I recently found dead pixel on my camera viewfinder but its not there when used normally but its there negligibly on pics taken from the camera it was not there few days ago. Can anyone help?
[Sony Xperia ZL] maclancer:
I don't think software can fix a dead pixel, if I was you I will contact Sony to repair or replace the phone
[Sony Xperia ZL] unmaskedfalesh:
Submitted the mobile to care center. The lady told it will take 4 days and i will get replacement but i Am not sure abt the replacement device cant trust those care center people....
[Sony Xperia ZL] maclancer:
Where are u located? Are they directly from Sony?
[Sony Xperia ZL] unmaskedfalesh:
i am located in Bangalore,India and the care center is not from Sony they are authorised service center and they told my cell will b sent to main sony center and it will take min 4 days. lets hope for the best
[Sony Xperia ZL] maclancer:
Oh, I thought u was in the US, I would like to know how the service is here. This is my first Sony phone.
[Sony Xperia ZL] coolrevi:
If it Malleshwaram center. they are bit careless but i got my headset replacement promptly.
[Sony Xperia ZL] unmaskedfalesh:
its Indiranagar Center and they told they will send the cell to Main Sony Center...n that will take 4 days..
[Sony Xperia ZL] coolrevi:
Hope for the best and please share your experience. :)
[Sony Xperia ZL] unmaskedfalesh:

[Sony Xperia ZL] unmaskedfalesh:
yes today i collected the replacement handset...few hours ago
[Sony Xperia ZL] coolrevi:
Almost a week!! Too bad.. I want my zl to be repaired or replaced this Mic problem is bugging me.. Will they give any phone to use till it's replaced??
[Sony Xperia ZL] unmaskedfalesh:
they had to send my phone to delhi and public holidays were in middle so it took long and generally for replacement it takes a week.

No they dont give any phone to use during that period.
[Sony Xperia ZL] maclancer:
Maybe in India is like that, wondering if in the US is more faster.
[Sony Xperia ZL] coolrevi:
One last question.. It's the replaced phone brand new,Sealed, or does it look like refurbished.. Hatred many people say that Sony replaces with the refurbished one
[Sony Xperia ZL] unmaskedfalesh:
It is brand new phone not the refurbished one..

How many times did your GS4 fall to the ground?:)

Mine just once down the side of my car's seat:)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0mega007:
3 times at aproximately 1 feet height, but inside a leather pouch with also a otterbox commuter, so no worries. :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andys93:
In your opinion is it a fragile phone or a solid one? I mean would it easily bream with a tpu case surrounding it?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Nothing is solid when falling on concrete or landing on a corner from a certain height.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andys93:

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LegendJo:
3 times.. about 1.5 Meters each.. Nothing happened, just small scratches on the back.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0mega007:
All modern phones with big screen are fragile to me, even in an otterbox, but they are the best for me, so i get the commuter.

My old S3 was only dropped once outside the leather pouch with an commuter, at about 2 feet and nothing happened, but even with the best case, phones with big screen can break.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exxi:
quite a few times actually. I think about 4 times. One time from 2 meters and it's still kind of working, I am having random shut offs but this came much after the fall so I don't think its related. Besides I had a snap on cover on. Not that it protects against shock damage but it keeps the frame intact.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GR13V3R:
Never dropped and never will!

hopefully :D
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pifsworld:
Had my s4 between my legs on car seat forgot it was there and when I got out phone fell to floor with just a s-view case on it all happened in slow motion but it survived with a few scratches on the side bezel and you have to look for the scratches to see them but I know they are there, I wouldn't mind but its the first time I've left the house without my pouch(gutted) but you can get a new rear housing for £15 if I need or if it bugs me enough...lesson? dont leave home even if its for 5mins without protection.??

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rl421403:
1 time.

Nearly a month ago, I dropped my phone from ~2 feet when I was picking up my kid daughter. My phone was in my shirt top pocket and I did not had any case or cover on it, although I had a screen protector.

Phone fell off on screen flat on ground (not on corners), and there was a loud sound when it hit the floor. I was completely sure, the screen is gone because I was following this topic on xda about S4 screen and how easily it was broken for some guys.

But to my surprise, nothing happened. No crack or scratches on screen or on phone. Although the fall made some holes in screen protector. Apart from that it was OK.

So the phone is pretty tough but there are some cases where screen was broken easily and that could be caused by faulty units.

So my advice is always buy one time screen replacement service along with phone. It's nearly $10 here, or get a insurance (at least for first year) which typically will cost same but cover lot more then just screen damage.

