Do you mind telling me where you got it at that price? Everywhere seems to be around £245.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] musicmadmac:
I bought my original Z Ultra for £549 at the beginning of last year and I loved the phone back then paired with the Smartwatch 2. I sold it back then but have just bought another brand new black one for £250, I use this as a tablet rather than a phone, I don't have the Smartwatch 2 this time.

I must admit that having been through a few phones since I sold it I'm a little disappointed with the KitKat firmware on my new Z Ultra, the display feels a little dim at 100% brightness but overall I think it's amazing value for money and great for watching Sky Go. I just love the sheer size of the phone but it does require a huge pocket to carry it around in. :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
There are atleast 2 different LCD panels that have been used. One has better contrast.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shadowcore:
I just got the phone from amazon and I got it cheap from warehouse deals. First impressions, amaizing....

It was the cheapest most powerful device I found. I bought it for 250€ Not bad, considering what it offers

Its size isnt bothering me, I fear for the possibility of it breaking,
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Gorjira:
I've truly been debating about buying this, Z Ultra GPE, since it came out. Now that it can be purchased on the cheap it's making it harder not to. My main concern is; Android L? Will Google and Sony make the update available for the Z Ultra? I have a Nexus 5 (nothing wrong with it) but I've always wanted a phablet.Then again the next Nexus could be either 5.2-.9 inches so that could ease my phablet want... IDK, what do yous peoples thinks?

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bushako:
I'd say the Z Ultra, excellent build quality and a better processor not to mention these days they go for real cheap.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] AccuNeal:
In the US the One Max is a CDMA phone which means Verizon and Sprint. The Z ultra is a GSM phone which is AT&T and T-Mobile. It makes a difference if you are in the US or planning to use the phone while visiting the US because the voice networks are not cross-compatible. Personally, I recommend the Z Ultra, that's why we have two, his and hers. :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] tracins:
2 different models

Haven't found information that the screen has 2 different models!

Please can you show me?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] speculatrix:
Yes

I am considering buying a second because there's no sign of an Xperia Z Ultra 2, and I would be very very sad if mine broke.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] tsiros:
no. build quality is horrible, software quality is horrible, support is horrible. Get a popular phone. They get more updates, better firmware and programs. the z ultra is three generations behind.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] E90 Commie:
Strange.

I have no problems with either software or hardware on my Z Ultra. In fact, it is rock solid with the GPe ROM onboard but worked well with stock ROM as well.

As the landscape is today, the Ultra is still in a class of its own and the only alternative I can see is the Z3 Tablet Compact LTE. It has an acceptable size still, especially compared to an Ultra with CP12 Power Cover like mine. Otherwise, the competitors are either equipped with smaller screens (dealbreaker to me) or other issues such as bloat and unstandardized hardware et al.

All of this make the Z Ultra the best option among "phablets" that can replace a tablet and I can again only see the Z3 Tablet Compact LTE as a possible alternative since it is like a larger Ultra with more RAM.

I would recommend the Z Ultra and flash the GPe ROM or a Z3 Tablet Compact.

Theoretical alternatives as I see it would be a 7 inch "phablet" from a manufacturer like Oppo or OnePlus with CM as standard but such a product isn't in the market and there's no rumors about something along those lines either.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] tsiros:
the stock rom has issues with sound playback. the usb cover seal after a couple months use will come off and warranty does not cover it (if you nag about it, they will change it, probably). I am not in the mood to list all the problems i have. Oh, "backlight optimization" that can't be turned off. screen throw that only works in two sony programs only with sony hardware.just those two more
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] matout7:
thx

I am not planning to visit the US or use it in the US...

I live half the way around the globe :D

the problem is Than i Am worried that it won't get android L update because it is discontinued by sony
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
we (at the moment) have a unified release with the Z1 - so ask your self: will a 1 year old popular flagship device not get L?

and if we don't I bet it will be ported to the Z1 within a week and then it should be easy to port that to the ZU (will probably need ununlocked BL?)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
The GPe "should" fall in the update timetable, and as we have seen that takes a day or two to be ported over.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] nedooo:
Yes, yesterday I tried Nexus 5 and it is behind Xperia Z Ultra...cant be more popular and with better dev support but still it is behind XZU.

Ultra is so damn good out of the box like none other that I tried (alot other phones).

And still there is no real alternative to stock ROM for XZU...

Did someone hit you with XZU and now you are mad at it and spilling your frustrations here...your post is out of proportions big time...

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] tsiros:
also, suppose it does get L... for how long do you expect it to be supported and get bug fixes? they still haven't fixed the flaws in 4.4
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Sadman Khan:
I don't see why you complain when we were THE first ones to get 4.4.4 right after the GPe release. And we will get bugfixes. Patience bro. And we will get Android L as well. In fact even Z,ZL and ZR may get L.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] tsiros:
i think what we should be looking for are good updates. updates that fix problems. not what company releases the earliest update.

did you forget the sound issues introduced in 4.4 which are still not fixed in 4.4.4? half the time when a new notification sounds, the sound is choppy. haven't seen this problem in the dozens of phones i've had since 2002

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] TeChNoC4AzY:
So I was planning on giving my droid incredible to a friend of mine, everything was just fine. I haven't touched the phone in about a week and a half. I have cm 11 4.4.2 I think it's a nightly. S-off. I went in my recovery which was phillz cwm, factory reset/data wipe. Then I went to wipe the phone storage and the 8gb SD card. When I wiped both It asked me what format, I chose default. I powered off phone from recovery and then It wouldn't come back on... Nor will it charge, and 5 mins before it was working great. What can I do? I hope and pray I didn't brick it..

