Hi! Ok, only for the record, until yesterday I was able to got my Z2 from never-msrp store on ebay (I purchased it past week the last of the $599 deal), and I can confirm that the black model came with noise-cancelling headphones and with charging dock. I am really glad and happy, the box came totally fine and sealed, and so the z2 and the rest of the stuff.

As reading what the other people told about the black model from this store, it seems that is the Taiwan version, but apart from the chinese paper, the phone is fully global and with all the laguages available for config. About the others colors report I may wonder if may be this store have different versions lots in warehouse about the diferent colors, since seems that by now only the black ones have reported the noise-cancelling headphones included.

By now, upgraded to .402 version that was made OTA and set up totally right, but right now I downloading .69 ftf firmware to downgrade in order to root and install recovery and DoomLord kernel :)

Best Regards to all!

Do you mind sharing what batch is it?

Thanks
[Xperia Z2 General] thehaman:
Ended up ordering one from FGS off amazon. I hope mine doesn't come with any major defects. Fingers crossed!
[Xperia Z2 General] xaser66:
Hi!

Ok, I dont mind about info about lot (but I would not post IMEI number), i may share partial info about S/N: BH90N5XXXX, where XXXX are four last number, the other data that may help is SI 1281-1388.2 ZT (that is a code just below the item description on label)....

Anyway, by others posts info that I am reading about rooting and stuff I almost sure that is a Taiwan version, and I almost bet that the reason that S*NY includes the couple of cool accesories may be for make the Z2 package more atractive just in the land of the home of the ONE-M8... ;)

Hope it may helps.

Best regards to all! :)
[Xperia Z2 General] tel033:
Thanks! But I meant production week 14wXX.. :D
[Xperia Z2 General] aeroman1:
is the charge North America model?
[Xperia Z2 General] quailallstar:
No it is the one for Asia. I picked up an oem NA charger on e-bay for 10 bucks.
[Xperia Z2 General] aeroman1:
thanks. you get Hong Kong version. you should get the dock, right? the deal is back today.

[Xperia Z2 General] cristian.drac:
I wanted to buy it but since I'am in Belgium with VAT at customs I should pay 550 euro for the phone :(
[Xperia Z2 General] xaser66:
Hi! sorry by delay answer, I was somewhat busy past days.... as I already said, the labels in the box are in Chinese, so, I didn't found any data that may seems somewhat like "14wXX" :D : D :D

By now my Z2 is rooted, unlocked Boot and with RomAur installed, so, if the production week is somewhat in the original firmware info, I am affraid that is lost by now, by other way, if may be in some other place that may be not altered, if you could give me a clue where to look for , I would try to found the date of this production lot.

Anyway, by reading other posts about the Noise Cancelling Headphones, it seems that is a accesory that Sony includes only in some regions packages as a bonus (and seems that in fact almost all the Z2 packages that come from Carriers around do not include them at least that is clearly stated by Carrier or label on box...)

So, by now I suppose that from the store of this topic, seems that only the black ones are from a lot that include original magnetic dock and NC headphones.

Best Reagrds to all! :)
[Xperia Z2 General] ZPaul2Fresh8:
The number you're looking for in on the sim tray.
[Xperia Z2 General] xaser66:
Hi! Well...I just checked, got out my Sim tray and looking around pretty well with a led flashlight and nope... No luck in see any number like that except for the small text "off" just near the red reset button... May be if you upload a picture where shows the number on your phone's sim tray... ;)

Best regards!
[Xperia Z2 General] xaser66:
Aaaahhh!... OK... But that is NOT the SIM CARD TRAY!!!... ;) ....is the SD Card TRAY!! :D ...and I didnt noticeit previously, but so interesting way to put a label! LOL!

And I checked it and the lot seems that is 14w20... only for the case that may be still useful for the record... :P

By the way... what so amazing phone is the Z2... in my case, It really surpasses the awesome feeling when I got my S3-i9300 (that also I was lucky , in that I got it too, around a month later after world annouce) few years ago...

