how do you guys like this phone? - Sony Xperia Z Ultra

and you can leave comments about the camera out,i have a regular camera so i dont care about the camera,how is the screen? is it bright and visible in daylight? and is phone nice and fluid with custom roms on it? thanks

To answer the op, yes, the phone is a great device and I highly recommend it.
That said, I advise you use Kitkat or a custom Kitkat rom.
Whilst Lollipop offers eye candy, battery life is worse and there are bugs here an there.
Kitkat is more fluid, no memory or battery drain and bug free.
Once Lollipop has been updated to 5.01 or 5.02 it should iron current bugs.

Now, now children... Play nice.
As for the OP, read the post above mine. This is pretty much the overall opinion regarding the device. I'd recommend the gpe version but alas I have not handled the Xperia one. Albeit, the interface of stock Xperia stuff is quite nice (had it on a T and a Z before this).
You can't go wrong with it and it is dort cheap nowadays.

Yea, I have both. I actually like the z ultra more due to the size. 1st Android phone for me was the og note 1. Just have around 1 week with it and love the z ultra. My only complaint is battery life on the z ultra. But still my daily since I got it.

I am getting ~5hrs SOT with medium usage and a bit gaming (cm12 + my kernel), i'd say the Ultra does pretty good.

well with the note 3 i get about 4-5 hr SOT with heavy to moderate usage. on the z ultra, i get about 2 hrs lol. but still choose this over the note 3 as i have chargers at work, car and home. Screen is good in daylight, just bump up the brightness.

I haven't honestly measured sot but I get substantially more than 2 hours. The big thing is not how long but rather doing what. Touch screen drains the battery substantially more than simple sot such as watching a movie. This is something that has been like this since the first Z came out...
I have no issues using it outside either.

The most important thing is to never maximize brightness. I mostly keep it at half of the maximum, which is mostly enough.
My kernel is not released yet, still in testing stage. But i can tell that qcom's mpdecision kernel/userspace hotplug service uses a lot power, as it constantly boosts the CPUs frequencies.

Just to be on the safe side, I'd go for the gpe version as I believe it supports more bands. I know mine has no issues with tmo LTE (haven't tried it with att)

I was one the same boat as u...I have ATT LTE as well and was doing research before I bought it. I originally thought I got a gpe as I need LTE on ATT and read that only the GPe had the ATT LTE band, 17 I believe, so I bought the C6806, found out it was a SONY C6806 and not a GPe C6806, see attached pic for LTE bands

Don't jump to conclusions yet, wait till May 3rd for actual details.
I want to know if the GS3 att will be like the HTC One X. No quad core in place of LTE.
I guess we will get that answer if they say the GS3 is LTE capable. It would suck to wait months only to find out we arent getting the goody like the rest of the world.
Damn, those specs make my laptop cry of jealousy.

Actually, I'd be ok with having a bigger screen, but only if the extra screen real estate will replace the bezel around the phone.

This.
I would love to have a nearly bezel-less phone. I measured with a ruler on my S2, and if the screen is edge to edge like some of the concept pictures, a 4.8 in display will fit on it without increasing the phone's footprint at all. This is what I'm hoping and praying for...
It may just be the announcement for the Galaxy Tab 19. We all need a 19 inch tablet.
Impressive, indeed. Though when I'm available for an upgrade, we'll all be waiting for the GS4 to be announced. Oh well, I just got my GS2 a few months ago and wouldn't want to give it up yet. Besides, the screen size on the GS2 is as big as I'll ever go.

I completely agree. My Captivate was the perfect screen size and I've made due with 4.3 but anything larger is just getting too large. There really does need to be more focus on battery life more than anything. I have many friends that would like to get a smart phone but they think charging the phone every day is too much... and I completely agree.

That is quite a chore, you have to plug it in and set it down. And if that wasn't enough you have to unplug it in the morning. Just terrible.
I am tempted to mod my phone to use a TouchStone, it is really convenient on my TouchPad. I heard the GS III might have inductive charging built in.
I just hope TW 5 or what ever they use is not only themed a lot more like stock ICS, but also portable to the S II.
I am also hoping for a bigger screen with a smaller bezel. Like the ONE X, but with thought out buttons.

