[Xperia Z General] deffjeff:
I have to be honest: I do not care that much for viewing angles. Usually when using a phone you look straight on the display, and not from the sides. That concept sucks on any mobile phone to begin with, it is a personal device, and not one that you share your movie on to watch all-together.

Viewing angles makes sense in the case of an LCD/ plasma/ Oled TV, laptop display, but on a smartphone?

It is funny how people often complain about new phones.

Always there is some douchebag that spends a lot of money on a phone, and then complains about it afterwards. In this wonderful time of technology there is a very good tool before purchase, which is called a 'review'.

I do the following: before I buy a phone: I read the reviews first, and then decide.

The reviews of the XZ were there way before launch, namely the one on gsmarena, which stated that the screen was subpar regarding the viewing angles.

And yet people spend a load of money on a phone, don't read the reviews, and expect all to be perfect.

Well, buddy-boy, there ain't no such thing as "perfect".

I have got me the phone. Yes I did.

I am in no means a fan of brands, just don't hand me an Iphone, or I'll go "murder Inc." on ya.

Why did I got it? Well, the phone is kind of water and dust proof, and in my line of work, it is a blessing.

Screen is reviewed as being sub-par, but hey, I never view my screen from all these funny angles; 90% of the time, I look straight onto the screen and not from an angle, for I have it in my hand.

Another complaint is that the covers are a hassle, etc. etc. Get a dock, and a Bluetooth headset, problem solved.

I come from a SGS3, and I do like the build quality. Compared to the sgs3 it feels less plasticy. Little bit of a fingerprint catcher, but that was also covered in the reviews, so I was prepared.

Does the XZ has its faults?

Most definitely, but alas, nothing is perfect. What you need to do to minimalize a possible bad purchase is to be informed before you do the purchase.

Read reviews, be informed.

It is nuts to spend a lot of cash on a phone, or anything for that matter, without being properly informed.

I am happy with the phone, simply because I was informed before I did the purchase.

Initially getting the phone here was a nightmare. Now getting the phones up and running has just been ridiculous. After two days of research and trying this and that o finally had my wives phone recognizing and registering on the Straight Talk network but only here and there. It will stop reading the SIM randomly. Now I'm trying to set mine up and I'm having the same problem. "No SIM card, Emergency Calls only". Has anyone found a solution or fix cause I'm right before throwing the phone.... which wouldn't be good..its a glass phone after all. Straight Talk is zero help. They got our money already, why should they be? At my wits end guys. Please help!!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrianDigital:
Is the sim card upside down?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nextelbuddy:
Sounds like you had to cut up a tmobile sim card to be micro for the N4 and then now it was cut wrong and is not seated and making proper contacts.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] minieod:
Another crap story about straight talk. Switch to solavei. My setup process yesterday took 1 minute.

and better service (42 mbs T-Mobile vs st with only 21)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geoi1006:
They will work intermittently. So should i try to order new SIMs? They can't both be cut wrong. I took extra precautions with the second one to be extra careful. Pretty ridiculous to me that they don't offer a micro sim for tmo.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geoi1006:
No I put the notch on the same side it came on. And the card says "this side up" so I've put that side up
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geoi1006:
Just called and ordered two replacement SIMs. They tried to tell me AT&T was the best coverage for my area and T- Mobile had spotty coverage here and that's why my SIM cards aren't working. To the average customer, this would've made perfect sense. Those of us that are inept enough to be active here know that's bs. I've had Tmo here. I happen to know they are the best coverage in this city. Told the CSR I refuse to be on AT&T anything. Dealt with them in the past. Know from experience about their shady practices and inconsistent policy enforcement. Throttle this person, let that person run several GB a month. Been there done that. Anyhow :rant end: I'm ordering an actual SIM cutter today also and hopefully that makes the process run smoother.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clockcycle:
This. ^

It's not the phone, nor the Sim. It sounds like a misaligned cutter. Note, a Sim cutter may also cut the Sim wrong if the user doesn't adjust / align it correctly. I suggest you borrow / find a precut Sim to compare alignment with before hand. There is very little room for error. Remember Sims are supplied either 1.8/2.95v power and you could short out your phone with the slightest error..
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryan stewart:
How did you cut? I used a $2 micro sim cutter from Amazon and its worked flawlessly. The sim is a hair thicker than the real t-mobile micro sim (have both T mobile and AT&T micro sims to test out services) but the alignment is perfect and no issue with the phone recognizing it.

