I upgraded using the globaltron method for the wifi tablet.
1. I can't get the English US language, only English UK. Any way to get it?
2. My tablet thinks its the EU version, and has things like SIM Unlock and Mobile Networks in settings. Any way to remove this?
3. When I turn off wifi, I see "no service" in my notification bar. Any way to stop this? Will this drain my battery?
Thanks so much.
EDIT: Yup Cell Standby is hitting up my battery for a serious amount.
Common problems, do a few searches in the forum, you will find answers awaiting.
Good luck

To change ROMs do I just wipe and flash like any other device, or is there a special process since it's HC?
You used, my method to upgrade so it is that simple.
Also flash from recovery:

I had the same problem. Download "MoreLocale 2" from the Android Market. From there you can force the US English (the only real way to speak English). It is a quick fix not involving hacking and reflashing ROMs.

On most Android (and other) phones I have used there is some form of indicator which tells you that the phone is charging (even when the screen is off).
Is there an app available to achieve this on the defy. When the screen is off and the phone is on charge it's impossible to tell that it is actually charging.

Thanks guys. Great app indeed. But little too much for what I need. Plus, it wants access to my network, messages, phone and a lot more. All I want really is something that tells me my phone is charging.
Thank you anyway
Jean-Luc,
I use Lefefy and it DOES what you ask for, and it also gives you an accurate state of the battery with a nice round look in the status bar.
Also, it can turn the Defy LED on in blue when you put the phone to sleep while still being connected in Wifi or Bluetooth (a situation you might want to avoid in order to save battery).
LeDefy does all of this ... for free !!!
These russian guys did a a great job.

If you are not getting a proper external IP - then that app hangs for about two minutes.. and then anyway displays your at least internal IP if you anyhow got any..
I guess you couldn't wait for two minutes and declared that the app crashed..

As I see my presumption was 100% correct - nothing Canadian in your handheld.. CID #44 - a typical unbranded Asian model.. That's anyhow not bad at all..
Further I see the smartphone is getting its internal IP what we may interpreter as there is no problem with WiFi hardware, it performs OK..
There is some misconfiguration (misunderstanding) between the handheld and the router.. this is why I advised you to try connecting to some secure AP..
Then If no lack - just do the factory reset on the spot and try connecting again to that secure AP..

My HTC One max cannot connect on the WIFI at my home after I updated to 4.4.2. At first I can connect when I was on 4.3 then I update it and successfully installed. The problem turned out when I reset my phone and suddenly I cannot connect to my WIFI anymore, on my office it can connect and only in my house cannot. Any idea how it can be fixed?
Appreciate and thanks in advance for the help.
Try this - http://android-revolution-hd.blogspot.ae/2014/02/how-to-fix-wi-fi-htc-one.html
Open Settings panel and click on the "Wi-Fi" tile
Tap on the "3 dots" menu in the upper right corner
From the list select "Wi-Fi Direct"
You will now see that your device is called "Android_ed2c". Tap on the "3 dots" menu in the upper right corner
From the list select "Rename device"
Replace the "Android_ed2c" with the "HTC One" text and hit "OK" button

I can connect thru wifi on my office but in my home cannot. I been using an Etisalat Router WPA.
Actually I dont have idea to config it since it was not mine and we are just sharing by my flatmate. If ever I will root this and install custom ROM, possible to fix this problem? what ROM can you recommend running on 2.49 hboot.
Dude thank you so much actually since my last HTC butterfly i already stop rooting because i got so very busy now on my work, need also to review the rooting / s-off techniques nowadays.

oh mate, you should have s-offed before the update.. we don't have an s-off for hboot 2.49. well i think we don't have a solution for this thing with custom ROM's. been a bug somewhere, the best solution is to re-configure your router.
we ill do this mate, get in touch with me (PM/skype) over the weekend and i ill try to help you reconfigure your router while maintaining the backward compatibility of WPA so your roomy will not have a problem

i am confident that this will be fixed by HTC, this was the the big reason why the updates to kitkat for the original HTC One was delayed and HTC seems to have managed to fix it, atleast for the HTC One. I was thinking that this update would have fixed it and sadly not.
The original HTC one received 4.19.401.8 initially and then later on received 4.19.401.11 which fixed the WiFi issues.
i am hoping that HTC will do the same for the MAX too.
On a second thought, we could try pulling the files from that update and see if that fixes them.

