[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delicatefade:
My wife had a Samsung Captivate on Straight Talk (AT&T) that died so I got her a GSM unlocked Samsung Nexus S GT i9020 on Ebay. We used her previous SIM card. Everything works fine except the data speeds are Edge (2G) only. I called Straight Talk for about 2 hours today and they were stumped. At some point it got escalated to a supervisor and he eventually told me "we are going to update something over our network for you over the next few hours. Hopefully it will help." and got off the phone.

Still Edge speeds only.

The Ebay listing says

2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900

3G Network HSDPA 900 / 1700 / 2100

The APN settings are correct, verified on the Straight Talk website and on the phone today.

Did I get the wrong model? Help! Thanks!

Sorry if its the wrong thread to post in but I'm having trouble linking Google Drive with QuickOffice. It doesn't ask to sign in to Google and doesn't even have options to add any cloud storage. I'm on temasek's 4.4 ROM.

Any help would be appreciated.

anyway, this phone gets micro-scratches with pleasure :(

the gnex glass was much stronger
[Xperia Z1 General] shem2409:
The phone has an Anti-Shatter protective film on the screen. It's the film that scratches not the glass. The glass is tempered and is scratch resistant.

I personally use Nillkin Amazing tempered glass screen protector on top of ASF. Now that you have scratched it up you could consider removing it. Do bare in mind that you will loose the Sony logo and possibly your screen warranty ( dependent on the region)
[Xperia Z1 General] thegios:
aha ok ...

no, nothing serious, they can be seen only by an angle under strong light
[Xperia Z1 General] shem2409:
Consider getting a screen protector. The glass ones are awesome. There is a thread in Q&A section.
[Xperia Z1 General] Written:
Hey Shem.

Thanks for the video, that looks fantatsic.

One thing I would say is the protector doesn't seem to sit in line with the edge of the screen, almost a bit of an eye sore, but your scratch test has me wondering if it would be worth overlooking that for the clear protection it provides.

Is there any alternatives that you would recommend? I tried finding that particular thread you mentioned but not quite tracked it down. I'll keep digging :D

They were actually in the Accessories section (sorry for that). Tbh I am happy that the screen protector is not a perfect fit as it makes it easier to apply it to the phone. If you use a case that could also be a lifesaver.

I got mine from a polish equivalent of Ebay. I am afraid I don't know any other sources. Try ebay, amazon etc or google it.
[Xperia Z1 General] thegios:
And of course, I ordered the glass protector this morning and this afternoon the phone fell and got two chips in the protection film that can be clearly seen on white backgroud, and felt with the nails...

Is it difficult to remove the sony film?
[Xperia Z1 General] shem2409:
You will need something sharp and some patience. There is a video somewhere. Do a YouTube search.

Thanks for your reply. But still not working. I tried that 5× and still not working. I cant do anything. In normal recovery, i cant install Fix-recovery.zip or anything. I cant root my phone?.
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Sulaimanshariff:
Just follow step by step

1)connect your phone in download mode to pc/lap,make sure you have installed Samsung kies properly as odin will detect the drivers

2)check if the 'ID:COM' tab in odin is turned blue

3)now if its blue everything is fine and now with your phone connected,with 'ID:COM' tab in odin turned blue,select pda in odin and select cwm zip and untick auto reboot in odin.

4)then once u have selected cwm zip in pda and unticked auto-reboot hit START in odin.

5)after it says passed just unplug you phone and enter recovery manually by pressing VOL UP+POWER+HOME,now you should have cwm recovery

6)in cwm select install zip from sd card choose zip and select fix recovery.zip

7)after cwm says installation complete now again select install zip from sd card,choose zip from sd card and select update super su zip

8)FINALLY reboot system now and now you have a fully functional cwm recovery and have successfully completed rooting process:thumbup::D

Just Sharing

Well i had a same experienced with CWM acting like that on a Galaxy Grand, so i just share what i done to fix it.

