Just go look at the sg4 complaints about the screen cracking while in jeans and from small drops while in a case...

I don't think there are that many here experiencing the problem.

thanks a lot :D

yes, I remember when I was going to buy GS1, I heard many about broken touch etc. but till now (2 years), nothing has happened :D
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ambroos:
It's a really small problem, luckily. We haven't had all that many reports in The Netherlands while there was a very nice amount of Z's sold.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvd777:
Nothing will happend to your future Z either. ;) people say many things. When l was in planning to replace my old desire, l got advices not to buy xperia z. Screen is sh*t, sony is blablabla, buy samsung... After all l bought it and for a month now, l have no any single complaint regarding this phone. I almost bought lg 4x hd. Thank God l didn't. ;)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DavoodM:
and I almost bought lg optimus G! but now Im happy that I bought this phone :D
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andronaute:
Hey,

I got this phone from february, i was very happy with it until now when my screen cracked while i was using it. I can ensure you that Sony is aware of this problem as we were at Sony Store at Paris where they told us that the problem come from the battery which is some case can inflate and break the lcd screen. This is knowed problem. ( see Netherlands CM post ).

Trust me, i'm not losing my times to tell fake storie just for my pleasure, I prefere using my xperia Z to take picture of father days. Also if I broke my phone because it was a faulty utilisation, I will go directly to the store and get a news one but it's not the case.

Now it is true that there is not so many case, but their exist ! The problem is if it happens on your phone then you are on trouble. Because Sony will never admit it until many case of it....which can take times...

I assume lots of us as noticed that the phone can be very hot during the uses of games or videos....? As we are now in the summer, the average temperatur is growing so it's possible that cases will grow. Will see.

As far as i know, nothing is perfect, everybody can admit that a flaw can be found on industrial product ? No ?

cheers

Cracked Digitizer!

Folks,

The Digitizer on my Xperia Z cracked whilst in my pocket.

The Front Glass and the LCD are fine but there is a visible substrate crack on the digitizer and now the top right portion of my screen no longer responds to touch.

Sony's agent here are adamant that the damage is not covered by warranty as it is ''physical'' damage.

So I have been looking around for a new display, and as the LCD/Display/digitizer are all a 1 piece unit it isn't a cheap fix.

I'm just wondering if anyone here can point me to a reasonably priced supplier of a Genuine replacement part?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DavoodM:
of course, but I didn't bought it because I scared of LG updates :-"" but it's a really fast phone :D
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andronaute:
Each day, we have a batch a news customers saying the same thing ! their XperiaZ lcd screen broken without any reason...do you really doubt of this issue on LCD. Sony has no position on the issue. there are still investigating the issue.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvd777:
Sony isnt much faster than LG in releasing updates :)

I hope sony will recognize this screen cracking issues and give us togari instead :)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] op1op2:
first time to see problems like yours.:(
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FelixWan:
i guess the hot CPU may be the cause...

since the flat surface can cool down very quick on metal

it may cause the 2 layer of screen in different temperature and may break the screen

just like what happen when you place hot glasses into cool water...
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joejoe23:
In your dreams. Lol. And even if they do, nah 6.44 inch is too big. I'll pass. Honami is a better option. I think for the z, it's doing pretty good in releasing updates, isn't it? In less than 3 months, 3 updates already and a leaked 4.2.2 which is coming quite soon officially.

Sent from my C6603
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvd777:
I was joking :) of course that we dont need togari. I dont see it useful outside of house.

Updates are ok, but l think it could be a little more...how can l say it...vibrant (whatever that means :) ).

But, its okay for me. XZ is by far the best phone l saw this year, and l test sgs3, 4, htc one, x, s, sv and lg 4x hd. And that's why l bought it. Even tft screen didnt put me away (l dont like samoled).
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joejoe23:
Pictures taken from s4 actually looks good. I don't know if its just the screen that makes it looks better. If the S4 was designed similar to the z or looks better, I would get it.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvd777:
SGS4 is not bad phone, but I don't like recycled SGS3 design. Brains, but no looks :) XZ is sexier :victory:
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Hey guys, I've had a XZ for 2 days. On the third day it decided to crack, it has no signs of damage, the back screen isn't broken either and it happened when the XZ was lying on a table (made out of stone). I put it there before I slept in and after I woke up I wanted to use my phone but - nothing.

