Hey guys,

Title says it all! I am sold on the Z1 (Z2 too expensive) but the self-cracking issue got me worried hard...its the ONLY reason I'm not getting this right now, how prevalent is it really? Thanks!
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
I have never heard of it, don't even know what you mean.

And don't worry, I have already asked the mods to move your question to the Q and A section

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lancerz:
Probably a chick that wears skin tight jeans and keeps the phone in their back pocket said it then wonders how the screen cracked lol.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emccccc:
It happens. Look at sony support forums. They say it was no hit then crack or it just cracked by itself.. Sony addressed the issue i think? I mean, they responded. I forgot their response though just look through the sony support forum.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicefella:
Yea thats the issue. I just don't know how prevalent it is and who wants to deal with customer support all the time you know? It seems like they denied the issue at first but then they replace it in some cases.

All phones have problems but if its prevalent I'd stay away from the Z1, thats why I asked :) Phone looks amazing though!
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chadneu:
My z1s cracked itself.

Went to sleep and when I woke up the back had cracked.

It doesn't affect usage so no big deal to me.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emccccc:
Hmm. maybe its a problem for a given batch of z1? Maybe they fixed or solved the problem in other batches, like productiob batches. Like cars. Sometimes they call a specific batch back to get fixed because of problems, then the other batches are ok?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlads:
Possibly referring to overcharging the device, the battery swelling , the phone bending and the glass cracking, if this is the case then I can tell you that if you don't overcharge your device (excessively anyway) you won't have this issue, the phone itself is glass but is relatively sturdy and a few knocks here and there won't give you any problems, a drop from height and you might have an issue.

Hope this helps.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albertmed98:
What do you mean by excessively charging? Too many times or too much time per charge? Or both? Thx in advance.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kirkymole:
Rubbish. My handset is almost permanently on charge either on my bedside table (from the moment I get in as it provides my Hotspot), my desk at work (I don't carry it around as I'll break it) or in the van providing handsfree and GPS. Most of this time it's got the screen ON and is being charged with a 2500mAh charger.

If one was too overcharge it would be mine and it never has.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlads:
http://www.phonearena.com/news/Xperia-Z1-frame-bending-for-no-reason-claim-users_id51383

Rubbish? Really? Well explain this then? This is due to excessive heat and overcharge and a bloated battery.

When the battery bloats it has no where to go, i've seen this many times on devices, namely the kit used to diagnose problems on BMW and mercedes cars uses a blue battery and i've seen them triple in size when overcharged and eventually the screws, the sides of the device split, So no not rubbish at all, do your home work.

---------- Post added at 10:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:44 AM ----------

excessive as in overcharging constantly, especially with a charger which outputs too much power. the battery will eventually bloat, this can't be good for the components inside, whether or not that this device in the article is due to that or not is anyones guess, but i've seen devices split from a battery which has bloated beyond its limits. This is usually due to a few factors, excessive heat, charge or water damage.

I don't know why but it happens, galaxy devices see this issue more than others.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kirkymole:
The article says 'possibly'. It's not confirmed. One of the the things I was asked when my old handset went in for repair was 'is it bent?'. Obviously I said no and asked why, Sony's comment, on the phone, was that the bending people had experienced was due to people sitting on their handsets or putting them in trouser pockets and the pressure combined with heat was causing them to bend.

More to the point. The battery is towards the bottom of the handset. The pictures of bent handsets show the bends to be at the top, nearer the processor.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium-ion_battery#Battery_life

Read the battery life, conditioning and multi cell device sections

This describes the misconceptions surrounding Li-ion batteries (That are in our Z1's) including the fact that the software in the phone prevents overcharging and will also lead the battery to discharge whilst still plugged in order to give the battery max performance/life.

If a battery in our mobile phones is getting overcharged that will be a symptom of another fault, namely something wrong with the phone software. Our batteries will look after themselves, there is no need to worry

Here is another point about not completely discharging Li-ion batteries

http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/five-apps/five-tips-for-extending-lithium-ion-battery-life/
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlads:
Ok so the Li ion battery found in the device i was referring to bloated, it was plugged in all of the time, in a different dealer the same machine was cared for by not being over charged, and didn't experience the bloat? reports from several other garages of the same thing.

How do you explain that?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
I am not trying to explain anything

Just pointing out some articles, from what I read in them the OS will look after the battery more than us, and that it is OK to leave it on charge without waiting until it is completely discharged. Then, about once a month you should completely discharge it and fully charge to calibrate the software

Maybe the chargemon file in our phones looks after the battery more than the software in those machines you are talking of, its the OS that looks after the battery
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlads:
Not sure m8, all i know is that if phones are left to charge all the time they experience anomalies, any phone that's been left in a shop for a period of time will experience the issues, I know there are fail safes in place but issues still occur on all devices, primarily and the most noticeable is sporadic touch screen issues although the newer handsets have been able to erradicate this somewhat, but the bloating battery from overcharging is very real, if i'd not seen it with my own eyes then i would be sceptical too.

