Hi fellows,
I need to know what headset you received in the box with your Sony Z Ultra? I've seen different information online, where some even received the SBH20 bluetooth headset in their ZU box. What I'm interested in here is to get information from the owners of this device about what Z Ultra you have (C6833 / C6802, or some other variant) and what headset you received in the box (model #)?
Thanks in advance!
C6833 and came with the SBH20 inside of the phone box.
i never received a headset or headphones with my ZU for some bizarre reason!!!
I got sbh20 with uk lte ultra and got the watch inc but waiting for it till end of month.
Heard of the search function? quite cool thing, but seems it's getting to less attention then deserved.

Mr. Smarty pants! that's not the information I'm looking for. read my question again and then read the information on your referred post. I need to know the exact model of the headset that came with different ZU.

Your's is C6802 as well? So, it seems like C6833 comes with bluetooth SBH20 headset and C6802 comes with standard wired MH750 headset. Anyone received anything different? or not received any headset at all, like encryptioncsta.

No the C6833, have not received mine yet..don't know what the delay is.
Some stores has a special offer and include the SBH20 but I already have an MW600 that works great and Im about to buy a Plantronics Voyager Legend so It's no biggie for me

OK. so basically there is no set trend I'm seeing here. Perhaps it depends upon the country and/or the seller and there seem to be quite a few different bundles out there. Not sure if the ZU box that comes with SBH20 is any expensive than the one with MH750. This again would vary country by country...
I just received my z ultra. i wanted to know if you guys know where to locate the country of origin?

I don't know but I'm gonna reply anyway
Flip the box and check the address at the lower left corner. Mine says Sweden but I know it's a Dutch version. I am guessing the EU versions all come from Sweden.
This is an interesting question and I am curious to know the answer now

mine is also from Sweden. ordered it from Heavy Duty electronics from Evanston, Illinois
I got the MH750 with my C6833
I got the headphones and the charger with a US adapter. The charger caught on fire instantly though. Thankfully I didn't have the phone plugged into it.

Was it original sony charger that caught fire? If so i would suggest you let Sony know. That's freaky!

It was indeed the original Sony charger. However, I don't know if it was a result of the adapter or an issue with the charger itself.

My guess is yes, it was the adapter indeed: all Sony AC are 100-240V so you can simply bring with you your charger wherever in the world you want to go.
I guess the adapter was a faulty one, or it was a stepdown converter, in which case it wasn't necessary for the purpose, and may have been the cause for the first spark.
Or, the adapter was a really cheap one (when they include it, it always is).
In any case, you should let those who sold it to you and sort this thing out, you've been lucky enough to not have any damage, but what if it was near a curtain??

can anyone tell me if this headset will work with the TP2 and / or if there are any cheaper ones on ebay that will work with the TP2
thanks
Yes it will work.
Why don't you concider buying a converter for better quality earpieces?

oops...no, I believe that one is only for stereo audio out...I didn't realize you wanted it for calls too
That one you first saw is probably your best bet, they'll all be close to that price. And, most any that you see that say they'll work with another HTC model should work fine on the Rhodium, as they all use the same USB headset protocol.
so HTC Tattoo will be ok to use then?

I forgot to give you all feedback on the item... the first one arrived but the LHS earpiece didnt work, so i sent him an email and he sent out a replacement, which arrived very quickly like the first one. so it work really well now, and is/was the cheapest on ebay
Im very happy with it.
From what I could find it doesn't.. But just wanted to get a clear answer.
This is using the at&t one (not the mini)

Well, that was pretty clear
I was hoping to discover another feature I did not care about when buying the phone.
Is there any method to add this capability without hacking the thing open?

Get a mophie or some other wireless charging/extra battery case for it.. it'll obviously definitely add to the size/weight of the phone tho over a standard case.. I wouldn't get the cheap chinese one's off ebay tho, horrible things that don't last long at all.

I know this is a late post but have you ever used one of the "cheap chinese one's"? I've heard there were pretty good and I haven't heard of any of them not lasting. Just wondering.

Yeah ive tried 2-3 different Chinese ones, although admittingly they were for my iPhone and not the HTC one. They were great for the first month or two and then and then they all started having issues. 1 would fail to charge ever again regardless of charger, another failed to hold a charge for longer than ~4hrs, another would constantly cycle charging on/off while switched on and trying trying to charge the phone. Just had a bad experience overall and waiting a month+ for RMA is a bit much. Much better to get a legit one for these reasons at a place where you can RMA in your own country if you ever need it.

Oh! You meant the cases, not the chargers right? Sorry, that's where I had got confused , my bad! I was talking about the wireless charging pads/stations or whatnot.
Ah! Lol my bad, the wireless qi chargers work fine, haven't had any issues with those ^^

Does anybody use the Square credit card reader with the Z Ultra? It doesn't seem to be working, the app says it can't read the card no matter how many times you swipe. The same card works on the first swipe on my wife's Note 3. The reader and app used to work fine on my old Xperia Z, just not the Ultra.
I have rooted the Ultra, could that be the problem?
Any feedback would be great, as I use the Square reader for my business from time to time.
Thanks

Okay, so i just googled "Square reader not working on android" and it looks like a lot of people with a lot of different devices can't get it working. Not sure if it's Square's responsibility or Sony's since i've read one thing here and another there, so i'm not sure. I guess you can start by emailing Square and see what they say.
I use a card reader that I got from First Data and that doesn't work either. called the company and they gave me some bs answers and said it's a faulty headphone jack which I don't believe to be is the case. also tried it with the PayPal here card reader and no luck.

