[Xperia Z2 General] sfex3best:
It kinda is lack of marketing although the z2 was sponsored by the world cup so it should be widely known.

But your right everywhere I go for some reason I'd be the only one with a sony z2. Soo many people will have never heard of this thing it's strange.

However I really don't mind this because this means we have a unique phone. We know its a damn good phone and we keep it that way. it's others that will be missing out on something special.

Hopefully your screen doesn't crack on its own like 100 of others.
[Xperia Z2 General] gregou:
I have my Z2 for one month and half now, and i used to change like every month my phone... I can't tell you that i'm fully satisfied with this phone ! It has everything i request from a smartphone.

The only one thing i'm missing is a bigger screen.. Coming from Note 3 (5.7"), Sony Xperia Z Ultra (6.4"), Huawei Mediapad X1 (7")... It's quite hard for me sometimes to enjoy at the screen easily...

So i was really disappointed when Sony shown his Z3 series instead of a new Z Ultra with the same quality from the Z2 :(

Let's hope devs will succeed to port some news stuff from Z3 to our Z2 ! ;)
[Xperia Z2 General] DrearierJester1:
Im also womdering of the whereabouts of Z2 even Sony old flagships. Even on reviews they barely mention or compare sony.
[Xperia Z2 General] styxter:
As for me it is great phone with vastly improved in software and hardware but not yet perfect. It can be considered as smartphone of the year.
[Xperia Z2 General] knoxploration:
That, and the sheeple principle in action.
[Xperia Z2 General] Firov:
The Z2 is the closest thing to a "perfect" phone I've come across so far. However, the simple fact of the matter is, it's just too big. That is its one major flaw.

Fortunately, the Z3 Compact looks like the perfect phone (for me, at least). Looking forward to selling my Z2 and picking up the Z3 Compact, as it will combine all the great features of the Z2 with the smaller size I'm looking for.

I do wish the Z3 Compact had 3 gigs of RAM like the Z2/Z3, but I guess I can live without that extra RAM.
[Xperia Z2 General] Geeks Empire:
i

Sony problem is less advertising than for example Samsung. (I respect htc but i don't like it cause they try to be iphone of android world! in my opinion)

+ huge ignorance of users...!

i m talking about what people thought about Xperia Z display quality and after that Z1

there were lots of rumor (for me non of them true!) that people always asking about them here in xda and other forums

for example

(with my old account on xda) i made a thread about Sudden Death of Xperia Z. After few weeks Sony solved that problem with firmware update. But after ~2yrs people check that forum and post something !!!

I mean they read rumors and believe but never try to read more technical.

for Galaxy S4 i remember that show with music, dancing and ..... from Samsung !!! (i did hate that!)

But Sony made a conference introduced Xperia Z and its features + technical info >> The End!

so eyes of normal users won't turn to Sony from Samsung

:good:

[Xperia Z2 General] Ozonep:
Yeah, it's a good phone, but a sold it month ago and bought OnePlus One. I don't like lack of development for Z2 :( And being flas-a-holic, I always need new ROMs to try ) And here nothing new in weeks.... Development for OnePlus One is waaaaay better, just like on Nexus devices.

But camera on Z2 is superb. With this camera I was able to get such a good photos that many people commented like "Wow! It was shot on a professional camera or edited heavily in Photoshop?"
[Xperia Z2 General] Jiyeon90:
How's the battery life on the Oneplus one?
[Xperia Z2 General] Ozonep:
Well... I would say 1,5 days. I wake up at 6 AM, and when I go to sleep (around 11 PM), battery is at 40-50%. That's around 2,5 hours screen on time...

It's surely worse than Xperia Z2 in terms of battery, but for me this is 100% enough. And what's even better - Cyanogen team always developing new ways to improve battery life on OPO by optimizing settings.
[Xperia Z2 General] ruffruff:
i used to switch phones every 2-3 mths .. from iphone to nokia, to android, blah blah blah, you get the idea.

But this android phone is the only phone which i don really have anything to complain about. (other than the magnetic port that came out after 2 weeks of use. but its rock solid now after coming out of sony service centre)

yeah, i flash alot when i was on HTC or samsung. but i just did a root on z2 and i am 100% satisfied! i don't see a need to flash custom when everything is working so fine. love the build, the camera and esp the battery life on this baby! :)
[Xperia Z2 General] BRNRD:
same here! after rooting the Z2 I don't see the need to flash custom roms when everything's running so smoothly, only mods I've flashed through recovery are the olokos Z2 soundmod and Viper4Android, those two alone made this phone into a musical beast :D and occasionally I change the system's font using the iFont app
[Xperia Z2 General] gregou:
+1 !