[Sony Xperia L] tan88:
Hello dear members,

This is my first post on this forum and here is the story. The audio output of xperia l through headphones is a bit low for my liking, yesterday I was talking to one of my friends on phone and accidentally I started the music and surprisingly the nusic output was better and louder than normal, obviously I thought that it may be a mistake but no..i tried again and again also to be precise I turned off the mic on other side but the story remains the same, music is more louder during calls than normal. Please tell me if this is normal or not and if possible than how can I permanently get the music output that I am getting during the calls.

Thank You

pardon English
[Sony Xperia L] aniketroxx:

[Sony Xperia L] damian01211:
Yes, but far as I remember it only pops up once.
[Sony Xperia L] tan88:
Is dere any way to remove that limiter?

I have done java phones modding, music output was enhanced by changing acoustic files.

And yes the pop up appeared only once.

[HTC Amaze 4G] CaffeineGiant:
Asit says in the title.This constant change between the two network types causes data to be slow and timeout quite a lot as well as drain battery. Even watching low quality youtube videos is impossible because of the switching. I'm on the current CM10.1 build right now. Is there anyway I can just stick to one network type instead of it switching every second? I've tried going into phone information and set it to gsm only, wcdma preferred, etc. But it also just goes back to gsm auto (prl). And finally the weird thing is that there will be moments of time where data can be consistent (for like 5 minutes) and then it'll revert back to being slow.

Ive read in older posts (early 2012) that going to build.prop and changing ro.ril.hsxpa or somethinf like that helps. I can't find that so I'm wondering if theres another way to keep it at UMTS or HSDPA and NOT have it switch.

I'm on the Wind Mobile Network right now with baseband 1.15 if that helps. (I'm also a noob who can just flash stuff and new to this phone so go essy on me ^_^)
[HTC Amaze 4G] masondoctorjt:
They are the same network. The phone just switches from hsdpa to umts when data is not in use to save battery. But hsdpa+ is just a higher speed version of umts, just like edge is a higher speed form of gprs. So That is not what is causing the time outs. It's probably just had network where you are. Mine switches between umts and hsdpa+ all the time, and my connection never times out.
[HTC Amaze 4G] CaffeineGiant:
Yes I know they're supposed to switch but that's the thing; even in standby it keeps switching constantly almost every other second causing battery drain. And the reasn why I'd prefer just hsdpa is that data is consistent on it whereas umts just times out on me almost everytime or rather when the two switch. Is this just a network issue?
[HTC Amaze 4G] masondoctorjt:
I think it is just a network issue, as with tmobile as soon as the phone calls for data, it goes to hspa and there is not lag when it switches.
[HTC Amaze 4G] CaffeineGiant:
I tried everything I can and data is still inconsistent. I'll try testing out different baseband versions to see if that does something but unfortunately, it could be a hardware issue with the radio :/ Thanks for the help.
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Hey CaffeineGiant, did you try the latest OTA radio.zip? Someone named jordin posted it in a bunch of threads a while back. If you rename it to PH85IMG it could flash in bootloader and help!
[HTC Amaze 4G] CaffeineGiant:
Are you talking about the 1.15 version, cuz I've already done that and the problem persists.

Quick question, I've opened up BetterBatteryStats and over a course of 7 1/2 hours idle, under partial wakelocks, google checkin service has had 967 counts, alarm manager 723 and a couple days ago RILJ and sdio dmux were up there. The difference between then and now is that I've had wifi. Is that anyway related? I don't wanna give up hope on this phone because I like it despite its poor battery life and this radio :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
I think you should download Greenify and hibernate your apps. That saves tons of battery. :) It looks like you're getting wakelocks which are causing the drain.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tanner4137:
Hello,

I'm having a major problem. Long story short, I accidentally installed a 4.2 bootloader ROM on a 4.1 bootloader device. Long story short, I'm still able to boot into recovery, but if I try to boot into system, it goes through the boot animation roughly 20 seconds, then reboots. I'm now trying to sideload the zip, named pa.zip, but I get this issue

I have gotten the correct adb files and installed Asus Sync, which from what I understand installs the drivers. I've noticed that if I do "adb devices" the list of devices is blank. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Buster99:
do you want to stay on 4.1 bootloader?

have you tried to flash stock through fastboot?

cheers

-Buster
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tanner4137:
My bootloader version is 10.4.2.18, and no, I'd rather update to the new bootloader so I don't have to deal with more issues. What do you mean by flashing stock? I do not have any backups, and the only ROM I have on my Internal SD is Hydro 8 (for 4.2 bootloader.) What are my options? I'm downloading the new firmware, do I just flash it through recovery?

