Ive been having the sticky button to

but my watch is firm in its frame, not moving or lifting out

ideas?
[Sony Smartwatch 2] zippy01:
Just to say my watch was lifting out I sent it to Sony they sent me a new unit which has been fine. Send it off for warranty repair :)
[Sony Smartwatch 2] julz:
I'd try to get it replaced under warranty if you can as it might be a sign that the waterproofing is failing?
[Sony Smartwatch 2] espe0:
Hi there

I had one with that problem

and I used polyurethane c4 wood glue

Its has specyfic abilities to grown beside two materials

I think its best way to repear it

But i have worst problem

Sw2 really easily get scratches

---------- Post added at 07:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:40 AM ----------

The lifting up from frame makes waterproofing is failing

Becouse the usb flip cover is not in its place and making gaps

Make sure that touchscreen is in ideal line with the frame

And when it is its should be waterproof
[Sony Smartwatch 2] cirian75:
Sent it off yesterday to the Amazon seller

Let's see what they think
[Sony Smartwatch 2] cirian75:
have been refunded

they agreed the button was well goose and it was not lifting out of the frame

thinking of the Peeble Steel now but no way will I pay the £260/275 UK sellers want vs the £150 it costs to import one direct, even if the people tax catch it +VAT its £180 is still almost £100 cheaper than the rip off merchants.

Runtastic

Hello,

yesterday I bought the SW2.

I want to install the runtastic app on my SW2 (it was already installed on my smartphone (S3 mini)

and it's already updated to PRO). I went to settings in the app and then selected connect with smartwatch

After that he opened the sony connect app and nothing happened. (My SW was connected with my phone)

Can someone help me? I don't know what I do wrong!

About to send mine in for replacement

Hey Guys,

I have the Sony Protection Plus warranty on my smartwatch 2 and I had the problem with the watchface popping out of the frame. I called sony support and they approved a replacement. I was hoping that they wouldn't have any more in stock and refund my purchase or send me a SW3 (these are the terms of the warranty).

Has anybody gotten a replacement recently? I figured they'd be out of stock...

Thanks!
[Sony Smartwatch 2] julz:
I'm pretty sure they would have lots of stock still available.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] dersie:
SW3 can not replace an SW2, very different watch and all incompatible between them.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] badler6545:
Good luck with getting your replacement. Their support was hilariously incompetent when I had to. My watch's battery was shot so they approved a replacement. First call they got everything approved. Waiting two weeks and heard nothing, received nothing. Called back and nothing had been done they had nigh a record. Took care of it again, thought everything would work out - nope that was too optimistic. Waited a while, still nothing. Finally called back and nothing had been done, and to top it off, somehow they had botched my address so we had to correct that. So all is moving now and I get a confirmation after a couple more weeks - again with the same wrong address they somehow had. I called and supposedly that was taken care of. A while later on delivery day, guess what - no watch. Status page said it was delivered, but my front door was empty. FedEx didn't give me where it was delivered to, but I had a feeling I knew exactly where it was. I took a trip to the wrong address I had corrected long ago, knocked on the door, and claimed my watch from a confused but very friendly woman.

Fun times, Sony. 5 months later now and my replacement's charger flap somehow split and cannot be opened. Out of my one year warranty, though - much of which was taken up by their incompetence. Ah, rant over haha
[Sony Smartwatch 2] zargold:
Thanks for the rant [MENTION=4703957]badler6545[/MENTION] :) I was also finding that their support system was pretty bad. After being forwarded about 5 times and then not being able to hear the customer service guy, they said that they will approve a replacement and had me send my watch in. I received a shipping label the next day and sent it off. I called in to make sure that they received it which they did. And I was told that my replacement will just show up in 5-7 business days, I asked if I should expect a confirmation or a tracking number and he said no... I guess if I don't here from them soon I'll give them a call to see whats going on. Overall not such a great experience with sony. This was supposed to be exceptional service because I had the Protection Plus extended warranty. In the mean time I bought an iPhone 6 plus so I guess I'll sell the new watch when I does finally arrive..
[Sony Smartwatch 2] Sciencekeeper:
The Software of this watch is okay. Sadly since the last update i had a few Bugs.

