:fingers-crossed:Thought I would share this to save others money!

When I got my Note 3 they signed me up for the Jump! Program for 10 bucks a month! What garbage, it gives you device insurance with a $150.00 deductible and Lookout mobile. I got insurance from squaretradeDOTCOM for 125.00 for 24 months coverage($5.20/month) and only a $75.00 deductible. The 'locate your phone' that Lookout provides is already free to any Android 2.2+ device. Just go to Settings/Security/Device Administrators and check the box for Android Device Manager, now you can locate, ring, or wipe data from any browser by going to https://www.google.com/android/devicemanager

I am NOT paid by Squaretrade or Google. The 24 month plan is only for phones purchased within 30 days though, it's $7.99/month for older phones.

Note: This may not be the good for those who want to trade in their phones early though, I prefer to keep my devices so it works for me. Anyone know if the early upgrade option is tied to this?

Yup. Early upgrade is the entire point if the jump program. The insurance just an added bonus.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stratplayer:
A couple of weeks ago I noticed that my power button felt different on my Z1. At first I thought it was my imagination, but more and more I was sure something wasnt right.

Last week on the way to work, my colleague who also has a Z1 used my phone to look at something and his first comment was "Whats up with your power button??"

It has no definite feeling when pressing it, its almost impossible to tell if you have pressed it or not, it looks and feels recessed too.

When trying his phone it was exactly as I remembered it to be, when you push it you can feel as response (small click or resistance), on mine there is nothing!

So I contacted Sony Xperia, who were suprised by the described issue. Long story short I have to return the phone to them for a 5 - 7 day turnaround repair.

Anyone else had the same issue? Or even sent their phone back to Sony in the UK? I am a little concerned that once it is prised open to be repaired it will never be the same again! All in all, for the £550 I paid for a premium handset, it is the first one that I have had any hardware issues with.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
I saw a problem like that with a device of my friend and he felt exactly in the same way, it's a faulty botton, have to be replaced.

I can truly understand you. Same here. I always get a mid range phones and never had problems. This one I paid a lot of money, issues everywhere. I sent mine back to Sony as well, but for different reason.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stratplayer:
Was your device ok when it came back? All the edges aligned, sealed etc etc?? It is a worry for me, how do I know it is waterproof still for example?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
Mine do not come back yet, I sent it back via warranty 2 weeks ago. I will let you know. Anyway Sony Service have to provide best service for your phone and it should be still under warranty even when the phone come back to you but in which condition this is a mystery for all of us.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stratplayer:
They said 5 - 7 days on the phone Friday, if you sent it two weeks ago and are still waiting then that's pretty poor I think.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
I know but what I can do. At the moment are 10 working days. Next week I will start call them and complain to rush they asses. :)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NiM72NiK:
I have the exact same problem guys. repairing it needs a special technique? (for water resistance issues)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
I think is needed a experience because you have to take apart all phone and I will suggest to let do this job to Sony. And of curse it will have to be seal again to make the water resistance working again. If you do all of this the warranty will be gone.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stratplayer:
An update on mine, it got worse and now has been sent back for warranty repair at Sony, well they use a company called SBE Ltd in the UK

I'm not very impressed to be honest, this is the first phone I've had to return to the manufacturer for repair, this was meant to be a quality product. So there is at least 3 people with the same problem, maybe more who haven't noticed. Potentially there is an issue with the design or button component.

In so cheese off as I have to use a crappy Nokia Lumia 800 Windows phone for the period it is away!

I have been looking at a Nexus 5 or Note 3 as a replacement, selling mine on eventual return from repair..

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NiM72NiK:
at first i have rooted my phone so the warranty is already gone..and Because I live in Iran and there is no experienced or official Sony branches to do the stuff i have to pay a lot of money to ordinary people who have the tools for doing it and praying really hard to have my z1 remained water resistance..and another problem is that this button is very well designed and has a good material which it doesnt get gray or orange after a while.for sure the replacement doesnt have the same great quality and thats a failure :|
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
Ok, but if the button still working I think is not worth to open it and risk much more, BTW is not the button problem but the hardware component under the button.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samarth7b:
Z1 button issue

I'm from India and have the same problem with the button. I bought Z1 around October last year. The button started getting worse gradually from the beginning of January, and now there's absolutely no feedback on pressing. It almost feels as if there's a spring under the button.