*edit*

Also, I installed a newer version recovery just to make sure Fastboot recognized my device. Instead of TWRP, I installed CWM 6.0.2.3
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Buster99:
Stock rom = Asus Android Rom (you can find it here: http://www.asus.com/Tablets_Mobile/ASUS_Transformer_Pad_TF300T/#support_Download_32 just make sure you select: "Version US_V10.6.1.27.1" ) since you're from Texas i presume you have an US device.

you can follow my steps in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2179759 to revert back to stock (most up do date version) then start over so to speak and flash TWRP/CWM and then continue to flash your preferred rom.

i had to do it since my CM update bricked my device and others were successfull too, so probably you too.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tanner4137:
So I found this--

It says something about putting a paper clip down the SD card slot. Are you talking about the dock's sd slot?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Buster99:
lol NO! :)

check where your sdcard slot on your device is - about 2-3cm down there is a small hole - thats the reset button. you need a paperclip or needle to push it (not to hard and you have prolly try to hit it a couple of times to get the feel (for me it still is hit and miss :D )

by the way - undock your device and when you flash make sure you use the original cable and best Win XP- Win7. Win8 is too flaky when it comes to adb & fastboot or use Linux :) and check in your device manager (for Win) that Win recognizes the device properly.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tanner4137:
I may just be delusional from freaking out about my device, but I didn't think there is an SD slot on the actual 300T tablet?

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tanner4137:
Perfect. It just flashing the blob! I assume I reboot now?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Buster99:
just follow the steps. but if you see the progress bar on your tab full and fastboot write is completed and took longer than 10 secs :) you can "fastboot reboot" to boot into stock
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tanner4137:
This worked!!! :victory::D:victory::D:victory: I am so happy right now! I cannot believe I ended up fixing it! Thank you so, so, so, so, much! :good:

good for you i'm sitting on my desk doing data recovery, huh? :highfive::D

now you can go and flash your custom recovery and then your custom rom. enjoy

[HTC Sensation] TheLnxDrd:
I'm using ViperS 3.1.1 and my battery life sucks...

Example. yesterday, i had 90% of battery left, but i googled one picture and downloaded it (small file) and then i had 20% left. :P

I don't really surf with my phone, but i listen music A LOT! and it sucks when my battery is always low.

I Don't have animations enabled, no Bluetooth, no wifi, no 3G...

So any tips?
[HTC Sensation] astar26:
I have to say one thing - WOW. People actually report good battery life with that kernel.

Here's a list of things that affect battery life (by the order I remember them, not by impact):

Screen Brightness

CPU speed and governor

Running apps (wakelocks, which lock the device so it will not sleep)

Communication (network, WiFi, BT etc.)

Also, you can delete battery stats from recovery, and there are apps to track battery usage (and the built-in tool in settings).

Which reminds me: Can you post your battery usage from the settings?

Also, your battery could be dead, but let's check everything else first.
[HTC Sensation] dasfreak:
switch to 2G only

install Greenify, to set apps to hibernate
[HTC Sensation] Holliwoodc01:
I know this may not be the ideal tip but when my phone started doing that I went on amazon a bought an Anker battery. I calibrated it first before normal use as it supposed to have more of a charge and can read wrong on ur battery stats if u dont. I am a heavy user on my phone and it has made a huge difference. I've had the battery for a year and its still running strong.
[HTC Sensation] raz0rf1sh:
How old is your battery? Stock battery?

Sounds like your battery is on it's way out, losing almost all of your charge on downloading one image is ridiculous lol.

Get a genuine Anker 1900.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Nanafy:
Hello, I recently found a phone on Kajiji because I am leaving soon and needed it since my old one broke. Usualy I order my phones off Hi-moible. He told me it was unlocked so I assumed it was the international version,. I ended up with a 1337m, I am dissapointed since alot of the roms are only for that model. I was wondering as to why this is the case arent both phones identical in terms of hardware? How do you convert one to the other ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Monkz:
That would be the Canadian Model. I believe if its unlocked it should still work, and the international Model is the one that actually has the least customization in terms of ROMS i believe mostly because of the Exynos processor. The I337M is the Snapdragon model which is the same Hardware as the US models. I use an I337M and load AT&T and T-Mobile roms all the time. Just make sure you choose T-Mobile Kernels for your device if using custom ROMS that arent T-Mobile based.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
Root is all you need, and it supports the governers/schedulers that are built-in the stock kernel, if you want others you will need unlocked BL.

IMO there no big difference between governers, and the default ones are chosen are sufficient.
