Newest build has rotation problem fixed.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] mistermidas:
Rotation problem as in the YouTube issue? Because I still need to disable hardware overlays for landscape mode to play properly on the newest build.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] chadouming:
On that, i blame the rom. Working fine here and with multiple user i have talked to.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] mistermidas:
Which ROM are you using?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] javskies:
How about the stretched camera issue?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] chadouming:
Cyanogenmod compiled with CAF driver.

there is a version for sprint on my server : http://ribs.bbqdroid.org/
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Sputnikk23:
+1 on stretched camera issue and now my experience is reversed. the only camera app i can get to work is stock. Orientation is fuxored in 3rd party apps and its choppy.

I'm unable to turn on WiFi with the latest smoocha (2013-07-07-17 etc).

Anyone else?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Bdadd34:
Its working for me on latest rootbox.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] jblazea50:
Getting System UI crash on 07/08 build.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] JeauxAdam:
Do you have WiFi disabled in the profile you're using?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] ihitcows:
Actually, I have profiles disabled.

What's more, I just found out I get the same symptom (WiFi can only stay on until I turn it off for the first time, I think) with or without smoocha.

EDIT: I'm gonna stop jacking this thread now. Please pardon my flagrant noobing.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Sputnikk23:
please stop injuring cows as well
[Sprint LG Optimus G] chadouming:
Anyone want to try the latest rom i pushed for sprint to know if it work or still crashes ?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] VoluntaryMan:
It works.

Been using it since this morning.

Thanks a lot for a CAF cm10.1!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] jblazea50:
What's CAF? How is it different from Shel's CM?

Sorry for the noob question.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] chadouming:
Added part of Exit_only's direct injection script. Now we have dns_caching.

To turn on, open terminal and type :

su

dnsmasq_on

(wait a bit) 2

To turn off :

su

dnsmasq_off

(wait a bit) 2

Edit : Turned it on by default.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] customz123:
Nice for your roms i download the one that says geehrc
[Sprint LG Optimus G] chadouming:
If you have a sprint phone, it's the one saying geehrc4g_spr_us
[Sprint LG Optimus G] hazedabeast:
Does this give pretty good battery life? And does it have deep sleep?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MikeEx:
You've probably tried it for yourself by now, but yes, deep sleep and great battery life.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] chadouming:
Removed DnsMasq as it was causing trouble with USB tethering / wifi ap.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] VoluntaryMan:
I noticed the latest build is missing the device name "smoocha-2013-07-26-22-13-.zip."

Which is it for?

Thanks.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] blmvxer:
Whichever one its for. It broke WiFi.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] chadouming:
That one was an error, it should have ended in my test folder. It's 4.3 so it wont work.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] blmvxer:
Your website is down. :/
[Sprint LG Optimus G] gisforgirard:
Seeing the same thing, looks like the folder was deleted...
[Sprint LG Optimus G] VoluntaryMan:
The other thread has the info. It's probably down until 4.3 is working.

You can DL the last build from a mirror in the thread.

All of his kernels bootloops any of our ROMs. They only work specifically on his builds.

They used to work for 4.2 so I was hoping it would for 4.3. Oh well:(
[Sprint LG Optimus G] bigfdaddy2:
His 9-16 build didn't boot loop me .. I just lost the display lol... Display would light up and phone would boot normally but no display...

Need to download their cm 10.2 build in order to use their kernal ...their kernel is only working on their specific builds .... I'm currently using this setup ...

I'm fairly sure I flashed it after I had already flashed beanstalk, then just wiped cache and dalvik, though I'm not entirely sure. I'll try it out again this evening once I'm home from work and let you know.

[Xperia Z General] reptile64:
E-mail from Sony:

Dear Mr. *********

Thank you for contacting Sony Xperia Support.

First of all we are sorry you experiencing issues with your Sony Mobile handset

With regards to your inquiry, we would like to inform you that, Sony Xperia Z mobile phone features a tempered and scratch-resistant display glass. In addition, the glass often has a shatterproof layer, an anti-shatter film (ASF), over it. The purpose of the anti-shatter film (ASF) is to make the display withstand being dropped from greater heights. The anti-shatter film has a positive effect on the sensitivity and accuracy of the touch screen.

The anti-shatter film is softer than the display glass and thus less scratch-resistant. If the layer is peeled off the display will lose some its shatterproof characteristics.

