[Xperia Z1 General] :
I don't really mind actually. Fingerprint scanner is just another useless feature (imo) because I don't think I will ever use it. No QHD display means better battery life plus we don't need QHD on a small display. I really like the design of the Z3, which is a phone I don't have. So upgrading from the Z1 to the Z4 would be a big jump. 3GB of ram is sufficient though 4GB would be nice. Heard that Sony is completely redesigning their UI. We'll see about that. Smaller battery? Well the Z3 has a beast of a battery life. Z3 has 3100mAh whilst the Z4 has a 2930mAh. A small drop but I'm sure Sony's famous Stamina Mode would really help the battery life.

Sure the upgrade isn't a big jump. The CPU is a bit disappointing. Snapdragon 810 is quite infamous already. But all in all, Sony just started back to their 1 flagship per year cycle. I'd say this a decent start. Just keep their flagship up to date while (hopefully) making the Z5 a HUGE improvement. I will definitely upgrade to the Z4. I won't buy the S6 or its Edge variant. Why? It's too expensive, even with contract. Seriously. It sure is nice but I spent $100+ for a 128gb microSD card. It'd be a waste if I moved over to Samsung considering, again, the 128gb variant of the S6/S6 Edge is damn expensive.

For other device, HTC One M9 is a big no no. Seriously. I dislike its design, the display is definitely off and bloody hell the camera is ugly. The Boomsound speaker is nice, would love to have it but it's not enough for me to go for the M9. LG G4? Nah. It probably has a QHD display like the G3. I don't need that and frankly it's a waste of battery life. Plus the leather design isn't my style.

I prefer Sony since the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini Pro to the Xperia Arc S, to the Xperia V and now to the Z1 because of how beautiful and simple the design is. It is not flooded with features that are junk (again, in my opinion) and the fact that they support developers is nice. Plus I am already used to how we flash firmwares, roms, kernels, mods and other stuff on Sony devices. They are very, very easy. I will upgrade to the Z4. Been waiting for it since the time I can upgrade (last year, December).

tl;dr: I just can't go to other brands. They have designs and "features" that I dislike.
[Xperia Z1 General] NexusGTS:
that is only for japan . Sony will announce a flagship in the end om May . The z4 is the last phone from the z line from sony .
[Xperia Z1 General] cingolat:
mmmmmmm I will never buy a phone without sdcard slot......for me sdcard is mandatory, so no samsung and no htc anymore........let's wait, for now is only for japan, maybe for other country we can hope to have a 4gb ram this is the only lack for me........and a newer skin maybe.........and a bigger battery or same battery but in a compact version.......I have z1 but I would have bought a z1c, I have a really big hand but in my pocket it will fit better a z4c......let's wait and hope......

[Xperia Z1 General] KWOKSFUNG:
Said thousands of times that i hate them making phones with no real new features and even no new design

If u ask me what me what do I want, I would just say i couldnt think of many but if they cant think of it either then no need to make a meaningless new phone.

I wont expect Z5 either, start getting hopeless on sony

Honestly, your only gain for moving to Z4 seems to be the dual speaker
[Xperia Z1 General] mikailmohammed:
Well i am on Z1 as well. I Don't like how there is not much compared to the Z3 but it will be an upgrade for me. Slimmer bezels, lighter, bigger display, more ram. What i am scared of and will be waiting on multiple reviews from people themselves is the processor. I know they say it gets really hot and we already had heating issues with z1 and 2. I hope they know what they are doing.
[Xperia Z1 General] :
That's not the only gain. Better display, and camera. It is lighter and thinner. Better battery life (hopefully). More Ram for my multitasking needs. Flapless microUSB port yet still waterproof. I already like my Z1 just as it is. All these improvements are considered a big upgrade for me since it improves on what I already like. Like I said, I don't need the other features that I think are useless.

I've never seen anyone complain about the lack of features on the Z2. People still upgraded to it. Now since the Z4 is still a better device than the Z2, why not just upgrade from my Z1? I can upgrade my phone once a year so if I don't like it, I can just wait for another year.
[Xperia Z1 General] ckai:
They needed to change the design. Note hugely, just a little. When I saw some leaks I was disappointed. Then there were rumours that it was actually the Neo...thank god. Then they release it officially. Bugger!

This would have been cool...

