[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dspyer:
Hi I'm wondering if any of you guys know if any shops (highstreet ones) like carphone warehouse will be selling the nexus 5? Only I'm not sure what do do if I was to receive a faulty phone out of The box.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ehcool:
Right ok so as far as i know CW sold the nexus 4 after it launched and so did o2(Im not sure about other carriers) so hopefully it will be the same this time around but it might take a week or two for stores to get them in stock if google doesn't give much time between the announcement and the release and in terms of what if it is faulty you are covered by the Sales of goods act in the uk so it should be a case of just going into the store and getting a replacement

I will probably have to buy mine from CW since i don't have a debt card that the play store accepts but im only doing this if they can match the play stores price which they will probably not :(
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JackHanAnLG:
More then likely but remember, when the nexus 4 came out it was £239 for the 8gb and £279 for the 16gb, i saw the 16gb go for over £400 in stores.

if the nexus 5 is £299 it will more then likely go for £500 + in store
[HTC One X+] Optimus:
Hi everyone, I am using HTC ONE X + At&t Version with Team Venom ViperXL+ 2.0.0 Rom. Last night i downloaded an app from playstore and my battery was 40%. Furhtermore my device was running from 2 days without charge and still had 40%. Suddenly my device turned off with a beep. I thought it was the app , but to my surprise when i plugged in the charger it then turned on and the battery status was nil, and then gradually it was charging. Can someone please tell me is it normal to happen like this? i never had any issues like this, is it the battery status file issue? Please help.
[HTC One X+] Ghand0ur:
Well since its a custom rom its not really "perfect". It seems it is either a "Visual bug" giving you wrong stats about how much battery is left (in which case you can use a helpful gadget like "Battery Reborn" , it has a widget with a chart to help you know how much time is left, when was the peak usage..etc)

Or It might be an actual issue with the ROM itself. In which case I suggest you check out the bug's section of the ROM. After all you can't really know until the dev for that rom replies.
[HTC One X+] Optimus:
Thanks for the help i will certainly download this widget and see if its a visual problem, i m currently running Battery saver widget never had a problem .. but i guess problem never tells before it comes.. :).

This is weird. I was trying to upgrade my O2 XDAIIS to WM5, but I got stuck on the bit where you're supposed to press the 'Mail' button to save (after you set the 2 option to 'YES'). It didn't want to save (and reboot).

I decided to downgrade it back to the the original ROM that came when I bought it. I successfully doing that, but now all my four buttons (below the screen) don't work. I had a look on the Button Setup and they are set-up correctly (I even tried to set it to different function).

Any idea ?

Thanks !

Does anyone else notice that the charging on the phone is slow? The charge even goes down as i'm surfing the web with it plugged in. I'm currently using the sony power brick that came with it. I'm experimenting with different ones at the moment. Right now I'm using the Vita charger. But compared to how my Note 3 charges, this one pales in comparison.

Please provide tips if you have any. I am currently in the mood to purchase a car charger as well.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Jaime360:
What cable are you using to charge it? Try using the original cable. Android phones usually charge at a maximun of 1.5a so the one that comes with the phone it's Ok.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Mine's charging quite fast. It takes about 2 hours if i use the dock. (1100-1300 mA)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] poisonsushi319:
I was using some generic cable, not the suplied Sony one, cuz I thought they were all the same.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] avetny:
my phone came with European charger.

So I bought it this Micro USB Quick Charger from the US sony store. It's coming with some over voltage to charge quickly.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
The specs on the sony store

Power

*AC Power : 1500mA

*Output Voltage : 120v

*Charging Connector : Micro USB

Output voltage at 120v? ..wow quick charge taken to a whole new level

shouldn't it look something like

*AC Power : 120v

*Output Voltage : 5v 1500mA

*Charging Connector : Micro USB
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] avetny:
what are you trying to say ?

regular Sony charger is ENERGY STAR (loss less than 30mW)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
That the output voltage is specified as 120 volt at the SONY store homepage. It should be 5v
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] avetny:
So?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
just fun to see them write their specs wrong :p
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] avetny:
hmm I think everything is correct. :confused: Both phone chargers got AC Power : 1500mA. But quick charger got Output Voltage : 120v. And regular is 50v.

