No problem in my , just recording after about 10 and 15 min closes the camera app !

may search any forum all smart will present some kind of problem ,with z2 is no different !

this guy who posted this statistic was wondering where he got that base

Sorry my bad english!
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
Z3s ive used, none of them have to seem any problems, not even overheating however most of them got warm out of gaming

And about 61.3% of Users > XDA/non XDA seemed to have issues which i listed most of the common ones

(i actualy did math but i cheated and used a calculator lol)

(I did include the people who complain about silly things because im too lazy to disinclude)
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] o0 Matt 0o:
Every z2 iv used doesn't have those issues. Does that mean the z2 doesn't have any issues either? Sane logic.

How many unique users in total? How many unique devices?

You know what they say ..... "Lies, damned lies, and statistics"
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
Z2 it seems oddly mixed, i think the best results would be from an organised poll, not a user written where faults are likely to be common

I took from the QnA section and i counted this at about 3AM, there are some repeats instead of Unique
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] o0 Matt 0o:
I agree about an organized poll, but XDA and Sony forum instantly taint the pool. People are inherently more likely to complain (like off center camera WTF) than commend a product.

OP for an unbiased answer, read reviews online by reputable sources.

I do like how you collated both XDA and non-xda users from the XDA QnA section though. Lies, damned lies .........
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
I have alot of freinds who buy ever Z Series xperia that comes out so alot of them complained about silly gaps and non waterproofing and your taking the "From the XDA QnA Section" too literely

For the QNA we should post in the general section where less problematic users will see as oposed to Qna or Development
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paullu:
I suggest htc m8 if you want use for long period time
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Technowhiteboi:
I am really really regretting buying the z2 and I haven't gotten it yet....:(
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twent4:
Don't worry too much. The gap issues are minimal (I myself had a unit with bad waterproofing, just got it replaced). Think about it, there are probably a few hundred thousand units out there, some are bound to have issues.

Additionally, people are way too quick to say the Z3 is so amazing. Pixels don't die in the first week, meaning even if the Z2 had those issues they only became apparent a while after the phone came out.

To those saying Z3 is much different from Z2 can't have it both ways. Either it's an original device with possibly unknown issues, or a slight improvement over the Z2. Enjoy your new phone when it arrives! Also, if you got it under warranty, make sure to test the waterproofing right away. If it's bad it's better to replace it soon instead of finding it in a year once past warranty.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Technowhiteboi:
thanks for that, I will test out the device once I get it. So besides the gaps and making sure its waterproof what else do you recommend?

btw what should I look for when I put it under water? like to see if its not waterproof? sorry for the noob questions, just new to the xperia....
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twent4:
I can only speak from what I saw, although I came across a few posts with similar experience. Basically I had water under both cameras and it was registering phantom touches, and this was from mere seconds underwater. Camera stopped working temporarily, device was overheating; it was a nightmare. When they replaced the phone they gave me one made in week 23 which hopefully means some kinks have been ironed out.

Also, be prepared for your phone overheating around the NFC logo (just for locating, it has nothing to do with NFC), this is normal. Camera is intensive as are games. You probably know you won't be able to shoot 4K for more than a few minutes. If you accept these quirks, the phone is a beast. Everything is smooth, games run great - if you're a gamer the dualshock pairing feature combined with the hacked display streaming APK are a godsend.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Technowhiteboi:
those little things won't bother me. I want to test out the 4k but am not planing on using it at all. I am new to this phone and what you mentioned ''hacked display streaming APK" where can I get that! :cool:

Also what are you running?like whats your set up? I am planning on keeping it stock, rooted and having xposed installed with mods.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twent4:
This is the thread where they enable Chromecast mirroring on unsupported devices. You're in the states, you guys are basically tripping over chromecasts everywhere :) It worked great for me.

