I am that guy with the 4th handset lol. Don't be put off, even many iPhone 6s are being returned to TMO, it happens as the device is new and sometimes there is a bad batch. TMO got dumped a bad batch, just go to store and check there if it has issues they will open another one and you can get a good one. Remember even the the HTC M7 had issues with purple cam etc and the G3 with cracks near the mic, for some batches, no company is immune. Mostly people with defects are vocal on forums and those without issues generally don't come on forums to praise so obviously on forums talk will be skewed towards the problems/defects.

Its a good phone, but if you think you may be careless the M8 is better as its more impact resistant as corners of LCD are protected by a much thicker metal frame.

Overall though the Z3 has better battery life, camera, and speakers are "almost" as good as the M8, and as you mentioned before its not as bulky. Waterproofing is also a plus.
[Xperia Z3 General] jhun80:
Very encouraging indeed. Im on my 7th day, 2nd phone replacement due to screen gap and some bugs. So far, im "ok" but not 100% yet, I hope ? everything's gonna be alright AFTER the 14th day(exchange/return period)
[Xperia Z3 General] cubic25:
Your upbeat attitude towards this phone is very encouraging. Funnily enough just as you were posting this, another user on whirlpool (Australian based forum), reported another crack.

I might wait it out and see if they make changes to resolve these issues.

Has anyone else here come from the N5 or moto x 2014? Do you like the change?
[Xperia Z3 General] abhinav.tella:
I came from a G2 which is basically a Nexus 5+, its a good upgrade, though I still love the G2 as well. G2 (6-7Hrs SOT) gets pretty close battery life to the Z3 (7-8.5 Hrs SOT), but N5 (3-4Hrs SOT) and Moto X users will see a night and day difference in battery life as the Z3 is that much bettery in terms of battery life.
[Xperia Z3 General] Richie5767:
So I ordered my Sony Xperia Z3 this week after browsing the forums for some time. I was previously using the S5 which worked great, but I wanted a phone that was more stock and aesthetically pleasing. After careful consideration, I realized that I could do with the QC and ordered a white d6603 Xperia Z3 from eBay. It just arrived today and I have to say that it is perfect. I don't have any screen gap, pink lens, nor misshaped cover flaps. While you do read a lot about the problems, do consider that this is a small portion of the total consumers of the Z3 and it does not affect everyone. Currently, I've been using this phone for a day and have had only one problem. I activated google now for all screens and I get this camera message saying "Recording in progress in another app. Cannot record error." A simple google search fixed my problem as it seems there is a bug where google now will cause that message to pop up.

Overall, its a great phone. Although the camera is not as great as my previous S5, I can live with it. I just wish I had gotten the black because the white gets dirty pretty quick. I'd definitely recommend this.
[Xperia Z3 General] abhinav.tella:
Funny enough, when I sent in my first for a replacement I cancelled the online reorder as they had no stock. Ironically yesterday I get a notification that "your phone is one the way". I had to call T-Mobile and tell them to pull it out of UPS, otherwise I would now have a 5th phone as well lol.

I have now 3 EIPS that I have to pay because they still havent verified my returns, because apparently they are too busy handling a large number of defective iPhone 6s lol, according to a rep.
[Xperia Z3 General] Dom3000:
I have Z3 for 3 weeks now and it works perfect. No flaws in design too. Only thing I regret is that I did not get some other color. I got black, but it was the only option get here.
[Xperia Z3 General] jayr04:
So that's why my EIP didn't come off yet
[Xperia Z3 General] Akiainavas:
You will find problems with every single phone. There are no perfect devices.

Buy the Z3 if you like it - if there is anything wrong with it, just replace it - that's why we have warranties, that's why we have consumer laws.

Really happy with my Z3:

"Screens cracking, waterproofing not working, very poor reception (in AU at least), chassis creaking noises when pressed, dodgy camera buttons, inconsistent screen calibration, inconsistent picture quality."

No cracks on mine, waterproofing works just fine, reception is at least 2 bars better than my iPhone 6 in most places, no noises, camera button works just fine.
[Xperia Z3 General] Fr3lncr:
Coming from a Nexus 5, I've spent a lot of time analyzing what would be my next Android phone. I considered the Moto X (2014) as well but what was turning me off was the battery life and camera performance though I love the feel of Motorola phones and their Android skin is the best this side of the Nexus phones. As my main gripes with my Nexus 5 were battery life and screen brightness outdoors (not the camera which I actually liked), I just can't go back to a poor performing battery so the Moto X is out.

