[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bl1tZ7:
Hi guys.

I'm thinking about buying the Docomo xperia z2, I'm currently living in Japan and the z2 is definitely my ideal phone.

However, the launcher is a launcher specific to Japan, and I'm not exactly a big fan of it.

Does anyone know if it is possible to change it to the stock Sony launcher without root? I will probably root it, but just for warranty purposes I'm not sure if I will or not.

Also, does anyone know if the bootloader is unlockable on this model?

Any other general advice about buying a phone in Japan would be great as well.

Also would roms for the D6503 work for this model?

Thanks in advance for any help!
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tea-Aholic:
Launcher can be changed just by installing an APK.

Go to DOCOMO store and open up the phone and type in *#*#7378423#*#* and check if the bootloader can be unlocked.

Phone should be locked to DOCOMO, you need to pay a small fee to get it unlocked. You need to make at least one call on an active DOCOMO SIM to complete the SIM unlock.

I don't think D6503 will work, it may depending on the hardware. The SO-03F has a 1Seg tuner inside and may have different radio to access the docomo Xi LTE network.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bl1tZ7:
Brilliant, thanks for the info man, really appreciate it.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loveninecube:
docomo Xperia Z2 (SO-03F) has stock Xperia Launcher.

You can change docomo original launcher and stock Xperia launcher as you like.

but All Japanese Xperia models can't unlock bootloader, Japanese Career Model is locked bootloder.

You can flash D6503 Roms on docomo SO-03F, but some feathers are disabled.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] romeokk:
In the case of Xperia Z, SO-02E rom can be flashed on C6602 and C6603. I think it should work on the other way around. Xperia Z2 should be the same way as well. The only concern is that you will absolutely lose oneseg/fullseg tv and mobile payment. I think the only main concern on Docomo Xperia is not the launcher but the annoying phonebook and dialer.

To be honest, even I'm using Xperia Z2 but when I went to Tsukumo and spent some times with SH-04F, I liked it more. It has better audio output via headphone, Bigger screen but not so big. My only concern is that I don't live there, I was just a tourist so updating device could be a real pain.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jameswood24:
From my understanding the only real difference was the 16GB vs the 32GB of internal storage. But there is a place in Shibuya that said they would be selling it unlocked real soon called Mobile Japan..
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroPlus:
Did you hear that in docomo shop in Shibuya?

If Sony Mobile Japan plans to release unlocked SO-03F, I'll wait for it!

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] armyranger172:
As the title says, I have been having trouble with my alarm clock on my m8. I always use my phone as my alarm clock and one day it didn't go off. So I bought a 3rd party app thinking this would fix it and it did for 2 days, but then again on the 3rd day it didn't go off.

I have it set to repeat every day except for my days off. I have vibrate turned off. I also checked to make sure it wasn't on my task manager's white list. I am on viperone, but not sure what in the ROM would allow it to work every so often. I mean 2 to 3 times out of my work week it will go off. So I'm not sure why it doesn't sometimes.

I have been so paranoid that it won't go off that I have kept my old s4 as a back up. Which I would like to sell, but I want to make sure I can get up in the morning. I have ask my wife to set her phone alarm for me, but she gets really upset because I wake up at 4:30 am every day. Please any ideas would be much appreciated.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] 1ManWolfePack:
Same thing happened to me the other day.

I would suggest selling your S4 and using $15 of the proceeds to buy an alarm clock. Win win.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] armyranger172:
I agree I could just get an alarm clock... I may even still have one from back in the day. My only problem is my wife. The alarm I have on my phone is quiet and gets louder as it goes off (when it works). For some reason my wife can sleep through that. Lol. You know the saying happy wife, happy life.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Abe21599:
any task killing going on? thats usually the main cause for alarms not going off ive found.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] 1ManWolfePack:
Use the rest of the proceeds from the S4 and buy a new wife. Shipping might run a little extra, but now we've killed two birds with one stone.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Karl:
did you check alarm volume :silly:
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] armyranger172:
Yes, I googled the problem and task manager, vibrate, and volume were the only answers people had. That's why I came here hoping to find some smarter people. Lol

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] armyranger172:
Hey I was wondering what ROM you are running. I don't know if it is because I'm on viperone, but if you were running that also then I might try my luck in that thread.

