You will have had to have purchased the phone from Carphone Warehouse or direct from Sony during October in the UK to qualify.

Think you could figure out how to port over their EE wifi calling that would be great haha.
my contract is on EE but because it's not direct from them I cannot use wifi calling ....
Carphone never told me this however.

If you buy direct they have their own firmware for the phone so you can follow this guide.
https://ee.co.uk/help/phones-and-de...setting-up-wifi-calling-on-the-sony-xperia-xz
Otherwise it does not even appear in the phone. Its a build in feature from them, They have some sort of partition on the phone.

Yeah I understand now thanks for that. I may need to try and root this 1 day the chrome browser seems to have the ee touch as home page on it is ee and there's no way to change and no way to uninstall it. That's the only thing ee I can see. I'll give this ee calling ago. I would of brought from carohonewarehouse but£40 cheaper at ee and black and silver in stock was a no brainer.

Random question, I've received these headphones and I don't seem to be able to use Google voice dialler. I hold down the play button but nothing happens. Have you been able to get it working?

Not sure.
I'll get mine later today so will test and find out then.
Will see if we can get this working !

I thought i'll never get mine, i've ordered phone through service's provider online shop 9.10.2016(preorder) and had to wait until 13.10.2016(all providers in my country started deliveries that day- start of event 14.10.2016-18.11.2016) since it was end of the week i've recived mine 17.10.2016. The same day i tried to register my phone with a code i was given, to my suprise it did not worked at all, i've send an email to company that organised this promotion, it took two days and my perseverance to finally make it work, i had to try diffrent combination of 2 middle letters. 19.10.2016 i fortunatly registered it and waiting had started. 7.11.2016 after all i got an email that confirmed proper registration and that they will send it in the next 30 days. Just hope i'll get it late next week or week after that. Did any of you guys got the same problem? How long it took before you recived yours headphones?

No I just popped my IMEI number in and got mine like 2/3 days after.
Was pretty simple if I'm honest.

It's probably my luck i guess, company that organizes that is greenmark, a third party not Sony's Polish branch

Finally i got mine yeasterday, sound quality is good, build quality is acceptable, they fit well and comfort of use is high

Filled in my details and it wouldn't accept me for the offer.
Sony XZ Purchased from Carphone Warehouse, member of staff mentioned the headphone offer to me during purchase but the offer website doesn't accept my IMEI so i'm out of luck

same here website says my code is invalid.

T-mobile lead times: Whats going on??

Hi,
Ordered a Vario 2 from a T-mobile store about 4 weeks ago - still out of stock. Tried to order on-line, order was processed successfully but then had a follow up call saying its out of stock.
I really need to get off my current tariff so hope they sort something soon!
Is anyone else in this position/has anyone else managed to obtain a phone in the last month? Any T-Mobile insiders have an idea when your getting some?
Thanks,
Paul
Yeah i have ordered one on monday. Still no news os still waiting. Let us know whey u receive one.
just to upset u all. i ordered mine online on last tuesday, and got it the next day been playing with it ever since.
Hi there, if it's t-mobile UK you are referring to I ordered mine 12 days ago online and received it the next day. I was told on two occassions when I called them that they were out of stock, but one day I rang they had 500 odd in stock. That is when I rushed my order through online.
This would mean I had mine when your order was waiting. I'd ring them and play hell if I were you.
Thanks for the tip off g00nerz. I guess there possibly working through a back log of orders, that said, I am not impressed at having to wait a month when other people have got one very quickly - I'm going to give them hell tomorrow!
Many Thanks.
I ordered my vario ii through t-mobile direct from my holiday in spain on monday 8th october and it arrived at my home in the uk the next day.....
these are rushing out of stock so fast, so it you can grab one, get it fast...
This has really annoyed me - thinking of choosing a different carrier - its ridiculous to wait 4 weeks for a phone - the store hasnt even given me a courtesy call. I know they're in short supply but I've ordered two in the last month and neither has been sent!
Thanks for letting me know the "state of play"
Hi All,
Rang Tmob this morning inquiring the status of my order and apprantly the update is that there are component shortages (did nto say what components) but the long and short of it it that the phone will now not be available until the end of the month !!!
So i guess we will still be waiting a while then !!
I spoke with T-Mobile yesterday as I was expecting a swap out unit today. It appears that the current batch they have in stock is being held back for quality checking. I had a problem with mine (another replacement received Monday) which indicated that the manufacturer (HTC) has not carried out the vendor specific setup properly (ie keeps asking for a network unlock code). I can only assume other stock units have got the same problem.

