[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seabottom:
First, I dunno if this is the correct subforum since I'm not allowed to post in a modding forum.

The standard clock widget that comes preloaded on the Xperia Z is great, except that it has got too thin text; I can't see the clock in the mornings and it's causing me massive eyestrain to concentrate.

I've tried SEVERAL other clock widgets but either they're not compatible with an easy-to-set-up alarm, takes too much space, or is displaying other stuff than the clock it self + stupid adds.

So what I'm asking here is someone who knows how to edit this widget to have a bold font where it's easy to see the time in the mornings.

It's the specific clock displayed in all xperia Z photos:

I assume, that once the widget has been located as an .apk file it will be super easy to make a bolder font. If no one wants to make this for me, I can do it my self given that I get an explanation.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0p3r4t0r:
sorry but i think that needs developing and a developer will not programm a clock only for you unless you will pay him ;)

Try other clock Apps or try a custom rom (but this needs more work)

Sorry dude ;)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seabottom:
I don't want a new widget, I just want the standard pre-loaded widget to have a bold font instead of the current one.

I know that in the installed apps list, this widget is just called "clock", but it's impossible to find this widget as a download anywhere. That's why I figured some guys here could go into the root or something and find the widget, change the font and be done with it.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YudiA1:
Maybe you want try this apk. Got from forum long time ago but forgot in where..:D

You can modify as you want. Share widget pic..

and apk if you wanna try..:)

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SWFlyerUK:
Hi folks,

Had this device no.more than a few.hours. Wow, what a device, absolutely amazing.

Anyway - issues, SOD's have been horrendous but now I've git something els.

The device is on, but the screen is just black. I can touch it though which is strange but not long prior to this I adjusted the brightness so to put it simply, it's almost like the screen brightness is so far down, it's just black.

I could try a.factory reset with PC Companion but I'm not at home.

Any ideas that you might be able to suggest
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Sebring5:
Hit the reset button. You still need to repair with PC companion when you get home to remedy SOD.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SWFlyerUK:
Hit the reset button and issue is still the same when.I turn.it.on. Does reset restart the phone or turn.it.off?

Really hope Pc Companion works.

Sorry about the poor grammar. On a backup phone.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Sebring5:
It turns it off. You can run PC companion without turning it back on.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
One two simple questions. What model do you have? (C6802?), and where did you get it?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SWFlyerUK:
Hi folks, good news - just got home from work after trying all evening to reset the device with a pen.

Took one final look at the reset button with a paper clip, this time I really wedged it in and by lord, the phone turned off this time, turned it on and it works!

Looks like it was a SOD, thank God for that. Thought it was a screen defect.

For reference, model is the C6833 bought from Carphone Warehouse, UK.

Thanks guys, it does show that going over the basics like the reset button are almost always the answer. I do live in fear about this device now though.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ij0rgei:
the SOD happened to me for the first time today, and I also have a c6833. freaked out for a bit but remembered the reset button and it was all good. I did notice that while my screen wouldnt turn on, it was draining my battery pretty bad. when i checked my battery usage, i had a huge drop off. 5 minutes zapped 20% of my battery!! Did anybody ever figure out if this was a software or hardware issue?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
SOD's are a software issue. What firmware version are you guys on?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bASKOU:
Software issue than can be fixe by un-tickin "adapt to lighting condition" and keep "optimized backlight" ticked and keep it like that untill sony finally fix this bug.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SWFlyerUK:
.510 buddy - not had any firmware update notifications either.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Hmm.. I'm also running 510, and I haven't had any Sod's or any other bugs. I have the C6833.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SWFlyerUK:
Going by other threads, I had Optimized Backlight switched off with with Adapt To Lighting Conditions switched on. Could be the cause, had another bad SOD this morning so will try those settings reversed.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bASKOU:
This is the cause. From stock Optimized backlight is on and adapt is off. People not experiencing SOD are people who didn't change those settings. I didn't experience before I tried changing it. No I have optimized backlight on and adapt off and no SOD.

---------- Post added at 05:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:53 PM ----------

Both C6833 and C6802 have the same issue. Try to turn on "adapt to lightening condition" and Un-tick "Optimized backlight" no need to restart, SOD will come soon after.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Yup, I'm fully aware of this and I'm not planning on deactivating it until Sony has gotten their **** together :p
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jewelkobayashi:
I decided to reply to let u guys know...

