[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greenpharmer:
same here

Recently rooted my s5 via towelroot, installed su and busybox. Then installed xposed this morning. Phones super slow and unresponsive at times.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgz32610:
I'm having the exact problem with my gs5 900A (at&t). I have installed and uninstalled the Xposed framework twice on my gs5 and both times, the phone immediately runs sluggish. When I try to type, the keys lag and stay depressed long after I tap them on the keyboard. No way I can stand a phone behaving like this so the only solution is to uninstall Xposed. I'm using version 2.6.1, not 2.7 which is known to be buggy. This behavior begins before I install any modules.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krazy006:
Im having similar issues majority of my freezing is on my stock s5 keyboard. And s health closes every 5 minutes
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sakubo:
Same issue as described on the previous posts
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Huntman50:
+Same here. I enjoy the modules. Hopefully there is a fix/update soon
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] wbaner:
I was trying to fix one problem and ended up making another.. Anyone know if the plastic piece that has the latch on the mother board (zif connector maybe?) that holds the ribbon for the charger can be replaced? The tablet still works but I can now no longer charge it or plug it into the computer. If its not possible to fix that then is wireless charging possible? I know I still wouldn't be able to sync with the computer but I would be good with that as long as I can charge it.

Below is a pic of what im talking about
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] fkofilee:
Erm ouch, im no electrician but i think you may have ****ed it...

Right well best thing i can suggest is that a Samsung repair agent might have to look at it.

(Or you could find the pieces on the Interwebs for it)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] mustbepbs:
I've done this a few times to laptop motherboards years ago. Just use some high quality tape to make sure the connection is complete. If it comes undone you'll just have to redo it, but if you use good tape you shouldn't have to. Definitely not the end of the world, they're just cheap plastic clips.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] dt33:
Even u manage to wireless charge it and how is tablet suppose to get power from the battery?

The zif connector is cheap, but alot hasssle to remove the board and dont know if the EMI shield is soldered into the board or with screw like Note 10.1 had.

Hard to see from this disassemble video. (scroll to end)

If u got good soldering skills and can find the zif connector part. Then its worth a try.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] warboat:
Backyard repairs ;)

All you need to do is achieve 2 things.

1. Locate it so that the cable contacts line up with the pins in the connector.

2. Apply pressure on the cable so it has good contact.

Using your fingers put pressur on it and check that its charging when plugged into the usb.

Then tape it in position.

To get the pressure on it, cut a piece of plastic and tape it on the area where it contacts the pins.

Then cut some rubber so that its thick enough such that it puts pressure on that plastic bit when its put back together.

Tape that rubber in position and put cover back on.

Should last, but if not just redo it again and get the rubber thickness right.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] wbaner:
haha.. I was messing around and figured this out.. only I put a piece of cardboard box on it and taped it.. put the cover back on it and its charging again.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] wbaner:
Well it says charging but the percent is still going down? :eek:

Going to power off the tablet and see what happens.. ugh

Also watched the video that was posted and I cant really tell much from the video.. if you can just buy one of those sockets and have it put on the motherboard then I will go that route.

Just picked up a white Z2! I've been waiting for this deal to come around again and the wait paid off :good:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/221447349158

Get em' while they last!

Deal looks to be dead now.
[Xperia Z2 General] Sango2:
Oh nice!!! never-msrp has them on for sale again! I got mine during the first time around this seller had it for sale.

-----------

Not to hijack the post but since we're talking about Ebay...; Any reliable sellers for the accessories for the Sony headphones?
[Xperia Z2 General] quailallstar:
What were the contents of your box? :) Euro or NA charger?
[Xperia Z2 General] Sango2:
The one never-msrp was selling is the HK version. It has the Asia/Europe AC adapter. The seller did include an adapter so I can use it in North America.