Note: Please note that we do not recommend the removal of the anti-shatter film. This voids the warranty. In cases where the device needs to have the anti-shatter film replaced, we would suggest you to visit one of the authorized Sony Mobile Service Centers in order to have your Sony Xperia™ Z mobile phone thoroughly checked.

So... DO NOT remove your Shatter Proof Sheet as you could void your warranty!! WTF Sony?!

:mad:
[Xperia Z General] G1_enthusiast:
so if you want an oleophobic film u need to put on top of the anti-shatter film well thats dumb.
[Xperia Z General] reptile64:
I have applied an SPG and the screen is working fine, but I'd prefer not to use any screen protector at all as they are extremely difficult to apply perfect without bubbles dust and aligned correctly... it's a nightmare!!
[Xperia Z General] BR4DOKYBrazil:
Some say lose the warranty, others say not lose the warranty! And now?
[Xperia Z General] reptile64:
I think that they will not even notice if you remove the film, or they could.. because of the sony logo!!! :mad: :rolleyes:
[Xperia Z General] Thraxzzz:
It all boils down to individual preferences ;) if you wanna remove , go ahead, I personally think it's nicer to have it removed :)
[Xperia Z General] reptile64:
I bet that most of us don't want to lose the Sony logo
[Xperia Z General] searley:
I think you will lose warranty in relation to the screen

However if the phone develops another fault like the battery or motherboard, then this should still be covered as the can't prove that removal of the film damaged the battery for example
[Xperia Z General] --anx--:
In my opinion, same thing as HTC warranty with locked bootloader...

Here, if you have problems that isn't related to screen shatters or something similar, it will covered by warranty for sure.

They don't want to honour the warranty even if the problem isn't related to the screen? CALL THEM! Don't let a mail or a message close the whole thing...it's your right, you'll have to become THEIR WORST NIGHTMARE.:good:
[Xperia Z General] FiveInline:
Dont really care what Sony says. The Anti shatter film is u ugly piece of sh*t, which is as much scratch resistant as cheese. And having two layers of film to avoid scratches? no thanks.

The phone looks 10 times more premium without it.

As much as i love my device, it pisses me off that Sony puts this crap on the phone, and to just top it off, they print the Sony logo on the film. what a joke Sony!!!!
[Xperia Z General] ber-59:
planned obsolescence F***
[Xperia Z General] reptile64:
On Xperia X10, Arc, Arc S and Xperia S I removed this plastic cheap sh!t and they looked fabulous and they were really scratch resistant!! Now the only reason I don't want to peel it off is the damn Sony logo that is printed on this film!!!! >:(
[Xperia Z General] Rashkae:
Sorry, no link to the issue. Please go on a brainless rant elsewhere.

Sent from my gorgeous White Xperia Z
[Xperia Z General] --anx--:
You're right...I agree.

I wonder why, in 2013, Sony is still stuck to apply these crappy plastic s**t loads on the display...instead of apply an oleophobic coating on the REAL display without crappy plastics above... :(
[Xperia Z General] coios84:
the anti shutter film is great for those who want to protect the screen. i can tell you that my phone fell on to the ground on the streets a couple of days ago and it looked shattered on a small part of the back. i just found out today that there were films on the phone and i hate films, they seem to remove some of the niceness of a screen, so peeled them of and there werent any damage on the back. the sony logo is gone too. i didnt know that the warranty expired if i did so, so i hope that it isnt so all over the world. so i suggest that you keep it on.
[Xperia Z General] BR4DOKYBrazil:
Same here :(

Until today not informed of the reason the Sony logo be printed on film and not on the screen?

Although without the logo of Sony is too beautiful the front of the device all black!

Various devices are coming without the logo on the front! See Nexus 4!
[Xperia Z General] Efe64:
What has a tiny little cheapo sticker to do woth warranty? Im sure its an new employe who doesnt know sh8t.

Its just an stupid sticker you dont open the phome.

Things like this pisses me really off..

Retards.. Retards evywhere..

[Xperia Z General] speedyf3:
I removed mine and am very happy. Although I did drop mine phone and the power button broke. It's a minor fix that flextronics ( Sony's repair company) does for around 40$. Love the phone and will be lost without it when it goes in.
[Xperia Z General] kalo88:
I don't see how they can void your warranty for removing a piece of plastic film.

