[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Th3DON:
Hi to all xperia z2 users.

I have galaxy s4 currently and planning to upgrade my phone. I don't have a big budget but recently the price for xperia-z2 is dropped in eBay India (imported ones)

The other attractive phone for me is the xiaomi MI 4, I love their Miui 6. MI 4 is far cheaper compared to the xperia-z2 and specs are about the same.

So I am looking forward for your opinions on this Sony phone. Does it worth to buy. I heard Waterproof is not working for everyone. Is that correct?

Or shall I go for MI 4 or any other phones..

Edit : If anyone has any experience or suggestions on xperia z1 compact, please respond. I love that small beast.

Thanks in advance
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
In my opinion its worth buying because i personaly love the sony UI

i recomend Xperia Z1, ZU if your not wiling to pay for Z2

if not an Xperia Nexus 5 is definatly something worth it and if you can pay up for a LG G3 then its worth it

Oppo N7 and One+one are alternates which are worth it, with the One+ being better than the N7 in terms of other quality

the Water proofing with Xperia Z2 is only a problem with Defective units

any questions about a phone ask :D

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Th3DON:
Do you have any idea on the Z1 compact. ? about it's performance compared with Z2.

And also, does these xperia z series phones (especially black ones) have wears and tears (of finger) on the back panel ?

* I believe, this doesn't affect much in while color phones ?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
Performance is simular, Z2 being slightly faster due to hardware but not by much due to firmware

Xperias dont realy ware easy exept the flaps/port covers

White colored or lighter colored phones dont realy discolor or smudge too much unless you dont wash your hands often :/

I think the best bet for a device that is good is wait for Z2 to get 4.4.4 at this point

The device is tougher than Z1 and has a overal improved feel than Z1, its also not as expencive as Z3 and with this new upcoming update (probably couple months max im guessing) then Z2 is definatly worth it

Id take it in black just because damage doesnt show as easy with me and my clumbsyness

Thru out the years, I have had phone with gorilla glass and have had no screen protectors ever and have had no scratches ever! Now, I am carful as hell with my phones but my z2 I did the same as I usually do and I did get scratches. Front and back. My only guess is, this was because of the dragontail glass which is not as strong as gorilla glass when it comes to scratches. I do hope that sony went with gorilla glass this time. Anyone know for sure?

PS - I want to say that the Z3 is dragontail glass again as GSM arena spec site says "shatterproof glass" and it says gorilla glass 3 for other phones like the S5 and Note 4. The specs listed there for the Z3 for the screen protection say the same as the Z2. That sucks... ohwell, guess I need a crappy screen protector on this shinny NEW phone... sigh....
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonathan-H:
Get a Nilkin tempered glass screen protector if you really feel worried. I've ordered one. They feel as good, if not actually better than the glass on the phones anyway, and a drop means the screen protector breaks, not the screen.

Really recommend one.

I have used the Galaxy Note 8.0 (GT-N5110) for a couple of months. But since the offical Update from Samsung i cant use the external SD-Card as i would. OK, there are soo much CustomRoms out there...

And now?

I have testet the Cyanogenmod, wow 3 times longer Batterypower! I can read/write on SD-Card as i will, OK. But the important feature (i am a teacher) i cant find the allsharecast Dongle in the screenmirroring menu!

OK, another CustomRom CivZ-Flexrom in the description says it would support my Allsharecast Dongle.

And i can see and find the dongle in the menu, but then stops the "allsharecast dongle s/w update" and the connection wasn't established. (i have used triangle Away, the App says: Current Status / Counter: 0 / binary: Official / Device: GT-N5110 / System: official)

Is there somewhere, who can help me?

Hi,

I've looked through the forums but can't seem to find any ROMs that are stable for use on the phone for daily use. Most of the ROMs in the Android Development section are nightlies and if it doesn't state that it is a Nightly in the title you can only tell that it is a Nightly Rom by actually looking at the thread. Can anyone suggest to me stable ROMs that I could use? And does anyone know if rooting the phone wipes it? Because rooting threads make no mention of this and I'm not sure if this particular type of model gets wiped when it is rooted.

