[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bearusa:
Its perfectly normal.. There's no fans inside to keep the CPU cooled.. If it gets excessively hot to the touch just turn it off for five minutes.. Also I use setcpu and have my CPU max 1400. Which helps. And remember the more intense the CPU load is the more its working the hotter it will get.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AndroidSlave:
Thanks for the helpful responses.

For anyone viewing this I was attempting to consolidate my 5 hours of reading into a nutshell.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Addiso:
Yes me7 is so far not vulnerable for romming but safestrap is a option soon to be for all me7 users. Big mistake if you wanted a bootloader workaround like loki to have custom recovery. I mean we can't say to claim the device defective as that can be seen as warranty fraud but your actions..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AndroidSlave:
Thanks for the response. So then nothing can be flashed via Odin aside from a pure stock ME7 ROM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hexitnow:
Yep thats all that can be flashed in odin. On the s3 you could flash custom recovery via odin but that required an unlocked bootloader.

Hit thanks if I helped you out. Doing a little bit of reading goes a long way. Sent via tapatalk.

I currently have a 32gig card in my Note 2.

I bought a 64gig card to replace it.

I can't get it to mount. I have taken it to windows and formatted it and still nothing.

I can take in/out my 32gig just fine.

Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kimdoocheol:
do you have recovery like twrp?

try reformatting it in recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ryanvan9:
Great idea...I will try that.

[Defy General] pjgowtham:
So long time ago my defy got bricked while flashing..cos defy sipped all the juice and it got empty while flashing. I gave it for service no one could repair it.

Now I got a defy where only mother board works for approximately 13$ . Changed the motherboard , buttons, display and the back half myself and revived my defy.

Now I'm back to play with my defy even though I have xperia z, I simply love my defy cos

"Phones are meant to be smaller"

I cant text comfortably with such a big screen in my xperia z.

Defy is a great device. I realize "old is gold"
[Defy General] pjgowtham:
Btw I'm well versed with the defy hardware. Any hardware probs, you can contact me thru xda or email me at pjgowtham@Gmail.com
[Defy General] popcorn1122:
When u changed yr motherboard, your imei got changed too?
[Defy General] cyrusct82:
Yes is changing too.
[Defy General] popcorn1122:
Then it is dangerous ... hope you understand that...
[Defy General] cyrusct82:
Why?

I've changed 4 mainboards by the service. Nothing dangerous happens.
[Defy General] pjgowtham:
Yes it changed.
[Defy General] popcorn1122:
if some illegal thing was done on that handset motherboard , and then that imei u purchased, then u replace motherboard, you would be in the radar... that way i am saying it is risky
[Defy General] jh20:
but that's like saying no one should ever buy or use secondhand goods since you don't know what the previous owners had used it for any illegal activities? for examples, the secondhand car you bought could have been used for robberies, weapons used for murders, etc?
[Defy General] popcorn1122:
Its a kind of risk... u can preserve the ebay purchase paper for safety thats the only way out...
[Defy General] pjgowtham:
Until the phone works I'm very happy guyzzzz..
[Defy General] leemii:
so true buddy i am either in love with my defy it's simply the best.
[Defy General] jh20:
+1. how many smartphones out there besides motorola have multi-colour LED letting you know, without turning on the screen, if you have missed calls or messages etc? none to my knowledge anyway :)

and on top of that, water resist, dust proof, scratch resistance guerilla glass screen, and just the right size for a phone.....love it......not changing it for a long time yet.......unless it dies :(
[Defy General] andy-q:
You are absolutely right with old is gold.

I was searching for an alternative quit for some time but all other ip67 phones are either almost with the same cpu and mem or have a display like an half laptop....

And now with cm10.2 the defy rocks and is fast!

one more thing the storage capacity is 16G, NOT the 32 gigs which is pity :(

however, it comes with free small LG photo printer. I really dont know how needed it is

I pre ordered mine with CPW on the Vodafone plan. Three,02 and vodafone will be stocking them. I also know Phones4U will be selling them soon.

---------- Post added at 10:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:45 AM ----------

Just a gimmick really especially with the price of paper for the machine but its free :) ! A 32GB will be available but they are only selling the 16GB first for some reason.
[G2 General] drreality:
I agree.

