Yeah and have you noticed the insane battery life? Only that makes it totally worth the money :victory::victory:

And btw has anyone done a factory reset? Because i did it and for some reason i lost the fancy lockscreen and got the stock one :confused::confused:
[Android General] xxxrichievxxx:
Tbh the battery is the same as if I was on my LG G2 it's not really that much of a difference. At least with my LG G2 I was at 100% battery life for at least an hour. When I'm at 100% on the SH-04F and I open a text I'm at 99% in a minute.

As for the lockscreen, I too did a factory reset and I got the default lockscreen. I had to change to the Feel UX in batch change lockscreen under Home Applications

Is anyone else getting an echo of your own voice while on a phone call? It's really annoying!!
[Android General] pgetsos:
Still no root? Towelroot also not working i guess :rolleyes:
[Android General] toguchisan:
anyone knows if towelroot works on this device?
[Android General] y2kbugleung:
No it does not.

For every Sharp phone, there is a system level lock called "Miyabi Lock".

Without removing this lock there is no way to write into the /system folder.

(If there is no such a lock, I believe the towelroot should work!)

Hope someone can root this phone soon!

This is the best Sharp phone I have used so far.

Hmm for some reason an antivirus says that the phone has a security vulnerability for towel root? Has anyone actually tried towel root?
[Android General] PhaseOfFact:
Been a while since I've posted in this forum, but I'm planning to buy a new smartphone in a month or so.

*I will likely be using this phone in Japan with Docomo.

I'm currently debating between the AQUOS ZETA and Xperia Z2, leaning towards the ZETA.

Here are my reasons for leaning towards the ZETA:

Better battery, bigger screen, a bit lighter

Antenna for TV isn't separate

Orange and white versions are matte so less of a fingerprint magnet (would like impressions on this if possible)

Camera functions (such as the framing adviser and photo sphere) are neat

Doesn't get as heated (?)

Has infrared connectivity

Grip Magic and One-Hand assist seem neat

Personally like the EDGEST design over the Z2

Reasons why I'm still debating:

ZETA (well, Sharp for that matter) still uses the "glass safety film"

Z2 has 3GB RAM while ZETA only has 2GB, dunno if it will impact me too much though

I heard that one of the reasons why the ZETA has longer battery life is because it clocks down its processor and graphics

Z2 is root-able while the ZETA isn't (I may want to root/flash in the future)

Is there anything I'm missing? I know posts will likely be biased since this is in the ZETA thread, but I'd just like some input from experienced owners. Thanks for any input~
[Android General] xxxrichievxxx:
Hello there! :D

This thread seems to be dead most of the time. To be honest, I love this phone. It's a great phone even with even with only 2 GB of ram. I've had the phone tune itself down because the phone detected some abnormal temperatures (although the phone did not feel warm at all)

As for root, there is currently NO root for this phone. I have contacted a fellow xda user that has an LG G2 Japanese variant of the phone I used to have to see if he has heard anything on that side of the ocean about root.

I have tried Towelroot, it says I should have root access but when I check with a root checker I don't seem to have root

But I heard that rooting a Japanese phone is a bit more complicated because there is another lock on top of whatever lock the phone has to disable root access. I think this 2nd lock is called "Miyabi"
[Android General] PhaseOfFact:
Hello~

Yea, don't really blame it since the SH-04F isn't something you'll find in the AT&T store or any retail store haha

I did read about the phone dimming the screen when it reaches a certain temperature, but I'm not too worried about that since it applies to most smartphones. I was just surprised when I read reviews that the phone doesn't reach it's potential because it automatically clocks itself down all the time to save battery (and that you can't control this feature).

I used to root, flash, and customize my phone and all, but dunno if I would go too deep now since there are many useful theme-ing apps that don't require root (I was just looking at Themer, looks pretty neat). If rooting would give access to a major feature though, I may want to root (heard that airplane mode and SD card access are restricted somehow).

Yep, read about the Miyabi LSM lock in this thread. Seems like it's mainly found in SHARP phones, hopefully someone finds a way around it =/
[Android General] toguchisan:
i hope soon to have root acces :(
[Android General] PhaseOfFact:
Hm, I may have to rethink which phone to get. It seems like many docomo stores are out of stock, and even the online shop states that I'd have to wait on order cancellations...

I know there are other sites (such as the ones everyone is using in this thread) but I probably need to buy the phone at a docomo shop =/

If the SH-04F is available in store, I'd definitely go for it (first pick orange, then white, black) but if it's out of stock, I'm looking towards the ARROWS NX F-05F.
[Android General] Vaga Liki:
Hey so are you actually connecting to At&t LTE? I am seriously thinking about buying a Sharp Phone from Japan, but the one major thing that is stopping me is I don't want to lose LTE that I've gotten used to that I've had since my LG Optimus G.