If anyone has given the phone for repairs to Sony for this issue, please reply. I'm also worried about the waterproofing and other possible damage to the device, specially given the fact that it's got a non-removable back so opening up the device might be a mess.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xXFlippyXx:
I've seen a video on YouTube about the z

As far as the Z is concerned there are about 4 screws and the rest is glued. Front- and backside.

Now, you can guess if the phone is still waterproof after putting it back together.

Even with skilled techs and the appropriate equipment I highly doubt it.

Here is the link

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPN930fohyo&feature=youtu.be

It's a German video but I think the pictures speak for themselves.

Best thing you could do is to ask the repair center for a guarantee on wich you can depend on (written of course)

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ezzady:
Using my Z1 for nearly a month now and the device power button was slightly a bit wearing off but that wasn't my concern. I'm just worried bout the waterproof capability. If the Z was glue front and back, How long can it last with all those nature element?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
It can be forever if you use the device properly and you you keep in mind to don't use the flaps a lot and keep them clean. Flaps like that can do great job for 2 years without problem but time and natural degradation is on they way, so if you will replace the flaps after this time is fine to me. But if you keep leaving the phone in you car on dashdoard under the sun all the time clearly this can compromise the assembly and the sealing of the phone. So practically depend of how you use your phone.

---------- Post added at 07:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:12 PM ----------

Yes , opening the phone for a button will be a mess and maybe is not covered by warranty so if the button working well I will not be worry about it. The day when it will not work then you will get the new button.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stratplayer:
I started this thread, it is definitely a problem and you should get it repaired. Mine was sent back and now has been repaired, not very impressive for a "premium" handset!

It was only away for just over a week.

Yeah, I'm thinking of giving it in next week. Very disappointing from a flagship phone. Did yours show any visible sign of damage after repairs? Even scratches etc.?

Update

Great news I have my phone back from SBE Ltd, Ashford, Kent....

BAD NEWS... they have done sweet FA with the power button!! I am so angry! I called them to discuss the issue and they had all the details from Sony passed to them so there was no excuse. There is no way they could have checked it against a working unit, so I have just wasted 10 days.

Worse still I had to contact Sony again to get a new repair number to send it back to them, its a blooming joke! Sony has lost any future custom from me on the handset market!

So now tomorrow the phone will be returned for SBE Ltd (who are Sony Xperia's UK repair centre) to do what should have been done the first time, yet again I am without my "flagship" device!!
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
I can't believe an authorized Sony Center to repair faulty devices do such a kind of job. The shop where I brought mine said the same thing, they will give me all the papers from Sony Center of what was done on my device so I can't complain but if I will get a kind of adventure like yours I really will be angry very much. My phone will be back in few days, I will let you know what they did. I remember well my phone was like new, if I find scratches or the issue still there, i don't know! They screw all of us.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stratplayer:
It doesnt give you much faith that they will return me the phone with its original waterproof feature intact when they cant even see the problem/fix the problem of a simple power button.

The lady at Sony Xperia insisted they are fully trained in the waterproof capabilities, and that my remaining 2 years warranty would cover it.

It's the loss of the phone that annoys me the most, especially for no reason. I have gone out and bought a Galaxy Note 3 as I couldnt bear to be without a phone, it's going to be my new full time phone, the Sony (if/when) it is eventually repaired will be sold on Ebay!

For posterity I have attached a picture of an all too familiar pose of my Sony Xperia Z1, in a brown jiffy bag labelled for SBE Ltd.....

Z1 power button issue

I'm from Indonesia and my Z1 is also having the same problem. I bought it on November 2013. The power button is getting stained (not as shiny as before) and doesnt give a definite feel whether it is pressed or not. It is very annoying. I havent sent the phone to the official Sony here and in the meantime I'm using an app called "Awesome on/off" to stop making it worse.

