[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -BlackDranzer-:
I rooted my phone, installed whatsapp and it was

working fine, then i installed some other root requiring

apps.. ( I UNINSTALLED MOTO CARE).it wss still fine, i

made a CWM recovery backup... had to factory reset

for some reasons so before doing it i created an APK

+DATA backup with MyBackup Pro performed reset and

restored the whatsapp backup but found it saying that

"Your Version of WhatsApp got obsolete on Dec,2014

your current device date is Sep,2014" cleared data

reinstalled app, same problem. Did a factory reset,

same problem... Finally restored the CWM backup

WhatsApp works now but if i clear data or reinstall i

get same problem. So I have time till the next version

comes out. Is there any way to fix it without restoring

stock firmware. I think some root requiring apps

messed up with the date and time or Whatsapp.
[Xperia Z2 General] jakobdz:
Hi everyone,

My topic is about waterproof Xperia and how really it is,

Sony today insists that waterproof is joker to bring more clients,

For me i had a bad experience with Sony, First Water Resistant phone i had is Xperia Z, I tested it in water cautiously because i putted in mind that it is water resist and its never damaged, then i moved to waterproof Z1 Compact, I really loved it Very good Battery Very good Processor in Compact size,I Decided to take with me to waterfalls to take pictures and its dead for month then back to life with no back-light panel!! (All working fine just the screen's back light off)

Today I have Z2 and yesterday i do the same thing take it to waterfalls, work fine taken pic with mates without put it underwater just drizzle of waterfall; then i see back camera get vapor inside!! the phone shut down itself i try to wake it but nothing, i putted it in my t shirt till i back to home.

when i backed to home i buy rice and put it in side for 4 Hours; Vapor out from back camera, i tried to start the phone again, vibrate OK but just dark screen; immediately i switched off again and put it in again in rice (learned from some YouTube video) for a night about 12H in morning i switch it on and its working fine, i test most function working fine till now. this is my experience.

What i want to say that waterproof its just luck, Most of you will say its not Professional it's just for accidental drop, i just say its certified IP58!! but the problem its Sony don't finish their phone correctly because there is still Xperia waterproof phone work fine even in sea. for me i'll never put a phone underwater ,i'll do it again ;)

Edit:

Confirm, Its work like charm

Edit 2:

i'm suffering from DOA (Dead on Arrival) From time to time, i'm not sure about source of problem(not firmware)???

best regards.
[Xperia Z2 General] mariosraptor:
To be honest I haven't tried. But a friends Z worked fine in water even after service that were made it due to a cracked screen (official service).

But I know lots of people that have S5 have put the multiple times in sea water and they are working all fine. So to me samsung has done a better work after reading that a lot of people here have had water intrusion or even humidity.
[Xperia Z2 General] BR4DOKYBrazil:
I have owned a Xperia Z and now own a Z2! When had my Z, even though he could not be submerged in chlorinated water (pool) I put several times and still works very well in the hands of a friend to whom I sold it. My Z2 is always dirty when I wash in the shower or on tap, never had a problem!

I believe some units really should come with manufacturing problem!
[Xperia Z2 General] Ruku1994:
I guess you have bad luck. My xperia z2 is working fine after taking underwater photos. I also wash it every week in the tap water and still nothing bad happened. Just check if flaps are correctly closed before submerging.
[Xperia Z2 General] Q.Entity:
Indeed bad luck. Submerged mine many times in a pool to about 2 m.

As long as the flaps are properly closed it works.

Do a web search and you will find a guy in Sweden who had a phone in the Baltic for 6 weeks at 10 m and it worked.
[Xperia Z2 General] GuestD2766:
I put my Z2 in my marine aquarium to take photos, I use it to read reddit in the shower sometimes, so far so good :D
[Xperia Z2 General] Amritttt:
I've done so many times with my z1 and z2 but my z1 got ****ed because i took it in salt water in Thailand it was not functioning properly. Then i washed it with clean water then it was fine but after 4 months the screen was gone. Then i bought z2
[Xperia Z2 General] tleung11:
I didn't tested with Z2 yet, but I always wash my previous phone Xperia V with running water if it's dirty, and last time I take it with me for boating, soaked with salt water, no problem at all, even the usb cover is loose (just the plastic link broken). battery is removable, causing less water-proof, but still no problem.