And has anyone tried the unlock mentioned in "Unlock all bands of your Qualcomm device! Use your phone globally! No bs!"?
[Android General] Vaga Liki:
Apparently, this phone can be rooted because the phone has had its radio bands unlocked through a procedure that requires a rooted device.

On Kyoex, it says that you can disable Sharp's Feel UX for a stock android look. Has anyone tried that?

Also, can anyone provide some camera samples in diverse lighting/framing conditions?

Thanks!
[Android General] xxxrichievxxx:
Where did you hear about the phone being able to be unlocked? I swear I'd be the happiest person ever!!!!!! I have to change the dpi on this phone because it's way too big on this phone!!

You can disable the Sharp Feel UX but it still looks not like stock, I had to download nova and I was able to change the dpi!

ill see if I can get you some pictures off of work later I will post back!

Unfortunately I'm not able to connect to AT&T's 4G LTE network I'm currently only on HSPA (H). When I had my LG G2 before buying this phone I was getting 4G LTE everywhere. I've gotten used to 4G LTE but not I'm fine with H I feel like it's faster than LTE that was in my area haha

To be honest if we are able to unlock all bands, I'd be the happiest person ever?

hi all,

does anybody already checked out this site https://sh-dev.sharp.co.jp/android/modules/oss/index.php?/sh04f#bld010103 .. you need to use Google chrome browser to translate coz its japanese site

[Android General] galaxyst:
You can easily buy at ebay. For me this phone is nothing without root. As it has been said: " Without root your smartphone belongs not to you, but Google, Samsung, Lg, Sony ..."

Can you let me know how to root this phone? I've been dying to install gravity box on this Haha I'll give a donation if I'm able to successfully root it!
[Android General] djbuan:
First, you have to update your phone to the latest software, you can do this by downloading an app called upany from the play store. This will update your phone to the .6 version. After that you need to google the latest version of the sharp adb driver, install it. Next put your phone to card reader mode. I will post the next steps once i zipped the root package.

---------- Post added at 09:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:28 AM ----------

I believe the .6 version can be permanently unlocked, im just looking for the updated root package.
[Android General] xxxrichievxxx:

Is 4G LTE working in your phone?

Hi All,

Is 4G LTE working on your phone? I am in Canada and I can only get the H signal.

I am going to Singapore soon and I heard that they offer some way to open more LTE bands based on the website:

LTE（800/1500/1800/2100MHz) - Fully Support 4G LTE NOW!

**Enabled More LTE Bands : Band 1,2,3,4,5,7,8,13,17,19,21

I am willing to try it out as I think that is the only things missing on this phone, I will report if it will actually work.

Thanks!

Guys, any news about root? I have Android 5.0. How do I root it?
[Android General] arksmith:
How do i get into recovery mode? It only vibrating long when i did all possible combination of power and both volume button.

EDIT HERE

it is the same as SH-01F, Power + Volume down, hold down will power on the device with short vibrate, then when it vibrate the second (the long one) press power button a lot until it gets to the recovery (which the only option is reboot and hard reset).

I try to root with Kingroot, it half working last time (there is root permissions but i never use it, still it detect the prompt from titanium backup). But i uninstall it, then try to install again to get the stuck on Android-aquos screen experience (my first time).
[Android General] Remdale:
There's no recovery installed. That's why you cannot get into it. If I get a reply from the tewilove, I hope to get everything needed from him to get root and recovery. He said he successfully installed TWRP and root, but never shared any guide to do that. But it was done with Android 4.4. Not sure about 5.0 though.

Hi ! I'd like to mention the troubleshooting I finally found to fix my case.

As a decent noob, I made the heartbleed update without protecting me against lost root, by simply flashing stock recovery and updating through stock rom (that I kept). For one month, I've been looking all over the Internet for solution, because I couldn't gain superuser access again, even though the app SuperUser was in the drawer. I tried flashing the zip, I tried to install a custom rom, I tried a NAND restore, but nothing worked.

Finally, my phone tells me I'm rooted after flashing nexusrecovery and using WinDroid Universal HTC Toolkit to root (and that installs an app called Super-utilisateur - I'm French-speaking - with a sharp icon). Sounds simple now.

I just wanted to share a solution for those in the same case. Hope it will be useful.

(and sorry for the probably numerous mistakes I made - English are my mothertongue not)
