[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] NoBetterWords:
Okay. I'm on my second Z Ultra in the past 9 weeks. The first freezing and dying after 28 days.

The replacement appeared and I've been using it the past 5 weeks.

This morning I went for a walk with my dog and put the phone in the front pocket of my jeans. There was nothing else in the pocket; coins, keys, etc. to ensure the soft scratchable coating of the phone wasn't affected.

Came home 20 minutes later and received a call. When I retrieved the phone from the pocket there were cracks all across the front screen starting from the edge of the glass beside the on/off button.

Whilst the display lit up as normal behind, the phone functions; answering, etc. were inoperable.

Now it's galling that this phone has NEVER been dropped. I never had ANY impact on the phone; knocking into a doorway, etc. during my walk with my dog. So how come it just seemed to 'explode'?

Have sent it off to Sony's repair hub in the UK in the hope that they'll repair under warranty as there was NO accidental damage and the case around the point of where the screen breakage - like the rest of the case - doesn't have a scratch nor mark.

The Sale of Goods Act in Scotland states:

Customers do have a legal right to a refund, repair or

replacement if an item they purchased

• does not match the description

• is not of satisfactory quality

• is not fit for purpose

Fit for purpose surely includes phones that can be carried in a pocket without a screen cracking?

Opinions please...

Feel for ya man, that sucks. Worth reading the following thread:

http://www.xperiablog.net/2013/11/...ays-for-xperia-z-series-suggests-leaked-info/

It seems Sony is prepared for this and acknowledges it may be an issue. I wonder if there was an existing defect in your screen cos that shouldn't happen without dropping it.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
Sorry man

In the first week that I had mine I managed to drop it from about 1.5 m out of my pocket while climbing on to a platform on to the concrete floor with no case, end result just the smallest of marks on the aluminium case on the bottom left. All in all I was impressed at how strong it was - seen a S4 dropped at work from the same hight, didn't fare so well.

Opinion

Hi, I have most of the smart phones & tablets that were produced since the early i-Mate until now and i keep them all, The best for me is the "Note III" but i can't hold only 1 cell phone as i need another phone number for work so i got the Z-Ultra

until now it has only a little scratch on the back glass but the point is that i used to get Samsungs for my wife and by the same week of purchase they fell either on floor, asphalt or anything and their screens(Digitizer or Panel) gets cracked easily, Since the release of the Z i liked it so i got it for her and i must say it fells on the floor at least 3 times a day and guess what, the device has nothing but little scratches on the side frame, It has a great build and quality, I will stick with Sony for my wife as its the only phone we have tried that can resist this much

4.4 broke my ability to wifi tether through T-Mobile. I used to use FoxFi and a VPN to encrypt the connection. Since upgrading to 4.4 all encrypted packets are just dropped. Any request to a site via HTTPS just times out. Trying to use an unencrypted connection just gives me the paywall, even on other Android devices which I used to be able to tether for free on.

Anyone else on T-Mobile have their wifi tethering through FoxFi broken with 4.4?

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lopezk38:
I can confirm this works. I did it to both my phones about a week ago, been working flawlessly
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hittingsmoke:
If you'd read the fix link you'd know that's not the case. The default tethering app is now allowing data routing through a secondary carrier APN which is filtered instead of the conventional mobile data APN. That has to be disabled in one of the Android settings database files to get it back to working the same way it did on < 4.4, which is routing tethered data through the same APN as the phone uses.

Hey guys!

I noticed that there's something wrong with my home Wi-Fi network. When I open Facebook app with Chrome browser, I can see text only. Now I'm on my girlfriend's Wi-Fi and everything's all right, FB site is displaying as it should. Also, when I'm using apps and they need to display pictures, for example FB app or Gmail app, they never load, but on my home network only. What's wrong with my Wi-Fi network?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] pmcneil:
I had a similar issue when I used Facebook on the nexus or iPad.

My issue was related to IPv6 enabled on my router. I had a tunnel setup with Hurricane Electric and incorrectly set it up.

Disabling the IPv6 protocol fixed the issue.

After I got the tunnel fixed, it looks like Facebook and the Google applications and Web sites are preferring IPv6.

Does any one know if leave it charged is bad for the battery, or not? :?:
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] pug:
I read somewhere that li-ion batteries work better when charged often. It's to do with the way the batteries degrade. Mine is generally on charge more often than not and I have noticed no loss of life in nearly a year.

