Hey guys. I've got another issue with my N5. Today I noticed a white splotch on my screen. When the screen is on, but with a black background, the splotch is noticeable. Its near the volume up/down rocker. Coincidentally, I'm having issues with the volume buttons too. Anyone know if this can be fixed?

Had my z2 for a bit over a month, bought it second hand from a guy who bought it in may.

Today I go golfing and about 30 minutes into my round I reach into my Pocket and pull out a cracked screen.

I thought at first it was just maybe my nilken glassbut after removing it the crack was actually in my screen, as usual I made sure nothing else was in my pocket with my phone, I've since read this is a reoccuring issue with z1,z2 etc.

I ended up buying a new phone as the screen was completely useless.. Hoping Sony will repair the old phone so I can recoup some costs for the new one.

Just figured I'd share
[Xperia Z2 General] blyndfyre:
So sorry to hear about your phone! Hope you golfed a good round at least, although doubtful after acquiring the stress of a destroyed display on a $700 phone!
[Xperia Z2 General] kylecummins:
Lol I played brutal of course!
[Xperia Z2 General] kylecummins:
I just received an email from Sony's 3rd party repair centre asking for 189.xx + tax to repair my device, claiming physical damage.

I put a call into Sony Xperia support and spoke to a floor supervisor who was somewhat helpful and is going to try to get me more info.

So pissedoffcustomer right now
[Xperia Z2 General] paysen:
Tell us what they can do for you. That really shouldn't happen. I am so close to buying the z3 after the announcement on the 3rd of september... But when I hear things like this... you know... I don't want a cracked screen without even doing sth wrong.

Another self cracked glass (back).

I will send it to service and report back... unlocked bootloader but EU law protects me.
[Xperia Z2 General] TeeJayEss:
This exact same thing happened to me. I couldn't even be bothered with Sony customer services, I knew what they'd say, so I just claimed on my phone insurance and took the £75 excess hit.
[Xperia Z2 General] cybershock:
Mine was cracked the same, put it into my pocket and after 1 min. I pulled out a cracked touch digitizer, the lcd panel was ok.

I think the cracked glass contrary to the working lcd for most people clarifies the issue.
[Xperia Z2 General] Carphedon:
I had this same problem yesterday. I was watching a movie through MHL, turned on my alarm and got to sleep. Next morning screen would not register input, reboot still nothing, then i noticed something in corner of screen, a crack! I am 100% certain that i did not drop the phone or anything, it was just laying on its own pillow next to my head while i was sleeping. Returned it to sony, lets see what their service is like.
[Xperia Z2 General] kylecummins:
I've been fighting tooth and nail with sony for almost 1 month.

After little to no help from the Xperia customer service or the service centre who claims I damaged the phone myself I've filed a complaint to Sony Of America head office in new York city through the better business bureau.

I've got a broken z2 as well as one I bought to replace it. Once the matter is resolved I'll be selling both and going to an IPhone 6+ and will never buy another sony mobile product again.

I hate Apple, but Atleast they back their products.
[Xperia Z2 General] qbic2:
This is crazy, do you have pictures of cracks?
[Xperia Z2 General] kartoonz:
this is ridiculous... i was hell bent on buying the z3 compact, but after reading so many horror stories about sony products and service i will stay away from them. Thanks for sharing ur story:good::good:
[Xperia Z2 General] juicejuice:
Yeah happened to me too, my crack was thankfully across the back, but my phone company didn't want to know about it - "physical damage is your problem". I have had PDAs and smartphones for over 14 years and this is the first issue ever. Avoid Xperia phones like the plague!!

