You're so lucky. It's currently listed at $675. The only one cheaper is never-msrp at $665.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jiggyb21:
This has been discussed a few times on here. The reports range from--

(this is the party I belong to) you're covered with the full 2 yr warranty, but since the phone was manufactured for a different country, they will give no estimated time of return stating that if the phone needs a region specific part it will need time to ship here

all the way to Sony saying it hates it's customers buying phones overseas and will offer zero assistance. I say again that I have had them take a phone in from me and return me a brand new in box unit 30 days later.

Just contacted Sony and I don't even need to register my phone for the warrant, apparently my phone already came with a 1 year warrant from Sony.

I have the Black Z3 (D6603)
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tom1226:
I'm unfortunately in the latter camp with my z2, bought from never-msrp on eBay and am having a really weird screen issue. Sony USA says they won't touch it since the IMEI is from Hong Kong, and Sony HK says they won't since I don't have a bill of sale directly from them showing that it is "Hong Kong officialgoods".

In case you (or anyone) might have input on what's causing my issue (weird, it's like the bottom row of pixels is being taken from the bottom and then displayed at the very top row of the display), here is a short youtube video I uploaded to show what's going on. Factory reset didn't fix it, software repair didn't fix it. Suggestions appreciated. http://youtu.be/BHtR5hylmN4
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sygyzy:
I am thinking about picking up a Sony Z3 Compact from the same seller. Is there any way to figure out where the IMEI is from and if Sony will support it, ahead of time?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zombiej79:
If its a sealed product and you register it when you get it you should get the basic warranty
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hebbe:
I think it's depending on the country you're living in / you're buying the product.

eg. in germany you have a two year warranty enforced by law if you buy from a professional reseller. the law defines what's covered and how to handle. and you have the claim against the seller, not the manufacturer. because the seller is your contractual partner.

but a manufacturer can provide an additional guarantee, which does not affect the legal warranty. this guarantee can be set up by the manufacturer in whatever way he wants to.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhinav.tella:
Just make sure you get a your region version on eBay.

Are your very lucky. Everytime I end up contact sony support they give me the other story saying they are not able to honor my warranty due it a international model.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] JayRayMee.NL:
Hi,

When I'm connected to my Wi-Fi network at home and when I want to sign in using the Windows Live Messenger in Crossbow, the program always starts a GPRS/3G connection, even though the Universal is connected to Wi-Fi.

Other communication software, like 'Inbox' and the 'Internet Explorer' are just using the available connection only, so Wi-Fi when there's Wi-Fi and otherwise GPRS/3G.

Windows Live Messenger doesn't.

Am I the only one with this problem? Or does someone know if the Live Messenger actually uses the started GPRS/3G connection when already connected by Wi-Fi or not?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Anton.Valleyman:
Same here on CB or WM5. Remember it's still a beta!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Goldry:
I've been told it's a "feature" not a bug!

The only way I know of forcing Windows Live Messenger to use Wifi is to put the machine into flight mode. PITA, but that's the best I can do.

G
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] JayRayMee.NL:
So, with the phone on, it will always use the 3G/GPRS even with Wi-Fi activated?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] hiimcliff:
there is a tweak to disable gprs all together. that is the only known fix.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] JayRayMee.NL:
What is that tweak?

Isn't there just a tweak to have the Messenger only use the cellular service when Wi-Fi is NOT available?
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TenderloinShadow:
So I've owned Android phones for years. Droid X, S3, and now the One M8. I even had a brief stint with an Android Tablet, the HP Touchpad after the firesale, but it's been years and I barely used it anyway.

So I'm very new to the Android Tablet world, and I'm looking for input on how to get started.

What are the best tablet-optimized apps? (this is the biggest one I'm looking for)

What are the best tablet-optimized games?

What is the best productivity suite for tablets? (I've asked this in several threads and gotten some good feedback, but I'm always looking for more)

Where is a good place to get ideas for creative homescreen setups for tablets? (I'm one of the crazy people who's really into that)

Any other awesome tablet-specific tips anyone has?

