I am extremely happy with my Z2, i have little heating issues unlike anyone else and i have 0 problems else

Battery is good

Display is awesome

0 lags

Enough power to do everything i need (and i do very heavy things)

However my first Z2 which happened to be faulty had tonnes of issues, heating, buggy camera , screen flashes black, blah blah blah
[Xperia Z2 General] CodeNameRedNeck:
Coming from a Note 3, really happy with this phone. Looks good, runs nice, battery is fine, I like the display a lot more. So nice to look at. I have a glass screen protector instead of the plastic film I had on the Note 3 but definitely really nice to look at. Took my first underwater video today just because I can. The screen is smaller than what I was using but as of today I would not give this phone up.

I really like this thread and will join the club very soon. That's the spirit mates.

This device deserves the best comments.☝

Got my Z2, 2 days ago and I am pleased with it, coming from iPhone 5S... :laugh::good:
[Xperia Z2 General] djayyy:
Moved from iPhone 5s to the z2 and I am very impressed. I bought it from a forum second hand does anyone know the warranty situation with that? Too scared to try underwater video in case it develops a fault and it's not covered? Currently sat by a pool in Cyprus and want to try it!

Xperia Z2
[Xperia Z2 General] Jiyeon90:
Since you had both, can you tell how much better is the battery life on the Z2 compared to the Z1?
[Xperia Z2 General] funky0308:
It's not...well...It's not something important...

Some users tell me (before I bought Z2) that they have 10h of screen time and 3 days battery time but in real time that's not realistic to expect...

Battery is better but indoors, IPS screen on Z2 isn't bright like LCD on Z1 and you have to set brightness to max on sunny day...that will drain battery quite fast...

To conclude - Z2 has better and a bit "stronger" battery but it has bigger screen....

So I have 20-30h battery life and 5-7 h screen time on Z2

And 20-25h battery life and 4-6 h screen time on Z1

Of course, sometimes I get two days of battery life but it's over weekend when I'm not using device a lot, when it's on wifi all the time and I don't have many calls...

I'm talking for something that's realistic to expect in everydays life, not in laboratory ;)
[Xperia Z2 General] sfex3best:
What!!! Does that say 14hours?!!!

What was your final result you still have 26% left there? And how is tht even possible?
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
Doomkernel+good settings= realy good battery ;D
[Xperia Z2 General] ArbiterGR:
Best phone i've ever owned! Don't let some bad comments spoil the awesomeness of the device. As with every electronic device, there's always a small percentage of faulty components and/or manufcaturing errors. That's why there's a guarantee on them!

I've had a Galaxy S3 before getting the z2 and i must tell you that it's day and night! No lag -not even the slightest-, awesome battery life, one of the best camera sensors out there and well Sony's UI is the best OEM skin anyone could throw into an android phone.

Hi Dear [MENTION=4948854]Erik1805[/MENTION]

Thanks because of your good tread for this amaaaazing phone, but i have question:

What is the : (14w21) ?

Im planning to buy a Xperia Z2, how can i check this option ?

Thanks
[Xperia Z2 General] Erik1805:
This is the manufacturer week. 20 and up is good. You can check it by pulling out a little plastic card where the SD is. On that it tells which week it is built.
[Xperia Z2 General] arash64a:
Thaanks, can you show this place with a photo PLEASE ?

Thaaanks again

Hello everyone! Had S3 before and made a switch a month ago and could not be happier. Had one Z2 before (14W14) which had loads of problems but had it replaced under warranty with no hassle for 14W21. Since then had no problems and I absolutely love it! Epic camera, super fast and very light Sony customization. S3 feels like stone tablet in comparison to Z2. Can't wait to see Sony rule the smartphone market, in upcoming months (if they play it right).
[Xperia Z2 General] fredriks:
I'm really pleased with mine too, had a Z1c before and I'm loving the bigger screen on Z2. Really like the design of the phone as well, great quality feeling. The only thing I'm not so happy about is the speaker quality in calls, that was much better on my Z1c. Beside that I'm so happy with my Z2

Read the whole thread and not one mentions about the call quality from both ends and call volume. How are they?
[Xperia Z2 General] bdithug:
I'm buying the z2 brand new from a Sony store on Tuesday. I went in last week and tested a z2 there with my Sim card. Call quality (ear piece and speaker phone) was great. Better than my Galaxy s3, and my OnePlus One. So if there was an issue, Sony has corrected it
[Xperia Z2 General] nbone:
Very Very happy! Coming from galaxy s3
[Xperia Z2 General] CodeNameRedNeck:
Mine is 14w19 on 438 and my call quality is fine unless I trap the phone between my ear and shoulder. Call quality is fine in speaker phone as well.
[Xperia Z2 General] E!ch0:
14w17 here!