The problem is that after math you'll end up with 9 usable gigs only which too small relatively to the image sizes you would take, not mentioning the size of the current games and navigation softwares. We'll end up transferring the media to the computer :(
[G2 General] ant78:
Unfortunately your right, i have the HTC One with 16gb and ive been careful with what i install. But cant wait till i get this phone, i rang CPW yesterday to ask about the release date but they still don't have one even though the website says 1st October, on the plus side i think the phones from CPW come unlocked?
[G2 General] drreality:
Yes, their phones are unlocked to my experience , same as phones 4u

Good luck with your order mate

Usually when (GUIDE) is used, it means that you are providing a guide, not requesting one.

You may have more luck using the Apps forum and asking if anyone has found a USB OTG app which works with L9's or some kind of workaround?
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] carloswii5:
The l9 would need the drivers necessary for it which when you install cyanogen mod you get them in the Rom but then you would still need the power source for the external device because since the l9 doesnt "officialy" have otg it can only receive power through the usb port and not send...
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] aloy99:
To interpret that for you, you need to use a powered USB hub to connect your device, and a custom ROM supporting OTG.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ebildude123:
After updating to the latest firmware via OTA, everything crashed.

Every, single, app. Even the system gapps. Only things that worked: Settings, Browser, File Manager

So I factory reset, figuring it would work.

Nope, Now I cannot even complete the setup.

At step 5 I get Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped.

Then it goes back to step 1 of the setup.

I am NOT unlocked which is why i have no freaking idea what to do.

Thanks.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ebildude123:
Fixed it using fastboot.
[Xperia Z1 General] MouseX:
Shame to Sony, same old Sony being cheap and using about 4 panels for display:

JDI type 1 - AH-IPS (this was used for the ZU)

JDI type 2 - VA (Xperia Z/ZL leftovers)

Sharp - VA (Xperia Z/ZL leftovers)

Samsung - S-PLS (Will only be used after all the VA panels are used up)

Sony is using up the remaining inventory from Z/ZL and mixing in some AH-IPS panels.

Once all the VA panels are used up

Sony will only use AH-IPS and S-PLS panels.

This would explain why some prototypes and production units have outstanding displays and some are just like Z/ZL.

That's proof:

1) According to gsm-arena

Contrast 1513:1

Brightness 580 cd/m²

Black level 0.38 cd/m²

This is an IPS panel like on Xperia ZU.

Verdict: Much better screen quality.

2)According to hi-tech.mail.ru

Contrast 620:1

Brightness 488 cd/m²

Verdict: same poor panel as on Xperia Z.

3) According to ixbt.com

Contrast 600:1

Brightness 460 cd/m²

Verdict: poor screen.

Pixel arrangement 100% same as on Xperia Z.

And pixel arrangement on ZU (IPS) for compare:

4) Thanks babylonbwoy for link - French site Les Numeriques tested the Z1 (lab test), they says that the panel is MVA Technology (according to them viewing angle will always be worst than IPS just du to this), and their test shows

Contrast 660:1

Brightness 500 cd/m²

DeltaE 5.5

Remance 13ms

Latence 109ms

XZ1 test http://www.lesnumeriques.com/telepho...6826/test.html

XZ test http://www.lesnumeriques.com/telepho...5135/test.html

So, don't buy first party or go to local store and try screen on hands.
[Xperia Z1 General] ozgadgetguy:
So, any way to tell aside from subjective viewing? Being new to Xperia I haven't seen the other screens.
[Xperia Z1 General] jos_031:
Retail unit comes with good display
[Xperia Z1 General] arwin1993:
How do you know/assume?
[Xperia Z1 General] lee480:
The one who started spreading that the Z1 uses the leftovers panels from the Z and ZL is total bull****.

I can confirm no such thing occurred.

Practically, if you think about it, how Triluminos works is by emitting a blue LED light into this quantum dots of reds and greens.

Conventional LCD screens like the one that canes with the Z have its white LED shine past the RGB panel.

So if that donkey "source" is correct, Sony have to tear open the leftovers, modify the existing panel for it to be compatible for the blue LED.

It's simply not practical, or perhaps, pure stupidity.
[Xperia Z1 General] m3dd0g:
I have both devices XZU and XZ1 both have the same displays. And my Z1 is the first one available.
[Xperia Z1 General] MouseX:
2 tests from 3 confirmed old VA panel. Even pixel arrangement is the same.

