[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mahendru1992:
Okay, so I installed Fast Dormancy Toggle app by gokhanmoral, but it doesn't work. I even tried adding the line. ro.ril.fast.dormancy.rule=0 but I still see the secril_fd-interface wakelock eating away my battery. Is there something i'm missing out, or some other way to go about it. I'm on paranoid android 3.60.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Did you reboot after making the change?

Define "Eating away my battery" (please give some context)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mahendru1992:
Yes! Ofcourse I rebooted and I still have over 11 minutes of secril_fd-interface wakelock along with 142 wakeups by com.android.phone. And by "Eating Away My Battery" , what I mean is that I've got a 10%/hour battery drain when i refer to BetterBatteryStats.

P.S One thing I did notice i.e the the Fast Dormancy Toggle does work in Samsung Based ROMs but not in CM or AOSP or AOPK ROMs, atleast it does not in my device.

Hi All..

I'm a bit confused.. There are so many ROM's floating around....

I'm currently using "O2 XDA II->WM2003SE->Sin->Merged->v1.0" which suits my Aust O2 XDAII

I have reinstalled Bluetoothtools and not installed the email section to avoid the mail attachment problems.

Is there a better ROM out there than the one I am currently using?

ROM image is based on version: 2.06.00WWE (ver 4.21.1088 build 14132)

Radio image is version: 1.18.00

Extended ROM image is a variance of version 2.06.100a (Sin.Merged.v1.0)

Thanks....

Why don't you make your own? there's enough info in this forum to show you how!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] rmercado:
You already have the best version...

All you need is to change your EXT_ROM. The one you are using is based on the Restored file (from BackUp)...

No need to re-flash your device, just delete all files from your Extended ROM. Extract files from any ms_.nbf files then copy these files in your EXT_ROM including the config.txt..

If you dont know how to extract then use the search button (header above) looking for ROM Image Editor. You will find the tools and the instruction HOW TO...

I recommend to keep your current Device Version... I have no problem using it...

Cheers,

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VykoJust:
Hello,

I have my Z from its release. I tried its water resistance the first day i recieved it, all was OK. I recorded many videos underwater, in swimming pool, at home, and everything was always ok. Everytime i took it in water, I mindfully closed all the covering caps.

But today, I got a problem. I took my phone with me to water, as whnever I did, and when I was looking at it after "bathing", my camera was fogged - it was wet INSIDE. I tried to check those white indicators under covering caps, and those at USB port and headphone jack were RED. I also noticed tiny droplets of water there. Everything else is however working. No display issues, headphones are playing, USB works too.

I must remark that my phone dropped me on pavement from my pocket about month ago (scratched corners), but its resistance worked until today.

What now? Should I claim it? What do you guys think? I bought Xperia Z mainly for its water resistance. It is very distressing that I can take it in water any more. :(

Edit: one problem detected - mobile data doesnt work.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dsteppa:
Since the indicators are red you have nothing to stand on, they will just say that the flaps were open and you won't be able to prove them wrong.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrKrFfXx:
I read somewhere that on the repair service they check if the flaps provide the necessary seal against water. If they provide enough seal, and you have the indicators turned red, they blame you for not having closed the flaps correctly, on the other hand, if the flaps show defects and let water through, even when properly closed and with moisture indicators turned red, they still service your device under warranty.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VykoJust:
They were closed. I was always checking them before going in water. Im 100% sure. And yes i can prove it. They can close the flaps and test phone and see if there is water or not.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LitoNi:
Dropping the phone may have caused an open gap somewhere and water leaked in.

Nothing you can do, just argue your way in and hope for the best.

If you know you are a clumsy person, you should have gotten a case.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vibecatalin:
In the pictures the phone has a the back glass lifted, maybe that was the problem. I have the back lifted too , but not that high as yours.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoberM:
Don't tell them you used it in the swimmingpool, it clearly says in the instruction booklet that you should't.

Swimmingpool water contains acids and chemical products that may destroy the rubber seals over time.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VykoJust:
I think I know what happened. Flaps may be ok (I tested to put the phone in water again - there were no water under them, but water still got to a phone - my volume down is damaged now), but the right issue is that back plate is raised a bit around the camera

Type "Sony Xperia Z repair, disassembly manual" on youtube.

As you can see on this video, right under the plate are phone GUTS. The plate can be raised by warming it. Thus it can raise when you play games or a sun is shining on a phone. All Xperia Z owners, check your back plate too if it is OK or raised! I believe this is that water resistance issue..

