[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] zubeedubs:
Hi all, as a picky customer ive been following the z ultra forum as of a week now, i still havent ordered the phone yet but its the prime contender for me as the system specs are similar to the ones on my now broken LG G2 (r.i.p) it seems like a optimal replacement (and a bargain at the price it carries!!)

i have to say that ive never really had a sony handset before so im not that familiar with th UI, its perks and of course its bugs..

just needed you guys to put the final nail in the coffin on the deal for me as i find that its always best to get some info from "professional" users rather than "over the counter".

soooooo...

could you please tell me some of your praises for this device?? is the sony UI as restrictive as ive heard it to be? is the battery really that good?? decent accessories that you feel are worth getting??

cheers in advance!!!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Leechoonhwee:
Get the GPE version of the Z Ultra which I believe should be cheaper than the international version and runs stock Android.

However if you prefer to have the Sony suites of software then by all means go for the international version.

For the international version, you can flash a port of the GPE rom but you can't flash a port of stock rom onto a GPE set.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] E90 Commie:
If you want to run different ROMs - get the international version. The GPe 4.4.4 and Lollipop is already ported so they are available.

The problem with the GPe is that it uses a different partition scheme making it unable to use ROMs for the rest of the crowd (C6802/6806-nonGPe/6833). I would therefore recommend a C6806 or C6833 depending on what bands (LTE) you want and need.

Because of the superior selection of ROMs including GPe, I would simply go for a C6833 unless you are

absolutely sure

that everything else than the GPe ROM is of no interest.

With the "Sony Edition" (C6833 et al) you have great options: Sony ROMs, GPe or AOSP/CM based ones in different flavors. I think this selection is reason enough to go for the Xperia rather than the GPe.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
As they are in Italy I would not recommend the c6806 in either the Sony version or the GPe, get the c6833 (international). Sony's UI is very 'stock' android with very little bloat and packaged apps. As for battery life, expect 4 to 8 hours of screen on time depending on what you are doing. My GPe version on Lollipop has 5 days uptime, ~20% battery used and it says 13 days remaining on standby with the wifi on - no real use this week as I'm using my other phone.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] zubeedubs:
thanks to all of you for your input.. its really apreciated!!!i think i'll go for the international variant as it seems i have a bit more to play with modding wise... now all i need to do is reach payday and order it!!! :D
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] cafefun:
Just looking at your sig, I think we could be the same boat.

I had 4 years all with HTC phones ( HD2, Ruby, One) and I recently made a first move to Sony phone, this Z Ultra C6833 and have no regret, even one bit. I personally think Sony phone has great battery, very responsive touchscreen, premium quality hardware built etc...which on par with HTC at least, or better.

Sony brand is somehow underestimated on smartphone markets. I didn't think about buying one, until I had one in my hands to try, and I was sold in 3 minutes. With the heavy dropped price on this Z Ultra these days, it's a steal, you'll be more than happy.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
In Australasia, Asia and western Europe Sony has very good market penetration. Other than work phones I know more people that have an Xperia than have an ifone here in NZ
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] zubeedubs:
Here in italy its not as highly regarded as samsung or LG neither is HTC but i look at specs affidability and price over the usual consumer jargon.. im sure ill be pleased with this device!!!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] cafefun:
I agree that Sony is still a big name of the game, what I mean was Sony deserves more than that. It could be one of top 3 players. Here in Canada Sony doesn't seem to do much comparing to other brands name. I wished I'd knew how good Sony phones was sooner. It's great to know that Sony phones are doing well in other countries.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shadowcore:
I dont know if there is amazon in italy, but I bought mine for €260.- on amazon.

The alternative was the LG G2 for €300.-

If you really like to use big phones, go for it. I actually wanted a big phone and really like sony Z line design of phones, not to mention the extremely appealing price. Snapdragon 800 and a huge phone for €260? It was a no brainer for me.

Not to mention the advantage of having a GPe Version, portable lolipop roms. Just in case you miss it, this phone has an IPS display, unlike the Z and Z1 of sony.

There are complaints though, so for those, you can find enough information. Personally, I am very satisfied.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] zubeedubs:
just as an update i ordered the C6833 variant just now at 239 euro (im still rubbing my hands like monty burns!!) thanks to all for your input!!!

i'll look forward to sharing the z ultra sub section with you guys!!

:D
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] asadkhanduhh:
i enjoyed the xperia z ultra for the three months i had it.

it broke not too long ago.

i will see that the camera is horrid, and that i a now on a iphone 6 plus space gray 128gb and i do not think ill be looking back.

looking fwd to future ultra releases.

time will tell.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] E90 Commie:
I don't think I would be able to enjoy an iPhone 6 Plus in comparison with my 240 DPI phablet mode Ultra with MultiWindow and floating apps.;)

Edit: It seems like Sony start to list the Ultra as being "discontinued" so I think every interested buyer should pull the trigger soon. It gives me an indication that they finally stopped the production and that the stock isn't going to be replenished anymore.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Leechoonhwee:
And getting ready for Z4 Ultra production. Yay!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] frothe3:
I haven't seen it for sale here in the US lately, as it was on sale here for Christmas ? .