Yesterday I full charged my sony smart watch less than for 20min :D
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] herogjan:
With that kind of voltage your ultra doesn't stay thin very long mate, definitely an error on the site.

You can't put more then 4.2V per cell. When it's more it will explode, in our phone there is one cell. My acer a700 have 3 cells, so that unit is charged with 12.6V.

You can charge faster by raising the current. Our cell is 3000mah, normally charged with 1500mah (0,5C). It should be fine to charge with 3000mah (1C). If the cell is decent quality it will take 6000mah (2C), but this reduces the charge cycles significantly. When the cell is inferior it will slowly starts to swell.

Everytime you double the amps the charge time halves (theoreticaly).

I would stick with 1500mah, done in 2 hours. There's always possibilty to charge.

[YOUTUBE]CbHFh1iWawU[/YOUTUBE]

This is what happens when you put more then 4.2V per cell into a lipo accu. In our phone there is a lion battery but this is almost the same. Lipo has a higher energy density.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] alias3800:
I've been using different chargers and different cables, all at least able to charge at 1.5 amps. My results have been essentially the same: If I leave it alone, it charges rapidly, I'd say at about 2 hours and some change to full. However, if I start using it (especially on high brightness with lots going on) the charge slows down to a hault. This is the same on most Android devices. From what I've seen, the new snapdragon 800 chipsets are able to at least continue charging even through heavy use. Just not very quickly. I know the galaxy devices don't even charge if you use them heavily enough (with the exception of the Note 3 of course).
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] herogjan:
I've experienced this with another device, it was caused by a faulty usb cable. One of the wires inside was almost cut, there was only connection with a couple of the twisted core wires. 80% was cut, big increase in resistance.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
I did a massive study on lion batteries last year, and found that voltage does have an impact. (pulled apart my battery and used various voltage/hz/amp input...

The major issue with the input is the heat. If you quick charge it for an hour then you are fine. But using quick charge, and then using your device will cause massive heat because you'll be charing it for more than an hour, and using your device uses CPU... (goes without saying).

Expanding and contracting the battery is what causes decay. The material inside the battery that holds the positive ions will crack and cause less 'hold' for these ions. This will result in less ions being able to be stored.

This also may also cause hardware issues flexing the internals.

result:

5v is fine, it comes down to 1.5 - 1.8 amps input... anything over that and you'll really need to check on the heat of the battery. There is also a sensor that detects input and output of amps. This sensor can get fried easily, so be careful not to wreck it!

What ever you do... DON'T put your device in the fridge or freezer if its hot. That will cause massive temp change, and mess with more than just your battery.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Jaime360:
They are not the same. Charging speed changes a lot depending on what cable you use. Did I solve your problem?

Enviado desde mi Xperia Z Ultra usando tapatalk 4
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] poisonsushi319:
i have not noticed any difference. I think I just have to leave it along. Also isn't the quick charger from sony store the same one we get in the box? I'm thinking about getting the samsung charger from the Note 3, because the Note 3 charges hella fast and I can feel the charger box getting warm too.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] herogjan:
It's very normal for a charger to get warm. You should watch the battery, that should not get warm.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] samsmalls:
I was thinking about plugging the Official Sony usb cord into my old Note 2 adapter because it's 2amps! the Note 2 cord also appears to be a higher gauge! I don't want to fry the battery on this thing, I wonder would .5 additional amps be ok?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
going from stock, up to 2 amps is 33.3% more than stock. It would be fine to go 10- possibly 20% above stock, however anything over 20% will cause issues with the voltage sensor inside your device. I wouldn't go there!

