[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rabbiferret:
RE:

I'm not looking to break root, because I can foresee a time where I'd go back to a CM version if it had comparable battery life. A new 6.3.2 ROM means (as I understand it) starting from scratch with Apps/registration/etc, as opposed to simply updating the existing 6.3.1 OS. If it were a major update, I would absolutely just start over with the newest revision.

My real concern was downloading the software from Amazon's update website, and finding out that the file was an autoexec file that would brick my currently rooted kindle.

Since most people choose to root & go with a more robust OS (CM10) there are a good number of sites and resources, but there are very few resources dedicated to going back to the Amazon OS, and/or upgrading after going back.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tobiascuypers:
I'm pretty sure that my 6.3.2 will be fine with out a full data wipe. You just wipe /cache /delvik /system and flash. It should be fine. But
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zerbey:
The Amazon update will not brick your Kindle, but you will have to reroot it as it returns it to stock. For CM battery life, disable Wi-Fi when going into standby mode for extended periods as that is what is draining your battery.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Markyzz:
Yup. My four year old has CM10 on his kindle and that thing never drains in standby. His WiFi is broken so I always assumed the battery life was just awesome.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rabbiferret:
Thanks to everyone. I've been reading a lot more on my kindle since I returned to the amazon OS. With the suggested WiFi battery drain being a problem, I may just give CM10 another shot for a month to see how the battery manages before going for the upgrade of the Amazon OS.

I'm not sure of your opinions, but the worst part of the amazon OS isn't the interface, but the silly limits on software in the Amazon marketplace. I've heard that Barnes&Noble have given up their control, and are allowing Nook Tablet users to DL Google Play and all the apps they'd like. I sincerely hope that amazon follows suit, but I'm not exactly riddled with confidence.

Thanks again.

The seal of the mini usb port leaked and now my tablet has waterdamage. When I look at the seal more closely I see that it fails to close completely and it comes out a bit by itself. Does anyone have any experience with sony' s return policy? They said that they have a 30 day rturn policy, and I applied for it because there are some dead pixels but I don't know what happens when they see the water damage (indicator turned red). I am really a bit disappointed...
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DdcCabuslay:
Well you are covered under the manufacturer's warranty, so you might be ok... Do you not want to keep the tablet?
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] godutch:
I would actually but first I want my money back, Sony doesn't have them in stock atm
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeH-BagS:
I had a problem with my headphone port not closing completely. So i did not dare dunk it. So i sent it back to Sony. Waiting for my replacement to arrive in the next couple of days.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Psykhe:
I had the same issue. I couldn't get it to close fully by pressing directly on it. I could press it closed, but after stopping it always went back to having a gap of around half a mm on one end.

I finally managed to keep it fully closed by pushing the end from that side a bit to the left as well. Not sure if that is design or not.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeH-BagS:
I cant close it fully no matter how much i try. Thats why i sent it back. Hoping it was a defective set and the next one i get is in good condition.

Will update when i get a replacement.

[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] godutch:

Xpria tablet z water damaged

my tablet is water damaged and i can't switch it on. the microSD card slot indicator has turned red. all the flaps were properly closed when it got wet but the guys at the service center don't want to accept it and they say i will have to pay for the replacement.:(

what should i do?
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Djhg2000:
Did you contact Sony directly or the store you got it from (if you didn't get it from the Sony online store)? Some stores may have their own (incorrect) interpretation of the warranty and will refuse to fix it to reduce their own expenses. Go back and refer to the IP57 rating and how this clearly is covered by the warranty (bring the manual and cite the relevant parts if you feel like it's necessary). Bringing the warranty text might also boost your confidence if you have to convince the store manager.

I don't know which country you're in, but check with the local laws. For example, in Sweden there's a law stating that electronics have a 2 year "reklamationsrätt" (literally translated "right to make a complaint" and it's basically like a warranty; if the store refuses replacement or compensation of properly used products they go on a national public blacklist which also details why they went there). In the US you could probably sue them for false advertising (IP57 rating). These would take a lot of time, but since in this case your tablet was actually defective you shouldn't have any major problem.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rk02:
It was an authorised sony service center. I also contacted sony care and they all tell me the same thing that the warranty is void because the tablet is water damaged. They don't want to accept that their device is defective.

The service center gave me the tablet back after 3 days without even trying to repair it. When I looked at it carefully, 1 more indicator was red and water was coming out of it(suggesting they tried to check it by putting it in water). But they denied doing anything like that and I don't have anything to proove it.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Djhg2000:
Did you show it to any friends/coworkers/family members just before sending it in/receiving it? I'm not a lawyer but it sounds to me like it's time to contact one. Take a picture of it and upload somewhere where we can see it, hopefully a Sony rep will see it if it escalates far enough. Again, the tablet is advertised as IP57 rated so Sony will have a hard time proving it isn't waterproof. If you have any witnesses of the original water damage then that would be great.

Keep the service records, get the service center to print any service logs they have on it and most importantly save all of the existing paperwork in one place, preferably with copies in a separate place to show people. If this comes down to a court case they may want the original papers to confirm that they are indeed authentic.