3 months and no custom roms, recovery whatsoever

Utterly disappointed. Jumped the gun and bought an N4 instead.

1. The device has been out for around 1 month, i.e. delivered to customers. It began to reach customers at the beginning of August and it was introduced on June 25.
2. Custom recovery is almost finished according to the latest posts.
3. We have root.
So I would say that it has progressed nicely, kindly remember that Sony rolled out the C6802 on a limited amount of markets, the wide release will be with the C6833 this month and that is when the ROM development kicks off.
So you are wrong, unfortunately. Expecting a lot of ROMs for a device that has been rolled out in a limited way, i.e. excluding Europe etc and that has been out for a month, mostly as an import is a bit naive. Usually, it takes a broad release before those things kicks off.
Also notice that the Ultra is a niche device unlike the Nexus 4 which has a lot of "mainstream appeal" due to its size and price. So comparing the Ultra with the N 4 and complaining is apples and pencils.
I knew that the Ultra had a limited rollout when I bought it and that the first step would be root and that development would start in September when the C6833 reaches customers and limited action initially - so I have not even considered another device.
It is necessary to understand what it means to buy a new device that is only available in a few markets.

The LTE model (perhaps the other models too, dunno) has not had its release yet in many countries. When I got my dads htc one in my hands there was no kernels, a few roms, no mods ..nothing fun. About a month later the forum got a few kernels and roms but the developers where there so I rooted the phone it with revone in Linux mint and installed insertcoin.
And WOW, I just checked out the htc one forum ...it is filled with threads for various roms and mods now! Don't worry, It's coming sooner or later for the Z ultra
I usually wait for a while before I get a device in order for the ROMs and kernels to appear but the Ultra with its unique screen and size made it too hard - I saw now that the first recovery that works seems to be posted over at Original Android Development.

This phone just release HSPA+ edition start from 1/August. Until now only one month. And only few selected country is out. The LTE version wise is not even get release.
Which country you stay where this phone already release 3 months?
You keep your N4 fella.
We all wish you many happy years with it.
Yes it's slow. I bought htc butterfly s and xperia z ultra at the same time. (They announced at the same countries)
...but it's ok just because we already have a news about Cyanogen ! What can be more cooler than that !!!

you couldn't even afford it if your next choice is N4
Choosing between a 4.7" or a 6.44" device is odd, to put it mildly. To me, it isn't even a competition, the logical choice would be a Nexus 7 then.

I did not choose the N4 for its screen size or specs, i chose it because it allows me to flash custom roms and kernels. In singapore the LTE model is already released. Perhaps what you guys said is right, this thing has not yet seen a major worldwide release, ive seen the SZU in real life and its the best phone ever, im able to fit 2 S2s on it so perhaps in a few months when customs are available ill purchase one, but for now? Nah
Are you kidding?? LOL.. The official availability is September worldwide dude!

It's a snapdragon 800 device, and it's been a real pain in the ass the last couple of days to try and find a method to manually compile boot.img etc.
- We won't be able to start kernel development before I finished this (I probably have once I get a file I requested from Kali or bin4ry)
- second, setting up a device tree for a complete new board like MSM8974 which has changes from Qualcomm isn't easy!
Just have some patience and don't blame the devs, we are doing whatever we can to provide stock image with recovery etc at the moment
Dont warrant yourself because of such a fool. He'll be one of the idiots who blame you then why vou've spend the 2 mins for this post, and not for pushing your dev work forward.
They should stop whining, and do it better on their own or get the hell out of here.
Roms are not about clients, contracts and payed work, so for everybody it should be more then natural to cherish the efforts in it.
Keep up the good work, and don't feel the comments of useless retards as a judgement of your dev-work.