Need Advice

I have Nexus 5 as a primary one and looking at Ultra Z as my secondary phone in Inda we have a great deal which makes the phone at around 300 dollars

I want the existing users who have used it to suggest whether its worth buying or not
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] saurabh_badhwar:
A definite buy

I have recently purchased Z Ultra after having a lot of comparison with other devices and I have no regret that I have bought this device. The price was a major factor.

The screen size is something It would take time for to adjust with(First time using a phone with such a form factor, all previous devices were around 4.5 inches) :p

The phone is butter smooth and no lag at all. Battery lasts around 2-2.5 days with moderate usage(Have stamina mode ON for the full time).

I will surely recommend to get a ZU. :D
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] JackD3ath:
Just got mine

As a long time android user, recent windows phone user, I am glad I got this device. Was on winphone with tether to nexus 7, and figured I would stop messing around and start carrying a tablet (phablet) with the phone. I have always wanted a Sony device but couldnt justify the price. With an unlocked device at around $300 I figured it was a no lose situation.

I love it. The screen is magnificent. And there really isnt too much bloatware from Sony. Such great build quality so far, Ive been using it for about 3 weeks. (early Christmas present to myself)

I would say go for it.

Its great to be back to Android full time, I like MS, I really liked Nokia...but it just didnt do it for me.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] samir_a:
Thanks so that should be my next device, I have been waiting for a pass for One Plus, actualy was the very first one to get it when it was launched in India but didnt have the money to buy it now I tired waiting endlessly for it and have decided to go for ZU
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] rowihel2012:
Wait until sony announce the Z4 ultra soon

Leaks roumers sayes it should be epic
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] JackD3ath:
I think price was a consideration...Z4 Ultra will probably cost serious coin...

bought a nook hd plus off cl it was already rooted.

wiped the blasted thing now im booting into cwm on every start.

had a copy of cm11 ovation on the sd card but chrome corrupted it without me knowing.

cant install new rom from internal either.

adb isnt my specialty but ill gladly reward whom can help me with a sandisk 64 gb micro sd card class 10 for the trouble

pm me we can use teamviewer to get everything set up to sideload a rom

thanks:crying:
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
You are going to have difficulty using that 64GB SD to boot a ROM from. All of the bootable CWM SDs require a fat32 format before they will boot and you cannot format the 64GB fat32. I suggest you get a smaller SD the follow the dummies guide linked in my signature to set up CM.

THANKS

thanks for the info ill let you know how it works out
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] humdrum2009:

it worked but i had to write the image with win32 first

pm me your address ill send out the sandisk 64 gb micro sd card class 10

you pointed me in the right direction:good:
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digixmax:
No need to get a smaller SD, the 64GB SD can host a FAT32 partition by either:

use a partition tool (e.g., MiniTool Partition Wizard) to create a partition smaller than 32GB and format it as FAT32; or,

format the entire card as one FAT32 partition using the 3rd-party utility fat32format available at http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?fat32format.htm.

Hey guys,

Last week I buy an 1500 mAH Battery (CS) for my Herald.

Included today I worked 5 days with my Herald (WLAN , Phone, SMS, Calender..) and I have 28% Energy

Good Performance....

Whats your experience with the 1130mAH Battery? Do you have other Battery tested (bigger than 1500?)

Thanks Oliver

[Wing, P4350 Accessories] Viper®:
No, you won't lose data

And this is not due to the pda, this was a 'feature' from WM2003

WM5 and WM6 both have the data/settings stored on a rom chip which doesn't lose its data when you soft-reset.

why is that guy getting 5 days of charge?
[Wing, P4350 Accessories] babicka:
Bought one too

After reading the first very positive post about the 1500mAh battery, I've got one myself too. Unfortunately I am quite disappointed. The life seem to be the same or even worse than the original battery to me :(

Just GSM eats about 3-4%/8h but when I turn the device on I can see the percents going down anxiously fast even with the backlight on the first level :(
[Wing, P4350 Accessories] SuperRob:
Got the 1500mAh battery this past Friday. So far, looks like I'm getting at least two days, maybe a little more between charges. Pretty much what I'd expect given the modest increase in amperage. Overall, I'm pleased given that it only cost about $30.
[Wing, P4350 Accessories] fairchild68:
Hi there, I'm using the 1500 battery since monday and can't say that I see any difference to the standard 1150- no breakthrough and I don't see how to get over two days with normal use :(

I usually pay no attention to the "People you may know" section of Facebook. Today, I looked through some of them and noticed a few of my recent customers, who I have no possible connection to, outside of selling them a car, on the list. No mutual friends, no stored contact information. I suppose I should check the permissions of Facebook, as I'm sure it has to do with recent calls. Is there a way to keep this from happening? I don't want all my customers trying to add me because I keep popping up as someone they may know.

anyone have this happen? how do i make it stop?

thanks. :-\
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amk19:
I don't the solution for this. As I have never heard of such issues.

