I saw in the photos of the Touch that SprintTV is part of the software...
I'm curious if that will be part of the update we've been promised (but never delivered on)...
i was told when i bought my phone (in june) that the update woul dbe in october or november, so i think its a bit early to be saying "never delivered on"
but yeah, i heard sprintTV is supposed to be part of that as well
Its out, the .cab file,is posted on the PPCgeek.com software forum.
attached. i edited the cab to allow it to be uninstalled
very cool, is there no way to uninstall the previous version?

I'm on o2 UK, I connected via wifi no prompts, so yes I would say it works on any network with just a data connection.
Edit: Giving me an error few hours later.

Hey guys this cab also works on non Spint networks too. I have an AT&T 8525 phone and the video on it works perfectly, the only issue I have is that the audio drops out occasionaly. Can anybody answer that one

hey, I wonder what would happen if you "subscribe" to channels if not on Sprint... how can they charge you? Will it work, or are they smart enough to disable channel purchases if you don't have a sprint phone?
On top of that, do you guys on sprint think that Sprint will charge us for this? there has been some talk that it needs some ID info from the touch in order to charge its users for subscriptions... guess I'll wait until after some folks get their next bill to see!!
I am getting confused now: do I have to pay for using the NON PREMIUM channels (the one that did NOT pop-up saying "...subscriptions for $ 7.95 /month")?
I have the Mogul with SERO plan and unlimited data. No where in my bill I see "PowerVision" or the like.
I got the SprintTV.cab file, installed it and can see the free (non-premium) channels.
Again, will I be charged for watching non-premium channels?

Most likely. At work we had the Upstage with unlimited everything and it would still ask us if we wanted to buy the premium stuff.
subscriptions
if you subscribe to channels, will you be charged this on your Sprint bill?
Hey I have a Telus P4000 with the october 21 rom from colonel and it has sprint tv on it, I clicked subscribe on the premium channels and it let me have it, will this show on my TELUS bill in Canada or am I somehow getting this for free?

I am not referring to the premimum channels, just the normal channel. Example: CNN -> when I watch this, no pop-up asking me to pay $7.95.

Obviously not. If the premium ones ask you to pay.. it's because they're premium. The non-premiums don't ask you to pay.. because they're free.
I thought we should have a thread for us Canadians since the phone is going to be available tomorrow.
I pre-ordered mine from the Sony store today in Montreal Eaton Center.
Let's hope I get it soon.

I don't know. The rep told me that the previous unlocked versions came with no headphones or the charging stand. The Sony Canada website says that only the charger has and usb cable are included in the box.

I was into the Bell store on Monday (May 12th) and I asked if it were possible to unlock the bootloader. The rep didn't know offhand. But he pulled a phone from the inventory, booted it up for me then let me enter the code to enter the service menu *#*#7378423#*#* and check.
Apparently the version they sell in the Bell store (at least in Nova Scotia, can't speak for the rest of Canada) does not allow you to unlock the bootloader (it says bootloader unlock allowed: No). So if you're looking to buy the Xperia Z2 from Bell and you live in Nova Scotia... Be aware of this.
(I haven't heard any other sources in Canada confirm or deny that it was possible to unlock the bootloader though.)
I'm not sure if the Sony store has their version yet for sale or whether or not it'll be possible to unlock either. (The Sony store website says that the phone is only taking pre-orders right now and that it's estimated to ship next month.)
I've bought today from Bell in Winnipeg, Manitoba, with 2-year contract and yes,the bootloader is locked too. But besides of that,great device!

Got mine a few days ago in Saint John, NB on Bell and yup...it's locked. Still loving the phone though there are a few small features I would like to change. I'm very glad someone made this thread for Canadians.

