[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpl90:
Hi people,

I bought an Xperia Z in Germany and received it 2 weeks ago. Two days later I've seen a single line in the back glass (as I've posted in http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z/help/xperia-z-zr-ul-z-ultra-display-issue-1-t2515293/post52516947). I've done nothing to have that, but as I've read in many experiences, sometimes Sony just says "it's not our fault, it's misuse, you'd have to pay 180 EUR" or so and I think I couldn't do anything about it... And I wouldn't pay it and use it with a TPU covering it (and try to forget it :( ).

Apart from that, I have at least 3 dead pixels (only visible with the screen black/dark). I've read the Limited Warranty and they say "two pixels are considered acceptable", so I guess they will have to accept and change that.

My question is: provided they are two different problems, in no way connected one to another, if they refused to repair my back glass, would they have an excuse to also say "we won't change your display due to the misuse also"? I guess not, but I never had to sell anything to any warranty before...

And, the second question: I don't know how it is in other countries, but here in Germany they have an official service and I have to send it by post (only the cell phone, no battery or accesories) and pay myself the shipping. They never mentioned anything about the return shipping costs or any additional costs for analysing my phone. There are none, right?

When I ask these things they just ignore them and say "sent it to this address and we'll decide here and let you know"...

Thank you!

Where did you buy it? Your service partner is always the store you bought it at. So if I was you I'd contact the seller.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpl90:
Hi! Thanks for your answer!

I bought it at BASE, online. That's exactly what I've tried to do since the beginning, but they don't answer. I've sent 3 emails, called, chatted, been to BASE shops, etc etc but they keep ignoring me... If you're from Germany and know where I could go because of that (consumer rights or so?), would be great :). I haven't sent it with the "Widerrufsrecht" because I wanted to be sure that they would accept it and take me seriously and not say only "it's your fault, we aren't responsible for that". And now these 2 weeks are already over (I received it on April 25th)

Sony has anwered, though, but I have to pay this costs (and I don't feel it's fair, but I'd like to have it repair in less than 2 weeks, if possible).

Thanks again!
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] St.Jimmy90:
As I said, in this case BASE is your service partner, not Sony. Go to a shop and tell them that you will contact a lawyer if they won't repair / replace it.

Edit: You could try to send an email to this adress:

mein@base.de

If you did that, try to find out the email adress or phone number of a manager, you can find their names here:

http://blog.base.de/uber-das-blog/impressum/
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpl90:
Yes, I know that, and I really tried to contact them and they are truly unreachable. And the "young girls" in the shops have really no idea of what they say (they even gave me numbers that are "gesperrt"). They say they only sell phones with mobile service and the online shops are something completely different. And they won't take me that seriously as I'm not German. I hadn't expect this here, but apparently some shops are not that serious.

If there is an organisation that protects the client in these cases I would go, of course. But i think keep trying to call BASE is no use (they charge me 0,99 EUR each call only to say nonsense or to make me wait). That's why, if Sony could help (as some people say in the post I wrote in the first message), I'd prefer already to pay 3,8 EUR shipping costs and have it repaired by serious people (and as I really need to have this phone with me again in 2 weeks). But I want to know if they would be max. 3,8 EUR of if I should pay also return shipping or some other charges to get my phone back, repaired or not...

Thanks!

EDIT: Thanks for the additional info! I already sent emails to that and other addresses, but I'll check out that blog and find someone specific.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] St.Jimmy90:
If they don't respond and you need it soon take the Sony service.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpl90:
Hi! Sony covered the repair costs :).

I just sent the phone with a short description of the two problems (5 dead pixels and the cracked glass) and they repaired the phone and gave it back to me in less than 4 or 5 days. The repair centre here in Germany is w-support

And I contacted Base and asked for the shipping costs (4,5 EUR) and they gave them back in credit for my phone. Not ideal, but not that bad, either.

Thank you!

