I received a $20 coupon from RadioShack and the price drops to $40, so I take a chance to give a try.

The case is two-layer and you have to put on inner then outer. Fortunately, lining up between layers is easy (don't forget I hate this type of case due to headache of lining up layers).

There are two additional covers on headphones and USB jacks which give some more protection. The buttons are rather easy to be pressed.

It comes with a screen protector, but I don't need it because my note3 has Xgear glass plate installed and the case does not interfere the glass plate.

The only downside is the outer part of the case is slippery and it slips out of my hand pretty easily.

I didn't choose the model with belt clip because I don't need it.

If you want to buy Otterbox and you have $20 coupon from Radioshack, it's a good chance to get.

Hello,

Is there any way to either set the SMS notification volume explicitly or to make it behave like the phone volume?

As it is now it follows the device volume, which I most often turn off to stop getting annoying beeps and clicks.

andreakn - Did you ever get a fix for this? If so I would love to hear what it was.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] lozzd:
I have exactly the same problem/annoyance.

I wondered why I kept missing texts, and it was because I had the volume turned right down. I only assumed it was controlled via the phone volume as that would be sensible but apparently not. Anyone know of a way to fix this?

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] TauTau:
I use PocketZenPhone, and there you have to set device volume to at least 01 to get any SMS sound or Vibration. On that level though there aren't any beeps and clicks...

PZP uses the devices standard controls, so the conclusion is, SMS sound are dependent on the device volume, not the phone volume, but when you set it to the lowest level you can have at least vibration.

Well for phones without external SD card like my Nexus 4 and Moto G, the memory for use to the user or connecting your phone to PC and modifying files like a USB drive is called a SD card here on XDA (I think), so don't worry about the terms. Hope its clear and hope this helps.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the th1ng:
Hello to everybody.

In the process of porting ColorOS on Sony Xperia Z (C6603) I’ve probably done something wrong because when I reboot the phone won’t turn on, the diodes are off. My PC recognize the phone as Qualcomm HS-USB Qdloader 9008. I understand the bootloader is damaged. Is there anyone who can provide me with recovery instructions without JTAGG or RIFF box? May be it can be done through QSTP and HDDRawCopy.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alnikki25k:
Sure the bootloader is damaged? I mean what does FlashTool tell you when you connect the phone in flash mode?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hellscythe:
from my experience with my old HTC Incredible S, and from what i understand, the bootloader will remain intact unless fiddled with, its just the phone doesn't know what to do after the bootloader stage.

my incredible S also got that HS USB message at some point, but i didn't touch the bootloader.

however if you did mess around with the bootloader then thats a different story.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the th1ng:
Yes, I’m sure that it’s the bootloader. Because the phone does not respond to any buttons pressing, neither the turn on button nor the volume button. When the phone is connected to the PC and you turn it on, there is only a sound of a connected device. The phone doesn’t respond. Both the screen and diodes are off. FlashTool asks to connect the device, although any actions don’t let it happen.

In QSTP-eMMC Software Download it is recognized, but I need the files xml, hex and mbn for my phone. So I would try to restore the bootloader. But I don’t know where to find these files and how to use this program in the right way. That’s why I’m asking whether there is some kind of instruction.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:
First, you need to detail exactly what you did/what you flashed to your device to end up in this situation. Nobody can really provide any meaningful assistance without this information.

I will start off by saying that if you wiped or wrote over /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 then your device is permanently hard bricked. That is the trim area (TA partition) for this device and tampering with it will irreversibly brick your phone.

What happens when you connect your phone to your PC via USB when holding either volume +/-? (Try both).

I'm not sure of your knowledge on this phone, so forgive me if you already tried that.

If you damaged/destroyed your bootloader, then I don't think there are any tools available to write one back to your device and I don't think recovery tools from other devices are any use for the Z.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the th1ng:
I flash the stock of Color OS from Oppo Find 5 with a minor changes...I forgot o delete mbn files from it..I think that is problem...How I can verify that I wrote over /dev/block/mmcblk0p1?

yes I'm tryied to connect while holding the volume buttons...and nothing

QSTP view my phone...maybe...it can be restored
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:
According to this post by a RD, QDLOAD doesn't work for this device.

