My bad, I should have made myself more clear:- my point about the case was simply for the "slippery" feel of the glass and aluminium body. In terms of camera, simple solution is use Google's Camera and/or use Perfectly Clear to fix any noise in the pictures. The WiFi signal is fine on mine and never had any issues but can be boosted with root or an app called WiFi Optimizer I think. As [MENTION=3465128]abhinav.tella[/MENTION] said, it might just be a bad unit.
[Xperia Z3 General] mazroui:
atleast hold on to it incase u hate the g3 for whatever reason?

I jumped from a g2 to the z3 since it was the latest in the market... Took a long while for root but it finally got there.. I'm really hating the factory rom and still waiting on cm/aosp to be available as a bug free alternative..

I dunno how Sony likes having all those variants of the z3.. And the only one we have here is the dual sim version which really lacks behind in development since it's not the international version used everywhere...

Anyways from my experience with lg I'm most probably getting a g4 as soon as it's available (which should be sometime around Q3)

For the meantime I'll keep quiet and use the z3 all thanks to its 3100 mAh of power
[Xperia Z3 General] se1000:
I agree with you, I was being very sarcastic in my previous post
[Xperia Z3 General] rjhellel:
Oh right :)
[Xperia Z3 General] bluesky2111:
Thanks guys for your honest opinions. I admit most of them were my faults. I think I'm gonna keep the Z3 to test it for some time before making a decision. But the SOT was really a rip off for such a hype on the Z3. I know the G3 has much less SOT for sure, that's a fact, but 5 hours on Z3 was just ridiculous. Everybody got at least 6 hours, but mine barely (or never) reached that level.
[Xperia Z3 General] se1000:
So, in your screenshot the Z3 was at 22hrs and it still had plenty of juice left? Are you not getting through a day? What exactly are you looking for with 8hrs of SOT if at the end of the day you have battery left over and will plug the phone in?

There are a lot of factors that play into battery life, two big ones are power hungry apps, and signal strength.
[Xperia Z3 General] funky0308:
I was always using Xperias, I even learned how to theme and dev on it...

But then I decided I had enough of Sony and solde my few months old Z2 to buy Note 4...

Believe me mate...grass isn't greener at neighbour yard...it's a same grass with a same bugs ;)

You'll have exactly the same issues, questions and doubts with any brand.
[Xperia Z3 General] herzzreh:
I do have to say that while the phone works pretty well, it is uncomfortable to hold and the glass on the back pisses me off more and more every day. I still like the phone though.
[Xperia Z3 General] Aoi_sora9x:
One thing that I do agree with OP is that if you are not used to the flat back glass construction, then you are just not used to it. I have been using a lot of Sony phones, so the flat back doesn't really piss me off. Instead of "palming" the back, I "grip" it with my index finger and my ring finger, which makes it very normal to hold.

Users who are more used to the curved back of the g3, motox and motog will feel that the flat back is not as ergonomic, and they are not wrong. The G3 feels more comfortable in the hand than the Z3, but it's not like the Z3 is a massive spike ball that you can't hold it for even 5 minutes.

Regarding the battery life, yeah, if you are not satisfied with the Z3 battery, then you are not going to be satisfied with the G3 battery. This is not an opinion, it's a FACT. G3 has a higher pixel count for its screen with a smaller battery. using LTE on it and it will die within 8-10 hours of heavy usage.

I can offer you some advice for your Z3 if you want to improve the battery life:

1. If you are not in a LTE plan, then use 3G only, that will help the battery by a ton.

2. Some small games (Free games) are quite suspicious, as they use location data all the time when possible. I was surprised when a prolific game such as Ridiculous Fishing was using the location service on my z3 and used up a lot of battery during idle periods. Uninstalling it helped to increase the battery by a few hours.

3. Google Now - this son of a ***** is a big battery killer. Turns it off if you don't use it.

4. Location services - this son of a ***** too.
[Xperia Z3 General] rspy:
The lag on the LG G3 is mind blowing! Besides.. All the apps look like a cheap and crappy version of Sony app, especially the G3 album app haha , and that back power off/on button? God. Lol.. But yes, is a sexy phone.. Good luck ;)
[Xperia Z3 General] Awestrike:
I did the opposite. I got a G3 around December last year and while I think it's a great-looking phone (screen-to-footprint ratio, ergonomics, etc.), its performance was a gigantic letdown. Games that I had running fine on a 2-year old N7100, brought the G3 to its knees. I'm sure the qHD panel had quite a lot to do with the issue and I still feel that the G3 would have come a lot closer to the device it was meant to be had they settled for FHD. Even with the excessive throttling LG built into it to support the G3's qHD resolution, that thing still overheats in a ridiculously short amount of time.

In terms of build quality, I did have some gripes with my Z3's (the gap between the aluminum frame and panel), but I forewent getting it exchanged because I was worried about getting something worse. Apart from that, however, everything physical about Z3 was fine with me. I had trouble adjusting to the thing's shape but I expected that I would. I've used several brands of devices over the years and Sony's stock firmware is the first I haven't felt I needed to change (Technically, it was the SHIELD Tablet's but I don't think that counts since it's practically stock Android).

Honestly, because of my preference for on-screen navigation, my only real choices are LG and Sony and, of the two, I would come down on Sony's side of the fence any day. The G3 didn't come even remotely close to being the device I expected until I switched to CM12 (though I'm sure there would have been similar improvements with other AOSP ROMS), while with the Z3, it just felt like I was trying to improve something that was already working.

