[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SomeYoungGuy:
Hey guys, I experienced with Red LED and not booting issue, I was able to solve it in a little brutal way.

1) get a guitar pick or something thin

2) at the back of your XZ, look for a gap between the backplate and the frame of the phone and stick your prying tool there

3) slowly wiggle and pry the backplate out, be careful and make sure the adhesive is still good when doing this and don't get it dirty

4) in the middle top of the battery you will see anorange sticker, under it you will see a small black cirlce with a back wire connecting to the battery

5) slowly peel the sticker and disconnect the black circle, this should cut the power

6) reconnect and turn your phone back on, if it shows the sony logo and doesn't completely boot, redo the process and don't turn on and use Fastboot or Flash mode and flash something

Does anybody know if the difference between a bright red LED and a dimmed down Red LED means anything? I get a mix of both when the phone is connected to charger or usb.

Have had this red LED for the past week after changing the screen and havent been able to figure out if it is working as got this light of death. Phone was fully charged before changed screen and left for 3 days - still no luck at retrieving the phone
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SharlzG:
same trouble here

Got my Z3 in June after Z screen got fine cracks through it and was unusable (I didn't drop it. I took it out of dock to turn of alarm, the put it back and went and got ready for work, then picked it up and it was no longer working. They think it may have been because it was warm in the dock and the air was very cold.)

The Z3 has been great but in the last couple of weeks it has shut down and restarted a couple of times, and today it shut down but did not restart. and it now wont start and the LED is now a solid red light. I've tried the power + vol up and power + vol down and plugging it in to laptop but it's still not restarting. It had a full charge when I left home and shut down just as I got to work so after 20min of listening to a podcast on the way to work so should still have had plenty of charge.

Should I take it back to the store?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SaySayonara:
This has happened to me also. After rooting my XZ, i installed Xposed and when it asked me to restart my phone, i clicked yes. The display went black and phone just went DEAD.. :((

Took it to several service centers, tried all the possible button combinations, but with no success.

Finally i managed to get it changed with warranty, but with a lot of talking and convincing that i didn't alter the software. I was even asked if i got the phone wet.

My new XZ (5.0.2) is rooted with KingRoot only + removal script. Say no to xposed if you don't want your phone BRICKED!

And all of this just to replace some stupid statusbar icons.. No thanks, won't try that again.

At least not with non-removable battery phones..

Hope you'll manage to bring it back to life! ????

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smitpandya7600@ gmail.com:
Dude sony nowdays giving 0% quality and messing more.I just bought xperia z and xperia L both died and i am devloper.I just wasted money on it because it's xperia series motherboards are not configured properly.And they are already setted time in motherboard for failure after 2 years or after 1year+ 3months.So they can earn profit from richer customers.Secondly sony customercare is biggest mess have ever i saw.The ahmedabad himalaya mall sony xperia z customercare is like they just posted 10th and 12th passed man and 1 or2 kind technitions.

I just ask him for repair or replacement parts.The commerce pass or 10th pass woman told me " You are out of warrenty period ? I said " yes".Then why you are here? Go somewhere else repair stall and repair it." I just shocked. I bought 30,000rupee phone and its just 1 year+2 month old i hear like this.

After i requested her if anything happenes this phone i will ready to accept mess during operation or replacement. I can write on paper so sony wont reposible for this bad repair cause. Still she say me no no and no.

That time i locked in my mind never ever never ever sony phones and leptops i will buy fro

Sony. and what is bravia engine?the bravia engine is just equals to 720dpi hd ratio which all 4,000rs up nowdays all mobimes is giving.all android is giving.

So sony is just old technology nowdays.For more informstion about bravia engine search 3dxmax and see rating of any equipment of sony and 3dxmax tag maker said its just 1020 hd resolution in bravia engine 23hue which contributes to equals to 1080hd resolution notthing else more for clarity.

And mobo compition 2015 also taging that sony xperia series is only knowing for good design and architecture of model.So what's about inside functions? If phone wasnt working properly then what about its design and body. Then its just 10rs. Mobile toy for us.I dont know other coutry about so y service .But indian sony services is just like crap putting secondary fail ppls like that.

Very bad bad bad support feom sony on puchasing upto 60,000 thousand rupee items. And dead.better than buy 10,000rupees other brand android device thatvis better.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShannonS1:
If you take to a repair shop and get them to disconnect and reconnect the battery the phone should start up if not but vibrates then its your screen, I know this because i repaired one that was in the same way.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dxavify:
happened to me one or two years ago. After trying lot of method. I used desperate measure (back there, quick charge system doesn't exist yet). I charge XZ by using higher current (or ampere) charger. I have nothing to lose, either my phone revived or explode. After 1 hour charging........Sony splash screen and i use XZ until today
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OldLodgeSkins:
This problem happened to me while the phone (a Z3+) was off and charging, around 45%... I wanted to turn it on without removing the USB cable (don't know if it changes anything), it didn't turn on but instead the LED went red. Plugged or unplugged I had that fixed red LED.

