Hello everybody! I love my Qtek 9000 for many reasons, but the thing I hate the most is the battery. I tried different ROMs (Ranju's, Tomal's etc) and I'm using now the Shiva310.
My ppc never shut down with battery less than 10%...NEVER! But now it's impossible to use it, because it ends at 70%! With the previous it ended at about 50%.
Anybody knows why? I've paid attention to flash when I had full charged battery (Green LED).
Hi,
I have similar problem in past. I have sent my universal to technical assistance too, for more security. But my suspect are right, was the battery. After I have changed the battery, the problem solved.
Regards
Had the same problem - only one solution was/is available, as to my knowledge, to change the battery
Hi
Change your battery. It will solve the problem. I had the same problem and I solved it that way.
Thank you all for your answers. I tried to resurrect my battery with this thread (Solution 2: Recalibrate the battery) and tonight I'll try to put in the freezer. Then I'll reflash the ROM again to understand if the ROM version matters.
I'll came back in this thread to show the results. Bye!
You are only $29USD away form a new battery, so I´ll recommend you to try that option.
Good luck
I saw prices like that in a site but I don't know how much will the shipping cost! I'm in Italy and the International rate are not much friendly...
Aren't there cheaper batterys on eBay? or are they of lower quality? I've been thinking of bying an extended battery (3000+ mhA) before I placed my uni up for sale.
Should one buy batteries from eBay? if so does anyone know of a reliable seller?

Ersil: I'm obviously a new member and I'm not familiar with a lot on this forum but can you please tell me, if you are from Itali how come you have FIDO.CA as a mobile service provider, isn't it only a Canadian mobile company? I've noticed this a lot on other profiles; I've just always thought that Fido is strictly a Canadian company.

I'll check on eBay, but I don't like it much in this time, it's becoming too expensive.

Oh! So it's the mob company! I didn't know that! I think that it's the default, I'll set my operator: WIND.
2 Batteries (seems the standard ones) and a charger 22,8 Australian Dollar (about 13.27€) from an Honk Kong ebayer.
Do you think I can trust him?

The seller seems legitimate, and with almost 40,000 sales at %99.3 positive I would trust him. I also checked his reviews and most buyers seem to be very happy with their purchase, the only negatives were due to slow shipping and wrong parts but at %99.3 you can't go wrong.
My only concern is with the battery itself; would it hold long enough of a charge to match the original battery’s life.
I bough a couple batteries for my Kodak camera and neither of them hold the charge as long as my original does.
I hope this helped.
Anyone tried and buy F8332 model from ebay? Their price seems a bit cheaper than amazon. The seller also includes free shipping.
I did a search on "sony xz f8332".

I bought the Xperia Z2 from eBay. It was 10K less then on Amazon (INR).
So basically, these devices are international variants, brought from international markets such as China & sold in your country, the phone is absolutely fine but you might get the charger of some different country. Also, you might not get manufacturer warranty but sellers warranty, which means if anything goes wrong, you cannot take your device to Sony & raise a claim, you'll have to return it to the eBay seller & he'll hook you up with a replacement.
The best part was
When i bought the Z2, I received model version D6503 which hat LTE/4G whereas the Z2 available in India was with the model version D6502, which did not support LTE/4G.,
I got my phone from here and got it within two days.

Yeah. It's a bit narrow and due to the curved glass it lifts on the edges no matter how much I press down on it.
Another member posted in another thread of a 3D glass screen protector. I might wanna give that a shot. But I might also just wait till the SCTF10 case is available on eBay.

I've been looking at that seller as it's much cheaper than buying in Australia ($999 AUD for Forest Blue).
My main concern is the warranty and stuff, which seems non-existant on (international) phones for Sony.
Can you tell me a bit more about how the item was packaged / gifts received / safe to buy?

I'm from Melbourne and I bought mine from an eBay seller called "buybuybox" for 807 AUD delivered. It only took 3 business days from order to arrival on my desk. No complaints so far.
Wow! Nice shop! Thanks for share!
the extended warranty is how it works?
No idea, I assumed there was no warranty. I didn't really read the ad though lol.

