I got some kind or real strange behavior just a secound ago.

My Powerbutton seemed not to work even after pressing it a few times, i than called myself and it worked (first though the battery would be empty).

Afterwards it worked again, no problems whatsoever.

What could that be? It wasnt dropped or washed or whatever, indicators are white :)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LaurynasVP:
I think this probably happened to me a few hours ago. I felt strong and tough push, when I tried to push Power button, but it working still. Now it's normal. Don't know too why it's happening
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dakitz:
Does anybody know if changing power button flex fixes the problem? My power button is broken, and volume up button wakes up device and acts like power button. And I cant turn off the phone, because every time I turn it of, the phone reboots itself... :(
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nokow:
I bought my Xperia Z 14 months ago and today it was my first try to jump with it in the pool while recording a video...then 10 min. later in dry suddently it goes OFF.

i open up the protecters and water comes out... :confused:

i dryed and aired the phone for more than 4 hours...then it responded to power ON... now i have the same bugs with the power button, it doesnt power off-always reboot... while makeing calls after 30 sec. it starts to noise in the ear speaker and my caller lost my voice...?? the flap indicators are all Red(all 3!!) how is this possible?? will sony accept warranty for free? how long does it need for the replacement in europe?? :crying::crying::(
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidtweaker1:
If flap indicators are red you are out of luck my friend Sony will charge you.As you are already out of warranty cycle why don't you try to get it repaired from a local shop.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dakitz:
Unfortunately, water damage is not covered by warranty. Even though your phone is advertised as water resistant and should comply with standards that allow it to be submerged in water under certain conditions. I know, silly...

I've ordered parts for my xperia, going to repair it myself. And after that, i plan on to making it really waterproof, still looking for best options, currently seriously considering standard silicone. :)

I just faced the same issue. I Was taking some photos in rains and suddenly when I am back home the power button stops working. I receive calls n I can unlock phones, but not through power button. For a moment it started working but after 2 hours it stopped completely.

Make sure to delete the partition you created with safestrap then uninstall it. Then use one of the tools in the development section if your not comfortable using fastboot commands to flash either twrp recovery or cwm. Then install your custom rom and it'll work fine.

Is seeder app and seeder v7 zip same app?
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] F4uzan:
OK, first of all, seederv7 and seeder is same.

Overclocking to 1300 Mhz WILL make device hot, and battery drains too fast. L7 already overclocked by default.

And some of build.prop tweaks are USELESS like :

mot.proximity.delay=25 > This is for Motorolla Phone only

ro.media.dec.jpeg.memcap=8000000

ro.media.enc.hprof.vid.bps=8000000 > This is already hardcoded in framework somewhere, it CAN'T be changed in build.prop

ro.config.nocheckin=1 > This is a myth actually. This is only for HTC Phones. This line won't disable anything.

windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=60 > This line is not useless, but it's becoming useless if you recommend to increase it.

So these are my comments. Not all are recommended for L7, and yes i did some Google search first.
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] AmrAllam7:
Hi Bro :laugh:

Ok thank you for this information's i did not know these because i have searched and found these and the thread maker war not written this is for motorollla or htc or dont write it:(

This mod will backup your existing boot animation, and install the stock Nexus boot animation. This mod also includes an addon.d script.

What is addon.d?

On some ROMs, like Cyanogenmod, there are scripts in /system/addon.d that run during a ROM update or flash. They can backup and restore system apps (like Gapps), or perform many other functions. This mod includes an addon.d script, so the boot animation is not lost during a ROM update! If your ROM doesn't support addon.d, this mod should still flash properly, but you won't benefit from addon.d.

Tested and Confirmed to work on:

I have ensured this will install the correct resolution boot animation on the Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4, Nexus 7, and Nexus 10, but it should work on virtually any Android device. Let us know if it works!

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warmo:
hi, i have an htc one s and i want to upgrade. after some searches i think that XZ is the phone for me. but first i have some questions

1) I have read that after the 4.2.2 patch the phone can support exFAT microSD cards, is this true? (it is important to me because i want to transfer files bigger than 4gb)

2)If the previous is true, how do you format the microSD cards? from the phone or from pc?

3) any idea on the availability of the 4.2.2 patch? i live in romania and i want to know if it's available

4) i have read on sony forums that after the 4.2.2 patch some users complained of lag in various areas, such as swaping through menus, gallery, games etc. anyone else experience this?

5) i watch movies A LOT, i often go to friends and mirror the movies from my phone to their tv through the MHL. Currently i have a samsung MHL adapter, do i need to buy another one or does this one suffice?

6) can the Xperia Z play 720p/1080p @ 48fps mkv/mp4 movies without any stutter?

7) what can you say about the camera? i mean shutter speed, low light quality, good light quality. if anyone else can compare this to an htc one s i would appreciate it.

8) how good is the screen, in your oppinion? im fairly satisfied with the amoled on the One S, and i think that switching to the Z will feel like a slight downgrade in terms of screen quality.