I picked up a Z3 and had it for few days and I have to say the battery life was great and the screen was really bright so my two Nexus 5 issues were addressed.

I can't say I liked the performance of the speakers (no where near as good as my Z30) but definitely better than the Nexus 5. Camera performance didn't do much for the few indoor tests I did but I didn't try it enough to put it through its paces. I also can't say I liked the feel of the phone in my hand. I'm used to larger phones but it just didn't seem to fit right (again, not as nice as a Motorola phone or my Z30).

In the end, while 'technically' proficient, I just didn't 'love' it so I returned it. But in many aspects, I think it is one of the best Android phones you can buy right now as it does many things well, just not in a package that suits me. I can't see going for a HTC One M8 right now as there will be a new one in... what... 4 months? Not to mention that the battery life with the M8 wouldn't be as good as the Z3. Since an Android phone is a secondary phone for me, I can live with waiting a while longer before committing to something but if I had to buy today, I'd probably go with the Z3 despite my issues with it. Afterall, no phone is perfect.
[Xperia Z3 General] hanime:
This was exactly how I felt about the Z3, also coming from the Nexus 5. A lot of improvements coming from the Nexus 5, mainly the battery life and screen, but I think I expected a lot more from the camera. This is where it is weak.
[Xperia Z3 General] cubic25:
So do you guys think the droid turbo, despite being 11mm thick, might feel better in the hand? I remember holding the z2 and instantly hating the way it felt. It was like holding a slab of glass. I thought the z3 would be better due to its thinness and curved edges.

EDIT: Watched a few more clips about the Droid. No one has mentioned how thick it is. In-fact, most commented on how nice it was to hold.

I think I am going to jump ship from the Z3 and get the Droid. I also like that it will be more drop resistant.

Thanks for the input from everyone. Greatly appreciated.

For those that came from nexus 5, how is the performance of the z3 compared? Is it just as fast?
[Xperia Z3 General] guybrush2099:
It's faster than nexus 5.

Root and ubl could only increase the gap of performance
[Xperia Z3 General] jayr04:
I had a N5 and then M8. To me they are all around the same speed. You probably couldn't tell unless you did a side by side comparison
[Xperia Z3 General] bigsnack:
How is reception vs LG devices(N5/G2/G3)?
[Xperia Z3 General] abhinav.tella:
As good if not better than my LG G2, on par with my moms' IPhone 6.
[Xperia Z3 General] Jonathan-H:
The M8 betters my Z3 in almost every single aspect. And in a fall, i'd take the M8 any day. I made a mistake getting the Z3. It's a good phone, but the M8 it replaced walks all over it.

Don't expect good build with the Z3 because mine started perfect, but is slowly starting to creak shall we say...

As for speed, the M8 is faster, at most things, unlocking, scrolling, opening apps, camera etc etc.

I had the same problem

Hi Guys,

I had the same problem several days ago. Searched this forum, found many have the same problem, posted my question and no reply as others.

Now how did I fixed the problem:

Did a hard reset

Press ResetButton and hold down CameraButton + RecordButton.

Hold them pressed until the "Boot Options" menu appears on the screen.

Select the options as follows:

(for selecting use RecordButton, change values with CameraButton)

Enable KITL -> NO

Clean Registry Hive -> YES

Format Storage -> YES

When done, press DPad and wait until OS starts.

I am not sure if this would work for you. But it certainly did fix my "No Service" problem :)

Thanks

Nazer
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] ashwin1:
no it didn't work for me,

But thanks for your idea

So a week ago, I got my note 4 and had a reboot. Upon research, a factory reset was supposed to resolve it for the future. I did that and never had another issue until today.

I just contacted them.

The representative said that they don't have the information on when the Droid Turbo Developer Edition will be released but he assures me that "that is the phone that is next online to be released on our end."

I think "online" was meant to be "in line."

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] nvsocr7:
I wonder why moto can't/won't release a dev edition ROM for current and provide a way to securely flash it; they could even charge for it and I would be fine with it. All a dev edition changes is the status of the bootloader, correct? There isn't anything physically different between the two devices right?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] jasoraso:
Was this from Verizon or Motorola? If it was Verizon, I'd put about a 1% confidence rating; if Motorola I'd put a 35% confidence rating.

