[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] van2z:
So, i was using xperia z for 2.5 weeks and everything was great so far.

But four or five days ago i noticed that power button changed the way it presses. Now, if i havent turn the screen on for some time, the button makes a little crunch when it is touched. This effect repeats in lighter way on the secong press of the button, and there is no such issue if button is in constant use. But the problem appears again, if device has not been used for an hour or more.

And the proccess of pressing is sort of going in two stages: in the beginning goes the crunch (the feeling is like the button scratches something with some resistanse. There is also a little dangle of the button while unpressed), next the gap ends, button touches its membrane smoothly and silently. Sure, the issue is not really unbearable, but it does concern me as it is the only big problem i experienced on my device.

So, should i wait for issue to disappear itself, is it possible to make any steps to improve the situation on my own or is it better to visit service centre at once?

I forgot to mention this: device has been used gently and carefully, it has never fell down, it has never been used or carried in conditions that could possibly make damage to button, neither sand nor dirt could penetrate button's mechanism and so on.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkKrypt:
Get a replacement to be honest I wouldn't want water getting in. Sounds like the button has loosened or something.

This has happened to people with game controllers with the Wii, ps3 Xbox etc
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] van2z:
The problem has surprisingly disappeared today. There is still a little gap, but annoying sounds went away and the pressing of button feels just fine.

I guess i'll immediately visit service center if the issue will happen again, though.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Spyro:
Hi

I dont have an XDA however I'd like to know some more infor about the ROM image formats you guys are using.

I dont run windows but a friend who does says you guys have a [windows] utility that can extract the 'kernel' image into a few directories full of DLLs / etc.

Is the source for this available? I tried the perl scripts on your site, but only with limited success.

Im trying to get linux onto my e750, and have got stuck sinc ethe e750 uses a check of some sort to decide wether or not it feels like flashing its image.

I already reverse engineered the e740 bootloader but I dont really want to have to do it AGAIN for the e750 if you guys have done the work.

any info, source, etc. would be helpful, esp. if you can help with generating images too.

Hi to all!

Here is the best place for people like me that joined the forum a long time ago, but cannot post, as you need a minimum of 10 posts to be aloud to post the first one! What a logical way to drive a forum...

I could help guys on Jelly King forum for ex. but I cannot post.

I like pie control. I have button one as home, button two as back, button 3 as recent apps, button four as menu and button 5 as app drawer.

The bad thing is the app drawer is pie controls app drawer so it's really leggy when scrolling through apps. I don't see a way through Pie control setting to change to the system app drawer.

On level two I have a few apps like Tapatalk, browser and messaging app. When you select the apps there is a one or two second delay before the app opens. Not sure why..

After selecting something, it takes a little bit to start back. Mine seems to work fine unless I activate it quick and then try to use it again immediately afterward. Maybe it's the apps or actions that you are using that could cause the delay. Just a thought.

[HTC Sensation] andya666:
Hi, I have a rooted sensation XE and I wanted to upgrade firmware via Hboot but my power button does not select any of the options (it works normally when using the phone). I can scroll through with the options using the volume - (my volume + does not work anymore but it has never caused problems so I havent had it repaired) but when I hit the power button nothing happens.

I am rooted and S-off with revolutionary Hboot 1.27 with 4-ext and venom 1.63.

Also I can only access Hboot through 4-ext or from the phones reboot options, I cannot access it by taking out the battery and using the power & volume - combination all that happens is the HTC screen comes on, goes off, comes on... you get the idea!

My phone is working in every other way but I do like flashing roms and I am concerned that if I have a bad flash I wont have a Hboot to fall back to.
[HTC Sensation] ti0:
If you know how to use adb I'm pretty sure you can flash firmware using adb

If your confident using adb I can give you commands

And about being worried about not having hboot to land on adb can easily reboot into bootloader but I suggest getting buttons repaired.
[HTC Sensation] andya666:
I am happy using adb, but my main concern is fixing the boot loader, I have put a zip file on my sd card (pg58.zip) which the bootloader would normally find and use but it does not even look for it.:confused:
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
do you mean pg58img.zip?

rename it like this
[HTC Sensation] ti0:
The reason maybe that you are spelling or writing it incorrect make sure it is pg58img.zip like mentioned above and is not in any folder and on the root of the sd card
[HTC Sensation] onemanshow85:
weird, bootloader (not fastboot) should always do a quick scan for the file if the SDcard is inserted, regardless the way it's spelled. but like mentioned you can flash the file with ADB or fastboot. you don't really need bootloader for that.

so your hboot started having issues after you updated it from 1.18/17 to 1.27? or did you start rooting it from 1.27? what firmware are you running now? since you're on hboot 1.27 I wonder why you want to update FW.

you can check FW with

fastboot getvar version-main

if you want to flash FW make sure it's spelled correct like mentioned above. Also do md5 check. you can install different bootloader to see if it solves the problem. if not I'd say send it for repair...
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
you mean

fastboot getvar version-main
[HTC Sensation] onemanshow85:
yes, you're right. corrected it ty :)
[HTC Sensation] andya666:
Thank you for all of you replies. My FW Version is 3.32401.3, this all came to light besause I wanted to flash Android Revolution HD7.1 which specifically requires you to have FW 3.33.401.x, (they even went to the trouble of pointing it out in red letters!) This is when I discovered the problem with the bootloader. I have got PG58IMG.zip (sorry about typo earlier) on the root of the SD card and the bootloader is completely ignoring it. As someone stated even if the file is misspelled, corrupt or whatever it should still look for it which it doesn't.

