Just sold all my XZPs in preparation for the XZ2, woop.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] brockyneo:
Sold my xzp for the xz2 just received it today I've been worried about loosing 4k though lol
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] Zazzinho:
First impressions?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] brockyneo:
It's nice I don't know why people are making a big deal over the design because I personally think it's great

Battery life seems good camera seems better speakers are better the dynamic vibration is a bit meh if you ask me but that is just my opinion wireless charging finally bigger display

Honestly over my xzp everything is an upgrade apart from the resolution of the display which to be honest again unless I'm pixel peeping I cannot see too much difference which leaves the question is 4k on a small display actually overkill?

Oh and no headphone jack doesn't bother me either I just attach the dingle to my headphones and leave it there problem solved :cool:

Lies! I don't know about VoLTE because I've been running AOSP since day one, but I also live in SD and travel the county. No issues with Sony on TMo.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] hnt20:
Let me know once you learn anything about VOLTE. That does not change the fact Sony does not support Tmo VOLTE
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] dachao:
It is too early to say if XZ2 will support VoLTE on Tmobile. I was told it was going to be certified but we will know more in a few weeks.

I got mine a few days ago went with the Deep Green Overall i think its a great phone

Ive had these Phones Recently

S9+

Razer Phone

and the Pixel 2 XL

Overall Camera is Good Way better than Razer phone but Pixel 2 XL beats it then S9+

Speakers Razer Phone Destroys Everything Sony is about even with Samsung and Google but Atmos was a missed Opportunity

Display Honestly I love the display On the Sony more than all of them Best Display imo

Battery life Razer Then Sony then Samsung last Pixel (I watch videos and listen to music alot)

Device Feel is very nice heavy but nice

No headphone not a big issue imo Wireless Headphones are getting better all the time ditch the jack xD

Caller Quality has been good signal overall is great better than Razer and Pixel about same or a bit worse then Samsung

Missus got the xz2 in silver on the 5th from carphone warehouse. Only thing is don't see any option for vowifi or volte do either of you have it? Thanks
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] Phoomeister:
I got the dark green too. I'm liking it so far myself. Had to replace my XZ that was misplaced in a taxi so that's the one I'm comparing it to.

Pros for me:

* Battery life is amazing (so far)

* Speed is nice

* Scroll is smooth

* App launch fast

* I like the heft, I never liked feather light phones that you can never really tell if they're on you and feel a little flimsy. It's also fairly robust as I found after a few slips and falls.

Speakers are good

* The stock launcher is nice, does everything I want it to do, although apparently doesn't support adaptive icons? I think that's a Sony thing. The option might be buried in there somewhere but I can't find it

Things I'm not too sure about:

* FPS on the back, I knew this was going to annoy me but it is just an annoyance rather than a killer. I don't know why anyone would think the back, or at least where they put it on the back is a good UX. For the first few days I was wondering why it wasn't working until I twigged that the camera lens didn't have the FPS in it and had to come down a cm or two.

* The curved back combined with the shiny smooth glass. It rocks a little when on a flat surface but the bigger pain is that it slides around when used in this manner. Not only that but it doesn't like staying put on fabric or anything that isn't grippy. Slid off sofa arm but didn't damage itself when it fell but I can imagine some heartache for a lot of users in this scenario. Wouldn't stay on my Qi wireless charger battery pack, if I got a pad I'd make sure it was bigger and had more grip than some of the ones I've seen which don't look that sensible/compatible.

* I went to plug in my headphones at work the other day before I remembered. And while the adaptor they give you is nice, and small and convenient, it wasn't with me. Not sure if I'll ever be fully prepared for that. I have BT headphones but they too weren't with me.

* I don't like where the volume rocker is, minor point but it just feel like it's in the wrong place for some reason. I would have switched it round with the power button.

I'm not really a camera person so I can't give any advice on what it's like. I take photos, they look good. That's good enough for me. Not fussed on bokeh or the other technical discussions on camera performance but I'm happy so far, nothing glaringly annoying.

[Edit] One thing in the camera, with the XZ I could choose between either the stock camera from Sony or the Google Camera. The latter isn't compatible with the XZ2 apparently, so just using the stock one.

