[MENTION=1454670]Kamran9558[/MENTION] That's really bad mate, still think they are just fobbing you off, myself & others had replacement phones & still got the speaker at the start of June, personally I think you start mentioning trading standards & the press the next time you call Sony. I know Sony have had the details from 3 for about a month & a half now.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] David T 19:
Damn, this still going on?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.R™:
Rang them today, apparently they needed more information, gave it them and said I should now receive am email with an update soon
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kamran9558:
they said the same to me too and that i will definitely receive an email by Friday if not i should give them a call. lets see
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BanziBaby:
[MENTION=1454670]Kamran9558[/MENTION] hopefully you will get it soon mate, it a real nice piece of kit.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.R™:
From what he said it sounds like it's an issue with anyone that registered for the Speaker after the 1st of may, I was ready to cancel my contract till they offered me the deal they did speaker included so he's put a note on do hopefully that helps :)
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pauliebb:
Don't get so hopeful mate. I preordered an upgrade on 28th and got my phone on 2nd.

I've been calling Sony and 3 since and been thrown back and forth. 3 emailed Sony and said my contract date was 2nd. I told them it wasn't and we've been trying to sort it for the past 4 weeks.

Tldr: it's a back and forth and I feel cheated out of my early upgrade fee for this speaker that hasn't yet come.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kamran9558:
Called them as advised, same old bull**** that they are still waiting for the info from 3 and 3 say that they have already sent out the info. This is seriously not cool.

They lure people to buy their stuff and never fulfill what they promise, its been 3 months now, how long do we have to wait ?? another 3 years.

I will think twice now before buying anything from Sony ever again.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pauliebb:
Number no longer working. 3 telling me that the promotion was Sony run, the info was given by 3 and Sony was using that same "waiting on info from 3" excuse to delay.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.R™:
I'll be contacting 3 when I'm ready to pay my bill on Friday, then I'll be contacting trading standards and I'll even be considering getting my contract nulled due to false advertising if I don't get the speaker or the value of it. I wont be lied to and tbh I'm disappointed with Sony due to this 6 month or less upgrade cycle they seem to think is acceptable
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kamran9558:
I spoke to them yesterday and nothing new. I am done with Sony. There is a reason why people love the forbidden fruit company
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] jlandry287:
So here's the deal everyone. Today I got the S5 :highfive:

I want to sell my galaxy S4 now. only problem is, it is rooted and the knox counter is "tripped". Is it possible to sell a rooted (flawless condition, lots of accessories) phone, and if so where?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] daniel4653:
EBay, swappa, cell trader online, craigslist. Swappa is a good one because most of those sellers are XDA members. But you can reach more people with eBay. Just be sure in the description you type that the phone is rooted.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] silverfox88:
how much are you selling the S4?, I might be a buyer.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] jlandry287:
I sent you a PM
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] sputnik767:
Why not? I've sold my previous S2 and S3 on Ebay. I would not sell my device without wiping and restoring to factory stock, but I did offer to root it before shipping. Both times the buyer declined. Just restore your device to stock via ODIN and official firmware, and mention in the listing that KNOX is tripped meaning that any warranty work will likely be declined. Or if your phone is already out of warranty, don't mention it at all.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] ketchups:
I could not find a definitive answer to this anywhere. I would like to purchase a NON-US variant of the Samsung galaxy tab with phone feature enabled, for use with VZW US.

I am currently in Taiwan and they have the phone enabled devices here but I am unsure if there is a model which will have CDMA+GSM OR IF IT IS EVEN COMPATIBLE ON VERIZONS NETWORK.

Taiwan does have CDMA. I believe it is 800 and VZW in the US is 800/1900.

I will also be visiting japan as well, so if there is a galaxy tab phone there that will work on the us verizon network I'd pick that up.

This should really be as simple as finding a model that supports both GSM and CDMA and just inserting the 4G LTE SIM card into it when I am back in the states.

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

WiFi Display

Hello,

could you tell me if it does support WiFi Display? (screen mirroring to tv)

i own an LG smart tv (miracast certified), i would like to know if i can do scrren mirroring wirelessly...or if i have to buy the huawei tv box (mediaq) to do that...

let me know

thanks!
[Android General] moviehunter2009:
Yes it support wifi display.
[Android General] Vicolodo:
Thank you,

so i can mirror the screen of the mediapad x1 to any wifi display (miracast) compatible smart tv,

without to buy additional tv box?

I don't find the mediapad x1 in the official list of miracast compatible devices...

Can you double check this?

I asked (via email) to huawei support , but they didn't answer me yet...