Lol i read the warranty is for 12 month and can be increased to 24 month with optional overpriced
However I think 12 month is the most convenient given that in general offers them the producer.
For what it's worth, I just bought an XZ from the seller tropical_mobile on eBay on Tuesday, and it showed up today from Singapore.
Compared with the US retail version, the only differences I noticed were that the box was sealed, included some cheap earbuds, a screen protector that doesn't give full coverage, and the power adapter is gigantic.
As for customs, there wasn't a declaration form anywhere on my package.

Yes. It was part of the built-in setup process. Though in fairness, I had also flashed the generic UK ROM on a US phone, and the reader worked just fine there, too.
Anyway, when the phone first booted, there were some messages in what I presume to be Mandarin. I have no idea what they said, and I don't remember the US version doing that out of the box. Once you tap through them, you get the option to change the language, and it was pretty much smooth sailing from there.
Anyone from the UK bought the dual XZ from the Uk comment on decent sellers?

This place rocks.
I have two bands (black and brown). The upper band got damaged but lower (non-buckle) part of the band was perfect.
Was able to buy only half the band and some extra screws.
Fast delivery.
Thank you santino18
I just wanted to say thank you for that link. I just purchased a refurbished LGWU2 on eBay and I already knew that these bands do not last, so I was looking for a source to buy a backup band for it. I am glad that they also have the replacement/extra screws as well.

Thanks for this! I was looking everywhere for a replacement band, that's the cheapest one I found!
I have the black right now but it started to break near the connection, maybe I'll go with the brown one, just for a change
Glad I could help.

Did you end up getting replacement bands ftom tntkstore?
My bands are now almost dead, booth loops are broken, the band is also almost broken in half, the buckle part where it connects to the band is also broken, thank god for superglue. I guess because they're made from hard plastic they break easily, especially when I use them during sleep (I use the watch as a sleep tracker)
I read in another post here that the plastic in the replacement bands is softer, which means they won't break so easy. Can you confirm that? If not I'll end up getting the brown version, I really hate the color but I guess the leather will provide some extra protection against breaking. Combined with the deployant buckle I hope they will last a while before breaking again.
Thank you!

Hi,
To answer your question, no I did not order any replacement bands from them. I did order a set of screws from them. The delivery arrived within a few weeks so that was a good thing. To be honest, I don't even wear my LGWU2 any more. I bought a Huawei Watch 1st Edition instead. I did not need the LGE function and never used it so I got a watch with all of the same features minus the cellular. At least now I have a watch that uses regular watch bands. Sorry that I can't give you any information about the replacement bands but if you search the posts here I think you will find someone who has. Good luck.

No worries buddy, thanks for your reply I'll probably make a new post since those regarding the replacement bands are old and scattered
Got an Honor View 10 from John Lewis yesterday and was lucky I pulled the trigger yesterday because the price went up from £339 to £449 overnight. I haven't opened it but just wondering whether not having OIS is going to be a permanent thing and also is Bluetooth going to be updated to 5.0 if it isn't a hardware issue?
anyway Honor have answered me, Bluetooth is permanently on 4.2 as its a hardware issue. The OIS stuff they have forwarded to their R&D department.
same here, got it for 339£, have it unopened while I contemplate what to do next. johnlewis has an amazing 35 days return policy.
no eis update is a sure return for me
Who cares about eis... I make awesome videos just the same.
And they come out just fine.
I'm loving mine
Even put my s8+ in the desk drawer
It's like talking to parakeets
Squak Squak.. No eis Squak whaaa
Sooner or later it will be fixed
Go on spend 1000 sterling pounds dollars.
I'm laughing and making awesome videos

nolia what about yours one?
Ois so far has posed no problems for me, just have to remember that decent lighting is required for quick response of the camera, other then that the dual shooter is fantastic imo.
Can I ask the difference between Bluetooth 4.2 and 5.

bluetooth 5 allows you to connect 2 devices simultaneously e.g you can connect 2 bluetooth speakers and stream music to both of them. In 4.2 its one or the other, it will show there is 2 bluetooth headphones/speakers but you have to chose 1.

