If you want good camera and outstanding battery life, then the choice is only one among those two - Z2.

You will not be able to check the batch until you open the phone and no one will allow you to do that before you buy and even so, I don't think anyone will exchange just because you want a different batch.

Whatever batch you got, if it works OK just keep it and don't care about this batch talk.

Mine has a bit off centered camera in the shell, front and back one, but it does not affect photos so I do not care. :)
[Xperia Z2 General] zubairamd:
If you care about the camera then Xperia Z2 is what you should be after as it has a far superior camera and battery life is the best when compared to current flagships.
[Xperia Z2 General] paullu:
I suggest go for m8
[Xperia Z2 General] blackalice:
The Z2 isn't perfect - but if you're looking for a good camera and a long battery life this phone is AMAZING.
[Xperia Z2 General] iArvee:
Speakers on the M8 are fantastic! A friend of mine has one and I'm loving the speakers on it. though I prefer the design and durability of the Z2. I've dropped my phone a few times and haven't had any problems with the waterproofing or something like that due to the drops.
[Xperia Z2 General] sfex3best:
Well I'd choose the z2 all day. But its your choice.

You mentioned the battery life if that's the case the z2 has an unbelievable battery life I managed to squeeze out 12 hours of On Screen Time the other day which is incredible.

The other point you mentioned the camera. Well according to many htc m8 reviews ive seen the camera is the m8s biggest dissapoitment.

The z2 camera is very impressive though probably not the best cameraphone out there but still impressive.

I think the z2 would suit you and nope i have never had any issues with my z2 i think a lot of them are exaggerated.
[Xperia Z2 General] feis:
I have both and you wont be dissapointed in either. Camera and battery is way better on z2, not to mention waterproof. M8 is nicer to hold and easier to operate with 1 hand, also sound output is wonderfull. Both devices are great, but for me z2 is just better overall package.
[Xperia Z2 General] omersak:
I had the m8 and currently have the Z2. They're both great devices but, for what you want, the Z2 is quite a bit better.
[Xperia Z2 General] arash64a:
[MENTION=3058792]omersak[/MENTION] I see from your signator, you use of Galaxy S5 + Xperia Z2 + One M8 .

Which one of these phones have better daily use?

My poins is:

Best battery life

Goooooood performance and smooth UI

Goooooood camera quality
[Xperia Z2 General] tuanph.aus:
Huawei Ascend Mate 2 <---- perfectly match your requirements.

I am using Z2 and thinking of buying HAM2 as a backup/tablet-phone.

Cheers,
[Xperia Z2 General] whiteblazer01:
Doesn't the M8 have problems with SD card read/write access, even when rooted? To me, full SD card access is a must (Damn you Kit Kat, you c*ck blocker!)
[Xperia Z2 General] omersak:
Best battery life: Z2 > M8 > GS5

Performance: M8 > Z2 > GS5

Camera: Z2 = GS5 (GS5 is better in daylight and Z2 better in indoors and low light) > M8

I first got a GS5 and I quite loved it for its camera, features and erognomics but it was horrible at maintaining a stable LTE signal at my office and that would drain the battery pronto. Other annoyances about it was the comparatively laggy and slow UI, especially coming from a nexus 5, and it's low-light blurry camera shots (these issues may or may not have been fixed via firmware upgrade). Had it for around 10 days.

I then got an M8 and really loved it for it's build quality, speakers and fast UI - faster than the nexus 5 even. It held the LTE signal well and had good battery life, lasting me a full day. Unfortunately it's camera was beyond awful and beyond my patience and was thus unacceptable for me. Also, like the M7 before it, the M8's UI was too sterile and boring for my tastes. Had it for around two weeks and got bored.

For me, the Z2 has been the best overall package of the three with that huge battery, potentially great camera and good performance. I've had it for 2 months now it has the best of both the GS5 and M8, along with the best battery of the bunch. The camera is capable of producing phenomenal results in any lighting conditions, the battery can easily last me two days and beyond, the UI is quick and pleasant to use, the screen is bigger and nicer than the other two (IMO) and I love the build quality and water-resistant features. The speakers also fall in between the M8 and GS5, and are good.

It's not as easy in the hand as the other two though, but if you can get to hold it for yourself and find it acceptable, this really is the best all-round phone in the market IMO.
[Xperia Z2 General] TheOnlyIntruder:
I think this depends on the shop your go to and/or country you're in. Everytime I've been to buy a new phone I've always been able to inspect and have a close look at what I'm buying, the trick is don't be afraid to ask and if they refuse then you tell them you wont be buying. With distance selling, you should have at least 7 days no refusal exchange/refund so long as the device hasn't been used with a sim card but again depends which country or shop you buy in/from.
[Xperia Z2 General] KyleSforza:
I own both the devices, I prefer Z2 as my daily driver due to the camera. :)

Z2 wins in camera and battery life department.