Thanks so much. Can't wait to get this baby!
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EniGmA1987:
I dont know the answers to most of your questions since my app use and games tend to be limited to just the few types of games I enjoy these days, but as for homescreens I am sure we will see some awesome homescreen setups in a thread here soon enough. That would be the best place to get ideas I think because it will be from other users of this tablet. I love to customize the homescreen with new designs often too, but I generally stay with a similar feel. Which is minimal icons and widgets on screen, just a handful of shortcuts to launch the most common things, and double tap to get to the app drawer which I organize and filter to only show the specific apps I would ever use and not all the random ones. Here are a couple I did on my Nexus 10 from a couple years back:

[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rodrigorajao:
IMO, it should be the other way around. You should buy a tablet for a reason/purpose, not find a reason/purpose to buy a tablet. Otherwise, it'll end up sitting in a drawer just like the previous one.

You say you've used Android phones before. The tablet experience isn't much different besides the bigger screen. The same advantages and disadvantages are present. It's pretty much universally agreed upon that Android is still pretty weak for tablet-optimized apps and games. It all comes down to your preference for screen sizes.

The reason I use a tablet is because sometimes I wish my smartphone had a bigger screen. It's nice to surf the web, watch Youtube, and read e-books. I run the pretty much the same apps on both my Tab S and my Nexus 5.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkygod:
Clash of Clans should work well on Android tablets. It's a game that really needs a bigger screen. If you like city building games, try the new SimCIty buildit game which EA touts as being tablet optimized. Also, i read somewhere that Hearthstone will be release by the end of the year for Android tablets specifically (phone releases won't be available until later).

My two favorite customization apps are Zooper Widget and Nova Launcher. You should give them a try on the tablet. Checkout the XDA forum section for Themer and Zooper to get ideas: http://xdaforums.com/themer

I set mine up to be a pr0n only account and set the subreddits accordingly.

[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adrluna23:
I'd definitely recommend using Google Apps (Keep, Drive, Slides, etc.) these sync across your Google account which makes them extremely useful when you use a PC. You could use Microsoft's version of apps of this if that is more your style. I'd get a controller if you're planning on some heavy gaming as well; there are tons of bluetooth ones that work great. I definitely recommend rooted this tablet as there will tons and tons of development for it! Good luck!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Robbzilla:
OK... I'm 99% through the process of getting S-off through Dirty Racun. I was up late last night, and was getting communication issues with RabiesShot, so I'll burn a disk (I was working in VMware) and try again.

That being said, I'm running the RUU that racun provided (RUU 3.15.651.16 - HBOOT 2.09), and I'm continuing to have a problem with my DSP manager.

I get no sound. Nothing. Nada. The phone will dial, but I can't hear anything. It won't ring. And when I try to play music, it tells me that the DSP Manager has failed, and crashes out.

This has been happening since sometime after I put RageLTE v1.0.2 on it. This isn't necessarily a causal factor, and I'm wondering if I'm experiencing a hardware issue instead of a software one, since this has followed me to the new ROM.

Any suggestions? I'll complete the S-Off process before doing anything else, but I'm in a quandry.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
I would finish the S-off process and then RUU to the most recent software version and see if your issues persist. If so, then you most likely have a hardware issue.

Also, instead of using Dirty Racun, I would have gone the Facepalm route, especially considering how simple it is to use compared to DR. Takes about five minutes or less from start to finish.
[Moto 360] DroidXAce:
Hello !

Sorry for my level English :good:

After extensive research and collaboration with Jonathan L - developer of the Boss for Wear Application Music - I found a way to fix the bug on our Moto 360 (which must also be present on other round watches) which cuts text in numerous applications.

Indeed, if the language of the watch is not US English, round watches are like square watches detect when an app that checks the form and therefore cut the text.

