anyone has the gap issue, exchange your devices immediately.. it could lead to a known issue of the original Z "Self crack glass":

and for the mean time don't shoot lots of 4K video or doing any heavy usage that raise the temp very high

Sorry but 5 people with problem(not even sure if they didnt drop it) out of million sold devices doesnt make me go all paranoid. I have small top right and bottom left gap, phone is waterproof, did countless dives already, like an hour in total of 4k recording, everythings fine. And on top of that, i work in a construction site with no case on phone, so not exactly a glass smartphone friendly environment, guess what? Phone is good as new..
[Xperia Z2 General] Mr.MSB:
Batch 14w14

14w14. I have only a small gap on the bottom left. 4k video recording switch automatically of after 5 minutes. (this comes with the last firmware update .402)

Video still on the phone and is ok.

For me both points are not a big thing on reason the gap is relay small and 4k video is not a essential function for me.:good:

All flip cover are made in 14w02.mine too.Not the phone.
[Xperia Z2 General] PinoPano:
Was about to purchase a Z2 but from this thread and a few others its seems that this phone is a mine field of defects. Can someone please reassure me that it actually isn't that bad?
[Xperia Z2 General] misiakr:
Unfortunately I can't.
[Xperia Z2 General] SuperMarioGalaxy:
Its really not that bad. With my W16, one of my headphones didn't work and I had the tap to wake bug. Now I got a new one, which is working fine (headphones still don't work so maybe they're just broken enough to not be compatible).

The new one I have is W18 and it heats up. I was surprised it does that... No gaps or nothing else, only heating up. My old one did that too just not sure if this much. Oh yeah it was after updating the system. Do you guys consider this a flaw? Should I return it? Again? Have to try it out more.
[Xperia Z2 General] liCCy:
14w17

Camera and flash off center.

Touchscreen is reacting at three different spots when touching the center of the screen after 2 weeks, sony advised a recovery, testing at this moment, pc companion is f***ing with the backup of the device.

I think it's a hardware defect, by experience it sounds like a broken digitizer/touchscreen controller after water damage, if the device needs to go to xperia care and they won't change it, because of water damage then this was my last sony device.
[Xperia Z2 General] corallus:
Had a 14w15 but one earpiece stopped working.

2 dead pixels

No gap

Not uniform filled plastic mould.

Replaced with 14w19.

Not a damp thing wrong, perfect.
[Xperia Z2 General] shaf46:
my friend, i used it more than three and order for different for different friends and examine it bit by bit, MY ADVICE IS DO GET IT, ITS REALLY THE BEST PHONE OUT THERE :) BUT SOME HOW THERE'S SOME DEFECTS ONES IN THESE BATCH REFER TO PAGE 1 WHEN YOU BUY AND EXAMINE BIT BY BIT BEFORE YOU TAKE IT, IF THERE'S NO DEFECTS JUST GET IT :) YOU WON'T REGRET TRUST ME :)
[Xperia Z2 General] shaf46:
Return it mate , get the ones from 14w20 or 21 batch :)
[Xperia Z2 General] shaf46:
Water device or not if you have warranty and know a bit about business law then you can force them to replace it :)
[Xperia Z2 General] corallus:
This is what I mean when referring to the plastic filler not being fully formed, it's always top left front corner.
[Xperia Z2 General] SuperMarioGalaxy:
Update on the matter.

There is no overheating anymore, it was the stressful update. The phone still gets a little warm on heavier use. I just did an 8 minute 4k video and the phone got warm, like normally warm to almost hot. It didn't overheat nor gave a warning when recording. I could basically go on as long as I wanted. My last phone got warm also so I think its normal. But after the video, it said the Xperia needs to cool down now, wait. Is this normal? Or do I need to return it?
[Xperia Z2 General] shaf46:
Nope it is now normal, better return it and get the one from a better batch so you can sleep without worrying :) and come on you paid for this so :)
[Xperia Z2 General] shaf46:
They didn't polish it well :/ its call stress from material :/ can't you get an exchange ?
[Xperia Z2 General] corallus:
It's not filled correctly, nothing to do with polishing.

I work in plastic injection and this is what happens if there is not enough material shot into a mould or the back screw pressure is too light.

I have since replaced it with a perfect w19
[Xperia Z2 General] shaf46:
imagine only people on xda knows about these issues with the diff. batches :/ its a shame for sony
[Xperia Z2 General] OAlbalooshi:
14w17

everything looks normal except for a gap in top right and bottom left corners, can take a maximum of 3 minutes of 4K recording.

i don't mind the gaps, its just a 1 mm gap.

ran a water test for 20 minutes and theres no leak.

cheers :)
[Xperia Z2 General] SuperMarioGalaxy:
I mean it only gives the warning when I try to use the camera again after taking the video. Guess I'll return it... Afraid I'll get another faulty unit and my headphones still wouldn't work. Maybe I'll just return the Phone altogether. Only thing keeping me set on this is that I've bought accessories already.
[Xperia Z2 General] Bazsty:
This is exactly the same as mine, only, I showed a member of staff at Carphone Warehouse the issue and they said they couldn't see anything wrong so wouldn't replace it, I wasn't happy. I'm left to deal with it through Sony now as I've had the phone more than 28 days.

