Hello everyone.. I'm using xperia z right now. Its been an old phone and pretty well outdated so I need an upgrade. Wanted to go for Z2 but it seems old as well compared to Z3 then Z3+ and now Z5. Xperia Z5 is pretty catchy as I see. And I really like it but I'm just scared. I don't want to spent much money then regret! I've been reading around the threads here about the problem. Some people are talking about the low battery capacity.. Others are talking about the bad camera which is stressing me mostly. Others are talking about the blurry edges and the "fisheye" camera. All these are making me stressed about buying it. I know its a great phone and almost perfect but oh well :/ im using xperia z like I said and the camera is pretty ugly right now. Much noise (I see small random blue and red dots) in low lighted places (indoors) which is annoying. I have xperia tx and its camera is hella better than the Z! Sharp and clear almost like the iPhone... People are talking about noise and blur in pics. Is it that bad as the Z? Try to cover your lens and see! Do you see the noise of the camera just like the Z? I'd appreciate it if someone gives me some honest answers. I'm a Sony fan as well! But the Z5 is confusing me especially with the people. And what with the Rev X thing? And the color? Does that also matter? I'd like the black one!
And other thing also. The screen angles. In the videos I see the white screen turns into purple on different angles. Is it really like that or the camera which is used to record the video's fault? ?
Please just give me some honest answers about the battery, camera (most) and the screen angles thing. And if I should go for this device as a final decision
Thank you all and sorry for taking a lot of your time and the huge paragraph!
Z --------> Z5?

I was in the same boat, as there were a lot of people commenting about all sorts of issues.
I decided to try my first Sony, a Z5, and I haven't regretted it. It lasts as long if not longer than my old G2. I've had 4 1/2 hours screen on time, which is about an hour longer than I got with the G2.
It's been a good upgrade for me. My only concern is that the MM update is taking a long time, and Sony seem to have gone mad securing the device, so there is minimal hope of getting root, without permanently losing some features (you can fool the software though).

Well... I hope I won't regret it just like you ..and yeah. They're taking long about the update. I hope it improves the performance and camera. And just another question if you don't mind asking. Is there any way to root it without unlocking the bootloader? I will seriously need to root it because it'll be necessary for the data restoration thanks again..

This is a picture from the front cam (5 mp) covered.
And this is from the rear cam (23 mp) covered.
But honestly, let me tell that the camera is really good!! I loved it. And the battery life is around 5 hours screen-on and on 3g without playing anygame and stamina on below 20%. Its just the mobile radio active bug that kills the battery and get the phone down to 3 hours only instead of 5+ hours. They said its fixed in the MM, so we are waiting to see that. The phone powerful and strong. I like it but its bothering me the DRM keys and that we have to wait for the MM.

Here's my covered camera experience (Z). I think its not good. Yours is noticeably better I see.
And there:
You can see the weird noise in the picture if you zoom in. Is it like that if you take a similar picture on your phone? Can you do me a favor and show me please?
And the battery is I don't know.. Some people are getting from 4 to 7 hours screen on time.. Hopefully it gets fixed in marshmallow..
Thanks

There is currently no way of obtaining root without unlocking boot loader.
I believe it is down to the extra security there is in place..
You can unlock the bootloader, root and then restore the DRM features, but you will have lost the features if you ever want to go back to stock. I'm holding off until we get MM as it the device may find a way to root without unlock.