At least they have kept the Z2 firmware up to date .. oh .. wait ..
[Xperia Z2 General] effective:
The beautiful design of the phone has its minuses.The iphone 6 for example..too big and it bends in your pocket..Im not talking for this case here,but the main reason is the tight pockets and the big phone design like the Z Series.Yes the z's dont bend,but they crack easily.The first thing to do is to buy a metal bumper or plastic crystal clear case (if you want to save the beauty of the phone tho) (: It will reduce the crack chance significaly. ^^ (:
[Xperia Z2 General] juicejuice:
I had my phone in a hard shell case with leather flap since day 1, that still didn't save it... :(
[Xperia Z2 General] devilsdouble:
So what, this is some kind of defective batches, or is it normal and can happen to any Z2?
[Xperia Z2 General] juicejuice:
Perhaps it's a design fault like with the bendy iPhone 6 Plus? Maybe Sony didn't strengthen the phone enough and it can flex too much causing the glass to crack?
[Xperia Z2 General] kptnk:
My z2 self-cracked as well, on the back. Here more details and pics :

http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z2/general/cover-self-cracked-t2846313

After more than 1 month of battle with the seller, their warranty service, and Sony, I was very surprised and pleased to learn that they have agreed to repair it under warranty.

So, it leads me to think that Sony approves then that it is a production defective unit. Now, can this happen to any z2 ? That's the question I couldn't answer......the doubt will always be here, and the fear will stick each time we'll take it off our pockets....(little too much drama, right ?)

Anyway, even if eventually I am satisfied by Sony's action, I am still disappointed to encounter this kind of huge issues on a phone of that price, one month old....
[Xperia Z2 General] devilsdouble:
That's good, at least they have agreed. I guess this was (maybe still is) the reason when they launched the device here in India there was some kind of accidental damage coverage for six months, meaning whatever happens they will replaced the device no questions asked, within first six months.

My hatred towards this glass build has just gone up to another level.

Will theming or hover be available?

Slim has their own theme engine in the pipes...as for hover: probably not. Slim tries to keep all code light, and having both hover and head's up seems superfluous

Except in Slim, there are special tweaks to it. For example, to enable, you need to go in each individual app that you want Head's Up from...also swiping to the left eliminates it from the notification tray entirely, swiping to the right, however, dismisses it but keeps in the notification tray

I'm about to flash 7.6 right now. The issues I've had with the previous build which I honestly don't know are problems with the build or with other issues.

1. Google Maps crash

2. The calculator app force locks the device

3. Pushbullet doesn't sign in for some reason.

Other than that, it's a great ROM and I hope that you continue building it up :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Iz3man:
Hey guys,

I got a I747 I want to give to my mother as a gift.

I downgraded 4.1.2 to 4.1.1 and ran the secret menu unlock to unlock the sim card, that worked perfectly.

Now I want to update this out of 4.1.1 to 4.4.2 but I cannot find a stock firmware to run on odin anywhere.

Do I need to go to 4.3 first? Is there a stock firmware for that?

SamMobile stops at 4.1.2... OTA obviously doesn't work.

How Can I get this done..
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
You can just flash stock 4.1.2 firmware from sammobile and then run OTA updates.

I also found this on sammobile: Canada (Bell Mobile) (Black Edition), Version: Android 4.4.2, PDA: I747MVLUFNE6

CSC: I747MOYCFNE6, MODEM: I747MVLUFNE6
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Iz3man:
Will it work though.

I have it already on my pc, I updated my wife's with it.

If I update to 4.1.2 will OTA come? Even with the I747(not the I747m) on the Bell network?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
I have a Motorola Atrix from Bell. I flashed it with stock ATT firmware and received OTA updates from ATT over wi-fi.

Since you have the i747, start with stock pre-rooted ATT 4.1.1. This will flash the stock recovery, radio, and bootloader. Run triangle away, flash a stock unrooted ATT stock 4.1.1 ROM, and take the OTA updates.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php...mctr=(not provided)&__utmv=-&__utmk=135374642
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Iz3man:
Ok, so I guess it wasn't clear, my bad.

I have 4.1.1 stock firmware on my att 1747. It has never been rooted.

I run the Ota and I got an error, now it tells me "Your software is up to date".

Can I flash a bell i747m 4.4.2 image onto this i747 or will it brick?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
You can flash i747m firmware on your phone but DO NOT flash the radios or bootloader from an i747m to an i747 and vice versa. Bricking is a really possibility if you do that.

