Which one is better: the New Moto G 2 (available @ 13000) or the legendary old Xperia Z (available @ 16000)?
Thanks for A2AI would suggest Sony Xperia ZR and not Xperia Z in any case. Xperia Z seems to heat up a lot. Xperia ZR is around the same price with better performance and higher waterproofing. As many say that its better to go with moto as it is just 3 months old, and not Xperia Z coz its 2 years old. Let me tell you that even moto sports a year old chipset. A top of the line 2 year old chipset is always better than a 1 year old mid-range chipset. Also, Xperia has 2 GB of RAM which is the main reason I'm recommending Xperia and not Moto. Low RAM is the reason most of the times for device slowing up and lagging! Even camera is much better in Xperia. As for updates, Xperia will surely get Lollipop (Sony has officially announced this) whereas Moto is already getting the update. If you're not a stock Android fan, I don't see any reason for not going with Xperia.Verdict - Go with Xperia (my personal opinion).Note - places where I've used only Xperia means that applies to both Z and ZR. And Moto obviously means Moto G (2nd Gen).Let me know in comments if you have any more questions!

Which mainstream phones support the same 4G LTE that Indian network providers (right now Airtel and in the near future, I hope Reliance Jio) are providing?
Pls note that 4G is for data speeds and VoLTE is for voice (voice over long term evolution) where voice is transmitted as data and reconverted; hence there is a lot of clarity in voice. Since Reliance Jio wanted to have 4G combined with VoLTE which is the way the world is moving as a lot of entertainment can be streamed on LTE, Airtel, not wanting to be left behind have started on same similar VoLTE for voice in a few circles. Airtel was not true 4G as their data was on 4G and voice on either 3G or 2G depending on where you were present. Now Airtel wants to have VoLTE as well for all their circles to counter JIO. Now to answer the frequencies, as someone mentioned here, band 3, band 5 and band 40 are a must to cover major frequencies for 4G/LTE. You will be surprised that BSNL is planning on band 41. Pls read all data that manufacturers write especially with frequencies as they should cover the SIM cards that you hold or may want to hold in future. Pls note that 2G and 3G work in different frequencies and if your phone does not have that frequency in that place, you will have a call drop. Cat4/Cat6/Cat9 etc is nothing but uploading and downloading speeds in your phone. Be careful as some phones claim to support VoLTE when one reads on net, but those phones though available in India do not have the software that supports VoLTE. To know the current list of phones that support VoLTE, pls write to care@jio.com and they will help you all out. best of luck
How do I fix a phone not booting after flashing a custom ROM?
Try flashing the ROM again.Make sure you are doing a clean flash.Always wipe system, data, cache and dalvik cache before flashing.This is very important.Dirty flashing often results in bootloop.If it still results in bootloop after a clean flash, then your firmware might be corrupted.Try flashing again using another zip package.Lastly, if you wish to return back to stock, you can either restore the Nandroid backup (if you have made one) or flash stock ROM.
