[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benziii:
Get a replacement, or get another smartphone altogether.

Now hear me out!

Your are inducing this.

The phone is sealed and armed with the latest chipset.

Suprised it gets hot?

I'm happy it lets you know, so the camera doesn't take damage.

It's a pointless test

You seem like you maybe would be happy with something else?

Is this something you face often (like just gaming a few minutes and then switching to camera), and other combinations which you do not intentionally set off?

If all the other symptoms you are reporting all over the forum are not very overplayed, and indeed crippling your device, the outfall is the same, no?

Get a replacement or try differently!

I've taken recordings lasting over ten minutes and used way longer fiddeling with the camera app going, and not a single crash to date.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
Probably do not effect in recording...only when making pictures...
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
My friend, I just reporting the issue which people have the right to know. Everybody know if you don't want any problem get an iPhone.

Am I the unlucky here with this phone? Fine, that 's why I am here, I am here for help and share.

You are here only to complain about what people saying.

I am only disappointed and I don't want to give up on this High-End Phone but you don't help me even a bit.

Someone probably will be worry if the phone get hot, have issue or the camera will crash in some circumstances, so to understand that your are free to test the phone, like I do, to understand how use it with any option.

Am I wrong?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benziii:
You are perfectly allowed to do whatever you want with it, as you bought it, it is yours to meddle with :)

It is however when you start to post your uncertain findings and experiences as almost facts, that it becomes misleading.

This could hardly help people who are already confused about buying this phone.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
On XDA with any device this will be a problem . You know why we are here for. We are here to solve issues, so if somebody want to buy a device should not come in Q&A, Hepl & Troubleshooting, right?

I believe in the potential of XDA, like all the time, so if you don't want people be confused and misleading, help me or tell me is not a problem my camera.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
BTW, my camera crashed after 3 minutes, what I wrote in bold was just an example when you use the camera more than that. (3 minutes)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benziii:
I do think it is important to shed light on all the issues and let the public get the full picture.

I'm on my second sony phone now (Didn't really fancy anything sonyericsson made) and wouldn't consider myself a fanboy.

My next device could be anything. RIght now however, I personally don't like the alternatives

If a problem gets mentioned alot, it is better to bump old threads, than make new ones all the time.

Just for the sake of consistency. Helps more when trying to gauge if an issue is widespread, instead of it being scattered all over.

I do not wish to drag this further, as my intention is not to be mean to you.

Also I am swaying off topic and sidetracking your thread.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
[MENTION=2405892]benziii[/MENTION], Ok but I really do not hear about this issue on XDA, I sarching on Google and few information I get and 1 video on Youtube, and actually the video reflect the exact same issue as mine.

Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVDygET6KHQ

So it's software problem related?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TwinsenMinothar:
I took +- 35 fast photos and the error didnt come, but the phone heats up a bit.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
Maybe is not meant to be so stressed.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deathbringer:
I have taken more than 1000+ photos with my Z1 (The Sandisk Extreme Plus 64GB MicroSDXC is amazing), and I have yet to see it crash. *touch wood*

Yes, it gets hot after a while, but I've once taken 200+ photos for an event without shutting off the camera app or resetting the phone to cool it down, so it was on for nearly an hour but it never crashed and the battery held up fine, though I look funny in a sea of ppl with their fancy DSLRs.

So I assume you got a faulty phone and should get it replaced.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] homer285:
no probs here, can use the camera all day long and never crashes, is it possible you have many apps running in the background/.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LahiruRD:
It's not the camera. It happens due to heat. So to cooldown the processor, it will down clocked automatically. For example, If you run few benchmarks & then you start the camera, after a while you will get an error message from the camera. I had that problem. Benchmarks will stress the processor & GPU 100%. :)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
I was imagine that but I get the error when I was outdoor making pictures. That day I didn't run any benchmarks. Is not the camera, ok, is due to heat. Just worry why my phone get heat and get error just using the camera.

[Moto X Q&A] jonnythan:
Has anyone actually used both a "non-slip" back and a "smooth clean" back Moto X? Is there an actual difference in how slippery the phone is?

Trying to decide between a Dev Edition or Mint back for a replacement device.
[Moto X Q&A] 640k:
do you mean smooth vs. woven? others have posted that the non-woven backs are actually more tacky than the woven ones.
[Moto X Q&A] jonnythan:
Well right now I have royal blue, which is described on Moto Maker as "soft nonslip." Woven black has the same description.