[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] dachao:
It looks like after almost 20 years I will not be buying a SonyEricsson or Sony phone. I need a new phone by June and Sony is a letdown lately. XZ2 will most likely not support VoLT on T-Mobile and the XZ2 doesn't support band 71. The X20 modem supports band 71 but Sony decided not to support it.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] josephnero:
[MENTION=3111961]dachao[/MENTION]

It seems we are on the same boat. But I might get XZ1 and wait.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] Zazzinho:
Yes but sony dimostrating is trash, why launch 2 phone on april and then launch another phone a months later? Launch every 3 phones in one date and stop, or launch the always 2 phones the xperia compact and the regular xperia with premium feature...i can't understand...i can't understand also the sony policy on unlocked phone. Sony release the code for unlock bootloader and if you ask Sony provide to send the code but if you unlock the bootloader you will lose drm and i can't revert to stock with it. I buyed a xperia xz2 but sony deserves to fail
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] FartyParty:
Yep, skipping XZ2 and will go straight to Premium when it launches. I had the XZ Premium and loved it.

So happy the new Premium will have 6GB ram and even bigger display.

I literally only buy phones from Sony :good:

[MENTION=8004595]FartyParty[/MENTION]

I also always buy sony phones but lately there isn't any suitable phone for me.I find premium chunky so it's not for me. Might have to keep XZ and wait for XZ3
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] afcor:
I just finished a conversation with T-Mobile Support and received the following message: "I spoke with a tech care department. They did confirm that our network will support the device! That's awesome news!" So, it appears that T-Mobile is supporting VoLTE (and I asked specifically about WiFi call, as well) on the XZ2. According to the product spec sheet on phonearena, it uses all bands necessary for VoLTE, etc. Band 71 is just the 600 MHz network for improved service in rural areas, and not necessary for most users in urban areas (at least that's my understanding. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong).

[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] shehabskull:
OP6 or Xperia XZ2?

So I am really confused between these two devices. OP6 has better specs and lower price than the XZ2 (around 80$ less) but on the other side I believe that the XZ2 will deliver a better Sound/Camera quality, But I also believe that Sony is not "Sony" anymore and they keep killing their apps (lke what they did with weather app recently) while OnePlus is making a very good job with their Oxygen OS.

So in your opinion what matters more? the quality or the software experience? can I even trust Sony again after what they did to my Z5? they didn't change a single line in its updates.

Do you prefer a phone that will give you a good quality but you will get bored from it very soon? or a device that you will enjoy using it a lot but you maybe feel the poor quality in its hardware specially the sound and the camera?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] MartinX3:
You can't update the hardware.

Buy it and install treble aosp or lineage os after 2 years (2 years because of ardware drier updates via Sony)
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] christis:
Well said! Lineage on my second Xperia (M2 Dual) rocks! Soon to be on my Z5 Dual as well, until the XZ3 comes around (and it looks like it will be sooner than later).
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] MartinX3:
Maybe the XZ 2 Premium is the xz 3

The specs are the same.

Maybe Sony is producing top models and their hardware revisions like a China factory.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] nreuge:
Dont' forget that Sony multimedia apps (Music, Album) are still on top, Xperia home, Camera and E-mail apps are great. I think Sony is focusing on the most important apps.

Beside this, take into consideration that almost all the most renowned xda devs loyal to Sony have already the XZ2 in their pocket, it's a garantee of future great roms and mods.

XZ2 is a beast, a piece of art and technology. The build quality is perfect. The battery life is outstanding (about 9h SOT). Camera is amazing.

I can't say anything about the OP6 because I don't own it. But If you leave Sony Xperia, you will be missed very much :crying:
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] shehabskull:
Looks promising! But don't you feel boring of it after a short time of usage? I mean we know Sony doesn't tweak ui that much to make their phone interesting to use. We also know Sony is late as always so no portrait mode in both front and back cameras and I don't expect them to add it in an update.

Of course seeing you guys holding this device is a great reason to go and buy one but you change your devices a lot :v and I am not planning to buy again for a lot of time (cause I am going to college and I want to focus).

BTW how do you deal with that "loopy" design I saw it spins a lot on surfaces does applying a cover fix this? And did you get to use the new location of finger print sensor?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] nasko_spasko:
Hi guys! I've bought mine for about $500~550 with a carrier plan. The device is SIM-unlocked. It's been a month since I got it and I'm enjoying it so far.

