Just here for all the Australian Owners of the S3.
I have officially ordered/upgraded through Optus for the 16GB Pebble Blue.
Sadly these are not in stock (due to the faulty battery covers)
Didn't expect to see this thread so fast! I rushed to my optus store (I ambled actually), they put one aside for me and came back at 12 to pick it up. I worked through the crush of people and managed to be the first one in the store to get one (actually, I was the only person in the store apart from all the staff who'd just been briefed on how to deal with the 'rush' of people ).
Now to find a solution to the standard swype beta which opens as about a third smaller in height than the normal keyboards.
You don't need it ' swype is already on the S3. Just not enabled by default

I've had an order for around 4 days now and received an email saying they have no stock and they are not sure when it's due.
Anyone waiting on an order of the touch hd? Is it worth hanging around or trying someone else?
Im sure a few people are watting on them... (I know but anxiety is a killer )...Depends on how good the deal you are getting is in comparison to other places and in light of this uncertainty the first this I would of shoped around for a similar deal or indeed try and wangle one like price match or something and also bare in mind that the hd coming from them will be unlocked and unbranded just as it should be!..... What do you think??
There is already a thread about buying from Mobiles.co.uk; unsurprisingly titled "Buying from mobiles.co.uk"
The manager of mobiles.co.uk actually visits that thread (well, when the initial problems existed, not sure if he still lurks there!), so any issues you have will hopefully be answered by "The Man" himself if you post in the original mobiles.co.uk thread. Don't make extra threads when one already exists!

I didn't get you, the FINAL ONE isn't released yet, is it? Then how can anyone play with it? There are only Pre-release models in stores and they have some bugs

I'm pretty sure the press launch events had the final build, one of the videos I recall watching last week had this mentioned by the tech reviewer. I recall him saying they were advised it wasn't final but his opinion was that it was final. Mobicity is shipping the black model of the One to customers on March 1st, this Friday, it seems late to make any changes with production if they're about to start shipping to suppliers in a few days.
I should be getting mine before the end of next week I hope so I'll definitely add my thoughts here.

Sure, any and every thought is welcome. But by pre-release models, I mean their software. I still think there is some fine-tuning left to do

Irrelevant thread. Info available on other threads. Read!
OK I admit I'm leary I dropped my phone Tuesday and totally shattered (still in tact) my screen and immediately put a protector on to keep the glass splintering from happening. Bummed but oh well Sams Club is having a .96c cent GS4 pre black sale on Sunday night so it seems I'll be leaving GS3 behind and getting a GS4 I would rather wait until after first of year to see what comes but I need to take advantage of the sale.
I have only had this GS3 2 months after bricking 3 E4GT's and getting this because 4th one power button broke, replacement being on BO.
Coverage here in OKC for sprint is so so and gets better as time goes by so I'm always on WiFi so otherwise everything seems to work the same. Being on the E4GT for past almost 2 years all the young tech guys I relied on do not know anything about the GS3 or GS4 so as a 48yr gray haired guy I'm learning as I go.
I really would like a Note3 or the rumored GS5 when I went to sprint to get the screen cover the tech's said they have really been liking the LG L2 but not having a removable battery would take me back to my iphone days and I hated the control that apple had over me. Sprint tech guys always like seeing the newest things on my phone but when it comes to roms and rooting they are a lost cause.
My wife needs a new phone the has the galaxy s w/slider keyboard, I originally got my E4GT from amazon .01 cent Black Friday sale 2 years ago and it is best that both she and I stay on same contract terms.
Question: Anyone have suggestion of a S4 rom?
Been running [ROM][4.4][Beta][UNOFFICIAL][Updated 11/21/13]Cyanogemod 11 for D2SPR with total 4.4 kitkat and using PA Gapps.
Prior Ran The Collective 4.3.1 w/PA Gapps.
I generally run anything and every apk that will flash, not afraid to test things, nito and download the link.
My kids and most of family are all iOS fans and always stock so I'm the crazy droid spilunker.
Any suggestions or recommendation's about ROMs would be appreciated.
I'll figure theming as I go. I'm just a little bummed but know once I get the phone on Sunday night that I'll just find a new forum and thread to join.
For your question. That cannot really be answered by someone else. Look through the OG Dev and regular dev sections. To see all of the Roms available and flash any that catch your attention. Then from their choose which one you want to stick with.

See above, it is best you also break out questions so that when "best rom" answer create arguments, moderators do not have to shut down entire threads as "best rom" stuff is generally not allowed.
As every other country seems to have one, I thought I would start a British one. Loving my Z2 but I do have a few small issues which I hope will be resolved with software updates. Sometimes when I'm listening to music, the Track ID app would randomly open. I have removed this app. Today, Sony connect kept launching for no reason. My Phone had been "up" for 355 hours so I rebooted which seems to have resolved this issue. Still no sign of software update. I am currently on .55.
I came from the S3 as I was uninspired by the S5 but there are a few things I miss, such as having the settings menu from the bottom left key. I also do not like the way notifications and short cuts are split up. I am yet to test the waterproofing but am looking forward to taking some under water photos when I go on holiday later in the year.
Your impressions of the phone? What do you like and dislike about it? Have you had your free speaker yet?
The only issue I have had with my contract phone from 3 Uk is that it has froze 3 times in two days which required me to hold power and the volume up to reboot it.
It may have just been a rogue app misbehaving as it hasn't happened again.
There is an annoying nag with Audio sync issue when shooting 4K. I have a genuine Sandisk SDXC class 10 card which should be fast enough but there is clearly a audio lag of a second. It is also there when choosing internal storage too so it isnt the card.
I too came from the S3. Didn't like lagwiz but did like the community on here for flashing Roms. I suppose I really wanted, as close to, a stock Android experience and Sony has done a good job.
I too came from a S3. I was running CM nightlies and got fed up of the poor camera (not cm's fault) and lack of device support.
On a sim only 3 UK handset.
One niggle I have is the lack of full screen widgets, or at least no option to make them go full screen.
For example dashclock starts minimized which I found really annoying. To remedy this I am using Acdisplay which handles notifications really well. Be warned it does conflict with lightflow. I like it as it adds a screen before my pin where I can preview messages et al and launch directly into the app when sliding up.
I also really miss full screen artwork when playing music as well.
Apart from this I am pretty happy with the handset, I haven't felt the need to swap to a custom launcher yet nor have I had the need to flash and get on a non-UK .402 release just to be "the most up to date"
Nice thread, just received my 2nd Z2 a couple of hours ago, my previous one had the 'multiple touch issue'. Couldn't even text on it. I'm hoping that this one doesn't decided to go crazy one me...
Edit: I'm also with 3 and I received my BT speaker today as well. A black one too, kinda wanted a white one with me getting the white phone, but I'm not too bothered.

