[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ILLHYHL:
I have tmobile lg g2.

I just noticed this problem last night, driving to my friend's house, my first visit ever.

The arrow pointing where you are headed is not aligned with the road.

it is about 20~30 degrees off.

is this known issue?

is there a fix?

thx in advance.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] friguy3:
Its a google maps issue. Hold the phone and then rotate the screen around and youll see the arrow rotate too. for me it usually points out to the left. Kinda annoying but a google issue, happened on my old GNex too.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ILLHYHL:
thx. good to know that it's not the phone's problem.

but then my last phone was sgs3 and it didn't have any problems like this :(

hmm
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ILLHYHL:
Can anyone else confirm this?

This is really annoying :(

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benjaminj007:
I can confirm this issue. Mine, unlike the other user, happens in both Google Maps and Waze navigation. It bounces my location to other nearby roads/streets. I unrooted my device and returned to stock, but the problem persists. I still have not been able to find a solution to this issue.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garywojdan81:
Google it. I saw someone on some forum created a GPS fix that's flashable for north American devices. His premise is that the native GPS programming uses GPS + glonass satellites and that actually can create issues.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obladi64:
I face to more and more issues regarding gps and navigation. It is shame in this class isn't it?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lattosimbaste:
Same issue here including running CM11. It's an odd issue as the compass heading feature in Google maps works fine on my Nexus 7. GPS position seems much better with CM11 on my G2 than on stock however and navigation has been working well.

Edit - Compass doesn't work with Gaia GPS either. This is really strange and is definitely a bug as Nexus 7 and Galaxy Nexus both show heading with both applications.

Hi I am rooted and unlocked on sprint HTC one 4.1.2 stock. I want to RUU back to unrooted stock so I can get the 4.3 ota. Do I .wed do relock the bootloader? Ps. I have twrp installed.

Thanks
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sauprankul:
Why are you hanging out here bro? Head over to the Sprint forums!

Anyway, dont do that! Why not flash OMJ's ROM? There are a couple of bugs, I believe, but they're probably minor.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2467607

Anyway, the only req for taking update is stock recovery. And stock ROM, of course. You can flash the stock recovery.

No need to RUU or relock boot loader.
[Shield Q&A] Edwii:
I got my shield "new" off ebay but because it was from ebay and not a retailer they wont support me with warranty.

I put in a micro sd card for like the 5th time ever into the shield, and it wont pop out any more, i got to fish it out with some needle tweesers. which isn't terrible, but I'd like to fix this. I'm pretty handy with being able to fix most things one way or the other, but I'd like to know what I might be in for if I open the shield up.

Please advise.
[Shield Q&A] kieso:
If you bought it new then it'll be covered by nvidia. Theres a one year warranty with it....it doesn't matter where you bought it. Just register it through the website.
[Shield Q&A] blinkdragonid:
^what he said^ I'm on my 3rd Shield.
[Shield Q&A] Edwii:
I already talked to nvidia, and that's what they told me.

The guy I got it from traded in a bunch of games to gamestop for the shield, and then sold it on ebay. Tho he didn't use it he is considered the first owner, which according to nvidia, makes the non transferable warranty void.

So unless some one can advise me on how to bs my way thru nvidia, I need to open it up myself?
[Shield Q&A] SiDCrAzY:
You had said before that the guy you bought it from had used it and now you're saying he didn't?
[Shield Q&A] Edwii:
I just got it off ebay, I couldn't tell if he had used it or not, aside from the original box it came it wasn't mint condition.
[Shield Q&A] SiDCrAzY:
Did you say that to Nvidia customer service? I would have left that part out. I don't know if I should give tips on how to BS Nvidia though, but I would not have said I got it used or anything that gave that impression.

[Xperia Z1 General] Ierlanfdan:
Well, after usual setup, playing around and other things you do when you received your toy I tried the famous watertest. Which I bought it for.

After checking the bits and pieces that need to be closed, I gently placed it in the filled sink while playing some iptv show and recorded it. Nice to show up when with friends and so. See? No problem!

hone resp

Recording went great but when I went back to the room the screen started to glitch and touchscreen stopped working. Phone went into reboot loop and freaked out. After removing SIM and SD card and pushing the red button the phone started. When it was ready booting, the touchscreen was still not working. After a few minutes, the screen started to flicker.

So for those who want to try. Please do, now it's still under warranty.

Thre's a youtube movie of this happening on the IFA too. Don't know the name of it.