1) If the screen shatters by dropping it etc.. they wouldn't replace/repair that under warranty anyway

2) If any other part of the device fails, they cannot say it failed because you removed a piece of plastic film from the screen

I think the person is talking through their arse!
[Xperia Z General] RoChinu:
I do see the use of the ASF though I'd have preferred if they left the screen untouched and gave you the choice to whether you want to apply it or not. A screen protector has the same functions as the ASF. What Sony should have done is not apply one and just give a separate screen protector (ASF) and advised to apply it due to blah blah blah reasons.
[Xperia Z General] reptile64:
No it's not a normal screen protector, it is much more strong, thick and glued firmly on the glass so it absorbs the shock of a clamsy fall to avoid the shattering of the glass! It also meant to be part of the phone so if you remove it's like you remove an essential "part" and you void the warranty! They should stop using it at last as all the others are doing all these years!
[Xperia Z General] RoChinu:
Never had the impression it was much stronger. But I for one prefer having the Sony logo and therefore would have liked it if they printed it on the device as my ASF already has few scratches.
[Xperia Z General] reptile64:
That's the point! But they didn't..! :mad:
[Xperia Z General] ST4YSTR0NG:
Shatterproof screen protector

How much is this protector supposed to absorb before the screen breaks? In other words, does it mean removing it makes the screen very vulnerable?

Also here are some questions I made in another thread:

So I got my Xperia Z like a week ago and just bought the Roxfit bumber with scratch resistant protectors.

The shatterproof protector already has quite a lot of scratches in front and rear.

I was wondering if its better to remove the shatterproof protector and apply the scratch resistant ones?

Also if I apply them on top of the shatterproof protector, is it possible that the scratches become invisible?
[Xperia Z General] LGXX:
I'd recommend everyone of you to apply a second scratch resistant screen protector right after putting the XZ out of the box. The shatterproof one is just shatterproof - not scratch proof.

[Xperia Z General] wyterabitt:
Not necessarily, warranty is not related to the actual consumer laws protecting you. The warranty is a completely optional thing and although once offered it is legally binding, the particulars of that warranty are set by the company. So if a company says you can't do something to the screen or the entire warranty is void, there is nothing legally to stop that being the case as far as I know.

You would still have full consumer protection from any applicable laws, but the warranty would possibly no longer apply.

Warranties are a bit of a “scam” to some extent, they are good PR for a company and allow them to trick 99% of customers who think that at the end of this period it is also the end of any rights to get things fixed for free or replaced. Even out of those who try their luck after the warranty ends a few will get "lucky" and think it is a good deed, making a bit more good PR (when in reality they probably would have won in court easily), while most of those who get rejected will fall for the "out of warranty" line. It probably saves them an absolute fortune.
[Xperia Z General] xchasa:
Apparently Sony charges $20 to replace it. So use your phone, in a half a year pay the 20 and enjoy a flawless screen again..

That's my plan anyway.
[Xperia Z General] DevShaft:
When thats truly the case, I'm a happy customer with nothing to worry. Where did you get this info?
[Xperia Z General] bucho2004:
Don't know where you got that info from, but here in the UK after inquiring about replacement of antishatter film, I've been told by sony repair team it will cost £200 pounds as they need to change the whole screen because the anti shatter and screen apparentlyis produced as one, and that's how they receive the part.
[Xperia Z General] xchasa:
I read it here on xda a few weeks back. Haven't checked the credibly though hence the starting of the post with "apparently". Probably not true by the sounds of it.
[Xperia Z General] OneThousandAndOneNames:
I have just removed mine. Looks way better without.
[Xperia Z General] reptile64:
That's what they said to me here in Greece too :eek:
[Xperia Z General] julianalexander:

[Xperia Z General] cordonbleu:
I also didn't want to lose the pretty logo, but had to remove the sheets because they were full of scratches after few weeks use already.... :(
[Xperia Z General] Spectre51:
Sony doesn't replace the shatter proof film. It is actually applied by the glass supplier at their factory prior to being provided to Sony. I had inquired with my contacts about getting replacements films and that is what they told me.
[Xperia Z General] supermiff:
I contacted Sony support about this the other day. They told me that removing this anti shater film does not void the warranty however, if you do need any warranty work done then you will first be billed for the replacement befoe they would continue with any other work. simply answer to this is simply insure the phone like I have. I have tried everything and Im getting fed up of all the smears and scratches. The only thing that I can think of now is for me to remove the film however I have been told that although the glass underneath is far better for scratch resistance is is much worse for fingerprints and smearing..... Can anybody who has done this please confirm that this is not actually the case......
[Xperia Z General] alexpraga:
I did it on the front and it so much better in both fingerprints and dust magnet. As I don't have any scratches on the back plate the film is still there.