Phone working flawlessly without any problems or bugs, except this 4k overheating tough its never shutdown from itself, all in all very satisfied from this device and sure will buy it again no second thoughts.

Is there any way to tell what week of production the Z2 is from looking at a sealed box or the only way is looking at the sim card tray?
[Xperia Z2 General] Erik1805:
Could not find it on the box, just the little tray.

[Xperia Z2 General] JJ2525:
That's unfortunate. So buying one new is essentially a crapshoot. Thanks for the quick reply!
[Xperia Z2 General] Erik1805:
Well, I bought it in a T-Mobile shop so could check it before taking it. But if you buy it online you can't.
[Xperia Z2 General] JJ2525:
You can buy it at TMO? I did not think any US carrier was selling it yet. I searched Sony phones on their site and all they have is a refurbished Xperia Z.
[Xperia Z2 General] Erik1805:
Yes, here in the Netherlands it's no problem :)
[Xperia Z2 General] bdithug:
Does the United States not have Sony stores?

I'm buying a network unlocked z2 from a Sony store on Tuesday (in Ontario Canada). The first thing I'm going to do is open the box in store and check the batch number, test the ear piece, speaker phone, etc. I doubt I will have any issues as they already let me test a z2 with my Sim card last week, but that was an open box model.
[Xperia Z2 General] tel033:
Anyone coming from Z? Z camera at night is ****, is it better with the z2?i think the flash in the Z is to weak, is it the same flash??
[Xperia Z2 General] hpl912:
Coming from Z1, overall i'm happy with the purchase.

Very satisfied with the performance, great battery life with heavy usage, awesome screen (MUCH better color than Z1).

My nitpick would be the build quality, IMO it does not feel as good as the Z1 (larger gaps, more plastic...)

Looking forward for the Z3 :good:
[Xperia Z2 General] Aborto:
14W18 here. Coming from a SGS3 and I am loving this phone so far, really no weaknesses that I care about.

The camera is good, excellent build quality, stable and crazy fast.

The battery life is awesome, I have usually used less than 20% by the time I get home from work.

I have the tablet Z as well and Sony's UI is one of the few that I dont hate, no need to stuff around with unstable AOSP roms to get it usuable like the ****ty samsung rom on the S3.

The cover over the USB port is a pain but a magnetic charger solved that.

The LTE on this thing is awesome, 57mbps down 42mbps up. Its about 5 times faster than my crappy ADSL at home.

Call quality is usable but not great, thats my only real complaint so far.

By far the best phone I have owned.
[Xperia Z2 General] jpacho89:
Don't tell lies...

I don't think that any phone could last 14 hours of screen on and have still 20% of battery.

Battery must be fantastic, but don't cheat :banghead::banghead::banghead:
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
Lol no cheats

I was literally doing barely anything, but even then 7-11 hrs is about the range of screen on with a underclocked/volted CPU
[Xperia Z2 General] sofia-captivate:
Coming from owning s5 for a week, sold it got this beast. Really fast, amazing camera and very good battery life. Glad I switched even I hear bad stuff about this phone. I have week 20 and so far so good.
[Xperia Z2 General] jpacho89:
So don't post an screenshot with 14 hours of screen-on-time and 29% battery left, and when you are quoted say that this is possible with doomkernel+UV because it is a LIE. You did recharge the phone because even not touching anything, with lowest frequency and everything turned off, it is IMPOSSIBLE.

You may confuse people and deceive, creating wrong expectatives.
[Xperia Z2 General] Mafiatounes:
Very happy with the Z2, i gave Sony a second chance after a bad experience with Z1 (bad reception, and cam quality) but the Z2 is like another phone wich ticks all my needs, i have had a lot of high end phones and comparing the M8 with the Z2 the latter just has better overall performance in the camera departement and battery life while the M8 only has a tad better speakers. I won't change my Z2 for any of the high end phones out there now thats how good it is!
[Xperia Z2 General] sfex3best:
Trust me it's possible I got 12 hours screen time the other day and I hadn't used low battery mode and i didn't even try to preserve my battery much.

That was on stock too.
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
Its not too hard to get long life with Z2 seeing as the cpu voltage is quite low

Its not impossible, i get 7 hrs of screen on time with Z2 and im a extremely heavy user, i always have ubuntu in the background and im usualy on YouTube

When i use the phone "like a normal person" i get about 1d 15hrs of life and about 15hrs of screen on time total

It seems underclocking never effects life (cortex A15 cpus are like that) only undervolting and custom kernel settings do such a thing

My point being that Z2 is capable and dont call imposible on much in XDA-Dev because has been plenty called and many proven wrong

Neither much was lying either, i had been asked how and i gave a straight answer
[Xperia Z2 General] jpacho89:
Ubuntu in the background?? Wtf??

