Does anyone know, if the Z2 will feature an UMS Mode out-of-the-box like the Z1 did? One of the things that really bothered me with my Galaxy S3 and the main reason I rooted was the missing UMS Mode so that I could connect it to my car-stereo.
Does anyone know who maybe already had their hands on the Z2 if it will feature an UMS mode so that I don't have to root it?
Thanks!
if Z1 has it then im quite sure z2 should have it
if you realy need email sony , they should be able to answer to your suspicions or questions

thx for the reply! I'm too hoping that the Z2 will have the UMS Mode as well since the Z1 had it. I have time since I won't get a new phone at launch, so I can wait until the first ones the bought it can tell if it really has a UMS Mode.
Ill be buying a Z2 in may so ill try to find out if it has UMS mode
i think most Sony Phones have UMS mode anyway

That'd be great, thanks!
I don't think it will tho .-. Android loves MTP and they are encouraging OEMs to all switch to MTP.

I know, that's why I had to flash my S3. But since the Xperia Z1 - to my knowledge - still has the UMS option my hope is, the Z2 will have it, too.
If all else fails I'd indeed have to flash my phone. It's a real shame, my car-stereo supports MTP, but not the MTP mobile-phones use, only the MTP-mode of the small fraction of USB-players that use MTP...

Just asking for opinions. Will XTS have a 4.4 update? Or there are no hope for the tablet?

I don't think so. I think it even won't get the 4.2.

I agree. Unfortunately, I heard Sony Mobile Communications didn't make the tablet (Sony Electronics apparently did) and the Electronics division doesn't seem to want to update the tablet or even release AOSP builds for it unlike Mobile Communications.
they suck so badly! I regret for buying it >_<
Sony have washed their hands of these devices. XTS was lucky to get 4.1. STS was forgotten 1 year ago with 4.0.3 . XTZ will be supported for a long time as there will be developer support through unlocked bootloader etc
XTZ will get Kitkat, we wont though. Im still dreaming of 4.2.2, but i doubt we will ever get it. Thinking of trying to sell my XTS next week..
Only way ts and xts owners will ever get anything else is buy buying something new!!!

KitKat on these tablets when getting abandoned? Hahahahahaha! XD
The only way it is possible is to get a custom rom which may be in the future.

i am a samsung user,i want to jump on to sony xperia z2 coz im tired of that boring design of samsung and now when i was comparing a demo at the store,z2 superior auto is less sharp to samsung 16mp auto,but 20mp was better than samsung in sharpness,but there overall appearance is not as cool as superior auto,dont know why,maybe we got to adjust some settings,so why isnt sony giving that 20mp superior auto,i dont care if it take 10mb pics or 20mb pics,i got a 64gb sd card,why arent they giving us that option? what is the use of 20mp if it doesnt take good pics? not all are camera pros to adjust all the setting like iso and **** for diff shots for diff lighting conditions,will they make it auto in future updates? btw i dont want to root my device if i get z2 and use mods for that ****
There is an Xposed module to enable 20MP in superior auto
I think rizal lovins cybershot mod does the same too

can you post a link for a how-to root on the Z2? I couldn't find anything in the Android Development section for root.
You have to unlock your bootloader

It's easy guys, i tried to post a simple thread the other day with required files and simple step by step instructions my 6 year old niece could follow, but it wouldnt let me for some reason.
Will try again later. For the record, my xreality stopped working after i unlocked, although some people say theres is fine. Not a big deal and i aint tried yet but apparently you can get it going again
unlocking your bootloader is safe so long as you folow the instructions
warning- your warrenty is void if you Unlock your BL(bootloader)
if you want to unlock your bootloader , id recomend you use this tool
flashtool.net
also id recomend looking at development forums, doomlord has posted some nice info, a guide even

Hi everybody
I'm an andoid user. I have a galaxy s4 on 4.3.2. and an iPad 2 with ios 7.1.1.
I hate ios, because it is not as free as android. So, is there anyway to install android on ipad?
Two years ago there was iboot, but I think it doesnt exist anymore
Sell my iPad and buy an android tablet is really not an option

I have seen lots of people asking for it across the forum, but everytime the answer was no, so I would assume there is no option for that. But Im not 100% sure, maybe someone will come up with solution the main problem would be bootloader which is locked, what makes it impossible to flash amother kernel, and Android kernel is needed to boot android, it would not work on apple kernel.

I remember when they started doing this.. i really wanted rockbox on my 4th gen nano but they just started locking the bootloaders.. the stock firmware started showing the wrong title for songs and.. now i have an HTC
ios sucks. there is no freedom. you can't use tasker, you can't connect to some bluetooth devices, you can't do anything
I really don't understand how can people like apple
Anyway, I think everybody would appreciate if a dev comes out with a solution, if it is possible of course.

I don't think the bootloader is even compatible. Hey, the kernel needs modifications to work on Apple hardware too. Without the source codes, it's impossible.

What? Some Bluetooth devices don't work with Apple devices?
P.S. People who like apple=they dislike customization/too noob for advanced customization.

You just bought a new one and want to install a different rom? Why don't you use the standard one for a few weeks and try to find out what you miss in the original rom. Then read a lot in this forum and make up your mind which rom you like and why you want to change it?
I don't understand the rush you have. Take your time.
I will get my tablet tomorrow (Sony Xperia Tablet Z WiFi only 16GB & Sony SGP-CV5) i bought this new set in Germany for 319 euro !
I will not install a new rom in the comming months. I did not do that wih my Xperia Z phone either.
but on the other hand it is your tablet and you can do what ever you want it.
Thanks for the reply. Will it work on the phone as well. Using this method?

I've rooted my tablet using the 1 click root method as well but the SU binaries fail to update after installing SuperUser, anyone know why?
All the apps that require root don't have any problems but I'm still wondering why the binaries fail to update...
Hey guys, i just got my M4 Aqua (E2303) and, i'd like to ask if is there any way to root it? I'd like to remove the bloatware etc..
Searching the same thing right now.. Also just sent an email to Sony asking bout that otg problem...

i did it on my girlfriends phone and it worked, so no more bloatware
but to do this you have to unlock bootloader and your drm keys are lost.
Well i don't know about you guys. I live in Greece, I've just checked my m4 and it has an unlocked bootloader. Maybe has to do with region? I don't really know..
Wish i had a solution to the otg problem as well... Sony said that it can serve as a Usb host, but the phone seems to disagree with the above opinion.. Anyway, thanks for the link. I'll check it out once i get my phone back from service..
