able to show detail in shadows and highlights (especially useful in 4k video).
[Xperia Z2 General] HeartUnderBlade:
You know, I didn't come to take shots at you. I was just trying to interpret what Bombdog was saying so that you two could stop bickering like a married couple. No need to say I'm "ignorant" to the "facts".

I know exactly what you mean but you two don't seem to understand each other. Bombdog suggests you get more Z2 samples. On the other hand, you're going around saying these are facts when, unfortunately, they are not true facts. Bombdog is mostly right in that they are opinions (except the way he came off seemed very aggressive). Giving one sample and throwing around self-proclaimed certifications about being highly involved in photography does not suddenly make it a "fact." What you have here is a HYPOTHESIS not a fact.

Sorry, I did not mean to come off as being too aggressive but I came here to hear a discussion and if I'm going to get shots fired at me just because I happened to walk in at the wrong time then perhaps there wasn't going to be a discussion in the first place.
[Xperia Z2 General] debrandman:
I'm with you man...fully understand what you are talking about, but just don't keep trying to convince the fanboys that the Z2 has some issues because you're not getting to any result! They are too ignorant...

I love and want to use something like Zagg or Best Skins Ever, but I haven't been able to find anything that also covers the sides of the phone. I'd like scratch protection on the sides too! Anyone have any suggestions or know of anything?:confused:
[G2 Accessories] Hung0702:
Just got an Xgear skin. The black leather is very slick, almost no grip. Thankfully, it's matte and doesn't pick up grease or fingerprints (my only goals). I guess it protects the sides. It covers the sides completely.

Don't get a Slickwrap. The renders show side coverage, but I got one and the sides are completely uncovered.

I have a quicksand case and don't have to use it anymore. I don't need any protection. I just hate the hyperglaze plastic.
[G2 Accessories] Deleted member 2182971:
Thanks for the suggestion! One question, how has it held up so far with the corners staying down? Also, does it have any screen protection to it?
[G2 Accessories] Hung0702:
Corners don't go down unless you use a blowdryer. After that, everything is "skin-tight." Had it on for a few days more and I'm not at all concerned about the edges coming loose and catching something. Just make sure you use a blowdryer (hair dryer) focused on the corners, then work your way around the edges, pressing the rein down and holding it down after you get it hot.

At $15 it didn't come with a screen protector. You could just get a screen protector for a buck or two. I don't use screen protectors, never have. Since the original Gorilla Glass came out, screen protectors seem unnecessary. If you're really afraid of scratching your screen, go ahead. You're more likely to drop and break it, and a screen protector isn't going to help you there.

The Xgear skin comes with panels for the front, covering the top and bottom bezel. The sensors and camera are not obscured.

Check YouTube for a better idea of the fit.
[G2 Accessories] rip9150:
I also use gear. I have the carbon fiber one. Like hung0702 said, use a bellwether. I've never had the edges peel up but I use an aluminum bumper now. It offers protection and keeps the phone slim.