Hey guys wish you're having nice days

I've flashed Galaxy s5 mini Rom lately on my nice International samsung galaxy s3 and actually this rom is more than amazing..but I've been complaining about the very high Ram usage because of the animated ink bubbles in lock screen..and it lags a lot and I don't prefer the NoN lock screen type

so can I have Galaxy s5's latest lock screen?

or at least the light effect of samsung galaxy s4

Thanks so much I'm a new subscriber on XDA but I'm an old user and I'm good at android world and flashing custom roms so I would understand everything you say

Hi,

Just letting you guys know that Orange TV is now available for the M5000.

Theres a link on the Orange WAP home page. Costs £10 per month and the data traffic usage doesnt come out of monthly data bundles.

Tried a couple of channels and must admit was pleased with the quality (It uses PV Player and can go full screen)....and theres loads of channels.

Only works when in 3g coverage though.

....sorry if this is old news but I only found it last week.

Matt
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] AlanJC:
Just bear in mind that it's only 20 hours per month, so you can't even watch it for an hour a day!

Not that there's anything worth watching for an hour a day from the channels currently available to be honest.

Also, the 20 hours is a rough estimate based on 1gb of use, and above that 1gb it's charged at 50p per mb, so based on those figures, if you watched 21 hours, you would be billed an extra £25!

A bit pathetic to charge that much for some pretty crappy channels.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] xqizit:
I subscribed yesterday and have had a bit of a play around with it...

TV is such a strong and incorrect word to use to describe it......

...I would be more inclined to describe it as.... very low res, jerky video that it is totally out of sync with the audio.... I wont even start about the audio quality either....

:(

Why even put cnn as a channel if you cant even see the news tickers or text on the screen!

With all due respect its a great idea/service in theory but in practice the data transfer capabilities and/or stability of 3G isnt yet up to scratch to make this a useful/enjoyable service.

...and that is with full 3G reception in central London.

I will be unsubscribing as soon as I have an hour to waste waiting on the phone to Orange Customer support....

Its a shame that you must use 3g to access it... Surely it would have been great to allow wireless networking access to it.... Maybe then they could have had a higher res and quality version of the channels too...

Anyway... my 2 cents worth...

X.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] AlanJC:
I tried it on my Nokia N70 last year when it was launched, and I must say I was pretty impressed with the picture quality, but then the dot pitch and resolution was optimised for that, and not for a VGA display, which would probably make it so blocky it becomes unwatchable.

I think it should be free on all tariffs of £35 or more, and paid for on the lower tariffs. It would mean more people went for a higher tariff to get the value added services, rather than paying specifically for something that's crap.

Hi , on my note n7105 my phone suddenly stopped recognizing my sim. It keeps saying 'No Sim, insert sim card" despite the sim card working ( i tested it on another phone)

My phone shows network bars despite it saying i have no sim card inserted. When i have remove the sim card, my phone still says i have network signal. My phone is rooted but running stock rom 4.3 . I have tried factory reset and it is still not working.

How could this happen suddenly? I have not dropped my phone recently or anything.

Faster Android Mobile

Getting suitable ROMs for china android mobiles are little bit difficult. If you flashed unsupported rom, your mobile will get bricked. Till you flash custom rom, make your device fine.

First you may root your device. For rooting china android mobiles first of all download Moboginie or pdanet on your pc, connect your device to pc it will install drivers automatically for your device. Then download and install "VRoot" latest version on pc, connect mobile, vroot will find your device. Click on root, after 5 to 10 seconds your mobile will be rooted.

Now download Minitool Partion Wizard for partition your sd you may search thread for partition sd. Create fat32 partition around 1gb. This will be your ext2 partition on sd card. Now download and install Link2sd on your mobile. Run Link2sd if 2nd partition will not detected by link2sd. Install and Open Root Explorer, go to system/etc/install-recovery.sh, if there is no such file then create it. In install-recovery.sh file type this lines.

