Need Help Regarding New Replaced Z1 With Yellowish Hue Problem

Hi Guys ,

firstly i glad this thread is still in helpful working condition :fingers-crossed:

i again opened this thread after almost 11 months

i bought Z1 on 30 spet 2013

Serial no. BH904XXXX

Service Center

PARSHWA SERVICES

ALKAPURI,VADODARA,GUJARAT 390005

and warranty is going to end in this 30 spet so i went to service center at 16 spet 2014

with hope of they will replace my phone

basically my Z1 having not any major problem

no yellow hue

no vibrator problem

only it having some minor problem

like heating

and secondary microphone was not working

also it have dents on sides as of my mishandling due to use

also USB slide flap was broken

so i went in service center with this probs they took phone

and at 25 sept they call me for receiving phone

i goes to service center and person just opened new box of Z1

he gave m to check it

at first observation i found that

power on button was too much hard to place and some how less responsible

so i talked to service center head he told me that

this can be due to freshly opened box as it will getting used you will get fine operation

i somehow agree with it and he gave my old phone more side by side comparing

i check new phone serial no.

it was BH90Z something i really forget sorry for that

then i checked mice it was working more accurately then my previous Z1

so i was happy then i checked display

and here is come the problem

"the display of replaced model was Yellowish comparing to my OLD Z1 "

so again i went of the head and i told him this problem i was not

ready accept it as problem

so i gave him both of phones to side by side comparison he still told me that

software upgrade will make fix

i told that this is manufacturing problem or hardware problem for sure

i aware of yellowish hue problem on some Z1

so he told me sir, i will forward you problem to company

and will get back to you within 3 days

and returned me

service job sheet back

so what you guys will suggest me to do ?

accept that yellowish display screen new phone or take back my old Z1 (mic prob , usb flap lost and dents )

i think they will not gonna give me another replacement for sure

still me waiting for call from service center

---------- Post added at 12:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:49 PM ----------

Also can some one will give me information

about batch ?

i tried http://www.numberingplans.com/ IMEI no. analysis for my old Z1 below are information no yellowish problem

Information on IMEI 35809405118xxxx

Type Allocation Holder	Sony

Mobile Equipment Type	Sony L39h / C6902 Xperia Z1

GSM Implementation Phase	2/2+

IMEI Validity Assessment

>|<

Very likely

Information on range assignment

Est. Date of Range Issuance	Around Q4 2012

Reporting Body	British Approvals Board of Telecommunications (BABT)

Primary Market	Europe

Legal Basis for Allocation	EU R&TTE Directive

how many batch has been manufactured till the date ?

and which batch should i look for ?

and how identify batch from IMEI no. or Serial No. ?

Note : i bought my Z1 from ebay @41K
[Xperia Z1 General] AnrgKrshn:
I would suggest you keep the new phone and adjust the display with white balance. A broken flap and mic not working, along with over heating is pretty major, and I'm guessing yellow hue can be corrected by white balance.
[Xperia Z1 General] xyagnesh.davex:
ya i agree with that

bit i can't force for sony give good phone without yellowish problem ?

meanwhile during service menu test in new Z1

i found that Accelerometer test's background image of desk was looking over saturated on NEW Z1 display and

on my left hand OLD Z1 display was looking more nature color

sorry that was my bad that i did not took any pics from my new REDMI 1S
[Xperia Z1 General] AnrgKrshn:
I guess you can convince them, but the sad truth about Sony is that it will always be a display lottery. And I don't think they will cater to our requests of a perfect phone. You're welcome to try, but he will give you a new phone, that's all, which will depend on your luck.

Cause he can't sit and keep unboxing new phones to give away for free till you find the perfect phone, lol
[Xperia Z1 General] xyagnesh.davex:
Exactly !!!

but at my next attempt i will try convince them to use my OLD Z1's display on replaced Z1

and can please tell me how to identify batch of phone ?

i added some info on my first post
[Xperia Z1 General] AnrgKrshn:
I'm not sure that will work, cause the reason he's replacing the phone is cause India is not equipped to perform repairs on the Z1. That's why they just replace the phone, but you can try
[Xperia Z1 General] MohammedFurqaan:
Got a replacement!

