[MENTION=4519790]Tiu Fiu[/MENTION] i've flashed the Germany ROM only to test DTV.

I'm analyzing every possible detail to make this work.

Can anyone send me the build.prop, default.prop of brazilian version and check if sys/module folder have anything related to "ginga"? (this is a part of app's name)
[Xperia Z2 General] TicoVillas:
Cool, let us know when it arrive if is worth to have the magnet charger, and which are the pros about it.

Now tell me what you guys think about sound quality in the Z2 (headphones), i'm kind of an audiophile and listen to music in my phone all the time, even got a 64gb MicroSD just for my musics and i found the Z2 audio quite disappointing.

It have a good sound quality, very distinct and clear, but i don't think it got what it takes to make the music stand out, it lacks punch and volume, mainly with high impedance headphones, i have a JVC Ha-fx1x Xtreme Xplosive and a WESC Chambers by Rza Premium (with active noise cancelation) and the phone let me down in both cases.

I had a Galaxy S3 before with CM11 and GoogyMax Kernel and the sound was AWESOME, loud, deep, lacked quality, but way better than the Z2 high quality but with lacking impact.

What you guys think of the sound at your Z2 phones?

I've bought a FiiO E6 in China and i'm waiting to get here, when i recieve the headphone amp i let you guys know what is all about.
[Xperia Z2 General] Tiu Fiu:
I'm actually very satisfied with the sound quality of my Z2 - I got myself a Sony MDR-XB90EX imported from Japan, a very high quality earpiece in the US$100,00 range (according to some reviews I read before I bought it, it rivals many US200,00 earphones as well).

Are you sure the sound configurations on the Z2 are not the ones that are messing up your audio experience? I mean those in the Settings -> Sound menu... Have you tried altering those to better suit your earphones??
[Xperia Z2 General] leandronovy:
Where is this files? Dont found anything with ginga in sys/modules.
[Xperia Z2 General] Luhccas-X10:
build.prop are in system folder, default.prop are in root. (when you enter in root explorer, before enter any folder there's it)
[Xperia Z2 General] leandronovy:
Follow the files.

I'll buy this, R$150 http://produto.mercadolivre.com.br/...r-magnetico-dock-dk31-para-sony-xperia-z1-_JM
[Xperia Z2 General] Tiu Fiu:
I've always had my worries about using second-hand chargers of any kind... And, to be honest, R$ 150,00 for a "parallel" charging dock is way too much if you ask me...
[Xperia Z2 General] Edwrib:
I think can use the original charger in that dock, like the wireless plug of Clove UK, they'll be only the plug and the holding plastic.

I think is too much too, but way less than original ~R$230, I'll try to wait for the plug from the Clove, but open and close the door of micro USB will make me crazy lol

Sony could have make the micro USB external and water proof, like the smartband. (but they had to make more profits with dock lol)
[Xperia Z2 General] TicoVillas:
Yeap;

I've already tried everything possible and every combination, i like a real hard punch and LOUD music and the Z2 doesn't give me that level i want.

By any means it's a bad sound, i just think it lacks power on the bass and can't push the volume as loud as i wan't.

The JVC Ha-fx1x is a very good earbud specially for its price and the WESC Chambers by Rza Premium is a over the ear monster that have an amazing sound in high quality outputs, its a studio monitor that beats the Beats by Dre in a lot of reviews and that is were the Z2 falls behind.
[Xperia Z2 General] Luhccas-X10:
I'm trying to make a MOD for brazilian Z2 too but my week are heavy...

Will take a look in DTV friday and in mixer_paths.xml saturday and will post here.

The tip for music lovers and audiophiles like me, i recommend earphones/headphones with high sensitivity dB.

As our output voltage is low for the 3,5mm way, we need to compensate with this.

I have a lot of earphones here. (14)

AKG K420 is a perfect marriage with Z2 and have an excellent price! (99R$ no mercadolivre você encontra)
[Xperia Z2 General] Sayid_the_Lost:
I lost my antenna, anyone knows somewhere i can buy another official one? Or at least the model, i tried the sony website, but couldn't find it.

I don't know as much as i would like about earphones, how many dBs exactly would you consider a high sensitivity?
[Xperia Z2 General] Luhccas-X10:
110dB +

AKG k420 have 125dB, for example.
[Xperia Z2 General] Tiu Fiu:
You mean that DTV antenna adapter that comes with our Z2? That is only to "boost" the signal, DTV works fine without it (I honestly never saw any improvement in DTV quality using that thing, but then again I've only used it for a little while in São Paulo and in Rio).

