Hi every body

Firstly, sorry for my english which can be bad.

I bought a iocean x7 youth Turbo (MT6589T) on antelife

I got ghosts on screen when i went on play store but this bug is resolved by the spanish fix FTS_upgrade

BUT I have two bugs which are impossible to resolve for me

- bottom left of the screen, there is always a "ghost click" which opeen the phone app for example, and this in all applications

- When i'm in any application, after 5 - 10 sec without touch the screen, the phone freeze and the screen doesn't repond (touche keys either) and I can do nothing, I have to lock and unlock the phone, and after it works correctly

Any body have these bugs ? Any solution please ?

Thank you very much, i'm very bothered..

PS : I have already change the rom of the phone and the bugs are always here

EDIT : a guy have exactly the same problem : youtube. com/watch?v=HeDwvfo_Wgw

My iocean x7 elite get worse!

This spanish fix, just made the problem worse! Is there a way to I undo it? I mean just unistall the FTS app doesn't undo the things right?

Before the spanish fix, the ghost touches was only in the Play Store, and rarely when "hold home button" but now... every touch, it makes tons of ghost touches. How do I know that? I activate "show touches" and "pointer location" (I don't know if I wrote correct, I am not english, but I hope beeing understandable)

Edit: after 2 hours trying to undo this "spanish fix", I already has unistalled the FTS app, but the triplicated ghost touches continued. I has installed (with much dificulty, because the ghost touches, letter by letter hauehuaehu) the Rom Manager to try to instal a custom rom... and after those 2 hours I close the Rom Manager, because it has been asking for a "Custom Recovery" and I will search for that... tcharam... those ghost touches stopped!

I don't know, if my phone needed to take some time to the SPANISH FIX has effect... but I Take Back What I Said! It seems it worked, take a while, things seems to get worse, but worked.

And I tell more, now I don't need to slide all the horizontal screen to go to another "screen", It seems to improved the "touch sense", now a slide about a width of an icon is enough!

I am very happy now! hahahuaehueahuaeu
[General Questions and Answers] makemehappy71:
You have resolved the problem ?? Please make a tutorial !
[General Questions and Answers] illmtoloko:
its the Spanish Tutorial

I can't post links because I am a new user but I'll try...

blog. powerplanet.es/iocean-x7-%C2%AD%C2%ADelite-solucion-a-las-pulsaciones-fantasma/

Its in spanish, I don't have a problem with spanish, but if you prefer use google translator, this tutorial is very easy, just follow the instructions and the print screens.

Please check this link, its the Spanish Fix that the user who created this post was talking about.

But as I said, first it seems that my cellphone get worse, after some time and after I haved installed the Rom Manager.... Read careful my post, in the end it worked! Its been 5 days now, and it really worked for me, my cellphone is so smooth now, no ghost touches at all!

:)

(And please, go to "about phone" > "click 3 times fast in Android Version" > and Check the "Show touches" and "Pointer location"

To see the touches, and be sure them stopped!) Sorry about my english too :)

I hope it work for you.

it's a rar thing comes from back in the day when people wanted to

compress 1 big file to many small compressed files so they would fit disks

when you extract the file from any of the rar's it should automaticly

extract the part of the file located in the other part of the archive

Can you put a bigger signature i don't read it correctly...

Some things are wrong, like rooting your phone avoid your warranty, where did you take your informations?

Why not a single word about the risk of installing a custom kernel? The hard-brick problem, the fact that SUS and PCC won't work on a custom kernel, that's very important informations you should get before thinking about installing a custom kernel.

Great initiative! :)

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kgs1992:
This is really good! :good:

One small suggestion, if I may, I think when it comes to choice of recovery, you should make a small comparison between the types of recoveries available.

CWM non-touch recovery lacks AROMA support, and I think that's a huge drawback.

Maybe you can add more such differences that you can find.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aman_Arora:
In my veiw you are right but anything u say the person my have done hard work to build the recovery.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aashay960:
It is written that rooting will 'void' warranty which means that warranty will be over if you root the phone. There is a difference between 'void' and 'avoid'

Deal with it.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:
Not to argue with the fact that warranty shouldn't be affected by root (it shouldn't) , but that is solely a European directive.

Sony do not have to stick by that ruling in the rest of the world, including India where the person you are arguing with is from. So, it's perfectly plausible that they could deny a warranty claim because of root and get away with it in some territories (unless a similar ruling is made there).

Also, might I suggest that you do not post in such a confrontational manner when there is no call for it, especially in cases such as now when you haven't considered what might be the case in areas apart from the one you live in yourself. :)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QualQuek:
Absolutely not, read the wikipedia article.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:
I have. It only mentions legality in Australia, Europe and the USA. Rulings made in those territories do not cover India and never will.

If you somehow think that India has to stick by a European directive, then I'm not sure what to say about that.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QualQuek:
Oh you think that doesn't apply to other countries except that Europe, USA and Australia?

I don't think so, most of other countries haven't any law about it so maybe that make jurisprudence.

Anyway even in India i'm not worried about that.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:
I know it doesn't apply. European directives only have to be adhered to by member states of the European union. End of story.

As for laws in other regions, why would you think anywhere else has to follow them? It's illegal to network unlock a carrier subsidised phone in the USA. Do you think that makes it illegal elsewhere? Most countries courts do not take foreign rulings into account with regards to jurisprudence and rather make rulings based on the evidence at hand and their own judgement.

You're wrong in this case and no amount of arguing to and fro will change that. :)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QualQuek:
You have no proof that doesn't apply.