To resolve this concern pending a fix from Google, nothing more simple:

* - Reinstall the watch

* - Choose English (US)

* - Synchronized with the watch phone

But what is good about this trick is that one way or another (I do not know the reason for it), the phone will force the clock to use the language used on the same phone.

So you Google Now and menus (settings, etc.) in the language of your phone, in my case French. It is not pretty?

An example for the Boss Wear Music app:

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soulfly3:
since the new Hangouts upgrade I have has an issue on my n5 that I dont have on other phones

when i compose an sms and I search for a contact... I get a 2 second delay before it finds the contact... SLOW

prior to this, and on other phones, it narrows it w every letter I type and is instantaneous. anyone else? ideas?

thanks!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FourPointedFreak:
I haven't had this kind of issue on my Nexus 5 - the only issue I had was (on a Note 3) after the big update, Hangout conversations were laggy in animations (upon sending a message, receiving or even opening the keyboard) and couldn't find a fix.

I don't know what's causing your issue but what I did on the Note to 'fix' it was uninstall the update. Maybe this will make it easier for you to use? The only problem I had with uninstalling the update was it doesn't include "merged conversations" but to most people this is no big deal.

Go into the Play Store > My Apps > Hangouts - and hit "Uninstall" and it'll drop the update. You won't get the fancy green box around your sent messages, (both incoming and outgoing) are grey, but this increases the performance.

Hope this helps.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soulfly3:
thanks.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, and nothing.

the program works smooth and fast everywhere else... no lags.

only when finding a contact
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FourPointedFreak:
When I previously posted, I was on Stock 4.4.4. Last night I flashed CM11 and have been using Hangouts and I had the same lag issue I described + your contact search lag. I went into the settings for Hangouts and unchecked the option to display my Google Voice information and after a reboot, I see no lag issues for me.

Maybe this helps?

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soulfly3:
thanks for trying to help, btu I dont have google voice, thus I dont have this option to uncheck.

It's actually really annoying me.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FourPointedFreak:
Yeah, most people don't have Google Voice - it was the last option to try. Are you using a launcher and/or have you changed (via Developer Settings) the animation scales?

Sometimes these could play an effect, but why it would only be affected when you search for a contact via Hangouts is beyond me.

*Update* I'm learning this might just be a flaw with the version of Hangouts because my has the same delay again now.

Hi all,

For those who have the experiences/luxury to tried on

both Herald and Hermes, can you pls share your experience

between the two ?

I am had a hard time deciding which to get.

Hermes is selling at much lower price than Herald over here.

Herald does not seem to be picking up here.

Also O2 Zinc in also about to be avaliable in matters of weeks.

I get the general feedback that Herald is much more

responsive than Hermes despite slower speed processors -

a big factor of consideration for me.

Specifications for both devices is OK for my usage/applications.

What I need is actual user feedback in comparision of the

2 devices such as

- actual battery life performance?

- skype performance?

- device stability ... etc ?

- third party devices accessories - e.g. dual sim card add on....etc ?

Thanks in advance.
[Wing, P4350 General] s4vva:
I was in the same predicament, it came down to the fact that because i have a crappy data plan i would have no use for 3G, so I went for the much smaller and better looking (IMHO) herald. Very happy with it.
[Wing, P4350 General] Applestar:
does the Herad has the same freeze issues ?

This would be really important for me since 2 resets a day with my TyTN/Hermes is just too much...
[Wing, P4350 General] meisterlampe2000:
I have to restart it once every 3 days or so, using the Herald very very often !

But this always depends a lot on which Software you have currently installed on your device !
[Wing, P4350 General] bugmenot:
I would assume this would change with XV6800(verzion version of the Herald with rev a 3G) since it has 256 of memory and aku 3.5?
[Wing, P4350 General] OHERBERT:
Get my Herald today

Hey,

I get my Herald today. Since today I used an TYTN.

First: Herald impressed me with they good performance and better looking.