Best Regards to all! ;)
[Xperia Z2 General] ZPaul2Fresh8:
Yes I wasn't thinking when I typed that lol. I got my Z2 today and it's 14w22. The screen looks good. No gaps seen and the camera is centered ?
[Xperia Z2 General] twolfekc:
Same here
[Xperia Z2 General] tel033:
Where did you buy it from?
[Xperia Z2 General] ZPaul2Fresh8:
Ebay from the user never-msrp.
[Xperia Z2 General] Kmac_thp:
Did you get the headphones or charger?
[Xperia Z2 General] ZPaul2Fresh8:
Regular headphones. No dock. Converter for European to US but scared to use it after it sparked while plugging it in! Going to buy a quality end piece tomorrow.
[Xperia Z2 General] Kmac_thp:
Ok. Mine should arrive tomorrow. Or Thursday.
[Xperia Z2 General] fsrkewd:
what color did you get?
[Xperia Z2 General] ZPaul2Fresh8:
The only logical color. Black ?
[Xperia Z2 General] aiqbal09:
Got mine today from the same seller. Came with the mouse canceling headphones but no dock. Overall love the phone.
[Xperia Z2 General] MOPKOBKA:
I am scared to buy from this user, all S5 she sells are actually just replica. And after reading many posts about obvious QA problems with Z2 I can conclude they sell kind of not passing QA batch. A good thing that there is no replicas of Z2, so you still get kind of genuine.
[Xperia Z2 General] Sango2:
Does it really block the squeaking? :D
[Xperia Z2 General] aiqbal09:
Lmao Damm auto correct.
[Xperia Z2 General] fsrkewd:
replica? any link to the replica? I looked at the store and can't seem to find them

---------- Post added at 01:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:59 AM ----------

some people were able to get the noise cancelling headphone and dock when ordering black. i guess this seller has other batch now
[Xperia Z2 General] unni_kmr:
Looks like the $599.99 deal is back.

Just ordered for $629.99 yesterday from here. Its the same seller. Don't know why he has two separate listings with two different prices. Even the one I ordered for $629.99 became $619.98.

Edit: In the $599.99 listing, he has mentioned the phone as in "New Condition". That's the only difference I could find between these two.
[Xperia Z2 General] aiqbal09:
I got the 599 one and was sealed brand new.
[Xperia Z2 General] Kmac_thp:
Mine arrived today brand new with the headphones. Too bad my M8 takes the smaller Sim card. Wtf
[Xperia Z2 General] tel033:
Anyone tried to return it to msrp because of the overheating issue?
[Xperia Z2 General] w84mike:
What a great deal!

Just ordered a black one at this same great price. Thanks for this thread, quailallstar - I was looking at it for about $40 more elsewhere, so will put that $40 toward the sd card. Very happy about this deal! :)

Mike
[Xperia Z2 General] quailallstar:
Not a problem at all! I'm actually selling my Z2. I never ended up using it believe it or not. Solid phone but priorities have shifted right now. If you know anyone wanting one, check my signature below for info.
[Xperia Z2 General] aeroman1:
get mine from never-mrsp today, no dock, no NC earphone, most likely singapore version:crying: . kind of unlucky to not to get hongkong or taiwan version
[Xperia Z2 General] fsrkewd:
which color did you order?
[Xperia Z2 General] aeroman1:
white. stuck at verion 69, no 402 OTA, how to fix?
[Xperia Z2 General] yroc2183:
ordered from never-msrp too about 2 wks ago..i ended up getting the NC headphones the dock and the USA adapter/plug...only thing that sucks is i have a lil gap between the bezel and screen on front top right and front bottom left(very minimal)

debating if i should just suck it up and keep it since i got the dock, NC headphones n USA adapter. I have contacted her about the issue and i have not activated the phone yet...not sure if the gap will affect the water proof/dust proof - ness of the phone???

oh ya my batch number was 14w20 and its a black z2

Thoughts?
[Xperia Z2 General] Slash8915:
I live in Houston. Would be nice If I could just go buy one from them directly, to make sure I got one of the latest builds.
[Xperia Z2 General] quailallstar:
I asked them this and they told me they are not open to the public?!?! Distributor only I guess.
[Xperia Z2 General] fsrkewd:
ordered from the same seller last week, and received it today

it comes with the dock but no noise cancelling headphone
[Xperia Z2 General] aiqbal09:
the headphones are actually really good.
[Xperia Z2 General] unni_kmr:
I ordered from never-msrp last week and received it today. Sadly, it looks like the package was already opened and somebody put a new seal. Othen than the box in the picture, the package also included a US style power adapter.