I am sure I could get the firmware upgrade to work using ADB, but I would feel alot better if I could find a way to fix my bootloader so that I could access it without using 4ext or the rom itself and I could use it when I did get into it without needing ADB.

I am just worried because I have had the odd occassion where a flash has gone bad for whatever reason and I have got stuck in a bootloop and other things but I have always been able to fix it by directly into bootloader or recovery and reflashing. As things stand at the mo the only way of accessing either of these is through the reboot options on the phone.
[HTC Sensation] ti0:
When you s off did you install jupontubear hboot
[HTC Sensation] andya666:
I cannot honestly remember it was so long ago, I do remember the wire trick however...took me all evening!

I have just downloaded kgs1992's superutility and am going to try that now.
[HTC Sensation] ti0:
No when you boot into hboot it should say on top I remember having troubles at first and the I ran an ruu which gave me stock hboot and fixed pronvlems I had I was still s off afterwards so flashing a recovery was easy

Press thanks if I've helped you
[HTC Sensation] andya666:
Just to keep everyone updated, I haven't solved the problem yet. I installed an ruu which didn't help unfortunately and then I installed Venom again and ended up in a boot loop. KGS Utility has managed to get me to bootloader and recovery but I keep on ending up in a boot loop no matter what I do. Can anyone reccommend a rom that is reliable on first boot. I am not worried about how stable it is afterwards.

Change of plan, I installed another rom and this one does not bootloop, it just gets stuck and I cant seem to get access to the bootloader or recovery, any ideas?
[HTC Sensation] onemanshow85:
bootloop or ROM's not booting mostly means your ROM and FW don't match.

what's your current hboot info and FW, and what kind of ROM are you trying to install?
[HTC Sensation] andya666:
hboot is joupunut bear 1.27 the firmware is 3.32.401.3 and this rom is Android Revolution HD 7.1
[HTC Sensation] onemanshow85:
did you do a superwipe before installing ARHD?
[HTC Sensation] andya666:
I did, and in 4ext I formatted all partitions 3 times including the fat32 partition just to make double sure because I had a glitchy rom a while back and doing the format procedure more than once cured it.
[HTC Sensation] andya666:
Just to let everyone know I have a working rom again... i used adb with the phone turned off and through adb used the command "adb reboot recovery" this got me to recovery mode and I used http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1459767&highlight=super-wipe to update the firmware and reloaded my rom which has worked. I have a working phone now but I still only have fastboot and no hboot.

Finally got around to doing this. I took a few pictures but had to use a old droid since I use my phone as a camera. Took 3 pictures, 2 being of the phone with the battery / case and 1 being a comparison to the case that comes with the zerolemon battery.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Liptus:
I threw the holster away the day I got it. I'll be picking up a new case in a day or so and I'll update it then.

I used it for about and hour and a half heavily while in the car (bored) and it was fine.

I didn't have the right tips for the dremel so I had to use a grind stone, it looks incredibly sloppy but the rubber is so tight on it that I'm not worried about dust. I found the right tips after I was done (imagine that) so the case I do in a few days should look a lot better. No pointers really, you should be able to free hand it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] burntrat:
in addition to pics without the silicone cover, can you take pics with everyone on and show the back near the camera. wondering if theres a gap or something between the rubber and plastic. im glad you had the balls to do this. i didnt think it was possible.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Liptus:
I will show pics without the silicone but I'll update it later when I re do it with the right tool. I thought I posted a picture of the back. There is a gap but the battery seals tightly between the plastic and the silicone. There's definitely no chance of dust getting in but I'll add the picture once I'm home.

And yeah I was getting tired of not having a good case for my extended batteries.

I have been working 7 days a week, family and work come before xda ^^
[Galaxy S III Accessories] burntrat:
appreciate the pics man even though you being busy and all

that looks like a precise cut, very nice. any tips on how to get it right the first time?

the only thing that bothers me is the gap between the hardshell and silicone on the back (right under the camera).

i dont really care about the looks, but worry about rain water or whatever getting inside quicker.

since the original back cover is removed, the back and internals are technically more exposed.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] BigMosley:
Hey man I just purchased this battery and think your idea is awesome. I'm surprised no one has asked exactly how you modded this to make it work. So you cut the hard plastic backing and the outer silicone? The 3rd pic in the OP doesn't look like the silicone was cut.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] burntrat:
You leave off the original back cover and cut the back hard shell in the shape of the battery. The silicone stays intact.