I like Sony UI because I like sobriety.

XZ2 fulfills my exceptations, how could I be bored?? Maybe in 2 or 3 years lol...

I'm just waiting for root and recovery.

It spins a bit if you push it on the side. I never use finger print sensors, so I can' t say...

Hi, I just got an old Samsung Galaxy Star 2, and willing to do some development on it, but it looks like compiling TWRP takes a lot of resources, and I just feel like that it is not worth compiling TWRP to an unknown device. So I made this thread to know if there's still people using this device. If you still use this device please post below and let me know, if this gets enough replies I will try to compile TWRP and maybe even a ROM. :) Thanks!

Hello,

iv came to those forums few days ago, after my HTC Mozart wn7 device had some bad days, that ended in reset to factory settings. Iv been using it as ebook reader for 4 or 5 years now, and it works very well that way for me. Or used to. After reset to factory settings iv been unable to download anything from ms store, and of there is no sup for wp7 for ages now, so after some tries iv managed to root it, and get custom rom on it, in hope i will be able to install apps outside of ms store. But new problem arise, thats not exacly one iv forseen, there is no XAP files i could have found with any ebook readers apps iv heard about to be found anywhere. All links are dead. Iv been trying to contact Legimi and Freda devs, but they dont rly replay to emails, so iv decided to post that topic in that, long dead, section of forum, in hope maybe someone will be able to help me. Im looking for XAP file of any ebook reader app for wn7 phone, Legimi, Freeda, Tiny Ebook Reader or any other. as far i know, none of those was paid app, so it should not be any form of piracy, its probably a bit against ms store rules, but its not like its my dicision to go against their policy, they decided to end support, not me. I would be very greatfull for any help on that matter! Thank you in advance.

qd

ps. Reading books in ms office for wp7 sux...

ps2. its not problem with authorization thats preventing me from installing from ms store, its d000f001 error, that doesn't seem to have any way of solving.

EDIT: thanks to kindness of Freda developer, iv got working XAP of his app. Problem kind of solved, if anyone needs it i can provide.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers] SubwayChamp:
Miglobe is available for Redmi 5 (called so in this thread) device name Rosy I don´t know if its the same but aspect and wallpaper that shows device is the same http://mi-globe.com/rom-builder-features/?codename=rosy&img=redmi5.png&realname=RedMi+5 also you can add or not some mods in your zip rom to flash it.

Really I don´t tell exactly what is the reason on this error many mentioned in almost all the forum, cause I unlock my last mi max in less than a half hour and now my Redmi 5 Plus came with bootloader unlocked from the seller, so strange method cause I´m sure that they didn´t get any code unlock but anyway.

I Read in some post that is necessary to solved this issue first install china rom with EDL method using testpoint, also anyone mentioned the normal method to enter in EDL that some devices naturally has with combination keys (a trickey method that needs many many patience) and also the other previous option to get EDL before to open back cover with a "flash deep cable" this worked for me in the past trying to put device in this special mode.

Adding to all mentioned I know that some users that flashed TWRP and custom roms with locked bootloader, read carefully this thread and if you want to try just replace all the files mentioned that have to be specific for your device http://xiaomitips.com/guide/how-to-flash-miui-fastboot-rom-on-mi-max-with-locked-bootloader/

Also you have this thread, is more easy that many users think https://xdaforums.com/mi-max/how-to/installing-twrp-locked-bootloader-t3406501

There is a main idea about how to work locked bootloader and why is not possible to flash nothing unofficial on it. It is mainly caused for stock recovery, once you get change it for a custom one you can flash anything you want prevent you to encrypt your data after reboot and prevent you that stock recovery don´t overwrite again to custom recovery..

I would check and make sure the international version supports bands 66 and 71 first (600 mhz). I've looked all over but I can't find that info anywhere yet.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] fragg3d:
If you are financing I'd buy unlocked from Samsung.com, If paying full price buy it directly from T-Mobile directly. If you plan to have it SIM unlocked T-Mobile branded phones from Samsung.com are harder (not impossible, but not instant when you are eligible through the Unlock App). If the S9 is like the S8 you should be able to switch to each carriers firmware automatically after it's unlocked. I found the carrier bloat to be very light on the S8, and doesn't prevent you from using most features compared to the factory unlocked model (Verizon excluded).
