People asking this have the manual and know what it will officially do, they then want to ask others who have pushed it to see if it worked in other situations. Those who have pushed it then let these people (who want to know this information) that it worked and to what level they did it.

I think you should keep out of others business rather than tell those who ask they are not allowed, and those who reply they shouldn't be doing so unless they are specifically saying it can officially do something it can't. We shouldn't be basing this on restricting all those wanting to do this (the vast majority asking want to know!) on the potential stupid few out there.

It is not "wrong advice" it is answering a question. And it is not "not ok" to do something just because the manual says it is not recommended, it is just not recommended.

I sincerely hope that the seals used on the device have 0 chemical resistance to alcohol attack... as not every elastomer is alcohol resistant :p
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
Your first statement that people asking these questions have the manual is blatantly wrong. Here are 2 people I have replied to recently, where I have given the correct information that do not have the phone yet. You will notice that others feel the need to butt in with incorrect advice in both cases -

and

As for the manual saying things are 'not recommended', where does it say those words here? -

It says "Do not". Nowhere does it say anything on that page is a recommendation.

So, yeah, whatever. I'm wrong for telling people not to do stupid things with their phones and asking others not to do so :rolleyes:

If someone comes here asking if they should go in the sea, the shower or Willy Wonka's chocolate river with their phone, the only correct answer is "no". Whatever you may decide to do with your own property, the wrong answer should not be given to someone asking the question.

In any case, perhaps you should take your own advice and stay out of my business as I'm not the one with the wrong attitude here. Give people the correct information and let them decide how to handle their device afterwards.

Have a nice day :beer:
[Xperia Z General] wyterabitt:
Firstly that would come under the part where I said "unless they are specifically saying it can officially do something it can't", so l already covered it.

Secondly the manual is not a law, you can do whatever you want with your phone, it just is not recommended to do things it states shouldn't be done. But that is all they are, even when they are saying "do not" it is just a recommendation as you can do whatever the hell you want if you are willing to take the risks involved (ignoring law issues obviously). I wan't sepcific enough though, so that is my fault I should be more careful in making sure my point is obvious especially after being up all night for a deadline.

As for "So, yeah, whatever. I'm wrong for telling people not to do stupid things with their phones and asking others not to do so :rolleyes:" it seems fairly irrelevant after my other two points - mainly the first. I have no problem making sure information in the situation you mentioned is correct :highfive:
[Xperia Z General] Ryland Johnson:
With respect I think we are now being diverted into the realms of fiction. It has not been suggested on this thread that people cannot do what they like with their paid for owned property, they can within the law of the land. This debate is regarding the advertising campaign in relation to what owners are doing with their property. Under those terms I am merely suggesting that Sony have been unwise to advertise the Sony XZ in the fashion they have. Now, what proof do we have for this stand point?

How many threads have we seen regarding people dunking any other top end phone to test it? Non and why? Because non of the other top end rivals at present claim water and dust resistance? It is because other brands do not make such claims that owners will not do odd things with their mobile. Due to the way Sony market the XZ far too many ARE taking risks that in reality are NOT covered under warranty should damage occur.

No one is suggesting that an owner must come to this thread and obey what is written. I opened this thread with good honest open intentions.

I understand rather a lot about water resistance and know just how an owner can misunderstand the idea that the XZ is water proof and can be used in water, any water doing any activity, again proof of this are the clips, posts and posts from other forums where posters are relating how they have damaged the XZ.

Sir, you own your phone if you want to drive your car over it this is absolutely your prerogative. I would fight for your right to do so. This thread is about advice and a heads up nothing more.

As a BTW did you realise that a percentage on the mark up price of all these devices, from all brands, is set aside to allow for warranty claims? So indirectly every ill advised person (plonker) who takes his mobile swimming or in the sauna then wastes the time of a Sony technician is adding to the retail price of what we are paying for. Same goes for supermarkets, they also allow a percentage to cover shop lifting. We also pay for the thieves! Logistics.

[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
I wouldn't bother to reply to him Ryland. He obviously cannot comprehend what people are trying to convey to him.

I have said many times that people can do whatever they want with their own device and he still thinks I'm trying to stop people swimming etc with their phone.

I don't actually care what others do with their phone. I just take issue with the irresponsible people telling others that the device is able to withstand more than the stated limits.

Will those supposed experts that obviously know more than Sony pay for a new device when somebody destroys theirs following their advice? I think not :rolleyes:
[Xperia Z General] jonmorris:
I got a bit of grief on Twitter for pointing out that Sony seems to be doing this because, by and large, the phones are perfectly water proofed in most cases. They can be used underwater without risk most of the time.

BUT.....

...the problem, as I experienced on my Z3 and have since discovered affects lots of other people (and then someone who does repairs gave me more info) is that heat can soften the glue, and if you actually think that when your phone gets hot the best idea is to dunk it in water, well that can cause a thermal shock that creates a small gap on the rear cover - which then means it's no longer water proof.