[IMG="Z4 concept"]http://i-cdn.phonearena.com/images/articles/176025-image/Xperia-Z4-with-curved-screen.jpg[/IMG]

Can't think of what it reminds me of though... ;)
[Xperia Z1 General] KWOKSFUNG:
Is it just me they look like portable charger XD
[Xperia Z1 General] Denonite:
Have a Z1 and looks like I'll move away. Can't see any real upgrade on the Z1 and one feature I really liked on the Z1 is the side charging connector. I've a Brodit car cradle and I just drop the phone into the cradle and it charges while I drive, no cables to plug in. They've removed this with adding QI or any other wireless charging.

Sorry Sony, looks like M9 or G4 will be my next upgrade (want card slot as I have a 128GB SD card full of FLACC files so Samsung is out)
[Xperia Z1 General] :
Question. Why the M9? Doesn't the Z4 have about the same specifications as the M9?
[Xperia Z1 General] Denonite:
Yes there very close, I feel HTC might be in the market longer than Sony (did not think I would ever say that). Nothing is sacred at Sony and its looking increasingly like Xperia may die especially if they can't put any real effort into new flagship products, makes me think the long term investment is not there.
[Xperia Z1 General] t1mman:
I can't tell for sure, but I'm pretty confident that Sony's Flagship will sports a better camera, a snapier OS and an overall beter device than HTC.

THe Z4 will also be thinner and have an IP68 ratting, which is a big advantage over the competition. Those two factors alone will favor (most likely) the Z4 above everything else.

And for those complaining about bezel size, it still have a bigger screen to body ratio than almost everything else. Even the S6 (not the Edge tough)

Now, I'm not saying I would upgrade if I had a Z3, and even with a Z2 you might be tempted to wait for the next, but for the Z1, you get a decent upgrade in both the size and the features.

BTW: This is only an opinion, you don't have to share it!
[Xperia Z1 General] KWOKSFUNG:
Coz sony is boring us down. Only big change from Z1 to Z4 seems only the dual speaker, the rest are either marginal improvement or can be achieved through software.

HTC may not be much better but at least they dont release a similar phone every 6 month. There are more obvious improvement over generation. Also the speaker will be obviously better coz they dont have to make it water proof.

U know Z series being waterproof actually nerf the speaker a lot....

And moving sony to another brand is really much interesting.
[Xperia Z1 General] JuicyBrah:
My ideal z4 would be this:

Less top and bottom bezels

metal back-plate, not slippery/fragile glass

at least 3200 mAh battery

An updated camera and stuff would be icing on the cake but even if everything else stayed exactly the same and they made those 3 changes, I would buy it in a heartbeat.
[Xperia Z1 General] :
You do realise that Sony has dropped making flagship devices every 6 months right? It should be a year for the next Xperia Z5. No one complain when the Z2 gets released. Don't know why they would complain when the Z4 gets released. This is specifically for Z1 users. Many Z1 users upgraded to the Z2 without complaining. They should upgrade to the Z4 without complaining too.

What I think Sony is doing is to release the Z4 to keep the series updated for this year. Then wait another year for a major improvement for the next device. Either that or the Z4 is only fot Japan while the next flagship that's gonna be release (probably on September) will be an international release
[Xperia Z1 General] KWOKSFUNG:
For me I'm actually not happy when the Z2 is released. But for that time it's the first time they make marginal improvement phone so most of us can tolerate it. Then Z3 and Z4..... Third time now.

The problem is that they cant make big changes that make me feel that "Ar... my Z1 really cant follow up now coz it's really too weak the new one is really much much better"

Also same look over generations. Since Z3 there have been rumour that there will be new design but come out still the same. That's another problem.

Ok maybe for a year now. But still similar spec even after a year really isnt cool.
[Xperia Z1 General] :
Well they were forced to use the 810. I don't think that there are other newer CPUs like the 810. Also I'm speaking as a Z1 user planning to upgrade. Since the Z2,3 and 4 are similar like what people said, why not just get the Z4 (if you have enough money and want to stick with Sony). Futureproof yourself.
[Xperia Z1 General] KWOKSFUNG:
Then maybe rather Z3 than Z4....

In HK, the price for Z3 is like 3500HKD now (U singaporean? 608.25 SGD for your reference)

The Z4 gonna be much more expensive. And u know s810 is immature technology that may result in overheat and battery drain.

