[Sony Xperia ZR] Crag Hack:
you have a point here , yes the removable back cover dose not mean it will be bad for water proofing , but still it is scary to try it in the water.

to sum the whole water proofing thing , i think that water proofed devices should have very few moving parts , and that is flaps and back cover...

Xperia Z1 and S4 active (that has removable back cover) share this feature of having only one flap , the uncovered -yet proofed- 3.5 jack is a big win. those seems to be better waterproofed devices.
[Sony Xperia ZR] KAUSTAVBOSE:
Conned by Service Centre

I have to complain about the loss in faith I have had in this company I once trusted, considered reliable. I own a Sony Television, a PS3, Music System, POS Camera and now a Smartphone, the Xperia ZR. But the business policy and Service to Consumers have changed over the years, and this has caused a great emotional and economic distress to me.

I had bought an XPERIA ZR(C5502) on the 11th of September, 2013. After a month of use, suddenly the screen of the phone would not turn on. Other functions were working perfectly as far as my knowledge goes, (i.e. camera button, volume keys etc). A few days ago, it stopped booting altogether.

On contacting the Sony Service centre he informed me that I have done water damage to my phone, and therefore void my warranty. I repeatedly asked him to open(unscrew) the phone and check for any damages, but he told me that he wont open it, because some litmus paper inside the phone had turned red, indicating water damage. I persistently said that the phone has undergone no water damage, and is not turning on, so to please check for any damage inside and fix it as it was just a month old and was under warranty. I repeatedly told him that I have not brought the phone under water contact in any manner, to which he replied that then it was my fault during purchase, that I didnt check the water indicator strip, thereby asserting that I AS A CONSUMER AM NOT ASSURED A DEFECT FREE PIECE UPON PURCHASE. WHY DIDNT YOU PUT A CLAUSE FOR THE CONSUMER, THAT "PLEASE CHECK THE WATER INDICATOR UPON PURCHASE" ? THAT INDICATOR HAS BEEN RED AS FAR AS I KNOW.

ADDITIONALLY, THIS PHONE IS IDENTIFIED AS "WATERPROOF" BY SONY. But he said I had to pay 80% of the phone's actual cost, to get a replacement, and he will NOT REPAIR IT UNDER WARRANTY. ALSO, HE ADDED, THAT HE WILL ONLY OPEN IT TO INSPECT IF HE GETS A SPECIAL EMAIL FROM SONY INDIA AUTHORITIES, INSTRUCTING HIM TO DO SO.
[Sony Xperia ZR] Kratellismorru:
TIP

I've been reading the forums for any problems or issues regarding the ZR for sometime now. I have my ZR for about 4 days now and every now and then I check everything (Except waterproofing, which I have done 4 times pouring water in it and today I tested it again by putting it under the water, so far so good :D).

for this issue, I have a tip for everyone who does not have a charging dock because upon buying my ZR, the only Flap that made me sweat was the headphone flap which was (for my device) really hard to open, while the USB cover was quite easy (really weird for an IP58 certified phone) to open, so I inspected it and concluded an Idea how to preserve it (prevent it from auto-opening).

When putting back the USB-flap cover,

1. insert first the main rubber lock (the one pointing downwards) in its position

2. push the upper part of the flap in its place

- The process is somewhat same in inserting a battery, where you put the battery in an angled position.

,

That way, the main rubber lock (the one near the opening lid), will not bend over-time (will not lock anymore), which may cause auto-opening of the USB-flap cover. I'll try to create an illustration later, I hope this helps everyone!
[Sony Xperia ZR] guianne13:
Hi everyone. Just want to share the problem on my Xperia ZR.

I've tried doing some underwater shots using my X ZR and after some time, I've noticed quite a lot of problems.

1. The Shutter button seems to capture every photo on the first long press (no more half-press for focus)

2. There is some water inside the camera, both front and back cameras. This shows when the outside environment is colder than inside the phone (moist probably). When subjected to outside sun, the moist disappears (but still appears when the environment is colder again)

3. The screen has visible signs of water. It can be seen through the patches on the screen and is strongly visible when the brightness is set to 100%. The touchscreen though is still fully functional (I even used multitouch tester to test the 10 point touch). It looks like the water was inside and outside the screen (I am not sure if it is in between the screen, the shatter proof film, and the screen protector. It looks like it though.) It was annoying looking at it as it has 3 shades (bright, moderate, and dim)

Btw, the phone is still fully functional but just in case, I turned it off and put it in a box with dessicants. I'm pretty sure I've closed all the flaps and I am not even opening them a lot of times since I am not plugging any earphone to it and I have a charging dock.

Are these problems caused by water entering my phone? And will the water inside remain in there? If anyone experienced this problem already, kindly help me, especially the third problem.

Thanks!