That's how it looks like.

I can assure I never dropped it and it was intact before I put it on the table.

Can anybody tell me what happened to the screen?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ligerblitz:
Did you put it face down?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Yes.

I have no idea what happened.

Is somebody here familiar with types of cracks?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvd777:
Are You sure that someone didn't broke it while You were asleep? Somehow l can't imagine that screen will crack just like this, without any kinemtic force.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
The table is in the living room. And I'm shure I'm not a sleepwalker ;)

Me and a friend were the only ones who were there.

The thing is I cannot imagine how something like this could happen.

There are no signs of physical damage, the panel beneath is alright and the back is fine too.

It must have been dropped several times to look like this.

And why should I lie to you?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvd777:
I didn't say that You are a liar. I just cannot believe my eyes that this display can crack like this without any force applied on it.

If so, Sony did really piece of s**t work with this DragonTrail glass. :eek:
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beni8978:
Ey,you can't say so.

Maybe it's a faulty device. I rent jet-skies and my device falls down much time on the floor,goes under sea water etc.

Only the shatterproof foils get scratched.

◇C6603
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
It might be a faulty device, that was my first thougt because of the intact backside.

So I'm heading to the dealer tomorrow to see what they say. Good thing I'm in germany ;)

I think it's a bit disappointing how easy it is to crack the screen. My Sensation was dropped on all kinds of surfaces and has not the slightest crack. But not that you think I'm not careful but with time it fades ;)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiscipleOfKane:
Was it a metal or stone table? It reminds me of the nexus 4 backs shattering due to temperature changes.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Out of stone.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThePlea:
Mine's 13W16, still no problems at all.

In my country, i knew some cases like this. A survey said that it's from 13W08 to 13W14 but it's only 3-4 phone had this, so i believe it's a faulty produce. And from 13W15 to above maybe the factory had fix this error.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] huball:
Bad news. Polish service center (W-Support) told me today, that due to lack of spare parts, my repair is suspended. Manufacturer informed them that back glass won't be available till August!!!! The lady told me, that I can cancel my service request, and they will send back my phone, and than I can send it to them again i August.

I think this is my last Sony phone, unfortunately...
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Ok so I'm getting a new phone.

Repair would be to expensive so they gave me a new one. Hope it will be better this time ;)

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arrghost:
Bought a Xperia Z and had cause to replace my digitizer after one weeks ownership. Not knowing anything about 'smartphones' I was ready to bin the phone. Last minute look on line and found a video to dismantle the phone so I thought I'd give it a go.

Bought an OEM digitizer from etraders and phone worked once again without issue.

Although a few days later, without intervention from me, the nav bar refused to unscroll if the phone is held in the normal upright orientation: only accessible if rotated.

Tried resetting to factory, no good

Tried FlashTool with unbranded firmware - Now the top 10% or so of the top of the screen is unresponsive so accessing any breadcrumb menu items is a faff.

At least it still functions as a phone ; for now :laugh:
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] banie01:
Any chance you could share the link you bought from?

And the teardown video too? Any I've found have the phone being assembled via the back with the screen already in place.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arrghost:
Sorry the above etraders is a mistake. I bought my replacement from etradesupply.com

Wrote an dirty HowIDidIt explanation but then lost it when my session timed out -

e2a:

The video is almost certainly the one I saw...

There are a few things that have been omitted though:

1) Heat with hairdryer around chassis; use your suction cup an indeterminate amount of times until the back releases..

2) The battery is glued down in the center, you will need a blunt tool to gently work the battery loose. Be aware of the risks if you puncture/short the battery. Unmount the clip and remove the sticky tape.

3) Remove 4 screws. Umount the cables and release the antenna from the board. Remove cover in top right hand corner.

4) Unmount the rear camera - You may get away with not having to release a copper tab that affixes the board - maybe not.

5) Unmount the front camera.

6) Lift away the board.

7) On the bottom , where the coin cell battery is, follow the vid and lift this clear - There is a tiny connector underneath: It is accessible through the small removable cover {blue in my case} Either try to unclip the connector through this aperture in the first instance, or in my case it popped off through ignorance

8) It does not seem to be necessary to remove the headphone socket enclosure. This is located in the chassis of the phone and will not interfere with a screen change - If I remember correctly!