Tomorrow I start to test it with all my programm from TYTN.

The TYTN has at the end problems with freezing.

I give you update

Oliver
[Wing, P4350 General] bugmenot:
what is the update?
[Wing, P4350 General] OHERBERT:
Top Herald

Hello,

after 6 days using the Herald and play a lot of programmes on my Herald i can, say: Herald ist top, no freezing, good performance and it feels good.

I use it with an alucase and this ist the very much better with the TYTN. No problems to switch on camera, Com Manager....... The buttons on Herald are well placed (better than the TYTN). The Keyboard is better than the TYTN (no uncontrolled outcoming).

+ Better Keyboard

+ No freezes

+ Good inital Quality

- Performance a little bit slower than TYTN (but its OK)

If need to buy an HTC, at the moment I would buy an Herald (But I think after Herald generation there will come an Herald with 3G and a better CPU like the Samsung with AKU 3.X, thats my next HTC "Herald")

Oliver
[Wing, P4350 General] Applestar:
Thx

Thanks for the update. Funny enough I mananged to get my Hermes running without any freezes: I am quite sure it is the SD card reading that can cause some lock-ups. So I maanged to get just every frequently used app on my internal memory. And the eMails & attachements as weel. I managed to use my hermes since 96 hours without freeze now.

Well, the Heradl seems quite nice - I will probalby get it as a second device and test it thoroughly.

Regards,

Thank you!
[HTC Desire 601] Vency77:
DOWNLOADS, INSTRUCTIONS, INFO, USEFUL STUFF

Before proceeding, keep in mind that the update zips are made for the kitkat hboot 2.22 (system at mmcblk0p35, data at mmcblk0p37, boot at mmcblk0p33, etc.) This means that if you are on older partition table, the ROM may break your partitions!​

Installing instructions PLEASE READ THEM:

Download the ROM, GAPPS and MEDIA FIX. Place them somewhere on your sdcard.

Reboot to recovery and perform a data wipe

Flash

unofficial_miui_4.6.13_jb_4.2.2_Vency77_TF.zip

Flash

miuiandroid_gapps-4.2.2-small_signed-8012.zip

Reboot and let the ROM boot

IMPORTANT! When the ROM boots, you will see a lockscreen. DONT unlock it because you will have system media FC'es. Hold the power button, Power Off the device (dont tap Reboot, it doesnt have native 'Reboot to recovery' option), boot into bootloader->recovery, then

flash fix_media_miui.zip

and reboot. You shouldn't have more FC'es, but you may need to perform a reboot or two so the media can be rescaned.

And no, this CANT be flashed when flashing ROM!

Start the MIUI journey!

Optional: Use the aroma installer to install some additional apps and services (list of them is below)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Removed apps:

I have removed some apps from the rom, either because they didnt worked well, or they are useless. Here is a list and aroma zip to install some of them if you want:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Workaround for some of the bugs:

1) There isnt menu native menu button. There are different options, the best one for me is this: download and install WSM tools(this is the xposed framework for MIUI). When installed, go to the application, framework, install the framework and reboot. Then start WSM Tools again, go to the online Tab, click "Repository" and mark 'Xposed'. Then search for GravityBox JB, install it, enable the module in WSM, reboot. Then in GravityBox you have many options for menu button - enable pie controls or go to 'Navigation keys actions' and remap home or back button.

2) The Xunlei Download Engine is crashing the media server. When flashing fix_media_miui.zip, it is disabled so there is no problem, but if you enable it in Download Manager, you will have errors again... so dont do it, and if it happens - flash the fix again :)

3) Themes are now working!

To download themes from the market, install XiaomiServiceFramework with the aroma installer.

To install local (.mtz) themes, you have to have installed Mi Tools module for WSM tools, which disables Xiaomi restrctions for free themes.

These are the main bugs and their workarounds, if you have any questions or dont understand something - feel free to ask and I will help you :)
