[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wayne56:
Hi, I have tried searching the forums for this however have not found anything specific to my case.

My phone's battery died about a month ago and I left it on charge overnight to find that it hadn't charged at all. I charged it for a further 2 hours on a different socket with still no luck, so then charged it by USB on a PC for another 2-3 hours until it powered on.

This problem has luckily not occurred again, however ever since this, every USB wall charger I have previously used to charge the phone (Samsung charger and other various ones) do not charge the phone. The only wall charger that works is an iphone one. I think I broke the OEM charger so am not exactly sure where the fault lies in that, charger or phone. It is definately not a fault with the cable(s) that I am using.

So my question is this, could this be a potentially battery/phone degrading problem, and is this reason enough to send the phone off for warranty, or will they turn round and say "well you should be using the OEM charger anyway". Just seems wrong that they used to work, now they don't.

Thanks for your help, really appreciate it,

Wayne.

*** EDIT: I have also flashed a stock vodafone .FTF and updated to lastest firmware with no change ***

Anyone have any idea?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fakhreza:
I think you have to try to charge your phone with another OEM charger (maybe you have friends that also in possession of Xperia Z).

If the phone still not charging, then you should claim your warranty. Just don't tell Sony that you were using non-OEM chargers to charge your phone. Just tell them your battery is dead and the charger doesn't work anymore. :D

I would like to know if it's possible to create and update.app file from a working huawei phone so if something goes bad, one would be able to use pink mode to install their previously created backup.

I'd also like to know for example what happens when installing an update.app and what checks are being made initially for the update to proceed on step 2/2 to finish the installation.

And tried cm10 no way, tried slimbean no way, Am just stuck at it. DONT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO

Guys pls advice me on what else to do, it's just 2 weeks old and I got no warranty over it....
[HTC Sensation] grtbhl:
Did you try going back to Stock ROM? I would strongly recommend flashing back to the Stock Rom and then --

Enter the following line of USSD code in your Phone Dialer to get into the Diagnostic Menu

type *#*#3424#*#* and you will enter in HTC Diagnostic menu 3424 means (DIAG)

Test your Wifi and Bluetooth from there. If you are still not getting any positive results, then go the Settings > About Phone > Software update and check for any updates regarding the phone from Htc.

I faced a similar problem regarding Wifi not powering on and it turned out to be a Settings Update which broke the Wifi. I uninstalled the update and the phone worked as a charm.

Good Luck,

Ravi.

Hi i baught a sensation cheap coz the wifi r bluetooth did not work, tried every fix, s-off, radio, firmware everything but nothing worked at all. Turned out that it was the back battery cover, there is copper looking pins on there but they aint pins, they just conductive paint and they worn through to the plastic so this is what i done, look at the pics, now i have perfect wifi and bluetooth ever since. Its worth a try

Linked below is a flashable zip of deodexed apps and framework for the AT&T 4.1.2 OTA update (DMG2).

This is mainly intended to give devs a head start working on ROMs and mods until we get the firmware tar available.

Installing this zip will delete your odexed apps and framework and replace witht the deodexed version.

If you have not aldready received the 4.1.2 OTA, I have explained how to do so here.

You must be rooted, have a custom recovery, and have busybox installed to flash this.

I have done some minor de-dloating (mostly AT&T and some GApps). The apps I removed are available in the Debloat zip (not flashable).

Proceed at your own risk!

Hi there. It turns out that i need to sim unlock my phone within the next couple of days and i know that there are paid ways of doing this online with an unlock code, however ive rooted my phone and I'm currently running an IceColdJelly ROM and my HOX is the international version. how is the best way for me to sim unlock my device?
[HTC One X] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
you need a sim unlock code from your carrier or so no way through custom rom
[HTC One X] LiamKenny:
so do i need to remove the custom rom in order to do this?
[HTC One X] deftoner:
Hello there LiamKenny, the rom has nothing to do with the unlock of the phone.

The ppl always recommend that you be on the stock rom to run the unlock code but "just in case".

