What rom you exactly? And what did you do to get it to work.. im very curious cause ive tried multiple times
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] einrae214:
Whats wrong?

Which themes are you trying to use. To my knowledge they all work. Remember if your coming from other themes you have to dirty flash the rom and then the theme. Also its for the T889UVBMB4 deodexed rooted rom. Not a stock update with root please let me know of any problems.

Sometimes my pen isn't recognized by my surface and I have to use the keyboard or the touch screen as the only input devices. After I place the pen in the charging holder for a little while it works fine again.

Does the pen need to be charged, or is mine just acting buggy? Anyone else having similar issues?
[Microsoft Surface] bountygiver:
the pen doesn't need charging, i think it may be due to faulty digitizer, better go and have it replaced.

you may just need to calibrate it or the tip might be bad try your eraser see if that end works ok

Hey guys, for a long time my apps are taking FOREVER to load (about five seconds). I was wondering if you guys have any fixes for this, and also I am running the ICS Cyanogen mod.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jetstream131:
OMAHGAWD!!!! LIKE 5 WHOLE SECONDS!? YOU LIFE MUST BE LIKE SO... LIKE BAD. #YOLO #FIRSTWORLDPROBLEMOS

But on a serious note, it varies for me per app. For example a game will take longer to open than for a light app. You should definitely run an overclock kernel. That makes a HUGE difference.

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PantsDownJedi:
I wasn't previously familiar with fastboot until this phone so I never tried to detect it while in fastboot. I did, however, have to try multiple times to get the CWM image to flash. In my case it would on the fastboot screen that I was plugged in by USB when I would plug in, then when I'd try to flash the image it would say "Waiting for phone" and just sit there. It took a number of reboots to get it on there. I know that isn't of much help but I see that you've asked 3 times and no one else had any feedback... all I can suggest is what you've probably already done; reboot back into fastboot and try again....

Sorry :(

There is also the other advice people tend to hand out which is to try a differant USB port.

Hello guys,

I'm from Brazil and here we still don't have the new Xperia Z, but I bought one in Europe and now I have a problem.

I really don't know how, but the glass on the back is cracked. It's on the inferior left corner.

The problem is that now I'm not able to use it without looking this crack.

Is there any place that has this glass??? I don't think it's easy to change it because it's waterproof, so I guess it's not that easy.

Sorry for my bad english, but I really need help of you guys.

Thank you
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dsteppa:
It's easy to change, the back part is just glued to the front part, there was a video that showed that you can remove the back part just by heating up the back part.

But I don't know where you can buy spare parts I think it will be expensive though.

Here is the disassemble video:

Yes same here, my back glass cracked...... Its was in my pocket then I pulled my phone out and put it on a leather couch, within seconds I heard a "Tick" I picked up my phone and the glass had cracked.

Hot in the pocket and cold leather couch made this glass crack. also happened to my wifes phone 20mins ago when she put it on the kitchen bench.... that's what made me write this to this thread.

Massive fault with this phone. Totally ruined the IP rating now which was the reason why I brought this phone. And there is no where selling replacements of glass yet.

As that guy sure is smacking the phone all over the place without any damage left to the phone.

I think your problem must have something to do with heat when charging.

But that should not be a problem as this phone is also "snow proof".

Taking it from the snow to inside should make it crack aswell then?

Sure hope you guys get your phones fixed soon.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mastrox:
You've got scared me! But after seven hours in charge my XZ is pretty cold. I used it for one day, it was very hot after 15 minutes of Web browsing but never when in charge. I hope that Sony tested it and know that using the phone it becomes like an induction plan where I can cook some eggs...
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bitcrusher:
I'm from the Netherlands and have the 6603 model. And i'm not the only one with a cracked XZ there. So far three reports of a crack, front or back, presumably all 6603 models.

It might be caused by poorly positioned glass panels. I know of two cases (my own and another) where a crack occurred and where the screen was positioned directly against one of the sides of the frame and not in the middle. I heard that the frame of the phone can shrink or expand a little due to temperature differences. This might cause the problem...

facebook - XperiaZScreenIssueCommunity - hope this gonna help ones there are a lot of participants
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digitalray:
i have an important question for all of you guys who have a cracked glass on the front or back.

did you apply the plastic screen protector foil that CAME IN THE BOX with the phone or not ?

i wondered why sony is even packing it in the box when the mineral glass should be extra hardened. i asked sony and they told me i should apply it because it will get no cracks then.

i did not know what to do with this info and applied the foil then, but still wondering why.

so, i'm curious for your answers to my question.

i don't have any cracks yet and played Real Racer 3 continuously for more than 2.5 hours that made the phone get real hot (uses more than 60 % of battery in about 30 minutes) and been charging it every night since release day. mine's a c6603 from amazon.de

it sounds hilarious, because the heat will do cracks if the glass is hot enough, regardless of the foil, but i guess they were not talking about normal cracks you get from small stones outside when you drop it, because hardened mineral glass should net get simple long cracks from that, maybe the glass will loose one point where it hits a spikey stone.

or maybe the foil really protects it from long cracks a hard spikey thing like a stone that hits it could do, but that has nothing to do with heat.

well.. i'm curious for answers.

and for a second question to all, did this happen with the 350 version oder the 434 update that makes the kernel go wild and overpower the cpu ?

i have a gap on the right front screen between glass and corner and nothing happened.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] froxor:
Can you check back of your phone, if glass back panel is fitted properly? You should have a little gaps between the glass and the frame. Some people reported issue that glass panel hasn't got same gaps around and one side is closer then other, or one side hasn't got any gap between the frame. This could maybe cause the glass to crack as it hadn't got space to expand when overheated.

No problems.

The people with cracking are you removing the anti-shatter film?

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoberM:
Man, maybe the back cover could crack in some remote ciscumstances where the battery, which is mounted directly touching the back cover, overheats a lot, and to break a crystal i mean a f*cking whole lot of overheating.

¿But front screen cover?, come on!, you must have someone at home that took his/her revenge for something while you were asleep, or maybe you dropped the phone that day making a small dent in the front crystal which expanded overnight.

Anyway if you really believe in what you are saying, just send the phone for service, if they don't see any sign of impact or rough handling, they will repair it under warranty.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wawyed:
As far as I know glass doesn't break if you heat and this is tempered glass which has been heated a lot to make it durable