Wow. Went to order mine today only to find that T-Mobile have completely removed the Vario 2 from their website.
Looking bad...

I wouldnt worry about that, it disappears and re-appears all the time! When I went to sign up for a web and walk tarriff the other week the only phone it would offer me (and put in the basket!) was a v3 razr - in pink! Phoned customer services and they said that the website was in the process of an overhaul and hence it was in error.
Tell a lie, just checked my e-mail and its been dispatched -- hoorah! Should be here before 1 tomorrow apparently.
Maybe the MD of T-Mobile reads the Hermes message board?!

Since T-mobile introduced the new WebnWalk tariffs on Oct 1st 2006, the Vario2 has flown off the shelves becuase the handset doubles as a USB modem for laptops and the WNWPlus is a better package than anything Vodafone or Orange offer with their data cards. This is why I bought one to try out for my company, I know of another company that bought 31 for their sales staff in one hit and more of my customers are doing the same having been pleased with what I've told them already.
T Mobile takes the phone off the website when they sell out which accounts for its dissappearance. I must say though as a business customer the service is fantastic, everytime I have called CS I have got through in under 2 mins usually it takes a few rings once I have got through the menu system to the right department and am very pleased with it. I've got my TT6 installed with my GPS236Slim receiver, can take calls whilst its plugged in to my laptop as a modem and Remote Access (Terminal Server) is usuable even when not in a 3G cell so I'm in heaven and it works on the norfolk broads of all places!!!!!
Ah that's not so bad, then. Never having used T-M before I didn't expect that. I would have thought that just marking it as not currently in stock would be a better option that pulling it, but maybe that's just me.
I guess I just check the site to see when it reappears, then!
Awesome. I just had a call from T-mobile UK. The Vario 2 is now in stock and I can order one for delivery tomorrow.
I had to check on some things so called back, spoke to someone else, and suddenly they've not been in stock today and won't be available until next week.
Mr. left hand and Mr. right hand need to get talking, I think.
T-mobile told me that they'l have them in stock this week when rang them last week. I've just come off the phone from t-mobile and they've just told me they had no idea when they'l have them in stock and to try next week...... wtf cant they get their act together. I've never known anything like it... if only orange or vodafone matched the web n walk tariff then i'd be off like a shot!!! (i think its ony a matter of time) if anyone from T-Mobile is reading this "this get your act together".
Just rang T Mob again and this time not end of the month but "we have no clue when they will get them in." So my response well for the inconvience are you willing to throw in a free SD card or something else ? Oh No sir we are not allowed to do that. Ok then thanks for your call !!
WTF!! what do they mean no clue. Why accept orders when u know you can fulfill them ??
Anyway just an update for you folks! Dont except the vairo II anytime soon. (I hope i am wrong) !

My vario comes tomorrow... I live in The Netherlands.
T-Mobile in the netherlands had also problems with the vario II stock. But after 2 weeks its solved and they do delivery's from monday!

got mine from vodafone this morining

im completely blown away, how fast and smooth everything runs. internet is REALLY fast, faster than iphone by a few seconds to load a page. only annoyance so far is when typing it always auto corrects my words to something i didn't type. auto correct is also turned off in setting
the sceen is amazing, cant tell it has only 65k colours
feel free to merge this thread...
Glad you got yours from voda. I was supposed to be getting mine today as i got a text and consignment number but nothing appears on the dpd website when i enter my tracking number. Better be here tomorrow or i'll be really annoyed
Nice one mate. What is the branding like on it? If at all? Very minimal?
I saw the dummy, and it looks amazing. Should be arriving tomorrow for me!