The fog in camera disappeared during the day and when I removed SIM and put it back, mobile data begun to work. Bad thing is that volume button doesnt work (as I said above). The button itself is ok and its not stucked or pressed, but when I turn phone on, it always starts in safe mode and I cant volume down, I can just volume up (using the button; I can volume down using display), so I think button contacts are fu**ed and phone thinks the buton is pressed. I think only thing I can do now is going to repair service.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hudsonhicks:

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvd777:
Those flaps are piece of crap. Especially that flap where charger/data cable go. Since we playing with it every day, my guess is that sealing got weaken and that's why water got thru the phone. Gap may be less than tenth of a millimeter ( <0,1 mm) and water can easily come in.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hebbe:
i think it's time again to bash those people who warn others not take their phone into water, as the xperia z is not waterproof, but just water resistant. and that's more likely to protect the phone from accidental drops into water, rather than to go diving/bathing/filming with it in water.

and those warners know what the IP-rating says ("...half an hour"..."submerged 'till half a meter"....)

:p
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:
If people actually followed that advice, then there would not be multiple threads like this one, where people have destroyed their phone.

What is the point of deliberately putting your expensive phone in danger, IP rating or no IP rating? ;)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tudork:
gosh, not this discussion again! It does not matter what the point is or if there is a point or not. If the producer communicates that this phone CAN sustain without damage being in water i-don't know-how-deep for i-don't know-how long, then this phone SHOULD do it. The intentions of the users, or whether there is a point or not in taking your phone to the swimming pool, are NOT important. It is IMPORTANT that whatever was promised to the user SHOULD BE VALID.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:
Perhaps you have a point, but if you go to a service centre with red water ingress indicators, you will be paying to have your phone repaired as they will say it was caused by user negligence. End of story.

If you do not put your phone into water for no good reason, it will never get water damaged. Why are people using the IP rating to excuse a complete lack of common sense?

Why do people NEED to put their phone into water regularly?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drsoran2:
because they bought the phone with the intention that they can do this with it. They've seen it in official Sony commercials (phone used during rain, phone washed under running water after being splashed with color paint, on exhibitions Sony employees dropped it in aquariums, smashed the phone on the floor repeatedly to demonstrate that the glass won't break). I heard that in some shops they even have the Z in a water tank all the time and only take it out for charging. There was that show in Czech Republic where two models used the phone under the shower and so on.

The phone has an ip57 rating which clearly states that you can submerge it into water for 1m and up to 30 minutes. I also believe that you can leave it there for much longer and it SHOULD be okay, only the depth is important. The deeper you go, the higher is the water pressure and the seals might leak.

Now, cars also have ip ratings for water protection and different levels for the interior of the car and the outside. Inside it might be ip54 (water, mud and splashes when entering the car with wet shoes or boots) and outside it's even ip59 or ip58K which means it's protected against water ingress when used with high pressure water jets (e.g. car wash!).

I'm sure most people would complain, if there brand new car is flooded with water on the inside after they went to car wash. The same is true for this phone!

An ip rating is an ip rating and not like "buhu, it's ip57 but it can only manage 3 drops of water before it breaks!". If that is the case, I could have keept my S2 which also survives a few drops of rain without damage. If Sony can't manage that, they shouldn't have advertised it like that or given an ip54 rating or something lower.

You can't claim your phone has the SECOND HIGHEST protection against water there is and then say: "Stay away from water". It's like: "your car has 6 airbags, but don't expect them to work in a crash" or "your Porsche can go 300 km/h, but don't ever try it"

People put their phone in water because they can and should be able to.

If the XZ can't and should be used in water, I'm sure most people would have bought a non water proof phone instead because it would be the same. I was drawn to this phone because of it's water resistance.

I'm beeing very paranoid and bought a 5€ waterproof bag for my phone which I tested yesterday for 6 hours submerged in the sink. The paper inside stayed perfectly dry. Even though my XZ should be waterproof on its own, I think double protection is always better. The bag seems to be waterproof, and even if by some chance it is not, then my phone won't be damaged, because it's supposed to be waterproof too!

With this double protection, I'm still afraid to take it to the pool, but might do so eventually which I wouldn't have done without the bag.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:
Yes, you do have a point. At least somewhat anyway.

For a start, the manual tells you to avoid chlorinated water. So no swimming pools. I wonder if this is why the water resistance appears to have failed in this case.