Whether this phone bending phenomenon is solely due to overcharging or not i''m not sure but i'd say it's definitely a factor.

---------- Post added at 11:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:40 AM ----------

excessive heat and sitting on the phone? I'd have thought that the glass would have broken way before that it bent, and the battery isn't on the bottom, it's from the bottom all the way up to three quarters of the phone. So it's actually a plausible theory that battery bloating could have caused it to bend.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kirkymole:
Then I took mine apart it seemed the battery was more towards the bottom than the top. But it is plausible the battery could cause bending. Seems odd though as the heat would be greater in the centre of the battery, not one corner.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlads:
No idea m8, heres a few pics of a functional device which hasn't experienced bloating to give you an idea of how big this battery went and what it forced out of shape.

The previous one was left on charge constantly and the battery got so big that the sim slot which you can see in the second picture had bent up so far that you couldn't even see the slot, roughly about 2cm displacement.

The battery which is around 3" x 5" x 1" grew in height to around 3.5" from 1", it looked pretty insane.

As i've said before with the Samsung batteries, these are one of the worst for it, I service phones myself and i've seen a great deal of them and the habits of the end user are always the same, charge overnight and play a lot of crappy games like candy crush and the like.

Doing both at the same time will cause the phone to heat up and heat up, something somewhere has to give, it's quite well documented on the net in regards to bloat and overcharging.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CreeVal:
Apparantly it happens because some Z1 where faulty assembeled at the factory.

So the frame is mountet somewhat crooked and therefor applies a pressuere to the screen and makes it crack over time.

It happened to me, sent it in and they replaced the screen, has not happened again.

No, a regular Western Digital "My Passport" USB HDD.

My Nexus 5 provides enough power without needing a y-cable/external power. But thats probably because it has a snapdragon 800 chipset.

Anyone tried a USB HDD with the tab S?

Galaxy Tab S 10.5 USB OTG works with my 32gb PNY flash drive. I formatted it first in FAT 32 and my drive was recognised instantly. You can double check if it is recognised under the 'storage' option in settings, then in the USB OTG storage tab.

Then i reformatted it in exFAT on my computer and it still works perfectly. It was instantly recognised upon plugging it into the tablet.

The USB OTB cable (micro usb to female usb) I used was a cheap generic ebay one which does the job. So yes, this device does support USB OTG natively (though I haven't tried NTFS format yet).

[Sony Xperia M] ndrancs:
Hi all

I have read many threads with similar issue, then this my way how to fix it.

Ie: Folder mount app, which make reboot the phone after we mount a folder.

Just add this line to this file : /system/etc/install-recovery-2.sh

If the file is missing, just create it.

Requirement:

on JB 4.3

superSU atleast v200 installed

busybox installed, got it from Playstore, ie: Busybox X,

#!/system/bin/sh

pkill -f /sbin/ric; mount -o remount,rw /; chmod 644 /sbin/ric

#just to make sure ric is killed
pkill -f /sbin/ric

How to:

You better know than me. but here my way.

if your phone reboot after you touch mount rw in root explorer then adb or terminal emulator is your friend

remount rw system, make the file, then push/copy to target directory, and set correct permission , chmod 755 install-recovery-2.sh

done.

.
[Sony Xperia M] mbc07:
This thread lacks a lot of info. You just forgot to cite you must have busybox installed and that this line should be put in install-recovery-2.sh if running Android 4.3 firmware to avoid conflicts with daemonsu...

You didn't search enough
[Sony Xperia M] ndrancs:
Hi mbc07,

:o i have put the line in that file and of course is work. never get reboot again. i have read the note by superSU in that file too.

but iam forgot to cite the busybox, and i have busybox installed.

but hey thanks, i edited the OP.

1. Install towel root

first open it and click on make it rain in about 15 seconds your phone will reboot

2. download root checker from the play store and check to see if you have root access open it ..it will pop up and go ahead and grant permission then it will say congratulations you have root access ....

3. then download supersu from the play store install that(optional) ... Open it and and it will ask something about the binaries click OK and it should install them if not that's OK just close out Reboot:

3. Now Install SafeStrap: follow these how to instructions ...The latest is 3.75

I've already done a quick (and somewhat untidy) job with an old soldering iron and some stone age solder last used in the 70's... Sounds Ok. Although the Vario 2's sound chip isn't exactly up to much through my Sennheiser's (using PocketMusic's EQ). It's certainly no match for my iRiver iHP120 which produces a lovely deep bass.