Check the update script for the rom you flashed to your phone to see what you did.

Edit - This post by [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] contains an image listing the partition table for our device. If you flashed anything to a partition used by the bootloader or to the TA, then it seems you have permanently bricked your phone, unfortunately.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the th1ng:
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system", "/system");

ifelse(getprop("ro.build.soft.majorversion") == "1",ui_print("major version checked"),(wipe_data();wipe_cache()));

unmount("/system");

ui_print("format /system...");

format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system", "0", "/system");

mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system", "/system");

That's a part of update-script from build that I flashed
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the th1ng:
Any solutions? Or It's over?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:
I'm not sure what you want anyone to say/do.

If you're capable of porting a rom, then you should be able to check if you wrote to a partition used by the bootloader or the TA. If you did, then your phone is unfortunately permanently dead.

Sorry.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigpappa:
Edited 2/11/2014. I am running Sprint ZVA, stock. Removed "sprint variant" from title due to a tmobile report as well of same issue.

Have found a problem with my G2 that only seems to occur when running miracast. I recently purchased the tronsmart t1000 to miracast from my G2 5o my Sony bravia tv. Now the tronsmart runs the Ezcast app available from the Google play store.

When activating miracast you use the ezcast app. However once connected you can exit from the app. It does not run in the background. The miracast service is on, wifi remains on but the phone data connection is what is being used. Everything is fine but when I run a video app be it Netflix, crackle, or any other my phone (via battery monitor) reaches 48°C within about 10-15 minutes of streaming. Video performance begins to suffer at that point and lags, stutters, etc.

I have disabled every background service I can think of. No syncs, no gps or location services on. I am running stock zv9, bebloated (frozen via titanium), rooted. I had the same issue on zv8. I have also used the screen off app to eliminate extra heat from the screen being on during casting.

I will note that I had this same problem before I even rooted my phone and debloated it on the stock zv8 rom.

I have contacted the ezcast folks in china but they say their tests with G2 do not overheat although they cant test netflix and the like because of being in a different country. I contacted netflix to see if I could report the problem and they acted like useless tools. One rep even told me that LG writes the netflix app so I need to report it to LG... lmao.

So, Im turning to xda to see if maybe others have this problem or know of a fix. Im glad to provide what info I can if it hasnt already been covered. In my research Ive found the thermal throttling doesnt kick in and sut down the phone till about 55°c or so. Im certain the phone is getting close enuff to 50°c that I need to be concerned about long term damage to my G2 if this continues.

Ill add that even during dlna streaming the phone is getting hot but not as bad as miracasting. The phone also gets up around 45°c when using a slimport. I really would like to figure this out. I do have best buy return coverage for my phone but would like to avoid swapping it and having to pay $150 to do so.

Does anyone have this problem or know how to correct it?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vPro97:
Well if it's the CPU then don't worry that much. 55 degrees is a safe operating temperature. If it's the battery temperature then you're ****ed, so I'm quite sure it's the CPU temperature ;).

You don't really have many options other than cooling down your phone while miracasting using a fan or whatever you have avaliable. As for the lagging/stuttering it's because the phone starts throttling down in order to avoid very high temperatures. If you cool down your phone, the lag would go away but you can also disable thermal throttling from the hidden menu (which will cause your CPU temperature to skyrocket).
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigpappa:
Im using batt monitor widget. It said 50°c last night on a second go around with absolutely every background service stopped. If I was to disable that throttle via hidden menu, then my phone would surely fry. So I appreciate the idea, and read that whole thread before I posted here, but its probably not adviseable for my situation to let the phone get hotter than it is now.

Edit on my first post. I did mean Im on ZVA now, not zv9. It was a late night last night. lol.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigpappa:
Well I wrote to LG tech support outlining my issue. Havent heard back. I did try to run my wife's htc one with my miracast setup. While streaming her netflix via miracast the phone reached 40°C and was stuttering a bit, but it didnt get any hotter. I let her htc one cool down and launced crackle, and hulu plus and her phone never went over 37.9°C.