9) how durable is it? i dislike my one s because i feel i have to treat it like a new born baby, its made of aluminum and gets scuffs and scratches very easily.

and the most important questions:

does it blend?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hardcore73:
All great questions. I just ordered the Z so I cannot answer them. I will let you know when I review the unit.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dsteppa:
That's true.

Pc or Phone

Phone: Settings>Storage> Unmount Sd Card > Mount SD Card and it should be done.

That's not an issue, just download an FTF file from this forum, doesn't really matter from which country.

(Btw Sal;))

They were probably to lazy not to do a full wipe before installing 4.2.2.

I underCLOCKED my cpu to 1ghz and I have no lag and I'm not even a wizard...

If I'm corrrect the one from Samsung works, not sure tho.

On the SonyMobile site you can buy one for about 30Euro

Shouldn't be a problem @ 30 fps, not sure about 48

I'd like to refer you to this topic and judge for yourself:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2172712

Look from page 35 or something.

I also came from an Amoled phone (Galaxy Note) and I have no complaints, but that's just me, you have to judge it for yourself.

It does blend, but it DOES NOT BEND! So don't try it!

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozzy lion:
Camera is not that great. I am an amerture photographer and I was more impressed with my last phone (i9100). Main issue is Sony overcompress the images so there is quite a lot of noise. Low light is pretty poor really but that is my opinion. If the lighting is favourable then the quality is more than acceptable.

The screen is very sharp and brightness is good. Compared to the AMOLED of the samsungs the colours are more natural which I like. Blacks are not as good though but the Sony screen is a joy to work with none the less.

Given the Xperia is mostly glass on the outside it would be more likely to break than an aluminium one or at least twice as likely for you to end up with broken glass (ie the back or the front). Also the glass comes pre coverd with anti shatter platic film which is very easy to scratch and cannot be replaced. That said I dont use any protection with mine and I'm not that fussed. I don't expect it to look like new when I'm done with it though and I like it to be naked so it isn't bulky in my pocket. I've droped mine a couple of times and it bounced pretty well. The only marks are from when I put it it my pocket with my keys and the sharp car key marked the screen protector.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] littopillo:
(4) First, like Dsteppa (@ #3 post) said, laggy or not depends mostly on how one updates to 4.2.2 (from 4.1.2). Full wipe / factory reset / clean install do really help to avoid lagging.

I've tried serveral approaches to update my XZ to 4.2.2, and finally achieved "no lag" by doing this: format whatever partition I can think of on the phone (system, data etc.) hence resulted in "soft-brick" (phone won't boot but stuck at the SONY logo screen), then plug the phone to SONY's Update Service to repair by flashing the latest 4.2.2 onto it, followed by installing every single app back to the phone 'manually' and not through backups from Titanium Pro.

Second, lagging or not may also be app related. 2 out of 103 apps that I installed do result in sluggish and heat up when run; one is a local weather app, and the other one is Chrome. Both are running good and smooth on 4.1.2 but not on 4.2.2. My wild guess is that they're not optimized for XZ 4.2.2 yet. Freeze them with Titanium Pro (root required) and my XZ is running smooth and ice cold now.

Anyway, I believe if you get a new XZ right now, it should be with 4.2.2 out of the box, so, there shouldn't be any problem, just be aware of what app to use and you'll be fine.

(about my XZ: stock rom 423, Generic HK R4B, odexed, rooted, mod with PureXAudio v18 / Navigation Bar 36dpi)

- - - - - - -

(6) The 'stock' movie player does have some limitations to play those formats you mentioned. "MX Player" does not.

I have tried 480/720/1080, interlaced/progressive, 23.976(or 24)/.../60fps, level 3.0/.../5.1, H.264/AVC/mpeg, AAC/Dolby AC-3/DTS (custome codec required for DTS), mkv/mp4, subtitle(s) with UTF-8 format, 10gb+ a file... etc with MX Player Pro on my XZ, play smooth and no problem so far EXCEPT those files with 10-bit color-rendering instead of the normal use of 8-bit (since 10-bit is not yet supported by hardware acceleration).

I don't have any mkv/mp4 file with HFR 48fps since I only render my DVDs and Blu-rays with framerate set as source, and there is no DVD/Blu-ray disc comes with 48fps so far in the market, including the blu-ray release of Pete Jackson's "The Hobbit", which is using 24p instead of the HFR 48fps like it's theatrical release. Reason is that today's commercial grade blu-ray player and TV doesn't support such framerate for it is not a standard yet; well, in the future yes may be. If you really want to play HFR 48 materials, you will need some industrial grade equipments, like those for use in studios.

So I doubt if XZ can really support 48fps playback; if yes, XZ won't be this small in size, plus, it won't be selling at this price.

Just a side note, movie that you download from Internet which claims itself running at 48fps, is just a gimmick and use 'fake' frame to achieve it's so-called 48fps, not true HFR 48. When playback, it won't do any good but harm your system/player since extra computing power is required to handle/correct those fake frames, which are supposingly not being there.

Hope this help.
