[Xperia Z3 General] Indicious Flow:
It is supposed to reduce reflection during usage of the phone when it is turned on. Most glass panels are reflective when there's no surface lighting on it.
[Xperia Z3 General] robstunner:
Not sure of they are doing a good job with that
[Xperia Z3 General] toasteruk:
I've just heard the digitizer is quite prominent on the Z3. A Google search has lead me here.

Strangley, in the past I had a noticeable digitizer in sunlight on a replacement Nexus 4. It's the only phone that has had it, so it was obviously a mistake in the manufacturing somehow as I've replaced screens and had replacement Nexus 4's and 5's. It did annoy me. Yes, most of the time you wouldn't see it, but in the summer, you'll often see it and detracts from what you're looking at on the screen. Looking at a screen in sunlight is already pretty crap in that you can't see it very well. But then to have an electronic grid staring back at you is even more annoying.

This has unfortunately put me off a Z3 and it's another excuse for me to upgrade my N5 to an N6.
[Xperia Z3 General] hanime:
I also noticed this on my Nexus 5, and now I see it on the Z3 as well. It doesn't bother me when the screen is on though. Pixels look smooth for me. Perhaps you have your screen less than 50% brightness?
[Xperia Z3 General] panzerscope:
Really not an issue unless you plan on shining a torch on your phone screen...seriously do we worry about something which is small?
[Xperia Z3 General] abhinav.tella:
I did not notice it, I guess you have to be actively looking for it.
[Xperia Z3 General] viking2.0:
Its not a big deal at all. Screen functions very well inspite of it
[Xperia Z3 General] Jonathan-H:
Adding my voice to the "It's not an issue" crowd. Seriously, the M8 also had the digitiser panel you could see if you looked under the right light.
[Xperia Z3 General] codeda:
I think if you live anywhere sunny it is a problem. I live in southern california and bought it while sick . Been using it for 4 days and loving it. Finally used it outside today and our bright sun and the digitizer equals a blinding experience. Doesnt matter what the brightness is on. I spend a lot of time outside so probably a deal breaker for me. Had it on m nexus 4 and 5 but it never hindered me from being able to read outside. Im assuming if i lived somewhere less bright it wouldnt be a problem.
[Xperia Z3 General] Jiyeon90:
It's never visible when the screen is on, duh

Sent from my Xperia Z2
[Xperia Z3 General] :
In my Z2 is very visible when there is strong light, but not necessarily in direct sunlight. Indoors, in a sunny day, you can see it if you have minimun brightness. I only noticed it after screen replacement 2 months after purchase, so maybe some batches are worse. A pic of mine, screen of.

hello, may I notice from my xperia very hot when I browse in 3g. yet I do anything huge, I'm on facebook instagram and other apps of this kind. I kitkat was then I passed in 4.3 but I still have that problem, and the same when I charge and I use it. if you have any solutions thank you in advance
[Sony Xperia M2] -alexnet-:
I have the same problem on 4G. I guess that overheating during charging migt be expected :(
[Sony Xperia M2] gabivarzan:
I see there has been no activity on this thread since September 2014, but I too have the same problem with my xperia M2:

both on 3G and 4G the phone is overheating, even though I only do some browsing, or Facebook scrolling....

The overheating is not happening when on wireless.

The phone is currently running 4.4.4, and it is rooted

Anyone has a fix for this?
[Sony Xperia M2] aidy.lucas:
Its gonna get warm. I've seen 37c on my phone. That's why Sony throttled the chip to 1.2htz to stop it over heating. It's near the camera I think. Lots of other factors like the screen brightness, is it in a case, do you get good reception and how much is running in the background. Personally I don't think you have owt to worry about unless you over clock it.

[Sony Xperia M2] gabivarzan:
ok. thanx for the tips.

the idea is that I only have the phone for about one week, so I wasn't very sure if that heating (you're right - around the camera) was normal.
[Sony Xperia M2] proadi96:
That overheating is expected I guess. I discovered that it usually overheats when theres a lot of background processes and also while charging. But sometimes the middle-top part of the screen also overheats a lot and it feel like dangerous. Really u can nearly hurt your finger when you scrolling down Facebook. I guess that's just the way M2 is built so there's no fix for overheating. Maybe of u under volt the chip, then it will save battery and probably won't be overheating anymore but the speed would be greatly reduced.
[Sony Xperia M2] gabivarzan:
I see...

