[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vtracer20:
battery life and build quality are two main factors i got hte z3 over z2. Plus i got a decent deal transferring my number to t-mobile here in Poland. Yesterday i spent a good days worth of internet browsing, watching vids online emails, calls and other stuff and at the end of the day still have 45% left.

I had this conversation with my friend about this, as he's thinking about the z2 or z3 and there isn't much different. They must of tweaked with the hardware or processor as battery life is great.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenwchan:
Went from a Z2 to Z3. Wife still has Z2 so I can compare side-by-side.

Battery life: Z2 was already pretty good; doesn't seem to be that much of a big difference

Display: Z3 seems a bit brighter on maximum

Processor: Z2 and Z3 are both snappy; I can't say I notice a huge difference.

Z3: Did have some black screen crash happen to me a few times. Seems to have been bluetooth related as it happened when I was trying to pair some devices.

By biggest issue I have is that the Z3 camera doesn't seem as good as the Z2 in less than bright light. Colours seem washed out or perhaps the a bit overexposed. Not as sharp or contrasty as Z2. It's almost like there is some lens flare to the z3. Also Z3's white balance seems not as good. This has been my biggest disappointment but I'm hopeful that this is software not hardware. Maybe it's because the higher ISO in low light is doing weird things.

I'll see if I can put a picture up with z3 and z3 side by side.

Regards,

Ken
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zendmaster:
I'm in the same boat. I was all set to upgrade from my Galaxy S3 to the Z3 today. When I got down to the store turns out my wireless provider has changed the pricing on the Z2. The Z3 (16GB) is $180 on a two year contract. The Z2 is now $0 on a two year contract. Not sure that the Z3 is worth $180 over the Z2.

Now I'm not sure what to do.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhinav.tella:
The Z3 is a minor improvement: Thinner, much brighter max brightness, little better battery life, slightly better speakers. Is it worth $180 thats up to you. The Z3 on TMO is 32GB which carrier are you on?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zendmaster:
I'm in Canada with Sasktel.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhinav.tella:
Go for the Z2 I guess $180 savings is a lot, especially since they are fairly close overall.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DRAGON_poop:
I have this Samsung Dart , a 2011 rooted Froyo phone and want to use it solely as bluetooth meadia player. I'm about to install the a CM rom on it, but want to know if there is anything I can do to completely wipe this phone to make it a simple mp3 player with bluetooth. No homescreens, no unnecessary apps and settings.

Is there anyway I can do this? I've searched the webs, but no luck.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CodeRR:
Hey Dragon poop,

you can search for a minimalistic rom (http://liquidsmooth.net/) or a debloated rom. But I think you won´t find a rom without a launcher/appdrawer.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] ADarkKnight:
I currently have a m7 that is S-Off, mainly for the Google edition conversion. I'm thinking about upgrading to the m8, and if I do I will most likely have the latest firmware. Anyone know if the latest firmware of the phone can be S-Off'd? And yes I understand some phones are built differently, but as a whole has it been possible?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] shadowsports:
Firmware rev could vary slightly based on manufacture date. I got my AT&T M8 the end of June. I think I saw somewhere a manufacture date of 5/2014 (can't remember where). Mine came with 1.12.502.18 FW.

I Dev.Unlocked, installed TWRP and installed ARHD 8.1 Stock ROM. It ran well, but I had the sound problem with music. Sometimes it played, sometimes it didn't Not the ROM's fault AFAIK. Friends with the same hardware rev as me running the same ROM had (music) sound.

I S-OFF'ed with Sunshine - worked perfectly

I then flashed my hboot - no red text - worked perfectly

I went Super CID - easy too

Flashed my FW to 2.22.401.5 - found thread that allows you to flash without computer or adb - this was very cool

Installed ARHD 11.1, but omitted the H/K sound mod to see if boom sound would work - it did

I then flashed HK _v6 with ADSP update - worked great

I believe sound was likely fixed when I upgraded, but was tired of going through set up even with back ups. I never dirty flashed either.

So, get Sunshine for S-OFF. It just works. If you think spending $25 to have your phone properly S-OFF'ed is unreasonable, then you shouldn't be modding your phone. It takes 5 mins and was well worth the money IMO.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] ADarkKnight:
Thanks for the reply. When I get it I'll try firewater first and if not then sunshine. 25$ IMO is a little high, but still reasonable and well worth it over dropping 800$ on a Google edition version.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] jball:
SunShine is definitely worth the money for sure.