Anyway, if it is, when I get home from work I'll check for a model or a label or anything an let you know.
[Xperia Z2 General] Sayid_the_Lost:
Yes, the DTV Antenna. outdoor it's not necessary to use it, but indoor i can't get any signal at most places i go, sometimes i can get Globo signal, but other channels are almost impossible.
[Xperia Z2 General] Luhccas-X10:
And nothing for brazilian Z2 3 weeks after the latest update worldwide...
[Xperia Z2 General] assanches:
+1
[Xperia Z2 General] IgorEisberg:
You should update that. Both Oi BR and TIM BR have version 17.1.A.2.55 available for download.
[Xperia Z2 General] paulomario77:
I think the headphone amplifier will solve your problems regarding volume and punch. It will ceratinly drive your headphone much more easily than the Z2 onboard amplifier, whatever the impedance and sensitivity of the phones are. However, I was quite intrigued by your statement:

"(...) its a studio monitor that beats the Beats by Dre in a lot of reviews (...)"

Are you serious? Do you really think a pair of Beats headphones is some sort of benchmark in the audiophile world?

I don't use the Z2 for portable music, but if I did I would probably invest in a good amplifier/DAC combo with Android support. For music my setup is:

iPod Classic 160GB

Shure SE846 earphones

ALO Audio The National headphone amplifier

ALO Audio LOD (Line Out Dock)

All my CDs were ripped using dBpoweramp and encoded in Apple Lossless format.

Cheers,

Paulo Mario
[Xperia Z2 General] TicoVillas:
Not at all dude,

Is just so the common folk can understand the "quality of the headphone", and the necessity of power to drive than;

The WESC is a much, much better headphone in every level and i just wanna know becouse i'm purchasing an Sennheiser HD 558 and need to understand how to drive then since it's a "high" impedance headphone;

For the street i prefer the JVC HA-fx1x since is a very good, very cheap earbud (don't wanna get a 999,00USD earbud stolen!) and the Sennheiser HD 558 is for work/home listening, and thats why an open back;

By any means i think that beats is a good/great earbud/headphone, even more if you think about the price of that sh**!

For the setup you got o monstrous one, and quite expensive, lol.

My notebook have a quite good audio output so for the time being i'll not get a DAC for it and just for the road the FiiO E6 will sufice.
[Xperia Z2 General] Luhccas-X10:
As i said in another topic, the output voltage is low and we need high sensitiviy headphones, 110dB+. (i recommend AKG k420 for over the ear or AKG k340 in ear wise)

You can try external amplifier too but, if you don't want to walk around with an USB DAC that's heavier than two Z2, buy an Fiio E6.

It's relatively cheap (150R$ no mercado livre) and make a BIG difference.
[Xperia Z2 General] TicoVillas:
Already bought an FiiO E6 at DX, i'm just waintg to arrive, paid R$70 with free shipping.

Let's see when it get here with the Sennheiser HD 558

Thanks bros!

What is the amps of charger you guys received with Z2?

Mine come with 850mha.

My ZL/ZQ, that have a lesser battery come with 1500mha charger, I don't understood why.
[Xperia Z2 General] Tiu Fiu:
I guess 850 mAh is the standatd for the Z2, but I always used the one that came with the ZQ (the one with 1500 mAh)
[Xperia Z2 General] Edwrib:
In ZQ, at work I use the 1.5A and over night the 2A that come with Galaxy Tab lol

I guess that 2A will stress too much the Z2.
[Xperia Z2 General] Luhccas-X10:
Nope.

It will work fine with Z2.

Hi All,

I've got the Z2 in the last month and find out issues.

I always use custom roms on my phones (Galaxy S, Note etc), but in this one I liked the original one.

1- Everyone says that my voice sounds baffle during calls, but it dont happens when I set to speakers, use headset or send voice messages in whatsapp, so there's a way to fix it? I see people saying it's a poor stock rom, needs to update or use a custom rom.

My rom version is: 17.1.A.2.55, but don't have any rom to update OTA.

I also disabled voice clearing option, it's better but not 100%.

2- My smartband only gets my sleep time since 00:00am, like yesterday I sleep at 09:00pm and woke up at 06:00, so it marked only 06 hours of sleep. Any wrong setting too?

Thank you all! :good:

[Xperia Z2 General] TicoVillas:
Hi guys;

You just have to wait for the update if you realy want DTV, if not you can safely flash an updated Stock ROM from another country, our model is fully compatible with the "D6503 - 17.1.2.A.0.314" you will only lose the DTV.

I'm using D6503 - 17.1.2.A.0.314 from Germany for some time now and it's awesome, just use flash tools and Easy Root and you're gold!