I'm not too worried about it, I was thinking of getting a NA charger as a spare so I don't have to deal with a big Euro/Asia AC plug even thou I can use it. :)
[Xperia Z2 General] quailallstar:
That works for me. I just got the NA charger off ebay for $10 and genuine too.
[Xperia Z2 General] coolmingli:
Deal is good, but you don't get the noise cancellation earbud and desktop charger.
[Xperia Z2 General] tel033:
Do you know a deal that includes?
[Xperia Z2 General] irishrally:
This package include the noise canceling headset and DK36 dock:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Sony-Xp...1167272353?pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item4d1b1b8da1

@$599 you can just buy the accessories for about the same price.

Headphones: $55

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sony-MDR-NC...54917746?pt=US_Headphones&hash=item338fbde072

Dock: $37

http://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Sony-DK36-Magnetic-Charging/dp/B00HWUQEZQ
[Xperia Z2 General] eallan:
It absolutely comes with the magnetic dock.
[Xperia Z2 General] irishrally:
Don't think so

Box Contents:

Sony Xperia Z2

Headphones (not Noise Canceling model)

MicroUSB Cable

Mains Charger

Documentation
[Xperia Z2 General] eallan:
I've bought two from them at different times. Both had a magnetic dock.
[Xperia Z2 General] coolmingli:
I sent a email to the seller ask if it was included ,the seller replied no.

Still a very good deal for someone don't want the earphone and dock.
[Xperia Z2 General] lovemyram4x4:
I got mine from them and it came with magnetic dock, noise canceling headphones and US charger. Some others also got the same, others didn't since they get them from various markets.

At that price who cares which extras you get if any.

Sent from my D6503 using Xparent Red Tapatalk 2
[Xperia Z2 General] aeroman1:
does it include the dock?

does it include the dock?
[Xperia Z2 General] Ben Ling:
In Malaysia,it only costs RM1899 for non-Sony warranty

That's around 592 USD

But in the package includes the charging dock,but without noise-cancelling earphone.
[Xperia Z2 General] charlie460:
Probably depends on when you ordered. I ordered from this seller a week or two ago and got the noise cancelling earbuds and flip case, but no dock.
[Xperia Z2 General] itsxiao:
I ordered mine the last time they had this sale. It does indeed include the DK36 Magnetic dock.
[Xperia Z2 General] cheetah2k:
With all these Z2s with defects, I wouldn't risk buying off ebay.... Just saying.
[Xperia Z2 General] Sango2:
Yes it does include a magnetic dock.

-------------------------

As per the noise cancelling headphones, they are a bit overrated from speaking with a Sony rep at the store since it's not that good. He pointed out, by spending a little more money, you can get better Sony headphones which they carry.
[Xperia Z2 General] quailallstar:
Funny some say it comes or doesn't come with the magnetic dock. The seller I think often doesn't know what is/is not included in these phones.

The ebay listing says the following is included:

Sony Xperia Z2

Headphones (not Noise Canceling model)

MicroUSB Cable

Main Charger

Documentation

I could care less about the dock and would much rather have the noise canceling earphones. Phone shipped out today and will be here Friday; I'll let y'all know what I end up getting in the box and what build date/run it is as some have asked for this.
[Xperia Z2 General] uchechris:
How long is that deal suppose to end?? Really interested in it since it got some cheap....
[Xperia Z2 General] madgalaxy:
Does the D6503 Model have AT&T LTE?