Update: Seller gave me a new device. This one is perfect. She also refunded $30 since the price had dropped by the time the returned device reached her.
[Xperia Z2 General] aeroman1:
just contact seller , return and rebuy.
[Xperia Z2 General] aeroman1:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sony-Xperia...l_Phones&hash=item462296e3d5&afepn=5337259887

$579 now
[Xperia Z2 General] quailallstar:
Nice!
[Xperia Z2 General] unni_kmr:
Returned. They have shipped a new one. It will reach tomorrow. Hope so it will be fine. They also refunded me $30 since the current price is $599.99.
[Xperia Z2 General] erapmicks:
Hi guys, would like to buy a Z2, Im just wondering on the box or on the phone what does it say WHERE its made from? Japan? China?

Thanks guys!
[Xperia Z2 General] irishrally:
Available directly from Sony now in the US for $699:http://store.sony.com/xperia-z2-zid...d-Phones?vva_ColorCode=000000&_t=pfm=category

Edit: It says "backordered, ship date unknown" if you try to check out.
[Xperia Z2 General] aeroman1:
it is D6503. that means we got US warranty no matter how we get it
[Xperia Z2 General] lovemyram4x4:
Hopefully that will be soon since I need to get mine fixed/replaced and I don't think the ebay seller is going to help me out for this.

Sent from my D6503 using Xparent Red Tapatalk 2
[Xperia Z2 General] XperiaLover:
in Erbil (northern Iraq) the prices for Z2 is $574. It is sad to see how Sony mobile prices are dropping this much within few weeks!!! wasn't worth paying $780 for the same device in May??
[Xperia Z2 General] quailallstar:
I would still rather pay less and risk not having warranty than buying from Sony US for that price. Are they high?
[Xperia Z2 General] Sango2:
High in a way. Canada also has it for $699 CAD but because of the exchange, US is more expensive for $699 USD.
[Xperia Z2 General] knoxploration:
Way, way, way high.

I just bought a new 6503 from a reputable retailer with noise canceling headphones, two original docks, 32GB MicroSDHC card, 18-month aftermarket warranty and two-day shipping, and it still cost me less than the phone alone, unshipped with sales tax from Sony USA direct.
[Xperia Z2 General] irishrally:
Sounds like you got a good deal. Where did you buy?
[Xperia Z2 General] knoxploration:
Expansys. Third time I've done business with them.
[Xperia Z2 General] samven582:
Newegg has it for $599

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875212309

but their return policy isnt so great
[Xperia Z2 General] sam_conrad:
I just bought the phone from never-msrp @ ebay for $592.99 yesterday. I kind of wish I'd known newegg had it for $599.

Buying it out of Sony's reseller network, with the issues that people have had with screen gaps and failed waterproofing, I'm kind of worried if I ever have to use the warranty. A big selling point of this phone for me was the ability to use it underwater.
[Xperia Z2 General] dandv:
Amazon + SquareTrade warranty, vs. eBay International warraty

So Amazon has the Z2 for $592, no warranty but Amazon's great 30-day return policy. You can get SquareTrader warranty for some amount like $80/year?

Then on eBay, it's $640 with 1 year International warranty (you have to ship to Taiwan or Hong Kong) (and it also includes the noise-canceling earphones and the magnetic dock).

I live in the US. What option should I get?
[Xperia Z2 General] knoxploration:
Go with Expansys. They'll help you get warranty coverage through the manufacturer for the first six months free of charge, and 18 months if you pay a small fee. And the phone is currently $600 from them, too.
[Xperia Z2 General] dandv:
Expansys has bad reviews

Hm... Expansys has pretty bad reviews on ResellerRatings, 6.5/10 out of 1,500 reviews.
[Xperia Z2 General] methodz:
Ah screw it. Just bought from never msrp for $685!!!
[Xperia Z2 General] knoxploration:
All I can say is that I've bought from them three times now, and every time without issue.
[Xperia Z2 General] sam_conrad:
Whatever you do, don't buy from never-msrp. I don't care how many of you had a successful purchase, it's best to be avoided from now on.

They've sent me an Xperia Z1 C6903 instead of the Z2D6503. I've had to open a case on ebay now to get my money back. The best part? I HAVE TO LEAVE TOMORROW.