Should I claim my warranty to official Sony here? Seems some people are having the same everlasting problem here. Kindly advise.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] augie7107:
I had a Xperia ZL and the power button fell completely off the device. Sony claimed misuse with no repair warranty. In my opinion, the power button is a marketing gimmick with inferior quality to power buttons on any of the other top cell phone manufacturers.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegahanggara:
Hey there. I'm from Indonesia too. Last new I read about Sony Indonesia is, they will take care your guarantee at any cost, especially for Xperia S800 like Z, Z1, Z Ultra, etc. I think you should go to Sony service center nearby to claim your guarantee. Make sure you not tell anything about something which break the guarantee, like unlocking bootloader, rooting, etc.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] fone_fanatic:
I get this too, it happens more often when i sync. I read somewhere that gwes.exe has something to do with the display drivers and i think it was on msdn someone suggested turning off cleartype to see if that stops the error.

I just turned off my cleartype right now, so we'll see if that error keeps coming up. As of tmail.exe i haven't looked into it yet.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] vijay555:
gwes is the graphical environment and other stuff, very low level, very important. It shouldn't crash, or your PDA won't work.

Tmail is effectively pocket outlook.

It's advised that you just disable error reporting off anyway, it just slows things down. If your system really crashes, you'll know about it anyway, who else to report to?!

Thanks its good to know l do like to swap for the newer device. I appreciate the post
[Galaxy Note 3 General] pete4k:
Yes, actually jump is for people who want to upgrade the phone in 6 months and if you one of those people, then insurance is free or something like $1, not sure exactly. But then jump is not for everybody, it wouldn't work for me because I keep most of my new phones for at least a year and don't want to pay for extra insurance. So, if you have jump, after 6 months you return your old phone and get a new one, details are on Tmo website with all the costs/benefits etc. I'm surprised reps didn't explain all of this to you, or you weren't listening?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Xproplayer:
Verizon may be expensive but at least they do things properly
[Galaxy Note 3 General] glassjosh:
This was mandatory for a financed device(according to the rep), and you can still get an upgrade any time you want if you pay off the phone. I was able to remove it since it obviously doesn't work for me so I thought I would share for others that it may not be the best option for. My only uncertainty is if you can trade in without paying for this later, which you didn't answer, please keep this productive. Thank you.

I was looking for information on the steps (if possible) for porting ROM's from other threads such as the galaxy S2. As I understand it the E4GT is just a variant of the S2. I have been able to do this in the past with my old Captivate porting from the i9000 threads. All that was required was to remove the Assert and then flash a compatible Captivate Kernel to then have a new working rom. I'm not sure of the exact differences in the specifications of the devices and any input would be appreciated.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Solution

You need to root your phone.

Also you must have Busy Box Installed.

Here is the link to Google Play of that busybox app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.busybox.installer

Don't install the few latest versions because it is in nightlies.

I use Samsung Galaxy Y and I use the version 1.18.2.

Reboot your phone after installation.

Also you must have script manager installed.

Here is the link to Google Play of that manager app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=os.tools.scriptmanager

Open Script Manager and give super user access.

Tap on Menu > Advanced Options > Config

Scroll down until you see Browse as Root

Tap on it and press the back button to save

Once again grant Script Manager SuperUser Access to save config

Exit Script Manager

Now again open Script Manager and browse for your script file (yamas.sh)

Tap on it and set properties to:

Favorites (Star Icon)

Root (Green Android Skull Icon)

After setting properties, tap on Run to execute the script installer.

When executed, it will do initial test, be patient and wait for it to complete its tasks.

Press thanks if I have helped.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :

Download a root checker app from the play store and check whether your phone is really rooted.

If no, try to root again by following tutorials on xda.

If yes, update su binaries.

Also go to settings / preferences of superuser app, and click automatic response and then select 'allow'.

That script was placed in sd card right?

Then it maybe the app which copies to a specified location before executing it.