Do you have a custom recovery? If you do, you will need to install a stock recovery.

Try resetting the phone (wiping cache, data) in recovery or through the ROM itself.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Iz3man:
Alright, I have the stock recovery. How do I not flash the radio and boatloads when using the firmware from sammobile?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
You cant. You cannot flash another devices firmware. Odin wont let it happen and if it did youd end up hard bricked due to mixed firmware. For example your sbl1, modemst and param partitions (plus others) would be i747 and youd be flashing sbl2, sbl3, rpm, etc from an I747M.

The only thing you could use are the system partition and kernel, nothing else. There are two ways to accomplish this, one is to build a rom from the firmware and flash that. The other is to flash with mobile odin, but that requires root and youd still have to be very careful.

Another priblem I see you encountering is you cannot run 4.4.2 without 4.3 or newer firmware. It will not boot otherwise.

You need to go to the General section and follow one of enewman17's tutorials to get to either 4.3 or 4.4.2. Personally, I dont see any other way you will be able to accomplish it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Iz3man:
Alright, based on Doc holiday, and others they say It cannot be done and from my experience I beleive them.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Iz3man:
Thank you,

It's very difficult to do this when others are giving bad advice.

So for the record, cannot flash i747m firmware to i747.

Thanks!

The annoying part here is I can do it with my m7, I just flashed the Dev edition onto my Bell m7 with no problems.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
All devices are different in many ways. What is perfectly safe to do with one brand or model can brick another.

And I wouldnt call it "bad" advice... I've seen audit13 and others helping lots of folks with very good advice. We all make mistakes and we all have more we can learn about these devices. No one knows everything about this stuff and shouldnt let that prevent them from trying to help.

Those who are trying to help are doing so with the best of intentions and tell people what they think could be the best way to solve a given problem. In cases like this one, its easy to see how anyone would think its ok to flash different firmware between similar models based on being able to do so on other devices they are familiar with. (If I had gone into those forums I wouldve been telling people the opposite and ended up being wrong there.)

All I can say is chalk it up as a new lesson on a different device, and I hope you still appreciate that someone was trying to help.

[MENTION=4673498]audit13[/MENTION] I hope none of this discourages you from helping. Ive seen plenty of threads where your advice was sound and appreciated, and I am glad you have been around to help so many people out!

Now, back on the problem at hand... if you want to be running the latest 4.4.2 kk, you will have the option to use the OS (/system and kernel) from either the I747 or I747M firmware. But first you must fully update to a minimum of the 4.3 MJB firmware for the I747. Once you have this running for your base firmware/bootloader, you can then run the Bell or AT&T (4.3 or 4.4.2) system. (I hope this is making sense!)

So first, update the full 4.3, MJB, firmware via Odin. (Theres a thread in General with the file, ill post the link in a min).

If you want to update to 4.4.2 firmware, you can then follow enewman17's tutorial to do so via OTA.

You can then either stay with that, or use Mobile Odin to flash ONLY the system and kernel from the Bell firmware.

Let me know if any of that needs better clarification! Also let us know what your ultimate goal is. From the options you have, where do you want to end up?

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zmag:
Just read some posts in the towelroot forum, and I had some questions - but first, a little about me:

I'm coming from an HTC Evo 4g LTE (Sprint) and I just switched to Ting (uses all Sprint towers & devices, just an a-la-carte payment plan as opposed to monthly)

Anywho, all this Knox business (and acquiring root for the S5) is new to me (but I am no newbie when it comes to root, just my first time owning a Samsung device.) I havent even had this phone for 24 hours yet. :)

Just wanted to know what build/kernel/Android version you were on when you attempted towelroot?

I am on Android 4.4.2 - Build: KOT49H.G900PVPU1AND2

I did not install the System OR Software Update that is in my notification list after activation. (Pretty much same rules were for the HTC Evo 4G LTE, it would update the bootloader to a version that was considered "unmoddable" at the time) and for that phone it was also called "S-OFF" (S stood for Security) - Im guessing Knox is somewhat similar...?