The thing that makes me curious is your post from yesterday about the CSR telling you to use an AT&T sim. Im guessing they are out of the loop since StraighTalk has removed any reference of AT&T from their site, including the SIMs.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonathan3579:
Bingo! That's exactly what is wrong with my phone but I chewed (Yes, you read that correctly. Lol) down the edges and right before shutting the sim tray fully, I push the sim card forward.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clockcycle:
Although they are supposed to stick to a script, sometimes they fill in the blanks. Perhaps not understanding his real problem. I'm sure mentioning you cut their Sim would give you a few different responses.

I used a noosy kit from amazon for $7. And noticed it has some play/ adjustment and you could snip it wrong. The one I cut for my wifes iphone also left an edge unclean and slightly curled up. Which caused it to jam the tray..

Best and cheapest way to get a micro Sim for reference is the $1 simple mobile ones.. Cut right even allows you to use the letter piece as an adapter if you needed to switch back to reg sized Sim too.

Hello,

I have just installed mysense-1 RC1.2 on my desire z and it seems to be very fast and smooth.

I have some bugs to report, I hope that it could be useful for you to improve this rome.

1 - bluetooth doesn't work, if I turn it on after few seconds it turns off

2 - I can't turn off the phone, if I press the power off button for some seconds the phone just reboot. I don't have a menu to choose what to do (reboot, turn off etc...)

3 - there isn't any indication about the caps lock and fhe Fn button when I use the physical keyboard

4 - If I play a music file with the "Music" app I don't hear anything even with the volume up. If I use another player I can hear the music.

if it helps and I found some other bugs I will write again.

thank you,

Marco

2 – the messages are very slow, when you open the messagges you have to wait a lot to see the list of the messagges and also when you open a message you have to wait a lot of time.

3 – sometimes when you receive a call you see only the number of the calling even if the number is recorded in your contact list.

The phone is not letting me mount my SD-Card all of a sudden. When I try to mount it in "settings" it goes to a blank screen and on top of the screen it says "Reset?" and thats it.

Any ideas how to fix this?

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparkerjc:
My Nexus 7 will randomly charge to about 20-40% of the battery where it was when I plugged it in and stop charging until I unplug and re-plug it. I noticed it after update to 4.2 but I can't imagine it being a ROM issue, it does the same behavior on or off.

What I have tried:

Different charger

N7 on

N7 off

What I haven't tried:

Different outlet in a house

Charging from PC

Until I try those, any ideas? It worked fine until a few weeks ago. Running PA 3 nightly currently. Thanks.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fallon9111:
First, try a different power outlet

___________________________

Second, you could try:

Backup apps with app_manager/other app backuper thing,

factory data reset,

Load a rom with many users, few reports of battery errors (could be your current rom, if it is stable EDIT: derp, PA3 is stable, sorry)

DON'T restore your apps, yet

Try charging it to 100%

If successful, load apps in batches, monitoring to see if any are causing a problem (specifically unpopular apps or battery "savers", in fact don't use battery savers.

If unsuccessful and you have tried multiple chargers/outlets, try a replacement battery or send the thing back to where you bought it.

Hope this helps ;)

What I would do is -

1. Try a different outlet. Stock cable.

2. Remove case, unplug battery. Let it sit for 5 minutes unplugged, plug it back in, charge it up.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hlxanthus:
One thing you didn't mention is if you are using the manufacturer provided charger and micro USB. I have only had this a few days, and have noticed different cables/charger combos don't always work as well as the Asus provided ones. If you are using your stock charger, perhaps the connections are getting worn and you need a new comparable charger, or perhaps try the new dock that is out.!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparkerjc:
1. I will try that

2. There is no case, and I can't unpug the battery, it is not removable. Unless you mean split the case of the device and unhook the battery, which I am not willing to do.

I have tried different chargers, and this has been happening for the last few times I have charged the device for +/- 3 weeks.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sebby d:
I would say try a different outlet. My nexus 7 will charge to 100 percent and stay there for a good hour. Don't think the battery is calibrated but doesn't bother me any.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] najaboy:
In that case, folks may not be able to help you. The battery connector is a rather common issue on the N7. Removing the back of the case is easy, as it comes off in the same manner a phone's would.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hlxanthus:
Wow! I always thought the back was no removable, but with a small bit of effort it certainly does. If the connector has indeed worked itself slightly loose, that would explain is issue.

OP, you can safely remove the back cover. For me the top corners were the easiest to get started, with a fingernail ( or possibly a plastic knife) work up one corner and then work that around the device. You will see where the connector for the battery ties into the tablet so you can see if it is loose.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparkerjc:
Interesting, I'll try it out. Thanks.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparkerjc:
I pulled the case off, which was much easier than I suspected it would be. I unplugged the battery, let it sit for five minutes and plugged it in. I also deleted batterstats.bin just for good measure. So far I have had two successful charges to 100% so thanks to everyone for the ideas. We shall see if it is permanent.