Z2 plastic covers are not tight, did you make sure it's secure before you take it to moistly area?
[Xperia Z2 General] Mr.R™:
Had my phone in a pool, sauna, shower and wash it often to remove dirt, grease, oil etc, still works perfectly :)

I do however get condensation under the rear camera afterwards occasionally but it always clears up in a day or so and still works just fine :)
[Xperia Z2 General] bgdrls:
This is pics of my properly covered old Z2 (2 weeks old), after 2-3 mins in hotel pull (1.5 m deep).

Front & rear side was full of water, and after 5-6 mins Z2 was completely dead.

I bought Z2 in authorized Sony distributor (Comtrade) in my country (Serbia).

P. S. Z2 was not constantly under water. I just made couple of pics.
[Xperia Z2 General] V4LKyR:
I swim with my Z2 :) And I wash it with soap for a few times a week. You know, there're a lotta bacteriae on your phones...

[Xperia Z2 General] electrash:
I have Xperia Z1.

I have been in sea water for half hour almost every second day this summer, i have lot of pictures and videos to prove.

And i didnt have a single problem with my waterproofing, i dive a little bit, up to 1 and half meter, and about 10minutes, maybe more.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InN29dnyFRg

This is video from my friend, diving with his Xperia Z1 for 6minutes or more.
[Xperia Z2 General] Smartphoner:
I had experience with Z, Z1 and now Z2 regarding water proofing and they were up to it! There might be defective devices but that doesn't mean the whole line is. Another thing is that flaps might not be closed properly or open accidently with water flushes so care should be taken with this. After pool or sea water exposure, the device should be washed with tap water and dried properly. Try applying negative pressure with your mouth on mic and speakers to remove retained droplets in them.

Here's my video under seawater......

http://youtu.be/c5JlK1Hwp3c
[Xperia Z2 General] cr0wnest:
Water got under my camera lens and LED flash after bringing it into the shower. It completely dried up after 3 days though. However I'm guessing this was due to a manufacturing defect. Other than that, the phone's waterproof is rock solid reliable as my phone still operates perfectly.
[Xperia Z2 General] GeekyAndroid:
I have had my Z2 for around 3 months now, went to the beach, swam in the sea and had shower with the phone, and it still works like a charm.

I even put it in my short's pocket at the beach and swam for more than 30 minutes before I put it out, no issues.

the Z2 is a true beast underwater in my opinion.
[Xperia Z2 General] david209:
My work fine after alot of water action on a pool. I use it for a while underwater too since friends want to take pictures and videos for there facebook :rolleyes:

Just make sure you close the lil side covers and you would be good.

Btw I notice that they are attach by a lil plastic stringy thing. Would that think hold for the lifetime of the phone are would i have problems with it. Cause by the way I see it they dont look like they would last long. :(

As many of you may know MultiROM is out for our devices and I have the Verizon variant. The only kernel that is supported for the host device on Verizon variant is the stock insecure kexec-hardboot patched kernel for 4.4.3. My host rom is NV Rom which is a 4.4.2 rom. Will flashing the 4.4.3 kernel cause problems or will the 4.4.3 kernel work with 4.4.2. Thanks

[Moto 360] icon123:
I know that is a confusing title. But I am curious if everyone can cover their screen to dim it. My doesn't work when I do it. When I set it up, it even tells me to do that in the tutorial. This watch already had the 4.4w.1 update on it and was at build KGW42N. I saw some were at Q. Mine always says up to day when I check for updates.

So, can you guys dim your watches by covering them and what build # are you on?
[Moto 360] simoncinis:
Same update and build, my Palm cover works fine
[Moto 360] pakure:
'Touch' whole of the screen with palm.. Just cupping it won't help
[Moto 360] Alaris:
Same build here and mine works with touching the whole palm to the screen.
[Moto 360] v3ngence:
You should get an update to KGW42R sometime, but the cover to turn off should be working now.