Thanks!
[Android General] MobileInkSlinger:
HUAWEI call it multi screen. I haven't tested it, but I'm pretty sure that will do it.
[Android General] amy520:
does it support 4g lte network?
[Android General] anonapersons:
Can it fit in your pocket?
[Android General] MobileInkSlinger:
My version is just WCDMA, there is a 4g version but I'm not sure the supported bands.
[Android General] MobileInkSlinger:
It fits in my pockets but I wear my pants fairly loose and with deeper pockets.
[Android General] Vicolodo:
thank you very much

i read on the user manual (available online) something about air sharing, but seems it needs a huawei tv box (mediaQ)

i would like to know if this box is needed, or if the x1 screen mirroring can work without it, if the tv is miracast compatible

specifically, if the screen is actually mirrored to the tv, not only when some media like photo or video is pushed to the tv via dlna

(for example during browsing, can i see the browser in the tv screen?)

with my xiaomi m2s when i activate wlan display , i can see the phone screen mirrored on the tv...

do you think that this happens also with the mediapad x1?

thanks!
[Android General] MobileInkSlinger:
Sorry, I can't say for sure. I don't have anything to test it with .
[Android General] Vicolodo:
no problem,

thank you

but i have also another question (i will send you a postcard from italy if you can check this ;)

about external webcam

with my tablet acer a500 (with stock rom, but rooted) i can connect an external webcam (logitech c270),

to the usb port and it works fine with app 'dashcam' (than can be downloaded freely from the play store)

i you have a webcam , can you try to connect it to the usb port of the mediapad x1 (via otg cable) and check if it works with app 'dashcam'?

Thank you very much!
[Android General] MobileInkSlinger:
A webcam? Hmmm, I remember those things. :) Unfortunately I haven't had one in a few years.

Sorry, I can't check that for you either.
[Android General] Vicolodo:
ok no problem,

tks

probably if you try to download, install and launch the app 'dashcam' it tells you if the app is compatible with the device... (if not, it give the message 'uvc driver missing' or something like that...)

by the way, i bought a small webcam that is a microscope/endoscope, that can be used to inspect things such electronic circuits pcb, and also for medical purposes (included are some accessories), but also to inspect things that can not be seen directly (like a small screw in a hidden place of the engine of the car)

this works with my acer a500 (and app dashcam) so i was wondering if i could use the mediapad too (that is more portable)
[Android General] MobileInkSlinger:
Dashcam loads onto the device but like you said it gives a uvc driver error. Sounds like a really cool webcam you bought.
[Android General] Vicolodo:
Thanks!

Yes,

take a look to this aliexpress store (they can send the items from UK warehouse):

[Android General] ralphrmartin:
I've just got one of these, and it's so good I am retiring my Galaxy Note 2. I use Go Launcher on it, and don't see any lag. It's a perfect size for me - fits in my jacket pocket, small enough for the occasional phone call, and a tiny bezel yet a large screen make this as big a step up from the Note 2 as that was from my ZTE Blade. As noted, battery life is just amazing. Use it all day, and I'm still on 60% battery left. I got the Chinese version. Most of the interface is in English, but the utilities are in Chinese - the help app, and the Huawei market, in particular. It comes with some bloatware, but much of that can be uninstalled. There's a lot of fine control over app permissions, and a useful cleaner utility. SIP calling i not enabled so you will need a separate SIP app if that's your thing.

Root for honor x1

I received my honor x1 :good: (not bad so far), I was able to root on a link meant for the huawei honor 3c(listed below) . Hope it helps. Just wished there were more cases for this thing. Im using it with Cricket (was AIO Wireless) in the US with no problem. Im still using the Emoticon launcher (it's ok), with some tweaking it becomes very snappy(the quad core it's not the most powerful). Screen is excellent. no problems fitting in back pocket. Camera is ok (haven't really tested it). Any question let me know.

i am not able to find such information....

i asked many times via email to huawei support, but no answer

i asked to an italian guy that bought the device (that i found on italian android forum , perhaps the only that bought that device) but no answer

i asked to some people that did the review of the device, but they cant check it...

i asked to some aliexpress sellers, some told me it does support, other that it does not support, othrrs told me that they asked to the factory , and the factory told them that it does support widi, but they are not sure...:confused:

please help me to solve this problem, if you can...

Any other opinions on having it in your front pocket? Is it okay while walking?
[Android General] DrHRH:
I've got a Note 2 and one of its strongest points for me is the quality of the loudspeaker when listening to music - it gives the sound a real gassy depth. I bought a Lumia 1520 as I love massive phones and the Note 2 was a bit too small. The 2 problems for me with the Lumia are: 1) Windows Phone 2) The speaker is not that good.

My question is: please can you do a speaker comparison between your Note 2 and the Mediapad and let us know how they compare in terms of bass and depth of sound?

Yours very gratefully,

HRH.

:)
[Android General] ralphrmartin:
Well, I like harpsichord, which is mainly treble, but OK, I tried some Porcupine Tree, and the verdict is

- MediaPad sounds good, with good sound clarity

- Note II does have more bass.