We know there's an engineering option to do a pressure test, and I think Sony has generally repaired phones quietly - but probably doesn't want to anymore.

There are heat problems going back to the Z1 and Z2, but the Z3 was bad, the Z3+ WAY bad and it's not yet known how the Z5 family will do (but early previews suggest a lot of the issues HAVE been fixed). I am not surprised Sony has felt the need to do this, but it really doesn't look good as so many people have - as expected - quoted the countless times Sony has bigged up the phones being ideal for pool parties etc.

They started with water resistant and I remember writing, with others, about the risk of changing to the phrase water proof. But, it's not really the fault of the user if the problems occur due to heat - and not someone just being silly and leaving a port cover open.

Sony will no doubt want everyone to think it's always user error, and who can argue with them?

As someone said to me on Twitter, if you don't let the phone get hot then you probably won't have any problems. Ironically, that means it's probably safer to keep it wet more than keeping it dry!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kwjake:
Hello All,

I was living over seas for the past couple of years, and my Defy+ (unlocked from Amazon) running MIUI 3.1.27 worked fine on GSM 3G. I just moved back to the States, and got a new T-Mobile SIM... unfortunately I am only able to get EDGE :( The T-Mobile salesman said that unless I had an official T-Mobile android device, I would be unable to get 3G. I have tried using the baseband switcher (Selected US T-Mobile 3.4.2-107-4, US T-Mobile 3.4.2-107-9, and US T-Mobile 6.x.x.0) but am still only able to get EDGE. I have also tried a factory reset and a re-flash, but the issue persists.

So am I stuck with EDGE or is there something else that I can try?

[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Weekend Offender:
Did you used the p500 source ?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] KalZakath:
Mikegapinski and pcfighter were trying to run lk 3.0.x without succes few months ago. I think that is not possible to run it on gt540 but i keep fingers crossed for your work.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Moster2:
Its basically the same hardware as the p500. I guess it should work somehow
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] untorched:
@smileydr0id: It's for msm7x27, not specified which device. Source from androidarmv6 team with modifications by Miro.

@KalZakath: It must work, but i think this need older boot configuration.

@Moster2: only cpu and gpu is the same. GT540 have other drivers, ram size etc.

If p500 and other msm7x27 devices works with this kernel then gt540 must work too with it. But now I don't know how to do it.

I need debug this kernel when it's booting, but I don't know how.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Weekend Offender:

I must try LG config and sources for Gt540 from their older kernel source. We'll see. I've heard that nobody can't boot 4.x android on GT540 but now it's working.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Weekend Offender:
with which system are you trying to boot it with ?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] untorched:
It doesn't matter, because kernel is not booting in "very low level". There must be a invalid memory address. Even kernel logo doesn't load, so it's very hard to fix it.

I must find way to debug it without UART or something like this ;c

If somebody have a idea pls tell me :D

Maybe using download mode? Anybody know something about this? Have tools?

[GT540 Optimus Android Development] shiny shoes:
same question. Why do we need this new kernel?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] untorched:
LOL. Because it have better memory managment, it is faster, better power managment and other.. When it'll be done then we can make full working CM10.1 and next version like 4.3.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] geopapa:
Just look at the difference between 2.6.29 and 2.6.35.10 kernels.. Though the newer kernel lacks some features (headset buttons, deep sleep with bt/wifi on) it is uncomparable in terms of performance and memory management...
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] mikegapinski:
You need to do the port in a little other way. All the drivers like ts, lcd and many others need to be adapted for new kernel 3.x api. That is why nobody wanted to do it, it is a nightmare, believe me. And one more thing, if your kernel doesn't show first or second logo you can't say that it is bootable ;) the same thing will happen if you flash any other zImage
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] untorched:
Mike, kernel with drivers from p500 is starting normally. It shows your lockscreen, but you can't unlock and screen is "moved"(i don't know how explain that).

Hey guys. Im a noob here. just thought i'd share something is stumbled upon.

This is probably the easiest and quickest method to ROOT your Cherry Mobile Flame 2.0/ Karbonn S1 Titanium.

STEPS:

1. Download ZIP File for rooting in the attachments below

2. Connect your device to a pc and copy and paste the ZIP file you just downloaded to the external card on the device. (it really does not matter if your phone is in USB debugging mode or not.)

3. Disconnect the device from the PC safely and turn it off.

4. Hold the volume up key+ power button at the same time until a green screen appears. (this is the fastboot mode) Keep holding until screen turns red (recovery mode) and release to enter stock recovery.

5. Navigate using hardware buttons (power to confirm selections) and wipe cache partition and factory reset data.

6. select "apply update from external SD card" and navigate to where you pasted the ZIP file for rooting.

7. Confirm the ZIP file selection and wait for the process to finish.

8. Reboot the device.

THAT'S IT!!!

your phone should now be rooted. the super user app should now be visible in the app drawer of the device.

Thanks.
