Now Google Home has officially launched in the UK, anyone aware of a way to get hack a US Google Home to become a UK model, or at least just a UK accent? I know it could be done with the Amazon Echo, before it launched over here, so assumed something similar would happen with Google Home too -...

Ditto here!

Hey gandalf, what is your customisation number for your phone? (dial *#*#7378423#*#* > 'Service info' > 'Software info' > 'Customization Version') Mine is 1282-0226_R2B, supposed to be UK SIM-free, and I'm not seeing the update...

This exact same thing happened to me. I couldn't even be bothered with Sony customer services, I knew what they'd say, so I just claimed on my phone insurance and took the £75 excess hit.

I had a similar situation - my previous Xperia Z was a tank (in a good way), put it in my pocket, sat on it (lightly), dropped it, everything, barely a scratch let alone a cracked screen after 18 months. After a couple of months with the Z2, I thought I was being way more delicate with it, and...

OMG, so you have to be in manual mode to specify the resolution of your photo?? In Superior Auto you can't? Wow.

I've updated to this now, but my camera seems stuck at the 16:9 3920 × 2204 resolution - I can't find how to switch it back to the 13MP 4:3 format... anyone else had this? Can anyone point me in the right direction? Apologies if it's already been mentioned, but after searching, all my searches...

Maybe it's a fake?

My 4G/LTE version formatted my 64GB card up to 64GB perfectly fine. Did you get the tablet to format it itself, or just stick it in straight from the packet?

I just can't tear myself away from Firefox on the desktop (far and away the best there, IMO), so as much as it feels a bit sluggish sometimes on Android, I still stick with it on my phone and tablet because it syncs nicely.

Actually it's rated to withstand up to 1m of water for up to 30 minutes, a bit more than accidental splashes and a "quick dunk", but granted, swimming with it is a different kettle of fish...

I tried going back to 4.1.2 from 4.2.2 due to bluetooth not working with my car on 4.2.2, but after reflashing it just sat in a reboot loop. How did you downgrade to 4.1.2?

My BMW simply won't pair with my XZ since updating to 4.2.2 - was working fine before on 4.1.2, but when I try to pair now, they recognise eachother, and I enter a code on the car to be verified on the phone, but after I enter the code on the phone, it all just freezes. The car sits there saying...

Can't pair my XZ to my car bluetooth system since upgrading to 4.2.2 - both recognise eachother, car asks for a PIN which I have to confirm on the phone, but after doing that nothing happens. Also some apps (BeehiveIM being one) are force closing as soon as it's run. I could clear the app's...

My Z has a load of very fine scratches (only visible in good light, at a fine angle) right at the point my right thumb unlocks the screen, all in the direction I swipe the screen.