Mint, however, says "clean and smooth."
[Moto X Q&A] 640k:
maybe that's just a description. vzw has the backs displayed like a peacock. they all had the same rubberized coating. if you want/need additional tack, you could always get a case.
[Moto X Q&A] jonnythan:
A case is not an option. Just looking for opinions on people who have held and used both.
[Moto X Q&A] Solutions Etcetera:
The smooth backs are definitely more slippery. The are a harder plastic without any kind of soft touch/rubberized feel to them.
[Moto X Q&A] Johmama:
I have the Dev Edition with the woven back and I gotta say that it's pretty slippery. I can't compare to the solid colored backs because I've never held one in my hand. Just chiming in that the woven backs are pretty slippery. It really surprised me because in the pictures, the woven back looks like it would be more 3D; like they would have the actual feel of a back made of woven materials instead of just a paint job to look like it. I know that was the point, it just took me by surprise is all.
[Moto X Q&A] jonnythan:
Interesting, and unfortunate. I wonder if the black woven back has a different texture than the white woven, because the black says soft non-slip.

Not that I want the black woven back. I guess I'll be avoiding the Dev edition *and* the Mint back. Too bad.
[Moto X Q&A] Solutions Etcetera:
I have not felt the white woven back, but the black one is pretty grippy (much more so than the light colored smooth backs). They are not painted, but actually woven. The pattern comes from some translucency in the plastic that shows the underlying fibers.

If you go to a carrier store, they usually will have a black woven back and most of the colors that you can feel.
[Moto X Q&A] funmerlin:
Yeah the black woven is pretty grippy. Almost rubbery.

My wife's blush (the light pink) back is smoother and less grippy.
[Moto X Q&A] gtg465x:
Black and white woven feel completely different. I have both. White woven is smooth, hard, and slippery. Black woven feels like silky rubber if that makes sense. It's not super grippy, but definitely more grippy than the white woven.

Just read the descriptions for each color on Motomaker. It says which ones are soft touch and which are hard / smooth.
[Moto X Q&A] larry62:
Went to an ATT store and felt the different backs. The darker colors seem to be more grippy. I made a note that: Olive, Navy, Royal Blue, Black, Cabernet and Crimson were the ones with grip. Not sure about the woven ones.
[Moto X Q&A] jonnythan:
I was just at Best Buy and this is definitely the case. The non-slip colors have a rubbery texture that the smooth ones lack. White woven does not have it. That said, it seems to be just as tacky with a light touch.

Thanks.
[Moto X Q&A] gtg465x:
Yeah, the hard, smooth colors can occasionally be tacky. If your hands are warm, a little clammy, have a bit of moisture on them, the hard, smooth backs stick pretty well. If your hands are cold or dry though, they can be very slippery.
[Moto X Q&A] jonnythan:
Thanks, that's a good point. I'll probably go "reverse-dev-edition" with a woven black back and white front, with blue accents.

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vol4life27:
So I have a RAZR MAXX HD that has been rooted running Cyangenmod 10.2 and bootloader unlocked for a few months now. But the last couple weeks, each time I plugged phone up to charge, it kept starting a reboot loop. Each time it reached the start of Cyanagenmod boot logo, it restarted. So I thought maybe it was a bug in the latest Cyangenmod. So I tried updating. But I didnt realize that I accidentally chose Cyangenmod 11, thus when it was installing in Clockwork Mod Recvoery, it errored out about 1/3 of the way through. This erased everything.

So I was going to try hooking up to my MacBook and using fastboot to load new OS. However, as soon as i plugged in my phone, my computer shut down and would not turn back on. Had to go to Apple store to do a hard SMC reset. Thought that was a fluke and tried using my computer again and same thing happened. Phone still has CWM recovery working (i think properly). How do I get a working phone again? I tried putting OS on SD card on another phone and putting SD card my MAXX HD in and trying. That installed OS fine but when i rebooted, it still would not go past "bootloader unlocked" warning screen.

Also, I tried once more to plug in to my computer once more last night. However, it did not shut my computer down, but I did get a warning from OSX to unplug the USB device that was consuming too much power.

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bweN diorD:
i would tend to be more concerned as to why its drawing to much power before trying to get it working again. did you try another usb cable? and check the charging port for debris? seems like something is causing a short circuit. this wouldnt be noticable while charging normally except it would likely take longer than it should to charge. if you rule out the things i have suggested above and its still has the short then there is likely a hardware issue, which over time will certainly get worse to the point of failure.

i dont see how a software issue would effect the charging circuit, i could be wrong.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vol4life27:
Thanks for replying. I have tried multiple USB cables and they all do the same. And I know it isnt my computer USB slot since other devices/phones do not trip my power on my MacBook. Do you or anyone else who might read this reply know if I could send the phone in for repair under warranty considering it is rooted and bootloader unlocked? Im not too sure if unlocking the bootloader could cause power issues like this and if companies would even help for hardware issues since it is rooted/unlocked.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bweN diorD:
i don't see how rooting or unlock the bootloader could cause this as they are both generally software.

