Hello friends,
after i "killed" my beloved O+ i want to try a Xperia Z2 ... i had already a Z1 and loved it BUT i don´t like the Sony UI! And it was "Unlocked Allowed - NO"
So, my problem is, i really would love to buy a new Z2, BUT, how can i find out, if its Unlockable? ... i mean, who is the bad "guy" who decides to lock the BL forever? .. is it Sony, or the Network Carriers?
Thanks in advanced friends!
Cheers
Markus
It's the carriers. Try to find one online. Where are you from?
Sony or Sonys 3rd party sellers are most likely to have unlockable bootloaders
I'm from austria!
So, if i buy one from a "open" mobilshop,it should have unlockable BL?
it should be. yes
Buy a brand free and simlock free one then you have it like i have ^^

Hi,
Currently I've got a xperia mini pro and now I wanted to know, if the xperia sola is a good phone. I think the specs are good and the price (ca 250€ in germany) is good, too.
But what do you think? I just want to root it, no bootloader unlock, no other firwares, for something like that I've got my mini pro. Just wanna play games, listen to music, use nfc tags and want a well running system.
Is there another phone, you could suggest me, which costs about 250€?
Thx in advance
Michael
Its an awesome phone..butter smooth....the camera is great. You can also show your friends some magic (Floating Touch)
Okay my brother will get one this evening so I can test it! Thanks :good:
Yes, This is a question but for comparation phones and I think it belogs here. If not, mods please move it
I'm buying ZTE GRAND X IN next week and I want to ask you what you think about it. Spec here
I might switch to it and give lww to my dad or vice versa if it receive JB. I read that it will get in March 2013 (this month)
So, what do you think. According to unboxing videos it has AOSP UI which I like it
Edit: And how about Xperia J? Same spec like our phones with planned JB update
xperia j doesnt have same specs
our phones are better
but zte is better

Well it has 1GHz single core, 512MB RAM, JB update (I'm mad at you Sony Xperia U is more better but it don't have JB)
J spec here
Odp: [Q] ZTE GRAND X IN vs Live With Walkman vs Xperia J
But J is too laggy for me. I have in my hands Xperia and ZTE. ZTE is super smooth, but I want my Mango

Why do you want the official jb? You could very easily use custom fw. if the phone has better specs, it will be smooth too.

If I can do it, I will done that with my LwW. I have locked bootloader and 90% I'm sure this phones will be locked too.
Ok. There isn't any jb rom for locked right?
Btw, you could try wotan server, (I know it's not free, but considering you have two phones with un-unlockable bootloader)
Back on topic, I would go with zte as j specs are almost like ours, except the jb part. (Heard zte was better.)

Jb roms couldn't run on locked bootloader coz sony didn't released any official kernel, rom or sources for jb for our phones and will never do it. So we need custom kernels for jb which obviously need an unlocked bootloader.
Press THANKS if I helped,
Best Regards,

Dont miss the ICON FARM!
Well, there is not even Z for ZTE GXIN and J anroid development forum is not that rich like this :/ I'll buy it but I'm not sure if I or my dad will use it
I don't know if this is bad news but ZTE Grand x In have x86 processor instead of ARM and some apps might be not compatible with it.

Hi to all xperia z2 users.
I have galaxy s4 currently and planning to upgrade my phone. I don't have a big budget but recently the price for xperia-z2 is dropped in eBay India (imported ones)
The other attractive phone for me is the xiaomi MI 4, I love their Miui 6. MI 4 is far cheaper compared to the xperia-z2 and specs are about the same.
So I am looking forward for your opinions on this Sony phone. Does it worth to buy. I heard Waterproof is not working for everyone. Is that correct?
Or shall I go for MI 4 or any other phones..
Edit : If anyone has any experience or suggestions on xperia z1 compact, please respond. I love that small beast.
Thanks in advance

In my opinion its worth buying because i personaly love the sony UI
i recomend Xperia Z1, ZU if your not wiling to pay for Z2
if not an Xperia Nexus 5 is definatly something worth it and if you can pay up for a LG G3 then its worth it
Oppo N7 and One+one are alternates which are worth it, with the One+ being better than the N7 in terms of other quality
the Water proofing with Xperia Z2 is only a problem with Defective units
any questions about a phone ask

Do you have any idea on the Z1 compact. ? about it's performance compared with Z2.
And also, does these xperia z series phones (especially black ones) have wears and tears (of finger) on the back panel ?
* I believe, this doesn't affect much in while color phones ?

Performance is simular, Z2 being slightly faster due to hardware but not by much due to firmware
Xperias dont realy ware easy exept the flaps/port covers
White colored or lighter colored phones dont realy discolor or smudge too much unless you dont wash your hands often :/
I think the best bet for a device that is good is wait for Z2 to get 4.4.4 at this point
The device is tougher than Z1 and has a overal improved feel than Z1, its also not as expencive as Z3 and with this new upcoming update (probably couple months max im guessing) then Z2 is definatly worth it
Id take it in black just because damage doesnt show as easy with me and my clumbsyness
Thank you Envious_Data. You are being helpful.

They definitely mention our (maybe) beloved Z Ultra successor, precisely model E6833.
Could this mean we'll have a Z4 Ultra this June/July? Oh please, please Sony, we're waiting!
If true, this is very good news. Hope that the new one is just as amazing as the current one.
Hello i like to know whether any Game lags on the Z2 and when will Z2 GPU become obsolete sort of?
I want to buy a used z2 or m4 aqua. M4 aqua white really makes me love it.
I know the m4 heats and games lag on it.
So what should i buy OLD z2 or brand new M4 aqua?
I hope the device wont break for atleast 1 year as well.

if I were you I'd buy the Z2 because it had better specs, and maybe it'll have longer update support than M4, because it's a Z series flagship model. but if you like the white M4, then buy a white Z3, it has the same specs as Z2, and has similar housing to M4. the Z2, Z3 have 3gb ram, the M4 have just 2gb, so the Z2 and Z3 are faster than M4, and they also have bigger battery than M4.
Thanks for the reply.
Hello does any game lags on the Z2? I mean it has a 2 year old GPU?
Is there anything i should know when buying an Old Z2?

2 year old Z2 is a better than newer phones. It was a flagship phone bro, with a big LED and big 3200 mAh battery and 3gb RAM. The only department were the Z2 suffers is from only 16gb internal memory.
So another question will the xperia Z2 and xperia Z3 get android N in 2017?

I think they will get it. They're flagship models and Z2 is just a 1 and half year old model. The Z get updates as a 2 and half years model
