Very hard to flash to GPe. Many bricked their phones doing so.

You can try flashing the tweaked GPE version from XDA. It is fast n easy just flashing from recovery. All the write issues to ext Sdcard is resolved. You need not even to wipe data.. But i didn't like it n flash back to stock kitkat using flash tool

Normally i wear tight pants...
that is my only concern...

This phone is too big n you will feel uncomfortable in it...i have zero issues with pocketing it as mine are baggy with deep side pockets. I can even fit in a 7 inch tablet eg Nexus7 n Tab7 without problems

nice. i think i will be going for the tweaked version. i need the R/W permission.
thanks btw. thumbup.gif

I have one serious issue with the tweaked version as quite often it show I have insufficient storage to install app. And I still have 6gb space left inside internal memory. I Google's n tested out all available solutions but problem persists.
In the end I gave up n flash back to stock kit Kat using flashtool.

Sales of XZU is too low to have Sony releasing an update model...if you want a big size phone just consider lower specs T2

I am really interested in this phone. May I ask what is the common problem on this phone ? How does it compare to like Note 2 or 3 ?
*
I have no problems with it
Vs Note2, Note3 its claimed writing ability is poor. Brief short words are OK n not long sentences. Pencil will work n only some ball point pen

It lacks a flash LED at back n due to its waterproof features phone speakers are much softer.

Overall performance comparable to Note3

RM1699 for original set is already low n good price for its specs.
I feel not worth buying AP due to uncertainties in warranty claims

Decided to flash back to GPE firmware n this time I don't see anymore storage insufficient errors to install app.
Switch to ART n I must say very impressed. Apps open much faster n whole phone seems smoother too. Yet to find any app incompatible with it..at least so far all my commonly used apps had no problem

Just would love to confirm with other user; does sony need it product to register for warranty like samsung or htc.
Check on previous thread, but no one mention of this.

Just warranty card and receipt, then that all goes in case needed it in the future , right?
*
Not necessary to register. Registering is only good for email notices from Sony n you will get many of these
As long as is local authorized distributor Sony will accept with receipt shown

Sounds like a bug. Any permanent solution ?

Never faced such an issues on the official kitkat and 2 other custom roms I have tested.. I think is probably some of his apps issues causing such a problem. All my apps are official ones from playstore

If I buy the phone now it will be loaded with kitkat or jellybean ?

Most probably on 4.3 . My friend just bought an unit 2 weeks ago. Again depend on seller's stock position. No correct answer at this point. He was prompted immediately to update once he switched it on

Most probably you have inserted your simcard in wrong direction. Take out n try again

Posted on xda but not much traction, maybe some here can help

I'm currently running .257 (4.2.2) on my ZU

- Rooted
- Dual recovery installed (CWM/TWRP)
- TA backed up
- Locked bootloader
- Stock rom
- I have Androxyde's Flash Tool

Question:

Can i just pop in any custom ROM (4.3 or 4.4.2) and just run with it through CWM?
Or do i need to have some other preps done before making these upgrades?

Would appreciate any answers to help with my questions, as there is so much information now that it can get confusing...thanks!

Your bootloader must be unlock first

by the way,did u encounter this issue before?
i tried to connect to a WPA 2/PSK wifi,it will not work.
my friend's android phone they all work fine,but it can connect to other network just fine.
after i put in the password it just says saved. i click connect then nth happen

Check whether your caps lock was on ??
If it is not on than likely problem is your boot.img file is problematic. Try reflash the rom using flashtool or just flash boot.img file in fastbootmode
If still fail then send in service center to check

Thanks mate,i'll try to look it up. the tools have to follow according to my firmware's version right?

There is only one version of flashtool n just download the latest version
You can safely flash any version of the ftf file ( any country) as long s is model C6833...try stick to Asian/Europe version for more assurance

Guys..
need opinion.
is it convenience to make this tablet as a daily usage phone?..
im looking at a sleek and thin design.
im narrow down to xperia T2 ultra and Z Ultra.
T2 Ultra, fit my palm just nice and the thickness no doubt melt my heart.. but apparently T2 lacks of many things..
now im looking for Z ultra.. but because the size no doubt is huge for a phone.. im in dilemma to choose which 1..
i dont want to be laugh subject when talking a call..

pls advice
*
No one will laugh as is now normal sight seeing people use large size phones
I am perfectly comfortable with it

Hmm.. Anyone changed their charging micro usb flap before? My ZU is definitely not waterproof now. Any place can we go to replace it and can it be done perhaps within minutes or an hour? And how much does it cost o.O

It only cost rm38 n on spot can be done if they have stock
Try at plaza berjaya jln imbi service center