This one will be returned.
[Xperia Z1 General] kashppo:
I haven't tried yet and wasn't really planning on doing so, but your thread is tempting me... After all it is supposed to be a water proof phone, right?

For someone that has already dealt with Sony, how easy is it to deal with them for a warranty aim like this?
[Xperia Z1 General] gregbradley:
I stuck my phone in the sink tonight for a minute. Still works fine.

If yours doesn't get it replaced
[Xperia Z1 General] pikeylfc:
I was on Facebook in the shower for about 10 minutes ha never had a problem in a pool or anything until I broke the flap on the charger port and lost it so no more waterproof for me
[Xperia Z1 General] blakamin:
Mines been in the sink a few times, been in the shower too.. no issues.
[Xperia Z1 General] Geoffxx:
you will be able to buy a new flap/cover here in the near future - one of the reasons why the dock or magnetic cable is a must have

http://rounded.com/

to the OP - you might have trouble convincing Sony that you had all the flaps properly closed, they can do a vacuum test on the phone but you are putting you trust in them to be honest and truthful about their findings

here's an interesting water damage pack http://www.clove.co.uk/rescuetec-water-damage-repair-recovery-kit
[Xperia Z1 General] pikeylfc:
I really hope so I sent them a email thanks I ordered one of the magnetic chargers
[Xperia Z1 General] gallardo5:
I think you shouldnt open flaps after having it in water. I understand that They Were closed under water, but when it was still wet, some water could have Got under flaps when you opened them and sony May say that They were not properly closed
[Xperia Z1 General] naga.nino:
I was swimming with mine for about 3 hours in a pool, filming and shooting even deeper than 1,5m, no problem whatsoever.
[Xperia Z1 General] Thraxzzz:
Balls of steel you have there mate ;)
[Xperia Z1 General] naga.nino:
Well, my previous phone was xperia Z and every time I went into the pool I took Z with me and stayed for at least 2 hours in the water and never had a single issue. As Z1 is even more waterproof, I had no problem whatsoever taking it with me. :)
[Xperia Z1 General] shaz2sxy:
I've tested my phone on a log flume and in a jug of water. No problems....

[Xperia Z1 General] LahiruRD:
Yesterday I washed my phone, no issues.

I think it was a defective product. No luck with yours :/
[Xperia Z1 General] Ierlanfdan:
Some forum member wanted to know whether the flaps were (properly) closed. They were...I recorded it. And checked about a dozen times. It's a 600+ euro device...So Sony can claim what they want. A vacuum test will show the answer.

Nice thing happened when packed for returning it. It went on for no reason (without display ofcourse) and after an hour I felt heat through the box (the original box it comes in when buying it).... barely couldn't touch the device, had to reset the device (button near the SIM) and now it's on a fireproof place just in case awaiting arrival of the repair guy.

(pickup and return guy actually)
[Xperia Z1 General] gregbradley:
I took the plunge last night and submerged my phone to show it to friends. It still works fine....

Here's the instructions regarding using the phones waterproof features.

http://userguide.sonymobile.com/referrer.php?region=gb&product=xperia-z1#!Water-resistance.html

Sent from my Sony Xperia Z1 C6903
[Xperia Z1 General] Ierlanfdan:
Don't get me wrong, I still love the phone and of course this one somehow slipped through QA. It's not a rant against Sony or something. I just want to say that It is possible that the phone isn't waterproof in all cases. So be carefull when dropping it in the water. Just like the girl on the IFA youtube clip already showed us. She tried a working device at the Sony demo stand and was allowed to submerge it. Device broke. Whoops...

By the way does anyone played with the touch block feature? Whatever that is? It seems some sort of automatic touchscreen disable feature so that the water does not causes fake touch presses.

[Xperia Z1 General] indy.89:
I've been swimming with mine recording and taking all sorts of photos underwater. Filmed for 35 minutes in the red Sea too going to depths of 4 meters. Only issue I had was the speaker going quiet after drying off the phone. Left the flaps open over night to dry it out and it works fine again. This has happened a few times and has worked as a fix everytime.
[Xperia Z1 General] ptoner:
Exact same thing happened to mine. easily broken, pathetic connection.
[Xperia Z1 General] simonwela:
That's why I use the Magnetic Charging Dock (DK31), I love it! :)

Two questions: Are you sure that the waterproofness is covered by warranty? I live in Sweden, do you think the same applies here?
[Xperia Z1 General] TheCraig:
I believe as long as the white moisture sensors under the flaps don't get wet (and eventually turn red) they have to cover you, thats the only "entry" into the phone and as long as they are shut they won't get wet, so if the phone got water damaged and the water didn't get in through the flaps then it MUST be from another way.