Problem with Earpods

Hello Guys!

I Want to change my Galaxy S4 4G into new Xperia Z2, and today I went at FastShop in São Paulo to test and use Z2. I have an Apple Earpods, that came with iPhone 5/5S, and I use in my Galaxy S4, because I don't like Ear-In Pods.

So, I test Z2 in the store with my Apple earpods and doesn't work. I Tried with Galaxy S4 earpods and works fine.

I Searched on Internet about this issue and found people with the same issue, but on Xperia Z1 with Android 4.4.2 (on 4.1.2 worked fine, and stoped after update. Not just Apple Earpods, but Dr. Dre and others). After this, I tried in Z1 and doesn't work either.

Does anyone use Z2 here in Brazil with Apple earpods and they work fine? I don't see any cause for this problem.

I Don't found other people talking about this em Z2, only in Z1. I Like my Apple Earpods, and I don't want to change my earpods.

Anyone knows if the last system update fix this issue? I Really want to change for Z2, but without this earpod issue.

Please, anyone can help me?

Thanks for all attention, and sorry if have any English mistake.
[Xperia Z2 General] higgs_:
I will answer in Portuguese. Eu testei meu celular com os phones que vieram com meu iPod, um fone Klipsch e um da Samsung que veio com o meu antigo S4. Todos funcionaram. Entretanto o microfone e controle de volume do fone Samsung nao funcionaram. Mas saiu som em todos os fones que testei.

Estou usando o modelo D6503 ultimo firmware (.314)

Hi!!

This is strange, with my S4, Apple earpods works with sound and play/stop button (volume doesn't work). I don't kown if was a problem with Z2/Z1 for demo in FastShop. or something else. It's like a system bug, or like that. At Store I tested with Xperia M2 and works fine.

I'm with fear to buy now and have to stay with this issue. :(

Portuguese:

Olá!

Isso está estranho, com meu S4 os fones da Apple funcionam normalmente com o audio e o botao de Play/Stop (os de volume nunca funcionaram). Eu não sei se era problemas com o Z2/Z1 para demonstração na FastShop, ou alguma outra coisa. Parece que é algum tipo de pau de software. Na loja eu testei no Xperia M2 e funcionou normalmente.

Estou com medo de comprar o aparelho e ter que ficar com esse problema.

[Xperia Z2 General] TicoVillas:
Earpods? Really?

If your only fear is because of the earpods, buy the phone!

You will not regret you decision and even if you earpods don't work, which is quite impossible since the connection is exact the same for every Android P2, you still get the awesome phone (way ahead of SIV) and you can use a real earpiece (doesn't have to be in-ear) after all earpods suck big time.

By the way, the ones that came with the Z2 are better than earpods and aren't in ear.
[Xperia Z2 General] Luhccas-X10:

I Really like my Apple earpods, and music/audio stuff determines if I will buy, or not, a cellphone. I Listen to music practically whole day, therefore I always test music in my new phones, with a earpods that I like. I know that is some kind of coolness. kkkk

I Saw that Brazillian earpods aren't ear-in pods, and I decide to buy Z2 after that, and now i'm waiting for my phone arrive.

I Will see more about this earpods, it's like Apple earpods. Does anyone know any store here in São Paulo that have this phone for test before buy?
[Xperia Z2 General] Luhccas-X10:
There's a lot of options out there.

If you don't like in ear phones, you should try Sennheiser's MX 365 or MX 470.

There's some AKGs too but here, in Brazil, we have only a few...
[Xperia Z2 General] Tiu Fiu:
There are A LOT of good options out there and in the end it all comes to two very basic things: what kind of earphones you want or prefer and how much you are willing to spend.

I've always been much more of in-ear type of guy and, even though I'm not even close to an audiophile, I do notice the differences and annoyances of different earphones. Never been much of a fan of "over-the-head" phones, even though I own one Pulse Elite for my PS3.

That being said, I used to be a "a simple in-ear is OK" kind of user (for a long time I imported some cheap "close to genuine" or "replicas" of Sony in-ears, back when in-ears in Brazil were still unknown) until I decided to do my homework and researched some good in-ears and went all-in on a Japanese-imported MDR-XB90EX (already discontinued, 16 mm driver, more than R$300,00 with shipping and handling, which is far more than I ever allowed myself to pay for such a thing). Abso-freaking-lutely NO REGRET. Best pair I ever owned. Quite big and sometimes heavy for an in-ear, but worth every single penny. Even bought a second pair (for spare - earphones tend to break fairly easily with me) when a friend of mine went to USA, (US$ 103,00 on Amazon).