Here it is. And about battery life
But i got better battery life than that but unfortunately i didnt screenshot it.
Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk
The problem with reading online is people only write about the bad things. I personally haven't experienced most of the issues that I've seen others write about. I'd like to say I also came from the original Xperia Z and as it's almost the same size it's in my opinion the best upgrade. My friend had a Z3 which was noticeably bigger which put me off. I'm actually living without root atm although I'm eager to use some root apps that I really miss especially for advertisements as I think advertising is ruining the internet completely.
All in all had this phone since launch and I'm very happy

Its okay to live without root sometimes but the most important thing that I will need the root in is when I will restore my apps backup. ROM toolbox needs root to work

I feel like your all crazy!
I've had 2 devices (returned one cause I scratched the screen) and they have both been excellent. No reboots, good battery, no lag, no freezes, dont know or care about backlight bleed, yea reception could be better and I'm sure it will with updates etc... My experience sounds 180° from everyone elses.. This is the best phone I've had by far and I've had a lot.
I'm sick of hearing about people wanting to get a sensation or a sgs2, good for you. You really think it will be issue less? My n1 had issues, vibrant had issues, all other phones had issues, heres what you do...... Get a replacement till you get a good one (except backlight issue cause I think they will all slightly have this, root and wait for community and mod or wait for a official software upgrade...
This phone is solid man.. Good battery, solid hardware, great camera, video camera is great, ips screen is awesome, **** is fast as hell, developers like morfic and paul o'brien and cyanogen are on it, gps works great, data is fast (although could be a tad better reception wise, but new modems will help that) ffc is damn good for a 1.3mp, tegra games should be a bit better this month with galaxy on fire 2 and that wave runner type game, gameloft games are already being optimized for tegra etc...
G2x has everything I want and need out of a new phone. sensation and its locked boot loader sucks ass, sgs2 sounds like gps is still wack (coming from a vibrant this gps is amazing) and the updates only came cause of the #neveragain revolution..
So please, just get a replacement or wait on some fixes. Lets talk about some positivity hear like threads on pictures from our camera or videos taken from our beautiful 1080p video, etc. I don't want to hear about how your ditching this for a unreleased device thats gonna have its own set of issues. Theres already enough topics on issues I'm sure yall can post in those and not make new threads and complaints about old **** or dumb **** like my video camera won't open anyone one else having this issue? Lol trouble shoot yourself and stop crying about every little thing that goes wrong...
Honestly other than reboots and bleeding, everything else is just dumb sorry.....
Positivity yall....

I'm not completely sure, but I think he is pissed about not getting either the S II or the Sensation (with its ass sucking feature) instead.
He's complaining because his phone is better than some of us who've received it.
In his world $200-$500 is chump change and in that price bracket minor defects add character and are perfectly acceptable.

Fan-freaking-tastic! good point that's my whole reasoning for returning my G2X. 249.99 + plus taxes plus (amazon 149.99 I know) two year binding contract is alot in my world so when I upgrade I want my device as close to perfection as possible. Sure I know that there will be issues. That being said LCD bleed is complete lack of QC on LG part. Restarts and battery life issues that the android community has to figure is just dumb.
I loved my G2x its a great phone but I'm waiting a month for all the ppls to buy the first line of them. I'll go back and see if they've fixed the problem if not then Ill turn my money toward samsung.
My g2x doesnt have a toilet paper holder. So im returning it and getting a jitterbug. Are there alot of accessories for jitterbug? Like a cardock?

Agreed. I had a few reboots, but that is all. Not enough to complain about. I wish everyone with issues would root their phone and install the leaked gingerbread update. All issues shall vanish.
Also I don't believe there are that many battery life issues. Everyone phone has a thread regarding "poor battery life".
simplest way to stop *****ing threads is to NOT POST IN THEM. if the OP sees that no one is replying to his dumb ass thread it'll just die out. although I admit it does take some will power not to leave a smart ass comment sometimes!

You know what I hate? Morons who tell you stop complaining. Funny thing is that's what the nazi's told the Jews as they loaded them onto the trains. Stop complaining? Stay positive? If people didn't complain about BS QC, or something that's not right, or being ripped off, treated unfairly, we would still have indentured servants, slaves, etc. Complaining because you don't LIKE your phone is just stupid. Complaining because the phone is defective, a pos, or similar IS WHAT YOU SHOULD DO. Corporations are not out to make you happy. They are out to make money. PERIOD. this why everything is made in China, made with cheap labor and made like crap. The only thing us lowly slugs can do is complain! And if enough consumers complain, only then is there a chance for something like a recall or replacement to happen. If your sick of people complaining then go stick your head in the sand so you wont have to hear about it. Remember: you are CHOOSING to read or hear about complaining. And like the other peeps said...you are complaining about complaining?