The first i got my gadget, i let it update and all, and choose to Root it using CWM method.

at first it was goin well, Then i start going deeper by deleting stuff on system that i think i dont need like KNOX and others (Im acctually a NOOB do help me with what can i safely

deleted). what happen next when i restart my Phone, all stuck on the SAMSUNG Logo. so i redo the usual Flashing of Stock ROM n Reinstall the CWM. but its not working anymore.

The CWM like just gone from the Phone. after fiddling around, i realise when flashing CWM using ODIN3 v3.07. "i cant uncheck Auto-Reboot", i dont know why i cant, it just like

that. Luckly i still got my old backup of ODIN3 v1.85, in which i redo all the flashing and i can even uncheck the Auto-Reboot thing. Oh because the auto-reboot its

tick off in ODIN3 v1.85, after flashing, unplug ur phone and while in its download mode, press the button to straight away go to the recovery, if u reboot it all the

flash will not work. And Pooof all my problem fixed.

Got my Phone system back, CWM and Root working unlike before. Hope this Help people havin a same issue. sorry if i write somethin wrong since im a NOOB.

Press Thanks if needed:o

I have a very unique matter, the first problem is I have a S4 rooted, after I rooted the phone it seems work just fine for weeks, after that I decided to use a launcher, after I install Next Launcher 3D or Nova Launcher or Go Launcher the phone just go to bootloop situation, then I restored it via CMW method, after restore the phone back to normal condition, not only the launcher, if I install Beautiful Widgets or HD Widgets my phone go to bootloop situation again.

The second problem is after I rebooted my phone the language just change to default language, I mean every time, I already set it to US English in setting and Superuser Apps, but after the phone rebooted is just change to default language of the region.

All the flagships I bought since late 2011 had heating issues. Granted Z1 is a little worse but don't worry, iPad 3 gets hotter than this yet it works fine! but if you still worry: Phones warn you when they reach their temperature limit so you will be fine until you get that message! and if you did just clean the task manager and leave the phone for a while
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M-Dawg:
Haha what do you have against the Note 3? Ive read everywhere people arent that fond of it. Maybe it was because all those comments on it I read in this subforum haha. Do you notice a type of rattling sound in your Z1 when you tap it on different parts? not alot but minimal, like the body isnt completely unified?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ara.armagedon:
The rattle is because of the camera lens. The lens needs a little room to jiggle in order to focus on target. All the phones are like this, including premium built devices like iPhone 4/4S/5/5S, HTC One/X/X+ AND LUMIA 1020 all of which I had or worked with, that God awful note 3 is no exception either! If you wanna know why I hate Samsung phones in general PM me on Facebook: Ara Rezaee. I don't have time to start a war here for no reason!
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SweFox:
Who would want low quality build, bad display etc when you can get premium phones like Z1, Z Ultra ;)!

Seriously, you buy a new phone and the plastic frame looks like one of those parts you scissor out to build cars, boats, planes with glue. There's chips and black spots on the cheap plastic frame from the start.

Not to mention how friggin HOT samsung phones get. I'm glad I got some sense into me even if it took a all these years to switch, I was scared but damn, I'm glad I did it.

On another note, I hope Sonys phones in the future never have glossy plastic, that's really disgusting.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M-Dawg:
Word bro. My S3 got to 45 degrees from having chrome and g+ open. Its one of the main reasons i switched. (and also the less than premium feel and look.) Shure the Z1 is a bit heavier than most phones, but i guess being the best looking android phones comes at the cost of weight.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hondaguy:
The first z1 I had would become warm after medium usage and I found that the battery would drain quick. I exchanged it and my current one runs cooler with much better battery life. As long as your battery life is good I would not worry about the phone being a little warm

Just be careful in placing your phone in cool water when its hot since glass are very prone to cracking when there is a quick change in temperature.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hermantje:
Since this thread is about Z1 Temperature, does anyone know what water temperatures are recommended for drowning the Z1 in?

Shower water must be OK, since the original Z was advertised as 'a phone you could take with you in the shower', but shower temperatures vary depending on the person. It may get very hot, above 40 degrees Celcius.

Also, cool temperatures like what you get with a sink should be good as well, but how much colder can you go?