But Two weeks ago the Hardware fell apart. I had to sent it back.. Thank god i noticed it in time. Two minutes later and I would have lost it in my train...
[Sony Smartwatch 2] JarlSX:
my first watch came apart a month after purchase

i dropped it on a concrete floor and broke the screen, got a new one july last year

took half a year but now this one is also coming apart, absurd!

guess i'll have to use the superglue again..... (worked well with my first watch)
[Sony Smartwatch 2] zargold:
[MENTION=5945540]Sciencekeeper[/MENTION] have you received a replacement yet? I still haven't heard anything and its been two weeks. I'm trying to call them now. Its been almost an hour and nobody has answered yet. I tried the online chat but they said they can't help...

So far the sony protection plus experience sucks...
[Sony Smartwatch 2] Sciencekeeper:
Well i bought the watch via Amazon. So it was quite simple. One Mail and thats it. I didn't want a New One i got my money back. I didn't want to worry about loosing my watch every five minutes

sony smartwatch 2 e o mizerie ieftina pe bani multi

Am cumparat un sony smartwatch2 de la cel.ro cei mai tepari vanzatori online din romania , am schimbat 2 pana acum toate cu probleme la display , cei de la cel.ro nu stiu decat sa scape de clienti , nu cumparati nimic de la ei sunt mai tepari decat toti ad

astia de de pe online , la ei nu exista garantie , daca ai ajuns acolo deja ai pierdut. Referitor la ceas nu recomand , valoarea lui e undeva la 20 de euro maxim .
[Sony Smartwatch 2] Jorexapps:
Is this normal, that SW2 somethimes takes 15 minutes to reconnect with phone?
[Sony Smartwatch 2] JarlSX:
whenever my SW2 acts up (happens sometimes, thankfully not too often) i switch it off, wait a few seconds and then switch it back on

sometimes it goes into some kind of connect-disconnect loop, off/on fixes that

sometimes it will completely reset the watch, by itself, thankfully the app restores everything including settings and watchfaces

sometimes if i walk out of range and come back, and it doesn't reconnect, i tap the power button once and it will reconnect

waiting for the 2nd moto 360 to maybe move to android wear, Sony isn't going anywhere fast with this thing
[Sony Smartwatch 2] Jorexapps:

Giving my 2 cents (not really a problem but...). It seems android M developer preview for nexus 5 can't send notifications to sw2. Maybe something changed in notification layer, I don't know.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] papertreeprophet:
Got my Note 3 just this past Thursday, finally finished everything on it this morning, and decided to give it a restart. It went in to a boot loop that no matter what I did I couldn't get it out of. I pulled the battery, sd card, and pen, and tried once more. As with each time I got to the home screen, but this time quickly went into task manager and cleared memory to try and kill all apps in case one was the problem.

My question is if there is a way to try and find out if it was an app, or the SD card, or something else. I know errors are stored somewhere, but for all I know I've never had a reason to try and access it.

As always, thanks for any help ;)

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] papertreeprophet:
Well not rooted, and found out logcat apps won't work without some trickery in Jellybean and up.

But, I got brave even without my home setup nearby so I can fix things (at the BBQ currently) I tried to rule some things out, and figured out it is something with the SD card. I can boot normally with it out, and insert it after boot. I'm hoping it's just the card, but I will hold off till tonight when I'm home to try and fix it.

Hey guys,

I have dropped my G2(D803) and the glass cracked on the bottom right resulting the loss of the digitizer on the entire bottom half of the screen. Now, the phone hasn't beeen rooted, and I can't get in to the phone, as my lockscreen pattern requires the use of the bottom half of the phone so essentially, it's a expensive brick at this point... Is there a way to trigger a factory reset so my info gets deleted on the phone, or any guides for a glass/digitizer only replacement?