My HTC One S has started doing something very weird since Friday... Randomly started doing it after restarting my phone in the morning. I've done everything in the book I could think of...

The store was closed when I went yesterday, but I did get on the phone with support and they got another on the way already. unfortunately it's not certain the replacement will be new, may be a refurbished. The lady over the phone couldn't say for sure what it would be. (of course this is the same person that said "can you take your battery out for me and tell me if the sticker is red?")
I'm really curious to see if I'm the only one with that problem
There is only one solution.

I really wish I could use that shaver, my screen is only getting worst every morning, seems that when I don't use it for some hours it gets worst and thicker. This morning the bottom half was just completely grayed out to the point I couldnt even see any of the icons. it thinned out after I locked and unlocked the screen few times to where I can see stuff again but still with that layer.

To me is sounds a little like the LCD (not digitizer) screen is coming loose. I am no expert, but no matter what I would send it back before opening it if there is any chance of getting it warranty repaired or replaced.

the screen seems on nice and tight, if anything it be a loose wire but it gets real thick last couple mornings then if I restart it couple times and play with lock unlock the screen it'll thin back out to where I can see the bottom half again... which is kinda random.

Ok, I had seen a video of an X version doing that, wasn't sure if it was normal.
I do have an exchange phone coming in. My two concerns on it is. for 1 its more than likely a refurb :what: 2 its coming on Friday but I'm leaving tomorrow for the whole weekend as I had said prior, This thing is only getting worst, it flickers all day from 1/4 to 1/2 way now. Really bummed about it because I really wanna like this phone and granted I really do do like it... For me coming from an iPhone (which being a pc user it pains me to say is a darn good solid phone) I think this thing actually holds its own... But this screen issue is not looking too positive so far

LOL ya mine seems new, it was sealed original packaging, new charger, manual everything.
here is what the old one been doing since friday tho
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55iXJKI1Wew&feature=g-upl
and since I didn't have my new phone till last night and yet still had to make calls and text messages, can't tell how much of a pain in the ass this been.
question tho... was your rooted then relocked when you sent it back?? I relocked mine and ran the RUU but it won't do the update which I find kind of weird. I think getting the replacement is the easy part... what worries me is what they try to say after send the old one back, I have babied this phone so much and granted I know it's hardware problem for sure, I just don't want to give them a reason to even try and say it's my fault. I already paid nearly full price for the old one... I'd be one pissed off basterd if they try to make me pay it again

I think getting the replacement is the easy part... what worries me is what they try to say after send the old one back, I have babied this phone so much and granted I know it's hardware problem for sure, I just don't want to give them a reason to even try and say it's my fault. I already paid nearly full price for the old one... I'd be one pissed off basterd if they try to make me pay it again

Before I return. Unrooted and ran Ruu, which is not our US version, which I found out later lol.. I haven't receive a call or email about "relock" on my bootloader.
Tmo USA can kiss my A*** if they're smart enough to know what I did to my phone, beside HTC lol

Hi! I just bought yesterday an Unlocked Atrix 2 from AT&T, it came with Android 2.3.6 (55.13.25.MB865,ATT.en.US) Pure stock, not rooted, brand new.. My question is.. What should i know about this device? Is it Getting an official OTA of ICS soon? I don't want to root it yet, i'd like to receive official ICS Update via OTA, then root and play with it. I'm in argentina, and sometime while surfing the web with 4G i lose network connection and reconnects itself after a few secs, someone has experienced that? The Screen is a little yellowish all over white colours, normal too or what? Thanks A2 Users!