Maybe except the cpu tech will keep move on, smart phone technologies have reached a saturated level that maybe a bit hard for further development. Remember those days from 2010 to 2013, every year there will be real big legendary changes. Unlike since 2013 s800 devices onwards, I'm never really surprised (at least from sony)

Even hard for further bump, maybe sony should start making new phones with new name and new design rather than the new Z and old Z label system. Or maybe release a device not by counting months, but until they make some thing that really worth to be called a new one for the Z.
[Xperia Z1 General] :
I can afford the Z4 since it's cheaper when buying from my carrier. Though I agree with what you said about the S810, I'm still upgrading to the Z4 for futureproofing sake. I dislike other the other flagship devices.

Edit: Before you think I'm a Sony fanboy, I'm not. I want the S6 Edge but I can't just throw away my 128gb microSD card. Plus the phone is really expensive even when in contract. The HTC One M9 is basically on the same standard as the Z4 but it has a horrible camera and display. That's a no no for me. I thought about going for the LG G4, thinking it would be a nice upgrade. Until it got revealed. Damn the leather back looks ugly (imo). I'm only left with Sony and even though it's a small upgrade from my Z1, it still looks like a decent upgrade.
[Xperia Z1 General] t1mman:
I'm in the same boat as you... I have an upgrade available from my carier and, even thought it's not a massive upgrade, the Z4 gives a couples of interesting new features compared to the Z1.

I tried the S6 yesterday and it's realy too much "samsung" flavored for the GUI for me to enjoy. And the lack of SD Card is a big no for me, as well as the IP rating. But the format (thinckness, size) is pretty good. I didn't feel impress by the QHD so it's not realy a big point for me. It could be nice to have QHD with the Int. Z4, but if it doesn't, I'll still get it instead of the competition.

As for the LG G4, still nothing but rumors until the announcment, so I can't realy tell if it'll be in the "race"

Bargain alert - Halfords are doing the Herbert Richter vent holder for £4.99

It's the same holder as supplied with the orbit only with a vent fixing insead of the flexible arm and w/screen sucker

So it's good quality and is MUCH better being fixed to the vent in my opinion. Never any vibration and looks neater
[P3300, MDA Compact III  Accessories] hollinshead:

Hi guys I am using N910C and we all know that when connected to LTE, the data icon at the top will show 4G.

Today I was having battery drain and I went to recovery and cleared cache partition. When I rebooted the phone, I now have the LTE icon!

I am running stock NOT rooted BOC3 TTT csc (Trinidad and Tobago)

I will post a pic later when I am on a pc

Edit:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] LTE-X:
I am still seeing 4G icon instead of the LTE icon you're seeing, but cool finding!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] xdm9mm:
Did you clear your "cache partition" in recovery?

Also I mentioned I was using BOC3 TTT rom... it could be the rom too.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] LTE-X:
Yes I did, but it's still 4G. It must be the ROM that you've stated.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jayesh:
That's a odd thing to find, but cool i guess. Does it really make a difference. Afaik they amount to the same thing, considering everything said and done ( no real variance in speed, but just the format its displayed in)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] .IC3M4N.:
The point is: I have Vodafone in my country and since kit kat on my n910c I have the LTE icon. When using an Orange sim I get the 4G icon...so at least in my case everything is carrier dependant...I don't know...maybe your carrier just changed something and rebooting the phone implemented the changes. Cheers :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Ueihtam:
I'd say rom dependant or at least csc dependant, with XOE lollipop rom i have LTE icon and with XEH lollipop i have 4G icon.

Hi All,

I've recently bought a H60-L02 terminal. But I'm having some problems, since the antivirus application is detecting a virus in the twitter application which comes preinstalled and cannot be uninstalled.

The app cannot be updated from Play Store, since there is an error about the provider authority already exists....

The exact version which is coming with the phone is:

H60-L02V100R001CHNC00B1116SP02 (with EMUI 2.3)

Has anyone faced this problem? Should I try to root the phone and eliminate the app, or should it be better just to upgrade the ROM to a newer one?

I have only recently started developing apps for android. I remember playing snake a lot when I was younger on the nokia :P

So I decided to make one of my own too.

Most of the snake games that are available had a grid layout so I created something of a more fluid one.

You can swipe across the screen to control.

The aim is to eat the brown round circular food which gives you one point for each.