I know when I first tried it I thought it was just light-activated, but you have to actually press your palm to the glass as well, it need darkness and a flat palm touch. A gentle slapping/high-fiving action works well for me :good:
[Moto 360] icon123:
Thanks for the replies guys. I should have updated to the fact that I didn't realize that you had to touch the actual watch for it to work. I thought because of the light sensor that it work by just covering it. Then I remembered my friend with a LG watch showed me it turn off by covering (well touching it) and then it dawned on me that his doesn't have a light sensor. Doh!

By the way I did just receive the R update and ironically enough my phone couldn't connect to my watch this morning. Rebooting the watch didn't help I had to reboot the phone. This was a newer watch that already had the original update and after 5 days never had one disconnect. I hope it was just a one time deal.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arctic Prodigy:
Hello everyone, I have come to a conclusion, KK is not a good base for any current KK modem, KK modem is just plain useless for me,I even see better results using JB modem on the KK ROM than actuall KK modem, but truthfully reason why I have seen many difficulties with my provider being T-Mobile in USA, I see a lot of hit and miss with getting signal but when I go to a JB ROM which is old and use a JB modem I see wonderful reception and JB base for any ROM seems to be very stable.

Well I know it has been a while since any development for any JB ROM has all moved to the buggy KK ( don't say I see very stable results with KK, be truthful to yourself and our community) but I want to know which kernels (D803 not D801 (Claro PR model phone used for T-Mobile USA)) are still good or still being used for JB ROM, which is best for T-Mobile in USA and so forth.

I am looking into all JB Kernel, stock/flex/pro for the G2 as well as AOSP/CM for the G2, thanks.

Sorry this isn't a best kernel thread, I am seeking anyone who has tried several kernels and uses T-Mobile USA network and which kernel works well, not hey what's the best kernel for JB....you have it all wrong, wish guys like you would stop harassing like this and just read what I am asking for....sheesh.

hey guys,

i've tried no official rom for galaxy s2 , omega rom and even tried few versions of syiah kernels stuck on syiah logo any clue
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Muthzer the One:
Which version of galaxy s2 you have? You can see it in phone information at the bottom of your settings as modelnumber.

Maybe you'd try to flash a rom without kernel first, cause it's likely you flashed the wrong kernel.

So at least your phone will start running. Afterwards we can talk about further stuff :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saber:
Too late to backup data now. You should have done it earlier (unless you've already done that). Next time, use titanium backup to backup and restore app+data. You could try flashing back the original rom you had. Your phone should reach to 100% when flashing anything, so in your case, this seems to be a big problem.

I will keep this ROM updated, always help when I can, and open to suggestions that users may want implemented into the ROM. My goal is to keep the ROM Clean, Stable, with great performance without compromising battery life.

This ROM has had the following MODS

UNIFIED IS HERE! see post #2

Improved GPS

Ad blocking hosts file.

Super SU - FULL ROOT! Remember to grant andriod system root access on first boot!

Build prop mods

420 DPI - (sorry QHD users)

Thanks to Tantrums.

It does NOT flash recovery. So if you have TWRP 2.8.6.0 then it won't get replaced with OPPO recovery.

Removed Apps

Engineering mode

Google search

Google Drive

Hangouts

Google TTS

Chrome

Google mags

Google books

Glass lock screen

Facebook

Google music

IFly speech

Play games

More to come soon...

First of all download the ROM here and save it to your SD card

If you have stock recovery you will need to go into fastboot mode (hold power + vol up until the phone vibrates)

With you phone in fastboot boot and connected to USB (make sure you have installed oppo drivers) flash the TWRP img file.

Reboot the phone into recovery (Pwr + vol down)

In recovery select advanced wipe select everything except internal and external storage.

Then go to install and select the rom you have downloaded.

Enjoy.

I have found this to be a very stable/fast ROM with very few problems.