Also, what is the preferred root method for the G900P? I only know of towelroot and CF-Auto-Root (sp?) - I know Chainfire makes apps specifically for Samsung devices, but read an old post on another site that CF's method will "trip" Knox... is that still accurate?

Just wanted to be 100% confident in what I'm doing, before I attempt anything. (Again, I have a lot of experience in HTC devices; not so much with Samsung) :/

Any help regarding my device and acquiring root without "tripping" Knox is greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance! - zmag

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JurKZ:
To add to this I just purchased a S5 coming after an S1 and S3.

I am wondering if I have to worry about any updates on sprint locking me out. My S3 is on Verizon and luckily I rooted it before they came out with the update that locked it out. Can I go to the newest version that my phone wants to update me to without any fears of being locked out in the future?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CCallahan:
Currently for the Sprint 900P (not the 860 Sport) NE5 is the latest build and I have not heard of anything being patched to not allow root.

However, it is best practice to always wait on taking any new Sprint updates until the devs have time to look into it and make sure root is still possible. There is no way for anyone to know what Sprint/Samsung/Google will patch in future updates. It usually only takes the dev community about a day or so to confirm whether existing root methods will still work.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Purplezigar:
Okay so for starters you can switch out a T999 motherboard for a T999L and get LTE. So I did this and I rooted and ROM'd the new mobo and I put on the T999 TWRP (DocHoliday77 said it would be fine in his Galaxy s3 LTE thread) and it shows absolutely nothing. I can see folders in the root of the device but if I look and any of the folders nothing is inside them. And when I reboot it says no OS installed. CWM touch works fine but I prefer TWRP. Any ideas?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
You probably need to flash a rom or firmware.

To see files in /system in recovery you first hsve to mount system.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Purplezigar:
I'm already running the latest snapshot of CM11 right now. And I can't mount anything. If I go to the mount menu of TWRP and press anything, it just freezes and I have to go back to the main menu. If I try to fix permissions it says "unable to mount (everything)." Why does CWM work and TWRP doesn't? And why can't I get TWRP to mount?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
What version of TWRP are you trying? What version of CWM?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Purplezigar:
2.7.1.0 for TWRP and 6.0.4.5 for CWM
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Not sure then. Usually its none, or both thst have that problem. It has to do with the devices hardware revision if im not mistaken. They solved this problem in the Sprint forums and I am hoping to use their info to do the same here. Just gotta find the time!

I prefer TWRP as well, but my best advice is to just stick with cwm gor now until we can figure this all out.

Were you able to flash a rom or firmware and get it to boot?

Now that I think of it, you might want to Odin flash the stock or root66 firmware and try TWRP again after that. You never know....
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Purplezigar:
CyanogenMod 11 is running fine right now with no problems (no major bugs at least). As for Odining back to stock that would take hours for me. It takes well over an hour and a half just do d/l the CM ROM. I'll just stick to CWM for now i guess. Maybe i'll find a fix or somthing that will make it work. Thanks Doc :good:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
If you decide to give it a try, download from my firmware thread. itll be faster than sammobile or other firmware sites.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Purplezigar:
So I went back to stock with the root66 fw and I did it all over again and its still not working. The CWM version works and I'm back on CyanogenMod, but TWRP is still not working. Could it be because I have BOOTLOADER RP SWREV 1 or Qualcomm secureboot enabled?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I dont believe so. My best guess is its the hw version of your device. Like I mentioned before, they ran into similar problems in the Sprint forums. CWM may have already incorporated the fix and TWRP may not have.

If thats not the case then im really not sure what else it could ben
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Purplezigar:
I guess I'll take a look at the Sprint forums and see any contacting the TWRP team.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Purplezigar:
Just thought I'd post and say that TWRP 2.8.0.0 did not fix the issue. *sad face*
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