Ahh this is bad news. No boot loader unlock is a deal breaker for me. I wanted to get this phone so bad tend to get sick of manufactures skins pretty quickly. Looks like I may end up picking u the m8 instead. I really wanted to try a Sony product this year
Just to echo previous comments, I bought a Bell Xperia Z2 (D6053) and the bootloader's status is
"Bootloader Unlock Allowed = no"
I guess I'm going to have to return this; and grab it from Sony Store instead.

I REALLY like the phone, even without root. I think Sony did a lot of things right. Nothing was offensive, that I wanted to change it with Xposed modules. Still though, knowing that Sony's version has unlockable BL; I'll just pay outright. That's how willing I am to use this as a daily driver.
I got this phone 2 weeks ago and i love it! The only things are yes the BL is locked by Hell and the sound from the headphones and speakers are pretty low. There is a MOD to boost the volume like on the z1 but, it's only available on ROOT. Hopefully, the DEV's can find an exploit and be able to have ROOT on a locked BL like on the z1. Also, BTW Hell went cheap with the accessories, with some ****ty ear buds,not even in ear, and a usb cable and charger. Good thing i kept my magnetic charger cable from my Z1
Can anyone confirm that the unlocked version from the sony store has an unlockable bootloader?

If you buy direct they have their own firmware for the phone so you can follow this guide.
https://ee.co.uk/help/phones-and-de...setting-up-wifi-calling-on-the-sony-xperia-xz
Otherwise it does not even appear in the phone. Its a build in feature from them, They have some sort of partition on the phone.

Yeah I understand now thanks for that. I may need to try and root this 1 day the chrome browser seems to have the ee touch as home page on it is ee and there's no way to change and no way to uninstall it. That's the only thing ee I can see. I'll give this ee calling ago. I would of brought from carohonewarehouse but£40 cheaper at ee and black and silver in stock was a no brainer.

Not sure.
I'll get mine later today so will test and find out then.
Will see if we can get this working !
I thought i'll never get mine, i've ordered phone through service's provider online shop 9.10.2016(preorder) and had to wait until 13.10.2016(all providers in my country started deliveries that day- start of event 14.10.2016-18.11.2016) since it was end of the week i've recived mine 17.10.2016. The same day i tried to register my phone with a code i was given, to my suprise it did not worked at all, i've send an email to company that organised this promotion, it took two days and my perseverance to finally make it work, i had to try diffrent combination of 2 middle letters. 19.10.2016 i fortunatly registered it and waiting had started. 7.11.2016 after all i got an email that confirmed proper registration and that they will send it in the next 30 days. Just hope i'll get it late next week or week after that. Did any of you guys got the same problem? How long it took before you recived yours headphones?
No I just popped my IMEI number in and got mine like 2/3 days after.
Was pretty simple if I'm honest.
It's probably my luck i guess, company that organizes that is greenmark, a third party not Sony's Polish branch
Finally i got mine yeasterday, sound quality is good, build quality is acceptable, they fit well and comfort of use is high
Filled in my details and it wouldn't accept me for the offer.
Sony XZ Purchased from Carphone Warehouse, member of staff mentioned the headphone offer to me during purchase but the offer website doesn't accept my IMEI so i'm out of luck

Hi there,
I have been wondering the same question, although I have just left it on the top selection.
I bought mine in the USA and brought it back to use in the UK, I'm on O2. Any suggestions from anyone would be welcome...
I've also got a annoying issue whereby whenever the phone loses signal completely or as soon as I put it in airplane mode I get a "Phone Services" message stating that I have a new voicemail, yet I don't. I not sure that I can do much about it...

I was able to do it as well with no problems, Switzerland here. Samsung Members App --> Benefits section. It has to be done from the phone, and only from the Members App. In Switzerland there should theoretically be a check of the phone being on a swiss network provider as well, that's what Samsung says, no idea if it's actually getting performed or not.
Still have to get a confirmation email, but seems to have gone through with no issues.

I wish these buds were louder. I think it is Samsung's bluetooth volume that is not very loud. I have the volume all the way up for Bluetooth and it seems like it is only at half volume when you're listening through the buds.
