[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowFlare:
I have the Bronze LTE version, imported from Hong Kong, pressed down on that area firmly, didn't notice any gap opening.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simacca:
Not noticed this on my white 8.4.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xRevilatioNx:
Non here either
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TonyBigs:
No problem with the 10.5 (so far).
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] domo325:
No such issue on my 8.4 bronze TAB S.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TonyBigs:
I wonder if the separation could be related to the overheating reports concerning the 8.4?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akafaze:
It's a possibility, I used my tablet for really long duration but it didn't get too hot to consider it overheating. I returned mines though, too many negatives for me. I'd rather wait for a Note Tab S with AMOLED and a better processor than exonys...
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clintonroche:
None here on the 8.4
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayochs:
don't notice it in my white 8.4
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TarjeiB:
I have the same, and a very irritating squeaking or clicking sound from the bezel moving when I touch it in a certain way. If it gets worse I'll have to exchange it.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] filtragem:
Hello,

I notice this problem on my t705 now, i don't know when it started and if it is getting worse but its now about the size of the home button.

Did your's get fixed or exchanged? If fixed it happen again?

Thanks for your help
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] postulio:
I have a similar issue with my 10.5. In the lower left corner when held at landscape. it is very mild and you can "feel" the squeek more than hear it and there is certainly no visible gap but fact remains its an issue.

The corner isn't near charging port or cpu placement so heat has nothing to do with it.

I'm pretty sure it depends on how well it was glued in place and where/how you hold your tablet up and where the strain occurs (i frequently used that corner solely for support in my left hand).
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThE_SoUrCe:
Yup. Got a few gaps here and there, remedied since i painted my original bezel to white. It's plastic
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] filtragem:
Is there any point on send it to warranty?

Probably will be the same and with more gaps from openning it up.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kayak83:
Found this thread in Google search. My 8.4 tab s suddenly had a seperrated bezel this afternoon. It even snapped a small piece off the white back cover. Luckily the bezel snapped back into place. Going to keep my eye on it. Think Samsung will do a repair if need be?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tayfootball:
I'm on a HTC One with unlocked bootloader S-ON and CID T-MOB101 and had previously updated my phone to 4.4.2 with hboot 1.57 and Sense 5.5. I was then using ARHD 71.1 and now I'm trying to use the following Guru reset:

htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_2-24-111-3-zip/

To restore back to stock..

After installing the guru reset and choosing to flash stock recovery my phone boots up to android 4.2.2. Afterwards I'm able to receive OTA updates and the first two minor updates are installed without any problems.. However when the 4.3 update with sense 5.5 is installed, my phone ends up in a boot loop.. I've tried this a couple of times and the same thing always happen

I've even tried restoring via nandroid backup instead, and then manually flashing the stock recovery, but the same thing happens again..

I read someone having the exact same issue here:

[htc1guru.com/downloads/stock-rom-downloads/#comment-31339

Anyone know what could be causing these problems? Has it got anything to do with hboot 1.57?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanie280672:
Yup it has everything to do with hboot 1.57, you need to either downgrade your hboot (s-off required) or find a newer guru reset or nandroid, it's bootlooping because the ota isn't recognizing the newer hboot
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tayfootball:
Thanks for the reply!

I was only available to find a nandroid backup for firmware 3.63.111.3. That includes hboot 1.55. But I'm pretty sure the OTA update available to that firmware is the firmware package that includes hboot 1.57.

Would the OTA work then? Or do i need to flash a nandroid backup that includes hboot 1.57 in ordet to pull OTA updates?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanie280672:
That ota your on about will probably have 1.56 in it, you will need to find a guru reset or nandroid which contains either hboot 1.56 or 1.57.

Or you can flash a custom Rom and try and get s-off which will resolve all your problems
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tayfootball:
The thing is I remember that on firmware 3.63.111.3 it was hboot 1.55 and on 4.20.111.21 it was hboot 1.57.

I flashed the 3.63.111.3 backup and got a OTA prompt to update to 4.20.111.21.

The update failed midthrough, and i got a red triangle.. I pressed the power button and the volume up button.. The error message was this:

Any idea what that means?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanie280672:
yup, there is a load of apps stored in data/preload, apps like calculator and flashlight etc, the apps and the contents get deleted when you unlock your bootloader, its HTC's way of catching you out and stopping you getting any OTA's, they can be replaced but not easily, see if you can find the 3.63.111.3 original OTA and you can grab them out of that.