But you can try this.

Clear the Music player data from Application Manager.

Go to: Setting--> General--> Application Manager--> All

Look for Music, MusicFX and clear it's data.

Even after trying this it didn't work. Then hard reset might be required.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ms.O:
well....it just did it again! i'm trying to figure out if it's related to any other apps. i have a call blocking app that just "contained" a spam call at the same time; however, it didn't do that yesterday, when the music player went off....

i guess i'll have to watch to see what other apps are active when this happens.....

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ms.O:
i did an online chat with samsung, and "force stopped" my music player (which he said is like disabling it). then i made another app my default music player, so hopefuly that will take care of it. :)

if not, "i'll be bock..." (<---arnold)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amk19:
[MENTION=2496236]Ms.O[/MENTION]

Okay.

Even if you force stop it but once you click on Music player then it will start.

Since Music player can never be disabled. (Unless you are rooted)

I guess any third party app is causing that issue.

You can use Built in blocking mode provided by Samsung.

Thanks. :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ms.O:
yes, i noticed that! but i've now made another music app the default for music files, so i'm hoping (fingers crossed) that does the trick. since it's so random, i won't know for sure unless it happens again!

blocking mode on my phone only blocks selectively for notifications, calls, alarms, timer and the LED indicator. there is no option to block only music. and i want to be able to listen to music when i want, just not at random times when the phone decides to play it!

thanks tho....
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gschot:
Maybe you have some audio bluetooth device that connects? When I get into my car and my phone connects with bluetooth audio, the music player also launches and starts to play. You could check your bluetooth pairings to see if it has an audio device. If it does, umpair it and see if it still happens!

Just a thought..
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Some_dude36:
Ok , step by step of what I did and where Im at now .

I got the Note 4 today . Played with stock firmware for a moment ( last running firmware was Anj7 baseband stock unrooted ) . Booted into download mode rooted with ch-root and checked nand erase all in Odin . I believe it erased the stock rom . Binary was changed to custom confirmed in download mode screen .

Then Flashed TWRP .

boot into TWRP when I try to wipe it says

cant mount /data cant mount anything basically and wipe fails because nothing will mount.

I try to install FireKat v5 rom and it says successful despite TWRP wont mount anything( is v5 anj? . Do I need to flash stock rooted before I can flash any other rom ? )

Reboot after install and it goes into a boot loop after boot screen transitions into boot animation .

So at this point I have no bootable rom . It doesnt appear anything will mount in TWRP for some reason .

And Im considering flashing sammo official ANJ rom to atleast get a working phone but I dont know what changes the bootloader version be it ch root or flashing a rom . And right now Im scared if the bootloader has changed and I try to revert to an older bootloader with the sammo official anj rom it could hard brick .

Im gonna need some serious advanced help here. I never done nothing like this mess before :eek:
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T LEONARDIS:
Let me try my noob expertise out lol...from what I know the only way to hardbrick is by using the wrong modem on your variant. So I think you have nothing to worry about. What you have is soft brick.

Download from sam mobile nj7 or nk4 firmware and reflash via odin. Hope this helps.

NOTE 12-10+2 ?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Some_dude36:
Ok im downloading nj7 right now . I think the problem I did was erasing nand when I did first root and it caused no partitions to be set.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android_Monsters:
Just flash stock rom with Odin and start over. Don't do the crazy erasing step next time. These phones are hard to brick. I've honestly never seen one I couldn't fix.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tw1sted247:
Yes, in Odin you shouldn't be clicking anything other then the pda box to put the proper tar in. Which of you download the cf auto root zip. Then make a new folder on your desktop. Open the downloaded cf auto root zip. Then highlight and drag n drop all files/contents of your Cf auto root zip into the newly created folder on your desktop. From the newly loaded folder right click on Odin run as administrator. Once in there put your phone into download mode and hook it up via USB to your pc a blue box with the word Com and a number will pop up in the upper left. The number doesn't matter as long as it says Com and a number, this is odin's way of showing it recognizes your device. . Hit the pda tab it'll bring you to that folder with only one file showing. Double check it's named Tmo to insure you downloaded the correct one. Select it. Odin will automatically fill in the proper boxes.

Hit run and it should knock it out fairly quick.