I could point out other things that the manual tells you to avoid, but everyone here has already read it before going swimming with their phone, right? :D
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drsoran2:
I can perfectly understand that salt water might give trouble or taking it deeper and longer than the rating states, or using it in hot water or rushing down a water slide or jumping from a 10m tower into water as the rapid movement and the force of the impact on water alone might make the flaps pop out on themselve.

But chlorine water, shouldn't it be ok? Some people have it even in their tap water. What should they do now? They can't even wash the chlorine from the swimming pool of with tap water to get rid of it, because that water has chlorine too, albeit in smaller amounts.

I don't know, but shouldn't the phone be safe if used in the pool and then cleaned with tap water? Or maybe even when used in salt water and then cleaned with fresh water? Although salt water may be more problematic than pool water.

When I first used my XZ, I had it happily sitting in my pocket while jogging in the rain - knowing it won't be damaged. Something which I never did and never would have done with my S2 because it was not waterproof. The XZ gave me the piece of mind that I can do this. It felt great, I also used it in light rain without damage.

After reading here, that some phones were damaged by rain even though the flaps were closed, I became nervous. Now I'm a bit more afraid to use it for jogging in the rain than before.

The most important question here is: Did these phones break because the flaps were a manufacturing fault or did they break even though the flaps were fine and properly closed and it STILL happened?! The latter would mean, that even with a perfect condition phone, that water proofness is not a given, but a gimmick. Risky business.

More interestingly, the Galaxy S4 Active has ip67. Different dust protection but same water protection. However, Samsung advertises that you can use the phone for under water picture and video taking. Even the touch screen is usable. Samsung has also included a special "Aqua mode" which should help taking better pictures under water.

The problem is, if the XZ and the S4 Active have the same ip rating for water, then why can one used for pictures under water and the other one not? Is Samsung lying, or Sony? Can the XZ take more than Sony states but Sony is playing safe? Or is Samsung playing risky business?! Or is Samsungs ipX7 better than Sony's ipx7? Can't be, can it?

I don't know, but may be the higher dust protection of the S4 Active the reason?!
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:
Here is the page from the manual in question-

You can look at it yourself through the 'Support' app on the phone.

It doesn't specifically mention chlorine, but it does mention swimming pools which suggests chlorinated water and it also mentions sea water. It also states to stay away from excessive moisture and that the water resistance of the phone may degrade over time.

Seems that they have everything covered to me.

As for advertising materials, they should be treated with caution as they are produced by people with little technical knowledge and are purely designed to drive sales.

Seems like i'm abit late but my message will go through!

No one is here to spoon feed anyone. There are probably hundreds of guides on how to root the device you possess in your hand. And they keep improving just to make rooting easier for - You. The one thing that's keeping you from finding a root guide you're comfortable with is - not searching. Although rooting is a one time thing, it still requires different stuff in different guides.

I myself went through three root guides before finding the one, also in my opinion the easiest (ofcourse) root guide, but i searched first :)

Go search for a root guide that fits you, or take the advice of those who have taken their time to reply!

In my opnion, searching is far better (not because of the guides or anything) but because searching will help you alot, especially here when you have a question.

Well rooting your device is fairly easy, mainly because there are so many guides out there. Some are easy some aren't, many want to learn what happens, other just want to root the damn thing! Depends on the person what kind of root guide you follow ofcourse.

So my point is, helping anyone to find a rooting guide is basically spoon feeding, because it's really easy to find one yourself, if you search ;)

I Have a 32GB Nexus 7 that came with 4.2.1. I updated it to 4.2.2 and I`m using a custom ROM now.

My question is, can I flash a custom ROM based on 4.1, or downgrading will brick my nexus?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nico_60:
You can downgrad to 4.1 but for that you must do a full wipe(factory reset+format system) and that won't brick your device.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
Course one of the easiest ways to downgrade if you're familiar with fastboot, would be to first wipe the phone (ie: can be done in recovery to wipe boot, system, user-data, etc).

Grab the appropriate firmware from https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#nakasi

And you can unpack that about twice til you have some *.img files

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash system system.img

(in theory you shouldn't need to flash user-data.img if you've already wiped it)

The reason for the unpacking is so that you don't do a complete reversal overwriting your custom recovery or /data/media (ie: the /sdcard stuff, though depending on the nature of it's content might be a good idea to 'format data', and then copy back what you need)

Basically after wiping /system and /data , and flashing the stock boot.img and system.img from the boot loader you would boot up into a fresh clean install of a 4.1.2 stock AOSP install.