Long story short, the two basic questions you need to ask yourself is:

1- What kind of earphones you want to buy?

2- Far more important, how much are you willing to spend?

And don't worry about using the microphone and the central button on iPhone-specific headphones. The Z2 uses the same standard as the Z1, ZQ/ZL and so on. This means that, even though the Z2/Z2 Tablet are the only devices capable of using the noise-canceling MDR-NC31EM, you can also use iPhone-specific earphones with microphone and the central buttons (volume buttons will not work). I know this because prior to the MDR-XB90EX, I was using the XBA-1iP, which is iPhone-specific, and both the mic and the central buttons worked like a charm - I tested them on the Z2 yesterday when I first read your posts (I've been away for a little while).

And just a heads-up, the MDR-NC31EM itself is also a very good in-ear phone, even with noise-canceling turned off, and is officially available on Sony Stores (I know this because I noticed them the last time I went to the Sony Store on Shopping Bourbon, in São Paulo, to check the Xperia Z2 Tablet) - the sad part is that they are (officially) available for a heart-breaking R$ 250,00 (again, it all depends on how much are you willing to spend).
[Xperia Z2 General] Fernanda8175:
I looking in Amazon US for STH30, price is better than here in Brazil. There cost over R$85, and here, in Mercado Livre, about R$130. I Will wait my Z2 and tests the earpods that came with him, but STH30 is an option if I don't like the original Z2 BR earpods.

Thanks for your help.

I agree. Here in Brazil prices over this earpods are very expensive. I Paid R$130 in my Apple Earpods, it's very expensive, but I like him a lot. I Bought another one in Ebay last mouth and i'm still awaiting for delivery.

I Went at Sony Store in Bourbon once for exchange my Beyond Two Souls without PT-BR languages, and the store is very cool. There we can test earpods before buy?

Did you test Apple earpods in your Z2 with, or without, antenna attachment?

I Will wait for delivery of my Z2, maybe I like the original earpods, or my Apple earpods might work.

My Apple Earpods is this model:

I honestly can't remember if you can test the earpods at Sony Store, I've never tried them myself on the store. And I never had Apple products (which includes the Earpods you posted), so I can't honestly say if they work or not. Sorry :eek:

Digital TV App

Hi Guys,

I successfully got the DTV app working with the lastest D6503 ROM (.314).

I spent a lot of time copying each dependency lib from Brazilian ftf to the international one.

I still can not get any TV signal because logcat shows me:

E/DTV-GINGA( 3380): tuner_init: power on failed (0x101)

W/DTV-GINGA( 3380): [tuner] init: failed

It could be caused by a lack of kernel module (or not). I was unable to boot the phone with the kernel included on Brazilian FW.

I already flashed all basebands files.

PS: My device is D6543. The D6503 does not have DTV receiver.
[Xperia Z2 General] assanches:
I'm praying that you can accomplish this feat. :good::highfive:
[Xperia Z2 General] Luhccas-X10:
It will work only with brazilian FW kernel.

I tried the same thing but without success.
[Xperia Z2 General] rpinheiro:
Maybe. Do We have access to DTV kernel module sources ? First of all We have to identify which isdb-t receiver Sony uses on D6543 thus we can compile a new kernel based on Sony sources released. I think we will need to unlock the bootloader.
[Xperia Z2 General] Luhccas-X10:
I remember when RHBH on Z1 forum showed some differences between brazilian's kernel Z1 and international one. (FW)

Probably it's the same thing on Z2. (99,9%)

Even if we found this, we'll need a custom kernel to make it work with different firmwares.

I don't care anymore about DTV but, would be nice have it working.
[Xperia Z2 General] rpinheiro:
Yep. DTV was a buying point for me to choose D6543 instead of D6503. It would be nice to have it working on our phone.

I am ready to help anyone who want to compile a custom kernel with DTV driver. I have some knownledge in Linux, but I have never compiled a android kernel yet, just for x86 and mips (openwrt).

I'm constantly messing about with my phone, anyway after uninstalling both of these mods and back to installing them again, I seem to have lost a setting... somehow...!

These are the only two mods I had so I know the setting I'm looking for is somewhere in these but it seems to have gone!?

It was a setting that made the profile icon (vibrate/mute icon) in the status bar invisible... not just changed it's colour, actually invisible. When having to reboot my phone the icon did come back up but as long as I just did a quick change over of vibrate back to mute or vise versa then it became invisible again.

Pretty pretty please can anyone help tell me where this setting is??? No, I'm not imagining it and yes it does or did exist between one of these two mods.

Happy to try any other stable mod if anyone knows of one that will do the same :-\