Sent from my Xperia Z
[Xperia Z General] Sticky F:
I took the ASF off and applied G1 ClearVision on front and back.

Gtechniq G1 ClearVision costs around £10.

Since the screen feels and behaves so much better it's less prone to being a horrible fingerprint and smear magnet :)
[Xperia Z General] Kelvin0007:
Maybe Sony warns about losing warranty because they printed their logo directly on the asf and they wants us to show everyone that this fabulous glass phone is made by them, also i dont think anyone can prove sony repair center that your phone had a fall of 1mt or one of 4mt if you deliver them a shattered screen to be covered by warranty.
[Xperia Z General] Andrewtst:
That is Sony issue, who ask Sony stupidly print the logo at Shatter Proof sheet.

Who ask Sony stupidly apply this sheet of crap on top scratch resistance glass.

No one fancy on this easier scratch rubbish shatter proof sheet.
[Xperia Z General] gbil:
Actually this time they printed it on the shatter proof sheet to save on logistics costs.

In some markets the devices are sold with the carrier's logo on them while in most markets with the Sony logo. Thus they had to coordinate the whole process where they got the display then print the logo then attach the shatter proof film etc etc and they tried to simplify it.
[Xperia Z General] hebbe:
maybe it isn't stupid...maybe they use it as an indicator to see if the ASF has been removed (and eventually later replaced by a third party screen protector). :confused:
[Xperia Z General] supermiff:
I personally believe that Sony knew that a lot of people would want to remove this film because of how easily it picks up scratches and because there is no oleophobic coating. I think that the Sony logo was purposely printed to the film instead of the phone to make it instantly obvious as to whether the film had been removed or not. This could be useful to Sony technicians in warranty cases as well as customers purchasing a used phone.

I personally hate this film and would live to remove it. I have had to add a screen protector over the top to stop this bloody film from scratching. I have owned almost all of the major handsets spanning over the last few years and I have never used screen protectors as I do not like the way they feel on my screen. In a time where this glass is being made to such a strong standard it seems strange why Sony would add a flimsy film that scratches so easily when no other handset feels the need to do the same. I am now left worth no choice but to use a screen protector, even without the film, due to the fact that neither the screen nor film are oleophobic coated.
[Xperia Z General] Andrewtst:
If the shatter proof sheet is useful and scratchless, no one will ever interesting to remove it.

It easier scratch just make people feel the screen quality is bad, don't have those gorilla glass scratch free quality.
[Xperia Z General] Kirkymole:
What's the best/easiest way to remove it? Mine isn't actually lined up properly, unless of course it's meant to be that way.
[Xperia Z General] linux1994c:
hello guys today I put on a second protection anti shatter film sony but I wanted to take it out ... do you think is easily scratched herself or the anti shatter film resistors as normal films?
[Xperia Z General] Calvat:
Yours must be a bit faulty then, because out of the two I've seen in person, four people didn't notice there was even a protector on it until I found out it was via internet.

Also a question, I saw on YTube a person removing the anti shatter sheet film on the Xperia... S? J? Something like that. And taking it off was in fact much worse than leaving it on.

Does anyone have a video demonstrating the difference for the Xperia Z? I'd like to leave it on for protection of course, but if it's worse than the screen itself I'd rather take it off.
[Xperia Z General] putergod:
I don't know the laws in other countries, but in the United States, the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act of 1975 forbids any manufacture that offers a written warranty from denying warranty claims for not using "OEM" components unless the manufacture can prove that the use of non "OEM" (or lack of use of an OEM component in this case) actually caused the failure - or if they offer a replacement part free of charge (which they don't).

Since no phone manufacture warrants broken screens, this "film" is completely irrelevant in respect to the phone's warranty as written, and enforced by the act.
[Xperia Z General] chrisully:
Taken mine off screen much clearer and it's also got scratch proof glass on feels much better to the fingers I would recommend taking off
[Xperia Z General] chris311fan:
I agree with sully.. taking it off is worth it esthetically and physically.... but voiding a Sony warranty is no joke so tread lightly.
[Xperia Z General] Regionella:
don't remove it...
[Xperia Z General] elfrider:
As for the rear panel, does anyone know whether the 'xperia' wording and the numbers at the bottom are printed on the ASF in the same way as the Sony logo is printed on the front?
[Xperia Z General] RoChinu:
No it isn't, I have removed both and the Xperia logo is still there unlike the Sony logo.