I'm a little wary sending it over to Sony in a jiffy bag and being without a phone for 7 days, so what should I do? :/
[Xperia Z2 General] osbertc0ol:
Can someone explain to me why Z2 have 2 IP ratings?

IP55 and IP58?

isn't the first number indicate the dust resistant and second number is the water resistant ?

so why have 2 IP ratings?

[Xperia Z2 General] SuperMarioGalaxy:
Update on the matter. I just tried with the old phone and it wouldn't even let me record for 8 min before shutting down because of heat. I'm thinking I'll keep this one. There is nothing else "wrong" with it.

I'm still curious if others can record for long. Is there a software to check and test cpu temp and what is normal? If this clears then I'll keep it.
[Xperia Z2 General] Zentheld:
Is anyone else's mini jack port a bit...wobbly? With a pair of headphones plugged in, if I very gently wiggle the jack it moves around. Surely this isn't supposed to happen. There's no loss of sound and no crackling as I move it, but it's a little concerning.

Got a week18 replacement which had 2 death pixel, not fully closes left sim/usb door, gap issues...

The new one is week20, i spotted 1 dead pixel right away... no gap issue, door closes properly.

But these dead pixels are SHAME as hell! SRSLY! :mad:
[Xperia Z2 General] rpk12:
I have the same problem with same batch,dead pixel issue.The guys at service center told me i have one stuck pixel so they can't change it.If i had 2 or more then they will think.I called Xperia support right away and told them how ****ty their phone and service is.I was arguing with them for say 2 an half hours then they checked their existing device and told me that i actually get a faulty set.So they took pictures of my issue i.e taken by me.You can see it one first page of this thread and tell me to wait for 2 days they will discuss their sony authority and will get back to me.If my phone is not get replaced then i will call xperia support and teach them a lesson.planning for selling Z2 for Htc one m8.Can't deal with this ****ty Sony and Z2
[Xperia Z2 General] kannanX10:
these dead pixels and display problem r the real issues straight away go for a replacement whereas gaps,off center camera and flash issues r blown out of proportion in this thread......

in general most of the z2 devices shipped seems to be from 14w17 and 14w18 bcos global launch was in may so its assumed that they r defective as some users r having some issues with those batch numbers ---that not the actual case........on receiving a new one do check for real issues if any forget abt the batch no and all
[Xperia Z2 General] Lostatsea23:
No problems besides the vibrate motor deciding to not work all the time then randomly starting again... Can't really return as I imported it but I do have a square trade warranty if it gets bad enough...

Today went for the so waited new batch replacement , they bring 3 new witch were all with gaps and 3 of them off centered camera but 1 is very very little offcentered not like mine and the gap is only infront buttom left that one is the best from those 3 and 4 other before and still its not perfekt , i am in Bulgaria , they claimed its a new batch but as i see all are deffekt

[Xperia Z2 General] vctrdnl:
It's just my impression but I believe that subsidized units sold by phone operators are of a higher production quality than those sold by online retailers like Amazon, eBay, etc, etc. I may as well be wrong but that's my personal experience with both Sony and HTC, and in two different countries, too...

Hey guys, sorry for this but i think im fed up with sony now, them and their crappy phone ! There is no quality control at all,im really piss off right now, got to a nice shop ,the seller was so kind, we open two box of z2,both of them were from the 14w18 batch and it had defects ! Exactly as page 1 and gaps here and there, then went back on the next day and out of 3, two seems good so i took it, then went home ( one for me and another one for my mate ) - then at home was kind of updating it and loading a game to my great surprise :) overheating like crazy ? Then what ? A dead pixel looking at me -' and i realised that the usb door was not fully closed. It then freze up and had to reset to factory and now what ? I left it on my table im so piss off atm -.- im starting to get really fed up at sony i prefer to use a samsung plastic phone rather than this ! Waiting for monday to see the shop really not nice from sony they shouldn't released their fu*cking defective device on the market just for cash !
[Xperia Z2 General] natkaen:
I had the same problem as you. the vibrator randomly stop working and start working. I noticed that it wouldn't work when i use it in landscape with the sony logo to the left side, but using it landscape with sony logo to the right side seems fine. There must be something loose moving in there. Anyway i got it changed, since it was very annoying. The one i changed for had yellow tint on bottom half of the screen. So i changed again and this one seems fine now, but all of them had minor gaps top right and bottom left. All were 14W18. Seems like there's quite alot of issues with the z2. I don't care about gaps anyway, since it's only minor and will still be waterproof. I noticed some had lcd bleeding aswell. It shows a line of light on the top of the screen when you tilt it or it'll be brighter on the top of screen.
[Xperia Z2 General] fineazbro:
mine is 14w21 no defect at all, i guess i'm lucky
[Xperia Z2 General] shaf46:
Yep, You're lucky :) The last batch that has been manufactured

ther's now condensation in the lens ,was sony makes such ****ty phone ?