And if nothing can be done I might repair it, like a jtag, but I have the oneplus one. So idk.. I just hate to see a phone like the Droid just go to waste. All help will be thanked.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] TeChNoC4AzY:

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] junkmail9:
That's not good... I'm probably suggesting what you've already tried, but... Did you do a battery pull followed by holding vol_down and power together (then release power while still holding vol_down) to get the phone into bootloader? If you can get there, you can push a new recovery and ROM.

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] junkmail9:
Yes. Still working great. Tethered to it at this very moment. About 3 weeks ago, it was getting laggy and gapps were constantly crashing so I nuked it to scratch including wiping out all internal memory and then rebuilt it with ViperLTE ROM. It is performing "like new" and much faster than it had been for a while.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] TeChNoC4AzY:
I wish I could understand what happened to mine... It was so odd, wiped it clean, data and all, SD card, restarted, dead...
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] TeChNoC4AzY:
What's up bud!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] junkmail9:
Same 'ol. When I reinstalled the ViperLTE, I left off HTC Music since I don't use it. Apparently, the Beats enhancement is part of that package so if I really want Beats, I'll need to reinstall the ROM again. There is a perceptible difference with my Bluetooth headphones. Ah well, not a big deal. I used to change ROMs on a regular basis for a while with the OG Dinc. That phone had lots of choices compared to this phone.

There really are not too many phones that have me excited enough to replace the one I have now. Nothing as small that fits nicely in my pocket, nothing with data faster than 4G data. After reinstalling the ROM, its almost like new speed-wise, and the battery is still holding up about as well as it did a couple years ago, so I really have no complaints or desire to change - especially since doing so will put my unlimited data at risk...

How's the oneplus one?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] frostedunit:
Best way is back everything up, Odin the NAE .tar file, let the phone take the NG2 OTA, then reroot and restore.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] sinnedone:
Would I need to unroot first or can I simply run the latest update?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] frostedunit:
You would have to unroot in order to accept an OTA update. And if you have removed any bloatware, it will still probably fail unfortunately.

ok thank you. now to find the files and see if the drivers are still installed.

You can go to sammobile.com to get the NAE firmware.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] defcon888:
It is impssible to use a T-Mobile phone on a Verizon network. T-Mobile and AT&T run on the GSM type of network and Verizon and I believe Sprint run on CDMA which aren't capatible. It doesn't matter if you are rooted or not.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Lucas155:
I've seen several instances of Verizon customers using their Note 3 on Tmobile. Just thought it might go the other way.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Product F(RED):
Verizon LTE devices come SIM unlocked for legal reasons (Verizon made a deal with the FCC not to SIM lock their devices in exchange for being able to use LTE Band 13 700 MHz).

Some of their older/"first-gen" LTE devices don't support GSM at all (e.g. Galaxy Nexus). But all nowadays do. The Galaxy S4 and newer support T-Mobile's LTE band. LTE is a GSM-based technology, and people travel as well. So pretty much all of their phones are GSM-enabled nowadays. Same for Sprint (except their phones will reject any US carrier SIMs specifically).

Anyways, the answer is no. AT&T and T-Mobile devices don't have CDMA enabled. And even if they did, Verizon and Sprint don't allow competitors' phones onto their networks.
[Sony Cross-Device General] WhiteNeo:
So, I hope this is the right section to post this, but I think the topic is actually useful for all Sony users.

For a long time I've been looking for a way to get the stock Z2 battery icon in the status bar of my OmniRom SystemUI.

Looking all around the forum, I found only one guide that tries to revert the hard-coded kitkat battery icon to the easily theme-able implementation with drawables in Android 4.3. However, this guide has been created for Samsung KK roms and would certainly need some changes to actually work. Anyway, here's a link, for those of you that are interested in such a mod as well. :)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2628560

As there is no ported Z2 SystemUI that works on OmniRom using ART runtime (or at least none I know of, please correct me if I'm wrong) I thought about merging the smali code that handles the battery icon in Z2 SystemUI with Omni's and adding all missing resources.

As my smali knowledge is fairly limited, I'd be glad if one of the skilled devs over here could try to mod the OmniRom SystemUI that way or point me into the right direction and assist me if I should run into issues when trying it myself.

Perhaps, if we are successful, we could even fill the gap of missing guides for imaged battery icons in this forum and let the whole community profit of our successful mod.

... That said, someone gotta make it work first, of course. :D

So, thanks for reading this post at all and also thanks in advance for any ideas and advice concerning this mod. :)

The sqlite libraries in the stock ROM (libsqlite.so and libsqlite_jni.so) appear to be version 3.7.13 (2012-06-11). The only copy of the sqlite3 client binary I have is version 3.7.11 (2012-03-20), which I got from CM11.

I can use this older client if I also use CM11's libraries, but I have to temporarily change LD_LIBRARY_PATH in order to point to some place where I've stuffed them (replacing the stock libraries with these older ones is a BAD idea ... trust me).
