lol I love such posts...

so you hate whole company just because you encounter one lame service center? xD epic! really!

Im gonna hate nutella because in one shop I could not find it! xD

In my country is really good and user friendly service center of Sony and really bad service center of Samsung. So its mean that WHOLE SAMSUNG COMPANY IS BAD? xD

guess what? No. its not bad.

You are bad at judging something by ONE really small part of whole company ecosystem.

Sony like any other company sell hundreds of models of different devices and just because in one country you found bad support that is not really realated to devices it doesnt mean that its bad, and just like you said:

what is the point of saying that you not gonna support this company if you didnt had any issues? really I love such idiotic logic: ""I hate whole company that create hundred models of different devices because I found something bad in my device/support center""

He had a bad experience with them. I believe he's justified in going elsewhere in future. It's basically the biggest power any consumer has. They won't get the chance to do it to him again.

I got shafted by LG's incompetent handling of the Optimus 2X, therefore will never purchase anything of theirs again, no matter how great their newer devices look.
[Xperia Z General] iKillCypher:
apparently the modification they were referring to was a unlocked bootloader. apparently when I decided to unlock the bootloader they seems to know that I did it last time so restoring it with DRM keys it is quite useless

http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader/

Openness is important to Sony, and you can now unlock the boot loader for a wide range of Sony devices.

so it seems like sony allows you to unlock the bootloader but they cant relock it for you, this was the issue with the sony service centre they claim that because of a unlock bootloader they cant do anything, cant they even relock it ?

anyway the issue has been resolved, hopefully once I get my phone back I will let you guys know
[Xperia Z General] gerickjohn:
It is clearly stated on their bootloader unlocking page that doing so will void warranty. They were clearly correct on pinning the blame on you for it.
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
LOL. They would not have to replace the motherboard because the bootloader is unlocked. The issue seems to be that they were trying to charge for unnecessary work. It would have been prudent to relock and flash stock firmware though.

Also, FYI, that doesn't apply in any European Union member state. Unlocking/flashing doesn't void warranty there by law (I know it doesn't apply here, but it proves the passage you quoted isn't necessarily true).
[Xperia Z General] shoey63:
I'll bet the unfortunate users who accidentally flash a Samsung kernel, which totally fries the bootloader partition and hard bricks the device, get a replacement. Borked bootloader = no way to check if locked or unlocked :D

Edit:

Voiding the warranty

If you unlock the boot loader, you may void the warranty of your device and/or any warranty from your operator.

Note how it says "may", and not "will"
[Xperia Z General] gerickjohn:
Perhaps but that could have just been miscommunication or tech support dumbing down terms. But the fact remains Sony warns you that ahead. As for the actions of their "Service Center" I've learned to not trust all of them completely. (Not just from Sony but all the other companies)

Yeah, but may still means it has a chance to still.
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
Not sure how them saying they have to replace the motherboard can be miscommunicated.

Seems like they were just trying to dodge repairing under warranty by any means necessary. This sort of behaviour isn't unusual for any consumer electronics company though.
[Xperia Z General] shoey63:
Sending a phone in for repair with an unlocked bootloader is just asking for a "warranty void" scenario. Either re-lock bootloader by restoring TA partition, with DRM keys intact, or just fry the bootloader, so they can't see what you did:beer:
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
+1. I live in the UK which is an EU member, so they cannot legally deny warranty due to an unlocked bootloader, but I would still restore my TA backup before sending my device for repair.

However, if the problem is a known fault not associated with unlocking the bootloader as this seems to be, then I believe they should just repair it in warranty instead of trying to dodge it. This sort of thing only creates bad feeling and loss of future sales.
[Xperia Z General] iKillCypher:
well here is an update I got back my phone from sony mobile

PCB was replaced together with

Ear Speaker 12.0 Rectangular_WR

FPC Assembly Relay FPC

Cover Panel Top Black

Foil adhesive back panel

Sheet battery FPC

Foil adhesive double black

C6603 Cupper sheet McamB

Cap audio jack Assy R black

Cap USB Assy R Black

Cap SD Assy R Black

Cap SIM Assy R Black

Front Assembly Black RoW

there also said they have tested the phone excessively and certified the phone is up to sony satisfaction, I came to a conclusion that the hardware was defected, when I first purchase the lcd had some stuck pixel now it is gone well back then it did not bother me so much also the speaker volume better, and the ear speaker was changed which was initially the start of the issue as for the bootloader issue everything has been

as for drm key it was never restored

I have no idea how to check the bootloader is locked or unlocked ? maybe someone can guide me through that

[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
Why are people posting the news about Android L in unrelated threads?