As long as you close the flaps and make sure they are closed properly they have to cover you :)
[Xperia Z1 General] Shrugz:
pragant 629

Had to try to soak it in the sink and using it in the shower, no problems afterwards :)
[Xperia Z1 General] Lafenear:
I also put mine under running water, and in a bowl with water. No problems whatsoever.

I even demonstrated it to my colleague by putting the bottom half of the phone in a glass with coke zero. I wouldn't recommend doing it with regular Coca-Cola though.
[Xperia Z1 General] simonwela:
Oh, I understand. Amazing!

How do I know if the flaps are 100% properly closed? The micro-SD and charger port-flaps are easy to close and the flaps are aligning perfectly to the side of the phone. But on the other side where the SIM-flap is, it's harder. No matter how hard I push on the flap, I can't get it perfectly aligned like on the other side. I can slightly feel the edges of the flap when I slide my finger over the side of the phone, but I can't get it more closed so I suppose it's good enough?

I just want to be sure before my Z1 is going to taste some water for the first time ;)
[Xperia Z1 General] TheCraig:
Just make sure they aren't to easy to pull out and they are fully pushed in, I had a look at the demo unit at 02 and the flaps seemed pretty secure.
[Xperia Z1 General] simonwela:
Yes, they feel very secure so there shouldn't be any problem. Thanks for your answer.
[Xperia Z1 General] Geoffxx:
if you think one of the flaps is not closed properly do not put the phone near water, take it to a sony service center and have it checked

water will not destroy your Z1 but because it is a sealed unit it is extremely difficult to remove moisture once it is inside
[Xperia Z1 General] muslim187:
Is it still under warranty when it gets damage by water ?
[Xperia Z1 General] Geoffxx:
not if it's something that you did or didn't do - like close a flap correctly or submerge your phone in water when you knew the flap wasn't closing properly

There's a grey area here but you don't want to take any chances - remember no warranty covers for accidents or wear and tear or defects caused by you

and remember guys that the white detection tabs under the flaps could easily get wet from the inside if water got in through another defect like the headphone socket or the screen lifting - grey area and hard to prove since the company that is going to cover your warranty is also doing the assessment
[Xperia Z1 General] simonwela:
Does the Z1 have the same problem as Xperia Z with screen lifting? :(
[Xperia Z1 General] Geoffxx:
and do you think anyone could answer that question ???

IMO I would doubt it, it is constructed completely differently to the Z and also the design team will be looking at Z failures making sure they don't happen on the Z1 - so in answer to your question in my opinion "No"
[Xperia Z1 General] Jimmy2u:
Well as per my perspective Z1 is much better than the Z and the designing team of sony has worked well on it...and about the water test , I would say if the flap of the phone is properly closed then it can't hamper your phone......so its a nice one and quite more featured one than Z..So i like it...:)
[Xperia Z1 General] Ierlanfdan:
I am the TS and I think the flaps weren't the problem. They were firmly closed. After thinking I thought that leaves me two options.

Or the speaker entry or the headphones entry. So I blew into the headphone entry with a flap open and air travelled (fast) through. Aka the headphone entry is the problem. That's how the water possibly went through. But it's just a thought. Can anyone confirm that blowing into the headphone jack with (sd card flap) open is not possible?
[Xperia Z1 General] thefunkygibbon:
to the people who have used theirs in the shower etc. how? i stood in the shower with mine and it seems that every drop of water which hit the screen caused the phone to freak out and register it as a finger touching it. so with lots of droplets landing on it, like you would expect in the rain/shower etc the screen went mental thinking i was touching it in lots of places all over the screen.
[Xperia Z1 General] TheCraig:
I suppose they locked the phone and let a playlist run?
[Xperia Z1 General] thefunkygibbon:
apparently not.
[Xperia Z1 General] TheCraig:
I never had a problem with using my old Xperia play in the rain while it had a shatter resistant sheet on the screen but when I took it off just breathing on the screen made it go crazy. So I guess they had screen protectors???
[Xperia Z1 General] gallardo5:
It's not possible to blow into it with flap opened, I checked it just now
[Xperia Z1 General] zzcool:
same thing happened for me the screen freaked out by 80% it opened the camera and took burst shots constantly untill i was able to go out of it after that the screen was extremely unresponsive i could not drag down the notification bar or barely do anything not even turn the phone off as i could not press the button on the screen after about 2 min or trying to press the turn off button on the screen i finally managed to get it

after that i restarted the phone and everything was fine

is this normal?

