[HTC Sensation] kevinci:
Hi all, I am hoping there is an Egg head of epic proportions can help.

I had my sensation plugged into a griffin duel car charger which went pop.

The phone works fine if I use a battery charged with an external battery charger but -

when plugged into a wall charger the led is solid orange and the battery indicator animates charging, however the battery will go flat just as it would if not plugged in.

When plugged into the laptop the charging situation is the same as above but the laptop cannot see the phone at all.

I am not against taking it apart and changing a bit but cannot find any other similar problem on the internet.

Any help at all would be very welcome.

Thanks in advance,

K
[HTC Sensation] bitaktus:
What do you mean with 'went pop'?

Sounds like your (mini-)USB-board is broken.
[HTC Sensation] kevinci:
To clarify the Griffin in car duel usb charger went pop. I opened it up and a tiny tin can on the circuit board had exploded. From then on the phone has the described problem. If it is the mini usb board is it fixable or replacable?

Thanks for your advice

K
[HTC Sensation] PopaStefanx:
Yes is fixable search teardown guide on youtube and you will see how to remove motherboard, if not you can at least boot in FASTBOOT USB?
[HTC Sensation] kevinci:
Thanks for the advice PopaStefanx

Do you think i need to replace the whole motherboard? I was hoping for a cheaper fix if possible.

k
[HTC Sensation] PopaStefanx:
Don't know if your phone work you can look at the lines that are used to. Connect motherboard to the charger connection

[Xperia Z General] BobKatz:
Just a comment to all those grumpy gusses who say that just because the XZ says it waterproof to 1m for 30min you shouldn’t try it and use the example that just because a car has seat belts would you slam your car into a wall to test them.

How many car advert have there been that show the wondrous features of their seat belts, very few. The advert for XZ shows a happy couple pouring water on their phone to the strains of David Bowie, it’s one of the main selling feature of the device! The simile you should use is that my car has a sun roof but I don’t want to open it while we’re moving just in case it rips the roof off!

[Xperia Z General] BobKatz:
In the same way in all phone adverts they don't show how you can make calls, or send texts because they all do it.
[Xperia Z General] Ryland Johnson:
May I ask a favour of you? Could you possibly post a link to any Sony literature that has it written that the XZ is waterproof please.

Many thanks.
[Xperia Z General] decadan1977:
The foamers are beginning to foam :D

Think he just means resistant.
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
In the user guide that is available on the handset itself, it plainly states the phone is water resistant, not water proof. It seems some people either don't read the literature that is available or do not understand the difference between proof and resistant :D
[Xperia Z General] Ryland Johnson:
I agree with you 100% and that is WHY I wrote about the difference initially to mention this to fellow owners. To me prevention being better than cure.

Hey, when owners pay there cash they own their mobile, its their property, again my only desire was to advise some members here that the phone is not water proof and should not be taken swimming or used in a sauna as one poor owner did thus damaging his phone by allowing moisture into the XZ camera.

Regards
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
I still treat my phone as if it is not water resistant, as I do not want to become careless with it and leave it in situations where it might get damaged. To me the water resistance is there as a "just in case" measure if the worst happens and you drop the phone in water or spill something.

Then again, I treat expensive items with the respect they deserve, unlike some people I see around absolutely hammering their phones as if they aren't a £500 piece of equipment :)
[Xperia Z General] Ryland Johnson:
Exactly. I share your thoughts.:) Its a question of respect for our property bought about by the knowledge of the devices we use, plus common sense.

I take it you haven't tried the 'soup test' yet then :eek:

Regards
[Xperia Z General] BobKatz:
Looking at most of you I see that your in the UK, therefore have you heard of a thing called the Advertising Standards Agency (ASA) there remit is deal with inaccurate or misleading adverts. So if you were to wash your phone as per the TV advert, or drop into a bowl of water as per the printed adverts, or as per their website claims hold it under 1m of water for half an hour you can because if anything happened to your device you could make a legal complaint through them, be compensated and have every jot of XZ water resistance advertising dropped.

Also now that the phone has been out for a couple of months have a look on asa. org. uk and see how many complaints there have been about Sony’s water resistance claims. If you don’t like make a complaint.

Just as an aside if you have a spare 5mins do go on the site and have a look at what some people do complain about!! There are some real odd balls out there!
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
No chance! Anyway, it's too hot to be eating soup, hahaha :D
[Xperia Z General] BobKatz:
Ok one thing we can agree on soup, saunas are not in the adverts
[Xperia Z General] Ryland Johnson:
Again I can but agree with you entirely.