We all know already! :D

Look in the service menu. Service info -> Configuration. It will say under rooting status.
[Xperia Z General] iKillCypher:
it is just stated yes but it does not state if the bootloader is unlocked or locked that is something I want to know, not if I can unlock the bootloader also my BE engine isnt working :( DRM key was indeed lost and sony has not restored it back.. :\
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
I think it says "Bootloader unlocked : Yes" when it's unlocked or "Bootloader unlock allowed : Yes" (or No) when it's locked. What does it say?

Also, I don't think a service centre can restore DRM keys even if they wanted to.
[Xperia Z General] iKillCypher:
it is stated as yes that's all o.O
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
So does it say:

Bootloader unlocked: Yes

Or

Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes

Which one?
[Xperia Z General] iKillCypher:
Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
I could be wrong, but I think this means it's locked. Hopefully someone with an unlocked bootloader will come in here and confirm what it says when it's unlocked [MENTION=4675598]shoey63[/MENTION] maybe? :) It's a long time since I relocked mine so I cannot remember.

Hi! My phone can download and install apps just fine however when apps need to download additional files, they cannot save the downloaded files. Multiple apps have had this issue so I think it's a problem with my phone. There is enough space available because storage says I have 24 gb free. I've tried factory resetting my phone but the same problem persists. Thanks!

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedNova1203:
Has anyone noticed that any application with notification access gets that access removed on a reboot? In my situation, every time I reboot the device (G3 Tweakbox I'm looking at you) it clears the access granted to some apps, specifically Missed It! and MightyText. Its annoying having to reenable them in the setting upon every reboot (in which I won't remember too until Missed It! complains about it), thus is there any work arounds on keeping it permanently enabled? Or is this a limitation of android?

[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garyHal:
So I just heard about this "Moto X Play" version of the of the Turbo. I don't know if it is still too early for concrete answers so here's my question. Is it just the carrier version of the Turbo or is it like the "Pure Edition" of the Turbo without the bloat for the GSM?
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmjones2006:
You have a valid point; however, with the phone that went through the FCC that was almost identical to the Turbo, I would be willing to bet that it will be the "Moto X Play", and that Verizon will not get a "developer's edition/play edition" phone this year.

[Verizon LG G3] LaTropa64:
My wishlist:

Much brighter LED that blinks more than once every 10 seconds

Capacitive touch buttons with optional onscreen buttons (like the OnePlusOne), as long as it doesn't increase the size of the bottom bezel.

More powerful IR blaster

Less logos on the front and back

Wireless charging out of the box

Fingerprint scanner on back power button that works as well as the iPhone fingerprint scanner (with option to use knock code too)

Shrink the bezels even more (if possible) while still keeping a 5.5" screen.

SlimPort doesn't work on older TV's. I would rather the phone support MHL. Both, if possible. Or, even better, a microHDMI port on the bottom.

Still have a replaceable battery but try and squeeze an even bigger mah battery into it, even if the phone is slightly thicker.
[Verizon LG G3] jcc2z:
Agree with all of these.

Add:

An unlocked bootloader for all variants straight out of the box.

On the battery; at least a 3500 mAh
[Verizon LG G3] Mystikalrush:
Physically, my only major gripe would be the bottom bezel with LG logo. Cut that thing off, make it as thin as the sides are. Since Verizon was so kind to place there logo on the front, well they found a perfect place where to put the LG logo and no longer giving Verizon any room... big red, always has to have there hands in something!

Other then that, maybe improve the IR Sensor a bit.

Have the latest Snapdragon 810 or anything new that comes out Q1 2015.

3GB RAM minimum.

32GB ROM Minimum.

Keep 1440p.

5.5-5.7", I love IPS, but AMOLED keeps getting popular, but I'm not sure if they should switch over yet.

Same physical bottom placement of course, I love them!

I don't really care MP on camera, these days there all quite well, it could stay at 13, I wouldn't care.

Then the usual OS updates. They are on the right path, tweak it down a bit, keep it more traditional and stock lollipop feel and improve on current LG specific features. I really wish i could turn the double tap screen on or off with stock OS. Stuff like that.
[Verizon LG G3] LaTropa64:
I wish they would keep it at 13 or even less and just work on better quality. The iPhone has an excellent camera at just 8mp.

But, it doesn't look like LG is going that route. I just read the G4 is going to bump the megapixels up to 20. To me, that just means a lot bigger jpeg's that probably aren't going to look any better than much smaller 8mp pictures.
[Verizon LG G3] transfo47:
Agree with everything you said. 3500 mAh. Assuming Q1 2015, 3 GHz Snapdragon 210 or 215, or Tegra K2. Anything 64-bit. 3GB (fast) ram , Adreno 400+, keep 1440p, anything higher really useless unless you're going for 10.1 in IMO.