[General Topics] Dhruvit Pokharna:
and under my direction you should use root explorer
[General Topics] Dhruvit Pokharna:
mine was not fixed by this method

one day i was exploring my sdcard and i found 81 gb virus file in a folder but my sdcard capacity was 32 gb so i copied all the things from sdcard except the virus and formatted it

moved all things back and it got fixed

may be you should also search your sdcard for virus or scan it with antivirus

Download root explorer - http://www48.zippyshare.com/v/71518744/file.html

FIrstly you should copy all the thing present in sdcard and if nothing appears like copying box

copy folder by folder and the one folder which doesnt copy and as i mentioned that the folder which is making windows to do nothing means nothing happens when you copy the folder.

except that folder copy all the things and paste it in pc volume and format sdcard and move things back

[Ascend Mate 7 General] getmobilephone:
This is a contract model and it works with the China Mobile's Sim card ONLY (or, stays at GSM only using other Sim). There is no way to unlocked the code, and of course, it does not work in NA. Unfortunate to hear.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] LucKyPunk:
I thought in one of your other threads you (getmobilephone) mentioned there might eventually be a rom unlocking the LTE for NA is that not the case??? I assume this is only a baseband software lock. Or is there actually a different modem chip?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] getmobilephone:
Dear LuckyPunk

For obvious reasons, It is difficult to answer this question. However, let's give you one example here:

LG G3 offers several different models in China market, four models now and three more soon (using Qualcomm 805 instead of 801).

Among them, there are two models featuring Dual-Sim, one is China Mobile version aka D858 (TDD only), one is International version aka D857 (FDD & TDD). D858 is supposed that can only be compatible with China Mobile's TDD-LTE bands; however, by flashing D857'S ROM, D858 can use both FDD and TDD networks.

Two facts from here:

1. Flashing ROM unlocks the additional LTE bands.

2. D858 can support China Mobile and China Unicom's Sim by flashing ROM; however, it does not work with foreign SIM.

Contract-Free version makes things easier. We predict the Chinese and International versions of MT7-TL10 share the identical hardware. Flashing the international ROM very likely will enable the necessary LTE bands to work in NA.

Just an additional note here, the system RAM actually available for use is around 1.6 GB after the system starts, for 3/32 GB version. Think about this fact before you pull the trigger for 2/16 GB version.

Let us know if you have additional questions.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] teddykgb715:
Hey guys,

Not sure what I did wrong. I was flashing from an AOSP rom to Android Revolution Rom and it went through Aroma successfully but now stuck at HTC boot screen. If I boot into fastboot it automatically loads hboot and of course I still have an 0b6 img so it immediately starts to load that. I can't shut down, have to do hard reset where the cycle repeats.

If I leave it at the boot screen long enough the screen goes blank.

Help?

You can pop out your sd card. Boot to recovery and pop it back in the second you select recovery.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevinkoo:
Hi All,

I upgrade the phone from Xperia Z (4.4.2, 1st screenshot) to Z3 (4.4.4, 2nd screenshot), and I'm surprised to find Google Wallet in Z3 with "Visa payWave" now. However since I'm existing China Unionpay "QuickPass" (another NFC pay system, like Visa payWAVE and Master PayPass ) User, it brings problem/conflict when I use NFC pay:

*China Unionpay goes to Co-work between China telecom operators and specific China Bank (Unionpay based), those Banks authorize such telecom operators to issue a specific "NFC-USIM" card (micro-sim) in Android mobile, plus Bank's app, then you could use QuickPass NFC pay as long as you activate NFC function in your mobile;

*Google Wallet, you must be well known of it, completely goes to Mobile's NFC function itself, and nothing to do with Telecom operator/network/SIM card.

Now it's the problem/conflict, before when I use Z, there is no "payWave" in Google Wallet, when I triggered NFC, only Unionpay QuickPass working with POS. But now, when I trigger NFC, and goes to POS, both Visa payWave (in Google Wallet) and Unionpay QuickPass (in NFC-USIM/Bank App) working, the result seems Visa payWave overwrites (or higher priority in NFC pay choose) and QuickPass can never work any more.

So it seems the solution must be I go to uninstall Google Wallet, to have Unionpay QuickPass

single working

? I really hope there be some way/method we could choose what payment method we go to every time when we triggered NFC pay.... Thanks!

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skywalker6705:
I am having the same issue in Japan. The Felicia payment system doesn't show up in Tap to Pay under Xperia settings, so you can't choose which one to use. If you install Google Wallet it just takes over for NFC actions. Hopefully there's some kind of workaround for this.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevinkoo:
Dear, did you try uninstall Google Wallet? I tried but still CAN'T have Unionpay Quickpass work... it seems Z3 for whatever reason just can't read the encrypt info in NFC-USIM card.

Will Sprint unlock it for me so I can use it on a trip im taking overseas? I'm not sure what their policy is..and I know they do it OTA, so that means I have to be on stock rom right?

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jay5583:
They will usually unlock it for international roaming after having the phone on your account for 90 days.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drugman109:
please note that most of the world is now based on GSM and Sprint is a CDMA based service. Once unlocked you would probably need a GSM sim card installed in order to use the S5 (this sim card can either be one from the US, a more expensive option, or a local sim wherever you are traveling to).

In Europe, especially UK, there are many cheap GSM sim operators.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] euklid:
Yeah that's the plan for me to buy a local sim in that country so I can use the phone with a local number there. Do you know what bands the gsm works on?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drugman109:
Depending on the country involved they use 900 and 1800 mainly but the s5 has all the bands used in Europe. Note that T Mobile is a major carrier so you should be ok with this phone if it is truly unlocked