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Luj1:
Hello everyone. First off, I have read this - Things You Should Know About Lithium Ion Battery. Secondly, I know this smartphone has a weaker battery than most, which combined with a dual-core 1ghz CPU makes it drain in about two days on average (I am an entry-level user). However, I've managed to optimize battery life through various options and by staying on factory Android (2.3.7) so now it can last to about four days, so I was very happy. Now more about the 'incident'.

Usually I charge my phone at home on an unused wall socket. But this time I charged it at my friends place on an extension cable which was literally packed with cables and his PC stuff. First thing I noticed is that it took a lot longer to charge my phone. It took nearly two hours to charge my phone from around half capacity to full, while at home this is usually accomplished in 30 minutes.

After this I've noticed that battery life deteriorates much quicker, it now lasts about a day and that's when just idling and not doing anything (!), so I'm back to the state before I managed to prolong battery life and even worse.

So what happened? Did my phone suffer irreversible damage to the battery?

As much as I can tell from a layman point of view, the AC flow on that extension cable felt 'unstable' so maybe it means the battery was charged with 'lower quality' current?

Now every subsequent charge I do at my home improves battery life for the first few hours, but after a point it still deteriorates rapidly and that's while my phone is not even awake. I get the feeling I should let it discharge completely (even though this is not advisable for Li-Ion) and charge it fully from zero to full capacity? Kind of letting the battery format again in normal conditions maybe?

Much appreciated. Luka from Serbia.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Luj1:
Here are the screenshots (cant post full links)

imageshack.us/f/706/wt9e.png

This is how my battery life looks after 22 hours. As you see, most of it was when the phone was not awake.

Here I drew a green line to indicate how my idle battery life looked like before.

Hey everyone! When. My contract is up with sprint I will most likely be leaving them for another carrier. I am leaning towards T Mobile because of their upgrade plans and good "4g" speeds.

What carrier would you move to and why? I live near Orlando Florida if that makes a difference. Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
T-Mo cuz I am never going to ATT again and screw Verizon in their money hungry pig faces... I'll probably stay with Sprint tho, but it's between those two only for me.

Already left sprint! Went to T-Mobile and it's been awesome so far.

Great speeds, cheap plans, good phone upgrade system, and they use gsm phones so if I ever get sick of them I can sim unlock and go with just about any carrier in the world.

I have been testing t mobile for work, and we already have sprint. What a difference. I can't wait for my contact to end. My phone calls don't drop longer, the speeds are 4 times as fast... T mobile is a good option IMO.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graydiggy:
My contract is getting terminated on the 3rd of September. I am going over to AT&T. I love their customer service, and where I live they have great service. My biggest concern is where I work. That could be anywhere from Alaska up to New York at any ship building yard and sometimes a few miles off shore, any other carriers other than Verizon have no signal in those areas. Verizon is ok, but AT&T has a good signal inside the ships and a few miles offshore. T-Mobile and sprint... Nothing even around the ships.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gil81:
I'm on boost right now, but definitely looking to T-mobile for the future..Better speeds...I'm just waiting to save the money for the S4...Doesn't matter where I'm at..I will always have a Samsung device..:good:

<3ing T-mobile

I bought an HTC One outright on Swappa for $460 and put it on the T-mobile prepaid $30/month plan Sim-kit I got at wal-mart. (Did I get raped for $20 you ask? NO because this includes the first month of use with it, so technically you can ignore the entire "add funds" step on the setup page. Comes with 5GB unthrottled data but only 100 mins. I use Groove IP + Google Voice anyway so this is a sweet deal for me. Gonna stick it to sprint who wouldn't let me out of contract due to material changes in July, since to them they are not "material" unless they make my bill go up. Which is utter bullcrap. Did you know? Sprint is NOT a member of the BBB. I find that funny.....I am currently roaming data trying to get my line cancled, but will probably eat the ETF(which with less then 9 months left, shouldn't be so horrible, and port my # to google voice for $20(so I never have to worry about giving my t-moble # out anyway)