I got my free speaker today and I am well impressed! Been listening to my music at work and it has a lovely bass sound.
I decided to keep my S3 and donated my Z to a niece. Loving the Z2 and waiting a bit before I root it.

Great thread, now I can say what I think about these country specific monstrositys as it's my right to be here in the British section .
Time to tread carefully so not to offend or have the race card mentioned but..
I have always disliked the fact other countries decide even though XDA is an English speaking communitie and every user has a common interest, they must be different and have there own threads. It kinda disappoints me that no moderator can stand up and say enough is enough, we are all Android enthusiastics here so let's not discriminate against others and be the one community that can join together as a hole.
I understand about the fragmentation in Android but does it need to effect the XDA forums too?

I had the similar freeze issues on my 3 firmware, flashed a generic UK FW and everything is perfect since then. Give it a try. I even got few gigs of extra space on my phone memory which was filled by junk apps.

As far as I understand , the point of country specific threads is to discuss issues like shipping info, special country specific offers, country related firmwares and operator issues which are of no benefit to anyone from any other country. They are not to discriminate rather they try to streamline certain problems.
Coming from S3 too!
Still on .55 firmware, but I'll be rooting ASAP, well as soon as know I have no immediate h/w issues.
I too miss quick access to the settings, but I'll get used to it.
I also miss being able to switch to 2g, maybe this comes with the .402 update?
Look forward to a busy Z2 forum
Great idea for this a British thread ! i came from a rooted S2 running Omega V23 ROM and an Apollo Kernel. Had the phone for 3yrs . i like the size of the Z2 .. but not happy about the screen. i use the phone outside a lot and on a bright day i find it almost impossible to see the screen. The camera on the Z2 is fantastic ! such an improvement over my old S2 . i tend to find i loose the wifi signal on the Z2 a fair bit . checking emails it will just loose the connection. i am still on .55 will flash updates soon and see if it corrects the wifi issue . i hope soon that a way will be found to back up the TA partition so DRM keys can be saved . we shall see . :good:

Seeing as I permanently reside in the UK - I think this thread is for me. I've moved from the iPhone to the Samsung Galaxy S2/3/4 and now onto the Z2. I can honestly say this is the best phone I have ever owned! Battery life, camera, size, premium feel, what more can I ask for? Got a SmartWatch 2 to go with it and I love the combination, along with my new bluetooth speakers (free thanks to 3!) and of course the Google Ecosystem which keeps me connected everywhere to everything work and personal.
Love this thread too by the way :cyclops:
I'm liking the love lol. I too am thinking of getting a smart watch. What do we think of the Sony? Are they a waste of money and just a gimmick?
The one that came with my Z1 was never used. Just not much a watch person and don't want one more thing to remember to charge...
Incidentally, I don't live in the UK but since all my phones come from Clove, I think I can participate on this thread

Hey guys,
I was just wondering if anyone here could tell me what the official length of support for the Xperia Z line is please? Obviously I got the Z2 but after reading about Xperia and how Sony properly over the past few weeks, I see they said they are now to release a new phone/flagship every 6 months. I have a feeling I *may* have made a mistake getting this phone in that case! Unless someone can confirm Sony has a 18-24 month support on devices in the UK, I don't see why I should keep a phone that may be redundant in the next 10 months regardless of development support.
Thanks in advance!
They've always had 1/2 year flagships, I wouldn't worry about it
2011 - Arc > Arc S
2012 - S > T
2013 - Z > Z1
2014 - Z2 >??
Recently they've not been so bad with updating older phones, some delay at times. But nothing to worry about IMO

So I've visited a newly opened Verizon Wireless store near me and I went to check it out. They have done more to showcase Sony products right as you walk in, but today was just a grand opening and the employees are still learning about all sorts of things about the placement of their accessories and such.
Anyway, cutting to the chase, I've asked about one of the most notable problems with the Verizon variant Z3 is the absence of simultaneous voice and data. Of course most of the employees had no idea there was this issue and linked it to when the iPhone first had its issue when it came to Verizon (FOREVER AGO). They've looked into their database about the Z3v and confirmed to be that a software update will be rolled out around January 2015 to resolve this issue.
I wished I could properly show proof or link about it, but I guess it's insider company info about this. So it's not going to be 30-45 days, it's instead next year there will be a software update for it. Regardless though, I very much love my phone for its great aesthetics and quite amazing battery life. Just wanted to share the news to my fellow Z3v users so you don't have to dig it up in the one and only Z3v topic.

Edit: Okay, I saw where it is. Although it doesn't hurt to give a confirmation announcement on a separate thread than it getting buried in one.