Here's what worked for me - I found this by googling the problem: hold both sound buttons and the power button for several seconds.

The LED went off, my phone vibrated, then I could turn it on normally...

I hope it helps some of you guys :)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicklsu1:
Here's what worked for me.... remove the back of the phone, disconnect the battery cable, plug in via USB charger, reconnect battery cable while plugged in. I immediately got the Sony logo and sucessfully booted up after trying all of the other suggestions. This was the only thing that worked for me.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoDiskNoFun:
For me this does not work, but -->

remove back and battery

connect to PC --> blue led goes on

connect battery

do $fastboot continue

no quickly remove PC USB and reconnect to charger

with this process i was able to boot twrp or let it go to charger screen

no my phone is charging. I'll let it charge a day and update if it gets back to life.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asfiahacker:

same issue occurring on my sony xperia c5 ultra e5553. phone is stucked on a steady red light indicator and won't turn on. WHAT SHOULD I DO?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kompikita:
i had the same problem to, my computer wont detect the phone, i've tried with short pins on board, but nothing happen, hope someone can help here
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] georkalo:
For all of you that your phone stucks with the red light on when trying to charge it , just unplug the charger and plug a device(like a usb or mouse) with an otg connector , it will turn off immediately the red light so if you have battery just turn it on by pressing the power button , if not try to charge it again. The otg device drains the power left on the port circuit so the phone unbricks.

Sorry for my english

Hope that it works for you too
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miladhalibak:
Hey guys ..

I have a Xperia Z5

last night I had a same problem, my phone was dead and when I pressed the power button phone vibrated once and the red light light up. and so on.. with every vibrate while i was holding power button the red light showed up and also after I release the power button the red light still turned on every 4-5 seconds.

I red this thread and as people said I left the phone for about 8 hours and when I came back, I've pluged the phone to charger and pressed the power button but it was still the same. black screen with no entry to fastboot and bootloader. So again I left it for about 4 hours. I plug the phone to the laptop and before plug in, pressed vol up button and suddenly it goes to fastboot. I really couldn't believe that :))

at the end I flashed stock rom with flashtool.

Thanks everybody who shared their experience
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baronkaz:
thats it! thank you, sir! no other methods worked for my c6603. only after draining the power left on the port circuit, i was able to boot my device again. thanks for the great idea!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Domush:
Okay, so I've tried a ton of different JB ROMs and have come to the conclusion it's not meant for the Fascinate. Between slowdowns, memory issues, missed calls, bluetooth crashes and app incompatibilies it just isn't worth it on our phone.

So, this is how you can join me in moving back to a fully working and FAR more responsive ICS (Gummy ROM). Not only is my phone zippy fast again, all apps work as intended (including Samba Filesharing, Pandora, Snapchat and LBE Privacy Guard!). No more weird errors, no more 'such and such stopped responding', no more missed calls! It's just like a working phone.. because now it is!

I ended up:

- Doing an Odin of CI500_VZW_EH03_GB_CM.tar.md5 and atlas_v2.2.pit (re-partition option checked, battery installed)

- booted it

- back to odin again (battery in)

- odined cwm4_fixed_for_cm7-ODIN.tar

- booted into recovery directly (3 finger after battery pull)

- flashed teamhacksung-ota-eng.BUILD2.zip

- booted it

- rebooted to recovery via power menu

- flashed Gummy_fascinatemtd-Release-2012-06-15-03_38.zip

- booted it

- rebooted to recovery via power menu

- flashed gapps-ics-20120317-signed.zip, Glitch-fascinatemtd-SkunkWorks-20120510.1733.zip and TitaniumBackup.zip

- booted

- restored my apps + data (not system data, just app data)

- profit!

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mldiroff:
Dude, you just saved my ass. I was effin' around with my GF old Fascinate, which I've used basically as a learning device for my kids, and I thought I'd flash a new 4.2.2 ROM (I was on another that I can't remember). Well, it didn't go well and of course I didn't have a nandroid. All of my nandroids were ICS and earlier and simply restoring wasn't gonna work. Thanks so much for this! Took me a while, but I got it done.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Domush:
After using gummy rom for a while, I've found I've had some pretty irritating lag issues. I'm now running avatar ics rom and recommend flashing that instead of gummy. Also, avatar rom doesn't need a custom kernel as its plenty fast without the need to overclock.

Otherwise the flash directions are the same as gummy rom

Note, I'm speaking of avatar ics, not avatar jb. Cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
Hey everyone, if you've updated to 4.3 go into the Phone app, settings. You can now enable dial pad auto-complete.

It will auto-complete both phone numbers and names (T9-style). So if you want to call Anna and you enter 2662, Anna's number will appear as an auto-complete option.

Nifty! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] T-Keith:
Nice to see more cyanogenmod features coming to aosp. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
Haha yes. It's a very nice unobtrusive implementation.