well, his router was configured with only WPA, seems like the latest software was not so nice with WPA.
Set it to wpa/wpa2 and it was all good.
Ok so I have 3 major problem with this phone, I ordered this phone online and I don't think its a US version since I have a bunch of Chinese/Japanese apps...
first problem that really bugs me is that sometimes the signal disconnects randomly and I have to do a manual search (Settings/more/mobile network setting/network operators) to get it to work. I have t mobile all my settings are set to tmobile ... I don't know because its a foreign phone the radios aren't meant to work with us careers or the problem is from something else ...
Second problem is (this only happened to me twice) over the night my battery drains out.
Third problem is sleep of death, after the last update it only happened once but I want to know if anyone else is experiencing this.
over all I think this phone has good quality built but the software optimization is as good as a beta!
Do you have any ideas? Is there any US version or close to US version android system for this phone that I can install without rooting? Something with asian apps

I have this phone since yesterday but I can already tell you, that from what I know, there is no official version for the US market, yet...
I read something about a version comming up for Verizon I think. Anyways, this could explain your network connection problems. I would imagine that Z2 should offer a world wide network support, but perhaps it is not in this case.
The network problems could explain also battery drain. If the signal is bad or the phone keeps searching for network, the battery will die rapidly.
What I can recommend is to try and run the repair phone option from Sony Suite that you install on your pc or mac. It will wipe and reset your phone but also update firmware, if applicable.
If this does not help, then you will either have to return the phone or wait for some US firmware including US modem versions for the phone.

First of all - check did you got Sony Z2 or Chinese copy.
Try to check IMEI with Sony.
Second...
Z2 is quad bend device and it'll work on all continents but if you got Chinese only version (apparently it's a bit bigger, only few mm, I saw that info in screen protectors thread) then you are screwed.
I had many signal problems when I flashed German, UK, Italy....any other firmware except t-mobile fw from my country.
I had same problems, no 4g, signal lost every few minutes and battery drain (device is trying to connect to network but it can't and that's killing battery).
What you can do is (!first check do you have original Z2! - Otherwise you could brick your device)
Download few firmwares and try...
It would be best if you could find Global Generic firmware but I'm not sure there is Global for Z2.
Wipe all!
That's important to get rid of all Chinese apps and letters.
Yes, you'll lose data but who cares...
You need working device, right?
Not device with your data which cannot connect to network...
Test one fw by one and you'll find what's best for your region.
You don't have to root device, just enable develiper menu in settings and enable usb debugging.
Download flashtool (v16) and flash firmware by firmware until you find the best for you.
There's a big chance LTE won't work on those fw...
You'll have to wait for US firmware because of baseband files...
Battery will be OK after that..

try the best which suits you ,if u go for india there are some pre-installed apps which u may like or not
i did not tried any new FIRMWARES ,try countries like uk because english is the standard there
in flash tools uncheck wipe data so your old data will not be lost , but installing fresh firmware with wipe is best
what is sleep of death
if its something like you cannot wake up your phone for example when you recieve a whatsapp message and cannot open screen I have the same ****ty thing
I installed Canada version ... I'm gonna test it for a day
Thank you all for your help guys

Did u find any background running apps from Canada version this may decrease ur battery
I do try to switch of lte which eats battery
Try to find in Canada firmware for does anybody has the same problem
I have an extremely poor reception in Canada. I bought my Z2 in Hong Kong and it is on 17.1.1.A.0.402. So does flashing to 17.1.A.2.55 fix this reception issue?
Flashing no firmware will fix your reception issue
Infact most of the issues the Z2 has is caused by google due to Z2 running 4.4.2, 4.4.2 has alot of base module issues and they are not present in 4.4.3 or 4.4.4
Reception issues seem to be common globaly, this apears to be 402 firmware, 55 and 69 both have no issues to do with mobile reception, or at least to me i haven't seen any

Whenever sony releases 4.4.3/4.4.4 you should have alot less issues
4.4.2 android we all know its self has some issues
Im quite sure 402 firmware its self is generally buggy, not so in noticable ways but underthe system you could say