3.63.111.3 comes with HBOOT 1.55

4.20.111.21 comes with HBOOT 1.56

5.??.???.?? comes with HBOOT 1.57
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tayfootball:
Just to be sure, should i grab the 3.63.111.3 OTA file or the 4.20.111.21 OTA file(since 4.20.111.21 is the one i'm trying to install)?

Should I just grab that specifik apk and install them on my phone?

Hmm but on my bootloader screen it says firmware 4.20.111.21 and hboot 1.57..

The thing is this firmware was rolled out during the time the rest of the world got sense 6.. And I remember I was surprised to see the jump from hboot 1.55 to 1.57 even though 4.20.111.21 still was on Sense 5.5.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanie280672:
grab this OTA 3.63.111.3, its just a zip file, put it on your computer and open it up with WinRAR, pull the data/preload folder from it a copy it to your phone using root browser etc, put it in the data preload folder on your phone, if it doesn't exist then create it, you will then need to change the permissions of the folder and contents, the OTA your after then should work.

Strange about the HBOOT
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tayfootball:
I am only able to find the 4.20.111.21 OTA file.. :( would it work grabbing the preload folder from there?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanie280672:
if there is one, then yes, defo try it, as far as im aware, the ota just checks the folder and contents exist on your phone.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tayfootball:
Ok thanks! Gonna try it now!

Sorry for asking a thousand questions, but just one final one..

What permissions am I supposed to set on the folder and the files in preload when moving them?

Should i choose:

Set UID, Set GID or Sticky ?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanie280672:
set the folder to rwxrwx-x

and the contents to rw-r-r-
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tayfootball:
thank you so much!

It worked past that, but the install still failed at the end..

this time i got the message

Do you have any idea on this one..?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanie280672:
Do you have the correct stock recovery installed for your current firmware version ? ie you have stock recovery for 3.63.111.3

this is a new one on me
[Windows 8 General] Lincoln99:
(Note: If you break your device by trying to run on High Graphics, don't blame me.)

This guide should work for other devices out there, but I tested it on the Dell Venue 8 Pro.

Requirements:

4GB of free space

DAEMON Tools Lite v4

Battlefield 2 ISO

No-CD BF2.exe Mod

Alright, first, if you have a Battlefield 2 CD/DVD, rip the files off of it and compile it into an ISO file using 7-Zip (not tested), or you can download an ISO from a torrent site (not providing links), if you made an ISO file, copy it to your tablet with a USB or MicroSD card, then download DAEMON Tools Lite and install it on your tablet (be sure to decline any offers), open the tools and press the the CD icon with a green +, navigate to your Battlefield 2 ISO and add it, then mount the virtual drive. You can close DAEMON Tools after it mounts. Open the File Manager and double tap (or click if you have a mouse) the virtual drive, and follow the instructions, once finished, use your favorite search engine and look for "Battlefield 2 No-CD Crack (BF2 version here)" (Note: not my fault if you get a virus...) Then navigate to where you installed Battlefield 2 (most likely C:/Program Files/EA Games/Battlefield 2) and rename BF2.exe to BF2_CD.exe and copy the modded BF2.exe to the directory, if successful the game should launch normally. That's it! You now have Battlefield 2 on your Dell Venue 8 Pro (or other tablet)! Be sure to unmount the ISO and delete the ISO to free up disk space. On the DV8P the settings will be on low. I haven't tried medium yet. The game resolution will be 800x600, and can only be pushed to 1024x768 (I recommend 800x600 on a 8-inch display), at least on my Dell, the game should only be 1.77GB after install.

[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
You don't need daemon tools. Windows 8 has native .ISO mounting

So far across both my windows 8 devices and an old win 7 system the retail copy of battlefield 2 freezes at 81% installed before giving up. Works fine on an XP VM. Log since given up considering the multiplayer no longer works
[Windows 8 General] Lincoln99:
Just tried running on High Graphics with 1024x768 resolution, it actually runs pretty fast. However, before the level loaded I got an out of memory error, but was still able to play it.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spiug:
Hi to all!

Some days ago my Note begin to have some strange comportament.

Only when I make a traditional telephone call I can't hear and other person can't hear me, all mute. But whit speaker I hear other person, but he doesn't hear me.

The microphone works well (registration works perfectly), and also the speaker, so we can exclude an Hardware issue.

With other programs like Skype all work great.