-Guianne
[Sony Xperia ZR] Bialynia:
Guianne, sounds like a defective phone or your back cover or a flap were not closed all the way. My phone gets wet every day and I've never had any of the issues you describe.
[Sony Xperia ZR] guianne13:
Bialynia, I am pretty sure all the flaps were closed all the way. If any of the flaps were not closed all the way or the back cover is, I think the phone should have died on the spot. But the thing is, it is still working and no problems aside from those above. Is it possible that the water entered from the screen itself? The screen has small gaps but I am not sure if the water is capable of entering through that.

Also, is it possible that the water entered through the shutter button? I've used it to take underwater shots and if I recall correctly, the personnel at the store told me that it is okay to do press that button underwater but not the power and the volume buttons (which I haven't pressed 'cause I have this Gravity Screen app that uses proximity sensor for turning the screen on).
[Sony Xperia ZR] Bialynia:
I've used all the buttons underwater, never had an issue. I think maybe this is similar to the fault some Z phones have with water getting under the screen. I would get it replaced, it's under warranty.
[Sony Xperia ZR] guianne13:
Thanks Bialynia. I hope that they would include this under warranty for I have seen a lot of complaints regarding other users unable to get warranty from Sony. I'll be going to the Sony shop where I brought my device this weekend to check this.
[Sony Xperia ZR] ronaldbeti:
I had experienced all of the listed problems. Obviously u have a faulty device just like mine before. Mine already replaced after I sent it to service center.
[Sony Xperia ZR] guianne13:
Thanks ronaldbeti. I hope that the service center here would also take this and change my phone. If not, hell would break lose. :eek:

[Windows RT General] StarLog:
When I download an app from the store, it places a tile on the Metro.

So, then I launch the app, in this case it was an RDP app.

I have another bigger screen, and would like to move the app to that screen, I do not know how.

With the windows mstsc, I can minimize the window, and drag to the other monitor.
[Windows RT General] GoodDayToDie:
Grab at (or swipe from) the top of the window, drag downward just a little (the app will shrink to a window that follows your mouse or finger), and then drag it onto the other monitor. I think that works on 8.0, though I haven't actually tried. There's also a keyboard shortcut to send apps between monitors (aside from the Win7 standby of pressing Win+<left arrow or right arrow> a few times) but I don't know what it is and am not sure if it works with Metro.

Generally speaking, I recommend using mstsc. So far as I can tell, there's no actual advantage to the store app. It's nice enough, as Metro apps go, but that's not saying much.
[Windows RT General] StarLog:
it worked, thanks

Hello, I have an issue with the stock weather widget (accuweather) not updating automatically. I have to actually click on it and open it up for the information to update even though the refresh time is set to 1 hour. I tried rebooting, removing and re-adding widget. My Ace 2 has JB XXMF1 stock rom and rooted. I removed some of the bloatware (but not accuweather). Anyone know how to fix this?
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vintot13:
i know the problem it needs both internet and gps to actually refresh the current weather on your current location.. so make sure to open the settings to enable location acces in the settings on the phone
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bomberb17:
I don't think the widget needs GPS to refresh. My location settings has all location access enabled besides GPS (which I don't get indoors anyway). After all, it refreshes when I click the widget and open up the information (weekly temperatures etc)
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vintot13:
no it needs it.. it seems the new widegt mod of accuweather needs both wifi and gps.. i face the same problem but when i turn on gps and wifi it worked like a charm..
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bomberb17:
Can someone else confirm that it actually needs GPS? It doesn't make sense to me. The widget was working fine in gb. I think that i removed a system service or something that the widget needs..

My gps is always on, but I did notice the widget didn't properly auto-update on MF1.

Am on MG2 now tho and it's working fine :) it updates hourly for me, and manually updating in between will not reset this counter.

Just to make sure tho, i've turned off gps...

And that has no influence on the updating process either

I use it cause i think it's ace!

I noticed it stopped auto-updating for me earlier, but then i've deleted app data of weather widget, weather widget main and weather demon and it started working again.

Only downside to this tho is that u need to re-add all your saved locations (well and settings, but that's not much work ;))
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AarSyl:
For some strange reason, my phone doesn't want to adjust the brightness of the display using widgets/sliders anymore, unless I access the Display Settings itself.

This is very strange, because there is nothing new that I've added, and nothing that I've removed. It began doing this randomly, and now, I'm only allowed to adjust the brightness the ugh multiple methods for a short period of time after a fresh flash. I noticed this while using MX Player the other day. I've been using MX since I've gotten this phone, and I know that it isn't the problem.

I'm sure it's not the kernel, either, for it is the same kernel for a long time (Arc Reactor 0.41). Yes, I know that thicklizard has a new kernel available which Sharky has baked into his rom, but still the same result.

Has anyone else experienced anything like this?
