Hello guys I moved on from oneplus one, thinking to buy a premium phone but the self cracking issue has put me into a fix.So what do you guys suggest, reasons for the issue, is it still prevalent.
I do gaming sometimes for 1/2 an hour.Should I go for g3 32gb?But I found that scrolling in app drawer is not so smooth

Self cracking issue i have no idea whats up because i had 3 Z2s which went through relatively extreme conditions for a standard device aka heating and cooling and none of the 3 "self cracked"
Z2 may only be 16GB but alows for a Expandable micro sd upto 128GB so storage
Slow app drawer is to be fixed in an upcoming 4.4.4 firmware update from sony
what about g3.Any suggestions?

perhaps you would want to ask that over G3 forums. Gather some G3 issues and fixes and then decide yourself to what premium phone to buy. Choose wisely. :angel:
G3 has so many issues, some people are saying they sold their G3s and went back to the G2, check their forums and you'll see

I dont know whats up, but some "self cracked" pictures show impact areas from where the device hit when dropped so self crack is exageration and or lies most of the time
So thats whats up with that
C'mon man, you ask if you should buy a Z2 or a G3 in a Z2 forum? What do you expect? People ar going to say Z2. Ask the same question in G3 forum, they are going to say G3. And so on.

Can't say that I love to many things aside from family, my girl, and my corvette..... Today I got my Zu and I can add it to the list. This phablet is phenomenal. There really isn't a better word to describe it. I've had all the best phones ever made and this one puts all of them to shame. Sure the camera and speaker aren't anything special but this screen and smooth performance helps you forgive that very quickly. Anyone on the fence about getting one get off that fence and scoop one up. You won't regret it.

It's indeed amazing :good:
Yeah, I usually take my Nexus 4 to work with me, since I'm too busy to actually use my phone at work and so it would be pointless to carry around the XZU, so I frequently have 3-4 day stretches in which I don't use the XZU. Whenever I switch back for school or off days, it's kind of like turning it on for the first time again. The change is so nice.

Congrats. I plan on getting the Z Ultra later this month along with the Sony power case. It'll be replacing my ancient Xperia x10a, and while it will be monsterous in my shirt pocket, it will be glorious to use.
I'll also be picking up a new VAIO Flip 13" model to replace my old Sony Tablet S. Between that and the Z Ultra, my mobile experience should be amazing!
The Z1 got the "Smartphone of the year" award and the Tablet Z got "Tablet of the year" award in Norway yesterday, so Sony is doing something right!

After using it for 3 days, i can say that i have my money well spent.
Pros:
1. Dat screeeeeenn..
2. Wifi range is superb, can go to second floor (where the wifi is on the first) whereas with my previous devices they can't detect it.
3. With its large body, surprising that it still fits into my chest pocket
4. Battery Life is good, even though not as strong as my previous razr maxx but that is expected
5. Can't wait to take a break with KitKat!
Cons:
1. Camera overprocessing.
2. No easy root method for now.. but i have migrated from Titanium Backup into Helium app so no biggie.. Only no mod for me now
O yeah i have some tips for battery life:
1. Don't install google aosp camera with gallery. It will take media scanning twice and preventing Stamina Mode to work
2. Turn off Google+ auto backup, or only allow it to upload while charging
3. Better to full drain the phone once and then charge it while it's off. But after that, please trickle charge it before it reach 50%
4. Don't use the phone while charging. Better to disconnect and then continue after you're done.

This phone is amazing. Just like many of you, I have used a lot of flagship androids - but this baby is special. Phenomenal display, smooth performance, no more messing around with pinch zoom and much less scrolling. Camera could have been better, but you'll get over it in no time. I'll eat my pride and share my darkest secret - I don't finally miss my 'buttery smooth' iphone 3G from 2008

It's not as bad as you think but it is better to not do so. Because if you use it while charging, the high temperature will degrade battery faster. So unless you know that your usage is low and not heavy, better to disconnect it and charge again after the device is cool again.

BatteryUniversity says so. It's like running while eating, or fueling your car while you're racing. Not applicable for jet fighter unfortunately lol but you got the idea.. but to some extent, i agree that light usage will not cause harm into your battery (much).