The telephone was whit stock firmware (2.3 updated), so I decided to upgrade with Kies to 4.1. The problem remain!

I try with a factory reset, but nothing change.

So I decided to flash another rom, like CM11 and MIUI, but the problem also remain quite the same!! Now I can hear the other people, but he doesn't hear me.

It's so curious.

I can't realize if is a Hardware or Software problem.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Francesco
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] straycat:
Same here. Randomly people won't hear my voice or hear it "far away". I always hear fine. On speaker trouble goes away. Microphone runs OK in every other app than stock telephone. Factory reset it a few weeks ago but trouble still.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pemell:
it's been some sad days for me. as you might have noticed around this forum I loved my ultra. but some days ago it cracked, of no obvious reason. had it in my pocket and when I took it out there was one single crack over the screen. and the display refused to register any kind of touch.

so what is my warning? I removed the anti shatter film, and I think I shouldn't have done that. so my message to everyone considering this, just don't. there's probably a very good reason it's there and why it's glued.

now I got myself a m8 and it's probably the best device out there. the day the successor to the ultra turns up I will go big again.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Hope to see you around, mate! I'll probably stay with the Ultra until there's a new and interesting "phablet" on the market. Doesn't look like the Ultra 2 is happening, and I'm not going to buy a Samsung, so I guess I'm stuck, lol.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pemell:
I would never changed phone if it didn't break. but I guess this is a culprit with such a big device, that it can bend and crack that way. next time I'm with a big one I'm buying a hard case!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] angel.grin:
Yup, mine just came from a screen replacement last week now it's alive and kickin. Hehe.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pemell:
How did your one crack?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] angel.grin:
I forgot to take it out from my pocket and sat on it, but I noticed it instantly I was just to late to react.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pemell:
Are you getting a hard case?

By the way, how much did it cost you to get it replaced? And did you have the factory anti shatter film removed before it cracked?

Many questions, sorry for that ☺
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] angel.grin:
If I can find a good hard case, I will.

280sgd so around 220usd.

No, I did not remove the ASF.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pemell:
Ok thanks man for your response
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jutley:
I had one with the asf removed and used it for 6 months with no problems with screen then I sold it which was a big mistake.But now I got another one and loving it this one has the asf still intact.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Jammol:
Dang that sucks dude. I still have the ASF on mine and holy crap it's scratched to hell and back. I've sat on it and keep it in my pocket all the time without a case on but sometimes I take it out. I'm lucky when it comes to the cracking screen part, but I'm bad luck when it comes to waterproof. I got water in it somehow last night in the shower. Water is now under the dang screen but doing the rice bag helped a lot and got most of it out as of this morning. Funny thing is even though water is in the phone and I can hear it splashing around, the phone was still working!!! This thing is a freaking BEAST!!! Screen started to flicker so I turned it off and dropped that puppy in a bag of rice where it's at right now. Turned it on this morning and it's still working and no more screen flicker. I'm going to keep it in rice for the rest of the day.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] samsmalls:
Lmfao @ "though water is in the phone and I can hear it splashing around, the phone was still working!!!" That was hilarious! I'm glad it's still kicking for you, that paragraph cracked me up! :D
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] IAmBrock:
thats exactly what happened to mine i miss my z ultra but hopefully i will get the updated z ultra if they make one. Mine did it without removing the anti shatterproof.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] TheFamilyMan:
I Found Several Good Hard Cases!

I've had my baby since 10/01/13 and I absolutely love my BEAST! I'll post pix when I get home but you guys ought to think about grabbing the camera attachment hard case. It's great and there's no give on the device, at all. I always keep it in a case and I've kept the ASF along with front and back glass screen protectors.

The cases I've found were all Sony OEM except for the RoxFit too. If you look around you can find them. Sony has even contacted a case maker so to speak.

My baby BEAST is running strong (don't jinx me please) bit I'm still waiting for the XZU II (2) I'd it every comes out. I ain't NEVER going back to Samsung after being spoiled with Sony's great build quality.

Damn Straight.

Just finally rooted it back in May, I was waiting for KitKat 4.4.4. Now I'll wait for Android L. I can't go back to anything the size of a toy anymore that's definite. But hey that's just me.