15hrs of screen on time?

I won't believe it until you upload screenshots proving it. And if you don't do it you will confirm my suspicions..
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
i attached some screens, need any other just ask before i get too busy ;D

(if your wondering about the 1 screen that has 30 smthing mins on battery, i think thats a bug, its exact same every time i go n check battery stats (if someone knows a fix tell me)

note- for people interested, i dont think haiving any Linux OS in the background effects battery, ive kept ubuntu running for about a week now and no need for a reboot of ubuntu or my phone , it doesnt seem to affect battery at all which makes sense since only 2 ubuntu processes are active and all 263 other are sleeping, these two processes go sleep when the rest of the device goes to deep sleep so in theory it uses 0% battery, infact it helps with battery due to aditional ram KSM but this is dependant on how you setup your O.S
[Xperia Z2 General] Erik1805:
Please on topic guys. This is for people to post that they are happy about the Z2.

Battery stats can be posted here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2682373
[Xperia Z2 General] jpacho89:
U

This doesn't correspond to a "normal person use". Probably your phone has been at lower frequency during screen on, without doing anything, and the rest of the time has been with everything disconected, probably in airplane mode. This obviously doesn't correspond to a normal use. I have been looking in XZ2 battery forum, and with "normal use" nobody reaches even the half screen on time you get. YOU ARE A LIAR. I am wondering even if you have used photoshop...

Sorry for the offtopic but I can not be quiet when somebody is lying.
[Xperia Z2 General] barondebxl:
Dude I understand that you don't believe the screen on time provided, neither do I cause it's definitely not normal use but no need to call people liars, that's very rude.
[Xperia Z2 General] jpacho89:
It impressed me to last so much long, that's why I asked him about that stats. I didn't mean to be rude but if you read his commits...

It makes me sad if you try to confuse people or create false expectatives.

Anyway XZ2 must be a fantastic phone with a great battery life. But it can not make miracles...
[Xperia Z2 General] barondebxl:
I know, and many ppl do that in other threads. Just no need to call ppl liars. 14 hours of screen on time is obviously ridiculous, some ppl do whatever they can to reach that kind of time just to post it which is kinda dumb but hey, they can do it.
[Xperia Z2 General] jpacho89:
Yeahh I know. People can post that they have reached 15h of screen on time with normal use, and I can post advising that they are liars.

Sorry for the offtopic, this is my last post I think my point of view is clear.
[Xperia Z2 General] blackalice:
I started playing Ingress and the Z2 is proving it's self as being a battery power house. Can't believe how much abuse it can take!
[Xperia Z2 General] Erik1805:
Yeah battery is really good and has lots of power. And much more great features :)
[Xperia Z2 General] levior:
Coming to Z2 because i broke the dislpay on my Z for a 2nd time. Got it on contract for the price of Z-s lcd panel. Im impressed with battery life and build and like the stereo speakers too.
[Xperia Z2 General] 613BulletProof:
Just got this phone from ebay. Pulled out the sim card tray but there is no plastic piece with the build number or anything. What should i do?
[Xperia Z2 General] sfex3best:
It's on the sd card side not the sim side.
[Xperia Z2 General] 613BulletProof:
woops ok got it

14W24

week 24 i presume, from what i hear that's a good thing

camera is center, there is a ever so slight gap on 2 corners of the screen, like the glass wasn't aligned properly or something, but not a HUGE deal, definitely not a deal breaker, hard to really tell. I only noticed because I checked for it since others had issues.

Have not tried 4k recording yet or taking several pics but will report back

So far this phone seems good, love the feel of it, and it looks sexy! haha.
[Xperia Z2 General] Sunemol:
I Was told from the Danish Sony support that FW updates maybe not work for fixing 4k problem and they maybe add in the sales list "due too 4K videos high temp record time may be different"

And I have waited 2 times for repair both took +3 weeks :(
[Xperia Z2 General] Erik1805:
Well, had noise during calls. Just went to the T Mobile shop and got a new one. Charging now so wait and see if this one is okay.

