With... a rag? Micro fiber cleaning cloth? Windex? Rubbing alcohol?
It's a water proof phone- if it weren't for the fact that doing so would snap the thing in half you could probably throw it in the dish washer too.

Rubbing alcohol might do the trick, but I think you misunderstood:
I feel dirty... I got SWMBO an S4 zoom.
To the people that think development on the ZU is dead - visit the s4 zoom section

Oh you poor fool...
I think the only real solution left to you is to just burn the affected areas off with the most powerful fire you can find. I can't really see a better solution.

I've found the only way to get rid of feeling that kind of dirty is to hit the booze for a couple of years until you forget about it.

It's not allowed to sell or market devices like this on XDA. Put it on Swappa if you want to sell or swap it

I see. I know first hand how it is to go back to something smaller. I had to use my old Desire HD when I had my Ultra in for repairs, and it was pretty brutal. I guess you can wait a couple of weeks and see if Sony do release an Ultra 2 or not.

Otter Box is normally the case i would go for but with this phone i wanted to show it off!!
Would be nice if Otterbox made some sort of announcement regarding the new Sonys. Can't imagine what state my current phone would be in without one of their cases on it.

My x10 has fallen 4 times(Yes, I'm ashamed, as I should be) but the only damage is to the screen protector and one tiny mark on the backplate. Am I incredibly lucky or was the x10 a much hardier phone than the S? BTW, I'm 6'1" so its got a fair way to fall, and ikea carparks you'd think wouldnt be forgiving

Few questions about Z Ultra need quick answers!

Hey everyone, there is an on-going deal in my country to get Z Ultra for couple days more at the price of 400 euro. The design and the hardware of the phone looks amazing literally drooling. But im concerned about the touch screen issues i read here, i currently own a Zopo C2 chinese brand and gives me headaches everytime im about to use just because the touch scr een is awful has phantom touches and shaking issue when you press-and-hold, it even goes crazy when you scroll up and down it scrolls very fast to the top or bottom of the page.
So i read there was few ROM updates about the touchscreen the last couple months and now a new KitKat update is on the way.
1) Does touch screen problems affect every single device( factory fault) or just few?
2) From your experience after those updates is the touchscreen completely fixed?
3) Does the screen break easily since its so big or is as tough as having a 5inch with gorilla glass?
4) I kinda hate the look of Xperia ROMs , it is possible to unlock bootloader/root and install custom recovery/custom ROMs atm? Or is it at least expected to get some ROM developing in the future?
Thanks, i kinda need some answers soon since the deal will go off in 1-2 days and the device originally costs 500-550 euros.
Hi!
1) I had phantom touches on an earlier firmware, but Sony fixed it in a later firmware. I've seen one or two guys here that still has phantom touches though, so i would say that it's pretty much fixed.
2) Yes.
3) I haven't read about anyone that has broken their screens, but it's a 6.4" screen after all, so it might break if it hits the ground.
4) Yes, you can unlock the bootloader, install Recovery and flash custom ROMs. As you might have picked up yesterday, Sony released the Z Ultra Google Play Edition. This will allow us to use the stock Kit Kat build from that one and "convert" our Ultras to Google Play Edition devices
I dropped mine on to concrete without any protection more then screen protector front and back. It landed on a corner and peeled off the silver but not a single scratch or crack on both sides.
It's built to make it I believe...

If you root you can reduce the screen sensitivity to get rid of phantom clicks.

Xperia Z Ultra Bumper case in INDIA

Hi,
I am from India, using an Z Ultra. I was looking for a bumper case for it and stumbled upon a cool one in eBay:
http://www.ebay.in/itm/Ultra-Thin-A...-Case-Sony-Xperia-Z-Ultra-Black-/281162345171
But it is so expensive. Rs 2636.
If anyone have stumbled upon a cool bumper for the Z Ultra, which is a bit cheap, please post:angel:
Does the silence mean that nobody knows about a cheaper option in India?

I've been searching for a long time.... Other than the one which you posted and another (nearly same price), I haven't found any bumpers. Aluminum ones, that is.

eBay Global Easy Buy
I picked up a black aluminium one of ebay GEB. Turned out slightly cheap. And the phone looks amazing with it. http://geb.ebay.in/g/ImportHubSearc...tra&catId=&qbtn=Search&_trksid=p2052119.l1440
Most of cheap aluminum bumper cases are un-reliable due to no protection in between the case and the phone. It gives u more scratch to the phone if the bumper is not tight enough. Plz ask seller about it.