Thanks

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blaalad12:
Hi guys. This is not specific to the z3 i guess but just wanted to ask here as i can't ask Vodafone. Let me explain why. Basically Vodafone have somehow mistakenly added credit to my phone to the amount of €300. No idea why or how this happened but it's been over 24 hours and it's still on the phone so it appears to be legit. However, iam already receiving free texts and calls so i can't use the credit lol it also can't be used in the Google play store which is a shame. Does anyone know if it's possible to use phone credit to make purchases online? If possible then root access would be required i imagine?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maverick1103:
If Vodafone have added it as a credit then it will go on to your bill, basically you'll get like 10 months free assuming your line rental is €30 a month.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blaalad12:
Iam pay as you go and signed up for free texts etc The only thing i get charged for is calls and i barely make any to significantly use up much credit! If i could use the credit for the app store it would be awesome but even better if it could be used to shop online as i have quiet alot on the phone but i highely doubt it possible to shop online with unused credit ha
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maverick1103:
In that case then I'm not sure. Ring Vodafone and ask for a refund, then you can do what you want!

Hey Guys,

I was able to successfully root my Note 3 Neo (N750) with help of Philz recovery (many thanks). After doing usual nandroid backups, Xposed and stuff.

I wanted to change look and feel of my phone. Since there are not many custom roms and most of the cool themes are for CM, I tried my hand at HKThemeManager to apply CM themes on stock samsung rom.

Did anyone had any success?

I would like to port themes to be compatible with stock firmware. Devs/seniors please point me in right direction.

Thanks,

Please try this methid to unlock your tablet.

1. When you try different patterns and unable to unlock your phone in five attempts. Then a message pop-up and shows two buttons “next” and “try again”.

2. Now click on “next” button and you see two options for unlocking phone. One is answer the security question and the second option is to

provide Google account details.

3. Mostly people don’t set a security question. But if you set it then simply answer the question and unlock your device quickly. Otherwise check the Google account option and click “next”.

4. Now provide your Google account username and password attached with your device and click on “sign in”.

5. After that you are directed to choose new pattern and now you can unlock with this pattern.

Well, even I m on the same ROM.. I didn't have any issues related to battery till date. About the other so-called problem, actually it isn't a problem per say.

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danthemanz:
Hi guys,

Long time Android hacker, first time Sony user.

Im sorry if this has come up before but i have a question about the Bootloader unlock and TA partition wipe.

Based on experience of say the Z2, even if you acquire root first and backup your TA partition, are you able to run custom roms/kernels with the DRM/screen/camera optimizations at the same time? Or is the only point of the backup to restore if you are re-locking the bootloader?

I ask because if i cant have the screen optimization and root at the same time, i wont bother waiting to see if a root exploit becomes available as ill never run the phone stock anyway. If based on previous phones it might be possible to have both once you have a backup i will probably wait as i have other phones to use.

Thanks for your time.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
With an unlocked bootloader you cannot have those DRM keys

If you restore the TA backup then you automatically relock the bootloader as well.

You can not have your cake and eat unfortunately.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electrash:
No, backup is only if you want to relock bootloader and run Stock rom again.

You cant use DRM with other ROMS/KERNELS

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroUser83:
Hey,

I'm suffering some issues with two Samsung mobiles, namely a S3 and a Note2. Push notifications simply won't work reliably on both devices (lacking a data-capable SIM, I could only test on wifi, where other devices work like a charm).

I flashed with M9, then went to nightly, flashed the most recent GApps, and also tried push notification fixer, disabled wifi optimization, re-logged in via Hangouts, to no avail. Without a visible pattern, one or both devices fail getting GCM messages at all. Moving the device to airplane mode and back seems to newly roll the dice.

Wifi on those devices work, as I could ping them reliably, it's just GCM that doesn't work, visible in apps like Threema, but also in the Android device manager that is unable to locate the device, or the Play store when I remotely try to install an app. Putting the device on (unlocking not required) seems to cure the problem for a little while.

Having researched a bit, I'm quite clueless. As both devices IMHO are the same Exynos platform, and have been cleanly installed just a few days ago, is that maybe a known issue, related to Android 4.4 and wifi drivers?

Any chance of debugging GCM to see where the issue is?

Thanks!
