New z2 user - Xperia Z2 General

Hi, I'll be switching from my gs4 to this phone soon. Can anyone give me a few pros and cons of this phone? Also I'm seeing this thing about "TF" files. What is that or is it just the file format specific to Sony phones?

Tft file is the actual rom (not custom rom) u can flash to ur device using the flash tool which is mentioned a lot on here lol.
Pros:
Would take too long to list lol
Cons:
For me to be honest non so far except that using the camera heats up the device which im not too bothered about.
-Also could be louder was expexting more from stereo speakers not saying it's not loud lol
-headphone volume output is not the greatest either a lot better on iphones n samsungs (not only z2 same was on my z so i guess sony is limiting the volume for our safety lol)

I'm not seeing any "cons" either coming from a S3. It truly is an outstanding phone.
The battery life is simply awesome!

To me it never was, i previously used Z... Why do you need remowe battery? The only reason could be if the phone lags (stopped working) but this have easy solution by holding volume+ and pwr.button you can force restart the device from any case

Not an issue. I'm getting home from 12-15 hour days with 65-75% battery left. I know that battery life is subjective, but compared to Nexus 5 I was getting home with 25-40%. Nexus was on PA with a kernel that helped improve battery over stock.

Hi, It is probably more productive for you to write what you need from a mobile phone.
ALL the flag ship brands at present have very decent handsets be they Sony, HTC, Samsung, LG, Nokia and Apple. Three different operating systems. What is your preference? Then take a look at the UI, again what is your preference. The options run from the highly specified UI of Samsung and some HTC's to the Google nexus range of vanilla OS.
Signal strength is a must for me.
I prefer Android OS
I like a light UI so Sony if my preferred UI.
Camera doesn't even come on to my list.
Quality of materials and construction rates very high on my list, to that end Sony and HTC are good also Apple but Apples OS is not my choice.
HTC make very VERY nice flagship mobiles BUT signal strength is their weak area, I live way out in the country side with very poor connectivity.
Nokia has had the best signal strength of any mobile I have owned BUT I don't like the OS on present day Nokia.
I listen to music, that is my area of expertise. Nothing to date can match the Sony through headphones for a sound experience.
So..........It's not so much what we like but what fits your needs, Good news is you are spoiled for choice. :highfive:

Killer feature : 2xfront speaker + infra remote control + ultrapixel with OIS.

What is your killer feature in HTC One? I think all the three feature makes me wanna buy one now.
I don't think any competitors have this very important feature.
What largely appeals to me is the boom sound. I can't wait till I have this phone in my hands.

Finally 2 Speakers started coming out. Hope samsung follows or else I will buy HTC One. Its important for me.
I'm choosing between One and XZ and for me One's killer feature is a screen and a processor.
I don't need two stereo speakers for the "old phone" ringtone or mail notification beeps.
The screen!
I think it's the highest ppi screen you will ever see in the market,the sgs4 can be 2% faster than the One (as usual) but they will never beat the 4.7'' 1080p SLCD3 with their 5'' 1080p,it's pure mathematics
The screen without a doubt.

The overall construction (looks amazing in all the videos of it I've seen so far) and the speakers. Hopefully the camera is as good as they say, if so then I will definitely get this
because i'm addicted to THC and i dont like samsung nor sense, but i like htc and the devs work at xda. aluminum is also nice such as the display.
processor to me, but any android apps thats actually demanding enough to push the hardware at all? the GPU is still the andreno 320.

As for the question posed in this thread: in so far as there *is* a killer feature, I guess it's the colour accuracy of the screen; but the S600 chipset and stereo, forward-facing speakers help too.
ANother thing is i tend to use my phones as music players too..so i dont mind the slightly smaller screen..lol if 4.7 is small
As for the speakers I don't know...
I play 99% of my games muted
I won't watch videos on it because of the battery
Listening to music through such speakers is masochism
In the pocket both will be covered by my thigh so they will sound muffled
And on the table they will be acting as a huge dust collectors
1. Build quality
2. Two front speakers
3. Camera
4. Screen
.. and I hope battery life is good.

[Q] nexus 4 camera

We all know that N4 has a very bad camera..specially in low light photos..photos have very much dots..They seems good on mobile but when zoomed even a little its pathetic.
Was anyone able to find out what the issue is..? is it software or hardware..?
If its software related than is there any solution..?

Low light noise, no tap to snap picture, horrendous flash photos.
It's just not as good as the Galaxy S2+ I was going to sell.
The camera is the biggest disappointment for me as a one week N4 owner. I'm seriously considering selling the phone.
I tried the Moto X apk, which seemed to be a little better on the noise front, but I can't live with that aspect ratio. "Focal" was even worse than the stock camera.

I don't in any way think the N4 has a terrible camera. The pictures of takes for me at least are clear and sharp.. Way better than my S2 and honestly look just as good as my brothers Optimus g and NY wife's Note 2..

Yea, I concur. I'm able to take great pictures with this phone. I'm not sure what the issue is. I mean I did come from the Evo 4G to this though, that phone had so many camera issues so I guess anything is better.
After reading around the subject, the only thing I've that gives me any hope is someone suggested using Snap Camera HDR app and fixing the ISO at 100. I'll be giving it a try in the hope of reducing noise in the pictures my N4 makes. Ta-ta, PmT

you dont have to tap the screen. long press the shoot button until its focused, then release. or in 4.3, you can hold down the down volume button then releae when focused.
btw some recent photos..
This phone sold for $200, of you want better camera you're going to have to shell out more money for other phones with better camera.
If you want less noise in low light shoot with iso 100. Or get n HTC One.