I do wish I could find a way to bypass that 72 hour rule though.
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] zman:
What 72 hrs rule?
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] pug:
The battery only drains to about 50% to allow for 72 hours main battery backup in case you are away from a charger for the weekend or something.

As I'm never away from a charging source for more than 2 hours, I want to disable this to allow extra usage at any one time.

Hope I answered your question earlier.

Pug.
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] zman:
From reading Li-Ion behavior over the internet, they said while Li-Ion battery provides a light weight, it is sensitive on the overcharging issue.

So, I was concern in overcharging mine.

But, perhaps the charger has a built-in mechanism to sense full charge and prevents overcharge the battery. :?

In any way, thank you for your input on charging the batter and the 72 hrs rule.
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] christopherwoods:
Some essential information on Li-Ion batteries:

http://www.batteryuniversity.com/partone-5.htm

http://www.batteryuniversity.com/partone-12.htm (charging Li-Ion batteries)

Contrary to popular belief, Li-Ion batteries DON'T have a memory effect like NiMh or NiCads do, you don't have to charge them for 10/12 hours when you first get them, you just give them a topup charge to make sure they're full and off you go.

Whenever I get back home, and I'm at my PC or in my room, I'll always charge my phone in. The XDA literally eats battery life, and I'm seriously debating buying one of those 2600mAh batteries to replace the supplied one, it sucks if you're using it for anything like Bluetooth and you're not using an in-car charger / you're walking around in a town or city for a fair while.

[Moto X Q&A] Dburgessme2:
Hi folks!

I have a gNex on VZW with a ROM that I haven't changed in over a year. Just too busy and it got pretty functional. I've probably skimmed over all these threads multiple times.

I am trying to decide on a used VZW Moto x (good price) that is rooted but no camera update. I have been watching development and and support for the Moto X but was originally thinking about the Dev Edition since twice the space. I could see myself using up 16 gb pretty quickly. My gNex sits around 25 gb most of the time. I'm just finally tired of my gNex and putting up with it's sluggishness and poor reception - 2yrs is long enough.

My quandry....

Go ahead and pull the trigger on a good priced, pristine, used Moto x with only 16 gb (I'll have to let the Camera update come through and then re-root with RockMyMoto unless better suggestions).

I really am interested in root basically for tethering (when neededed-still have unlimited data plan) and root apps and Xposed.

Thoughts? Suggestions? RockMyMoto going to be difficult? (seems mixed from reading through the threads - Windows machine here)

Thanks All!
[Moto X Q&A] jayboyyyy:
rockmymoto is pretty simple if you follow that windows thread. I mean relatively simple. Plenty of people ahve done it that don't know much about what they are doing.

I'd pull the trigger on the 16gb. Basically you are buying it used and will be able to turn around and sell it for close to the same price if you realize that 16gb isn't enough. That is the only reason i say pull the trigger. If you absolutely need root, then make sure you never accidentally take an OTA in the future until a root exxploit has been released for that OTA, or a workaround has been released to maintain your root while taking the OTA. I'm in the same boat as you with needing root on my phone (different reason than you but still need it) so I typically don't take OTAs until later on down the road when I know for a fact that I can have root on it. I'm still on Stock FW and running the camera OTA through safestrap.

Since you have 25gb on your gnex, if you actually use all of that, then you need the 32gb clearly. That is just a call you have to make.
[Moto X Q&A] Dburgessme2:
I appreciate the quick reply! I'll certainly need to weigh the space issue. I now have a Nexus 7 as well so I'm not finding the need to keep quite as much on my phone. And, really don't need to worry about having CWM or TWRP backups so much either if I'm keeping basically stock. (gotta love Xposed!)

Thanks!

You may need a different cable. Some cheap cables only allow the S3 to charge at 150 ma. On a normal charger and cable I get charged in about 3 hours.

>user@linuxormac: bash ./unltlauncher.sh

If you extract it in /home/user/unlt, the path to the .sh must be /home/user/unlt

so you have to type:

>user@linuxormac: cd /home/user/unlt

>user@linuxormac: bash ./unltlauncher.sh

Note: If you're running on a 64 bits Linux OS, please install 32 bits libraries. If you're running on Linux and you didn't configure UDEV rules for your device, please run the script with superuser permissions(sudo bash unltlauncher.sh)
