[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 西村大一:
You can flash NZC to your maybe carrier locked S3 and it would not be a problem. I am from Romania and flashed a British firmware with no problem. No, NZC firmware does not magically unlock to a sim-free status. If the meaning of the question is that if the NZC firmware would work with 2Degrees the question is YES.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abdl:
I've had the xperia z2 phone for about 3 weeks now,and i must say its a pretty descent phone. But i cant help asking myself whats so special about this phone that i paid so much for?. Its indisputable that the z2 is a highly spec'd phone with the gorgeous screen and all,but when talking smartphone,its not all the internal specs that matters,the build quality does matter too,which IMO the z2 doesnt possess. I mean come to think of it,z2 is one of the most complained about smartphones out there,not to mention...

~The spaces found between the metal frame and the glass panel,in-which my phone also have + the back glass got replaced,making it more susceptible to water damage and what not!

~The issue of self cracking,although i understand its of minority,but com'on! Its worrying

~Overheating issues,i know this have been addressed already in several places,a phone like the z2 should be able to withstand some average period of 4k recording without overheating,not just few minutes.

~The inability for the other party to hear during calls...well,even though i was able to find a temporary solution to it by flashing a custom ROM,but do all the z2 owners with same problem have to flash custom rom as well? Also,not to talk of the absurd location of the mic.

~And Oh! Did i mention the camera? Well it has a good amount of MegaPixel but seriously,the camera software suuuuuuuuu*cks!! Most especially the superior auto mode. I find myself using the ProCapture more often now. And the other day,I and a friend of mine with an iPhone 5s snapped same photo,and he mocked me 'cos his images were better than mine.

Lastly,i know That no Smartphone is perfect,buy Sony,You could do better than this!!

Anybody on my side?:cool:
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
You cant judge an entire Brand off of one defective Unit

I have never had overheating from 4k

I never have overheating from gaming

The camera is perfectly fine, it isnt perfect in low light but not many phones can do as good as Z2

Self cracking glass? I dont understand how this posible, glass nor aluminum does not expand nor shrink enough to cause self cracking

Spaces, what spaces?

Yes on my previous defective unit had all these problems but since that defective device was replaced i have had no issues at all
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tOrNadO™:
You are too naive on this issue. Z2 isn't a bad device in any aspect. True, u have got a defective piece. But that doesnt make everyone else has. I'll answer all your questions.

1. Spaces are coz of defective units. Every manufacturers have this defective units problem when the demand for the phone is higher. You saw iPhone6(bendgate), S5(Overheating and some more), etc.

2. Self cracking? Hardly that's an issue. I haven't seen that in common. Its a rare issue which is likely to occur only [MENTION=390630]worst[/MENTION] case scenarios.

3. My Z2 only heats up when Camera/Games are running, which is normal on any phone. Need i remind u other devices are bulky and include heat sinks which reduce heating and all Xperia's are slimmer than any other brand compared and yet built tough to survive. All slim phones heat more, but in Sony i have never seen an issue caused of heating(Been using Sony mobiles since 2011).

4. About 4k recording, last time i tested 4k i was able to hit 67 mins with custom thermal settings and was using DoomKernel on 314 fw. Device was on 67 degrees max. Still nothing happened. All devices that support 4k heats n this feature can be only used for a temporary time, provided Sony gave max time of usage of 4k.

5. Call problems? Again, since u might hv had a defective unit, the speaker might be faulty or u might have done something wrong with some mods installation or something.

6. About the Camera, PLS LEARN TO USE MANUAL SETTINGS. All phones in Auto mode SUCKS BIG TIME. Even the phones with best camera's. Manual Settings gives u the best results. Ask any professional photgrapher and prove me wrong(I challenge u). BTW i have seen Z2 producing best camera results after Lumia(The one with 41mp). If u doubt me, look at this thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2673226

Tell me all those snaps by our Z2 users are LAME.. :silly:

Like Envious_Data said, u cant judge an entire brand jus coz of a defective unit. U might be a lil unlucky, but that doesnt mean SONY isn't a good brand. From my experience, Sony has been the PREMIUM device manufacturer unlike most of the brands.. I suggest u do a lot of reading and do a lot of research and experiment with ur device b4 erasing it off.. ;)
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abdl:
Let me start by saying You guys got me abit wrong. I didn't write all that based solely on my personal experience with the phone. Trust me,I've done some good research and found out that vast majority of the issues encountered with by the xz2 users revolve around all these problems. I understand my phone could be one of the defective units sold,so you saying that the thousands of users who complain about the same set of problems in different forums all bought the defective units? I dont think that would make any sense.

What if i dont wanna customize the thermal settings or play around with kernels? Does that mean i cant get same results as yours?? Besides,I(and im sure many people) wont buy a phone like this just to start tempering with stuff!!

I dont think the call problems i faced have anything to do with the mic,as ive stated,i solved the problem by simply flashing a custom rom(eXistenZ) into it. But Hey! Not everyone would want to root their phones or flash a custom rom just to fix the basic function of a phone!!

