ir blaster? - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does z2 have ir blaster?

Nope.

Which is a shame!! I love that feature on my G2, nothing better than putting eastenders on in the pub when a football match is on
Still, sure I will get over that one thing when I have the Z2 in my hands

This is actually the only hardware the Z2 is lacking, compared to other flagships. Well fingerprint sensor too.
Wish they could have been included. Maybe something to watch out for in Z3?

I don't know, Why Sony don't use IR Blaster in the Xperia Flagship like Sansung ,HTC and LG
The use only in Xperia ZL !
But they are use the IR Blaster in All Sony tablet and Xperia Tablet !

Yea, something I miss on my Z2 compared to my Note 3.

No.
Google never released any statements about support, and you certainly will not get updates when the nexus line do.
Sony Mobile Communications are in control of updates for this device. Not Google.

Honestly I would get a HOX if I was to buy a phone right now. After the issues at launch it seems like HTC has ironed out all the hardware issues. The latest update bringing ICS 4.04( previously 4.03) and sense 4.1 has tremendously improved the smoothness of the UI and battery life. It's now very much comparable to the SGS3 and far ahead of the XS. The SLCD2 is the best on the market at the moment too.
I dont mind Sony Phones running last year software on last year hardware, but WTF with charging the same price with devices that use latest hardwares and softwares. And Sony doesnt even update their softwares on time.
Anyway watch this video review for more information:

Or, to make it easier, maybe just have a look at this link
But thinking that this experiment by Google's Jean-Baptiste Queru means that Sony Mobile will give full control over the Xperia S's rom to Google would be "somewhat odd" to say the least.
No!! you will regeret if you buy SAMSUNG! I have an S3 and Xperia S. Xperia S is much smoother even though it's full of apps, my S3 is brand new I bought it in Samsung Store but it lags. and I noticed that the screen of my Xperia S has natural colors. S3's screen is over saturated! It feels like I have a cheap China phone when I have my S3. I want to sell the crap S3!!

Something cool happened today

Short story , I went to buy a Sola and ended up with a P :laugh::laugh:
How great is that
Well I see a very big difference since I had X10 Mini :good::good:
This phone is so great , I just love it
LOL, sounds familiar to me;] I went to SONY with a plan of buying P, but finally I've bought S ;D I dont regret my decision for now. Good luck!
I had thought about buying an Xperia P, but as soon as I saw that there was no cardslot... and "only" 16GB internal... did I choose the Sola.
I know that the Xperia P has more RAM, but I can compensate with SWAP in that area.
The Xperia P did not cost much more.
I wanted to buy the P. I like the P more, but pricewise about the prices of the S. So I bought the S.
My brother just got the P though. Really nice phone.

Add to that the fact that the S is superior to the P in every way. Unibody or not. Spec wise there is no comparison between the two. I'm not a mid range sort of person so only the S appealed to me

Thoughts about moving to Nexus 4 from XPS

Hey guys. I'd like to consult with you if it is a good move to sell my Xperia S and buy Nexus 4. The nexus 4 is very attractive mainly because it is a very powerful device and is in the nexus family (android updates without delay) and cost only 350 USD. I think I can sell my XPS and buy Nexus 4!
On the other hand, I really like my XPS and I'm really afraid that the nexus will be a disappointment for me..
I know this is an Xperia S forum and and it's pretty silly to ask it hear, but I'd like to hear your advice.
Thanks
Sent from my Xperia S using xda app-developers app
If i was you I'd go for it right away. One thing that Sony lovers debate about is the design and i absolutely love the N4 in that aspect. And plus points over the XS are many. I'm getting one next month
Tapatalked !
Bro, after i saw how Sony take care for their customers and i know how fast nexus devices get their updates - i would never think what should i do, i would buy nexus for sure.

Sony does have its plus points..The image quality,display clarity,music experience,UI etc of Sony is the best...But it fails in software support,delivery aspects...Nexus 4 will give u a pure android experience..It's definitely, a great buy...There are Rumours that the next Nexus will be part Sony...

Actually, I can't seem to really understand why are you guys against Sony.. I am very happy with my XPS and thanks to FXP team I am not worried about android upgrades.. I have a fully working JB for some time now. The main reason I want the N4 is because of the combination of good price, powerful specs and Google support.
Can you explain why is Sony that bad?

Arent you a LT22i user? You should be happy Sony is upgrading you early before the LT26i.
And those you say anything but Sony, take note that Samsung also abandons budget phones like Galaxy Ace 1 and mid range like Galaxy W.
Other manufacturers like Motorola and LG fair much worst than Sony or Samsung.

Those phones are outdated, and ...Weak!
What we are talking here is about U and Sola. After 9 months, they've already abandoned us.
The Galaxy Ace 2 released at the same time as XU and it's getting JB next January!
Shame on you, Sony! Shame on you. I'm going for the Nexus or Samsung or even Nokia next time.

Yes I am. And I am very disappointed with Sony support & update..i have to wait more 4 months for a JB update..WTH!!!

I'm thinking bout it too. But it might not be as cheap though on my country. LG is selling it directly and it should be out in january.
I'm really unimpressed by N4 stingy storage. It non standard hdmi output that hard to get and expensive to buy. Now I learn that usb host is impossible so there go usb2go solution.

Hahaha bro, this is nexus. You'll get the fastest update. Even if nexus will be part of sony. Because it came with google support. So don't worry about the update. If there's Xperia Nexus, wow the design must be sexy.

I dont know why everyone say like that. Those phones are outdated. Can't you see the specs?? Xperia U and Sola are far better than Ace and W. Samsung is far better about updating software than Sony.

Next Phone?

I just sold my S3, what phone do you suggest? I was thinking of the Xperia T, but the S4 chip doesn't seem too great and I don't like the design, they don't sell the Nexus 4 here, the Note 2 looks good but it's too similar to the S3, the OneX+ seems to have bad battery life.

Everyone will have their own opinions and reasons. Only you can decide, so do just that.
The post has no real relevance here either, just try the XDA generic Android forums for a broader view than S3 users.
The S4 chip is awesome and way better than crapsynos 4, plus you get the benefit of a fully or next to almost full working CM10.1 experience. So go with an Xperia T.
Seeing as you are so picky, I would suggest the Nokia 1100. Maintenance free, loooooooong battery life.
But seriously, I would wait till the Xperia Z is released. Or S4.
Good luck with choosing a phone.

I could get the Asus Padfone 2 for the same price as the Note 2, but without the tablet. It looks nice, but not many people have it!
Where are you from? I'm sure you could import the N4?
I would pre-order Sony Xperia Z . It looks very good and premium, hardware is very good and Sony care about dev community.

Rumours are that Android 5.0 will come in May/June. Since Sony provides needed sources, I guess SGS4 users will wait longer for stable build than Xperia Z users..

Main reason why I will most probably get Xperia Z is that Sony cares about dev community and provides needed sources. Also hardware is top and design very nice and premium, without cheap materials.
For me it is time to try other brands.
Right now i would like Sony Xperia Z.
If you can afford it just wait a month or so and get it, i'am sure you won't regret that decision.

As jumper has already said, the developer support for it is picking up, but additionally, reduced weight, very thin, HD screen, NFC, higher water resistant IP rating - the list kinda goes on...