If so, I pick one up! I have bought from never-msrp - good service!
[Xperia Z2 General] 05GT:
For those that have purchased from never-msrp, did you receive a defective product?
[Xperia Z2 General] surge27:
For those that bought from this eBay seller...trustworthy???
[Xperia Z2 General] quailallstar:
Not sure but they have sold 506 units and have limited stock left. I would get it if you want one.
[Xperia Z2 General] cchant:
Yes
[Xperia Z2 General] quailallstar:
And T-Mobile LTE as well
[Xperia Z2 General] charlie460:
Bought the Z2 from them, got it extremely fast and the phone is great.
[Xperia Z2 General] tel033:
Same seller is on amazon too, what's the big deal about getting it from ebay? is there any differences in return policy or sth?
[Xperia Z2 General] badelemental:
Damn they don't ship to India. Here the price is $810 (48K INR). Why everything here is so pricey ... sigh :(
[Xperia Z2 General] quailallstar:
Some people are just paranoid. This seller is trusted and has been around for some time now.
[Xperia Z2 General] madgalaxy:
I have bought from them before and never had any issues. Just bought a Z2 from them last night, can't wait!
[Xperia Z2 General] Sango2:
No issues for me. I got the black one.
[Xperia Z2 General] irishrally:
Please state your screen gaps in nano-meters.
[Xperia Z2 General] Sango2:
I'm referring about purchasing the Z2 from the seller.
[Xperia Z2 General] MOPKOBKA:
Can you elaborate on the source of the information? Yes, I know that Sony is lacking in good quality control, so I have no surprise. But still would like to know how common the problem is. Unfortunately I am locked from purchase from ebay due not getting refund from a seller who sold me S5 clone claiming as is is genuine. So yes, ebay is a risk and slow on refund of scam sales.
[Xperia Z2 General] Sango2:
As long as one as eBay purchasers are aware and do their research the seller in question before purchasing, this can mitigate the chances of encountering a counterfeit item from a purchase.

The refunds can be quite fast. I know because my sister had done refunds in the past for hand bags or jewelry that she had purchased where the picture did not match perfectly the item received.
[Xperia Z2 General] cheetah2k:
All the defects are posted here in this forum. Seems to be hit and miss. My concern is if you buy from an ebay seller from another country and then end up not happy with it (eg, has big gaps between glass and frame, had dead pixels, has an offset camera - just to name a few) then how do you return it, and what is your wait period for the return.. Could take up to 45 days to sort it out thru a paypal dispute... IMO, buy local.

Out of interest, I'm on my 3rd Z2. First had 3 white bright clusters on screen (defect in the LCD backing), 2nd the LCD screen failed and would not start, and the 3rd has all the gaps and uncentred camera, so I'm glad I bought local as I'm returning my 3rd one today.... :(
[Xperia Z2 General] Sango2:
As for my phone that I got is a W19, which has a bit of the gap of the bottom edge on both side but it seems pretty uniform. A bit off center camera.
[Xperia Z2 General] quailallstar:
The workers at the Sony factory must be drunk. It's like when you buy an ordered car... Don't buy a Monday or Friday built car :silly: This is the joke with my Audi/VW friends we always talk about when we have car issues. ha!
[Xperia Z2 General] jsho31:
Are your bootloaders unlockable?
[Xperia Z2 General] quailallstar:
I want to say yes since these are the international phones being sold. + they are not carrier branded. I can confirm this evening when my Z2 arrives :)

Note that when and if the Z2 ever comes to the US it will probably have a locked bootloader (NA version). I had picked up a Z1 (LTE model) and the bootloader was locked because it was a North American market model.
[Xperia Z2 General] jsho31:
I've had every Xperia phone in the Z line so I'm familiar. There was one unbranded version that had a locked BL but I forgot where it was from. I'm ordering a Z2 also tonight
[Xperia Z2 General] quailallstar:
It was the C6906 that is sold here in the US (like the Z1s from TMO) with a locked BL.

[Xperia Z2 General] insane08:
I JUST got the M8 a few weeks ago and had been eyeing the Z1 or Z2 but due to the price I couldn’t get it. Well I just took the jump and ordered one right at the last second. I guess I’ll have to go and sell my M8 soon to make up for the damages. I hope this phone is worth ittttt

I have to say I’m shocked at the price considering it was just released.

Are there anythings I should look for in terms of quality defects so I know whether to ask for a refund or not?

Greatly appreciated.
[Xperia Z2 General] jsho31:
I think it was the Bell one , the tmobile one wasn't out way back then when I had it. But doesn't matter, question got answered

I looked up the address and its a town home in TX LOL. Check out the street view. I had a feeling Never MSRP is just a middle man (woman) for other parties who supply the product.