Lucky!
[Xperia Z1 General] Sean473:
Whose tests? I don't buy this ****! Hell, I've seen both phones and the Z1's display is way better! Also better viewing angles!!! Just shut up and stop spreading this trolling nonsenical story!

Don't tell me what to do then I will not say where you should go.

As I wrote in first post: "This would explain why some prototypes and production units have outstanding displays and some are just like Z/ZL."

Tests from first post.

No, it has standard IPS pixel arrangement.
[Xperia Z1 General] Morlock O:
I don't think anyone is saying that it is not TFT...

As for me, as long as it looks good and feels good I will buy it, don't care if its TFT, or OLED... btw IPS is also a type of TFT LCD
[Xperia Z1 General] jos_031:
IPS and VA are 2 types of TFT... both are TFT
[Xperia Z1 General] PhoenixMert:
Well I now have my 3rd z1 and tbh I'm pretty sure all the screens are the same. I'd say they all just have bad viewing angles :(
[Xperia Z1 General] Morlock O:
I don't think anyone is claiming that Z1 has good viewing angles... better than Xperia Z yes... but comparing to HTC one, G2 and Galaxy S4? no...

the strength of Z1's display is viewing it dead on... it is the best...
[Xperia Z1 General] Jiyeon90:
It looks like Sony is using VA panels, which has outstanding blacks for a lcd, better than ips, color accuracy is great too, the only downside are the viewing angles which should be somewhere between TN and IPS.

Personally I don't care about viewing angles so it looks like I'm gonna be very satisfied when I get my unit.

[Xperia Z1 General] bucho2004:


Will add to my previous post, I have just Checked 3 different Xperia z ultra displays, and now Iam convinced that the only way the z ultra screen is better, is in its viewing angles. However the brightness of the z1 is higher than the z ultra.

My z1 screen is exactly the same as the Xperia z ultra screens I've seen in everything, except viewing angles.

the z1 viewing angles are no where near as bad as the original z, I cant understand why this is such a big deal to some people, you only very slightly lose contrast when viewed from an angle. Once again not as bad as it was on the original z.

the screen is still perfectly viewable, and head on, the screen is just fantastic in contrast, vibrancy, colour reproduction and sharpness.

Users who have a z1 with warmer whites, don't automatically assume you have some sort of different type of screen fitted. I am sure it's just colour calibration because I had a previous z1 with warmer whites, and I have also seen today, that one of the xperia z ultra also had warmer whites when compared to my current z1. Yet it's colours and viewing angles were just as good as the other z ultras I've seen.

Like I said both screens seem to be exactly the same, however the viewing angles are better on the ultra, but the brightness level is higher on the z1, which makes the screen look even more vibrant at max brightness.

So it's a choice between losing a slight contrast in colour when you decide to view your phone from an angle, but get a brighter more vibrant screen, for outdoor visibility.

APART FROM THAT THE SCREENS ON THE Z1 AND ULTRA ARE THE SAME.
[Xperia Z1 General] thunderising:
I ended up with a Z1 where even the deep RED looks pinkish. Confirmed at Sony Store when I compared by Z1 with the demo unit there. Pretty sure the demo unit has a VA panel
[Xperia Z1 General] nehway0912:
According to this site, it's an MVA panel.

[Xperia Z1 General] n4v1n:
quick question, could the shatter proof film have anything to do with poor screen quality? Sure some of your posts indicate definite hardware faults, but some of the minor imperfections, can they be attributed to the pre installed film?
[Xperia Z1 General] veletron:
Here's a reasonable head-to-head of the Z1 screen against the Z Ultra's screen

Sony can stick decent screens on mobile devices if it wants to!!

[Xperia Z1 General] gm007:
So another crap screen ,and a failure camera.

In the beginning i though i would upgrade to Z1 but now i think i am going with another brand.
[Xperia Z1 General] lee480:
Failure camera? Lol. Dont spill nonsense here.

Crap screen? Definitely in viewing angles.

Absolute greatness when viewed directly.
[Xperia Z1 General] veletron:
I'll give mine a month I guess see if they fix the camera. There is no reason why if they fix the ruddy firmware the camera can't be superb. Currently I would declare the camera 'unusable'.

If it does not get fixed then it goes on ebay and i get myself something else. Hopefully by then there will be a way to carrier-unlock it.