I've been using a 1.8 amp car charger with my Ultra and a magDock connector. Now I'm having issues with my device that wont stop thinking its charging. I constantly get a dialogue box appear on my Ultra saying that the input is not sufficient to charge my device. So even a slight increase had done something to my unit. (It may be totally unrelated... however I'm assuming this has been the culprit, as the massive amount of software mods and resets/ restores I have completed has done nothing to fix this issue)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Jaime360:
It's ok, but I don't think that it will charge faster...

Enviado desde mi Xperia Z Ultra usando tapatalk 4
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] kssr:
This is a popular misconception! Chargers don't "push" a charge to a device, they merely supply the demanded current. So if your phone demands 1000ma and your charger can only supply 800ma your phone will only get 800ma. Now, if your charger is rated at 2000ma but your phone only requires 1000ma you're OK because your phone will only demand 1000ma. The information I have been able to ascertain from the measurements I have done is... The XZU at max demand actually peaks at 1800ma however the charger is rated at 1500ma. Chargers can output approximately 125% of their rating for relatively short periods of time before their thermal protection kicks in, so the phone drawing 1800ma for short periods of time is within the charger's rating and all is fine. However the 2000ma charger the SGN2/3 comes with will be more efficient at supplying the demand for 1800ma when needed. With that said, different companies have different tolerances for their chargers/batteries/devices and what may work fine for the Note2/3 may be outside the tolerances for Z Ultra, so use the supplied charger and enjoy your device.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] samsmalls:
Ya don't say.... hummmm interesting! Guess I'll stick with the oem... but gosh this really tempted me more... I wonder if a fried battery is covered under manufacture warranty?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
I use my galaxy tab 10 charger every night. Its 5v and 2A. Phone is not getting hot at all.

Dunno about warranty, you might get warranty if you make up some lie that you did use the charger from the box. Otherwise it might be counted as caused by faulty use from the owner
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] samsmalls:
Approximately how long does a charge cycle take using your Tab adaptor?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
about 1 hour and 20min. It depends if Im using the device while charging or just let it charge alone
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
Yes devices choose how much current to draw from chargers, up to the amount of current that specific chargers can provide. However, at the same time, aftermarket/ different branded chargers have may have a varied power range, which can damage the device. And I'm sure many of us have experienced them cause damage. i.e Volts are pushed, current is pulled.

A 2A power supply does not mean it pushes 2A to whatever it's connected to. All it means is that if it's 2.5V, the minimum resistance you can have in the circuit it's powering is 2.5 Ohms without ruining the power supply from a current that's too high (i.e. higher than 2A).

The other formulae for power. One of them is P = V2 / R. Because resistance is fixed in this case, the only way we can get the right power is by having the right voltage (which is also the sole determining factor of how much current is drawn).
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Reaper82:
I noticed the opposite to the op. My HTC one x used to drain using navigation in my car on 1a charge. The Sony I find charges and goes up while navigating using the same cable. This phone charges fast and hooks battery well. You may have a different problem with your battery or usage that causes it to drain faster than it should.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] big:
I changing by magetic cable very sloow, 5h to full!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] StreamingMT:
Not correct, the charge speed is depending the cable used, her inside diameter and the length. And for sure: the power source capacity.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
You're using a "fake" magnetic charger, yes? It shouldn't take more than 2 hours from 0-100% if you're using the original Sony cable.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] herogjan:
When charging a lion, life, lipo battery voltage is a constant. You can't exceed 4.2 volt. Battery will puff and blow up when this is exceeded. I assume there is a protective circuit in the device. It should stop charging when this is exceeded. I think everybody have expeienceda battery that won't charge (laptop, phone, powertool) this is also a device safety. When a cell is below 2.7 its damaged beyond repair. When you force load it, it will explode.

Resistance is a variabel, when the resistance is higher it pulls less amps. Lower more amps, if the charger is able to give.

R= rho l/A (resistance of wire)

P=U x I (power needed for a full load)

When voltage is a constant, resistance is a factor, makes that only altering the current has an effect.

