[Xperia Z1 General] hpl912:
Yes another think i forgot to mention was the battery life. it indeed lasts longer than the Z1 under same usage.

I don't know about the paint but for me when i went to purchase the Z2, from a brand new sealed box there were spots with paint chipping around the phone at the line where the paint meets the mat finish. I asked for another unit as i find it unacceptable. Opened a second box and samething but less chipping. Ended up taking the second unit as most probably a 3rd box will be the same. This wasn't happening when i purchased the Z1 so my assumption of the cheap QC or paint quality on the Z2 :rolleyes:
[Xperia Z1 General] KBEscalona:
For Me the looks of Z1 with internals of Z2.
[Xperia Z1 General] AgroCPU:
i like the z1 more than z2 too and in synthetic benchmark like antutu z1 have an average score about 31k, z2 29k... and the biggest difference (in my opinion) are the 3gb ram and the ips screen ...the snapdragon 801 (msm8974ab) is just an oc´ed version of the snapdragon800(msm8974vv)

i´m going to buy z3 but i hate the rounded cornors from z2 so i stay on my z1 ..
[Xperia Z1 General] karans76:
Even i felt the same when i held the phone in my hand. The aluminium frame on Z2 feels less sturdy than the one on Z1. And for things under the hood, Z1 is no less capable than Z2. They are almost in same league. It is only the software part making the difference. And as far as screen is concerned, yes it has far better screen than the Z1(not to forget the elimination of ASF on Z2).
[Xperia Z1 General] kezown:
The sharper corners do look better imho
[Xperia Z1 General] Dpk1:
Although this is a bit off topic but I had to say this. Benchmarks have very little significance today especially when it comes to smartphones, as most manufacturers (like Samsung / htc etc.) have cheats (built into the rom itself) to boost the scores. Moreover, these benchmarks are neither consistent themselves nor reliable to assess the real life performance of the device. But anyway, since you brought that up, IMO the Z2 still surpasses Z1 most of the times. I did this antutu test on my non rooted (all stock) Z2 only to post here (as I don't really care about such scores) and it scored 35k. See the screenshot below.
[Xperia Z1 General] scarshi:
I personally like the size and style of the Z1. Being 5" in size is perfect for the shelf under the stereo in my car as well as not a problem for my jeans pocket. When you get down to it, unless they invent some sort of flip/double screen phone, bigger isn't better. Nor is the hardware any kind of huge improvement.

My Antutu results are for my Xperia Z1 running DoomLord v21 kernel and RomAur v8.0 that is unlocked and rooted. As you can see its only just under the 35k score for a Z2 running stock rom. But ... specs aren't everything. I just like to have my phone the way I want :p

[Xperia Z1 General] Vengeance66:
I like the Z1 design more than the Z2. I agree that it's iPhone style. I don't usually open the flaps of the phone as I transfer files with Software Data Cable via WiFi and I charge my phone on the docking station.

Simple! :)
[Xperia Z1 General] dlads:
Z2 is a far better looking phone, plus with them nice dual speakers it's a no brainer. Z1 isn't an ugly phone but it's in no way shape or form a better looking device than the Z2, you should have went to specsavers mate.
[Xperia Z1 General] Option58:

[Xperia Z1 General] joecool666:
z1 or z2

theres no need for specsavers, you get what you pay for and imo there is not much diffrance in the two devices, wow the spekers come on, look on gsm, for the SPECS, but i like my z1 and i think it better than the z2 ,performance is of the chart benchmarks that i reach are 36000 plus all stock no tweaks,oh and the z2 is slighty lighter ha ha and alot more expensive,i have just done a benchmark test and my score is 36517, antutu benchmark,
[Xperia Z1 General] dlads:
Not more expensive in carphone warehouse, they're both 33 on contract and sim free price is the same! The dual speakers do make quite a difference, you don't have to cup the solitary speaker like you do on the Z2, everything just feels more refined on the Z2 than it does on the Z1.

Not the biggest leap forward but it's certainly an upgrade.