I am running stock, rooted, mostly just for the ability to do backups and mount folders on the SD card. Haven't really found a need to run xposed just yet, but one thing does bug me: the icon size and launcher resolution are ridiculously large, and the "per app settings" module should theoretically come in handy but it messes up the layout. What is it you want to tweak? I can also obviously use a different launcher but that would preclude me from using some sweet sony widgets.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Technowhiteboi:
The per app settings does mess things up I usually use it to fix things when I change the DPI which always works and fixes the issues I have encountered.

As for what I want to change is well funny thing is i am not sure, oh for one the camera. There is a mod for "Superior auto" which from my understanding lets you have more functionality in that settings and also in the 21 mp mode. I usually use a launcher but I will probably try different DPI's first :)

Is your Bootloader unlocked?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twent4:
Nope. I kinda ran my Ion into the ground with messing around too much to the point that I was suffering with it while waiting for my replacement Z2. Even a full reset didn't help it, it was slow and buggy, i think i may have fried something.

So I am probably not going to mess with the Z2 much or flash ROMs, just wait patiently for Sony's updates. The whole TA partition and losing camera quality by unlocking the BL leaves me a bit weary. You are probably more of a photography buff than I am as I've been pretty happy with both the superior auto and manual modes, and the extra camera apps make it worthwhile too (I'm in aviation so flightradar is awesome!). I'd like to hear what you think of it once you finally get it though, at this point I kinda feel like I'm hyping it up too much.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Technowhiteboi:
So the image gets affected by unlocking the BL on the z2 as well? I just bought one from swappa and am hoping that the image quality hasn't been affected or I am planning on returning it. :(

I might flash a rom here and there but am not really planning on it as the aosp camera sucks!

I am a photo taking person lol wouldn't say photographer. So the camera is very very important and is one of the main reasons I bought the device.I also like the waterproofing and just really like it overall. I will let you know how I feel about it once I get it. (should be Wednesday.)

If anything your making me feel more at ease with my purchase, Just hoping the camera quality isn't affected.... :(
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twent4:
Oh **** man you're right, maybe I'm getting all mixed up with the Z3... sorry bro didn't mean to feed you bad info. Definitely read through the forums here to see what people who know their **** say :) cheers

Hello

I was an iPhone user and now i switch to the Android devices , so i'm not really an expert in that kind of devices , so my question is did it worth to root my galaxy s4 or no ?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MAX 404:
Hi mate,

It depends in what are you looking for.......if you are happy with your phone as it is ,no...but if you wish to clean bloatware , do some tweaking that is the way to go
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kipue:
I would say, use it without root for a week or so, and then see if there is anything that seems anoying/could be better in your opinion.

If yes, then do a search and there is (very probably) a fix for this, that might need root and/or custom rom flashing.

If no, then really it's not mendatory for sure :D

why the isn't any touchwiz rom for the nexus 5 like s5

i mean it's great phone and samsung software inculdes good options like multiwindow and toolbox and toggles and .........

why all i can find is about 50 roms with the exact look exact feel the only deferance is more or less option !!!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GtrCraft:
You can do 3 things:

1. Buy a Samsung phone

2. Port a touchwiz rom

3. Look for a rom with the features

or you could install S launcher prime (GALAXY S5 LAUNCHER just as good. regards joe.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Samsung ROMs are built for Samsung phones. Nexus phones run a very close to AOSP ROM, that's why they're all "exact look".

Samsung ROMs are very difficult to port. That's because they're closed source. If Samsung phones have the features you can't live without, that's what you buy - although there are alternatives available for everything you mentioned anyway
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
rootSU explained it the best. On the top of that, think of it this way... if you want TouchWiz buy their phone. Its exclusive to Samsung phones because its more or less a incentive to use their phones because of TouchWiz.

If TouchWiz is that important, stick to using Samsung devices. If you can care less about the features of TouchWiz but like the way it looks, take a look into Note 4 / S5 / TouchWiz CM11 themes found via play store.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vbJoe:
Hi!