I live in Southern Europe where temperatures can reach well above 40 degrees, its 27 degrees today. In October last year I had to return my Samsung Nexus S to the outlet as the on off switch didn't work. After some time I was informed that the phone was water damaged? Do you know what I was told? We cannot keep our mobiles in our pockets as when we perspire the moisture enters the mobile! I was asked to pay for the repair. Only this month was the phone returned, it has taken all this time to fight for my consumer rights. This is NOT the UK.

To add insult to injury The phone lasted two days and is back with exactly the same problem.

It is not only the odd ball complaint that amuse me its what some owners subject their phones too. Have you seen the clip of the 'person' dropping a lump hammer onto his XZ then complaining the glass broke?

The XZ clearly has a greater IQ than some of the owners :rolleyes:
[Xperia Z General] that-fat-old-man:
I wouldn't use mine under the shower, but cleaning it once in a while with some water and soap is okay.
[Xperia Z General] waveloom:
Sony XZ has certification IPX5 and 7, for dust proof and water proof.

Can be used freely for 30 minutes in any sweet water situation, within 1 meter of pressure.

Also, is certified that there will not be intrusion of sand and dust inside of device, in contact with fine or thick dust.

All other objections about this, are pointless...

http://www.camerasunderwater.co.uk/ip-ratings
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
Resistance not proof :)

Limited dust resistance and water resistance up to 1m depth for 30 minutes.

Neither of those statements means dust or water proof. The IP ratings are not a green light to go swimming with the device either, especially not in chlorinated or sea water ;)
[Xperia Z General] waveloom:
I agree about salty or chlorid water, beside that... a short exposition with this kind of water, are allowed, if you quickly rinse the device after use.. that's why youtube start to be filled with people making underwater videos at lake or pools, with the XZ.

Hi all Im new to the forum and I am currently on an iPhone 5. Im tired of having to wait for a JB just to customize my phone so it will function the way I like, so I am thinking of going to the GS4 when it comes out. My iPhone is unlocked at the moment and I was curious to know is it the same process to unlock Android phones as it is for iPhones i.e. the carrier has to do it? I did a search and it seems if the device is rooted you can unlock it your self or with a script. Rooting reads like it may be difficult unlike a JB from envasi0n or some other way of JB the device.

Thank you for any information and be gentle :laugh:
[General Questions and Answers] immortalneo:
You can usually unlock ur device using an app after rooting.

Depending on ur device, rooting can be plain easy or a bit complicated. But unlike jailbreaking, rooting gives a lot more power to u and ur device! :)

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] besserde:
This is a bad week. Yesterday I dropped my Xperia Z onto the pavement, and it got a major damage at the polyamid frame on the upper right corner. It could have benn worse. no display or back glass broken. Oh, and the cover for the headset plug has to be replaced, too. See the sad picture attached. Repair will cost about 112 Euros (and I think another 100 Euros for spare parts) Today my SanDisk 32GB micro SDHC died from one second to another. Completely dead. It's not even recognized anymore, regardless in which PC or Android Device I put it in.

However, enough self-pity, my question is: How do I secure my whole phone from curious repair-workers? My smartphone is essentially full of sensible and private Data. Emails, Texts, Photos, all the Apps with stored Logins (Facebook and the likes).

My first idea is the Android built-in Encryption under Settings > Security > Encrypt Phone. I've never done that, because it says it takes a whole hour, and there is no information about this encryption can be reverted. Because maybe some App stops working, or it makes the whole phone slow. And now the most important question: Is it worth the effort? Is it really secure facing an autorized sony repair staff member?

Secondly I came up with the thougt of doing a backup. Maybe the Repairman calls me and says he has to do a full service test to ensure every internal bit an piece is still working after repair. Which might mean he has to have access to the phone (and the service menu). Since I have encrypted and locked my phone, this can only be done via factory reset. So I should have an complete backup. Has anyone ever tried the built in backup and restore? Does it really backup everything? Every App, evry Data, every setting (widgets and stuff), well plain and simple - a copy of my phone current state? At the moment it only offers me to backup system files and data, might be due to the fact that there is no sd-card and the internal memory has not enough space.

Any other backupsolutions? My phone is not rooted, and rather shouldn't be (warranty issues)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dsteppa:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2116920

There you go.

But anyways, I'd say root your phone install cwm and do a nandroid backup. Save the backup file(s) somewhere else (not on your phone duh). Then do a factory reset and send the phone like that.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] besserde:
I wasn't sure if my question concerning encryption is right in the Troubleshooting forums. But if so, maybe an admin can move the thread?

According to your answer I assume the aformentioned stock backup solution isn't that useful at all?

What's with the encryption security?
