Unlock bootloader? - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

Is it C6603 or C6606?

It's for t mobile. And also do you know if they make water proof cases for the z?

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

I don't think anyone from the Netherlands got them. Unless they ordered from another country.

Most of us pre-ordered and got an extra item instead.
Some got the Sony MDR-1R
Some got the DK-26
Some got bluetooth speakers etc etc
Maybe that's the reason. I don't think people can still get those items anymore when they buy the phone, but these without the protector included are still from the old batch.
Who knows...

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] New Nexus 4 or used Xperia Z?

Simple question: new Nexus 4 or used Xperia Z (condition: noticeably used, but without big scratches, ~7/10)? What would you choose?
If you could, please write pros/cons. I'd really appreciate any help! Thanks.
If camera doesn't matter too much and you lkve flashing roms, and are happy with the dc-hspa speeds then get the nexus. If you decide to go for the XZ make sure it has an unlockable bootloader.

xperia is water resistant and has a bigger screen, nexus 4 has quickest updates.both are really good phones IMO, I was deciding between these two and went for xperia obviously.

Mist on the mirror of camera

Mornin'! (at least here in PL)
Yesterday when i was in jacuzzi i decided to take some underwater pictures using my Z. Ive heared it isnt designed to be submerged, though of course SONY promotes it as it does. Ok but lets move to a problem. After first picture taken accuracy gone bad, the water was clean but pictures of even close localised things were blurred. I remember someone here on forum showed his underwater pictures and they were great actually. Mine were not worth a penny... After bathing i had swab the water all of my device and then i saw the mist on the interior site of mirror of camera. Now its already gone but had been there for few houres. Camera still works perfect after mist had gone, no problems there, however mist is an evidence of water coming somehow through. All of the indicators are white, so its not where the problem comes from. So my question is are you guys facing with such a thing after bathing, is it normal or is it as i said evidence of malfunction? Next question if i bought my Z from polish network Play does it mean warranty is ensured only by them or i can take it to SONY Center and they can fix up this issue too?

Some people are def. confused. XZ was never designed as underwater camera. Keep it safe and out of water.

I hope so, anyway Im going to take it under warranty to check whether everything is ok. And back to my question: can I take it directly to SONY Center rather than taking it to local network provider who sold me my phone?
Sent from my C6603 using xda app-developers app
Probably. Along as you have proof of purchase. But if there's nothing wrong theres nothing they are going to find. And probably charge you for wasting their time

Xperia z1 frame dent

Hello everybody, i droped my xperia z1 and now two corners have a dent on the aluminium part. Is this easy to replace? Prices? Any help is apreciated. Thanks on advance
Sent from my C6903 using xda app-developers app
Probably you are the richest guy on XDA to think to replace the aluminum frame. Sorry for my answer, I try to be polite but your question is useless. Is not easy at all and probably nobody will do that, it will cost you more than a new phone. You have to keep the phone like that now. To be sure just go to the store when you brought the phone and ask them. The last chance, if you can't live with the aluminum frame scratched, sell it and buy a new one.
Get a case

Yep that can be an issue, if some glue broke off or something, be careful

better send it to sony center for repair... frame dents normally compromises water proofing... repairing it your self will definitely compromise water proofing...