Hello guys... Sony replaced my 14w25 with 14w30... Although my original and first replacement units were black, they offered me a White unit this time and I did accept it hoping not to face any similar issues this time again!

---------- Post added at 08:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:37 PM ----------

The displays of all the electronic gadgets differ from unit to unit... You just cant hope of getting the same experience... In my opinion you should accept that new unit and adjust the screen colors ! If the screen is too yellowish, then you must consider a different unit!
[Xperia Z1 General] xyagnesh.davex:
the white color on screen was not too yellowish it was just dull comparing to my OLD Z1

u still waiting for replacement ?

does any 1 have idea which model have good quality screen white black or purple ?

and what is 14w25 with 14w30 ? where is it printed ?
[Xperia Z1 General] AnrgKrshn:
My white is perfect.

Hi Guys,

I own a Xperia Z1 (Still in warranty).

My phone some times gets very hot playing candy crush saga, is this normal?

How do I know if its getting heated upto acceptable levels, is there any test regarding that, Please guide me here, if ifs a faulty one, will I get a replacement?

Thanks.
[Xperia Z1 General] vignesh207:
It's quite normal to become warm, especially if you have a case put on. Install some application like CPU-Z and check the temperature after playing for sometime. Nothing to be worried about as long as it stays around 40C..

Already got a replacement for a replacement :P

I already got my replaced unit replaced because of the Vibration issue! the 25 and 30 after 14w are the weeks in which your unit was manufactured! You get know it by swapping out the information card lodged above the sim tray!
[Xperia Z1 General] Aniruddha10:
Hello everyone,

I'm thinking about buying the Xperia Z1.

Do you think it's safe to buy it from Ebay? It's considerably cheaper than any other online store.

It's going to be my first time buying with Ebay and have had no experience with them whatsoever.

So just wanted to clarify.

And another thing, how is the battery life of the phone? According to Gsmarena and Phonearena it's above average.

Just wanted to know from the users. I know it will vary from person to person depending on their usage.

Just curious about your individual experience.

Thank you
[Xperia Z1 General] vignesh207:
It's better if you contact the seller and confirm if it's manufacturer warranty or seller warranty. But still, ebay is a risk. And things can go either way.

My personal experience, the phone has been doing great. Camera is better than other phones in this range and I usually get to 1 - 1.5 days of battery with average usage. Screen in time with auto brightness, I get solid 5 - 6 hours.

[Xperia Z1 General] livelyyoungman:
Why don't you try Z2?

Anyways it is cheaper than when time back.
[Xperia Z1 General] Aniruddha10:
Thanks. I'll contact the seller before if I buy on Ebay.

And the battery life seems pretty decennt. Thanks

Oh, I'd love to get the Z2 but it's atleast INR 10,000 more expensive than the Z1... :/
[Xperia Z1 General] livelyyoungman:
Yeah. May be wait for sometime. You should be thrown open to online offers. Z3 is available and hence there should be more price drop very soon.
[Xperia Z1 General] Aniruddha10:
I am, I check every single day for a price change for a variety of xperia phones :D

I'm hoping there will be a price drop soon.. :fingers-crossed:

I have no problems. But I assume you're running a stock based ROM, which I haven't even considered doing since Sony fixed the camera issue on unlocked bootloaders.

Now my wifi's running awesome in ofc. Just ran it for the FIRST time in mumbai airport just 2 days back. Now after coming back from hometown, I again tried in my ofc today & suddenly it's working awesome. [emoji1] [emoji1] [emoji1] Ryt now tapatalking from my ofc wifi only. :) :) :)

Wonder wht this issue is called?? :( But, airport net was insanely fast like 2-3 mbps while my ofc wifi is slower at 200-220 kbps. Maybe the handset needed a fast, sudden dose of hi-speed wifi before waking up!! Lol.. [emoji1] [emoji1] [emoji1] [emoji1] [emoji1] [emoji1] [emoji1] [emoji1]

guys need help !!!!!!!! my phone is auto turning off due to high temperature.