Samsung galaxy s5 hit 18k before an unlock but money shouldn't make to much of a difference I'm sure the people who brought us root are working on it though
They recently fixed some twrp stuff for the D851, just hoping they're next target is unlocking bootloaders but only time will tell

Ya I stopped buying Samsung, because it took 18k to root the damn thing, way to locked down, kills the fun. But being over $2300 in just over 11 days isn't too bad. That Samsung bounty went for a very long time. There were also a few people who individually pledged huge amounts of money. I really loved the specs for the S5, and the battery life.
That is until I heard about the LG G3. This phone is amazing. You know how a phone no matter how good it is, always has just one major fault? Sadly the only thing keeping the G3 from being the "perfect" phone is the QHD screen. Although I consider it a fault, this is also a plus, I would much rather have 1080p and the extra screen battery time, thank god for my extra batteries and charger, I swear I get total phone anxiety paranoia if I don't have a removable battery. However I am getting 35-40 hours between charges, but thats only when I have about 3 hours screen time in that span. I run at 50% brightness, and the screen gulps battery. Other than that the battery is amazing! This is without using ART too. This thing would last days without the QHD screen.
Did anyone ever figure out what apps needed to be freezed to get ART functioning?
I wonder if Adam Outler would be willing to look at this phone.

Well I've heard it's only among Verizon variants so probably a Verizon app that's causing it, I wanna know what type of crash it is
And even if ART worked, I couldn't use it yet. I use apps that have compatability issues
It's easy to debug an error, if I had a recovery I would take the fall and see what's causing issues on ART for us but I've already had to factory reset once and I don't wanna do it again

Lets See What We Can Do
Ok well I have seen some posts from different people about various RE skills so lets get to work and do this thing. I have done this kind of thing before but have never pulled apart an android image. I know PBL boots SBL1 boots SBL2 and RPM but I do not know the addresses that these are loaded into and executed from. I have attached the SBL1.idc file that will create the IDA database for the SBL1. This needs to be base relocated to the correct address but that is an easy adjustment when we know where to put it.
One of the first things the SBL does is switch to various ARM modes (supervisor, fiq, irq, etc) and sets the stack pointer to 0xF8002000 from there is branches off to 0xF8041F00 (thumb) but since I do not know the memory map I cant track that down. Also it looks like there is some relocation code in there. Code that copies chucks to other locs. There also appears to be some signatures near the end of the file.
If anyone can help me flesh out the database that would awesome. Even loading addrs info would be great. By the way their are a ton of juicy strings in there , this makes the process of RE much easier.
N.B.
I did not create the Stack segment yet as I want make sure this is loaded to the correct address first. There may be some gaps in code still (like the very middle, but I think that is all supposed to be relocated) but it is mostly all disassembled.

Opinions / problems ?
Hey "tovarasi" :good:
Can you share your insight after using this phone for a while ? I was thinking to buy one. Any problems so far? Did you root and flash your device?
Is it easy to get back on stock?
I currently have HTC one Mini and after flashing a few roms I started having some call problems ...I've sent it to Vodafone, maybe they will be able to stock it back.
Anyway, how's the battery life ?
Despite of its bloatware, the LG G2 runs amazingly smooth and you can end up with around 5 to 6 hours screen on after 24 to 36 hours of usage
Romanian forums provides some confusion regarding its quality due to the fact that, you know, plenty of online markets sells phones as second hand, refurbished, returned and I'm afraid that some of them have had lots of previous owners, the policy is simple as stupid, use it and return it back if not satisfied... Crap
So, be careful from where you buy and a warranty should be provided as well
Good luck and thanks for visiting our thread

Thanks for the reply. I've read something about overheating battery/device and this is causing some flickering on the display. Have you experienced any of this ?
CEL is selling this for 1449 Ron http://www.cel.ro/telefoane-mobile/telefon-mobil-lg-g2-16gb-black-l/ seem to be a good price.
I would expect another 3-4 months, maybe the price drops but afraid I won't find it in stores. Hate how they are pushing bigger and bigger screens! I like it for the 3.000 battery and has a better chipset than HTC One at the same height and weight
No, never happened and here where I live it is quite hot, the phone battery running at 35 and cpu 50 all the time
But I've heard people having issues, mostly those second/third/fourth hand and those manufactured last year
Mine is from January, absolutely no problems and I flash roms almost every day
You can expect for the price to drop as from November especially when more devices will be out, nexus 6 that I'm waiting for and others, so may be cheaper but atm the price is decent and correct
The way LG made this 5.2 screen is amazing, the phone is well balanced and handy, I use it with the same feel as Nexus 4 that is 4.7 inches

Thanks for your input guys. I'll wait and see what happens with my One mini and then decide.