While I wait for the N4 to arrive

Hello all,
I have just ordered my Nexus 4 and while I wait I'm looking at all the apps/Roms/mods for it. I have chosen N4 over S4 or HTC One mainly because of the price. I hate the fact that this will be my 3rd Android experience without acceptable audio recording in videos with loud environment. Finger crossed for a fix but I doubt it.
I think I made the right decision although Nexus phones don't excel in best hardware they are very well optimized running pure Android and not to mention the latest versions. The development for this model also is better then S4 and HTC One
From what I have found so far I am going to get Faux kernel and sound and I will also install the mode to improve the camera quality and maybe enable LTE.
If anyone has other advice or apps/ROM/modes that you think they are worth please post them here. Thank you devs for this wonderful forum! Cheers!

Audio recording in loud enviroments is impossible due to the way microphones work. Take a $5000 microphone and it'll suck at it too.

I have asked on other threads if anyone can test Faux Sound and modify the Camcorder Microphone Gain to -10 or -15 I think it will make the recording OK but I can't yet test since I'm still waiting for the Nexus to arrive .
Everyone is obsessed with modifying GPU and CPU values but there are few who are interested in sound and those that are care only about the quality when listening to music. I think it's very important to be able to record OK sounds even if the sounds are loud. I know about the copyright thing and believe me this is not the issue since there are still phones out there that record good sound. If you are are someone's birthday and you want to record some memories you will have to ditch the sound
Wonder if Nexus 5 will still have this issue and finger crossed for 4.4 to allow mic gain control.
I finally have my Nexus 4 with 8GB. I have it for about 1 week and I have not root it. Did anyone managed to reduce the gain on the mic to record K loud sound?
I think this is the most amazing Android experience yet and I don't mind about the battery or thermal throttling at all.
I am even pleased with the 8GB since I have 50GB on Box and 15 on GDrive.
Only complaint is the poor sound when recording loud sounds.

[Q] Second thoughts about a Note 3

I just ordered a new Note 3 from Amazon and it was darned expensive.
I have a note I which I have used consistently for the last year and a half and I have used it daily. There are signs it might be wearing. I even have some small scratches on the screen. I expect to use the 3 the same way. I loved my 1 but thought I should upgrade before it falls apart.
The question is will I see a significant difference in the 1 and the 3? Is the 3 worth the price
I will appricate any thought you have on this subject
Wait until you get the note 3 use it for a few days and decide for yourself amazon is quite relaxed on returns

The battery life isn't much better than My N7100. However it's a 4g phone which up until now should have meant worse battery life than it's 3g counterpart. It's also a much faster processor and the screen has a much higher ppi and is significantly brighter. All these improvements and no sacrifices so far as battery life is concerned are pretty amazing to me.

if the note2 was the beast, and you're coming from a note1, the note3 is the incredible hulk. my first couple of days, i was kind of like, meh, it's just an incremental upgrade, and honestly it is, but it has a lot going for it and i am liking it more and more and more. this might be the first phone i keep much longer than 12 months. i upgrade once a year, and i am not too enthused about the first generation of 64bit phones that will hit in the near future. between google keeping mum on 64bit android, oem's still keeping hush about their 64bit plans, the initial bugs from android aaaaand the vendors overlays, i wanted a phone that would hold me over. but who am i kidding? i'll probably still get another phone next year.
I had a Note 1 and I have a Note 3 it is the best decision I made.
Bigger screen.
Better pen
Faster processor
Been playing with it all day long and I am sure the battery will do another day.

One think that annoy the hell of of me is that if you try to use pattern or password for lock screen you will lose lock screen widgets, and voice commands.... Those only work with swipe option... Hopefully Sammy will get this fixed ASAP. By enough whining, that's the best phone since Nokia 6310i

if the note2 was the beast, and you're coming from a note1, the note3 is the incredible hulk. my first couple of days, i was kind of like, meh, it's just an incremental upgrade, and honestly it is, but it has a lot going for it and i am liking it more and more and more. this might be the first phone i keep much longer than 12 months. i upgrade once a year, and i am not too enthused about the first generation of 64bit phones that will hit in the near future. between google keeping mum on 64bit android, oem's still keeping hush about their 64bit plans, the initial bugs from android aaaaand the vendors overlays, i wanted a phone that would hold me over. but who am i kidding? i'll probably still get another phone next year.

I had a Note 1 and I have a Note 3 it is the best decision I made.
Bigger screen.
Better pen
Faster processor
Been playing with it all day long and I am sure the battery will do another day.
BUY ONE!

What all these people said.
It is a great phone, streets ahead of my Note 1.

Does the S5 still have Air View, Gestures and Smart Screen features?

I saw the reveal yesterday and have read countless articles about the S5. There was no mention of them in the announcement and nobody has any info about it. Anyone?
Yes. It's deep in the settings

Id' heard it's been dumbed down a bit, which i was interested in, for me the SGS4 was a bit gimmicky, seemed to be too much going on at the same time.
After a while you simply don't use some of the gestures, you rely on what you know, probably why the HTC One was so popular, it's system was literally stripped of anything it didn't need, worked really well and it's been the best to date, i think Sammy could take a thing or two from that.

Yep, they should definitely remove things like the smart scroll or the smart pause. Those are not even gimmicky, they are simply useless.

Agreed, they're simply to show off to people who've been using the likes of an iphone.
In real life they're pretty crap indeed.
They are still there but turned off by default.

Based on your signature, I'm wondering how are you liking the S5 so far? How's the battery life compared to the S4?

:thumbdown:It's not as good as the advertisement. it drains fast.( just basic apps running in the background nothing that should drain the battery.)
I love the camera , camera editing, and the sleek look of the phone. It's better once you hold it. looks really nice.
:thumbup: It's snappy and badass.

That's not good to hear about the battery life but I assume your device is running a pre-release software build so hopefully Samsung will fix any bugs that may be draining the battery in the final release software.