Hi. And, welcome to the community..
It's a good device, but it has a locked bootloader which prevents us from installing truly custom roms or custom kernels. But, as you will notice, the guys around here can do some pretty cool stuff with what limited capabilities we've got. (The unlock you are referring to is the subsidy unlock for different carriers, I assume).
Yes, depending on your definition of soon, the official ICS is coming soon-ish (my guess is august for the at&t us builds). And simply rooting, should have no impact on receiving or installing the official ota update - it's the other stuff you do with root that screws up the install of the ota - but we have ways to fix up your system for the ota..
Never been to Argentina, but I have experienced bad data connections depending where I'm at.
The yellowish color is not normal. At least mine doesn't look yellow. And since yours came stock 2.3.6 (most come 2.3.5 out of the box), and it's sim is unlocked, so it may be refurbished or slightly used.. not sure what causes the yellow.. do you have a screen guard that discolors it?
Hope that helps. Good luck with everything.

I've never noticed a "yellow" tint, but I do have some darkish blotches in the center of where my keyboard would appear that may be from mashing the screen too hard while angry texting crazy girls...

Wow! So many replies in just Minutes.. Thanks a lot, i feel confortable asking here now. First of all its Sim Unlocked, you can use it with any carrier. About "Yellowish" tint all over, is hard to tell when it is noticeable, for example, when you surf in Google Play, while loads the screen of a selected app, you can see the background the yellowish tint is a bit noticeable, also in Wifi settings and others, but colors in photos and everything is perfectly normal.. Probably i'm a bit daltonic or paranoid. I'm happy to know that our phone will have ICS in August, i think the wait will worth, i saw Droid Razr running ICS and, OMG so smooth, so perfect..! The only i complain about is about the stock browser, wich provides a laggy experience -.- but overall performance is good! I like the build quality, its a very good looking phone, looks very professional and feels like a premium phone. Not like the cheap plastics Samsung GS2 i own, it feels like a toy compared to A2! I'm uploading photos of the phone right now.

I agree, it feels like a good quality piece of hardware. Oh, and August was just my guess, the official word from Moto is Quarter 3, which goes until like late September I think.. so who actually knows..
As for browsers, yup, the stock GB browser is horrible in my opinion also.. I'm sticking with Boat Browser - keeps getting updates and getting better. Also, Firefox is available for GB, and for ICS, you can get Chrome (but it's still pretty bare bones - plus the stock ics browser uses chrome parts I believe..). Just try a few out, and you'll find a nice replacement browser...

Hi all just a quick thread to say that im new to the Galaxy Note 3 N9005.
I bought it online yesterday only paid £320 for a brand new sim free in a sealed box so got a real bargain.
First impressions are wow, what a beast. So much power. So fast. So much battery life.
In the past i have ported apps for the Galaxy S3 I9300 ( previous device ) and once I have gotten used to this device I will start porting some more apps where possible and where needed.
So hopefully I will be seing you all around the forum.

To get it that cheap, and local, nice. Didn't even think of checking out Gumtree over here (Australia). Looking now.. I probably should have. D: Damn, there's a N9000 going for $400 new. Or 16GB N9005 $465 new. Cry.