First of all, NEVER let your phone reach less than 15% of battery and never let it charge overnight.
Li-Ion batteries have the longest life when charged between 30% to 80%.
Second, please delete this ethnic forum, it has no place on XDA.

First, you can't install a custom ROM without rooting
Because, to install a custom rom you need a custom recovery which can be installed only if you have root access
To root use ioroot25 if you have kk ROM and then install autorec which will gave you recovery, then, the fun begins
For remote control I think you need to check the company which produces Genius, if is not there then...

I think genius is genius... Isn't in the list

Z3V - Verizon variant discussion

Since the Z3V is on its way we should have a place to discuss news and rumors for us VZW users. I for one am really looking forward to getting this phone. I own a PS4 so remote play is a huge plus.
When do you think it will release?
How much do u think it will cost on and off contract?
Will it be fully unlockable? (AOSP/CM?)
Keep it clean guys, let's not make this a comparison to other phones thread.

good luck lol
T-mobile's been generally nice with unlocked bootloaders, but their Z1s variant is bootloader locked and they refuse to unlock it
http://support.t-mobile.com/thread/70666
I am also looking forward to the Z3V. It was about time for a Soy phone on Verizon.
PCMag mentioned that it is supposed to have wireless charging and it should have support for VoLTE,
I am pretty sure that it will go on sale sometimes in October.
When the Z1s released on T-Mobile it was $599 to $650 off contract but I think that Z3v will const more becuse Verizon is greedy.
$699 is my guess.
Verizon phones are never unlocked so I don't think that Z3V is going to be unlocked.
Yeah its such a shame we can't get unlocked phones on VZW. Its the main reason I won't buy another Sammy phone. I think the remote play will make up for it though. Let's try to keep any info that comes along here. I sure hope the phone comes out before the end of October in the US

Nobody knows what it's going to look like because it hasn't even been officially announced for Verizon yet.
It won't look like that render. If you really believe that, you are kidding yourself.
Then again, Verizon couldn't possibly be that horrible. Or could they?

Never ever assume things couldn't possibly go downhill from where they are. Fate will attempt to prove you wrong out of pure spite.

of course it won't look exactly like that, but my point is that it will likely have some Verizon branding on the outside. it's been known vz likes to slap on their logos on anywhere possible. iirc even on some of their other android phones they have reload their own verizon styled SMS client.. heck, they even decided to tack on a "V" on the phone model.. Z3V .. does not justify reason to not get the phone, but just pointing it out
I got an email today allowing me to pre register. The email only had the TMo logo in it but no sign of VZW. Hope to get more info soon.
I haven't decided on my next phone yet, but the Z3V is definitely on my radar. Most of my rooting experience so far has been with Samsung devices and my current primary phone is a rooted/ROM'ed Note2. I recently bought a couple of Xperia Plays off of eBay (mainly to play games), and I've enjoyed learning about flastool, ftf's, etc... Even though it's an older phone, I'm still impressed with the Xperia Play's overall quality and I like how it seems that Sony is pretty supportive of Android development. If the Z3V allows the bootloader to be unlocked, then I may take the plunge and get one.

I'm in the same boat...currently I have a VZW Note 2 on BeansROM. Thought I was a lock to go to the Note 4 but it might be a hair too big...plus the S5 was locked down tight for a long time so I am guessing the N4 will be too. I can probably live without ROMs but I want root.
The early reviews, especially around real world battery life have got me thinking Z3.

Yeah, it'll either be a new moto x or z3v for me... Assuming the rumors about it coming to Verizon are true, at least. Fingers crossed!
Yeah...it's this or the Turbo for me.
Really want this though for the remote play and build quality.
Z3v confirmed from Verizon rep
Received confirmation today from my Verizon rep that the Z3 is definitely coming. Their Sony rep came in today and said news coming very soon.
