[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skinzy98:
It is extremely difficult to replace the screen without buying a digitizer and screen set. A special machine puts the screen and digitizer extremly close together making it almost impossible to take the screen and digitizer apart without breaking the digitizer. Its better just to replace both
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] romitkin:
If the phone you bought has a working digitizer and a working LCD, you don't even need to use a heat gun. You can just take the whole LCD+digitizer assembly out of the phone you bought (or opposite, because you open the phone from the back side and you take all components out until you are left with just the screen assembly). Then you can put your Vibrants parts there instead.

I actually just whent ahead and did that. One thing though, how can I get the ffc to work. Im gonna re update the phone to a jb rom reall soon and I want the ffc and the cam of the 959v to work? Is it possible?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skinzy98:
You can't flash a t959v ROM with front camera. Although if you'll find an i9000 ROM you like I'll get permission from the dev hopefully and port you one son that from facing works. You are talking about a vibrant with FFC right?

Well I'm running slim bean 4.2.2 now. Can I use the FFC with this ROM?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iTz KeeFy:
I'm pretty sure most custom Roms support a FFC now, there are Froyo Roms that support a FFC so I'm willing to bet a JB ROM will. If for some reason you have trouble you can check this thread out http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=945791

hey guys well im just about starting to enjoy then xperia z ive just a couple of questions

on the usb charge port there seems to be some light leakage (when flap open) just woundering if anyones is the same (need to be in dark room)

and my power button seems to be a bit wobbly not stupid just a bit

only ask as there 2 things im worried about letting water in :silly:

thaks
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brutal_noise:
I have the same leak, I don't think that's a problem, however the power button seems fine.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akiainavas:
That's not a problem, the port is so close to the screen, you can actually see the backlight when the cover is open.

The button is wobbly on every device, it was designed this way - it has to rotate a little bit to let the water dry out easily. It won't leak, no worries.

As long as your covers are firmly closed, you can submerge your phone and nothing will happen :)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neon Samurai:
Hello, All.

It seems I'm pretty close to bricking this thing so I thought I would ask you guys for help.

I'm not that experienced with this kind of stuff, but I was able to unlock my bootloader, and installed a custom recovery TWRP, using the Droid_Incredible_4G_LTE_All-In-One_Kit_v2.1 from hasoon2000,

It won't let me install a rom to the device. Been having some trouble with ADB as well. Seems like it won't recognize the phone when it's on the bootloader menu, but it will when it's in recovery mode. So using ADB i pushed a rom file to the device while in recovery and was able to get it on the sd card, but when I try to load the rom using TWRP it gives me an error msg. I thought that I might have to get rid of the old OS first before loading a new one so now I don't have an OS at all.

I feel like I'm missing something here, like I skipped a step or something... do i need to flash the kernel, or relock the bootloader? Confused as to why I can't load up a rom.

Thanks in advance for any help. Much appreciated.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chromium:
before flashing a rom you should go into the wipe menu of twrp and wipe everything. Then install the rom zip. What error are you getting when try to flash the rom?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neon Samurai:
Sorry for the late response. I guess I don't really check my email without a smartphone.

Ok so in TWRP I go into wipe, and do Cache - Successful! Davik Cache - Successful! System: Successful! Factory Reset - Failed (and in the list it says:

unable to mount '/sdcard' a buncha times.

Then if i try to install a rom from the sd card it says

Error flashing zip 'external_sd/rom.zip'

Updating partition details...

I guess what makes no sense to me is that it can't mount the sd card. Does it need to be on the internal "sdcard" instead of the mini sd I have the file on? IDK so confused...

Awhile ago I used "App Quarantine" to quarantine some apps that I wasn't using. Since you brought this up though I had a look again in the quarantine list and also noticed the following 'com.xxxx files in quarantine as well which I never placed in there myself so I have no clue if that's normal or if they are associated with the apps I quarantined \, and no didn't select 2G or 3G ONLY, but I have switched DATA off entirely:
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gm007:
Not sure but could be some of this app is needed by the system,and causing the call drop.