sending it in under warranty is a big risk imo, you would be better off if it was fried and they couldn't see the bl unlock and root. if they see it, they could likely bill you for the replacement phone, if they don't notice, you will likely get a refirb that's updated past the point of unlocking. so there will be no more modding. plus the phone is a couple years old, personally i would look to upgrade.

just some food for thought.

btw, i shelved my rmhd for a g2, the rmhd is a great phone, but the g2 just blows it away in almost every aspect.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vol4life27:
Thanks man.. Yea i was kind of thinking the same thing but wasnt too sure. Maybe I can go somewhere locally and see if they can repair it for cheap. After having a phone that goes 1.5 days on one charge, I got spoiled. LOL plus I love the build quality much more than most oter phones like S3/4 etc.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gold3ndrag0n:
Hi guys I searched the forums and didn't see any mention of this besides somebody with a Sprint version of the phone talking about it. I bought an AT&T G2 D800 over the phone with them, they shipped it to me and it was fine for a day or so until AT&T rolled out the D80010o firmware then my phone started getting strange battery drains and in call volume setting keeps reverting back to 90% every time I reset the phone, so I brought it in and exchanged it for a new one. Herein lies the problem.

On this new G2, I noticed that every time I would go to make a call, the signal drops down from 4GLTE to just regular 4G. That never happened to the phone I brought in to exchange. Granted I don't remember making a call before I did the firmware update so I can't say for sure if it did it before the software update but I doubt it since the notes on AT&T's site said it was mainly making the phone ISIS capable. The reason I noticed the difference right away was because up until that point I'd never seen the 4G icon on the G2, so I saw it right away. I was still in my car testing the phone so I came back into the store to ask them if that was normal, they said it was. One guy even said it happens to his iPhone too. Since there was 3 of them saying it was normal, I walked back out. I went home and did some more research and it seems like the G2 supports "LTE (SVLTE, CSFB, CA, VoLTE, RCS, MIMO)" taken from: www lg com/global/g2/sub3 html (sorry it won't let me post outside links) and also like I said, my previous G2 didn't do that.

I need help confirming from other AT&T LG G2 D800 owners that their phone doesn't do the same thing, that when you make a voice call in an area where you're getting 4GLTE, the radio doesn't drop down to just regular 4G. The minute I hang up it goes back up to 4GLTE and I'm staying still in one spot so it's coverage, and my entire has always had LTE coverage. Please let me know before I bring it in for another exchange as the AT&T I went to the customer service was terribad, I'd like to go in there with certainty so that if push comes to shove, I'll just tell them to open a new G2 and test it on the spot to see if it does that. Any help would be much appreciated, thank you.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] votinh:
Confirmed on the 4GLTE -> 4G on voice call -> 4GLTE.

Never paid attention b4 and don't know whether it supposed to be that way or not.

And yes, with the D80010o firmware, battery seems to drop quicker than expected

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] born_fisherman:

And if you are using a custom rom you may have to do this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2569237
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gold3ndrag0n:
Nope, there isn't. The 4GLTE disappears the the 4G icon replaces it at the same spot or vice versa. I'd try turning off the phone for a while and then turning it back on, or swap out the SIM. The guy at my AT&T store told me sometimes it's an activation thing where it can take a day or two to be "fully" activated and get full 4GLTE.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] EP2008:
I haven't driven in years due to chronic illness and since my wife has been using the car she's gone through over a half dozen car adapters!

I've tried official Samsung car chargers (two of them), one expensive one from Bell Canada, several that you plug a separate usb cable to and maybe three others that that were simply "generic car chargers"... they simply stop working after a few months and I don't know what else to do.

I'm in Canada so we have cold winters and fairly warm summers and we've tried leaving the chargers in the car all the time (which is what I've done in the past with out problems) and her keeping them in her purse and using it when needed, but they still "die" quickly.

What charger would you recommend for durability? I don't want to spend $50 on a charger, since replacing them every few months isn't an option, but I'll consider anything that works.

Thanks in advance.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] timtampa:
Scosche best IMO

I have used Anker batteries and battery packs and they work well. Their car chargers though I've had issues with, as they never actually put out the output they claim to.

Now, I've used an earlier model Scosche charger from YEARS ago and it's still going strong. I recently upgraded to this one because it truly does put out 2 amps for my Note 2 so it will charge my phone WHILE I'm using it.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003N7NO4Q

Please keep in mind, the usb cable being used does play a HUGE part in how efficiently your phone will charge as well. I ordered the cables pictured here and they work like a champ. Yes, they are fake Samsung cables, but they work better than any other cable I've used for both data and charging.
