I don't mind everything getting removed at all--good as fresh. Thanks for your help.

First off, let me apologize for asking. I have searched here to find out how, but I've found a few hints on how to do it for the GPE version of the Z Ultra. I was barely able to install CM12 on my Z Ultra out of curiosity. I found that it was nice to run the newest Android platform, but I found...

Absolutely stock Android. Very svelte set of installed apps, not rooted. I continually run out memory (Chrome throws an error at the bottom of the screen indicating that not enough memory was available to perform the task) and performance slows to a crawl. Am I the only one? If not, what...

If you bought it on a credit card with purchase protection, you might get your credit card company to get you a new one.

Thanks. I made a track for the camera to slide into the magnetic charger so it will charge with a simple swipe. Then I can also put up an additional tablet or phone in the remainder of the space.

Yeah, letting the audio be handled by an offboard DAC is the way to go if you are sitting or walking around the house. For when I go on a jog, I use either the aptX adapter or for wired connections, the EO6.

I actually made one myself. All I needed was some patience, a piece of wood and a router. I took apart the dock I bought from eBay that could never really hold my phone correctly. Then I custom cut one that could contain my phone, a case, and the cable. It's not quite glued together, but it...

Make sure the cable is OTG. I just bought a direct OTG mini to micro cable off that big auction site and it works awesome (without the frankenstein cable combo I originally photographed).

I absolutely agree. Sent from my C6806 using Tapatalk

Keep in mind that you likely just scratched the anti-shatter film, and not the actual screen itself. That film it just so soft, it scratches easy. I say try the phone out for another week...

Just make sure to use some decent closed headphones. Sent from my C6506 using Tapatalk

This solution works so great. I would use it on an airplane to provide the headphones a little bit more power. The end result: batteries in the phone last longer and the sound is vastly improved. Sent from my C6506 using Tapatalk

As for the headfi post, make sure you turn off the USB charge option on the DAC. Sent from my C6806 using Tapatalk

I don't believe it works outside of the Walkman app. That's OK, though, because I'd seems to crash the bass and make the highs far too shrill. Sent from my C6806 using Tapatalk

The BlueAnt Ribbon is the one I have and suggested it to a user in another thread here. Sent from my C6806 using Tapatalk

Takes the audio processing away from the phone and also amplifies the headphones. Cleaner and more powerful sound. Sent from my C6806 using Tapatalk

To clarify, when I said people in eBay make it, I was referring to a single cable with a micro on one side and a mini on the other. I haven't tested to see if those work. Sent from my C6806 using Tapatalk

I finally got around to trying it out and seeing if it would work. It does. Micro USB OTG to mini USB cable. It's not pretty, and I know some people on ebay make it, but I have lots of these individual cables around, so I figured I'd Frankenstein then together. Works awesomely. Stock...

Phenomenally--as far as my ears can tell. I have them connected to several cans, from my Audio Technica open AT700 to my bass heavy Sony XB800 (I think that's the model number).

Cheapest way to get the aptX in a bluetooth module that you can use your own headphones: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009F4XM48/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Hopefully mine comes in tomorrow. I look forward to using it, then connecting my cans.

Did you get this working? I discovered what the issue was for my ZU. Under the APN settings, on APN type, make sure that it says "default, mms, supl". Also, if you live in a LTE location, you might want to check changing your APN to "fast.t-mobile.com".

I really wanted to like mine, but alas, had to take it back. It kept hanging on the NFC logo when I would power it up. According to Sony, the only way to resolve that was to let the power run out. So that means I could use it again a day later (power drain then charge).

I was able to get control (volume and play/pause, end call) via my Monster Nokia Purity headphones. http://www.puritybymonster.com/#page_in-ear

I confirmed that the E18 works over USB with my phone--tested this at CES. It works with all types of audio I could throw at it (streaming, local, Youtube, etc).

Roger that. I've got the E06 and it does well. It certainly puts more power and bass. My favorite is the E07k because it also allows me to tone down the treble (if, for instance, I have my Audio Technicas connected--they're very bright), but bring up the bass (the open ATs need a little push).