I means z1 was excellent with very minor problem, but z2 ? dayum like you're paying for faulty devices ! If the devices aint good ! YOU HAVE TO MAKE LOSS SONY ! DON"T TRY TO PASS THEM AROUND AND TRY TO SNEAK YOUR DEFECTIVE STUFF -.- MONEY DOESN"T GROW ON TREES

CyanogenMod is an aftermarket firmware for a number of cell phones based on the open-source Android operating system. It offers features not found in the official Android based firmwares of vendors.

What works:

- SIM1 for phone calls (incoming/outgoing) and SMS, data (2g, 3g)

- Audio (microphone - now also outside phone calls, loudspeaker, headphones)

- most sensors (auto brightness seems to be broken, but sensor works)

- Wifi (not wifi direct)

- GPS (no A-GPS yet nor EPO assist files, so the fix can take a bit)

- candy crush, facebook and twitter

- 2nd sim card is a WIP (see 2nd post how to play with it)

- hw composer

- camera for taking pictures (not video)

What doesnt Work

What doesn't work:

- 2nd sim card 3G switch, Dual SIM is a WIP, not fully there yet

- re-enable after flightmode broken

- camera for "movies" does not work

- (hw) video en/decoding not enabled

- bluetooth not available

- auto brightness

- FM radio not available

- A-GPS does not work, GPS works though but slowish

- rest of MTK specifics (what?)

- battery usage stats

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] republicano:
your apps are the reason, was the phone slow prior installing 100 apps?, how many are running in the background and how much ram is avaliable?, you need to make sure they are not running when playing fifa.

backup your apps/data and remove them and see if it helps,

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brian85:
Bought it used off eBay so not sure if I have OEM parts, but I went from 37% battery to 70% in 4 hours. Slowest charging phone I've ever used.

I did a Google search and found this is a common problem and you need the correct charger and cable. My problem is I can't find any recent information on this and with the stuff I read, there was never a clear answer given.

Has this issue ever been figured out and if so, what charger and cable do I need to get?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lotzofdotz:
The original charger is rated at 1.8A so look for that.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brian85:
Ok so I used my moto x USB cable and the g2 turned into the fastest charging phone I've ever had. I didn't know a cable could make a difference. Same wall charger.

So is there a certain type of cable that I need?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoff5093:
It's just the way the pinout is on the cable I believe, if the phone sees it as a standard USB cable such as those used to connect it to a PC, it will go into slow charging mode as to not overdraw the USB port on the computer. The stock charger, and from some other phones, allow the charging at the full ~2A rate.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgolder:
It isn't a 'problem' at all with the phone. As with any device, technically you should always use the accessories made specifically for it to get the best functionality. Or, at least buy a 3rd party item that is made to the same spec.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CommSoft8086:
As you've discovered, the G2 (and many other USB devices) can request far more than the 500ma provided by traditional computer USB ports. For non-Apple devices (they broke the spec -- thanks Steve!), shorting the D+/D- pins will indicate to the device that it's plugged into a high power port, allowing it to request far more amperage.

There are specific "USB charging cables" that short these pins for you, if you don't feel like rolling your own. I bought this one:

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

I have had my S3 for 2 years now and noticed this problem for the first time around 5 weeks or so ago. Basically i noticed that it would not charge much after a long period of time charging, and also when using the device the battery would deplete a lot more quickly than what I am used to.

On investigation it appears that I am losing power while charging. I downloaded the application 'galaxy charging' which lets me know how many mA are being drawn etc.

Via mains the reference is always 1098 or around 1amp as it should be and via USB it is 466mA. This app monitors the average current being drawn while the device is charging and i notice that EVERY time i charge via either mains or USB the device NEVER charges at its max capacity (1098mA via mains and 466 via USB)

What i see which happens is as soon as i plug in my charger to mains it will start off close to maximum, around 800mA and then after 10 seconds or so it will slowly come down to say 600mA, a further 20 seconds or sooner we are down to 300mA and eventually it will either settle around this figure if i am lucky so i actually charge my phone (all be it very slowly) but much more likely it will always drop off to 100mA. At this power the phone drains more battery being on than power being given to it to charge so the battery goes down while charging.

Does anyone know what could be causing this?

Troubleshooting attempted:

I have replaced the battery with a new one. I still get the same problem

I have replaced the USB lead, i *might* get a slightly higher stable mA on average on one but maybe this is probably just coincidental

I have tested via mains and USB, the error occurs on both, I have tested mains where nothing else uses the socket and USB on a PC where the only USB port being used is the phone.

I have changed my ROM, I am now using ArchiDroid. I thought doing a complete reset and putting on a new OS might fix this but apparently not.

Right now I am out of ideas and am left thinking this is some internal hardware error, but can anyone else offer any suggestions or has this happened to anyone else?

Appreciate any responses,

James