[Xperia Z2 General] jsho31:
Thanks, ordering mine tonight and hoping it'll be here Saturday since I'm only 5hrs away
[Xperia Z2 General] quailallstar:
Although the deal is over you can still get the phone from them for less than what Newegg.com or other sellers are asking.
[Xperia Z2 General] madgalaxy:
I have ordered a couple times from "never-msrp" and have had no issues. They do have a 14 day return policy for defects.

There is an inherent risk in buying a device not sold in the US. I can understand those not wanting to take the gamble so it is best to wait for it to be released at the Sony Store - but it will probably be $700 plus taxes. There is also a risk for these folks selling international devices - the margins are slim - trust me they do not make much. Oh and I know there are untrustworthy sellers out there. I research all mom & pop sellers I buy from.

My black Z2 will be here Monday!
[Xperia Z2 General] aeroman1:
please post unboxing pictures after you get home. I bought one from ebay taiwan seller, the phone does not look like new since both of the screen protectors are missing :crying: and the phone is not put into a plastic pouch. i may return it.
[Xperia Z2 General] quailallstar:
Sure will. What seller did you buy from? Link to their selling page on Ebay? I would return it.
[Xperia Z2 General] xuzeliu:
Phone arrived

I bought the phone(purple) from this seller Tuesday, 10th, and arrived today. It's HK version with US power adapter included in the box. The phone comes with Dock and regular headset(not noise canceling.)

The package for the phone is never opened and seals are intact.

Build date 14W19

So far the phone works great.
[Xperia Z2 General] aeroman1:
good for you. my box is also "sealed", but obviously sealed by seller. my phone also has chip in the paint. too bad I bought from oversea seller. hassel to return.
[Xperia Z2 General] quailallstar:
Opened up the phone at last. It's beautiful and well built. No gaps visible and the camera is dead center. I only found one little issue and it's a blemish that looks to be from the process of milling the aluminum. It's almost non-visible but I spotted it because I was looking for possible defects; thanks XDA for making me paranoid :P You can see the small blemish in the picture where the red box is close to the headphone jack.

Phone is 14W18 and most importantly bootloader unlockable :) I'm happy with the phone and not even going to bother returning it because of the blemish. I would hate to swap out for another unit with no blemish and then end up with one that has gaps and a &^%!$ up camera. I will live :good:

Now to unlock the bootloader and root this sucker. Since you don't loose anything with unlocking the bootloader the sky is the limit.
[Xperia Z2 General] aeroman1:
thanks. will return my phone . :crying: love xperia z2 though.
[Xperia Z2 General] Sango2:
Do you have the uncensored pic version? :D jk!

I'm happy with my purchase from never-msrp. Mine almost looks like yours in the pictures, except my camera is slightly off. Not sure if I should even exchange this or not. Probably not worth the trouble to do it since I didn't notice issues taking pictures with it.

Maybe in the future and just wait, I'll get another or, wait until Z3 comes out!

How come you didn't get the Spigen glass!! I did for mine!
[Xperia Z2 General] tel033:
What batch is it?

Anyone of you having trouble with overheating (I don't care if it gets hot during 4k, I won't use it, but I do want to take all the pictures I want)

Thanks
[Xperia Z2 General] Sango2:
I have 14W19.