You're definitely wrong about this! Not every's phone Auto Mode sucks. Coz iPhone's Auto Mode doesnt suck as much as it does on xz2,(not comparing iOS with Android by any chance)and trust me,it produces some descent shots for the on-the-go photographer like me who wouldn't want/have to temper with manual settings,perhaps i dont know much about it:p

One thing most of you fail to realize is that an ideal smartphone should aim at satisfying both the average users and the Know-How guys like me and you:D

And Oh! Does Anybody know how i can reduce the intensity of incoming call vibration on this phone?? Its more like an earthquake:D:D:D
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lee480:
It's a little annoying you created this thread and expect people to agree points substantiated with poor arguments? So what's go great of the S5? Exploding batteries, laggy UI?! M8, the "awesome" camera???

Everyone phone has its flaws, but sadly, the those mentioned for the Z2 are mostly invalid. Overheating won't happen unless you use 4k. Dropped my phone numerous times and not a single scratch on my the glass panel. My unit screen is aligned accurately. I don't know what you're trying to get out of this thread? Or you're a keyboard warrior paid by Samsung?

And how old are you? Your post is riddled with smileys and stuff. If you find this discussion funny, please do not start this thread, you're wasting everyone's time. And your best friend mocked you because he presumed the iPhone takes better photos than the Z2 (not true)?? Such maturity.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tOrNadO™:
The thing is Sony started to manufacture phones themselves since Z2 and before that they had a client tied up manufacturing the units. Since they started their own, they had a setback, a lot of defective Z2 units and Sony did agree to replace the defective ones with a proper unit and they did(One of our RC's got his Z2 replaced like 4 times). So when u get a proper unit, u won't be seeing any of these issues. All Z2's having batch nos til 14w21 are defective in one or the other way. Some are major defective and some are minor. Batches after 14w25 are clean as a whistle, aka no defects even if u search with a magnifying glass.

I am on a non-rooted phone right now. Still 4k ran for half hour without problems. Although u don't seem to accept the fact that 4k is still kinda in the initial phase of the mobile market. Smartphones require more improvements which will come in the near future.

Call problem hasn't been a problem on any Z2 i have seen so far. 8 of my friends have bought a Z2 ever since they saw mine. None of them complained any of the issues u faced. Plus Call clarity is better than other phones that i have compared.

Android doesn't support RAW exif until Android 5.0. With Lollipop, Image processing changes drastically. But for the better of the performance. Although i disagree with u on this. I even linked u to the pictures thread, did u see it? Did u see atleast 10 pages? I was impressed by the Z2's Camera capability even with 4.4.4(KitKat). On any phone, Auto Mode isn't recommended. Manual Settings are a MUST. If u say otherwise, then the whole photography concept is WRONG. :P (Which isn't). Even average users use Manual Settings pal, no one uses Auto mode anymore unlike very few.

Again, you're able to notice issues nobody else have. Vibration intensity? Its more than normal. Its like 10% of what my Nokia 3310 caused. Now that's what u call an Earthquake, Z2 is fine. If u feel otherwise, you should consider selling it and go for other brands. That's my suggestion. But i'm pretty sure you're gonna come back to Xperia section itself. You should do more research and find facts unlike some sites only provide false stats n reviews. ;)

Totally agree with that bro [MENTION=4704767]lee480[/MENTION]

Kinda useless if you ask me, why such people open new threads like this, they can read the specs and informations on google but for some it is hard to find and it is also useless to compare different devices like Sony v.s. Samsung or any other brand with eachother, every device have his own abilities, so if some dont like the Xperia Range step then over to another one, so they dont have to bother us with they frustrations, simple as that !

Sony is just the best in my eyes and i use it for years and i see and feel the improvements what they bring to us and i dont have any complainings on that.

Sony rocks !!

I switch from nexus 5 to z2 hopin it will be on higher ends of things but it turn out to be worse tha N5. The only pro it has over N5 is the screen size and battery life. The camera on z2 is awful. I can take my N5 out and take pics with perfect clarity and brightness in dark restaurant. With my z2, it takes yellowish pictures and dark front camera. I wish I never brought it and now im stuck with it

No need to force everyone to agree with your perception. U can sell your device and get a new one, buy the iPhone if u like the features of the Apple. Its so annoying if u keep complaining and forcing people to agree with your logic. Get a life, smartphone is not everything.

Honnestly Xperias Rival Nokia in terms of camera quality

I have only seen 2 brands truly suprize me with quality and i just mentioned them

Im also dead sick of seeing all this repetitive complaining about silly thing.

If you have a defective unit, Have it replaced.

If you dont like your phone, sell it and buy another.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cryogenix:
sorry about your unit :( you should have it replaced like what others have suggested.

the z2 for me is quite the looker (even compared to z3).

- i don't have the gap issue. my build number is 14w34.

- self cracking? been using it for 3 months now, not a single crack since. (also on tempered glass back to back).

- overheating is normal. we just have to deal with it. especially with 4k and some heavy gfx games.