I had a battery probelm (same one everyone else seemed to get with there 1yr old uni) where it cuts out at 60% due to the voltage from the battery dropping below the threshold really fast.

Anyway I got a new battery .. my old one was 1650ma (or something like that) I got this new one which is 1750ma (or something like that).. definitely different.

Now I plug my original charger (5v 1a) into the pda and the charge light turns on .. I leave it for an hour and the battery hasn't charged any.. in fact its lost charge as you'd expect if it had been left switched on with no supply.

So.. I plug my motorola krzr charger (5v 550ma) into it and go for a shower/sh*t/shave come back and the battery has gained 10%.. great! atleast I can charge it now.

I also have a desktop cradle charger (5v 1a), same problem.. it sits there forever and a day and discharges... no charge.. (I only got it when I got my new battery so could not prove it before hand)

USB charging works with no problems (not from the cradle one though). So my question is ... Why?

Could it be something to do with my new battery?? I got it from PDAAddons and they've always been good in the past so I believe I can rule out it being a fake.

My new battery is a Li-on Poly.. I've got to admit I didn't look at my old one to see if that was a poly too ... was definitely a li-on though.

I can live with using my moto charger on my exec but unfortunately the ac adapter for my cradle is of a different connector type (female pin sleeve thingy like nokia) so before I search the world for a 5v 550ma version I could do with knowing if i'm barking up the wrong tree and about to waste my money..

Any electronics whizzes in the house say ho!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vbJoe:
anyone? :''-(
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] kecido:
Aahaahaa!

I'm here! Now, what you say sounds very interesting and yet very strange, why?

- Normally more current from the charger should be better, you cannot put in the PDA more current than it's factory maximum (which I don't know how much it is, but that's not a problem), the internal charger (inside the PDA) knows how much it is and how to limit, also takes care of the right charging profile for your battery.

- You don't have to worry about the exact battery type you bought, boths are Lithium, so chargind profiles are mostly the same, these (LiIon and LiPoly) are "exchangeable" usually (I've heard of no problems until now, since several years I mean).

- If your battery is discharging means only one thing, you're not puttin current into the battery, you're taking it out of it! So, either you might have a deffective charger, a deffective charging circuit (the one inside the PDA) or a defective battery.

- You can charge the battery with your Moto's charger, so battery is probably ok, you have used your original charger/craddle until now, so they might be ok, you have charged one battery at least to 10% so PDA should be ok.

What can it be?

Possibilities are:

Slightly deffective PDA's internal charging circuit, the fact that you can charge with a lower rating charger (the one for your Razr, thing that I've done myself two weeks ago), might point to this, because you have already "limited" the maximum current to 550mA (Razr's charger max current).

Slightly different battery, most of the batteries do have some kind of thermal protection circuit inside (chip + temp sensor, etc.), if the behavior of this circuit is not "compatible" somethin strange can happen, however I personally consider this option not to be the best.

One or two of your chargers might also be somehow "deffective", why? Your original battery might be ok and you are just having problems with your chargers or your High capacity chargers (the original one and that from the craddle) have some problem to give enough juice to your batteries.

I surely might proceed as follows:

try to charge both batteries with a stand alone charger, this is not an easy task, because Lithium batteries are the most "delicate" types, charging method is the "strangest" one, I have two stand alone battery chargers that came as gift with some Nokia batteries I bought from an Ebay seller, eventually, I could give you the full schematic so you can construct it (if you want and if you can).

In this way I will not have any more suspects from the batteries.

Second, test each of my chargers, it can be done by connecting a medium -and suitable- load to each charger for some minutes.

A wire wound ceramic resistor should do the trick, ie for the Razr charger (5V, 550mA) I could use a 250mA load, R=V/I, so 5V/.25A equals 20 ohm (1.25W max power, use at least a 2W resistor, 3 or 5W better).

If the internal PDA circuit should be defective, take it to fix or try to fix for yourself.