I think there may have been patent issues preventing them before, but they found a way around.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
CM is awesome. Everybody knows that. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sykosoft:
Honestly, on this one, it's about time. This is a simple feature I've been missing, and the only conclusion I could come to is that someone held a patent for it and that's why it wasn't here. It's in Windows Mobile (earliest version I ever used), and most other platforms, including feature phones. This one excites me, but it's still about time.

(That said, I'm thankful to no longer use a 3rd party dialer to accomplish this).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] panki_86:
This is not cyanogenmod feature, this feature is from old WinMo OS called Smart dialing ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bbiao:
It's GREAT!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigcignus:
nice function. Just one question:

The auto-complete only shows three best matching names. What if you have more than three Annas (following your example)? Can't find any way to select other than first three contacts showing (as you can do in any custom ROM)...

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fifarunnerr:
Enter her last name. Or her initials.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigcignus:
correct... but google could have done a better job copying other t9 dialers out there with vertical list of all matching contacts instead oh just three... anyway thanks the same.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TRZ06:
sweet! been waiting for them to add this feature. thanks for the heads up!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cerealcable:
You don't need more than three friends with the same name!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] UncleMike:
I appreciate having this in the stock dialer, since every dialer replacement I've ever tried had serious lag to it. If this was the first appearance of such a feature on any OS I would say it was GREAT, but this feature has existed elsewhere for YEARS, and the other implementations I've seen make this look amateurish at best. Come on Google! Really? A list of up to 3 people, and no way to select which number to use for the selected contact?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TacticalDesire:
Very nice to finally see it here. One of the things I've been missing. And I love the implementation of it. I'm very glad Google took the time to actually refine Android and polish it instead of rushing out with a bunch of crazy features and introducing more bugs on top of the ones that were already there for some people.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vkamicht:
Long-press on the contact and you can do just that (and set a number as default!)

I actually don't mind only having 3 choices - look up last names or first and last initial and this should never really be a problem. I really like the animations when the choices fly around and wish the keyboard would do that with suggestions as you typed. Some consistency across the OS is nice ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ej8989:
What if i got 5 friends named ANNA with no middle/last names and i only distinguish them thru their contact photos? The phone's features should be designed according to how people want to use them, not forcing people to use them the way the developers want them to (apple-ish). Nonetheless, still a good feature and yeah, nice animations too :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
If you have five friends named Anna and you don't know any of their last names, maybe they are not really your friends? :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ej8989:
So the "solution" is to add last names. Great idea. I never thought of that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] md1008:
Cool, didn't realize that this wasn't apart of aosp. I am just use to touchwiz from my old gs3 and note 2(cries I love that bloody phone. But bills need to be paid :'( )
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] isajoo:
Was this feature just not on stock ROMs previously?

Cause I've had it on 4.1.2 PA 2.54 for the past 10 months.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matteventu:
Yes, T9 dial-pad autocomplete was missing in all the stock Android version previous than 4.3.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] madd0g:
That's basically what adults do/have.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
Technology is designed for expected use cases. Most people prefer to enter unique enough contact names that they can tell the difference between who's who. While I recognize that distinguishing by contact photo is also a valid approach, in Android there is frequently the risk that something might step in and change that photo. For example one of your Annas may get a Google+ profile and put a photo of her cat in there, in which case her default contact photo may transform into a cat. So I think it's really not the wisest idea to rely on that anyway.

In one spectacular failure of contact photos, let's call this guy Nate Stevens (not his real name). There is one Nate Stevens I know in Ontario who is on my Facebook and is close with a good friend of mine (and is purely platonic). There is another Nate Stevens in BC who I used to sleep with frequently and is not on my Facebook, but is in my contact list. Well, the latter Nate sent me a few dirty texts and I was shocked to pull down the notification shade and see Ontario Nate's photo. Oops! HaxSync matched the Facebook photo to the wrong Nate. I had to rename him Nate(BC) Stevens to ensure it wouldn't sync that photo over again :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ej8989:
Thanks for those 'very' serious comments/suggestions but my only point was that CM's custom dialer (used and modded by many roms) was better than the new 4.3 dialer. :P :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] topnomi:
I agree wholeheartedly. I have over 400 contacts in my phone, across 2 google accounts. The old "cm" way was perfect, it showed me every contact number that fit. often i would put a couple numbers in, then click the down arrow and select the 5th or 6th one and call. it worked perfect! Now it's almost useless. I find myself thinking about using a 3rd party dialer; that is ridiculous!

Hopefully the rom devs devise a way to use the old way for those of us who like it. just like they did when google screwed up the default app chooser.

It's almost bad enough for me to roll back to a 4.2.2 based rom. Almost, but not quite.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
The old way was no suggestions in the dialer at all. Google didn't make it worse, they just made an incremental improvement. The dialer you preferred was a custom ROM feature in the first place, so of course devs will continue that work.

Whereas the app chooser definitely did become worse. Although I became used to it once I realized I could double tap an app instead of tapping followed by Just Once.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] topnomi:
As i noted, the old 'cm' way, which gave me suggestions. This is what i've had by default on every 4.1+ rom.