Did you have this issue before rooting?

Best place to start is a stock no rooted firmware.

You can also try deleting fast-dormancy-wakeup.apk .odex

Or try 2g only.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] airbus318:
Thanks for the feedback. Just curious what the correlation between using 2G vs 3G would be with phone call reliability? And what is the 'fast-dormancy-wakup.apk .odex you are referring to?

Honestly I think I did have this issue before rooting but very difficult to be certain of this.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] airbus318:
So I took everything out of quarantine and no changes. Still dropping calls.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Montague:
I thought I was the only one in the world having the same problem back then when I first got my phone in march.... But it looks like yours might suffer the same thing as mine did. I live in Alberta.

My friend, when the call drops, does the signal appears to be resetting itself?

What is the longest call time that you ever have on this phone?

When did you get your phone, was it like that when you first got it
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] airbus318:
The feeling is mutual! There are times (or more specifically areas) where my phone behaves normally. In my home I can stay in a call forever. However about 2km away when driving on this particular road, at the same point every time, my call will drop. It does not appear that the signal/network is resetting itself when this happens (ie drops to no signal and comes back). I got my phone when it was released, actually this one is my second, I cracked the screen on my first one within a week. I can't quite recall if I had these issues from the beginning because as stated it happens when I am moving around.

I am now about to try to restore my phone to factory but before I do, I am wondering if I use the backup/restore app included, will I retain all my apps, their data/settings, and all my contacts and texts?

Should I use this app or PC Companion?

Do I need to do anything special or just use PC Companion for a restore to get back to stock settings (including un-rooting).

Thanks
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Montague:
I would suggest you to use the pc companion to repair the Rom. This will wipe all data from your phone just like the factory reset would.

If you did all these and found the phone still behaving like that, I think there might be something wrong with the hardware of the phone, it's highly recommend you return your phone for an exchange.

My first xperia z was like that, even worse I would say. Mine just won't let me call.. I never had the call time more than a minute it cut me off randomly, sometimes right away when the call was established, sometimes it cut me at 2 seconds..

When I got my replacement everything is just fine
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] airbus318:
Ya I figured it out. Just completed the restore with PC Companion. I did use the backup/restore function though to restore my contacts/texts/data/settings etc. Any chance you think by restoring this info the problem could migrate back? I can confirm I am not rooted anymore.

Now will test the phone calls. I will be in those areas where I know for sure my calls would drop, tomorrow. I'll report back. Really hope this works.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Montague:
It might work. I do think it will solve the problem. Yours wasn't as bad as mine mine just wouldn't let me made any calls and the signal kept reseting whenever I call.

Good luck and will wait for your report.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] airbus318:
Tomorrow I head to an area where it was virtually 100% dropped calls for me so I will report back how it goes after the restore/unroot.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] airbus318:
No changes I'm afraid :( Still the same behavior. My next move is to take 2 other phones with me now, one being an iPhone 4 and attempting to use in those same areas. I find it very strange behavior on my phone's part and wonder if it's an area issue but these are dense, populated areas.

Frustrated......
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Montague:
Or what you could also try is to borrow a sim card from someone and then test in those areas.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] airbus318:
I do have a spare sim card with FIDO. I just switched to the LTE card a few weeks ago. I guess I can call them and switch back to the older sim temporarily to see if the issue lies there. I will try the phones first. If I get the same symptoms with other phones, I will then try the sim card.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demon2112:
I have the same problem in about 4minutes my calls drop,doesnt matter were i am, on a side note dough,i use a normal sized simcard and cut it to fit my Z sooooo i guess my sim isnt playing nice with the Z ill get my microsim next week so i will report back and let you know if a completely new updated micro sim with lte enabled and ready is the fix
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] airbus318:
Thanks for the feedback, in a couple hours I'll be in one of those areas where I experience this and will try my iPhone 4 and then try switching back to an older Fido micro sim. I'll report this afternoon.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] airbus318:
So interestingly today my iPhone 4 dropped a call in the same area. It also was having signal issues, cutting in and out, but managing to maintain the call too in various spots. So I'm starting to believe now that this may be a network issue with my provider and the area in question. I find it very odd though that it can be such a large and dense area. There is about a 2 mile stretch of this road where I frequently receive dropped calls. How can that possible in a city?? By the way I also swapped the sim cards when trying all this out.