I'm thinking exactly the same as you ! I only wish they could do a Xperia Z Ultra 2 with all the specs from the Z2/Z3... That would be so great ! The only one thing i miss is a bigger screen... 5,7" or 6" would be great !
[Xperia Z2 General] styxter:
Same here, but qhd is better and a big battery capacity let say 4500 mah and a Wacom stylus if they want to compete note 4 series.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FightingChance:
Google store Nexus 4 on T-Mobile pre-pay plan. Stock Android 4.4.4.

My statuses for mobile data were either 'H', or nothing at all (just bars). For the first time ever I am seeing a '3G' mobile data icon in the bar but I don't think the phone has been updated or changed in any other way - I'm not really concerned as much as puzzled as to what is different now.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
H is hspa(or HSPA+), i dont remember if the n4 has an H+ for hspa+. anyways, that is 3G, but a faster version, like 3.5G. H+ is faster than H, and consists of data download speeds near LTE speeds, but slower upload than LTE. so if you are seeing a 3G now, then youre on a slower network.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FightingChance:
I know what the speeds/radios are and what they mean; I wasn't clear enough in my question then.

For the life of this phone on T-Mobile, they've elected to show either 'H' or nothing at all to denote the lower tier GSM connectivity; I'm wondering why, now, they (or some firmware update to the towers, or ?) have elected to start putting '3G' on the status. I've just never had it before. Can others on T-Mo speak to this?

Hi community:

I wanted to know if there's some way to edit frequency values on the stock kernel and hopefully to add new governors. I tried some custom kernels but right now I want to stick to the stock kernel because I read that it has a proprietary driver that manages CPU (MPdecision I think it is).

I would be willing to compile, test and stuff on my device but if someone knows an easier trick (build prop or stuff) I'll gladly appreciate it.

Also if there's a stock-based customized kernel out there with such capabilities (I searched but all are AOSP based) I would try it.

Hi!! I tried everything, flashed stock firmware which worked for me every time. But now the phone just hangs after a minute of boot. I can see status bar and nav buttons but its black screen in main screen. I am unable to turn on developer tools because of this so can't even root phone or anything. Please help.

I used 'root external 2 internal sd' application from playstore earlier which caused the phone to not boot at all. So I flashed stock firmware. And now this problem :(

The application showed 16 GB internal and 16 GB external when I tried it.
[Sony Xperia L] thedemon786:
I just tried to quickly go and check storage. It says 0 in internal storage and nothing as external. Can it be because of this?? Any fix? :/
[Sony Xperia L] abhi007.john:
May be your partitions are not read properly or they have become corrupt

. Do you flash the full ftf along with the wipe data option turned on ?

If not then do try this.
[Sony Xperia L] thedemon786:
yes i flashed full ftf with both wipes checked.

today i removed my sd card and mobile worked fine after that. i used sd card via card reader and its fine, not corrupt. put it back in mobile and again the same problem of mobile hanging and going black. it shows 0 gb internal when i put sd card.

is there any fix to this or fixing partitions coding inside mobile?
[Sony Xperia L] abhi007.john:
Format your sd card using your phone. Search Google play for a good app to format and format your external sd card as fat32.

Best of luck.

Hit thanks if it helped.
[Sony Xperia L] thedemon786:
Ahhh well my externa sd card is fat32 already :/

if the problem is still therr then do the following

Put your external card in card reader and connect to your windows pc.

download hdd low level format and format the card. Make sure you DO NOT use the quick format option.

you have a backup to restore? you try restoring to a backup it worked on and get a lock then try whatever rom? what did you do prior to it not working?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] chory:
I don't have back up man , I already restore factory default and not working , I don't know what else to do
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] gregsarg:
It is critical that you wipe the device properly prior to an Odin restore....otherwise you are left with file remnants that will affect the new flash...

Once you have a good stock rom copy on the PC...and Odin version 3.0.9....do the following...

Use towelroot and root the device again...then load busybox and safestrap recovery again...

Once complete...."make a backup"...then...

wipe cache, system, and data just like usual using safestrap...

Then arrow back to the internal data wipe prompt inside of safestrap...and type "yes" to confirm the wipe of the data/media partition on your phone...

Note:...the above function is potentially dangerous as it "will " wipe all data from the data/media partition....including safestrap recovery...(the backup you made will save you if something goes wrong)...

Once the internal data wipe is complete....pull the battery to completely power down the device....

Wait 30 seconds and replace the battery....then boot into download mode for Odin flash of the stock rom....

Flash the rom....and test....

Warning :...

You do this at your own risk...g

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuildartZ:
Hi everybody!

This is my first post on XDA, so i'm a little nervous :p

OK, so I've a LG G2 (D802) and the D80220f version of soft and, like lots of users in France, we have an issue with a random sound profil switch.

Exactly, everytime the phone lost the network or switch between Edge, WDCMA and LTE, it's changing the sound profil.

In exemple: I take the train with a G2 in vibrate mode, if i loose network, it's changing to loud mode. Does someone have the same issue?

So I had test with a full stock version, I tried to restore a kdz of a older version and make the OTA update, tried to root the phone, still have this problem.

I had test the CloudyG3 rom, version 1.3, no sound problems.

Tried with the Pardus, and boom, i had the sound problems.

So I'm staying on the G3 port actually, but i like to come back on a stock rom, does anyone have an idea to solve this issue?

Hi,

my Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 wont turn on, its stuck on "firmware upgrade encountered an issue, use Kies...".

Recovery mode wont work, cant connect to Kies because phone wont turn on, only thing it works is Odin.

I can enter Download mode.

I have tried:

1) Installed new stock rom with Odin, it says PASS in Odin, no errors, but again i cant turn on the phone, only black screen and "firmware upgrade encountered an issue, use Kies...".

2) Installed new Kernel with CWM in ODIN, it says PASS, but still cant get to Recovery mode and problem still exist.

3) Installed new ROM after Kernel, and everything pass great in ODIN, and when i try to turn on phone or Recovery mode, it just vibrates once.

And when i connect with USB it says "firmware upgrade encountered an issue, use Kies...".

I have tried different Kernels for this phone, different ROMs, different Computer, different USB cable, and problem still apear.

I dont know what to do ?

Download mode working, Odin works fine, but still when i try to turn on Phone, it vibrates and black screen, and when connect to PC it says "firmware upgrade encountered an issue, use Kies...".

Still cant get Recovery mode to work.

Also tried to connect with adb, adb cant see phone. Only Odin can recognize phone on COM port.

Is there something else to do ?

Thank you.

I'd pay $100.00 for an unlocked bootloader....BTW.....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] UnhoIy:
This is exactly the point. For HTC, they provide a FREE way to unlock the bootloader. For my old Galaxy S3, it was FREE, for my N5, N4, Infuse 4G, N7/N7(2013) all FREE methods of unlocking the bootloader. Why would I pay anymore on this phone instead of just selling it for another phone that has a FREE method of unlocking.

I'll take all responsibility and understand that Samsung/AT&T will take no blame in the event that I brick my device, because I'm not an idiot and have and understanding of basic instructions. In reality, that's all it takes. An official release with step-by-step instructions, with a disclaimer that you are voiding your own warranty and they take no responsibility, which is exactly what HTC did;

It is literally that easy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
Ok, Way back "When", Android was only a dream the whole idea behind it was that it is "Open Source" based off of unix/linux. Meaning anyone can contribute to, modify code, build kernels etc. etc. THis is still the case anyone can still do all these things whether or not you have a locked bootloader. Bootloaders are proprietary code not Open Source, neither are the Carrier provided APPs.

So what this boils down to is the carriers aren't violating any laws or regulations by locking the bootloader. So what this amounts to is the it is up to the manufacturer to unlock the BL and up to the Carrier to allow the open source access to their APPs.

We all at times seem to forget that it is not ATT, Verizon or any other carrier that is locking the BL it is the MFG, now granted 99% of the timeit is at the request of the Carrier, it's all part of doing business. It's not the carrier who provides the means to unlock the BL it is the MFG that does so, Yelling at ATT, Verizon or any other carrier is fruitless.

all things being equal - I wouldn't pay anything it really isnt that important to me (Notice I said ME).

Afternoon,

Yesterday I restarted my phone and I noticed I got an option I hadn't gotten before. I can't remember exactly but it asked me if it wanted to start up using greenify or Google. I wasn't sure which to pick but as my finger hovered over to touch the Google option the greenify option was chosen.

Any help on this?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] S1L3nTShaDoWz:
Yes, navigate to settings > App manager > Greenify (may have to use search function to find this) > clear defaults. That should clear the default action from Greenifying your phone instead of giving you the option to do both. If you don't want to even have the option popup again and you only want Google search then just select it and tap always when you swipe up.