z2

Hey I just received my z2 from ebay . 14w20 no problems that I could tell I noticed a small gap betwenn corner of screen was a little worried, I decided to do a full submerge of my phone. Left in the water for a few mins took it out all worked but the speakers are have reduced a good amount. No other problems with this phone. Don't know if I want to risk getting a replacement and getting a worse model. I think I will just stick it out. This phone trul y is amazing was going to root then realized how much I loved it without. now llet's see if we get android l. Would u replace yours for the reasons I stated?
[Xperia Z2 General] bdithug:
Pretty sure that's normal after submerging it in water. I haven't tried it yet tho but I know others say you have to let it dry a little before it goes back to normal.
[Xperia Z2 General] issacm206:
Its been a day and its the same hasn't been back to normal. Oh well
[Xperia Z2 General] bdithug:
Call sony and ask their advice. If they say it should be normal by now, replace it
[Xperia Z2 General] tel033:
From which seller?
[Xperia Z2 General] issacm206:
Never-esrb I think
[Xperia Z2 General] bryanhayn:
I'm with you. I love my Z2 and won't be getting rid of it any time soon. I recently used my wife's upgrade to get the G3 and was thinking of keeping it and selling my Z2, but after using it for a while I realized how flawed it is. I really hoped I would like it because my G2 was so awesome, but it was just way too laggy, and the screen's color/contrast was all ****ed up. So I ended up unlocking it and selling it for a $350 profit :) The only thing the G3 had over the Z2 was a better screen/bezel ratio and cool screen unlock animations. Other than that the Z2 whupped the G3 in every category IMO.
[Xperia Z2 General] styxter:
Loved my z2 from xperia s to z to z2. Almost all the bad issues coming from previous phones were really address except the software camera.

This is my first Android phone that last a whole day when I used from 700 am to 800 pm with 19 to 30 percent left on my battery. With call, text, browsing and gaming.
[Xperia Z2 General] issacm206:
Ya, I was also looking into the lg g3 but everyday I have this phone I like it more and more. Its extremely fast with no lag yet. Very happy with this purchase. The speaker got a little worse after I submerged it for a few mins but still loud compared to others. I here people on these forums complain about camera, screen and more ****. None have been defective. My 4k recorded for 5 mins then shut off. Not a big deal tho, considering u have to have a 4k device to actually watch it..
[Xperia Z2 General] tel033:
How do you feel about low light camera performance? My S led flash is crap and it makes yellowish pics horrible
[Xperia Z2 General] styxter:
Honestly, I'm just a average joe in photography and this is just my opinion. If I am using superior mode setting without flash its weird because the color should be grey but the photo finished are little reddish. But when setting it superior auto and flash on, im happy with the results from color to actual detailing.

Coming from s to z and z2 if you asked me which is better I would say z2 > s > z in z, I have to install camera fx just to accept my standard quality in photo but in z2 well its quite acceptable. As I recall during my xperia s user days all I used iin setting are manual mode and stock application only cause I didnt know camera fx application.

Happily on Cyanogenmod

Got mine about 2 weeks ago and have enjoyed the tremendous development activity around CyanogenMod 11 supporting the sirius branch (Sony Xperia Z2). Came from a Samsung Galaxy S3 running CyanogenMod (Samsung's TouchWiz was extremely slow and never received any updates) and am super happy to report that the Camera was fixed by today's nightly!

ie: Running Android 4.4.4 with all the extras from CyanogenMod 11 and the only thing left is the NFC support but otherwise super fast and excellent battery life (utilizes about 35% battery per day with LTE/WiFi and Bluetooth permanently connected).

The best phone I've ever had!!
[Xperia Z2 General] CarlBlomqvist:
I agree this is a great phone. The overheating issue has shown it self once, and I hope that wont be a problem in the future. It was most likely due to extensive camera fiddling though... I have been able to record 4K for 17 minutes with no warning (stopped it after that).

It's extremely fast! The sound was a bit low by default, but the SoundMod works wonders.

I noticed there are very small creases between the plastic around the frame and the aluminum parts. It's quite easy to see a small layer of build up forms within. Does anyone have an idea to clean this properly, safely etc...?

Thanks :good:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
I've also noticed this, and I can't really say that I've found a solution to it. I usually just clean it with a wet cloth (I won't expose it to running water since I tend to have some bad luck with these kind of stuff :p ) and then use a needle to pick the most annoying tiny stuff that'll get stuck in the "cracks".
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fastest83:
You know what works really good and nobody thinks about it? A simple sheet of paper. ;)

But hey, I wash it like twice a day and that's the best way to clean it.

I even used a brush (like the one you use to clean your nails) to clean the "cracks".
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Twice a day, and your Ultra still lives? Talk about good karma [emoji5] I don't have that kind of luck, so I keep mine away from running water. I'll try and use a brush next time!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fastest83:
Oh come on, I haven't bought an IP57/58 certified device to never put it underwater...

I brought it to the pool for like 45 minutes of pics and videos of my kids and it behaved like the champion that it is... ;)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
I can guarantee that my Ultra WILL get damaged if I submerge it in water. It will happen.
