[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkNate34:
I tested this phone with warm water(just warm)=no problem. Tap water=no problem. Ice cold water (bout -2c) no problem,except for the loudspeaker. So I'm guessing this phone ain't that good at resisting cold water. Plus the phone was inside the cold water for about 15 seconds or less. Still trying to fix the damn loudspeaker.

EDIT:

Okay fixed the loudspeaker.

My next experiment,how long can this phone last under low temperature conditions?

Cause I put in the sun,it overheated and it shut off on its own(risky experiment)

I wonder what will happen if its ice cold.

how did u fix the loudspeaker? my phone into beer for less than 10 seconds and the loudspeaker is not as loud as it used to be....
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonmorris:
You fix it by letting it dry. As simple as that.

It's been a week since the beer, still the problem is there... should I switch off the phone overnight?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beingnyukeit:
I have had a couple of tests with the Xperia Z.

Test 1:

Kept the phone on top of the charger while charging it in my bathroom. Someone called and due to the vibration, the phone slipped from position and fell straight into the bucket full of water below. I removed the phone after about 15 seconds. There were no issues. Everything worked fine, including the speaker

Test 2:

Was at a beachside cafe couple of weeks back. It was raining super heavy. So I decided I will amuse the general public by taking out my expensive looking Xperia Z in the heavy rain and click some snaps. I surely did turn heads by doing this. They thought I was insane. Three things happened during the test. Camera went foggy [Normal], the loudspeaker subsided [Normal] and the touchscreen behaved weird when I tried to use it in the rains [Mayb Normal, don't know]. But everything was back to normal within a few minutes. So no complaints with Sony's promises!

Attached pics that I took with the foggy camera.

Reviews and also ppl bashing this phone I personally think it is a damn good phone and the cheapest 5 inch 1080 phone u can buy well here in Germany u can get them used for like 300 or even less of course also more. But I saw several for 300 and u think this phone is just really great. I have no complaints about it.

Cheap & resilient. They have a matte finish which takes a little getting used to, but I've got to like it over the last while (well I've kept them on anyway!)

I got some of these:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/iMyth-LG-...lePhonesCasesPouches&var=&hash=item19d7d161ca

Cheap and cheerful, does the job. Fit is fine. Doesnt cover the full screen, upto the point where the screen slants. And doesnt have cutouts for the proximity sensor. But it fits fine, hasnt fallen off yet (had it on a week now) and for the price I cant complain. Its matte and stops finger prints/grease which is what I wanted.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mafu6:
I'd go for the Zagg Invisible Shield.. They have been by far the best screen protectors I have used on my phones in recent years. With a lifetime Warranty and excellent customer service. Yeah its £15 and maybe a couple £ for shipping but in my experience I (touch wood) have never had any issue with them!
[HTC EVO 3D] bmxfro:
Hey all,

I was trying to flash back to stock today and my phone is now in a bootloop on the first HTC screen that comes up. It still shows s-off, but now the bootloader says locked and has the new HBOOT number. Does anyone have any ideas? The Recovery is also not working, as it took 4EXT away.

I also flashed RUU from the pc and nothing new :(

Please help and thank you.
[HTC EVO 3D] greeg32:
Which ruu did you run? Did the ruu run all the way through? Sometimes you need to restart the ruu after the hboot updates for some reason.

I would suggest running the ruu again, the 2.89 one.
[HTC EVO 3D] bmxfro:
I have ran it several times, I even took it to the sprint store to no avail!

I will keep trying, and the RUU I ran was

RUU_Shooter_ICS_35_S_Sprint_WWE_2.89.651.2_Radio_1.09.00.0706__NV_NV_SPCS_1.43_release_271101_signed

Thanks for the reply
[HTC EVO 3D] greeg32:
Hmmm I'm out of ideas other than maybe try running the ruu on a different computer. That's just a random thought though. Sorry I couldn't help. Good luck.
[HTC EVO 3D] 'Blu:
Flash your recovery again, then flash Harmonia, it's basically stock, that's what I used to get out of a bootloop.

Hi folk, i'm posting this over here but i know i should make a reply to the original ROM post BUT XDA dont allow me so... Well i'm gonna be simple and fast. I've flashed the ParanoidKANGdroid, ( AWESOME ROM, thank you devs. ) but i've found a n HUGE bug that almost soft brick my device.

Everything was running good, downclocked to 192 mhz min and around 1345 mhz max, but one day when I turn off the screen, there was a little with bar in the middle of the screen ( like if the closing animation freezed ) . The phone was freeze ! I've restarted and this didnt make surface again ( dont know why .. ) BUT today it started again, I pull out the battery restarted and BOOM ! The Installation wizard ( like when you first start a flased rom ) appear. WIERD, but then it was sooooooo laggy I could'nt even close or continue the wizzard there was la lot of XXX.apk force closed. I wipe out Dalvik + Cache . Rebooted and still the same thing. I've Wipe out ROM Dalvik + Cache . Recovery Nandroid Backup. AGAIN THE SAME THING ! Rage quit ( :eek::crying::cyclops::mad: ) I wiped all again and just flashed the ROM again and then everythin was Ok the wizzard continued and all app were gonne.

I dont know what caused this and also screw-up my Nandroid cache, my only Rooted app installed was : AdAway, SU, BatteryCalibration, Avast and Root Explorer.

So my message to the ParanoidKANGdroid team : CHECK this issue please. Also I love your ROM ( exeption to that issue :o )

Nothing but let you know that it's not trying to spoof another device.

Sometimes spoofing another device let's you gain access to different apps or features within them.

[Sony Tablet S] Zer0K3wL:
Not confirmed yet but one off the apps that i disabled in screenshot is causing shutdowns.