It might look like it's the OEM's fault. The jacks are fine, but they haven't implemented support for these "things". I don't know if a software update would enable this or if it's hardware. This is what i'm getting after googling, so it might be completely wrong, but a lot of LG, Motorola and HTC users are facing the same issue.
You guys should go to Sony's site and use the support chat and ask if they know anything about it. It's way quicker than emailing.

called Sony and they said that they've never heard of those kinds of devices and to make sure they are compatible with the correct TRRS standard version of headphone jack used. since Sony and Apple use the CTIA standard, that's not the problem since they worked on my iPhone. so now I'm back at square one. maybe someone else had a better idea. lol

It's just frustrating because it worked fine on my Xperia Z. Would the water proofing on the Ultra affect it?

Could be. The headphone jacks do not have the same type of contacts because they are waterproof.

I sent email to square and support confirmed latest reader works with ZU. It seems that new reader with ZU reads cards slower than my previous setup with N4. However it is working nonetheless, and ZU wont have to go back so I'm happy.

Common solutions to card reader issues
I recently had issues getting my card reader to work with my Xperia z1s. I went through lots of different channels, and finally decided that maybe just updating my app would fix the issue. Lo and behold, it did. Another thing to keep in mind is that the device uses your phone's audio function. If audio is off or turned down at all, the reader may not work.
Hope that helps.
Both old blue and new black PayPal Here readers don't work on Z Ultra (Android OS 4.4.4).
PayPal Here says Card Reader Connected, but no matter how I swipe the card, nothing happens.
Haven't upgraded to Android OS 5, but both readers works fine on Nexus 7 (Android OS 5.1) and Samsung Note Edge (Android OS 4.4.4).
Just upgrade my ZU to v5.1.1 recently, and PayPal black reader works.
Hello,
I have since yesterday the Smartband for my Z2 I like it and it works good.
The Smartwatch 2 is in my oppinion a nice gadget, and I am planning to get that one too.
But my question is, can I use both Smartband and Smartwatch 2 with my Z2 ?
Is the Z2 able to handle both connections?
Anyone tried that already? Dont want to get the Watch and I am then only able to use one of them.
Thanks :laugh:

I have an issue with the headphone jack. I use third party headphones (I dont have the stock Sony ones) and when I plug them in, the sound comes out of the phone's external speaker most of the time. I get the symbol in the status bar to say 'Headset connected'. Sometimes the sound DOES come out of the headphones but seemingly randomly! Tried different headphones and applications on the phone. I have used Sony's Update Service software to download and reinstall the latest ROM but this has not fixed the problem.. My Ultra is on 4.4.2, buildd number: 14.3.A.0.757
Anyone had this issue?
Thanks!
I didnt have this issue by my c6802 and a stock headphone with rom version as you have, before i heared some peaple had this problem with other version(lower build number,i think) maybe this is of your nonstock headphone. Why didnt update to newer 14.4.a.0.108? Maybe it disapear againe.

if you feel comfortable you could flash a generic FTF so you are on the latest 4.4.4 (xxxx.108) firmware from sony. You dont have to be rooted to do this.

Yes I could do that but only worth it really if it actuall resolves the problem. I had a Z ultra last year and that one didn't have this issue. I think I will give that 4.4.4 a go this weekend - do you know if it would affect warranty at all?

It might, depending on the service centre.
Have a search about speaker/headset issues, I think it only affected 4.4.2 and that was updated quite quick and resolved the issue for most people that had the problem

believe me it has for almost all users (the ones that haven't fixed the issue probably have a user error). there would still be outcry on here if it hadn't

happened to me after having xzu for 3 or so months - I got a new warranty replacement (had a 6802, received a new 6833 ftw)
This happened once last week when I plugged the stock earplugs in when I also received a message, and it played the audio through the external speakers. I unplugged it and plugged it again, and it was back to normal. Probably a glitch in the matrix.
I have a C6833 and this problem started a few months back with my device.
Now it happens about every time I pause the music. When I hit play or resume the audio is coming from the internal speaker so I have to unplug the cable and plug it back in and that solves the problem at least for the moment. Some days my device does what it suppose to do just great. And other periods it just sends the stream back to the internal speaker all the time whenever I pause the music.
I have flashed the latest .108 but problem still exists. It might be some error with the hardware what do I know. For now I won't take the time to send it in for service. Perhaps I will send it to repair right before my warranty expires just to make some use of it
I use the stock headphones, and some Apple just some generic Apple earphones that you receive in the box when you buy an Iphone 5 or later
I have the sbh52 and the headphones that came with that work perfectly so far. Apple earpods work some of the time and Astro A30s dont work at all. Whuch makes me think its software.