Leads me to believe that this is caused by a couple of factors. Maybe something in the netflix app in combination with the G2's miracast functionality. All I know is that netflix streams hotter, but other video apps run almost as hot on my G2.

I could really use some advice from a battery or cpu guru cause Im at a loss here.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wolfclan68:
Since you're rooted why don't you throw a kernel with kernel tuner and knock the processor clock speed down while you're streaming. I know you shouldn't have to, but you may need to. Running it at say 1.2 - 1.5 ghz should still run fine and keep it cooler.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigpappa:
I could certainly try but Ive never implemented anything like that before. Not quite sure I have enough knowledge. Is there a resource in plain english that a beginner on that road would understand?

Id rather not have to go that route. I usually stick mostly to stock except for a few tweaks here and there. Im not opposed to learning tho.

Im suprised Im the only one this is happening to. There must be others miracasting netflix and such. I was hoping for a simple fix. I dont think Ill have such luck.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steamer86:
I miracast to my vizio stock(only rooted) to stock (tv), no third party hardware or software, no high heat...
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigpappa:
Thanks steamer. Im really starting to think Im alone here. Guess Ill have to figure out if it software related. My project in a few days will likely be running a .tot. Heard back from LG. They suggest sending phone in for warranty repair. However I do have geeksquad coverage thru best buy so I may go that route. If it still overheats after reverting back to factory stock then I know its hardware related and will be able to hand my phone over for warranty.

I did get my phone the day it came out. Maybe I got a lemon.

This happened to me on my t mobile g2 the first hour I powered it on it was roasting my hand but when I went to settings and viewed what's draining the battery it was Bloatwear. So I rooted and used titanium backup to defeat them. A neat app to view what's running is memory booster then I Google search safe Bloatwear to delete and if it's OK I get rid of it. My T-Mobile g2 got glitch tho but when I got the d802 international version with no T-Mobile Bloatwear it didn't heat up at all
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigpappa:
Thanks, but Ive been there already. I use titanium and have froze all the bloatware. It makes no difference. I think im gonna try a .tot. I cant seem to get much help on this.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigpappa:
Well another update, kinda feel like Im talking to myself here... lol.

Restored to factory zv7 by doing a .tot and stayed unrooted without making any modifications. Pure Sprint G2. Downloaded the ezcast app and netflix only. Tried to miracast and phone still overheated. So now I know its gotta be either the ezcast software for the tronsmart dongle, netflix app, some kind of wifi bug, or a hardware issue.

Gonna leave the phone as is and head to bestbuy tomorrow and see about a warranty replacement. Only thing I can think of is I got one of those G2 that had thermal issues on release day. I know I heard more than a few reports back then but didnt think I had a problem. Not till now anyways.

If anyone has any other ideas tho please chime in. Ill update again if I get a new G2. We shall see.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whiskeypawz:
You aren't alone!! I just purchased a G2 from T Mobile last week & had exactly the same problem. I am using a Netgear P2TV3000 receiver. I've found that the phone heats up while connected via Miracast if I'm using other apps, just not as bad as it does w/ Netflix. I emailed LG about the problem & they said it was not a known issue & suggested taking it back to T Mobile. I did that yesterday & they gave me a new one. I took it home & tested it out...same problem. So I've given up & will be taking it back to return it for a completely different phone, probably a Galaxy S4. I'm really disappointed bec I really liked this phone. But Miracast not working properly is a deal-breaker for me. :(
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigpappa:
Glad to see Im not alone and its not just a sprint variant issue. Thanks for your post. Actually at best buy now and they are still deciding what 5o so. Their cell expert hasnt got a clue either. Everything he thought of I was like... been there done that.

Edit: That was a useless exercise in futility. Bestbuy said their service center would likely send the phone back to me.saying that this overheating is within normal operation.... HOW? Cause their people will not take the the time to actually test the miracasting. So Im stuck dealing with LG and a warranty replacement, if they will even do anything.

Please, anyone with miracast dongles... would you check and see if you can recreate my problem? Simply stream netflix via miracast via your mobile connection. Not wifi. Thanks if you are willing to test. Within about 15-20 mins you should see your temp spike. 30 mins in you will be near 48-50°c.

Id like to see if this is a more common issue.