- mic/call issue? i don't have it

- camera software sucks? if you can flash a custom rom, then surely you might have heard of xposed? not running 20mp superior auto? i usually photograph sceneries and my experience with the z2 has never been more awesome.

*cough, shameless plug *cough : http://instagram.com/cryogenix

not to mention, manual mode is there plus the many other camera shooting modes like background defocus (which is super awesome) and the likes.

and lastly, waterproof (*resist) nuff said.

the only downer for me is that warranty doesn't cover water damage but hey, that's another issue.

my two cents worth
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ice_lander:
From june 2014 till yesterday when i got my last replacement its 4 UNITS REPLACED for one year, all these faults happend to me , first was the selfcracking backplate , then on the next unit people were unable to hear me , and it backplate opened by itself and wasnt waterproof anymore, so 2days ago got my 4th replacement...its good from one side that you buy phone and after almost year you got still new device,buuuut guys thata not acceptable after all these faults with the 'Z" anf Sony just didnt learn their lessons, same faults on the flagships each new year, dont say to me all these bull****s thats its normal,because its not normal to replace 4 units for 1 year...

Soooo can you report a thread on xda for being useless and a waste of the interwebs?

If you want to complain I suggest you should head over to the sony support forum to vent your frustration. This may have the unintended benefit of someone seeing the rant that could help.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] styxter:
I have to agree that sony z series main weakness is camera software. But did you try used other camera app? It might help you anyway, it is better to have a software deficiency rather than lack of hardware feature. From z to z2 im happy it had improved alot problem only is other oem had improved alot also. Anyway hope sony outshines this. Cause there are no drastically added features in smartphone.

Hence why these sort of threads bug me

If someone is interested in an Xperia help them, tell them the truth, but only truth can be based on solid ground

I go by rule of fiths which means you test something 5 times before you move on, i was going to buy an xperia Z if my 4th Z2 was fauly but its flawless and i can give a true opinion of this device

Totally useless and no sense for sure, there are bunch of different manufractures and every phone have his own software, take a look at (toy phone) Samsung, a ton of bugs and bloatware on an amoled screen and crappy touchwiz, man i love my Z2, light UI, Design and powerfull and a great camera, Sony doing a great job but most of the people dont see or feel that even !!

I have an XT1058 that had tons of videos and pictures. Those vidz/pix disappeared and more disappear as new ones are taken. There is probably 4-5gb of stuff missing, and 7gb free on the device. Since I can't root the device, I can't run any file recovery software locally and all of the windows-based ones require it to be mounted as a drive letter.

Anyone have any ideas?

I thought something similar happened to me but I'm not sure. I went looking for one video file I had but couldn't find it. I had no recollection of deleting it, and I was pretty sure I didn't. So I used the file search function ES File Explorer to search the file by name and it found it, but the file wouldn't open. I opened the file properties and the location was correct but everything else was N/A. So I thought OK maybe something's wonky, first step reboot phone. I did, no difference. at this point I didn't have time to investigate further on that day. Next day I did the ES search again, this time no file by that name. So i checked my other files to see if anything else was stolen, but everything else seemed fine, it was just that one video. so in my case I had no option but to close the case as accidental deletion... for now...

But in the meantime I googled the issue and found a post on another site that claimed the issue for him was his antivirus app. he removed the antivirus and things stopped disappearing. maybe you guys should look into that.

Hey guys I need help here please, My nexus 6 temperature seems weird so I need to confirm with someone has the Nexus 6

I need to test the CPU and Battery temperature in 3 cases 1-out of deep sleep 2-normal usage like surfing on chrome 3-heavy usage Antutu test can achive that

You can use CPU Temp it will give you all the readings for battery and CPU in graph if you leave it running in the background

It would be great if someone would help with this because I will to send the phone to Motorola UK next week for them to repair it if my phone temp is not normal

Thanks in advance ﻿
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
i dont even know your temp and i can tell you its normal. if it goes above 70C, cpu temp, then thermal throttle sets in. if it hits 100C, your device will automatically shut down. anything below 40C is normal when not being used. anything below 100C is normal when being used. it will all depend how hard you are pushing your cpu. the harder you push it, the higher the temps will go.

there isnt a normal temp that it should be at, when in deep sleep, when being used, and when being used hard. there are too many variables to answer that correctly. so, there is no standard temp that it should be at.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D3VI0US:
I didn't need a standard temps I'm just asking to know if my temps are normal because my phone can get really hot with really simple tasks such as surfing the internet I'm talking about 50+ for the CPU which we can say that can be normal since I live in tropical country but what is not normal is the battery temepreture which most of the time above 38 to 43 and that makes the phone hot when I'm holding it
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
50+ is normal. and your body temp is 37C, so your battery temp is not hot at all, but normal. your phone will shut down automatically if your battery temp reaches 60C(to cool off). the only way ive seen it reach that warm was with playing cpu intensive games while charging or by streaming a movie while charging.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D3VI0US:

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
samsung sets up their cpu much differently than how google does. the note 4 also has the same sized battery as the n6, but its battery lasts longer on average. google also adds in a cpu temp throttle, where samsung doesnt. and the cpu is completely different anyways.