He asked if it's BAD to use the phone when it's charging, and let's be honest, it's not like you'll kill your battery within a week if you do it. Are you playing Vice City for 5 hours while charging? THAT might be bad in the long run. Checking the weather and FB a couple of times every hour? Not gonna matter.

Actually, there is a simple fix to improve and increase speaker volume.
I use the XZ1 Volume boost, it works wonders.
- Increased internal - external speaker
- Increased headphone volume
- Increased volume call speaker

Ps. You need to be rooted. Simply use CWM to flash the mod. Simple.
Couple of questions... I tried to take a small video and then a picture and my camera shut down immediately. Has anyone seen this behavior? The software said that the phone was too hot, but I didn't feel it overheating.
Next, battery life is much worse then the HTC m8 I am coming from.
Finally, I needed to get att LTE in the sun card and had a tough time getting that put on by the rep at the store. How do you guys get around the "Xperia phones don't get LTE crap?"

xperia devices vary
For some reason
Meaning that you have a posiblity of getting a faulty device .i recomend getting a replacement or wait to see if this is common xperia issue
LTE depends on your country , or sim provider
Battery drain may be caused by an installed app or a broken system process
I recomend getting a replacement Z2 becuause this is nowhere near normal behaivor
I've actually been able to solve all of my problems by doing a repair via PC Connection. Much of it had to be because of a rogue app.

good news:
most issues given can be fixed by "fixing your device" using Sony PC companion
This thred is to discuss the problems related to all faults in new xperia z2
Actully i owned a xperia sp which has many problems like
1 Ram managment
2 Touch issue
3 Not so good camera.
I have bought this phone on the 1st day of its launch and faced this problem since.
So this forum is to help those people who wanted to buy the xperia z2 but there are some problems in it. Like
1 speaker problem
2 camera quality
3 faulty manufacturing
So are these problems are only in few units or all z2 facing such problem.
So please share your experience so that other might get help to buy or to reject the xperia z2

So why cant sony........

I dont want to be rude, but this thread is pointless. What is RAM management?
First you list a potential camera problem as problem number 3. Then you instead change the numbering into "2". And doesn't faulty manufacturing which you list as problem 3 cover the other potential problems? And what do you mean by problem anyway? Speaker problem? Like is it bad sound quality... or is it low ringing sound.... or is it low volume on music....
What is the purpose of this thread? It's a phone, and you have warranty.

Exactly. Every manufacturer has some faulty phones. You either get a perfectly working one, which is HIGHLY likely, or you get one with some minor issue. Its the way of the world. I doubt any manufacturer has more faulty phones than the other.

Ram mangment is to keep the programme alive so as you can multitask easily. Every body buys the smart phone to use the multiple features of it but in xperia sp case it is not so if u want to search the web listen to music simultaneously u cannot do it one of task gets killed and it does not remains to music and browsing it also goes to gaming also the games get killed due to low ram.
This type of thing is comes under ram managment and if u spend your hard earned money about 24k in a smart phone u want some reasonable things from it as compared to other manufacturers phone.
And when u not get it u get disappointed.

Yes my point is also that but how could so many problem arises from sony only why not in lg or samsung.
Go there handset thread you get one or two threads discussion about the problem. But in sony case there is a list of problems so my point is that is it really wise to purchase the phone without looking into the problem or we can discuss it and choose wisly our product.

Buy the phone and enjoy it. The only overheating issue Ive seen is when recording 4K videos. Who cares about 4K video? The quality of recording a video with a phone have other limiting factors far greater than 4K resolution. I have a panasonic SD90 1080p video camera, and the quality blows any phone cam away even if I would record at only 720P with it.
My Advice:
I think you should buy this phone. I havent got the Z2 myself, but from what Ive seen, its the best phone out there. If there is a problem, you have your warranty. There is not any greater risk in buying this phone or lets say the S5, M8 or G2...
And again, you have warranty from Sony!
Seems like most of the problems of the z2 are related to the audio side of things, its a shame really.

I've had the fortune of owning a Z2 since Friday and it's been a treat. I had an HTC One M7 prior and I haven't looked back. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed my One especially it's audio. However, the Z2's audio is not any worse in my opinion. In addition, the camera is a very pleasant improvement for me. To be honest, there's not a thing I don't like about my Z2. I'd buy it again!