As for benchmarks, they're not everything but when theres some decent development for the Z2 I'm guessing it'll outperform the Z1 quite easily. The 801 is still an OC'd 800 but it should make the difference.

droid bionic

can this work with a linux distro and the bionic hdmi port... Now cm11 has a working hdmi port it can be like webtop.
[Android Apps and Games] robherc:
I'm not sure about the bionic hdmi port, as I haven't played with one of those yet, but this will allow you to load a linux distro with very nearly 100% functionality, the only real limits to the linux functionality are from not being able to compiler new drivers into the kernel that's stored by android, and the potential lack of some packages/functions in the ARM versions of some linux distributions.

One thing to be aware of, however, since you mentioned CM11, is that there is a glitch caused in the current version of the Complete Linux Installer app by CM11 ROMs which causes you to need to either manually input one command line to start the bootloader script, or set up a widget on your device to do that for you (sorry, it's a CyanogenMod quirk. We're working on it, but so far it's hard to track down since only CM seems to cause it).

[General Questions and Answers] bdbauer:
I have had my phone rooted for about a year. I updated my phone 2 months ago to Quantum kitkat 4.4.2 and I seem to have lost root. I can still reboot into custom recovery, update and install zip files, create backup, etc. yet the phone has lost superuser. I have tried re installing SU via app and zip. It says "the SU binary needs to be updated" Every way i have tried has failed. I have tried rerootin using Framaroot and through terminal emulator using motochopper. none works. When I updated to the newest Kitkat 6.1 kernell yesterday in recovery it said " phone is not rooted would you like to root?" when i said yes it stayed in endless boot loop.

HELP! How can I get root back without factory reset and staying on Quantum kitkat?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] 66racer:
Hi guys,

I might be ditching vzw for at&t and want to use my vzw note 2 on cm11 for a few months before I buy another phone. I am still undecided since im on an unlimited plan, but Im tired of seeing phones I want never get to vzw (nexus to mention one). Honestly also I really am that happy with my note 2 as well and the new stuff isnt appealing enough to drop $700 on.

I see all I need to do is change apn settings but what I cant seem to find is how fast will data speeds actually be (i know area matters) and if I will be able to take full advantage of what is comparable on at&t to vzw's 4g lte. All I know is one resource said I would get an H in the signal area but dont know what that means for data speeds. I can probably live with 8-10Mbps for a few months since I dont watch a ton of youtube on the go, 80% of data use is for music streaming and web browsing.

Thanks for any input.

as it took plenty of hours to build this.

Samsung didn't release the kernel source (not yet) so a lot of debugging was needed to fix problems like the sensors not reporting correctly.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] ramjet73:
I could try, but I'd rather hear from [MENTION=3986004]civato[/MENTION] on this one. Since he provided the stock kernels he must have envisioned a way to return to stock after flashing his kernel but I don't see how the zip files he provided are going to undo the changes to the system partition.

Unfortunately, I haven't seen him around here for a while as I think he is on vacation. If you are using a ROM that comes with a stock kernel you could just re-flash the ROM zip file but if you are using his FlexNote ROM that's not going to work since it includes his SphereKat kernel and I don't think there is an Aroma option to flash stock.

ramjet73
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] CCallahan:
Just curious but why the decision to use the stock kernel over SphereKat? It is not set very aggressive by default and can be tweaked to your liking. Also, you get the added benefit of greater SPen accuracy. What do you see as advantages with the stock kernel?

Forgive me if you already answered this and I missed it.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] ramjet73:
Just flash it over the default (SphereKat 4.0) kernel.

There's some debate about the need to clear cache and dalvik after flashing a kernel but I would do it just to be safe. It can't hurt anything but does make your first boot a little longer.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] ramjet73:
Chromecast mirroring doesn't yet.

Samsung has it's own screen mirroring based on Miracast but that's not compatible with Chromecast and requires a Samsung Allshare Cast adapter unless that feature is built into your TV.

Google has only implemented Chromecast screen mirroring on a few Nexus devices so far and doing it with anything else is going to be a hack at this point.

I read it, and it's still a hack. Note that it needs some extra support modules that aren't part of every KitKat ROM.

If you want it badly enough, the instructions are in that thread to install it on other devices. I've used it on my Nexus 5 and IMO it's not a big enough deal to muck up a perfectly good ROM. You need a Chromecast to even try it.

Another reminder that this is the SphereKat kernel thread and the questions you are asking belong in the FlexNote ROM thread.