Kindly let me a solution
[Xperia Z1 General] livelyyoungman:
Try a soft reset from settings menu. But before that ensure you backup all items from your phone like contacts, messages etc. If still an issue try flashing the new firmware. Still an issue visit service center.
[Xperia Z1 General] niks20:
Bro tried everything but still the problem persists.

It was working fine till yesterday when the problem arised.

Today I heard a weird squeeze sound after my phone vibrate. Very annoying when I type something with key press vibration ON. I think it is coming from top half of phone. Is this something serious or just normal?
[Xperia Z1 General] vignesh207:
I think you are having a vibrator issue. Get it checked from service center if possible.

Guys today I had a weird thing happening, I connected my phone in aux to my car and was listening music for almost 2 hours, but when I saw phone after that the battery dropped from 90% to 35%. I feel. It's too high drain for just listening to music. Pls tell me your suggestions.

Btw thus does not happen when listening in headphones.

Sent from my Xperia Z1, stock 4.4.4
[Xperia Z1 General] ron76426:
I think z1 has some problem when connected to aux coz my touch gets crazy, disabled and starts acting on its own
[Xperia Z1 General] psgarcha92:
Guys,

For the touch getting crazy when your phone is connected to aux, i will suggest getting your wiring checked. Most of the times, crazy things will happen, like screen flicker, banding on screen, touch getting crazy, because of interference (electronic noise). Use a Chinese charger with poor implementation (lower costs because most do not contain noise suppression electronics in them) and you might experience these. Same *might* be said for battery drain that was seen, but that will occur in case of shorts at the auxiliary cable.

Get your systems checked!! And sometimes, infact most times, if you have a technician who does not have much experience, he wouldnt even know what you are saying the problem is , related to car stereo systems. Try another Aux in and see if u can replicate the issues. If you can replicate these on home audio systems, problem is with the phone

Regards

EDIT: the aux in of a system (properly designed system) should behave as a headphone. Ideally that is the case, but as mentioned before noise messes this up. headphones dont ususally have circuitry inside them besides the speaker which makes them less susceptible to noise/interference conditions. Your car however contains electrical systems besides the audio one, hence it is more likely to throw problems your way.

If not, how are you updating, using PCC or Flashtool, now that SUS doesn't work anymore.?

And could you please provide a changelog.?

You have to use PCC no OTA. For changing, I searched on Sony firmware update page, but it's still showing .108. :confused:

You loose the DRM keys on unlocking the bootloader. Rooting your phone does not erase the DRM keys! Also there is a way to backup and restore the DRM keys after unlocking the bootloader... See the thread with Unlocking the bootloader!

Hey guys! I heard it's possible to root the Xperia Z1 without unlocking the bootloader. This way, we can back up the TA partition and restore after unlocking the bootloader to keep the camera intact.

Have any of you done this?

Hi guys,

I have a question. IF i want to come back from AOSP to stock and if i flash android 4.3 (i couldnt find FTF for .157 IN) , will i have to get the notification to upgrade ? also after flashing FTF, how do i restore the TA partition ?? do i need root again to restore ??
[Xperia Z1 General] darsh11192:
You need to find generic ftf and u can search for. 108 generic ftf... This will ask you to upgrade to. 157 use Sony companion from pc.. You will directly get update of. 157...
[Xperia Z1 General] Gladwin_Prince:
Yeah, What you said is true. I have done it already. You could Backup your DRM keys and Restore whenever it's necessary after Relocking.... but you can't restore it in unlocked bootloader...

Which means it's, Unlocked Bootloader Vs DRM keys (You have to choose between anyone of this).

Once you Backup, you will have your DRM keys as a backup file. But after Unlocking your bootloader, you lose the DRM keys in your phone... If you Restore the Backup in the Unlocked Bootloader, The Bootloader is somehow (don't know how) relocked automatically or atleast the phone thinks it is locked.... So, it doesn't allow you to flash a Custom Kernel.....

I have a previous Experience with it.....

So, better be careful with restoring the TA Backup, only Restore your Backup after Relocking your Phone with the stock firmware flashed in it.......