Fiio E18. Takes the DAC out of the phone and into a offboard headphone amp. I tested it last week at CES and it works well--with all audio tested (Youtube, Rdio, local via Walkman).

How's the case been treating you?

I have both the Xperia Z Ultra and the Lumia 1520. I was thinking the 1520 would have been extremely awesome. It's not bad, but the improvement over the Ultra isn't as large as you would think. The Refocus app is pretty neat, as you can change focus after the fact. The best thing I've done for...

I'm actually very impressed that you were able to get the magnetic cable to stay. If I am able to get the cable to stick, I can't even breathe around it.

I really like my ZL. I also picked up a Z Ultra with AT&T LTE last week and have been using that primarily as of late. However, when I go out to jog or find a 6.4" screen prohibitive, I am reminded of how refreshingly comfortable the ZL is. I don't think I'd move to a Samsung device so long as...

I would make sure that Trillian appears on the exempted list in the Stamina options, if you have the Power Management enabled.

I can't seem to get my bluetooth A2DP streaming over my bluetooth speakers.

I wonder if the new Android 4.2 would support both Miracast and your router's Wifi at the same time.

Why? Laggy? Does it completely mirror the screen?

Has anyone tried out the ZL with any type of Miracast adapter to get the screen mirrored on a TV? If it's successfully worked for you, please share. I'd like to buy one of those adapters. Thanks in advance.

Sorry--when I said "source" I was talking about the files. If you stream YouTube all day and play at the low quality levels, it'll reflect in the sound. However, if you play higher quality streams or uncompressed music files--the ZL can deliver a fairly full and rich sound. Granted, it's no...

I tried it out with a few cans: the Sony MDR-XB600 (for electronic and bassier music) and the Audio Technica ATH-AD900 (for everything else--especially awesome with cellos and violins). Sometimes I go with an amp (Fiio E06 and Fiio E07K) to bring more bass to the ADs. I think they all sound...

So awesome. A shame I can't five you more than 1 "Thanks"! The phone has now reached super awesome status.

Sorry if this exists somewhere else (I exhausted my search keywords and couldn't find it). I am a recent convert to the ZL side and, for the most part, really like the phone. One thing, however, that I really liked from the Samsung Galaxy device I came from (and even the iPhones before that)...

Sorry--I'm not the brightest, so I have to ask for clarification--does this work with the LTE version and still allow for an LTE connection? If so, what were the steps to get it there? Mine is still sitting in the box while I research this. I currently have the Galaxy Note.

Thanks for the info. Do you have any audio mode you recommend?

Anyone know who makes the chip on this? I'd like to know if it sounds good. I heard the S4 has the Wolfson ones and it sounds incredible. I'm curious how this compares.

Now it's just a matter of time for us.

There hasn't been a way to do this short of using another camera app. I remember someone mentioning JB Camera+ in the Play Store when I asked this question last fall.

Wow. Just wow. I was seriously pondering picking up a refurb or even the Nexus 4. I was at my wit's end. I figured, if my GPS doesn't work, what do I have to lose if I break something? So I did this, shoving a precision screwdriver under the antenna leads so they stand at about 10 degrees. I...

You know, I've had that issue with both the xXx ICS ROM and JB ROM. I can't figure out what's going on. On navigation, it hangs on "Searching for GPS" for several minutes.

I did (super deal on woot). Same issue here.

I've seen that app before--thought that was pretty cool. While $1.99 isn't bad, I just wanted confirmation--the current ROM's camera app does not support saving to external SD cards--AMIRITE?

Any word on if it now allows you to save pictures from the camera directly onto the SD card? I've been wanting to jump from xXx ICS, but I use the camera oh-so-much.

I really want to jump full on with this ROM--it's fast and smooth. The only thing that gets me recovering to my ICS is the darned camera app. Unless I'm completely missing something, it does not appear to have a way to tell it to save my pictures to my external microSD card. Is that true?