Oh, and SOT? I've gotten over 5 hours just reading manga, at around 40% brightness, and that was towards the end of a full day. When I play games non-stop, I get around 4. If you really want to try the G3 out then by all means, go ahead. But I would definitely advise against getting rid of the Z3 until you're 100% certain you want to keep the LG.
[Xperia Z3 General] Turb0wned:
Wait wait wait... He's complaint about battery life on the Z3, yet is switching to the G3? Lol. G3 was getting me 3.5 hours of on screen time MAX, even with greenify.
[Xperia Z3 General] bluesky2111:
Thank you!!! I wanted to quote all of you guys but I was too tired, so I just clicked thanks instead. Those suggestions are really precious and useful for me. I will definitely give thre Z3 and G3 more time to test, hopefully I get my own answer, but from what you guys have told me, the Z3 may be the one I will keep.
[Xperia Z3 General] bluesky2111:
After L update I dont think the lags should happen, of course it's not at the Z3's smoothness but it's definitely not that bad. About the apps on G3, yes it does look cheap compared to Sony's, but have you tried LG features in the settings? I think those definitely beat Sony features.
[Xperia Z3 General] bluesky2111:
You did not get what I said. Would you go for a phone with a defective battery (for full price $599) that did not live up to the hype, or the phone with even worse battery life than that but it's what it is?
[Xperia Z3 General] bluesky2111:
Thank you for the tips! really helpful. I've already tried 2 of them though, the other two I didn't. But i will
[Xperia Z3 General] bluesky2111:
Appreciate that. Your story was awesome though. Glad your Z3 was not defective (or has bad stuff) like mine :)
[Xperia Z3 General] churchrickshaw:
[MENTION=6131923]bluesky2111[/MENTION] I also did the same move, I didn't quite realize how great these Sony phones were until my friend had showed me some specs and how the phone performed.

The G3 was a good phone in a sense that the screen was big, big battery, good camera and the design was pretty.

However, the colours were washed out on stock LG ROM, it was only with AOSP and custom KCAL kernels that I was able to tweak it to get better colours.

While having a 3100mah battery, it was only slightly better than my Nexus 5 and half of my OPO. With heavily tweaked kernels and ROMS, I was lucky to get about 4hr SOT on the G3. The camera gets borked once you move on to AOSP to "fix" other issues. LG ROM also has lag. The specs just don't reflect the performance.

Although the design was unique and the phone was nice to hold; the plastic structure of the phone just creaks. You squeeze the phone a certain way, or if you hold it another, you can hear it creaking and squeaking.

If you plan on staying with LG ROM (if or when you get the G3), you'd be looking into getting a debloated ROM, hopefully a tweaked kernel with KCAL support, Greenify (Xposed still in alpha for LP), lots of tweaks to help with battery and you'll probably be looking into audio MODS to get the speakers working the way you want as well.

Like [MENTION=4274973]Awestrike[/MENTION] mentioned, Sony's version of Android (especially 5.02) has been the closest to stock Android. I don't feel the need to flash a ROM, remove or fix things that I don't like.

BTW, without much effort or giving notice to how I use the Z3, I've been getting around 6.5hr SOT everyday.
[Xperia Z3 General] keejoonc:
I recently bought LG G3 (3gb version) for my gf and I got Sony Z3 for myself. Gf was using Moto G (Gen 1) and I was using N4.

I think they are both great phones, but as others have said Z3 can't be beaten on battery life and fluid UI.

I also found LG G3's camera app to be too simple. It doesn't even look like you can adjust the exposure of the camera?? It could just be me not finding where to change it though.
[Xperia Z3 General] mingkee:
I am using G3 and I generally like it.

However, I'd like to switch to Z3 for band 12 support, but there's ONE ultimate thing stops me:

NO ROOT

I need root to fix write to SD problem.

[Xperia Z3 General] slonn:
Why are you not able to root it? It's a simple process.
[Xperia Z3 General] xmen06:
G3 hâve some quality like screen with bordless , camera with quick autofocus. But i hâve to sell it because of 2 default : the battery drain when i use the phone i must charge it twice a day and the lag on homescreen when you switch homescreen only. This is my 2 cents

Thanks for the direction. If I use your toolkit, does it contain everything needed ? Can I disregard the other programs/files I dl'd in previous unlocking attempts - for example :adb tools treiber, Android Studio, etc.

I gave it a quick test, but my device never appears. This is what I see :

Your device is:

If this is incorrect please exit this program

The phone is in fastboot mode, USB debugging on. I previously installed the ADB drivers w/i the toolkit. Do I also need to run (m)fastboot, as well ?

You need the unlock code from the Motorola site. You'll be better off replying in that thread for the toolkit.

i hope someone can help me
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Can't be certain from your post, but it sounds like you are not on AT&T's network, and possibly not even in the US.

You need to be on AT&T's network to get OTA update for the AT&T M8. This isn't true for most other versions of the M8, AT&T is fairly unique in this regard.

You can download the RUU to a PC, and update with your phone connected: http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_M8_UL_K444_SENSE60_ATT_MR_Cingular_US_3.42.502.1_Radio_4.0.U606061@41216A_40.34.C35006.02_F_release_407726_signed_2.exe

Bear in mind, that updating to Android 4.4.4 will break sunshine s-off. You will not be able to s-off unless sunshine is updated to include a new exploit. So if you want s-off, its highly recommended to use sunshine (the only method at this time)

before

updating to 4.4.4.

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Yes you will. But you need to s-off and change CID/MID in order to do a "full conversion" (stock firmware, stock ROM, stock recovery, etc.).

No, updating firmware, ROM flashing, etc. will not SIM lock the phone. The only way that will happen is if you lock it yourself.

---------- Post added at 10:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:16 AM ----------

Hold on, I'm just reading that sunshine now supports 4.4.4 and 5.0! This is a very recent change:

http://theroot.ninja/download.html

But if you decide you want s-off, anyway; I'd still recommend you do it while still on a lower hboot number (before updating) just to be safe.