Hey there Avenger!
I wrote a (long) guide on the Note 3 and Android in general on how to get the most out of it, I think it might be of some help to you !!
First things first, the Snapdragon version is much better (4G, faster processor, better battery life).
And the Black colour is better it has leathered-texture, the white still feels plasticky. Besides, white bezels on a black screen look horrid.
Secondly, we've got a really stable 4.3 base, its solid. The 4.4 is good too, but has a few bugs for heaps of people.
Because of that, 4.3 is actually better since stepping up to 4.4 gives you no advantages.
And if you upgrade to 4.4 you CANNOT downgrade back to 4.3, which means you miss out on Alliance ROM by sparky_b, its teh bestest.
Sticking with Samsung/TouchWizz base is better because you get proper drivers for the cameras, radios, and all the stability/endurance. No need to tweak it yourself.
Also you get some exclusive goodies like Samsung Store (freebies), Samsung Dive (Find my iPhone equivalent) and first-party apps like Phone, Contacts, Camera, S Pen which are vastly superior to AOSP ones. And stuff like Auto-launch Action/App when S Pen removed, Palm rejection when the S Pen is removed, Air command shortcut, Take a screen shot, Contextual Menu/Popups when pen hovers over, Alarm when S Pen left behind and finally MULTI-WINDOW function.
So here's what you should do:
1-r00t the device with CF-ROOT (easy) or use Root de la Vega to keep Knox counter on 0x0 (warranty purposes).
2-install a custom Recovery like TeamWin (easy) or use kn0x0ut (keep warranty)
3-backup your efs/system (just in case you might need it later)
4-flash VillainMOD or a Stock ROM (and de-bloat it, if need be).
Step 5: Add some powerful MODs!
Some helpful MODs like Volume Booster, SecMMS, Unlimited MultiWindow, Call Record are there to fix what Samsung broke.
Step 6: Xpose the potential with The Xposed Module
Installing the phenomenal Xposed framework, and these few handy modules are a must (XPrivacy, Adblock, Tinted Status Bar, XBlast Tools, GravityBox, Xposed Additions, etc etc)
Step 7: Contribute back to this community
Buy the dev's a beer, I mean a few bucks is nothing... but it goes a LONG way to motivate devs and help them keep going!
Also buy PRO versions of Apps from The Google Market especially;
SuperSU, Titanium Backup, Root Explorer, 500px, Apex, Kii, SwitchR (I'm sure I missed a couple).
Step 8: Accessorize (my top picks)
- This awesome case
- This awesome screen protector
- This memory card
- This desk/bedroom cradle
- This car cradle
- This car fast-charger
- This Portable Miracast dongle
- This controller to use the Sixaxis App and play games with this mount/diy to place the phone over the controller
- Otherwise, this easier but less advanced solution, The MOGA pocket / PRO controller
Step 9: Gaming!
There's heaps of free and paid Android Games, I won't list any here.
But to get the most out of it you'll need to grab one of those controllers listed above and its associated SIXAXIS App / MOGA App (screen taps mapped to physical buttons on controllers).
These emulators which run fullspeed, with sound, no frameskip, and no problems:
PS One (FPSe)
Nintendo 64 (Mupen64)
Gameboy Advance (VGBA)
SNES (Super GNES)
Sega (iGensNoid)
These other emulators which (aren't finished/smooth) but might be useful:
PSP (PPSSPP)
DS Lite (DraStic)
Dreamcast (Reicast)
Windows 98/DOS (Winulator)
...whew that was a lot of typing and a lot of information, I deserve a Thanks : )
I will give you thanks for that.
And yes eventually i will be rooting and custom recovery ( already download ) plus already got a stock odin firmware.
Phone is fully upgraded to KK and i will be using on stock for a week to truley test this beauty.
Then i will root, custom kernel, maybe a few mods.
I will be keeping the rom as it is so no custom rom as dont want to loose any goodness.
Mine is of course the 4G varient.

You just make my second good day with that post mate. :good: I thought 4.3 rom was bad side on my N9005, guess I was wrong.
I got excellent deal on brand new N9005 sim unlocked and sealed and grab it. I held my friends note 2 and I was really impressed with it since I was thinking it would be too big in my hand so I'll have difficulties handling with it, guess what it was just the opposite, I love it!
My old i9000 did his job pretty well until replacement screen went bad.
Yay mine just arrived.
Turned it on.. the start up jingle got cut off. And then it just did that pulsating logo glow at me for... I don't know... ten minutes.
Since it felt like I was installing Windows on at PC I tried the PC solution; held down power for 10 seconds. That actually worked and it turned off. Turn on again, cut off jingle again, pulsating glow again.
Is this supposed to happen?
If I read the above the first thing I'd ask is "Is it a clone?"
But I'm as sure as can be from appearances that it isn't.