And hey guys, grabbing a screen and doing it yourself wouldn't been a hell of a lot cheaper by the way. They're always on eBay plus they cine with pry tools and all. Just sayin'.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Prabash:
The very same happened to me! :(..It cost me around $250 to replace the screen..
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] speculatrix:
I keep my XZ in a book-style hard-cover case, and haven't removed the ASF. there are light scratches on it which I can't see in normal use. I do polish the screen a fair amount to remove grease and spots, and that does seem to help reduce scratches.

I was actually considering buying a second XZU because of all the heavy discounting, especially since there seems no sign of a Z2 Ultra or Z Ultra2 model.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] rjan22:
Seriously, what are you doing watching porn on that big screen on the shower with the other hand where? lmfao
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] doctahjeph:
Did you try and get it repaired under the warranty? Mine cracked while in my pocket. Doing absolutely nothing at all. I heard others with the same issue, and most, if not all of them got it fixed under warranty. I called mine in and sent it off to Sony. Just waiting on a call back from them on whether or not they will repair under warranty. Most of what I read is that even though Sony says they will contact you they don't. You ship it off and then a few weeks later it is shipped back repaired. Crossing my fingers.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Jammol:
Lol. I couldn't help it.

I got water in it again last week by accident. Was getting ready for work and brushing my teeth with it on the counter by the sink and I splashed water all over it by accident when I was washing my face. Wasn't much but I could see the moisture building up under it so I rice it all day.

Still kicking.However when I power it on I can see a very faint "light" spot under the screen where it isn't well lit. It's only about 5 mm wide but oh well. Doesn't affect the screen when the phone is fully on and running though.

This is the strongest phone I've ever had since my Samsung Infuse «----that phone got the **** beaten out of it!!!!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ij0rgei:
that sucks. if you do decide to hop back into a z ultra, try running it with dual tempered glass screen protectors. it adds 0.8mm to the overall thickness but adds rigidity, and at 13$ on ebay for each protector, it makes it easy to replace without any huge blows to your pocketbook. :good:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] nedooo:
Cracked by it self WOW maybe it is transformer phone LOL

Maybe you sit on it or you bend it, 'cos by it self it cant brake :silly:

Just be happy Sony did you a big favor :good:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pemell:
I had the glass-m tempered screen protector applied. Thought that would help me but not.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Amidamaru212:
Is sad to see you leaving us, because the your Sleek Theme is amazing work, but I hope we'll see you around next time... :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Vanquiz:
Sad thing, same thing happened to me this morning, put my Z Ultra on my backpack, with just wallet inside on my Sunday bike ride. Got home, took out my phone, turn the display on, and the phone wont register my touch, then I saw a hairline crack from side to bottom. I didnt drop my backpack, nor anything particular that can make the crack, so weird.

I have glass m, and I didnt remove my original screen protector, the crack is inside, I cannot feel any crack on the screen protector, both glass m and the original.

I'll order another Z Ultra from expansys, or a Z2, not sure, but I think I'll just go with the Z Ultra since it's $200 cheaper than Z2, plus Im gonna upgrade to the next Z Ultra later on anyway.

But still, I really cannot think any reason why my display would crack, maybe I ride the bike in supersonic speed, and it couldnt handle the vibration? LOL:confused::silly:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pemell:
You should be able to have it in your backpack (like you did). And you should be able to have it in your pocket (like I had).

And same for me, the glass-m didn't crack, just the display under it.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pemell:
I FREAKING LOVE YOU SONY

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Triflot:
For free? Even with the ASF removed? That's great! :good:

Will you keep using the M8, or go back to the Ultra?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pemell:
My retailer told me to pay $400 to get it fixed so I complained to Sony and they made them turn around.

I'm selling the m8. I love the ultra!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] nedooo:
SONY all the way!!!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Vanquiz:
That retailer is crazy,asking for $400 to fix the screen where you can get a brand new in box unit for $350, LMAO

Do you have to pay anything? Any deduction? Did they send you just the unit or everything?

I have to use my Sony Protection Plus ADH claim, they said they will sending a replacement unit in 7-10 business days, I have to give my credit card info, they said just for guarantee that I will send them back the broken unit.

In the mean time, I already got my C6833 from expansys, so when they replacement unit came, I will sell one of them.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pemell:
I had left my device at the retailer and after the first investigation at their service center they gave me that price to fix it.

I called Sony and they told me to file a complaint and tell the retailer to call them, and after a week I got a text that they fixed the device and I could come and get it.

And they did not only change the cracked front screen. They also changed my back cover and flaps. As I said, I love Sony.