EE wanted £199 for an S4 up front and just £50 for the Z1 up front (on the same 12 month contract). That, and the 'free' Smart Watch that will prob fetch £80 on fleabay is partially why I took a punt on the Z1. By my reckoning, if push comes to shove, and Sony does not bother to fix the issues then I can get say ~£300 for the phone and watch combined, buy an S4 and still be quids in vs going for the S4.

The Z1 was a punt. A punt that I would like to pay off because on the upside the build quality is superb, and the phone extremely fast. I can't help but feel that by releasing a camera-centric phone with an awful camera, they are doing some serious damage to the Xperia brand.

For me the following is what would really make this phone the number one:

- Camera that lives up to expectations - needs to equal/exceed photo quality of comparably priced handsets with similar feature sets (S4, iPhone 5S, LG G2, Note 3 etc)

- Screen that lives up to expectations re viewing angles (something equaling the Z Ultra for instance)

- Make use of that massive bezel below the screen for some capacitive buttons. Preferably 4 of them (menu, back, home & multitasking)

- Bundle the magnetic charger cause its a right pain in the neck pulling the flaps to charge

- make the camera button bigger so it can still be used when the phone is in a flip-case

- preferably have a physical home button so this can be used as an alternative to the fiddly 'power' key (esp when in a case) to turn the phone on. (or shift power button to top)

Unless I see at least the Z1's camera issues fixed then this will be my last Xperia device.

I'll go and hide now before the Sony fanboi's come a hunting - I swear some of them have never used a device from a competing brand!

[Xperia Z1 General] zippy1990:
What is wrong with some people? Who gives a **** about viewing angles anyway? When I use my phone I look at it dead on and not tilted 90 degrees. Now I think that matters the most and it performs as it should, beautiful screen. And before I get this sony fan bull**** in my face, first time I ever bought sony and hardly knew anything about them when it comes to phones.

Sure I agree the camera needs work but other than that, magnificent device.. People who don't have the device, don't go reading things here, it only messes with your head.
[Xperia Z1 General] matheus_sc:
I agreed, camera soon will be better, z1 is a great device, not perfect.
[Xperia Z1 General] zipolly:
I have had my z1 for a few days now and it's going back for two reason's Firstly the viewing angles are very poor and also the camera is very disapointing and sometimes shuts down due to overheating.
[Xperia Z1 General] jonmorris:
I've had the camera shutdown due to heat once too, but that was before I updated the firmware.
[Xperia Z1 General] TheCraig:
Bad viewing angles isn't that bad anyway :D I honestly believe it may be an advantage, your privacy isn't intruded as easily, etc.

Stop whining, no phone is perfect, the camera firmware isn't final and the screen is pretty good apart from the viewing angles, which doesn't bother me, the screen is adequate for what I use it for!
[Xperia Z1 General] gm007:
Sony have always a surprise in new phones lol
[Xperia Z1 General] Dpk1:
Screen is great, viewing angles not so great. If you ask me, video & photo browsing is best on the Z1 screen at present compared to other flagship phones (including note 3 & HTC one). It is very much improved over the XZ screen. Dark videos & photos seem to show much more details on the Z1 for instance. AMOLED screens appear great with respect to viewing angles & black levels but they are very much dimmer (poor sunlight visibility) not to mention yellowish / greenish / pinkish / bluish whites. I know some Z1 users have yellow tint but its not that bad compared to Samsung. HTC & LG have overall good IPS screens but they have their flaws too. So, to each his own!

Camera again is great compared to other flagship smartphones (except lumia 1020). You may call it crappy or not upto the mark for its hardware though (1/2.3" sensor, G lens, F/2.0 aperture etc). But that doesn't make the Z1 camera any inferior to GS4 / Note3 / HTC one / G2. Even with its so called 'non final' camera firmware it is way ahead of the other flagship smartphones imo. You can see some samples I've uploaded here. So, if you hate the Z1 for its camera I'm afraid you won't be happy with others either, unless you are going for the lumia 1020 (which has its own drawbacks in other aspects).

Anyway, having said that, I do believe that many users here must really have issues (maybe faulty camera / screen :confused:), who are complaining. I think the camera can improve a lot with updates (like with XZ), so can the battery backup. Apart from that the Z1 is one hell of a phone :D imo. Sure, the initial batches do have issues, but that happens with all brands especially newly launched flagship phones.