Its not meant to happen.
First use, it should pause for 2 minutes then put you to Samsung's Setup Screen.
Sounds like your unit is either factory defective, used by someone and bricked (fixable?), a dummy unit, or a clone.
There's a thread here, check that and make sure its not a dummy or a clone.
After that contact the seller, and see if you could get a replacement since yours arrived defective.
And if that's not an option, and it is genuine... see if you can use Odin and flash something to it like root/CWM. It could just be that the boot loader is not compatible with the kernel/ROM... so flashing a different kernel/ROM might solve the issue. You can flash a different boot loader, but you really need to be careful with such things.
A factory reset and cache wipe appears to have fixed the problem.
Perhaps it's just because I threw the battery in and tried to use it straight away? Is it normal to expect no proper operation out of the box until it's charged? It was also getting hot in literally zero seconds while doing its pulsatey glowy business.
After the reset, it finally booted to whatever setting screen and promptly died (battery). So now it's charging.
But yeah. Had to factory reset a device fresh out of the box. What the. :|
My only guess is that it just didn't want to behave with the virgin battery and that somehow messed things up. The phone/package looks as legit as legit can be. Stylus tips, seal, branding, the whole shebang.

That's typical behaviour of a dead battery. But in your case I don't know what is the deal.
I didn't know you were able to do a factory reset (from recovery?). I thought you were just stuck in a bootloop.
Anyways, enjoy your new spouse ; )
Is there any chance you could root N9005XXUDMJ7 firmware without tripping knox counter?
Just picked up the flex2 from at&t at lunch today. So far its been performing great, at least when comparing to my nexus 5 on 5.1. Did not experience any lag so far like some early reviews suggest. Not sure if the 3gb ram helps here. Will report more on battery later.
Same. Battery life is my only concern. I feel like I won't be able to make it through the day anymore. It's 11:30am (I've been up 3 hours), and I'm at 62%. It's exactly what I predicted would happen in my post a few months ago (Link).
But as far as performance, this thing is rocking.

Screen ghosting: No, burnt images no longer show up like they did on the first gen.
Carrier IQ: This is new to me, however, in the list of packages there is a "LADDM 5.0.1-H95010d". I also just did some research on it. I download 3C Toolbox and it definitely has carrieriq.
No ghosting at all. And the performance has been superb. One thing I noticed though is the screen brightness range being quite limited. Its not bright enough under sunlight and not dim enough at night. Screen in most lighting condition is great and vivid though with some noticeable grainy areas. And smart screen feature is not included (the phone stays awake as the front camera detects your face). Not a deal breaker but nice to have feature.
Battery life is great for me. I started my day at 7am and ended up 65% coming home at 6pm with 1.5hr screen on time. I am a light user with occasional YouTube and play music stream, and some email checking web browsing. Connected to my moto360 all the time. No GPS no Wi-Fi just lte. I know the battery life depends much on personal usage, and for me it is great and I'm going to keep my phone (was thinking about switching to the s6 edge).
One big plus is the quick charge 2.0. Boy it does charge fast, and I think it's the one feature I can't live without moving forward.
That's good to hear. Mine should be delivered in about 12 hours from now and I am sending my nexus 6 back. I am on my 4th warranty replacement , seems moto does not do a very good job refurbishing phones. Looking forward to getting back to lg.

Is it at all possible for someone in this thread to help me in discovering which app I have deleted on accident with the AT&T Variant H950. I am unsure as to exactly why I have no data any longer but I'm sure it is because I have deleted a specific app that is needed in order to access the ATT Data as well as do any kind of call forwarding as well. Perhaps someone here in the thread can post a list of their exact applications so I can find out exactly what it is that I am missing. I have called AT&T about the issue and they are currently investigating the matters but If it is something I can figure out without help I would be much happier without the 90 minutes of wait time.