Mate - when the keyboard is open, make sure that ABC is selected in the button above the left shift key (XT9 or ABC).
This REALLY turns off auto-correction. I've had problems with that myself. I wanted suggestions, so I could select a word without having to type the whole thing, but couldn't stop it "auto-correcting" words. REALLY annoying when it's simply a word that it doesn't recognise and it just guesses! lol
i hope so too man, its been awful waiting for it lol. maybe you should ring voda and enquire about the dpd thing though, just to make sure?
oh and there is no branding at all. everything is left untouched
johncmolyneux ah cheers mate. gah i think they still need an update for the screen, press wrong buttons alll the friggin time :\

From what i understand vodafone no longer lock their phones to the network. A change was made a couple of years ago - i had a N95 at the time and they unlocked it free of charge due to the cange in their policy.

yep sounds unlocked to me. Thats a bonus!
I think Vodafone wanted to get the HD2 out faster than anyone else, so obviously decided not to brand it or bother locking it.
Smart move on their part I think. Certainly lots of people getting new contracts to get it!
Lucky You
Lucky you man. DPD said they tried to deliver it today and even left a note, yet I got nothing from them, and they didn't leave any note.
Really pissed off with DPD as i've waited so long for this phone and they just screwed me.
Well lets hope i get it tomorrow.
My wife had SE M600 and then diamond befoore upgrading to HD2 on Vodafone. None of them were network locked. Also a friend of mine had Pro2 from vodafone and it was also unlocked. Vodafone does not seem to bother with locking the phones for the last few years. Although HD2 is not being delivered until later this week, it is good to hear that their policy on locking has not changed.
Ah great new about the unlocking was thinking that i might had to try and get it unlocked as gonna be using a pay as you go sim, since 18 and dont realy want to be tied to a contract anyone know which would be the best pay as you go for an unlimited internet package been looking at O2 but had no luck on finding there "fair usage policy" and when calling i just get told its unlimited. they realy are usless on these phone support lines

O2's so called "unlimited" is 200MB per month. (Chuckles and wonders what their "restricted" access would be like).
Guess what. Mine won't be here today either......... :-(
Turns out Vodafone didn't give DPD my full address details, so they couldn't route the package. Talk about hopeless.
It's just as well I phoned DPD, as Vodafone were still convinced that everything was okay for delivery today.
If anyone is still waiting for their phone, I suggest you call DPD on 0845 9 300 100 and make sure that everything is okay.
I've now given DPD my mobile number, and complete directions to my house. Hopefully, there won't be any more cockups.
On the plus side, I did manage to get Vodafone to give me a £30 credit to my account for the inconvenience of spending another day at home waiting for delivery.

SGS2 O2 PAYG in my hands

This morning I called O2 to check on my PAYG order and was told it is out of stock so the order was not processed. Went to the local O2 and bought one! Very happy!
Quick notes below and I will add more info later. If you have questions please ask:
1. Screen is AMAZING - looks like a high-gloss magazine print, but very little reflections.
2. The device is SIM locked to O2. In store I was told it is locked for a year but I can unlock it with after market shops and services (non-O2). I already had an O2 PAYG SIM so no need to buy one. Vodafone SIM requires Network Lock Control Key. Will checkout online unlock options.
UPDATE: Paid online for unlock service at http://www.mobileunlocked.co.uk/. Tracking informations states 'Order in Progress with Bulk Supplier. Delivery Time: 6 to 12 Hours from order time'.
UPDATE 2: Got unlock code back in 11 minutes! Unlock successful!
3. O2 stuff: Wallpaper is a panorama view of the O2 arena area (actually nice!). Boot and shutdown screens are with O2 logo. No other O2 stuff and no O2 apps.
4. About info:
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKDD-CL161513
Build number: GINGERBREAD.XWKDD
Baseband version: I9100XXKDH
Congratulations...you'll enjoy it very much

Obviously we demand an extremely indepth and thorough review of the devices every feature!
(don't bow down to pressure to run it through quadrant benchmarks or anything, no doubt someone will be along shortly to ask you... if on the other hand you feel like doing some benchmarks for your own interest by all means share)

No MicroSD bundled. If they did it was probably a rubbish slow 8GB. When I need extra storage I'll get a Class 10 32GB.
How much for the unlock?
Can you report back on when you receive the code and if it works?
Thanks.
Great that it works. I'll add it to my "How to unlock guide".
Thanks,
James
Although it has absolutely no relevance to me whatsoever, that information on unlocking is great news for many here I am sure, thanks.

It cost £15 (I paid with PayPal) and took 11 minutes from order confirmation email (almost immediate after payment) to NCK code in a second email. The instructions were very clear.