Also, GUARANTEED UPDATES WITHIN 70DAYS FOR 2 YRS!
[Verizon LG G3] joshm.1219:
When I heard that the G3 had lasers, I had a totally different idea in my head. I hope the G4 is more lethal.
[Verizon LG G3] scy1192:
Thicker and use a larger (3600mAh?) battery. The thickness with my case on is just perfect.
[Verizon LG G3] ylexot:
Definitely disagree with this one. The lack of capacitive buttons was one of the major factors in my decision to get the G3. Want capacitive buttons? Get an M8.
[Verizon LG G3] eallan:
Get an m8... Which doesn't have capacitive buttons?
[Verizon LG G3] xgman:
Just don't jump on the giant phone bandwagon. The size of the G3 is just right.

My bad. I thought it has the same capacitive buttons on the huge black bar that the original HTC One had. So they got rid of the buttons and kept the bar. :silly:

Hi ive posted about my n7000 before but didnt get much help.

I want to know am i stuck using gingerbread?

everytime i use anyother firmware/custom rom , my phone eventually freezes and causes random reboots.

doesnt matter if its stock, CM, MIUI, or anything. anything thats not gingerbread it eventually freezes on.

can someone please help me? i wanna run jellybean :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThaiDai:
On Sep 20th you wrote about "yeah the jellybean stock flashed successfully, the ics didnt. it failed during the FSFactory."

You bricked your device. After that you played with pit files (so obviously trying the workaround).

If you want to solve your problem replace your mainboard. Or be happy that GB still works.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drulo222:
Why does freeze/reboot. Is this a hardware situation or software, because if gb works... that sill doesnt explain anything.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ntech02:
i know it doesnt explain it, thats more so why im confused.

heres my step by step for all 3 firmwares gb/ics/& jb:

For Gingerbread:

i load a custom 16GB pit file in odin along with the 3 part stock gingerbread firmware

flash it, works perfectly no matter what i do afterwards

ICS/JB:

ive tried this 3 ways

1. i load the ics/jb firmware in odin

- flash it

allow for boot..

this works fine until i put in my information as far as my google account and when i go into the play store to download my past apps then it freezes and reboots.

2.i load the ics/jb firmware in odin again this time using a pit file (ive tried multiple pit files

- flash them both

-allowed for boot

same thing happens when i go into the play store to download my past apps then it freezes and reboots.

3. i tried 1 & 2 again but i boot into recovery mode and factory reset

after it boots it still does the same thing.

even on custom roms it happens the same.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drulo222:
As far i can guess, the os installs corectly, but the data not? Well... these partitions are separated from each other. Like if we'd imagine windows on partition c, and program files goes on d:.

But that is not a reason why would gb install and work while jelly bean not (stock/cm).

Freeze when istalling apps only shows that the emmc is there active on those bytes? but on gb aint?

The pit files, as far as i remember, and did use them 1ooo times, allows for repartition entirely, not just where os installs.

Im currently on jb 4.2. I had all the versions, except cm gb. I had those issues, but to me was a hardware like thing. i can install apps but once in a full moon the whole os freezes still(1 frame, and only force reset from power button works). The only way i can install apps safely is by having a partition on exsdcard, link2sd does that, next use symbolic link with rootexplorer and move about 4 folders to sdext2 (root/data/sdext2).

First figure out if you can to see if data partition is alright (use root explorer). is your root/data/app folder empty? does freeze when checking maiils? or if you clear dalvik cache from cwm?

So i got the notif to update to the latest OTA today and when i tried to i got an error....

i checked superSU and it said that my phone was no longer rooted... and now when i try to do over the rooting process, i.e unlock the bootloader and root... its not working, im using the oneplus one toolbox version 3, i had originally used 2....

when i click unlock bootloader, all the phone does is reboot... which is strange seeing as i know it basicall factory resets the phone after unlocking... anyone have this problem? need help
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
If you were rooted before, you don't need to re-unlock your bootloader as its already unlocked.

Just go into recovery and flash SuperSU.

Stop using toolkits. Its pretty obvious that you aren't aware of what you're doing and you're just pressing buttons hoping stuff will work.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohanXDash:
um, no, you couldnt be farther from the truth.. as i have rooted devices already manually.

Also, please disregard this post, i switched the usb port i was using and everything is working now, my front port is faulty...apparently.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
If you were already previously rooted, your phone doesn't magically relock its bootloader. The only way for that to happen is if you manually relocked the bootloader which is bad practice if you're relocking your bootloader when its already unlocked. It serves no purpose to relock your bootloader if you did relock it, just leave it unlocked.

You don't have to go through the whole rooting process if your bootloader was already unlocked. All you had to do was flash SuperSU in recovery to reobtain root.

And don't use toolkits, you honestly don't learn anything at all but to click a button and hope it works. Because there is a chance that it will not work and then consequences will be set in place and then you'll have to rely on users who manually input commands on their phone via fastboot because you're not sure how to do it.