Besides the fact that the overheating is rather uncomfortable, if there is no harm done to the device, I can leave with it.

I googled the problem and it seems that the overheating is indeed a common problem for Xperia M2.

I just hope not to damage the device on the long term.
[Sony Xperia M2] aidy.lucas:
It'll be fine fella I regularly get 6hrs+ screen on time I'm always on my phone and so far all is good 9mths on. And as the back is plastic n not glass as on the z range so no sudden cracking of the back.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TraderJack:
Ok. So I know that KitKat is not supposed to play Flash normally.

My wife just got the S5 and I got the M8.

She's pregnant and has this app from the Play Store:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.babycenter.pregnancytracker&hl=en

On our old D2s, the videos in this app played fine.

When she attempts to play the videos from her new app on the S5, the majority of them play sound but show no video.

We tried to play from the chrome browser this video which is also in their app:

http://www.babycenter.com/2_inside-pregnancy-weeks-21-to-27_10312242.bc

It also fails to play video.

Now this is the strange part. They play on my M8 perfectly fine - both from within the app and from Chrome.

We both are on 4.4.2 stock ROMs.

So I'm confused because I thought the S5 was meant to be the "it" phone for screen/camera/etc... I don't understand.

If these videos were being rendered as flash, then they shouldn't play on either of our phones...so I'm guessing they are not flash, and since we are getting audio and not video, there is something up with the video drivers?

Any advice would be appreciated - my wife is bummed out not just because she can't watch these videos, but because my phone works and hers doesn't!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcollier:
Having a great screen and camera really isn't related in this context. I didn't try the app, but just loaded the link about in the Chrome Beta launcher and the video displayed and played just fine.

[IMG="Screenshot"]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/297937/Screenshot_2014-09-07-12-47-29.png[/IMG]
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TraderJack:
Well having a great screen among other things would usually attract people who like to consume media on their device. So it would make sense that the phone was optimized for consuming video.

Thanks for trying...but I just downloaded the Chrome Beta and have the same issue - sound, but no video (just white where the video should be).

Nothing really has been done to this phone other than basic setup - so I don't understand why it wouldn't be playing.

When viewing this page in IE on my computer I get the error that flash is not installed....so this video is apparently Flash. If that's the case, why would it work at all since the device is not meant to play flash?

I installed a program from the store called FlashFox which *did* render the video as if it were on the computer (including advertisement, which doesn't play on my M8).
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DerpMagoo:

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] kogir:
I recently got a Cingular 8525 and really want the threaded features that the Palm application seems to provide. I've looked around a little bit and found nothing compelling for free or for sale. Everything I've seen so far is bloated (.NET), buggy, or ugly. No offense intended.

I'm proficient in C++ and have written some PPC 2003 applications in the past so I'm going to roll my own program in my free time.

These may not all be possible but my goals for the first release are:

Plays nice with Pocket Outlook (messages and their state (new, read appear in both places)

Integration with Notifications (display message and launch application in the usual manner upon receipt of a message)

Integration with Contacts application

Proof of concept design (SMS only, minimalist interface)

I'll then post it and the source code and see what additions and visual enhancements poeple want most.

First:

All I've seen of the Palm application are some screenshots on engadget. Would someone with the Palm application be willing to send me a series of detailed screen shots showcasing their favorite UI features?

I can tell when a UI is done well and when an application looks good, but I'm no good at coming up with stuff myself.

I only ask about UI features now to help me architect things in a way to make help me more easily implement features people want later.​

Second:

Are any developers out there able to point me in the right direction for the Pocket Outlook and Contacts integration stuff? I'm currently reading a ton of documentation searching for this and a pointer might speed things up considerably.​

Finally:

If there's already an open project doing the same thing I'd rather improve that than make my own. Does anyone know of one?​
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] yak86:

Try to get your hands on a spare S-Pen and see if it works. If it does, get yourself a new S-Pen.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pete4k:
rubbing plastic against hair can create static electricity, static electricity can kill electronics, there is some electronics inside s-pen, so if he is kidding i don't get the joke, since it is theoretically possible. I had this nylon sweater, if I was taking it off I would actually got shocked and could clearly see sparks flying in darkness especially in dry air.