---------- Post added at 10:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:54 AM ----------

whats worrying to me is that i tried the speaker under water is this a dangerous thing to do?
[Xperia Z1 General] Geoffxx:
no it isn't normal and to find out what is the cause would probably meen uninstalling your installed apps as it could be an app

make sure you have no task killers memory managers battery managers etc as they can interfere with the OS - there's no need for them

I have never had an issue like this on my Z1

also avoid 3rd party live wallpapers as they could also interfere

and using the speaker under water - well you've sort of answered your own question - if you're not sure then don't do it
[Xperia Z1 General] zzcool:
i use

battery widget reborn

1 tap clean

battery booster

all in one toolbox

as for the speaker part

well that is going to worry me for some time now
[Xperia Z1 General] j0sh1:
Well i put mine in a sink and the screen just wont register my touches... i played a video... it was fine but coudnt really do much as i coudnt click anything... taking out the phone from water with wet screen also didnt help much as screen was almost fully non responsive... i wiped it with a tissue and works fine...

I bought this phone out right for $733 just 1 day ago ... shall i get it replaced... ?
[Xperia Z1 General] Geoffxx:
the screen will not work while submerged in water
[Xperia Z1 General] j0sh1:
Oh... that sucks... kinda disappointed with my purchase... i really thought i would be able to do all that underwater aswell... silly me, should have done some pre-purchase research... Also the stock i bought from (Apparently Australian stock according to harvey norman) gave me really crap earphones... like the absolute basic ones that look like iphone ones. I was really wanting to get LG G2 ... only if the resale value of LG wasn't so bad. :(
[Xperia Z1 General] simonwela:
But one thing that is good is the dedicated camera button! Without it you wouldn't be able to take photos or record videos underwater.

:highfive:
[Xperia Z1 General] bibiner:
I think I saw ppl use the phone underwater. Can use touch screen. I think you should replace.
[Xperia Z1 General] Geoffxx:
you cannot use the touch screen under water, there is nothing wrong with the phone, a solution might be to used the smartwatch or the camera button
[Xperia Z1 General] Sheon849:
im thinking of changing my iPhone 5S to this phone. Can u take it in the ocean? has anyone done this?
[Xperia Z1 General] AoS_HJ:
I thought I read in the literature that you should use it in salt water but fresh water only. But if Wolf has done it and his phone is fine then that's enough to let you know it's good for short bursts. I'd rinse it well with fresh water afterwards though. Just to be safe ;)
[Xperia Z1 General] Sheon849:
ya its salt water here in Hawaii I would not mind live streaming while im surfing in Waikiki.
[Xperia Z1 General] Geoffxx:
I think the salt water issue is to do with the headphone socket - it has metal contacts in there and would rust very quickly if exposed to salt water, although I suppose you could give it a good rinse in fresh water perhaps or if you could find a little rubber bung that would fit in there tight enough to seal it then that may also be a solution
[Xperia Z1 General] Sheon849:
sweet thanks
[Xperia Z1 General] Ierlanfdan:
If luck is with me, my phone (I am the TS) is back tomorrow..something is withtholding me of dumping the phone in the water immediately :-

An LG Optimus something (Quad core, E975) is really not the same (Loane Phone)

Will try to do some tests (water free, ak dry tests) Have to find some vacuum tester before dumping it gently in the sink or anywhere near water.
[Xperia Z1 General] niko1983:

Just took mine in the shower yesterday. Took a couple of sample pics, a video and played some tunes - works great. I did notice that the speaker volume goes waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay down so I'm assuming there's a sensor involved or something as after I dried it off, the speaker volume was back to normal.
[Xperia Z1 General] Dragored:

I bought my phone from overseas so no USA warranty. Went swimming with it,put it under running water, showered with it and still good to go!
[Xperia Z1 General] 301stSpartan:
Do you have a screen protector? I've had the same issue as others here in that when drops of water land on the screen, it registers touches so the phone becomes mostly unusable when water drops are hitting it.

I also have swam with mine and taken underwater pictures with the hardware camera button. Then after bringing the phone out of the water, the water on the screen interferes with my touches making it hard to use. I found that while it is wet. If you turn the screen off then on again, the screen works perfectly again. It seems when the screen goes off and on it resets it's touches and ignores the water already on the screen. This is great for the pool, but won't work in the shower with new water constantly hitting it.

Just curious if others are using in the shower, how well the screen is working and if they have protectors or something that might help.