[Samsung Gear Fit] pRo_lama:
I wanted to update firmware as many others, but I got error message in ODIN and now I don't know what to do. I was trying to flash UPADTE package in CSC and PDA and everytime I got this error. After that I tried to flash firmware with AP,BL and CSC, but result was same. Also Kies can't recover my firmware. :crying:
[Samsung Gear Fit] pRo_lama:
Finally I managed to restore the firmware. I turned off the Gear for a few minutes, downloaded a firmware again and tried re-flash firmware. Successfully.
[Samsung Gear Fit] _EriK_:
Same as any phone on the market. :good:
[Samsung Gear Fit] kapnos84:
I need to change firmware too

what have you used at the end? odin or whatelse? which version?

thanks
[Samsung Gear Fit] pRo_lama:
Only one program can be used. ODIN 3.09.5. :good:
[Samsung Gear Fit] kapnos84:
can I ask you 2 more questions...which program (anyone particular for gear fit?) to make a back up before starting? and: where can I firmwares? any links?

many many thanks
[Samsung Gear Fit] pRo_lama:
Firmware can be found here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2748974 - and till now there is not backup option.
[Samsung Gear Fit] kapnos84:
and can I update it with kies in the future after the flashing ? is this firmware linked to any country or is it international...?

let me explain: My issue is that I just bought gear fit in Japan, but has no sleep app inside. so I would like to turn it in Iralian (i am italian) or even in any othercountry firmware but to have the full app set.
[Samsung Gear Fit] pRo_lama:
On first start you have to connect your Gear Fit with Samsung device, because Gear Fit will probably need to download new update. After that you can connect with others devices.

After this problem which is in OP I flash ND8 firmware (link which I sent you) and everything is working. Also Gear Fit has everthing set according to my S4 (language and CSC).
[Samsung Gear Fit] kapnos84:
already paired and linked with my note 3: it has latest update... but kie says to me I have the following Firmware: PDA ND8 / CSC ND8 (XJP) ... and I was told that italian one is PDA ND8 / CSC ND8 (ITV) so I can imagine that xjp is for japan and lacks sleep stuff... what if you go to kies...what is in () in your version ?? but the most important: DO YOU HAVE THE SLEEP app other than eart rate, pedometer and exercise???
[Samsung Gear Fit] pRo_lama:
My CSC is XEZ which is Czech Republic, but I live in Slovak republic. We are neighbours so I don't care. :laugh: But I have all features. You can maybe try to flash firmware from URL which I gave to you.
[Samsung Gear Fit] kapnos84:
I will definitely try flashing my gear fit with your firmware. I just need all the features. No more.

Dou you think than after that you can update the gear fot using Kies again or no?

Thanks by the way. I will let you know when I come back to Italy.
[Samsung Gear Fit] pRo_lama:
I don't see any problem why update should not work. Kies recognize my device without any problems.
[Samsung Gear Fit] zack89:
are there any new functions with the new firmware or y u all update it?

I have old ND8 firmware. But AFAIK in NDC is nothing new. Maybe some bugs were fixed. New is maybe pop-up window in mobile as is shown here.

[Samsung Gear Fit] pRo_lama:
Turn off your Gear for 15-20 minutes. After that download ND8 firmware and put these files into ODIN 3.09.5. And try to flash again. I had the same problem and I tried to flash FW in to Gear many times but nothing. So I just turned off my device and tried it later. And it worked. :cowboy:

Try to use Kies 3 for "Emergency Firmware Recovery" or "Firmware upgrade and Initialisation". I think that will not work because I tried it, but Kies download some files for Gear. After that you can try ODIN again, but shut down all Kies processes. After this step I was was able to flash FW into Gear. So you can try it.
[Samsung Gear Fit] issambres:
I tried that, Kies started the process but stopped, then, ODIN is not working...

I reinstalled Kies, and I managed to reinstall firmware ND8 fully using "Firmware upgrade and Initialisation" on both Gear Fit !!

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sfreemanoh:
Every so often my M8 will basically become disconnected from the network. This NORMALLY appears when I'm in a low coverage zone, and it's as if my phone just doesn't want to reconnect when I get back into a higher coverage area.

For instance at my gym, I frequently get a weak signal, but it's usually 4G. Sometimes it'll drop to 3G, and then sometimes when I get back into an area of the gym that has 4G coverage my phone will say it's still on 3G. However, there's actually no connectivity at all, and I need to either reboot or toggle airplane mode to get a connection again.

Sometimes (at least 2-3 times in the last week) it happened while, at least to the best of my knowledge, I was in a 4G area (though with weak coverage) the entire time. Again I fixed it each time by toggling airplane.