Anyhow as already suggested, trying another pen would be first step. Replacing pen shouldn't be that expensive nor troublesome, if different pen doesn't work either then service call for the whole phone would be in order. Since the phone was released less than a yr ago, depending on circumstances it could still be on warranty.

[Android Apps and Games] AnkitChowdhury:
Hello all, I'm the developer of Game Controller 2 Touch , and currently I'm coding another project which is similar to Game Controller 2 Touch in terms that this app too will allow you to play Android games with pure gaming experience.

As the name suggests, Mouse/Keyboard 2 Touch (name still not official) in one of those unique apps which will emulate touch screen actions like Tap , Swipe, taking input from any regular USB/Bluetooth Mouse and/or Keyboard. This app will allow you play Hardcore Android First Person Shooters ,Sports games like Fifa 2014 to Casual Games like Subway Surfer with a Keyboard and/or Mouse. The app will feature a full fledged Touch Profile Editor just like Game Controller 2 Touch and will be even easier to Setup.

I'll be posting betas of the app occasionally in over here. I'd like to get feedback from the forums.

If you are interested in the project please comment with any feature you'd like to be included in the app.

Hi friends,

Since my SGH-T989 is bricked i couldn't repair it on any service store in my country. They told me that SGH-T989 it's a rare model and we don't have the right support for the JTAG service.

I was thinking about of buying a new phone, but first i wanna to consult with you guys, about experiences with SmartPhones from Hong Kong.

They are too damn cheap compared with other countries.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Samsung...1041813229?pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item257ed70eed

I have found this item on eBay for 172$ and i am worried about if this item would be original as my bricked SGH-T989 that was bough in NY/USA.

What do you think about, should i buy this phone ?

I will install CyanogenMod to this phone because i can't live without it, do you think it will support CM ROM ?

Thank you in advance.

i have a budget of 200$, what do you think is the best smartphone i can buy with 200$
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Darth:
I only know about so many phones. A 16gb Moto G would be nice. Or check out used ones in your price range. Google them and compare to the G... Like "moto G vs whatever" so your search phrase.

If you like flashing things... You could get an N4 used for that price. A little more and an N5 maybe. A moto X for a bit more, but not much to do for flashing. And watch the moto's... Verizon, AT&T and Republic wireless have bootloader that can't be unlocked.

There's probably S4's near that price. Maybe. S3 isn't a very good upgrade, a little, but not much.

Not sure about other makes myself tho.

Last week I broke my phone and had to get a new S4. It is a Verizon S4 on 4.4.2 and baseband NC5. It took forever for me to finally get everything installed correctly to flash HyperDrive RLS18.1. I have HyperDrive running now but my wifi signal is very weak for some reason. At first it wasn't working at all and I fixed it with the safestrap module but now if I go about 20 feet away from my router I lose wifi signal. Even when I'm right beside my router I only have 3 out of 4 bars of signal. Any idea what the problem could be. I've spent over 8 hours today and last night trying to get this rom working because I loved it on my previous phone.

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllAboutTheCore:
From the pictures I've seen, I'd say it doesn't allow for a lanyard to be connected (If the pictures on Sony's own site are anything to go by) ... I couldn't see anywhere for one on the Compact either but yet certain sites are selling them for that phone :confused:, but yet they weren't selling one for the Z3 which suggests it doesn't allow for it.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] id3alistic:
Thanks for replying... I actually saw a hands on video and the person describing it showed that the lanyard hole is on the left. It's no longer in the corner though. On the left side of the phone at the bottom is what looks to be a black hole. That's where the lanyard goes in.

It's funny all these hands-on reviews and people talking about what's on each side of the phone, yet they always skip the lanyard hole.

I'd assume most reviewers might assume it's the mic hole unless they're told otherwise. I think Sony's the last hold out for lanyard loops.