Does it have anything to do with the fact that it's right on the approach path of a runway at the international airport, or near a military base? Keep in mind that I do occasionally get the dropped calls in other spots in the city as well but this area specifically is terrible.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demon2112:
Omg...runway...i experienced it aswel when i mentiont it yesterday now i think of it it was along side schiphol airport amsterdam a mayor one,it could be one of the sources of the bug,i think it could be more reasons in the equation like,old sim,no lte sim,thus maybe bad contact with sim,radio interferrence ect.ect.

I gues al those factors in on the call droppin
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] airbus318:
An update. Perhaps the most intriguing thing I have found so far but not exactly sure what it means.

If I switch my data to GSM only (ie Edge) the phone calls instantly become rock solid. No more dropping. As soon as I switch back to WCDMA mode (3G & HSPA+) the problem comes right back.

Starting to sound more and more like a network issue with the provider. I have relayed this info to my cell provider and they are looking into it and getting back to me.

Anyone else find this?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xchasa:
I can say I've not had one single dropped call in 3 weeks. Running 434 UK in Sydney Australia. Hope you get it sorted mate.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Montague:

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demon2112:

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demon2112:
Any update?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] airbus318:
Sorry for the delayed update everyone. So after countless hours spent troubleshooting and speaking with Fido techs it would appear that this could very well be an issue with their service in particular areas. What I took from our discussions is that when a phone is switching from 3G/HSPA to EDGE or vice versa the phone fully disconnects and reconnects from the radio towers. So in other words, if there were network issues where I was in regards to the 3G/HSPA data spectrum, it would revert to EDGE and momentarily disconnect my phone. Hence why my calls were solid when switching my data mode to EDGE only. They were going to look into the questioned area and get back to me but of course I never did receive that call back.

This is a great idea to fully confirm that the problem lies with Fido/Rogers. I will try to get my hands on a Telus or MTS sim and go back to that area. On the other hand, it's been a while now since I raised the issue with Fido, perhaps they took steps to resolve the network issues if there were in fact any.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diego9016:
I'm having this as well... It's so annoying. I'm thinking in switching to a One or something despite the fact that I love my Z.

It's so frustrating having this call drops in my home... If someone can find a solution please share, I don't want to change my Z but I think I have no choice.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] airbus318:
Do you have issues connecting to 3G/H data in your home?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diego9016:
No. Internet connection works great, but the call drops are constant. Sometimes I can't even talk for a minute because the call just drops and it keeps dropping.

Maybe an app that is newly installed or updated?

If I couldn't manage to solve it I would have restored to an earlier backup of your current rom and checked if that solved it. Of course take a backup first.

If restoring solves it I would have tried to reflash rXtreme v.8 without wipe. If the battery usage is still normal I would then reinstall those missing apps / tweaks one by one and check if they are responsable for the battery issue.

[Networking] Analyst:
I had a damm similar problem as i could not sync the device via bluetooth.

I have an XDA2 and upgraded my rom to the o2 release from last week. I was hoping that all the serial profile issues would have been resolved in respect to bluetooth gps, but it just made things worse as there are no obvious setting in which i can assign a serial profile to a particular port or even get activesync to work no matter what.

So finally I gave in and downloaded the Bluetooth Tools by Towas again and installed them. Straight away my xda2 was bonding with my gps again and when u add ur pc as a new device (new bonding), under the bluetooth tools u simply select activesync. then u can straight away sync initiated by the xda2 and once a connection is established, u get automatically internet access.

another issue was that my bluetooth software on the pc created too many 'dummy' serial com ports for bluetooth which didnt actually work, so i ended up removing them all under the device manager (windows system- hardware) and then setting up a new bluetooth serial port on my pc (make sure u set up just one).

get the bluetooth tools from:
