i'm being reluctant now haha. cuz it's an old phone.

if you not worried about waterproofing or dust, just remove that piece

How to remove the piece..any instructions?

I'm not worried much about waterproofing, as I doubt mine still has it intact. I've replaced the screen twice already now

Cost of replacing twice can buya new set already

you need remove back cover, punch out the lens glass and stick back the back cover

note: since ald removed back cover, why not replace it, can get online via ebay etc...

Add on : don't forget to remove the NFC chip from the old panel as well.

Yeah I know. But what to do.. I like my ZU.

Ok, thanks. I think I'll replace the back cover as well. That punching out the lens glass sounds kinda scary.


Good point. Thanks for the reminder.

Ios9 on my sister ipad 4 did not lagged. Of course u do fell the lack of RAM though as everything will keep redrawing. Kinda the feeling I get with the z ultra.

The thing ifag updated their device is not because of lagged but they would totally handicapped the software on older devices. Ipad 4 did not has slide over, my iPad mini 2 did not has split view and no other ios devices can do life pictures for whatever reason. But at least an update is an update and it's much better than no updates.

The others main reasons is the apps, family plan is great, apple music is cheap. There's a weekly free premium apps and games and there's always a bundle or discount on games which does make it really really cheap.also the apps are updated constantly with new features and some Google app are actually much better on ios.

Then there's support. My old viao pro 11 has wonky drivers and every day it's bugging me. the battery draining while sleeping, the trackpad is horrible etc etc. Then there's the apple lacks in making stupid decisions. Sony make lot of those. No flash on the ultra, camera software, really low headphones output etc etc. Apple would also likely take care of everything from "dangerous" apps, tracking, privacy, and deleting compromise app from your devices

Apple bundle a lot of useless apps but at least they didn't ship with uninstallable 3Rd party apps like fb,office,antivirus that are there simply because Sony want a few bucks from these sponsor.

Warranty is another thing. My iPad mini motherboard Rosak.I send it back to sengheng and they give me new unit. While Sony will keep harassing the broken devices again and again trying to repair it and probably break the waterproofing or some other things leaving you without a phone for long periods in the processagain and again until u just give up.

Then there's smugness,1) in their hardware features, ohh look a nexus finally has thin metal body, chambered edge, fingerprint scanner, gold color,64 bit processor 2 years after the iPhone 5s. 2)their advertising is all about smugness

That the things about apple and something Sony need to do. Make your customers happy, not feeling shortcharge, smug and felt taken cared off.

Agreed with the cust service that apple provide...
Apple's cust service were almost like Lexus means while Sony's cust service were just typical...
BTW Sony might not continue its Mobile business after all...
One of the bad thing about Sony hp is the camera software tend to sucks compare to others...
Luckily Sony shares their binaries/resources that are important for Android Dev...
Anyway if comparing IOS vs Android, with Android u can hv any customization u like and IOS with newer updates....
Is always depending on the users....

help me.. help me..
i root my C6833 with kingroot, and success... but when i restart the phone, it keep boot loopn and restart. i try to press power & -volume or power & +volume, but not thing happen.

can anyone suggest to me, what i need to do. i really nob about android

worst case scenario : reflash firmware with flashtool and reroot again

reflash mean, fresh..? all data will be delete?

can you guide me? i already have
1. flash tools
2. C6833_14.4.A.0.108_1275-9426

so, can i reflash if cannot boot to android (power & -volume)?

this is preview from my flash tools

and the, should i choose flashmode / fastboot mode?

i would recommend delete all data, not sure about dirty flash (flash without wiping data, right side of flash tool)

flashmode

power off your phone, insert usb cable with power down button depressed

already reflash.. but it still keep restart @ boot loops

do i need to unlock bootloader?

bootloop is more like soft brick. normally can be done with a simple software flash.
