thanks for taking a chance and for reviewing the leather case. can you recommend one of these? just received my xl2 last week. (i shattered my oneplus3 2 weeks after receiving it, so i'm trying to be proactive :)

North America version ordered from and shipped to USA, then forwarded by post ($26, 10 days) works fine with data sim. I don't have a voice sim here in Tokyo to try. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using XDA Free mobile app

FYI, oneplus chat support referred me to willmyphonework.net. i ordered the north american version to a usa address. its getting shipped to me in tokyo for $26 USPS (6-10 days).

Still love my Z3 but MM OTA update fried the wifi&bt within a week. (Bad Sony. Bad.) So OP3 I'm ready for you. I'm going to order a USA version and have my friend ship it to tokyo. question1- Is there a better way to get one? After all, it's originating in China... question2- Is USA...

I backed up everything Helium would backup, and it's all in //internal/carbon. I backed up /carbon to external USB storage. The files in /carbon seem perfectly readable on my mac (not encrypted). Do you believe I can factory reset, and then install Helium, copy /carbon back to internal, then...

it does help indeed! i didn't know about helium. thanks for this!

hmm. all i want is to backup all including apps and app data, and factory restore to stock 6.0.1 in order to fix the wifi bug. (root would be nice but i can't do this project right now.) so if i don't want to downgrade and do the whole project above, then I'm stuck with no root, and unable to...

great to know! ok that sounds like there be dragons and maybe no point- if i just want to end up with the stock 6.0.1 i have now (but fresh), then i can more simply: - root for LB - backup (apps) with titanium - factory reset (- reformat sd card again for 50% adoption?) - root for LB, again...

I'm here for the same reason. i like stock 6.0.1. I've never needed to root this phone. but now, i can't turn on wifi or bt. i thought i should do fresh wipe sys reset from the settings menu. but i wanted to backup first (including apps). to backup i need titanium right? ∴ i have to root...

I will move my apps back to internal. then adopt and format card. then move them back to card. But, I can't find the setting to move my apps back to internal! Am i blind? When I look in settings|apps the settings keeps crashing. Restarting didn't help. Except for that im not experiencing any...

Yes I'm using xperia companion. I guess I'm experiencing that bug you mention. How can I establish if an update is available when I have no carrier? If I have no carrier then is it still dependant on the country I'm in? I know others have received the update for d6653 in other countries. Sent...

Thanks. I have rooted and flashed a couple other phones but not Sony. I guess I would do that if it came down to it, but it shouldn't be necessary. With the z3 don't see the payoff for the risk. I can live with the bloatware. More to the point this update should just work! Why isn't it? If I...

Im in japan. my phone doesn't show ota for marshmallow, only for Sony bloatware. and pc companion on Mac says yes there is an update available... But then after about ten seconds the dialog box is replaced saying that I am running latest version available (though i have 5). Same results when I...

im not interested in broadcasting pre-recorded mp3s. im not interested in broadcasting a live mono channel. i want to stream from the phone's mics so that anyone can tune in from the internet and hear BOTH my L and R audio channels. my xperia z3 has 2 mics. (and if that doesn't work, i also...

I've been enjoying my Z3 for 3 days now, having used a Note1 running MIUI for the last 3 years. (It still works great and i love miui, but I'm going for four years... i saw this D6653 on Amazon Warehouse open-box for $450, so i grabbed it. No warrantee, but perfect condition as far as i can...