FYI - I have NO prior knowledge or experience with 'smartphones'. My last phone being a Nokia N70; I only attempted this repair as my phone has no warranty / insurance in place.

Although the repair fixed the phone to a fully functioning state, I am now experiencing screen issues after running the Factory Reset.

good luck _hope It all goes well...
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wookiebear:
I too am suffering from the same problems discussed here on this thread; I actually watched my screen crack very slowly from left to right whilst watching a video. The phone had never suffered any impacts and had been out being used for 30 minutes prior to the breakage. There is definitely a flaw with the glass on the phone. I love the phone to bits and have done nothing but praise it since I have had it. Sony at the present time will not recognise the problem and as such it is not covered under warranty and they want to charge me £200 to replace something I have had no control in happening. There are lots of people in the same boat and we have a thread over on the official Sony support forum discussing this trying to get Sony to recognise that there is a problem with the glass on their flagship phone. There is also a link to a petition on there to also try and get them to recognise there is a problem that is only going to grow the more people use these phones. I would post the links but I am under 10 posts, the thread title is "Xperia z glass back cracked on it's own?!" but it discusses front and back glass

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Timo221298:
Hello,

I've had my desire for almost a year now, and it broke yesterday... I was playing with my 6-year old nephews, and my desire fell out of my pocket. I didn't know that it was broken until I wanted to check my whatsapp a few hours later, and when I did, the screen was like this:... (lol the image is way too big)The touchscreen is working fine, I can turn it on and unlock it, I can even send an whatsapp, because I knew where the icon was. So what should I do with it? Repair it if it's possible? How much would that cost? I now have an iPhone 3gs as stand-in, should I keep that for as long as my contract lasts (1 year)? Or should I buy a new one? If so, which one would you advise me? A cheap one please, as I want to save for the PS4 later this year.

I'm running Sandvolds ICS for those that want to know...

Thanks!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
There's a possibility that the screen cable is slightly disconnected. Try to disassemble the phone, and check the cable.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Timo221298:
Thanks for the reply, I'll give it a try :)

Edit: Yeah I tried to take it apart, seems I've got no T5 screwdriver at home... Basically, if I would take it apart I would have not any idea what te screen cable is... Is it the LCD connecter? I do know quite a bit about software and that sort of stuff, but I'm a n00b at replacing hardware :S
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donkeykong1:
I had the exact same screen on my Desire :silly:

That screen is broken and you need to replace it. I would recomend a professional to do it because I tried to do it myself and I destroyed my phone. And the other thing if you decide to go on with replacement - Desire had two different screen types and every type had one or two subtypes which are NOT compatible with each other so you need to know exactly what type of screen you have
[General Questions and Answers] Okluzhion:
Okay so, I'm not sure if I'm crazy, stupid or something else. My boyfriend exchanged something for Android Mini PC v8, so I was trying it out the other day. I randomly pressed F1-12 buttons on his wireless Logitech K330 keyboard (the keyboard came with the mouse too) to see what will open by pressing each of them. One of the F buttons brought me to Google Now voice search, so I just randomly yelled out some words not expecting anything to happen. I was surprised when it actually caught some words and started a search. By what my boyfriend said, neither Mini PC nor his 5 years old 45" Philips TV have microphones. I went to check on the internet if Mini PC had a built-in microphone, but apparently it doesn't have one.

Can anyone shed some light on this? Based on given replies I'll either feel stupid or puzzled and freaked out.

Hi,

What's the best browser if I want flash support, and strict pop-up blocking?

I'm using Dolphin browser HD (an old version that supports flash), which works with flash ok, but it lets the pop-up's through (even though pop-up blocking is turned on).

Any suggestions?

Firefox
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jinosong:
I wonder why Firefox doesn't offer a homepage. I personally set my homepage to my Google Reader page. I get to see some headlines before surfing throughout the day.

Having tabs on startup just creates more clicks without any added benefit.

Also, the switching through tabs is a nightmare compared to Dolphin.

Tried FireFox and it doesn't support flash well at all. Embedded videos are very hard to use compared to the stock Samsung browser. And Firefox definetly still allow the popups through
