[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amix12:
Hey Guys,

Just got my new Xperia Z2 2 days ago, the phone looks nice. Compared to the Samsung Galaxy phones I had before (S4 & Note 2), the Z2 feels like a real phone especially with the glass frame.

The phone is fast with a nice camera, the only comment about it is "too much bezel" which I think SONY could've done a better job by "trimming" the huge bezel....

Today I unlocked the bootloader and was about to root the phone when all of a sudden the screen went black with no light at all :(

Tried to reset the phone, reboot....etc. nothing really worked, I did some search and found out that this is a common issue with the Xperia Z & Z1 as well and looks like Z2 is having the same issue..

Just had to take the phone back to the SONY store, they didn't have a replacement and they told me that If I needed a replacement, that'd be back order and I'd have to wait another month !!!

Also, they were hesitant about returning the phone and told me if I used it for over 30 min., then they can't return it and they'd have to sent it for repair....luckily I had used only 25 min. !!!

Just be aware of the issue. Also, does anyone know if the black screen issue is very common on the Xperia ?? I liked the phone and was thinking about buying another one.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaf46:
hmmm, if i was you i would use the phone as it is and wait for some couple of months before rooting it since it is new on the market and issues will keep on going till bugs are sorted out and that rooting should be updated with new files and then after users review i think then you might just root it but for now there's too much bug even with its stock firmware its normal wait a bit :) Disable all apps that you don't use for now :)

Screen of death

I had a similar situation with my new Z2 although nothing to do with the bootloader, rooting the phone etc.

Basically screen went blank after using a magnetic charge adaptor. Anyways depends what country youre in/phone provider.

I got my phone via a plan and was well over 30 mins of use. My phone lasted about 1.5 weeks and my provider have a 30 day exchange policy if a fault is present.

My phone wouldn’t respond regardless of the power button and volume buttons same time. when on charge I got a flashing red light, not the constant orange charge light.

Anyways went to a shop and got a replacement on the spot.

I don’t know if its common with a Z2 as they are just too new yet. Overall im very happy with mine and suspect I just got a faulty phone, it happens.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluheart:
Same here buddy! I tried the top three, xperia included. Xperia is good and I have no complaints.

Obsessed with rooting and romming since the android SGS years, I bought an Xperia Z2 also to stop my obsession lol!

After 15-AUG, I may root, if a root is available on locked bootloader. Lets wait for DoomLord to attack on the stock first.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amix12:
Thanks guys,

Well, I don't consider any android phone to be really a phone without rooting...

BTW, Does anyone know a way to run rooted apps on non-rooted phones ??

Thanks again.... :good:

you cant run rooted apps without root :/

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] sdam:
Hi Forum,

I tried finding some report of a similar situation in here, but I couldn't find anything. So, here it comes:

Some days ago, my TyTN started by itself to use an ugly sound as its ringtone, one really annoying and not even the Windows Default, although that's exactly what it says in the ringtone selection field.

I constantly change it to one of my likeing ('OldPhone', to be precise), it theoretically keeps it even after soft-resets, but every time a call comes in I hear, again, the same ugly sound and then the ringtone has reverted to 'Windows Default' -although it doesn't sound like that, more like a metal-scraping noise :(

Perhaps related, but I wouldn't really know, may be the previous installation of Phone Profiles v. 1.2.1, an excellent freeware little utility. But I uninstalled it, in case it was the one causing the problem, and the situation remains the same.

I suppose I could 'fix' it with a hard-reset, but I'd prefer not having to go through this and I am starting to get really annoyed -especially when the phone rings!

Any ideas/suggestions? Even better, any solutions?

Thanking all in advance,

-Sotiris.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] eva_d:
Re: TyTN - Ringtone reverting to something ugly in every cal

did you change music file associations recently to some 3rd party application? this bug is unresolved ever since WM5 AKU1 (i've had that with Wizard as well) - i.e. when you change *.mp3 file association to GSPlayer instead of default WMP, and then set mp3 file as ringtone, 'Windows Default' will always ring when incoming call comes. my solution was to convert ringtones into .wma file type, which is still associated with WMP and works as ringtone as well...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] sdam:
Thanks for your reply eva_d,

Well, I certainly did, but don't know if it's related, since 'OldPhone' is a WMA file. But, then again, maybe the .wma associations have changed as well?

BTW, while going through the registry settings in hope of finding something relevant, I did find that what I was hearing wasn't 'metal scraping', but just the 'doring.wav' in very high volume :)

Changed the setting in 'HKLM\Software\HTC\Phone\AlertingTone' to my preffered 'OldPhone.wma', rebooted, to no luck though...

And this ugly 'doring.wav' is still heard like metal scraping when loud. Of course, I could always rename my preffered tone to 'doring.wav', but this is almost as ugly a solution as the metal scraping ;)

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] argon124:
I believe the vibration on my M8 is broken. I tried to turn the vibration on and off. Turned off power saver and still no vibration. I even downloaded some vibration apps to see if it'd work, but to no avail.

Anybody have any solutions?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Did it ever work, and is broken now? Or never worked in the first place? Is the phone stock or modded.

If fully stock, try Factory reset, and/or RUU and if it still doesn't work, return it under warranty.

Wow! It looks awesome. And because I use Tinted Status Bar with Xposed, the navbar and the statusbar gets the color of the domain i am in. It looks stunning.

In the future, I would a feature, which I needed in the first few seconds :D With all these swiping gestures, i accidentaly deleted some conversion, like yard, Dollars.... I saw you can activate them again in teh Settings, but don't you think that there should be a button like "reset to normal" or something like that ?

Anyway, it is an awesome app. I would pay for it ;)

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rumsfeld:
Hi, I have a Samsung Note 3 (SM-N9005) and when I bought it has Jelly Bean 4.3, now I want to update it to Kit Kat 4.4 but when a I search updates says already have the newest version, I think is because I bought it in a phone company of my country (Costa Rica) because others phones that have the same model of mine already receive Kit Kat but that are from the factory. That could be a reason why I didn't receive 4.4? If I unlock my phone I'll receive the update? Please help me. :crying:

First Don't Unlock bootloader if like official updates.

then what u mean by buying it from company !!!

It s Galaxy Note 3 N9005 normal version

i mean it s not something like dev edition or commercial

SO it will get update

u should check sammobile.com/firmware & live.samsung-updates.com

then see build number on about phone option and searc for ur model if update is available or not...

after All

u can simply download Stock Firmware of N9005 and flash it using Odin.

that u should search for its tutorial

:good:

Have been flashing this for sometime and tested on 3DMark

The result is 20330,not bad I guess(ElementalX - Stock 2.5Ghz - Ondemand)

If this is the case and both files are there it's a no go. Or if the old files are not being over written then it's a no go. Honestly if these type of files are not specifically for a device they can cause problems.

That could be debated. The z2 Dalvik+Bionic patch made my device perform noticeably better. Just because you think it is only for benchmarks do not mean it is so.