It's totally legal to root your phone and that doesn't void the warranty in any other country of the world, if not then prouve it or just stfu forever.

There is nothing so closed as a closed mind.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directive_(European_Union)

Please read up before arguing. :)

Also, please stop with the aggressive, insulting tone. There is no need for it. ;)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QualQuek:
Don't take your case for a generality, there is no agressive tone, you're continuing arguing a point where you're wrong, you have no proof and nothing to detail your way.

Like i said, prouve it that's not legal or just close your mouth and stop being retard, there is no law in India that said it's forbidden to root your phone, so nothing to prouve that's not legal.

You're wrong deal with it.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:
I never said it was forbidden. I said it was plausible that warranty could be denied unless a ruling was made that rooting is fine and doesn't break warranty. I also said I personally believe it shouldn't invalidate warranty.

Proposing a hypothesis is different to stating flat out that something is forbidden.

Still, rulings made in certain countries/regions have no bearing in the rest of the world.

Also, again, please stop with the name calling. It's childish and has no place in a reasoned discussion. Thanks.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QualQuek:
Let me quote you :

"I know it doesn't apply" So now "it's plausible that warranty could be denied unless a ruling was made that rooting is fine and doesn't break warranty." Seriously?

So please, you don't know what you're talking about, you're just making suppositions with no proof, you should stop now, you contradict yourself, one time you're sure, after you think it's plausible etc...

Steril Talking...
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:
Please read my initial post to you carefully. A few times if need be. You quoted it, so I assumed you had read and understood it.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=44064221

I was (and still am) simply saying that Sony do not need to stick to a European directive in anywhere but Europe. That point is what I've been trying to get across to you the whole time.

You're the only one that brought legality into the argument by telling me to read the wiki article when I already had. ;)

Anyway, I'm out of this argument as it seems we are arguing about different things entirely :D

Have a nice day. :)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QualQuek:
Tard a day, tard alway.

Sony has nothing to do with the fact of rooting your phone or not, Sony is the manufacturer, that only warranty your phone of latent defect, they just don't care what you do with your phone, except unlocking bootloader.

So now just stop talking you're just ridiculous.

For the last time :

ROOTING YOUR PHONE IS LEGAL ALL OVER THE WORLD

No matter, Sony, No matter your country that's the reality even if you're disagree.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tijmen:
Please stop this idiotic bantering. None of you are completely right, but what you are saying is complete nonsense. The fact that there is no rule against it doesn't mean it's legal, and European jurisprudence has no value outside of Europe.

But most of all, I don't like your tone. Keep your discussion civilized, font size 7 isn't gonna make your point make anymore sense than a normal size, and calling someone a retard is downright offensive. I'll make a note of this and don't want to see this again.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:
236 is a test software version for brown devices only, I believe. I don't think those devices are updated the same way as retail ones (I could be wrong though), so they will probably have to use Flashtool to update.

Updating Software

The first thing when I got the Z was to root it and since then I haven't done any updates:

so currently I am Rooted (Locked Bootloader and no CWM recovery, only root access) on version 10.3.A.0.423

I know, the version is from ages ago and I got the Software Update notification telling me 10.3.1.A.2.67 is available so here comes my question:

1 what happens if I just update through this app - will it brick or I loose root?

2 if that is not safe, how do I safely update and keep root access?

Many thanks
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aethervagrant:
It wont brick, but you may lose root. If you do its easy to get.back- Update to 67 fw, download flashtool from the thread for it. Download latest doomroot. Use flashtool to flash over an old kernel and UNCHECK the wipe boxes, now doomroot will work. Flash the 67 kernel back. You.cand find.the kernels in the thread as well so you dont need to download entire 700mb ftf files, but its.good to have a full.ftf of.the 67 fw anyway so that you.can easily recover from any softbricks or.bootloops in the future.

If you have a standard z the dual recovery is a good idea to install so you can make backups and.flash things. If you have a tmobile z use the XZRecovery apk to easily install twrp without problems.

You may wonder if 67 is worth the hassle, in my experience it is, much smoother and eliminiated some errors I was having with 423.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tibrocks:
Hi and thanks,

well that was the main reason I wanted to update: because of the many errors in .423..

the thing is it didn't work.. I ran the update, the download went fine but then rebooted immediately and now instead of the 'new software available notification' I get 'Can't Update'

tried this several time, I have also reset the Updater app but still - it won't update

any ideas?

Thanks
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aethervagrant:
Not sure why the ota app isnt working for you, but I don't recommend it anyway. It seems like a pain in the butt to set up but using the flashtool program on a pc is the way to go, you wont be able to do the kernel downgrade to root without it. Also the files will all come in handy if you ever need to recover from a mishap later, or want to try a rom based on a different stock firmware version.

Hi!

Hi!

It's my fourth day using my XZ still confused and start anything. I got excited on updating the firmware that I updated to .101 but that was the biggest mistake that I had made being a noob using XZ from Samsung is very confusing. here is the question, my XZ is from UK can I flash a Stock rom from different region without having any issues? My XZ is C6603 by the way.

The other thing is I think the easiest version to root version of the 4.2.2 is the .67 but I'd been looking for hours already still can't find a downloadable file of the .67 version. or any version will be fine? so I can just download anything that I can search?

thanks in advance for the response :)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yakiqua:
you should be able to do it without having any problems.

if u search on xda u'll find step-by-step guides to root any stock rom. Or u can flash an already rooted stock rom using recovery(CWM or TWRP).

since u r coming from samsung u should know that to flash some roms on sony u need to unlock bootloader, wich will void ur warranty.
