James Bond

[scaramanga007]

Evening all
Purchased the new z5 bond edition and found it comes with no bond apps of any kind, being it is advertised with a string of things, does any one know how to get them.
I have tried the ex lounge via Sony and trying to get hold of someone on vodaphone is a joke as tried numerous occasions and no one available
I hear from another bond fan this has happened to him also
Any help most appreciated

ChazzD:

I would like to echo other members of this thread by thanking you. I have recently got rid of my SGS6 and got my hands on a Z5. I have to say that Vodafone's CS on the telephone is getting from bad to worst. It took me a few hours with three telephone calls before the matter is sorted. The matter which I was referring to was a simple issue: Port over my number from another network to Vodafone; and change my plan.

Have a good weekend.

Hi everyone, 

I've had an email back confirming all the content, both exclusive and non exclusive to Vodafone, that should be available to you. This is as follows:

• Bond Theme (lock screen gun barrel) – exclusive
• Animated wallpaper (shows bullet hole then Spectre 007 logo/menu buttons) – exclusive
• Behind the scenes Interview (vlog) with key characters including Naomie Harris (Miss Moneypenny) – exclusive 
• Sony Trailer (with Naomie Harris) – not exclusive
• Spectre Trailer – not exclusive

Sony have confirmed that all Vodafone Z5 customers have been sent a push notification encouraging them to visit Xperia Lounge to download this content. If you have turned off push notifications, when you visit Xperia Lounge the content will still be there for you to download, you just won’t get the notification.

As mentioned previously, you need to be on the latest software (XL app version 3.2.1). If you're not currently on the latest software, once you upgrade it, the content will be accessible. I can also confirm that the content is now available on both the black and green versions of the phone.

I hope this helps clear things up and thank you for your patience while I looked into this for you.

@ ChazzD : Many, many thanks for all your help in confirming the content on our Made For Bond phones. It is somewhat sad that you have been the only Vodafone employee who has been able to assist us and help confirm the content available. Shame on Vodafone, not so you. Thank you. That said, I have all the content you list above except the behind the scenes interview (vlog) with key charcters. This to my knowledge has never been available. 

I do require one more piece of advice however, how do i download the items (trailer etc) off Xperia Lounge? Is that something I can actually do or does this mean something you can purely watch?? If you can confirm that for me it would be very much appreciated.

Lastly, thank you again for all your help with our queires, you really have been a star.

You're very welcome.

I understand you've been disappointed with the way it's been advertised and I've fed this back.

To install the downloadable content, click on the Bond image in the Xperia Lounge. You'll get the option to install, then once it's completed you need to go into your themes settings and apply the Bond theme. 

As far as I know, I don't think the trailer is part of the downloadable content. Sorry to hear you've not been able to get the vlog, I'll pass this information back to see if there's any known issues with this and why it doesn't seem to be available. 

As soon as I have any further information regarding this, I'll let you know.

Big thank you again chazz D for all your above and beyond work you have done to help us out.
It is a petty these things were not pre loaded as mentioned before.
I still think apart from yourself that vodaphone has treated it's customers poorly on this matter and can not believe that the company has got away with the advertisement they have used for the phone
I wish you well in your career with vodaphone
Thank you again

ChazzD thank you so much for all your help, time and effort regarding this issue. Even though we have a level of disappointment regarding the actual content you have been fantastic in resolving I

Thanks again

[ChazzD]

Hi all,

I've had confirmation that you should be able to download all the content, including the trailers and behind the scenes interview.

Could you let me know if this isn't the case for any of you? If you could provide any screenshots of the Xperia Lounge content where you believe some of it missing or not available for you to download, that'd be great as I can feed that back to try and find out why this is.

At the moment I'm struggling to get any further information regarding this but I'll try my best once I know exactly what you're still missing.

[Mu1der]

@ Chazz D : The only thing I have been able to download is the Bond theme/Gun Barrel lock screen/Spectre wallpaper. Everything else (advert, trailer, behind the scenes on advert) is just viewable. Still no vlog from Moneypenny however. 

Not sure how to get a screen shot of what is viewable when in the Made For Bond section but it is still only the advert, trailer and behind the scenes of the advert.

Good to hear from you again though, thank yuo for your continued help.

Has anyone person actually respolved this yet?

As predicted the film came and went and just the one screen saver come on Vodaphone and Sony your BRAND VALUES have bottomed out on this one what a mistake in not getting the Samsung 6 Edge + suppose we learm from mistakes

[scaramanga007]

Same as above here
Are they classing the behind the scenes of the advert the money penny vlog??