Sent from my phone
[Galaxy S III Accessories] BigMosley:
Oh ok so the Otterbox silicone stays and not cut. I have a few defender cases I may try this why not. So really all you have to do is cut the hard plastic backing and your good to go?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] burntrat:
yep, just cutting one section. leave the silicone alone. the hard part would be getting the precise cut around the battery. i imagine if its too big of a hole, then the phone can rattle around inside.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] BigMosley:
Doesn't seem to hard I'm a construction worker I've done worse haha.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Liptus:
I could see it being susceptible to water but no more then it would be regularly. You could always use electrical tape under the case.

I used a dremel with a 20 grit circular bit. The original plastic back on the phone is removed since I didn't see a point in using it and the Otterbox. I did cut the plastic shell of the Otterbox itself but not the silicone. Keep the silicone at room temperature and fight it back onto the case. Once you get it on, pull the edges tight and hold it like that for 3 minutes or so. It molds to it fine and can be removed and put on easily after that.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] FXVIZI:
It was only a question.

Thanks! I think I'll try this with the cheaper bodyglove.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Liptus:
Just make sure the silicone will stretch enough. It barely fits the Otterbox.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] FXVIZI:
Will do.

Because you had to stretch the silicone so much do you think it's going to wear out faster? I've never seen the rubber last more than a year on my dad's iPhone.

Also, one last question, how big is the gap between the silicone and theplastic by the camera?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Liptus:
Not sure but even at a year I wouldn't mind 30$.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Coolfreak:
I did the mod and it fits well but the volume buttons are extremely hard to press. I had to really fight to get the silicone on but it's on good now. Only problem is I kinda have to press from behind the volume buttons towards the screen to hit the buttons. Power button is fine since I put that side on first. I need to somehow stretch the silicone just a millimeter I think but im not sure how.

Any advice?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] flipswitch5point:
What launcher is that? :eek:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Liptus:
I stretched mine without it being on the phone, once it was on the phone I just really worked at it. Mine fits on really well.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] akalakano84:
Just did the mod with my dremel,feels great and rubber fits perfectly and snug..
[Galaxy S III Accessories] BigMosley:
So the back of the battery is almost exposed if you look down the backside by the camera? Do you have any problems with volume buttons like others said?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] akalakano84:
At first the buttons were stiff and odd but that was due to not sanding down the edges around the battery ,the backside is exposed a tiny bit due to being rushed,depends on how.good you cut it,I did this in 3 minutes.Overall I like the mod,for this battery your are not gonna find any rugged case out there,it fits just like the regular defender minus a small piece of plastic on the back.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Liptus:
What exactly did you sand out of curiosity? I didn't sand anything on mine and it fits pretty snug.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] akalakano84:
The inner edges that were cut with the dremel, for me mine didnt come out so smooth so I sanded them down with the sand bit.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Liptus:
Oh, makes sense. I read to far into it lol.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] davtse:
Before anyone else tries this mod, take into consideration ZeroLemon has a new cover coming out soon, and is said to be "rugged" like otter box. Will be sold as a standalone according to joey at zero lemon.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] FXVIZI:
I was told some time in June it would be available. You? Did he give you any details on it or just that it is "Otterbox like"?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Liptus:
No, just that it's rugged, which is typically hard plastic covered in a silicone shell. If they can't keep it thin then I'll be keeping this mod as it fits perfectly and I like the looks of it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] davtse:
Not much else was divulged, he only said it would be like some of the more rugged otter box cases
[Galaxy S III Accessories] burntrat:
do you guys have a good way to put an outline of where to cut or did you guys just cut small and made it bigger through trial and error?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] dukebluedevildb:
Question...how are you able to keep your case clean? Im regretting getting white at this point.Trying to find a replacement case is proving difficult.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mionky:
I have the white also and have found it is difficult to keep clean. I emailed them through Amazon about buying a blue one, they told me to give them my order details and shipping address and they will send me one for free.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Liptus:
Trial and error on my first one. I can take a picture of just the piece that needs cut if that would help?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] burntrat:
nah not necessary. thanks though. i was just trying to figure out how to make a precise tight fitting cut on first try. i didnt want to over cut and leave gaps.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Liptus:
It would be a lot harder to over cut then it seems. The battery takes up almost the whole back side.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] dukebluedevildb:
Appreciate this tip...I did the same thing and they said they would send me a blue case free of charge as well!:good:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mionky:
I got a new case from zerolemon, but it was not the blue one I asked for. I got another black one. I would hate to ask them to send another one since they gave me this one.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] dukebluedevildb:
How long did it take you to get your case? I still haven't gotten a replacement yet. Its taking the case longer to get here than it did the battery. I'd be happy with anything other than this white case. But i wouldn't blame you if you asked them for a blue one again ...I mean its what you wanted in the first place!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mionky:
Yes that's true, but they did give it to me for free. I guess it wouldn't hurt to ask.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] hwy28spur:
Please do post picture showing where to cut.
