[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Dzevel55@gmail.com:
When I start up the tablet or wake it up the lock screen comes on but disappears very quickly. I then have to hit the home button again and swipe very quickly. Everything else works fine. Husband has exact same tablet but this doesn't happen on his. . Any ideas on what is causing this?

Dear all

I am using Merlin Tablet PC 3G 7 inch (ICS 4.0 i think ) and i purchased it from dubai and after 3 months from date of purchase its not booting completing and getting stuck at start-up . I already did hard reset by pressing power button + Volume UP but failed and still stuck at start up

Snaps attached in zip file(Mother Board model number and snap of stuck screen at start-up)

Manufacturer : Merlin Digital

If any one knows how to install new ICS ROM 4.0 and from where i can download then please let me know

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nick-1988:
Opening this thread I would like to focus your attention about the waterproofing of our devices. Now seems to be a common problem, have gaps on the glass of the phone. Some see thin glimmers of light coming from the gaps, more or less accentuated. Logically, we must remember that the front panel is glued, and as we all know the glue that is used is transparent, so if the front glass is not perfectly centered, it is "normal" to see the thin light. I hope I do not say bull****.

The waterproof? I invite you all to take a test looking at CPU-Z reading the pressure / barometer.

With all the flaps closed, placing weight on the screen, I noticed an increase in value. Moments later, with the weight still on the phone, the value tends to return to the original, before the weight. Try it yourself and let me know.

bye bye
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corallus:
On people posting they saw light at edges of screen I checked mine and on left side I have a tiny amount of light coming through.

My phone was previously submerged in water with no ill effects.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tft:
who ever started this whole "pressure test" using the sensor is pretty clueless and i find the it nothing more than a bunch of bull for testing for waterproofing. all it really takes is an extremely small entry to get water inside.. even if you try to do this "pressure test" it will obviously increase as the sensor is extremely sensitive to pressure changes, this in fact still doesn't verify the unit is air tight because air pressure is constantly changing.

it's kind of like air pressure inside a car tire... the pressure changes depending on many factors. air temperature, road temperature, tire temperature, etc. the same with the internal phone barometer sensor.. i will have a hard time believing there is anyone out there that has done this "pressure test" and monitored it over several hours to see if it remained the same.. simply impossible, even if the device is technically waterproof..
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bäcker:
it seems you do not understand the physics involved.

If there is only the slightest point of entry the pressure will note rise as there is no closed system.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nick-1988:
It is not a matter of being confused. clarify once and for all the question of pressure, using the ideal gas law (who has studied physics will agree with me).

The ideal gas law says that: P * V = n * R * T

P = pressure

V = Volume of air inside the phone, in this case

n = number of moles of air

R = constant

T = temperature

If explicit pressure (the one that interests us), we obtain:

P = (n * R * T) / V

At this point, we expand P. As we know, the pressure is the force exerted on the area. then:

F / A = P = (n * R * T) / V (1)

In our case we have:

A is a constant

R is a constant

n is a constant

T is the only value that can vary, but for our thinking, we can consider it constant.

Let us now consider V.

V is a constant if the air is the same and does not change the volume inside the phone, if the phone is airtight. In fact, considering the equation (1), increasing F ('m pressing on the display), the equation to remain true, P must increase. If the force remains constant at a given value, P must remain constant to the new value. That's why in the thread I asked you if you happen exactly during the test.

Otherwise, if V has the ability to change (the air inside the device is no longer constant because it has the ability to get in and out), then increasing F, P remains constant because V decreases (air comes out from the device). It happens when we keep the flaps open.

The question for us is: If you press on the display, and maintaining a constant force (let us help with a small weight of an object, instead of pressing with your fingers), the pressure stabilizes at a higher value? or, after rising, returns to its original value? In the first case, airtight. In the second case, well, the assumptions are two: the phone is not airtight ... or maybe it is, and somehow Sony has found a way to make a device that is waterproof but still manages to keep "ventilated "CPU, GPU, RAM, etc. ... components that produce heat.

Insisting that are only hypotheses, more people carry out this test, we will have a more clear idea of the whole.

So, dear friend, I am not confused. Bye

Cool explanation. Are you studying engineering?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nick-1988:
Yes ;) I hope that who have a z3 takes 5 minutes of his life to do this test, and maybe write here the result. If we don't help us togheter,who help? Santa Claus?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bäcker:
in fact I started a thread a while ago in general forums

http://xdaforums.com/z3/general/guide-test-waterproofing-water-t2897886

and yes, it does stabilze and it stabilizes higher than without added pressure. When you let go pressure drops.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nick-1988:
12630

So are you telling me that, the pressure , after I put a weight on the screen, goes to an highter value and stay on it until a remove the weight? Does your z3 do that? My z3, after I put a weight on it, pressure goes to an highter value but some instants later go back to the original value (without weight). And when I remove the weight, pressure decrease from the original value, and then, returns to the value before all of this.