I am leaving to go on vacation to go to a remote part of West Virginia, and I DO NOT HAVE INTERNET ACCESS. How the f*** am I supposed to go through with resolving the case when I don't have internet access?

On a level of 1 to 10, call me "exploding".
[Xperia Z2 General] compuguy1088:
That sucks, though it sounds like a screwup on their part. Ordered from them and got a z2 a couple of weeks ago.
[Xperia Z2 General] knoxploration:
FYI, my order showed fine a few days ago, and was just as described. They even broke it into multiple shipments for me free of charge. (My docks were backordered a couple of days.)
[Xperia Z2 General] robstunner:
I got mine from them and not only were they within an hour of replying to my messages but shipped out quickly and I got what I ordered. People make mistakes, you shouldn't have ordered something a day before leaving on vacation.
[Xperia Z2 General] glovesave:
my z2 arrived fine

I got my Z2 (D6503) from never-msrp just fine with dk-36 and some useless car charger but it was a good transaction for 550 :)
[Xperia Z2 General] sam_conrad:
I ordered it four days before leaving, and the "Free Expedited Shipping" wasn't so expedited.

Furthermore, my other device is rather broken (calls, camera, touchscreen issues, random reboots, 2hr battery life), and I was in large need of an upgrade, so this phone was to replace it.

You never order something like this and expect the completely wrong item to be shipped to you. Had it been defective, it would have been different. That would have been something I could have expected running into a little trouble with. But I wanted this phone and the camera to take with me on vacation because I didn't want to lug my DSLR around.

To update my situation, never-msrp actually contacted me by phone while I was on vacation and after some talking, I was taken care of pretty well with a full refund plus return shipping cost. However, I still am unsure whether I want to try to buy from them again, I haven't replaced my old device yet.

At that time, they were at the normal retail price of $599, same as authorized dealers, with no guarantee of the dock...$543 w/ DK36 dock sweetens the deal quite a bit. As far as being within an hour of replying to you? That's good for you, but I had to wait 3 days twice.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saint168:
Last week I rooted my phone at htcdev.com, installed CWM touch custom recovery, then flashed Android_Revolution_HD_Root_and_BusyBox.zip. When I ran SuperSU, I got the message "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem." I have not try to flash a new ROM yet.

BTW, Fastboot is showing TAMPERED and UNLOCKED.

Was there something I missed?

Thank you for the help.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clsA:
Download this and flash it in recovery the same as a rom

http://download.chainfire.eu/396/SuperSU
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iElvis:
This is a common problem. Reflashing SuperSU in recovery almost always resolves it. I keep the most recent recovery-flashable version of SuperSU on my phone for this very reason.

Also, ARHD and CWM don't always play well together. You should switch to TWRP if you're staying on that rom.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saint168:
That worked, thank you.

[Galaxy Ace S5830i Android Development] SpaceCaker:
Welcome Dear Users.

We are Team Touchwiz-Resurection.

In these past 3/4 months we have been working on bringing a new version of our old Resurection Rom.

During this process we have made some amazing work and optimizations/theming, thanks to this we came on an idea that I ( SpaceCaker ) saw earlier on xda.

That we would make a new thread.

This is done due to 1. Old touchwiz resurection rom was Bringing S4 Ui and such to galaxy ace that was the Resurection . 2. this version is very heavily changed between these 2 Roms, so we came to the idea to make new thread as some users love S4 Ui and some love S5 Ui, we only came on this idea due to the amount of work and time we have spent in this new S5 version.

So please dont complain or yell from "Dude you could have made a new post" etc.

We wont. We wanted a sort of New Start but keep the old rom intact so that users could still use those versions, so they can easily change roms.

Kind Regards, SpaceCaker@XDA

So?

[Galaxy Ace S5830i Android Development] Vishnu pv:
Some Faqs:

1. Why Some settings need reboot to apply?

A. This is done because we needed to bypass the settings, system options and to put our own values inside by using "CUSTOM_VALUE" for making custom java functions.

2. Why the 'Lockscreen Wallpaper Chooser' in display/lockscreen FCs?

A. This is due to removal of old wallpaper chooser. This is on our to do in V2, but due to limited time, we haven't had enough time to fix this. BTW, Gallery option works though ;)