Only a question of time before Sony abandons electronics altogether as a corporation. It is their financial services, specifically life insurance, that provides profits and support the business.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] corrado85:
Bye bye Sonyyy
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] AntiLazarus:
Hmmm...I'm not sure why you seem to think it's "only a question of time" before Sony gets out of electronics. These past couple of quarters have been their only good ones in a while, and they came as a result of the new corporate strategy with a big mobile push. It doesn't make any sense for them to start winding down now. All the CEO said was that considering the amount of resources it takes to crack the US market, it makes more sense for them to consolidate and strengthen their base in Japan and Europe before attempting to spread out.

If you ask me, it sounds very reasonable, and I think it's a great sign that Sony now has management that is capable of analyzing their situation and coming up with a concrete, step-by-step plan for improving it. As opposed to, for instance, HTC, who is just flailing about with no apparent direction.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] beerope:
Oh look a fcuking expert right fcuking here
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] clubtech:
Agreed. Nothing in that article points to anything showing Sony will pull out of the US. They will probably continue to sell their phones unlocked through their website without investing tons in brand name or working with carriers. For now at least.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
I can only speak of Oceania where I am from. Sony devices are the most expensive. e.g.

Sony LED 52" is $3,900

LG LED 52" is $2,200

Samsung LED 52" is $2,900

Sony is renown here for a status symbol. No one in their right mind (only the rich) buy their brands. Their mobiles have come down in price a lot, and their Z1 and Ultra were similar prices to the S4 and Note 3. Otherwise I wouldn't have bought it.

In saying that they do particularly well in Asia. So saying that they will no longer sell electronics is mental. Perhaps in America.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Imdking:
What??? How do people come up with the conclusion that Sony is "exiting" the US market? And scantlin of phonedog is actually a paid reporter, and she said she will miss them!

Leaving is NOT what the CEO said.

"Our biggest priority is maintaining our share in Japan or increasing it ... But getting into the U.S. market requires a lot of resources and marketing, so we have to go one step at a time."

Even the guy at the Verge said "Sony is leaving.... for now". This newage electonic media and "news", the Internet! These reporters just crank the news out, like their articles don't get edited and verified by a second person before they are publised.

All the man did was point out the importance of maintaining the overseas market share, and the difficulty of penetrating the US market, which they will do 1 step at a time.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bASKOU:
This is simply what some people would like to see. Like that they can feel better buying something else and wish to make people go the same way as they do. Sony is a brand that put a lot of money on development and build, and they have hard time to be able to compete with Samsung and LG who flood the market with heavy marketing and communication. Marketing and communication are really expensive and so for companies who do it a lot, mean most of the price of the devise is for cover marketing fees.

No offense, but that's old news. Everybody knows Sony's electronics division has been losing money for a while. But now that they have actually managed to start making inroads in this area again, why would they quit? They're obviously determined to turn the electronics division around. I think Hirai meant just what he said.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SpyderTracks:
They're now one of the top mobile manufacturers and they recently publicly said they're aiming to be in the top three which I reckon they can achieve. I like the fact that they support the Dev community, and I think their recent line up for both mobile and laptop is impressive. Their build quality is up there way past Samsung.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] marc_ecko28:
Sony doesnt exit US market, they do not want to expand to US market and focus on UK and Asia.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] omegafiler:
I agree, there's been no indication that they are dramatically abandoning the US phone market, as some have implied. And even if they did, do we really care? That wouldn't likely have any effect on XZU owners in the US. Virtually all of whom purchased the international version via the internet, which is "global" in nature.

As long as Sony has a solid international warranty and offers full quad band GSM support for use in the US, the off-contract and unlocked international route is the way to go. Besides, who wants more subsidized on-contract phones anyways?