In other words, maths words:D:

Pressure without nothing on the z3: X

Pressure with a weight on it: X+2

1 second later pressure go to the value : X

If I remove the weight, pressure: X-2

1 second later....: x
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bäcker:
I just rechecked, it's as you observed. After reliefing manual force pressure goes below starting pressure and then quickly returns to "X"

I guess it is because of the sensor Logics/design because such sudden pressure changes are not normally occurring and thus confuse the readings
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nick-1988:
Ok but, when you initially give a force on the screen, the pressure go to an higher value, ok... and then quickly go to "X", isn't it? And then happens what you write above.

I honestly do not know if I give you right or wrong about the algorithm used for the pressure sensor. Mathematically speaking, looking at the equation I wrote above, the pressure should remain constant and higher if we are going to put a force on the glass. But it does not happen and both me and you get the same behavior. We just have to wait and collect more test by users ... and if someone will tell us that the pressure is kept constant at an higher value, the answer is already given us
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jiggyb21:
I have a z2 with a cracked screen and a vulnerable flap as I've already had water inside. I just received my new z3. Pressure tests on each device result in the same exact results. They are exactly as you describe. In my opinion the pressure test proves nothing.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmcphee:
Then why DON'T you do the test and post the accurate results don't have somebody that dies not have a clue ruined his phone if he does are you going to replaced it of course not
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mk-Raul:
Same here, ~820hPa without pressure then goes up to ~823hPa and comes back to ~820... After removing the weight it goes to 817 and then back to 820. Something is wrong with this method I think. Oh by the way, my screen is completely centered but I do see light leaking on the left/bottom side while on full brightness and in a completely dark room. I'm really worried that my phone won't be waterproof because of that leakage and I'd love to know whether it is or it is not...
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bokbacken:
Tested on my device and I got the results I wanted, short increase and then back to the correct pressure when placing a weight on the screen.

Isn’t it quite obvious that the pressure first increase a bit and go back to the correct reading?

If it didn’t the construction would be incorrect, having a barometric pressure sensor that didn’t react on the outside air pressure, what would be the use of that?

The barometric sensor is in the phones to give us better height reading, as the accuracy of GPS height wise is rather bad, so it MUST react on the outside air pressure.

There is a big difference between airtight and watertight, and there are many materials constructed that keep the water out but let the air in, you can’t test them with a barometer either.

The topic of this thread is incorrect and makes no sense at all.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hustlervanz:
Try comparing the results when the flaps are fully closed, and the flaps are opened.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mk-Raul:
I just did - 890 without pressure, flaps closed and 893 with pressure but when I openedbthe flap it stayed at 890 no matter how hard I pressed so I'm guessing it is air/water tight.

Light at edges of screen

Hello ,today i discover ,that my brand new xperia Z3 have lights on the left bottom edge of smartphone. Now im not sure it is 100% waterproff ,i heard that some people have same problem but what about u? Check that in ur xperia and write a post (tip: u can see it only at 100% lights setting with right angle) http ://prntscr.com/53c7tm
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sygys:
Almost your whole story is true. But what i have seen on my device is that the pressure indicator is giving me less and less difference in pressure and the time it takes to drop to normal when still put pressure on the screen is getting less too. In the hole of the lanyard cord is a pressure valve that has a membrane to prevent the pressure from getting to high. That's why the pressure will drop even when you press it. If you cover the lanyard hole with a finger and press it tight the pressure should stay high. Mine only does it when I cover both speaker holes also. In the beginning covering the lanyard was enough. So my z3 is starting to leak air out of the speakers.

But the story you are telling is not completely true. I read above that even the tiniest hole will result in no response on the pressure sensor wich is trashtalk... If the hole is small enough the pressure difference you will create with your finger is far greater then the air that can get out of the leak. Wich results in a slow but steady pressure drop because not all the air can come out at once. But will leak out when the pressure is hold on the screen.

So everyone... If you put a finger tight on the lanyard cord hole and press on the screen the pressure should stay high. Or atheist drop very very slowly. If it drops fast then there is a good chance the z3 has a leak.