Note2/3 Charger

Erica Griffin "The Technology nerd who likes to film stuff" in one of her video reviews on the XZU claims to be using her Note2 charger on her XZU without any problems. I trust her opinions, she's been around for quite some time now and does VERY in depth video reviews on phone tech. She does video reviews for XDA also, so....Trusted source? I think so :victory:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
unfortunately I've had to send my Ultra in for warranty repair/replacement. It was always thinking it was charging, wether plugged in or not. Unless the volt spiked then would stop.. and function normally.. So yes there must be a protective circuit in there, however doesn't stop some kind of damage occurring.. (possibly just a reset function within hardware, not sure...Sony said they will need to look at it)

---------- Post added at 09:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:13 AM ----------

Yeah i've seen a few of her clips. She really does her research, so I would also opt to give her credit.

The best case scenario would be to buy a 3rd party charger that matches the specs of the official Sony 'quick charge'

Then at least you know your safe.. and still saving money.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hardtheory:
i have the impression that since the last update (14.1.B.257), sony as change the way of charging the device.

charge fast till 70 %, a little bit slower till 90 % , and slower till 100% .

i have calculated the time of charging from 5% to 100% , i took 3 hours.

i use the EP880 charger and official data cable.

OMG, i mean [MENTION=4642591]hamdogg[/MENTION]! LOL
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
LOL... got notified of a mention, and this 'cracked' me up... (sorry... couldn't resist)

Ok here is the 411 on Lion Batteries...

Consisting of Aluminium (cathode/ + ) at the top and copper (anode / - ) on the bottom and then in the middle are varying qualities of carbon. When the battery charges, ions of (lithium in this case) move through the electrolyte (which separates the positive from the negative) from the positive electrode to the negative electrode and attach to the carbon. During discharge, the lithium ions move back.

Its this carbon that the positively charged ions stick to. The better quality the carbon/ more little nooks and holes in it, the more particles can stick to it, meaning the more you can charge it/ longer it will last.

So this is the mAh rating... i.e our battery is 3050 mAh. The battery is smaller than the note 2 and yet Samsung's battery was 3100mAh. So that must mean the carbon Sony uses is of a better quality.

To answer your questions, the first 80% will charge faster as the little nooks and holes in the carbon are everywhere. But when its almost fully charged, then its harder for these ions to find a place to stick. So thats why it takes longer to charge that last few %.

As for an update of firmware, all that Sony could do here, is change the tolerance of volts, and subsequently the amount of current pull that the device can get. Increase / decrease, depending on how Sony feels it will effect the device.

Hope that helps... :cool:

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] achyut:
I was just reading the review of the SGS 4 on GSMArena for fun and came to see something weird (according to me). Maybe am just completely missing something.....any help would be good :)

My SGS 4 seemingly lacks the 360 panorama mode. but on the review, it indeed had the 360 panorama as a mode to choose from.

take a look at the screenshot of the different modes from the review.

also I quote from the review...

"Let's go over the different modes. There are standard modes like Rich Tone (HDR), Panorama, Night and Sports. Panoramas are pretty impressive, they go a full 360° circle or more and can be as big as 60MP (note that if you hold the phone vertically, the panorama image will have nearly more than twice the resolution). "

"Then we get into the more interesting shots. 360 photo is Samsung's name for Photo Sphere, which creates a spherical panorama, similar to those in Street View. "

am using wanamlite 1.8 with many many modifications of my own,but personally I have never ever seen that 360 panorama mode on my S4 ever. am using it for some 6 months or so....

awaiting answers, please don't bash :o

I read a lot of topics on a lot of sites and came to the conclusion that on this site i prolly could get the best answers, since most other sites where kind enough to tell people they had the answers coming from this site.

Wanted to post pics, but wasn't allowed

So here are manually added specs:

Number of cores 4

CPU ARCH ARMv7 Processor rev 10 (v7)

When i check IMEI behind battery my phone does not exist: 35579906457266

When i check it with *#06# i find a NOKIA on this IMEI: 355236030611553

Checks where done on IMEI.info.

So could someone please help me identifying what phone i have and whether it is totally useless or i still can make something out of it and how to do this if possible at all:p