I'm testing now with all these disabled except adobe flash player and having these sony apps disabled.

when i re enabled them i had a shutdown right away within 10-20 minuts maybe coincidence but i had uptime off 14 hours without shutdowns, during this time if played files from my network through streaming from my nas, from youtube and 1 hour through browser.

if its indeed sony app causing it then tablet z will have similar issues probably with same app enabled.

edit: 1 hour stable with sony apps disabled, and adobe flash enabled so far.

edit: even with adobe flash player enabled and sony apps disabled got shutdown took little longer and got corrupted videoplayback for long time switching from player to player did't matter had corruption in every video player.

So testing further with these apps off again for least 3 day's now to confirm these apps have problems on this tablet.
[Sony Tablet S] purudpd:
Hey guys try this browser>>>>>https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.compal.android.browser&hl=en

it has solved all my browser issues...also it is extremely fast and smooth and gave the highest benchmark score:good::good::good:
[Sony Tablet S] Zer0K3wL:
updated main post disabling those apps might fix shutdown issues and playback issues.

adobe flash causes corruption and shutdowns

sony movies app and components causes shutdowns.

don't known if those other 2 service are causing problems asswell did't test yet, to soon to say if disabling those apps fixes this issue.
[Sony Tablet S] rspy:
uhmm.. to soon to say, but i'll try it right now.. i'll back to you! :good:

EDIT: I just tried play a simple video with movies app and MX player (with hardware decoder on), and another video with youtube.. all working just fine.. then, now that i know everything is working, i'm ready to test.. i go to setting->apps and i disable all the all that you recommend to disable in your first post.. and I play around with youtube to get the playback issue and the shutdown.. i get the playback issue in 2minutes with youtube and mx player.. so the first thing that i do is, go to settings and enableJUST Adobe Flash and then i go to chrome and open a SWF file, works great! so I try a video with MX player .. nothing, still with playback issues (blackscreen and some artifacts).. i tried with youtube.. same thing, artifacts all over the video! so, i go again to MX player.. i disable Hardware Decoder and enable force Software decoder and i tried again.. now my video is playing without problems..
[Sony Tablet S] Zer0K3wL:
disabling those apps reduces the shutdowns, i ran chrome tough and got a shutdown few mins later right after, so maybe if want to reduce shutdown rate use quick ics browser with those apps disabled for best luck.

does't fix it tough if you run the wrong browser it causes issues.
[Sony Tablet S] Zer0K3wL:
Can anyone that has this issue describe what happends every time before a shutdown like from 10 minuts back untill shutdown ?

PeterT from sony forums has't been able to reproduce issue so far.
[Sony Tablet S] Zer0K3wL:
Also already have my theory on how demuxer causes issues what causes to go demuxer go all weird if got no idea wifi issues perhaps that can't be fixed by advanced wifi lock in every case.

anyway lets asume video loads demuxers purpose is to split it in different chunks off data, lets asume it crash freeze half way.

video play's fine half way through we get video corruption like seen in video if posted some time ago http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-XluKRvNa8

this will contineu bassicly untill demuxer managed to unfreeze or restart or whatever, lets then consider that anyone will just try to restart the video and demuxer is still frozen or crashed and won't restart.

people start video player try open file, demuxer supose to get data now but its frozen crashed not their it will freeze for few momments then due timeout setting that sony put in the xperia tablet s it will shutdown, incase off the tablet s1 it will stay frozen either for like 30-60 sec or permanently.

and i guess this is the cycle thats happening.

i'm already quite sure that this is the cause off these freezes and shutdowns and other people's logs might just proof that, i just hope sony can fix this issue with this info verry soonish.

anyway disabling movies and adobe flash probably helped free up a lot, if set app limit to 2 proceses atm and animations off strict mode enabled.

Tablet is probably made such way that streamed data is't being saved into ram causing lot slow downs.......

Actualy tablet supose to work like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dZsS-C6f2Q
[Sony Tablet S] Raedek:
In a few days, you just might have figured out what Sony apparently haven't been able to do in several months.. Any way you can submit your findings/theories to their developer team? They probably could use your help. ;)
[Sony Tablet S] Zer0K3wL:
The problem is i have no contact with them the one i'm contacting atm on forums not sure if he gonna take my findings seriously.

the one by mail if not heared back from either yet.

they could likely rollout a update 4.0.3 (release7a) this week with this info or perhaps demuxer is part off an app that can be updated through android store.

i was seriously like wtf i just send my self log search notepad by error see demuxer having lot issues was't expecting to find cause so easy then got shutdown went to timestamp found same error again with some hints off h264 codec and clipboard being used.

I got more theories also that the xperia tablet s is't making use off its quadcore at all to speedup launching programs and rending.

If you launch maps app rendering is slow if you launch stock browser app rendering while loading page can be slow.

this is supose to be fast, maybe thats what they got issues with asswell getting jelly bean to run smooth, ofc could be wrong cpu usage monitor is barely readable all it shows is 3 core's nvidia tegra 3 has 4 core's + companion core.

Maybe the demuxer is being bottlenecked cous apps aren't optimised for quadcore usage at all except during games.
[Sony Tablet S] Zer0K3wL:
decided to give advanced wifi lock a try again today, so far seems to keep wifi enabled if i use my 5G network which did't try before not sure if they updated the app now to make it work.

damn tough in 1 hour idle my tablet drains like nearly 20% batery.

i also believe used tablet a whole day without using video's at all gonna take look at log now to see if it effects errors somewhat.

edit: just 1 demuxer error.
[Sony Tablet S] vatis24:
Probably mate thats preventing tablet to go into deep sleep thats why you are getting that battery issues now which its not a solution.

@ my opinion Sony must unlock us the device so we will use custom roms , they will gain time and nobody will rush them.

Cheers