For me, if it isn't broken, don't fix it is my style, and

from the beginning I have had no SOD so I never messed with settings under display section

. This changed very recently when i installed Utorrent.

Since I have never changed settings in here, I expected it to be default, but was puzzled to see that it is different from what people are reporting as default setting.

My default seems that ''adapt to lighting conditions'' under brightness is ON (ticked), and optimized backlight is off (no tick)

Strange, don't u think?

Anyway, what changed was this.

I have luckily never experienced SOD in the way other users have from the beginning with my C6802 (originally HK, but now VN .532)

I had my unique SOD recently, but I know exactly what the cause is, and I can only replicate it under certain conditions.

I sometimes use UTorrent, and when I am downloading more than 3 files at once and get fast and fat download bandwidth, the phone starts to lag, and become unresponsive, therefore feeling like SOD. But I guess it is not SOD like all others are reporting.

So to clarify, by default, my phone's optimized backlight option seems to be off, and as long as I never use UTorrent, I have no problem.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] xxdroid:
Hi all. All this while i have never experience SOD until today. I was typing msg when suddenly the screen went black. First, i tried to switch on but no avail. Afterwards i used a fork (at the restaurant during SOD) to push the reset button and i can feel a vibration afterwards. But when i tried to switch on again it still wouldnt start and i just randomly press a combinatiom of power & vol + and it vibrate twice and walllaaa, m y zu revived. The question is, i thought the SOD only happen when the optimized backlight is untick? Furthermore isnt it only happen when u try to wake the phone while deep sleep? I own the phone for a month now and this is the first time it had happened. Model c6802 with version. 532.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bASKOU:
Never got SOD because I untick optimized backlight, it make the phone hang for 1/2 minutes when boot. Only get SOD when adapt to lightning conditions is ticked.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] xxdroid:
Ok. Will untick and update should there is any progress. Is there any different in battery usage once we untick it?

it
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bASKOU:
I didn't feel any differences with of without about the battery, the screen drain a lot anyway. But I keep it tick all the time as I always forget to tick it back before reboot the phone. And without it, the colours of the screen look really better. But be careful, if you have adapt to lighting conditions tick and optimized backlight untick you increase the possibility to get SOD.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cold_reading:
Hello!

I bought the Galaxy S4 about two months ago and since then, I always used it with a screen protector and a case. But today, I found that many purple and black spots and smears have formed on the AMOLED. I have never dropped the phone or exposed it to heat. I tried rebooting and activated the LCD test mode, but none of them helped. Is it a hardware issue?

Can anybody tell me what's going on and help me?

Best regards,

cold_reading
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donalgodon:
Definitely hardware. Looks like the AMOLED itself. If you have warranty, I suggest you use it, because that's hardware, not software.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cold_reading:
Hm, thanks for the help, although that certainly isn't good news... I will try to contact Amazon, let's hope they can help me with this problem.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ranger4740:
As there is a large concentration of purple in the corner, I'd suggest that Samsung will try and tell you its been dropped and in that case, I don't think they will cover it under warranty.

I wish you luck!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cold_reading:
Thank you! Now the purple stains have spread all over the screen, making it very hard to read anything on the screen. This seems to be a very odd issue if you ask me...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AvelonTs:
Odd indeed ... usually when a screen is damaged or faulty bars appear pixel burned altered colors and stuff ... if i saw that and didn't know i d tell u that u definetely someone spilled ink on the screen ... those marks are exactly like it ... hopefully they ll repair it ...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rl421403:
I think samsung should change it under warranty because clearly, screen is not broken and still degraded. So it's bad display.

But they might say it's caused by water damage which is not covered under warranty.

Let's hope for the best.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teio:
They do have a way to tell if it's water damage, there is a sticker which turns blue when wet, so if there is no damage to the case, they should change it fine... I have had good luck with Amazon regarding returning faulty items...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cold_reading:
Thank you guys for all the support, I sent it back to Amazon and today I got the mail that they have got the package. Now someone's going to look if this is covered by standard warranty... Let's hope for the best indeed!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zoddex:
Hope they change it for you. As for sure seems the amoled has burned
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwnyu:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] gr4v1ty:
It is really weird.