That being said: I'd sell my Turbo in a heartbeat for a developer version.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] jaben2:
Same here I would be surprised if it actually comes out. If so it looks like I would be passing mine out for a good price to pick up the developer edition.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Roobix:
It was from Motorola. The Droid Maxx developer edition was released one month after the release of the Droid Maxx, so it could be soon...

No we do not have a rootable edition. Droid Turbo is the name of the forum, and the Maxx is useless on Verizon, where nearly all Turbo users are with them.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] the_rooter:
I honestly dont think there will be a developer edition for the turbo on verizon. Heck I really dont believe the nexus will come to verizon just from talking to some reps. They said they nexus to work on the network never said anything about getting it to be bought through verizon. Just stating my opinion. Those of you waiting to get the nexus 6 should be better off going through google or motorola.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] mistermojorizin:
So still no developer / pure edition for this beast? I'd pick that up immediately.

Hi all,

I've never installed android on a mobile device & I'm not sure if I can use any flavor of Android available

or if it's advisable.

Google's dev site, has Nexus 7 4.1.1 kernels available for download. I don't know if I should install it for

my generic tablet. I'm a bit hesitant in installing, even though it's what's installed, because this device

is my baseline for testing a game that I'm developing for low-end hardware.

My problem is that the company pushed updates that BRICKED my tablet.

If anyone has thoughts or can help me I would really appreciate it.

The company's support is atrocious! This will be the 2nd time I'd have to send a device back to them for

an RMA...once is enough.

Specs if it helps: 1GHz dual core Cortex-A9, Mali-400 MP GPU, 1Gb RAM

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajr901:
My AT&T M7 was bootloader unlocked, S-OFF, TWRP installed, Custom ROM (PA), and rooted. I wanted to sell it so I got a SIM Unlock code from AT&T. I went to input the unlock code and it wouldn't work. Apparently you have to be on stock hboot (which I wasn't since I did the google play edition conversion a long time ago) and on a stock ROM (which I also wasn't). So I tried to restore through an RUU.exe and it wouldn't work. RUU.zip didn't work either. So I restored my CID to CWS__001 and that didn't work (I had super CID before). I restored back to stock hboot 1.44 easily. Then I guess I somehow started just clicking random combinations of things inside of HTC One Toolkit and managed to relock my device and s-on so that I could try to restore a stock RUU. I must have done that incorrectly though because now I have no ROM installed, no recovery installed, and I'm S-ON with a message that says "security warning". I'm unable to flash a ROM since I don't have a recovery.

I went to HTC Dev to get an unlock code, which I did, but fastboot bootloader unlock says successful and does nothing. Additionally, I am unable to flash a recovery because I am S-ON.

Help! Any way to get S-OFF trough fastboot only without a ROM installed? Any way to force flash a recovery? Any way to force flash a ROM? Any way to get RUU to not spit out error 158? HELP!!!

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
yep we will see.

I also heard of someone lucky here who had a rep from HTC helping him. That guy from HTC compiled a custom firmware package signed with HTC private key (which will allow it to be flashed with s-on and locked bootloader). Once the firmware is flashed, it will unlock the bootloader. That was the only time I heard about this kind of thing and i'm not sure its approved by HTC and will probably not happen soon again.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lamonster26:
Similar situation, but haven't gone backwards yet

I just bought a AT&T-locked HTC One M7 and mistakenly thought that rooting and s-off would unlock the SIM. I've also requested an unlock code from AT&T, but if what he's saying is true, I'm going to have to revert to a stock AT&T phone as well.

So my question is, How do I go backward without screwing up the same way? I have made some recovery backups of the original ROM but the bootloader was unlocked already. Took me a long time to figure out how to go forward in the process and I wasn't really concerned about having to re-lock anything because it's beyond the warranty period.

I'm running the following:

Bootloader unlocked

CWM Touch Recovery backups along the way

Firewater for S-Off

Venom ViperOne ROM installed

Bulletproof kernel

Firmware upgraded to 6.09.401.5

I'd really like to un-do as little of this as possible. I'm wondering what part of the modification is detected by the SIM unlock code process.

I'm kind of a noob, but this is my second Android phone that I've rooted and modded in the past couple of weeks, so I'm getting better. I'm very frustrated that unlocking the SIM is such a big deal. Any help you can offer is appreciated.