Needless to say I was "a bit" upset...
Shop in Stratford have them in stock, but for contract only. Been told to phone again tomorrow for PAYG.
Hi just to let you know the Richmond 02 store has 3 left and the phone is sim free and the only branding is the startup and shutdown images.

Are you sure it is SIM free? Mine wasn't and it doesn't seem likely they have both SIM-locked and SIM-free devices.
I got mine in North Finchley. They had one unit and I asked to reserve for me and they did.
I really hate the O2 logo on boot and shutdown. Anyway to remove it?
Well it has my vodafone sim card in it now and its working. It was the first sim card ever put into the device.

Keep getting code you entered cannot be found after entering IMEI - will they have a list of which IMEI were sold when? Also mine is unlocked.
I'm getting IMEI not recognised too.
I bought mine locked to o2 cheaply off ebay, then unlocked it, my imei worked so maybe it's for o2 customers?
Went back on and entered my imei for a second time after placing an order and it doesn't stop me from ordering again which is a bit weird?

£30 Tablet Cashback For LTE Model

Hi
I have the LTE model. I am supposed to be able to get £30 cashback on the tablet in the UK at sony.co.uk/tabletcashback This website asks for an IDID number, my device has an IMEI number not an IDID number since it is the LTE model. Sony's website will not accept an IMEI number.
Has anyone else with the Z3 Tablet LTE model in the UK managed to claim the £30 cashback?
Nigel
I can't claim till the 15th Dec but glad you bought this up I haven't checked it yet hope it works.
I can't seem to get it to work full stop keeps saying idid number not recognised. I contacted sony and they just asked me to try different browser.
Sent from my C6833 using XDA Free mobile app
I believe that sonys website is broken. The 621GB/B is the LTE specific model? Selecting this in the drop down should mean that the websitr asks for the IMEI rather than the IDID. I contacted them on the phone, but they did not want to know. I fear we wont be able to claim until/unless they fix the website. Maybe if someone else contacts them by phone as well things will be done?
Lucky you guys.. here in the UAE, the Z3 Tablet Compact is supposed to come with a complimentary case with the purchase which they couldn't give me because they have none. Fart faces.
Just a thought you guys have waited 21 days from purchasing the device? as they wont accept the claim unless its been 21 days maybe this is the problem.

In Sweden I got complimentary headphones, MDR-ZX750, with mine. That was when preordering from a local web shop (not Sony). Pretty good deal since the price of the headphones is about 30% of the tablet value.

Just a thought you guys have waited 21 days from purchasing the device? as they wont accept the claim unless its been 21 days maybe this is the problem.

The web shop was netonnet but the deal was only valid for preorders. I ordered mine end of October.
The package is still available but the price is much higher now:

That's still not a bad price at all compared to Dubai. For that same price I got the LTE version of the tablet + a complimentary case which I did not receive sadly.
Any fix to this problem yet can't enter imei number for cashback.
I have now emailed Sony about this cashback problem for models of SGP621 not having a imei box to select let's see what happens.

I have also emailed Sony since my IDID is invalid for my 32GB Wifi - they basically state that the tablet offer has nothing to do with them in the UK and that contact should be made with Sony Europe (who are based in the UK) by telephone on 0207 365 2810.
The support is awful. As a group of companies it is Sony's offer and they should make internal communication to support their external users - not just fob them off with telephone numbers and shirk responsibility.

I agrea I will make a official complaint about this to the appropriate department it's well out of order for such a big company to do this.
Update i have now logged a complaint with sony on this matter and have been told they are looking into this matter now so i will update you guys when they get back to me.
Sony did not get back to me this is bad customer service from them.
Yeah I love the devices they make but hate the customer service.

Any luck?
I have the same problem "This IDID number is invalid" and bought the Z3 tablet from Currys.
Perhaps they been overwhelmed by sales and caught unprepared to handle the cashback requests?!
Anyhow that's bad for Sony, even more CS are useless .... maybe some Facebook capaign will get the wheels turning?!

I bought the Z3 Tablet from PC World and have the invalid IDID number problem.
Just wanted to ask if you managed to get the cashback?
Also, I called customer service and they said that the IDID number isn't valid for the cashback when PC World clearly has this on their website. They told me to go to PC World and fix this problem.
Very dissapointed in Sony, was thinking of getting another Sony product but now I dont think so.