I have not tested 4K video so far but have not experienced any overheating issues. Mainly using it for Whatsapp, Wechat, emails. Pictures from time to time and music playing.
[Xperia Z2 General] MOPKOBKA:
I would recommend to wait 2-3 weeks until the deal will pop up again. It was already two times, and considering that the seller gets regular shipment from Honk Kong she needs empty shelves periodically.
[Xperia Z2 General] quailallstar:
Actually I did order the Spigen glass from Amazon. I'll install it once I start using the phone. I'm using my backup LG for now. I want to root the Sony first then take all the plastic off and use it. I'm anal with my phones. <- doesn't sound good ha!
[Xperia Z2 General] aeroman1:
191

the ebay seller is 23port. they refuse to take it back and insist it is new, lol. after comparing with many youtube unboxing, my is 100% used. I also just found there are few chips on the paint. i have to open case with ebay to return to seller. avoid this seller! ship back to taiwan is also painful.
[Xperia Z2 General] lethalboy:
So the seller never msrp is legit and phone was sealed... Think Im going to order one tonight :D. White color :)
[Xperia Z2 General] jsho31:
Yeah they're legit. I've bought 4 or 5 phones from them and they're always all sealed and brand new.
[Xperia Z2 General] twolfekc:

[Xperia Z2 General] tel033:
Where did you bought it? :D
[Xperia Z2 General] twolfekc:
Ebay.. Watch never-msrp for the deal.. Very fast shipping might I say
[Xperia Z2 General] SovietKitsch:
Hey guys, first post here.

After having an iOS device from 2009 until today, I finally pulled the trigger on this deal. I got mine for $599 from never-msrp.

When I opened the box I was extremely excited because it came with the noise canceling earphones and the charging dock. I didn't really see too many stories of the earphones coming with these phones so that was an awesome surprise.

The phone is a 14w20 with an unlockable bootloader.
[Xperia Z2 General] lethalboy:
Ordered mine today.. from never-msrp.. let see what happens :D
[Xperia Z2 General] :
Can you tell me which ebay seller has the noise cancellation headphones with the xperia z2?

Thanks
[Xperia Z2 General] Sango2:
Can you show the picture of the headphones? I'm curious which auction of never-msrp has them because there is multiple auctions of the seller selling the same thing.

The stickers on my box are a bit different than yours. Could you tell us which version if your phone? If you look at the contents and customer service information, it will give a clue where it's from. It's definitely from a Asian region, but not Hong Kong because the box sticks are different than mine which I confirmed mine is from HK.
[Xperia Z2 General] twolfekc:
They do not ship with noise canceling headphones.. I can confirm
[Xperia Z2 General] Sango2:
Opps nm deleted!! Thought it was the original poster I quoted!
[Xperia Z2 General] Meemo23:
I won a Sony Xperia Z2 Unlocked to all network, It is brand new unopened and is black. Also says it comes with noise cancelling ear phones. So i am very excited. I won the Z2 for £390. I am just hoping it is a good deal and i don't get mugged lol.

Will post pics when it arrives.
[Xperia Z2 General] SovietKitsch:
Ebay item 221447349158 is the link from where I bought. I really think I'm just insanely lucky with the headphones. From what I can see, I believe the phone is from Taiwan since in the instructional booklets it links to sonymobile.com/tw for English guides. It came stock with the Chinese keyboard and a a Japanese keyboard as well as some foreign language apps.

I attached the picture of everything that came in the box literature wise and a picture of the headphones. I'd say buy the phone not expecting them at all, and if you get lucky then be happy with it.
[Xperia Z2 General] Sango2:
Nice!! :) At least you can enjoy some quality music. The Chinese and Japanese keyboard seems to be standard on all versions of the phone as I changed my HK version to UK then Canada and they are present.

Mine has the standard one but don't think I"ll be using headphones for my phone since I have the Sony SBH80 Bluetooth headset.

I may purchase a set of Sony headphones for pure music listing but it would be the Sony XBA-H1.
[Xperia Z2 General] lovemyram4x4:
They do ship with them for some markets.

This seller gets them from different markets so you may or may not get them as well as other extras(OTG cable, screen protectors, etc).

Like I already said mine came with NC headphones and magnetic charging dock(w/ US charger).

[Xperia Z2 General] ZPaul2Fresh8:
Well the G2 is almost a year old and the Z2 is about 2 months old. The water proof feature is enough to warrant the trade. Not to mention the better soc.