#!/system/bin/sh

#added by link2sd

LOG=/data/link2sd-install-recovery.log

echo "$(date) mounting..." > $LOG

mount -t vfat -o rw /dev/block/vold/179:2 /data/sdext2 1>>$LOG 2>>$LOG

mount -t vfat -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /data/sdext2 1>>$LOG 2>>$LOG

mount >> $LOG

echo "$(date) mount finished" >> $LOG

echo "$(date) mount finished" >> $LOG

For more details go here for solution. Now your mobile got sufficient internal storage. Now download Ram Expander and install, set swap file size as you wish and run swap, now you will get more ram on your device.

Enjoy faster android device.

Somehow Nokia Lumias are managing to have an always on screen using plain ol LCD and not OLED tech... apparently the battery drain is minimal something like 1% a day.... the author reckons that it's something to do with the screen brightness being really reduced or something...

Is this possible to implement with the Truesmart because this would really be a killer feature!!!

Hey guys, sorry for all the newb posts ... I gave a try of a few ROM's and wasn't entirely happy with bits and pieces so I am going back to my ROM basically after setting up my phone from the initial Root and DRM key backup procedure. When I go to PhilZ dual recovery, and try adn restore it successfully restores teh system but not the data, and fails the restoration procedure.

From Googling, it seems i need to flash something over my phone to bring it back to a previous state, then the Nandroid will be compatible to restore? Is there a step # in teh guide that I should start from, or should I just start the entire root process from scratch again?

Hi

So my boyfriend's phone is booked in for a service with Sammy this week (media server draining battery). But it's rooted so I am concerned they will say they won't repair/replace, and I won't be there to argue for him.

I've googled and can't seem to find a straight answer as everyone says something different (or maybe I just don't like the answers I'm finding... Ha)

Is there a way to unroot the i9505 without data loss for warranty?

(it is also likely I've just completed missed something. Feel free to point me to a thread or post on here I may have missed and call me blind :) )

Edit: running stock rom, CF rooted
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
Just reflash the stock firmware with Odin. Flashing firmwares with Odin never wipes your device, unless you select the option "re-partition".

And for the media drain, does he use an external sd card? If so, then format that sd card. That generally solves media drain issues. I think media drain is never a hardware problem, so I don't know why you even would send it in.

Did you try a factory reset?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikkitaw:
Thanks! That's what I thought re Odin, but got confused by all the other info I saw. I'll just Triangle Away and then flash via Odin like I originally thought.

And no to an external Sd card. I think he just managed to get a faulty one.

Yep, tried factory reset.

Hello guys,

it looks that this is the best forum for these smartphones around the world.

Wonderful work and information.

Maybee you can help me to answer me a simple question.

I have bought a Vodafone VPA compact II on ebay.

Now i want to install some soft like overclock and Skype and so one.

But first i want to put the best rom on it, which is fast and tweaked.

Ok i found very much Tweaks.

But where i must look for the Roms, is my VPA a Wizard ?

What is the exactly Model name of the original model (VPA compact II is the name from Vodafone) ?

Can i use every Wizard ROM for it ?

Can it be a T-Online rom or also a Mr. Cleans ......

It is german also ?

The VPA that i bought should not be netlocked, but if i play a new ROM on it must i unlock it again ?

I want to use a EPLUS card.

Thanks

Greetings from Germnay

If you want to use EPlus try an EPlus-Rom.

Du kannst in Prinzip jedes Rom nehmen.

Wenn Du Eplus benutzen willst nimm ein Eplus Rom.

Hi all,

I'm finding to fix the bug up/down picture in cm11 rom.

After a logcat I've see that the error depend on nv0mxCamera like catlog has registered:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52561624&postcount=459

The sensormode goes to 0 after the error

After some googling about the error seems that the problem depends on a setting parser nvomxcamerasettingsparser.cpp where after some pictures and/or a rotation screen camera change in stereomode with crashing and reset the camera (maybe I'm wrong).

I've found a chinese blog with some information about the back camera HAL but I don't know chinese language.

Anyone could translate this page? With google translator i can't understand anything :cyclops:

Pretty much nobody but [MENTION=3783116]pengus77[/MENTION] can fix it as its mostly caused by the 3.1.10 kernel.