I must admit I don't use my device for music much, and listen to HiFi when I listen to music.

Hope this helps.
[Android General] DrHRH:
Thanks for that. It does help somewhat. I'm hoping for a little more clarification - how would you say the Mediapad compares generally with the Note 2 for listening to music like Porcupine Tree (I'd never heard of them but quite like them now actually)? I mean for me, the Note 2 is excellent for that purpose. What makes that listening experience unpleasant that tinny quality that you get in pretty much every smartphone except for the Note series, the iPhone, the HTC One/M8 and possibly one or two older phones. Other than the bass being not as prominent, does the song sound any good or is there some tinniness (if that's a word) which makes is unpleasant?

I don't wish to come across as obsessive but I do tend to put the phone down and listen to music quite often.

Thanks again.
[Android General] ralphrmartin:
Well, to me, the Medipad sounds OK - for a phone...

Definitely not as much bass as the Note II, but I wouldn't call it tinny.
[Android General] DrHRH:
OK, so it sounds reasonable then from what you've said. Just a shame there's no way of playing around with one. Can't see any shops in Manchester selling them any time soon!

Thanks anyway.

Hi guys,

I'm Leonardo from Italy.

I confirm, our Mediapad Honor X1 support Miracast, I use it with my Panasonic LCD tv and it works very good! I can watch films or my photos streaming it from my device to TV throught multiple display function on X1.

I have one only great issue, I can't synch my contact and my calendar with my X1, could someone help me?

Leonardo the solution is here -> http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52811178&postcount=5

little advise though - use root file explorer instead of ES file explorer cuz on my device ES failed to rename

---------- Post added at 03:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:23 AM ----------

And 1 more thing Leonardo

If u are using the LTE version, please check whether u can add a second Google account

settings -> accounts -> add accounts

can u check whether Google is among the option please

Thanks
[Android General] MobileInkSlinger:
I agree. They are good speakers but not the best on the market for music. I found they do work very well for movies. I re-watched Battleship on it the other day and it sounds incredible during the action scenes with the DTS enabled.

Just a note regarding Google apps on the X1. You

don't

need to root to install google apps.

Hi Guys, I bought the 4G version from Germany a few days ago and just realized that the Permission manager is missing. Can you please confirm if it is available on the Chinese 3G version?
[Android General] DrHRH:
Not sure about that. How much did you pay for it and is it any good?
[Android General] digedi:
399 Euro from Amazon.de. I like it a lot, but I will need some time to get used to its size. It is huge.

It is really annoying that the Permission manager is missing, because it is one of the most important features for me. I want to be able restrict the applications from accessing my contact, calls, messages, etc.

Anyone know how to deactive the flip cover function, it is not tight n when put inside sling beg,it always on..
[Android General] DrHRH:
What about the sluggishness that's been reported by some reviewers? Which phone have you come from and how does the performance compare?
[Android General] digedi:
I am not a heavy user. I use it mainly as a phone, for browsing and non-intensive apps. For these purposes is perfect (if the size doesn't bother you). I tried a few of the games that came with it and they were running smooth, but again I just tried them for 5 minutes max.

My previous device was Samsung Note 3. I liked it, but the screen was just not big enough for browsing. Performance wise Note 3 is somewhat faster, but X1 is just fine too. I am not into phone racing competitions :)
[Android General] DrHRH:
I found the Note 3 underwhelming with poor battery life so I sold it and kept my Note 2.

Which country are you from? Just wondering how much they charged you postage costs for the X1.
[Android General] digedi:
Never had Note 2 in order to compare it with Note 3, but I tend to agree with you that Note 3 battery life was not impressive.

Other reason to sell it was that I was not able to install custom rom without tripping the Knox counter and subsequently losing the warranty.

I am based in Germany. Amazon.de offer free delivery in Germany. They also offer international delivery (for UK I believe it is 5-6 Euro), but they are currently out of stock.
[Android General] DrHRH:
Just offering a massive phone alternative to the X1:

I'm using the Lumia 1520 at the moment and it's superb. Windows Phone 8.1 is actually pretty good. The biggest positive difference I've found between WP and Android is the stability. This Lumia has honestly never crashed once. For the last 5 years I've been (and still am) an Android fan but its instability has always bugged me, literally and metaphorically, in the way that on average, every day at least once I get an apologetic message telling me an app has crashed and needs to be restarted. It seems that for all its historical weak points and despite a relative lack of apps available, Microsoft and Nokia (who are now one and the same) have nailed it with this phone. It's huge but fits in most people's pockets, the battery life is excellent and it's rock solid.

As keen as I am to have the X1 I'm being realistic and don't think it will be quite as good as I'd hoped, simply due to the shortcomings of Android in terms of stability.

Like I say, just offering people my experience of alternatives to big screen Android phones (not a fan of the word phablet).