M8 is smoother. But I like being able to go from sleep to snap within seconds. :p

I prefer Z2 solely for its looks(I have the white version) and the available customizations.
[Xperia Z2 General] sofia-captivate:
Thank you guys for helping me. Guess what? I got the z2 last night and I am really happy with it way better than my s5 glad I sold it. Now some case and screen protector shopping to do ?
[Xperia Z2 General] KyleSforza:
Congratz! Welcome to the greatest flagship club. :p
[Xperia Z2 General] Kmac_thp:
I thought about going back to my M8, turned it on and while that screen is supposed to be one of the better ones out it does not look as good as the Z2 does. I love how the Z2 screen looks. I think the sound quality issues might not be as bad as I thought so Im keeping it. Pictures Ive taken with the Z2 blow the doors off the M8. Only thing I dont care for the glossy back panel on the Z2, if I wanted a glossy iPhone I would have bought one of those.
[Xperia Z2 General] hidea:
The m8 screen, Sense UI is slightly better than the Z2. But UI is subjective, although I think the screen puts the m8 as a clear winner. Camera puts the Z2 leaps and bounds ahead of the m8, and dedicated camera button is extremely useful.

However, the m8 feels a more fluid and faster than the Z2, and always have been. Both phones I have are on the latest firmware.

The m8 feels better to hold due to the tapered edges.

However I much prefer the omnibalance design on the Z2.

I can't choose, so I ended up with both.

Go tempered glass!! Nillkin tempered glass is great. Also, I really like Ringke Fusion, though it's lacking a cutout for magnetic charging port, so I still have to fiddle with flaps every time I need to charge my Z2.
[Xperia Z2 General] sofia-captivate:
Do you have the ebay link for the tempered glass? how do i know its real? and ringke do you mean the screen protector or the clear case? Thankls
[Xperia Z2 General] KyleSforza:
Agreed, the M8 fails at color reproduction. What's red on Z2 is washed out orange on the M8 and what's green on the Z2 is a yucky color on the M8. The colors on M8 are really dull.
[Xperia Z2 General] Jiyeon90:
That's exactly how it felt when I compared both side by side
[Xperia Z2 General] KyleSforza:
Its actually simple, if you get a M8 first, you might be happy with it.

If you get a Z2 first, and buy M8 too just for the hype (like I did), you're going to find out that the difference is of night and day. :p

In short, a M8 user can move to Z2 and still live and love it, but a Z2 user simply can't downgrade to a M8 and live peacefully.
[Xperia Z2 General] brockyneo:
I've too come from the M8 and I have no regrets everything (apart from the speakers) for me is better on the z2

I am a massive galaxy note fan but think the z2 has swayed me to stay with Sony

Let's see :victory:
[Xperia Z2 General] ajai_dev:
I am in the boat to change my Z2 to something else before the Z3 comes and I cant get a good price for the Z2. I also have an HTC One M8 but that is my office phone where as Z2 is my home phone sadly the vibrator is just super weak and I cant feel it at work not only that the screen is a problem I have to keep it at max brightness everywhere since reading it under the sun is a problem. The M8 is better to read in the sun but its not great my N95 was 1000 times better under the sun.
[Xperia Z2 General] toncij:
Z3 is coming very late this year, I presume. August will be used to announce it, it won't come to be available on the market at least by December... Same happened with Z2 - most stores it took May to have them.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] domokorean:
Don't know if any body has noticed, but kit kat seems to have been sneakily released for us australia note 3 holders of the n9007 model.

I don't know if its available officially yet, as I can't check because I rooted the 4.3 firmware, however I am currently downloading the 4.4.2 firmware from sammobile.

Now this leads to my actual question,

Seeing as we now have the 4.4.2 firmware and modem, would we be able to flash n9005 roms onto our n9007 note 3's and simply swap the modem?

I read somewhere that someone had success flashing, with everything working except the modem.

If any other n9007 would like to hit up the new firmware and share feedback that'd be great :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tpham01:
I've done this on many N9005 custom roms without any issues (NO MODEM ISSUE to speak of). All you need to do is update to 4.4.2 for the N9007 so that you have the kitkat bootloader and modem then you can flash any of the N9005 custom roms as you please. I've flashed these roms in the past without any issue (ASSASSINROM V4, CRASH ROM V13, N9005XXUGNG1_DevBase_alexndr.zip AND CRASH ROM V15 CURRENT)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n5750547:
So you can use 9005 ROMs even if you have a 9007 as long as it's 4.4.2?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tpham01:
In short yes. The baseband of your 9007 must match the 9005 custom rom you want to use ie. to use 9005 custom rom on 4.4.2 you need to upgrade your 9007 to 4.4.2 first.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] domokorean:
Sorry but would you be able to provide us with a short tutorial on how to do so?