Hope this helps

I'm gunna buy another 5v 1a charger .. I've had it reported that this cradle charger (5v 1a) doesn't work properly anyway so it may be 2 seperate problems here :-) Thanks for you advice fella :-) much appreciated
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] gibhenry:
Charging anomaly, workaround

Are you absotively, posilutely certain the AMBER charge light comes on fully?

There is some anomaly about charging with a plug-in charger. You may have to turn the device on so that it can recognize the charger, then close it and let it turn itself off; or perhaps it's turn it off then on, I'm not sure, but I've encountered similar oddities with both 110v, 220v, and 12v chargers, and I've seen discussion about this anomaly on this and/or other fora. Once you get the AMBER light, you're fine (as long as it's putting out at least +5v; +5.5 is better).

I think it has something to do with its looking for a [non-existent] USB signal along with the voltage under some conditions, but not others, but that's just a wild guess. Anyway, I don't think there's necessarily anything wrong with your battery, device, or charger. Hope this helps. Cheers,
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vbJoe:
Thanks for the reply, I'm 100% that the amber light turns on. Not only that the screen brightens so it definitely knows its connected. I've tried several combinations of turning it off/on etc during the charge/before but nothing seems to make this desktop charger actually put anything in the battery.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoganJani:
I see Samsung $200 rebate on Note 4. Would they have a similar rebate on Edge as well? Or since this will be limited edition they might not.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xile6:
They will do the same thing but when you get down to it its not worth it.

What they are saying in the fine print.

You must trade in a working phone that has a trade in value of $10 or more.

They will only give you a prepaid visa card for the difference.

So if you trade in a iphone 5 and they give you $200 for it. Then samsung will give you nothing.

If you trade in a LG flex and say they give you $150 for it. then samsung will give you the rest to make it 200 which would be $50.

Also you have to wait a few weeks after submitting all the paper work to get it.

I normally just sell my old phone on ebay and get way more money.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoganJani:
Ive S4. At&t version, unlocked. I do not think I can get more $200 for it, so I'll just trade in in case there is a rebate/trade-in program .
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
You should use Swappa (xda-developers online marketplace). Especially if it bootloader unlocked, means more valuable and I would not give those away to recyclers. Finite number of bootloader unlocked s4's out there.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoganJani:
I really wish price being in this range, Samsung gives some trade in rebate.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
And I am one of the lucky unlocked S4 guys. Thinking about holding on to it as a spare since it's such a good phone. I still have my bootloader unlocked i777 too....thinking about holding onto that as well... these things are hard to find.

About the rebate...I'd just pick up an Iphone 4 and use that as a trade in.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GFXi0N:
For the last days I've been struggling with this friend's device. Some days ago, it just restarted itself and entered endless Bootloop..

The installed rom is slim and cwm recovery.

Here comes the tricky part: only able to enter recovery and bootloader, no matter what you do, the whole device stays unaltered. First we tried wiping the data partitions. It seems to perform it properly, without any errors, but the data is still there, unaltered.

Then, we tried changing the recovery. From fastboot, we flashed twrp, the process seems to go A-OK, but then you restart into recovery and.... You're still on cwm.

Then tried the next level. rm - rf, the process seems to work but... No, no.... The data's still there.

Ok, we brought the big guns: dd on the partitions seems to be performed properly, as usual, the message with the written bytes and that the partition is out of space. The process seems to go as it should, but no.... All the data is still there.

The next step would be calling a priest and bringing some holy water, but first I want to give it a try and ask you guys. What the hell is happening here?

It was only set in the watch and not showing up in my phone, hence I was confused. [emoji12]

That is the alarm clock. If you set it on the watch it will go off everyday at that time. Go in to menu and click "show alarms". You can delete it from there
[Moto 360] vansmack:
If it makes you feel any better, I did the same thing.

I was trying to set the alarm on my phone via the watch (for sound to wake up, instead of vibrate) but it set an alarm on my watch only. It kept going off at the same time for three days until I finally figured it out via Moto's web site.