There are 2 game modes:

Classic mode - Where the game goes on and on till you don't hit the edges or yourself and the game ends

Time mode - Where every food you eat gives you a couple of seconds and you continue playing

There are 3 difficulties:

Beginner - slow speed

Normal - normal speed

Expert - fast speed

Hope everyone likes it!

Hi All

I have an ex T-Mobile HTC HD2 running windows 6.5 and connected to O2.

Mostly everything works fine except . . . . .

When I try to download an MMS message the phone tries to use the T-Mobile network and as this is not set up, it doesn;t work.

It tries to use t-Mobile even when connected to wifi

I have tried getting onto the network manager but all the T-Mobile settings are greyed out. and there is no option to delete the entry (edit, press and hold gives no options).

Network manager is set to use O2 (Connect to internet and Private network)

So, please, how do I get rig of T-Mobile and default to O2.

I presume it some registry hack?

Try downloading & install this connection settings tool by HTC >

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=565785&d=1302516709

Once installed it will have a shortcut link in Settings, Connections, Connection Setup

Run it & choose country 'UK' & network provider 'O2' *be sure choose postpay or prepay*

It should load all setting including MMS.

If have issues post back for more help.

Another good option would be debranding your HD2 with either standard generic HTC ROM or Custom ROM such as Energy, links can be found in HD2 Wiki > http://xdaforums.com/wiki/HTC_HD2#ROM_Development

Sadly not a huge success. cab downloaded and installed.

Run, reset, set up connection, reset etc

Eventually Settings, Connections, Connection Setup select O2 postpay and another restart just in case

Then

Wireless Controls, Data Connection, but it wont conect. (Slider wont go green)

Wifi Conection greyed out.

Total mess.

Back to Conection Setup and check but its set to UK, O2 postpay

I have Data Controller installed but that allows all O2 (MMS postpay and mobile web)

At least I could access the www before :(

How do I get out of this mess

I would try removing data controller as that has some known issues of messing up the connection settings in registry.

I use GB-SOFT GPRS UMTS tweak which auto disconnects gprs when not used (set time to zero).

So in review >

remove Data controller & soft reset

Go into Settings>Connections>Connections>select 'manage existing connections' & delete any settings remaining

re-run Connection Setup & see if works !

I've never had trouble on provider roms such as T-Mobile so assume will be messy registry problem.

If no joy, post again & I will try dig up a guide & settings for O2 for manually trying input GPRS & MMS.

Good fix would be Custom WM6.5.5 such as one in my signature.

hhhmmm struggling. I can find no sensible way of uninstalling the Data controller. There is no entry on the list of programs to uninstall and I cant identify a directory.

There is a shortcut that points to \Windows\DataController.exe but is removing the program enough?

Good news is that I can Wireless stuff now works (My fault, I had forgotten they dont work when usb is connected to PC) So the only problem is MMS. Mor efiddling around, reran the HTC thing. Deleted an old connection and reboote a couple of times and eventually it worked.

And they call this a science!!

Thanks for you help
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mister B:
^ So is MMS now working !

If not I will post a manual MMS settings guide I have for WM6.5 somewhere.

Just removing the datacontroller.exe wouldn't be enough really, what really wanted is registry for it removed.

From your comments sounds like was mainly dirty connection settings in registry.

Data & MMS connections can be bit of a pain in WM6.5 but once learned manually or if the htc connections settings tool works perfectly they are better than android or iphone for flexibility & control.

Hello guys! I am christian Abaidoo from Ghana. I use a motorola atrix hd (at&t, jelly bean). Few months ago, my phone was working perfectly until one day I mistakenly selected USA band and lost my network. I then flashed it with cyanogenmod 10.1.3. it was working perfectly but I was only able to access 2g network. Whiles using the cyanogenMod, i searched and searched on the internet for the stock rom for my phone until i found it. I then flashed my phone back to stock rom. Everything is perfect except the fact that i still can only get 2g network. Instead of showing the 4g signal on the status bar as a Motorola Atrix HD phone should so, the 'E' signal rather shows. I cant access phone information using *#*#4636#*#* so I use LTE Settings.apk When I set my phone to 3g, my network cuts off completely and says 'No service'. I thought when i flashed back to stock, i should have everything intact but its not so. I still cant get 3g, I can only get 2g. Guys please i need your help,. 2g is very frustrating.