As far as I can tell, there is no way to root N9007 4.4.2 at the moment.

I realise some roms can be flashed with odin, but I'm still kind of wary as to whether or not it will be compatible.

You mentioned having the same basebands, but on my N9007 the baseband version shows as "

N9007

DIUCND1"

Is the DIUCND1 part the part I need to look out for while searching for N9005 custom roms?

Thanks for the help :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tpham01:
OK...from the information you've provided...you're on 4.4.2 for the N9007 if not update your firmware to this version. To root simply use TOWELROOT (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2793071) then install recovery app...either CWM or TWRP - I've been using TWRP 2.7.2.0 without a single issue. Then chose and install an N9005 custom rom via TWRP or CWM. I've installed and used the following roms without any issue (Echoe ROM v15, Alexndr - N9005XXUGNG1, ASSASSIN_V4, CRASH_ROM_V13 and CRASH_ROM_V15)...the only thing you cannot do is install bootloader and modem belonging to N9005.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] domokorean:
Fantastic. I have yet to install a custom rom, but I am ecstatic just knowing that my phone is finally rooted again.

Hated that I couldn't downgrade from kitkat back to jb, but only because I wasn't aware of any way to root my device until now, many thanks!

I shall post again once I try out a few roms and see how they go. :)

Thanks again, you've been most helpful!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] domokorean:
Sorry, would you be able to link me to the correct TWRP for the N9007? or the one that is compatible with it?

Hi there,

I'm just wondering if anyone could provide me how to root my galaxy note 3 n9007 Kit Kat? I tried CF-Auto-Root but after i flashed with odin it just stuck in bootloop.

I also would like to try custom firmware, is it possible to install onto this phone?

I got one more question do i need to unlock bootloader?

How can I check my bootloader status?

Thanks for your answers.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hajuu:
I too have this issue and as explained clearly you cannot use the N9005's BL or CL on a N9007 device - it causes a bootloop or stuck on logo.

I cannot find the BL or CL for Australia (optus) anywhere, not even an older version.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Flash latest stock firmware for BL etc.

While I was at work, my buddy stopped over and started flashing over to 4.4. Something failed. I am running safestrap 3.72. How do I get this thing back to hyperdrive 14.0, or android 4.3.

edit: And I cant just wipe, and try to reflash because Im getting an E:/unable to mount error while trying it. This thing is shot.

Phone is currently creating a rom slot 1, because apparently my stock rom slot doesn't have an OS.

Thanks for the help in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
You can't create ROM slots in the (unsupported on Verizon) Safestrap 3.72, You can only flash over the stock slot.

If your stock slot is hosed, boot into downloader mode and use Odin to flash factory stock. Then you can root it and install HD.

Going back to 4.3 at this point is possible, but not recommended. Read one of the multiple 4.3->4.4 upgrade threads for details.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] narc0tix:
Im having to go through a proxy to access this site at work. Are you able to maybe shoot me a link off hand? Searching on the forum is bad enough, but even worse while going through a proxy.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
odin is the way to go but download the files to a pc and check md5 checksums and make sure there is good communication between PC and the phone. ODIN is very sensitive to USB ports and the USB cable and this is a cause for many ODIN failures

do as much reading as possible and there are other youtube videos
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] narc0tix:
Can you please help me out here? Ive read and read. Do I need to flash mk2? MJ7? Everything I try to download from androidfilehost doesnt work, and Im still stuck with a bricked device.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
you are downloading to a PC right? never download big files to the phone
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
Your phone is running 4.4, so you need to flash NC5. Don't download to your phone, download it to your computer, like decaturbob said.

If you really can't download from Android File Host, get someone with a reliable network connection to download it for you.

Link to the NC5 Odin files: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2735172

As far as your question about the YouTube directions, that's the problem with You Tube videos - they're history, old, and unreliable. Nobody updates them. It's easy to find videos telling people how to flash CM on their S4 which NEVER say "oh, and this will brick your phone if you're not on the MDK build". Don't watch videos and follow them unless you understand the risks.

That's why we've created sticky threads here to try to keep people from going down the wrong path.

Good old uk always second to last.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gloris:
If it makes you feel any better I've tried loads of stock and custom firmware on my UK btu handset and have always come back to fnb8 UK stock as it's the most stable to date. So the fact that other counties have "more up to date" firmware versions is really not important because they bring no extra features and just add problems. E.g. nge5 and ngf1 (the latest firmwares) have random reboots meaning that I can't even walk down the street listening to music because halfway through a song it will cut out and reboot.

If it ain't broke don't fix it. I'd say stick with fnb8 until they release a firmware with new features (maybe when Android L is released).
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knightz01:
Hi guy's, does the 16mbt patch fix anything??? Otherwise I agree that fnb8 is pretty good for me, any feedback? :) Thanks
