Charging dock pulls charging connector out of the phone. Sent for warranty repair. Came back - same problem. Plus waterproof cover for usb charger constantly popping out by itself within minutes of putting it in. On holiday atm, needless to say won't be taking phone in the pool. And back-ups have never successfully restored data to phone. Refund when I get back. Camera overhyped. I got a few good shots on it but conditions have to be so perfect. For daily use I get blurry crappy 20mp photos a lot and 4k video constantly jellying trying to refocus, regardless of the autofocus mode it's in. Having used iPhone for years I massively regret jumping ship to Android. Can you tell I don't like the Z2? Not sure if that comes across in this message...

Anonymous, 22 Jul 2014let me enlighten you :
1. yes (duh)
2. yes
3. many many ... moreThanks for the answers. I realize many of those were "duh"-like questions, but the reason I asked is cos I see so much Android phones that use default themes/backgrounds/ringtones and it got me wondering if you can't change them without rooting or something silly. But I guess the people are just lazy :P
Just trying to do the research so I'm not surprised by any downsides if I decide to go for an Android-phone this time around :P

1. yes (duh)
2. yes
3. many many thing you can theme change UI (launcher) all the things without root, root is ony required for extra stuff, like setting cpu voltage etc(unimportant for normal user)
4.yes yes yes, any email that have calendar sync can sync with default calendar app
btw i cant sugest you to ask any question here because there are many many fanboys and unreliable info, just like "z2 has COOLING tech" comment down there, i never heard of this mysterious cooling tech, on the other hand ive heard z2 suffer overheating in 4k recording, but ill buy it anyway, no phone is perfect, but FOR me Z2 is close enough

AnonD-285919, 21 Jul 2014which one is better?? samsung galaxy s5 or sony xperia z2??... more(1). Z2 has built_in COOLING tech but S5 does not have cooling tech
So for long term use, s 5 gets terrible heating issue
(2). Z2 has reliable waterproof tech, but s5 used rubber belt for water proofing and it us funny idea for s5
Moreover, removable cover& physical button can wear out and water flow happily into s5
(3). FM radio with RDS in Z2 give us local news ,local music and local weather condition which are not available in internet radio
(4) 20.7 mp camera in Z2 has the best in current market and Z2 camera has got highest DxO mark camera benchmark rank
So Z2 is worth buying for your daily lifestyle:)
Have a nice day,

Jonny , 21 Jul 2014I can't decide if buy the Sony z2 or the Samsung s5 help me... more(1)* Z2 has 3g RAM but s5 has tiny 2g RAM:)
3g.RAM means that you can manage more apps fast and smoothly
2 g RAM means that you can experience several" "laggy" condition in multitasking and 3D games
(2)* Z2 has Ominibalance premium design but s5 is made of plastic and has cheap design
(3)* Z2 has IPS display like iPhone and Z2 also use new live colour tech so you get natural colours and amazing viewing angle and fanatic colour depth
S5 has oversaturated Amoled display and colours are more extreme than sunlight
So , Z2 is the best for you
Thanks,

I havnt really used Android much in the past, I know the basics but thats about it. Perhaps looking into buying this phone, but I have some questions.
1) Can I change a custom background/wallpaper of my choosing without rooting the phone?
2) Can I use custon MP3s as ringtones without rooting the phone?
3) Are there some specific things I cant do without rooting? What kind of work it is to root the phone, also how legal is that with warranty in mind?
4) Im pretty sure I found the answer to it, but can I sync my Outlook.com email and calendar to the phones built in calendars etc, so that I dont have to use a different app just for that?