I wish I could say that everything is clear cut in this case but if the service center dealt additional damage to it then I'd strongly suggest you seek legal advice. I've dealt with dishonest support centers in the past, but none that has caused trouble in this way. In the last case (a defective graphics card) I didn't have any evidence but I could show beyond reasonable doubt that they were likely trying to scam me (they sent me a replacement from another brand while they suddenly had 1 in stock of the brand I sent in). They caved in and replaced the card with the one of the same brand without saying much (they probably realized they'd lose in court).

Make it a habit to take close up and well lit pictures of damages, in this case it would still help you since it's important documentation when you contact a lawyer (email him/her the pictures). Pictures may strengthen your case even if they seem to state the obvious. While you're at it, try to find where and why the water entered the tablet after taking the first batch of pictures and take pictures of what you believe to be the cause too.

Whatever you do, don't settle for some middle ground (store credit of less than the original value, promises to try their best with Sony, etc.). There are some tricky things they can do to try to rid themselves from responsibility, if it's verbal communication bring a tape recorder (they have to be aware of the recording (legally obtained) for it to be valid evidence in some countries, US included but Sweden excluded as Swedish courts also allow illegally obtained evidence although you may have to separately take responsibility for the illegal part, check with your local laws). A lawyer may help you with this part as well, both with the actual communication and showing the service center you're not going to back down.

Well this post went on a little longer than I expected but I wish you the best of luck in dealing with these guys and getting your tablet fixed.

I showed it to my friends before giving it to the service center and I think the water entered through the flap over the sim card slot.

I have uploaded pictures of the indicators.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Djhg2000:
Good, now you have pictures of the current state (on second thought maybe you should take a picture of the undamaged port too, just to prove it isn't broken now in case you send it in again and it comes back with all indicators triggered) and witnesses to the original damage. I'd say get a lawyer ready just in case and confront the service center with witness accounts (try to get it in writing too). They will have to decide if they are going to fix it or not and is so on what basis.

At this point you will either (1) get it fixed and ask for a written and signed statement of what damage it has and that they will get it back to a condition where it functions as advertised or (2) ask for a written and signed statement of what damage it has and why they refuse to fix it under warranty. If they refuse to fix it and refuse to write a statement then ask why they won't write a statement and then you write down what they reply. Also ask them what damage it has and why they refuse to fix it under warranty and write down that reply too if they don't at this point.

This way you will have their statement in writing either way (though with their signature should be preferred). If they don't refuse to fix it under warranty then have them confirm that it will function as advertised when you get it back (get this in writing too). The formulation of the questions are important and absolutely must include the word warranty. Have your lawyer help you, I'm not sure my formulations are bulletproof.

This is about as much advice I dare to give without the backing of a lawyer education, but seriously do get a lawyer if they continue to behave this way. Again, I wish the best of luck.

[General Topics] RedMist:
The tablet it'self is initially impressive. The textured back gives a nice grippy feel and overall impressions are that it's a good value-for-money tablet.

Jelly bean / 16GB storage / 1GB ram / IPS screen / Mini-SD / Mini-HDMI / Google Play Store

A few bits of bloatware - Angry birds etc. But basically stock Jelly bean

For £139 its seems quite reasonable.

However, after a few days the screen had failed, so back to Currys it went.

Then it went again. This time I worked out what the problem is. You can turn the brightness of the screen down to pitch black. When in this state you cannot then make the screen bright again. It's effectively useless.

I was talked through re-flashing the device by versus and it worked again.

I contacted them again to ask how this bug was going to be fixed - There doesnt seem to be an OTA updater for jelly bean (you have to use a USB cable and RockChip flashtool) and I was told

"The option to reduce the brightness down to zero is not a fault its an option. As long as you don't reduce the brightness to zero you should be fine"

This is totally unacceptable for any tablet, budget or not. It's not an "option" to disable your tablet. It's an outright bug.

Since then I have found the tablet in this state, without me touching the brightness, three times. So there is obviously something else which sets the brightness to zero.

TL : DR

Do not buy! It has a bug which disables the tablet, which Versus refuse to admit is a bug.
[General Topics] arnookie:
Sorry this is not a bug and can be easily reset if set to low. It was also solved with a ota update that it also can do when you state it can not. This was a very unfair post. Posted this a bit late though but people should know this was an unfair post!
[General Topics] RedMist:
Firstly, there was no easy way to reset this. You HAD to reflash to reset.

Secondly, at the time of writing there was no firmware that fixed this issue.

Lastly, at the time of writing there was no OTA. There was not even a "Check for updates" in the settings. When this bug was reported, it had to be done via a download from Versus and connecting up via USB cable. Maybe the update included an OTA option. /Shrugs

If it "wasn't a bug" why did they fix it? BTW, I was probably the very first person in the UK to install this fix.

I have a pair of V-Moda Crossfade Lp headphones which came with two cables, a regular 3.5mm one and another with music controls; it is actually designed to work specifically with Apple devices, but just today I tried plugging it in my HTC and only one of the three buttons (volume up, volume down and play/pause) which is the play/pause button. Not only does it play and pause music, but if you keep holding it, it opens Google Now and if you press it twice, it redials the last number. For some reason, though, the volume controls don't work, and they are actually more important to me than that third button. Any ideas on how to get it to work or is it not possible hardware-wise?