Please let me know if you decide to open yours, will do the same. I wish it comes with the EU plug it would work better for my ends.
p.s.
congrats on the deal, I was keeping an eye on amazon at £369.99 until it run out of stock.
Following day CPW had it on the website at £339.99 for 2 days, I was literally ordering it when the price went up to £449.99 I think it was.
Johnlewis luckily had it in stock at £339.99 and I pulled the trigger. I knew JL was going to amend the price and bam it did the following day, following CPW 's foodsteps eheheh.

yeah they follow each other haha. The note 8 dropped at CPW and bingo John had it at the same price. But anway, why so much emphasis on EU plug assuming u live here of course or u live in Spain lol
I will set mine next week when I go home, doubt would return it. I have read a lot of positive reviews and some neg but overall positives trounced the negatives.
I'm based in London but will likely move to Europe for work reasons within weeks
The official announcement for the Moto Z4 is only for the US. Do you think there is hope for a European model soon?
In this FCC leak (https://www.xda-developers.com/motorola-moto-z4-play-specifications-fcc/) it said that a version for Europe is planned. But many German websites claim that this is a US only phone. But they don't cite any source for this claim.
Would like to know whether I should still wait or buy something else. Thanks a lot!

Well that's just stupid. On the other hand, Moto Z4 does support bands B3, B7 and B20. So it's still possible to import.
Hope it's not their final decision. The way it's written looks like there's a door open.
As for importing - no warranty and an extra $/€/£ 100 or so for shipping(unless a buddy brongs one for you) makes it a tough decision.

You're right. Suddenly a Moto Z3 Play with that battery mod included for 250 eur seems like a sweet deal. Also, I'm interested what Xiaomi Mi A3 will bring to the table
I've researched. It will only cost me $ 20 to get it where I live. Now the question is if it does indeed support the right bands for over here.
I'd also wait for some other offer, preferably a battery, as I already have the 360 camera mod.
You can check all the bands here at the bottom of the page: https://www.motorola.com/us/products/moto-z-gen-4-unlocked
If this Z4's low performance with high price, I don't think this model will good-sale in Europe.
Low performance with high price? Isn't it other way around? Which other phone offers 128gb storage, 6.4" screen display, night vision camera, headphone jack, in display fingerprint reader and micro sd card for under $500? Not even going to bother mentioning the added benefits of mods.
Excellent camera!?
What I have found Z4 has better camera, than for example Google Pixel 3a. In my mind way better video camera.
Is there any other Motorola phone, which has that camera? And is it really possible Z4 is not coming to Europe?
Really want to buy this phone so I can replace my z play. Hope it can be sold to other countries and release a dual SIM version.
I've ordered it, should be here soon. Hopefully all works as expected.
I am from Germany and were lucky to have got the rare opportunity to get a second hand Z4 from Germany. So no import charges and no expensive shipping cost.
I have not regretted the purchase yet. No problems with frequency bands, connection and so on. I really like the phone. What I noticed, especially, is that it is very much less sensitive to signs of use like scatches or similar. With all my former Z Series devices, I could at least see scratches at the frame very quickly - even although using a bumper most of the time. With my Z4, I only use a StyleShell for the back with zero protection for the metal frame at the sides and still not one single scratch. Wonderful!
No warranty is not really true. The truth is, you will have warranty, but you will have to send it to the USA then. I can not imagine that shipping a little box only containing a flat mobile to the USA could be that expensive. For warranty, you only have to send in the mobile and nothing else. So warranty claims will only become more complicated. But for me, Z4 is worth that risk and inconvenience.
And after all: Z4 is a REAL battery beast!
Well I've got it. All works as expected. First impressions are really good. Still getting used to the taller aspect ratio.
I also seem to have gotten the amz one. Don't mind the few mb bloatware. I just wonder if software updates will be as usual or further delayed?

According to reviews use of StyleShells is one of the biggest drawbacks with Z4, as they don't fit to the frame as nice and seamless as on previous Z models. I'm also using StyleShell on permanent basis and while it maybe not so big issue with some of the bigger and shortly used mods, it seems like showstopper to me if there is a gap and StyleShell doesn't fit well. Would you be so kind to clarify this? Maybe you can make some photos of your StyleShell attached?
