how can i test if my phone is new

i got the xz now and i want to test if its new becouse its looks like its been used

Er, did you buy it new.
From me to you.

If you have the 'Diagnostics' app, you can look in the 'Phone facts' section to see the running time of the phone.

i got it replaced and i see fingerprints on the screen so i dontknow if its a repearid phone or new

Replacements are often refurbished units. As long as it works and isn't marked why would you care? What's the difference?

becouse they promised me a new one

They gives you used phone cause they know you don't like xperia z

[Q] Worth switching to Xperia ZL

I would want your opinion. Is it worth it to switch from Note 1 to Xperia ZL?
I find my Note has really slowed down since the JB update. Also the battery is really draining fast. I wanted to switch to a newer phone but S4 is really expensive as of now.
Can you also recommend anything? What about Note 2, or S3?
Thanks!

Just go with xperia ZL. And if you can somehow get to it, try the htc one. One is the first phone I tried that does not have any trace of lag whatsoever, beautiful finish, nice enough camera. As for the xperia Z and ZL, I only tested the Z and it's pretty nice but it requires a custom rom immediately :laugh:

Thanks for the info. As for the HTC One, that phone is too expensive here in my country. S4 is even cheaper than the One. I would like to just root the phone and maintain the stock rom.
Because I have been reading reviews of the Xperia ZL. I can live with the issues in viewing angles but not the poor performance of the camera. Given that Sony should be good with cameras.
Thanks.

Cheap solution-get new battery and put nice custom jb rom.
Then you can patiently wait for price s4 / htc one to drop :fingers-crossed:

Any owners of any Cave shmups in here? Question about compatibility.

This week, all Cave shmups for Android are on sale. At the moment I do not own an Android phone but I'm thinking of getting a Z in the near future. So I was wondering: can anyone here confirm that these games run ok on the Xperia Z? Because otherwise, I don't think I'll get them.

No entendí, sorry

Unlock bootloader?

Hey guys I just ordered my Sony Xperia Z office swap and got a sweet deal the phone is already rooted but my question is can you unlock the bootloader the gentleman who sold me the phone said that you cannot unlock the bootloader but I've seen some things on some threads about being able to do so so I was just wondering I'm new to this community and I would love to be able to put custom roms on my phone and such also I would like to know how the waterproof testing is because we're going to a water park me and my family I want to be able to take the phone in the water

Only is possible and free in Spain: http://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?t=396318

It's for t mobile. And also do you know if they make water proof cases for the z?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app

Waterproof cases? What does that even mean? The phone itself is waterproof, if water breaches the case then nothing will happen to the phone.

[Q] Do you recommend?

Hello people. My old friend Nexus 4 is officialy dead right now (after 2 years i think) and now i want to buy z3 compact tomorrow. I read lots of good things about this phone but i also read some bad user reviews about the body and screen quality of this phone. So my question is do you still recommend this phone at the moment? Thanks!

Yes. Still one of the best phones ever and probably the best Sony phone. It has everything in one single package

Doesn't that go for any smartphone out there?

It depends...
I have had the Nexus 4 as well and I think that the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact is a fantastic phone.
You should choose it if it is important for you to have a small(ish) phone that is waterproof. Otherwise when you come from the Nexus 4 - why not Nexus 5...? (Or 6 if the size doesn't scare you...)

Thank you very much for your answers guys. I got the phone right now and i am really loving it at the moment

Not really At this size, definitely no XD There's a reason why it's called compact and not mini :'D