Realize this is an older post, but was wondering if the bumper degraded your cell or gps signals? I have been thinking of getting one but read where some people have issues with them.
thanks
Not in use anymore

Hey, sorry for the delay in replying. Even though the bumper looks very cool, I have realized (the hard way, though) that you will not be seen using it all the time. First of all, the added bulk, even though very little, does not justify the usage
Secondly, the bumper may not be so comfortable to hold, may be cos of the edges
Thirdly, it does not play well with the Xperia Z Ultra design language. This is not as beautiful as a Nexus 4 bumper, i would say
I AM NOT USING THE BUMPER CASE anymore :cyclops:

Not sure about Signal Strength, as i didnt use it much.
I am using a transparent case now, so that my Xperia Z Ultra design shines through

It sounds like we all want the same thing... To keep the beautiful design visible and be minimalistic. Can you post where you got the clear case you ended up using and your thoughts on it? I would really be appreciative.

It was a hard glass case. IMAK Case. It scratched my device on the sides. I took it and threw it. Now no case
Silicon cases might be the best option
oh man I'm sorry to hear that. That's kind of a nightmare and it sounds like we need to keep away from bumper cases and this all glass case.

Should I Switch?

Hello everyone. Been a Samsung Galaxy user since the S2 then Note and currently the Note II. Had my eyeballs set on Z Ultra for months. Just to be sure I would like to ask your opinion whether should I get out of my comfort zone and switch to this device?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk
I'm an ex-Note user too, and it's not in the same league. What things are you curious about?
Sent from my C6806_GPe using Tapatalk
[/COLOR][/COLOR]I came from the note... Much prefer this experience. Samsung annoyed me, touchwizz was god damn awful, they're updates sucked and battery lifetime was shocking. Cheap phones basically.
Love sony's efforts on the rom, nice and minimalistic. Beautiful hardware, most bugs have been ironed out by now, the worst for me was phantom clicks but haven't had any since 532.
Rooting and flashing processes are a little different to Samsung, takes a bit of getting used to. Very few actual bricks though compared to Samsung. Sony stock is good enough that you don't HAVE to root like you did with Samsung.
You will miss 3g video call from dialler, snote apps. There are plenty of alternatives though so no real loss. Also if you're a stylus user you'll need to get one separately, no biggie. Speaker on ZU is awful, so is the camera.
Media experience is the bomb on this, bar none I've come across. It's got apt-X bluetooth which they don't really advertise. Battery life is 2 days with stamina activated and moderate use.
And the screen? I'm not gonna say anything, it is as remarkable as photos make it out to be. Ooooo.
Plus it's a lot cheaper now, good time to get one.
Take the leap, you won't go back so Samsung.

That was what I've been looking for. A comparison between those two. Seems all looked pretty good so far. Don't really bother much about the camera. Same goes to speakers because I use earphones most of the time.

I have pretty relaxed but smart trousers for work, only one pair which are skinnies have a slight issue with phone in pocket. All others and all my normal levi's and gap regular fit jeans have no issue at all, like I mean none. It's totally like a normal phone until you see it again and are reminded of its monstrous presence.

Hi again... Got my XZU 2 days ago. Loving it. I'm using flipcase and have no problem carry it around in my trousers. I move alot bcause i work as a chef. Feels good though i constantly walk around and bend alot. Feels lighter than my previous Note 2 too despite the size.
Sent from my C6802 using Tapatalk
Congrats! Good decision.
And it's good to use a flipcase.
I got a flipcase too since day one, but I didn't use it because I love the slim design of the ZU.
During the last 2 month it smashed on the floor for 3 times.
The backside is totally damaged now.
And now I'm using the flipcase......

[Q] Shattered glass

I got my Z2 yesterday and unfortunately dropped it later that evening and the glass on the back shattered.. Does anybody know how much it would cost me to replace the glass on the back? is there something i can buy and replace it myself?
I doubt there's anyone out there right now who does it, unless maybe you live in Europe. I'd try contacting Sony, see what they say.
You can buy glass replacement on ebay already, doesnt cost much

I've been around a few places in my city today and one of them could legally repair Sony devices but that would cost me over 400 dollars..
I suggest repairing it yourself. Back should be easily repairable. The front is much harder..

Yeah, I've seen some videos of the z1's back being replaced.. Doesn't look that hard, I just need to buy the back for Z2 but I can't find it online.. I probably need to wait a few weeks.