I also feel that we do not get any roaming data on this plan.....but I'm near wifi enough daily to not really care, and even not roaming, the 2G speeds are still waay faster then any ****ty Sprint speeds. I've gotten 4GHSPA+ and 4GLTE in nearby towns and boy it was nice and fast! Still no Sprint 4GLTE what so ever, nor any 4GWiMax remotly near me (ironically they chose to give New Bedford MA LTE before Boston even? Seriously sprint?( Thus my GS2 is a very very sad phone to use :(

I also like how the ONE has b/g/n wifi so now I can actually get 100% signal in my bedroom whereas my poor GS2's G only had 1-1/2 a bar with me hanging it over my head to use -.-

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darklavalizard:
I left them for PagePlus. While PagePlus does not have 4G yet, it's a BYOD (If you know the right people) and their coverage and 3G speeds are just like Verizons (they are true Verizon MVNO). Only $55 a month for unlimited talk/text with 2GB of data, and normally with promo codes you can get it down to $52.50. I plan on sticking with them until I can afford real Verizon (which currently for 1 line and 2GB of data would cost me $90 a month after company discounts :crying:)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Erusidhion:
I was with Sprint and actually never had a problem with their service. I was on the Unlimited Everything plan on the Samsung Epic 4G Touch and it came out to about $132.00/month with the phone insurance. The service for me was sensational as I am in West-Central Florida although I lived in 3G coverage and 4G was not available unless I went towards Tampa/West Coast. I never had any complaints or problems.

Eventually though I asked myself why I was paying that much a month for service when I could just hop over to MetroPCS and pay $40.00 for unlimited. I had a couple MetroPCS phones lying around for donor phones and I have not looked back since. The 3G coverage is a little spotty in some areas if you travel away from the coast but all in all; it was a way cheaper option.

When T-Mobile completely takes over MetroPCS and forces people onto GSM devices (Epic 4G Touch is CDMA), if that happens; I will gladly switch over to the S4 or S5 if it is out by then. Until then my Epic 4G Touch does everything I want and don't see too many reasons to upgrade yet.

I went with Ting because of their Bring Your Own Device program. It has worked really well for the past 6 months. The only part that annoyed me was the phone number porting process. After that, it has been the same service as Sprint, but it only costs $33 a month for my usage.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hotspace:
Congratulations on your PCS! That whole area is beautiful. From my research...T-mobile has amazing speeds as long as your along a major transportation corridor. If you venture off the beaten path or live too far off the main roadway, your service will suffer. Just my.02

The Switch

While it has been a pretty ridiculous journey for my cell phone carrier choice, I finally landed at page plus. Originally I had Verizon and that was in the days when smart phones were not so common. I had an inexpensive plan, but once I was married I moved to a family plan. It just started costing way too much, we literally used about 500 minutes a month and 1500 texts between us a month for $145 a month. So we decided to switch to sprint and have smart phones with unlimited data for about $20 less a month (after discounts). I really looked at our usage on sprint and decided we need something that was not as expensive but had generally the same features. So we switched to boost mobile because of the bill shrinkage; that literally lasted a month, coverage is kinda of weak in our area, and there is NO roaming with boost. So finally I discovered page plus. It offered plans that were more along the lines of our usage with the coverage of Verizon without the price. Now moving our phones was not so easy. Had to do quite a bit of research and reading. Finally I flashed our phones over and we are happy with the plans. I really see no reason for us to ever actually go back to a contract carrier, we get most of the benefits for a third of the price (with our plans anyway).

BYOD for sprint phone is not a simple ota programming. You need to manually program your phone for everything to work.

There is roaming, it is 20 cents a minute. But regular rate for texts.

Thanks man. I'm cyber transport, was Airborne special ops. I have to make up my mind in september when I sign a new contract so i'm not sure what to do. I don't want to go tmobile (who I don't think has 4G or LTE there) and have service suck.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mkfryan:
Don't most carriers have a 14 day return policy? I mean sure you might get hit with a restocking fee but at least that way you can get a feel for the service firsthand.