Keep in mind that the z3 is glued. I have spoken with repair companies and they all say the same. Due to heat and or bending the glue eventually get cracks in it. Mostly this happens around 6 to 12 months depending on how carefully you are with the z3. Eventually all devices will start leaking. That's also the reason why Sony doesn't say swim with your phone on the z5 anymore like they did with the z3 but only that it is OK to use it in the rain. 2 totally different things.

They have had tons of claims with water damage already. Im almost sure mine will too when I drop it in the water right now. The problem is that Sony almost never repairs this under warranty and almost always blame the user. So be careful or buy another brand next time. You sure as hell can't be sure that the phone will still be waterproof after 2 years.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] CasuallyDressed:
I looked into updating my 2013 Nexus 7 to Android L yesterday and hit a couple snags. I was using a guide over on nexus7root, mainly for the files and command lines.

I used Nexus Root Toolkit to get the proper drivers installed and to unlock the bootloader. Then I got on with installed L. Command Prompt got stuck at 'Erasing user data' for about an hour. Not a lot I could do but turn it off and try again. It doesn't want to get past that point. I give up for the evening and just try to turn the tablet back on. It gets stuck with 'Google' written on the screen and an unlocked padlock at the bottom. Won't go any further. I go back to NRT and select 'Flash stock and unroot' with 'Soft bricked/bootloop' selected. It whizzes through a little too quickly and my Nexus is still displaying the recovery screen. NRT says it might not have worked and to select 'Force flash mode' and try again. I do that but still no luck.

The tablet will now only display 2 screens: Google with unlocked padlock, or recovery.

Any ideas on what to try next?

Thanks in advance :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] metalblaster:
You have 2 choices.

1) Start from square 1 and try to install L again using the instructions you have or other instructions that can be found right here on XDA (i wouldnt because you arent installing the actual OTA but rather the developer version which has bugs and such and you will end up having to do number 2 when L comes out anyways.)

2) unbrick your device by reflashing it to stock. there are plenty of ways to do this, look for unbricking on the forums here and you should be ok.

Just a tip for the next time you decide to flash anything if you ever do, make a backup of your entire stock system before doing so, you can do this in the recovery that you install before flashing the new rom. It makes unbricking quite a bit easier.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] CasuallyDressed:
1) I can't update using the instructions as it hangs at 'Erasing user data'.

2) I've tried to unbrick and flash back to stock using NRT but it just goes back to FlashBoot and never finishes.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] wantabe:
You're absolutely right! Always, always make a backup/nandroid before flashing a different rom. But if you don't and like to live dangerously you should at least have the sdk installed and know how to use adb/fastboot! One thing though about restoring a backup, it does not restore the bootloader. Android L uses bootloader version 4.04 and KitKat uses 4.02. The first L preview used the same bootloader as KK but the new preview does not. I have no idea what kind of bugs or worse would result from restoring a KK nandroid onto the 4.04 bootloader. Maybe nothing but I purposely didn't try to find out if it would cause any problems. ;) Couple nights ago I checked out the preview for maybe an hour then went back to 4.4.4. I flashed the 4.4.4 factory image using a modified flash_all batch file then restored on top of that. I guess I could have instead fastboot flashed the bootloader then went straight into recovery to install my backup. Just something to think about, bootloader versions.

You said previously "The tablet will now only display 2 screens: Google with unlocked padlock, or recovery." Unlocked padlock means your bootloader is unlocked and your device now can have images flashed to it. Recovery or bootloader screen? You need to be able to get into the bootloader screen. Press and hold the volume down button, while still holding down the volume button press the power button for a few seconds release the power button and it should go into the bootloader screen. There are a couple toolkits that might help, Wug"s and One-Click Restore come to mind. I've never used them so I wouldn't be any help as far as they go. I can try to help if you want to use the sdk. Do you have the android sdk installed?

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevey500:
On my Galaxy S5, I seem to run into a handful of apps that seem to push the idea of having a dedicated menu soft/hardware button to get to futher menu options.

Obvious the S5 has a Recent apps button in place of a menu button, holding the recents button triggers the Menu-button command and brings up an apps' menu.

The amount of time you have to hold down the recents button for the secondary Menu-button function to trigger is horrifically obnoxious. In cyanogenmod, the delay is much, much shorter and makes working with the menu-button a whole lot more swift.

I know that with xposed framework mods and whatnot, you can switch the function of the recents button. I do use recents a LOT more than Menu so it'd be nice to be able to find out how to change the stock firmware's alternate-button delay time.

I've been digging around in settings databases in SQ Lite editor for a while to no avail.

Anyone willing to help figure this out is greatly appreciated.