After a night with my friends at a bar, I remarked the second day that this had happened to my phone. I DO have a case, it did NOT fall and there's no screen protector on. Seems like it's an bubble under the screen! Also, there's no crack on the phone which is really weird.

PS: Being dark outside, I can'T even tell when this happened during the night.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] sg3love:
that is strange, did you leave in the sun by any chance before hand? looks like a defected problem on the external surface of the phone are you still under warranty?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] AxAtAx:
Device defect, take it back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] gr4v1ty:
Yeah still under warranty and I didn't leave it under the sun except one time in July! It was in my car and it said phone cannot charge too hot or something like that! But this was a long time ago and I don't think it could be related!

Ah I know exactly what happened.. It's got a skin disease.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] gr4v1ty:
I just received this from them today. Don't know what it should mean. Covered by the waranty or not? They're not too clear about it. Anyone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Agent:
I would think it would be covered by the warranty, but what does it say about cosmetic stuff? I would make sure to tell them something else is wrong with it that's covered by warranty so you get a new one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] peteskey:
did you hear anything back about this?

I have the same problem and I took it to an AT&T store and the guy there said he had seen it multiple times. He also couldnt give me a new phone then and there.

What did you do to get it fixed/replaced?

I am still under warranty.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] gr4v1ty:
To be honest, I didn't try anything yet. Everything involved sending the phone and waiting which I didn't have time to do. Also, they didn't specify nothing about the cost. Everything was going to be determined there. So I'm just going to wait till my finals are over and I'll go directly to the service center and see there. My cell phone company couldn't exchange it for me neither.

PS can you post a pic of your screen? How did it happen in your case?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] gr4v1ty:
Service center in Montréal repaired it for free. Just in case someone else has this problem
[General Questions and Answers] freetoaster:
I must be totally blind but I can't seem to find an answer to this by searching, please be gentle :)

I'm running Slim Bean 4.3 (unofficial) on my HTC XT Evita. Runs great etc. The issue is that in the 4.3 release of slim bean there can be presistant google search errors. The fix for this is to "uninstall Google Now.....reboot one time......reboot into recovery and just flash AIO_gapps again and you are fine to go" as per the slim bean site

Now comes the noob question how do I uninstal google now? I'm not sure what .apk and .odex files to delete. I've considered using adb to get a ls of the /app/ folder pre and post gaaps instal so I know which ones are associated with it but there must be a better way. I've already tried various methods and reflashes to try and fix this but obviously I'm just doing it wrong.

Any help appreciated.
[General Questions and Answers] freetoaster:
I found a solution if not the answer directly. As part of the unofficial slim bean htc Evita forum a user just posted the following-

-Flash ROM

-Install GAPPS with aroma installer don't install Google search,

-Install Google search/now through the playstore

This method is working well for me currently, just wanted to pass on the answer if somebody finds this.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] SouthernGeorge:
I have an AT&T HTC One X that charges fine, but I cannot sync it with the computer.

I've uninstalled and deleted all the old HTC Drivers, I installed the HTC Sync Manager, and still no luck.

When I try to resolve the conflict, I go to Harware info and I get USB\UNKNOWN.

When it connects to the computer, it just starts charging, and thats it.

I have also tried multiple cables, and all the USB ports on my computer.

I've read around on the other threads, and still haven't found a solution that works.

My current theory would be to replace the USB Port on the phone, but I dont want to modify any hardware if its a software issue.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

-Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rejovinated:
I'm on the same boat and I tried everything with the drivers and different USB cords. I don't think anyone has any definitive solution. Can the USB port on the phone really get defective?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] SouthernGeorge:
I don't think the USB port itself can be defective, its probably the soldering that wasn't done correctly. I assume the the prongs that handle the data weren't soldered all the way. But im in no way an electrical engineer so I totally could have been making that up.

Im gonna open it up later today and inspect the port connection and see if anything is up.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mitsurugidgb:
If it's charging, then I'd think the USB port is fine. Have you tried installing the full HTC program and then just uninstalling the sync software so as to leave the drivers?

Yeah, I uninstalled it but still nothing...