Has anyone else seen an issue like this? It's frustrating as hell. And more importantly has anyone heard of a fix for this?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Sevinex:
Yep, actually I had a thread about this a while back; I tried just about everything (other ROMs, new sim cards, factory resets, the whole shebang) and my only solution so far (if you intend on keeping your current phone) is to completely unroot my phone, along with removing all root-related applications (namely Xposed). It still happens from time to time, but a lot less frequently then when rooted and running Xposed modules. I have a new phone coming in today from Verizon, so hopefully that unit will not have any of these issues... I still am not entirely sure what causes it, though it is definitely exacerbated by Xposed. Hopefully some of this helps? If you have any further questions feel free to ask, either through PM or this here thread.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] wooddale:
I am having same did getting new phone help? I think its just crappy radios myself nothing to do with root exposed or anything.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Sevinex:
I have a new phone now, and so far I haven't experienced any data connectivity issues. This morning I did notice that my SMS were not sending properly, but that issue has since faded away, so hopefully it was Verizon network based... Anyways, I will try reinstalling Xposed and a couple modules later today (likely Snapshare and the Sense 6 Toolbox) and will report back sometime tomorrow or the next on how it goes. Fingers crossed...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] wooddale:
Thanks keep us informed.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Sevinex:
Lol, so after installing Xposed, I suddenly started having issues maintaining a solid 4G connection; 3G works fine, just whenever I do manage to connect to 4G I am unable to use any data (says I am connected to the mobile network, but I do not get any upload or download data movement). Even after removing Xposed and all associated modules, I am still experiencing this problems. I am going in today/Monday to get a new SIM card (hopefully this is what is causing my issues) but goddamn I just cannot seem to catch a break in terms of my phones' data connection. If the above doesn't work I may have to send for another phone, though after having now received three replacements this entire process is getting a little irksome... I really do love this phone, but it seems as if it is my M8 is rejecting my love from every angle.

UPDATE: The new SIM didn't do anything, I still am having 4G issues, so another phone it is...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] biswasd:
it's not just your phone....

a lot of feedback on the web across multiple carriers of the poor lte signal retention on this phone.....this is starting to sound like a hardware defect or a major "radio" software glitch.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] wooddale:
I dumped mine could not handle it anymore get rid of it before you loose any more money. I have had a lot of phones when there bad from the start they don't usually get any better. The Droid Bionic being the only exception.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] berndblb:
I had the same problem with my new M8 when travelling from/to areas with low or no data coverage back to areas where I knew there was a LTE signal. Only toggling Airplane Mode would make the data reconnect. That problem was solved for me with a new sim card.

I also had very bad data connectivity at home in a major southern California city (best was -105 dBm) whereas I got up to -83 dBm in some rural town in Arizona.

Read trook's posts #34 and up here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=53838257

Some of these problems may be connected to the new data service VZW is rolling out.

I would wait a few weeks before ditiching this phone. 'Cause it rocks!!! :D
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] biswasd:
bull**** phone

it has nothing to do with the AWS rollout - i have a Verizon Galaxy S5 sitting right next to my M8 ---- guess what - consistent data speeds on the s5 (15 mbs down)......on the m8 (3-4mbs down) - and the data flucutates and in the signal meter , I'm getting about -6db less on the M8 than the s5.

trust me, i so desperately want to keep this phone, b/c quite frankly, i hate the amoled screen on the s5, but alas, i cant keep a phone that doesn't work well
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] berndblb:
Did you have to do that?! You just ruined my evening! That's really not what I wanted to hear!

But thanks anyway for posting. Even if it hurt...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] biswasd:
cold hard facts

yes - sorry bro - i'm quite disappointed by what i am seeing with my own two eyes as well as all the others across the US and the rest of the world who are experiencing the SAME symptoms. so this is not a verizon network issue --

me thinks its a faulty radio which is causing bad handoffs between 3g and 4g (LTE). once the phone drops down to 3g, it never regains 4g signal for some reason. also, there is the issue of the constant signal fluctuations even when the phone is on LTE...so who knows. maybe combo of bad radio and poor quality antenna module.

i'm not a phone engineer but i have enough common sense and knowledge about phones to know a lemon when i see one......so, yup, i'm keeping the s5 and return the m8 tomorrow under the 14 day guarantee from verizon. shame....
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] berndblb:
To tell the truth I have been reading about the same issue on the general M8 forum - probably just didn't want to make the connection.... So thanks for opening my eyes.

I'm hoping for bad radio software that may get fixed with some future update (although my 6th sense tells me it's the bad antenna module....)

Too late for me for a clean exchange. Gonna have to read the Squaretrade fine print.....

Has anyone installed the WWE version of Dopod 838 Pro into Dopod CHT9000 Traditional CHinese version. Tks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] J Cat:
YES

...and before people dogpile on you and tell you to SEARCH,

I'll tell you what to search for: "HERMES" with "language"

The easiest thing for you to do is use the latest WWE (English) ROM from your part of the world.

The installation trick is that it WILL fail. Don't disconnect or touch the machine... close the install tool on the PC and run it again.

In Asia? Use the English Dopod ROM. Later you can experiment and settle on something more stable.

I currently use the i-mate ROM but with the DOPOD Extended ROM (most of it) because I'm in Asia (TW) and need the local provider's customizations.

I had to reset before it installed the i-mate (UK) stuff.

A good place to start is here: The Hermes Wiki...
