[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] s7uart:
Just wanted to let you know my experience with claiming cashback.

I bought a Z3 tablet SGP611BG/B from Very over Christmas and they too are an eligible retailer who clearly advertise the £30 Sony cashback claim via their website: http://www.very.co.uk/sony-z3-quad-...-tablet-black/1458061030.prd?_requestid=88118

I bought mine on the 16/12 and I was eligible to put my claim through two days ago to only find out that it wouldn't process, it was coming up with an error stating that it did not recognise my IDID number. Whats funny is that when I tried to do the claim via Chrome Beta on my 1+1 I was receiving a completely different error it wouldn't recognise the model number even though I was manually selecting the SGP611GB/B.

Anyway I contacted Sony via email yesterday to ask how to claim my cashback, and I received this reply today;

[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] s7uart:
Just a quick update.

I've successfully managed to submit my cashback claim as of this morning. So maybe Sony have resolved the problem. I would suggest that you all try to submit your claims now and see how you get on.

It dont work i have the SGP621 AND I DONT HAVE A IDID ONLY IMEI?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] _Sparks:
Thanks for updating us. I just checked the website and thankfully it accepted my IDID number and I was able to proceed :)

In that case you enter your IMEI number mate :)

No luck for me, same error message :(
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] veletron:
No luck for me either (been trying for over a month), and since i bought mine 3rd Nov, I am beyond their claim period. Sony=dishonest, i'll buy something else next time, dislike being ripped off.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] _Sparks:
You should have made a complaint, your entitled to that £30 cashback!
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] veletron:
Have complained several times. Usually get either no response or the standard 'were looking into it' response. I have a feeling that doing everything they can to avoid paying out on cashback claims is Sony company policy.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] apashu:
Manage to submit the claim today, after yet another routine check on their website. They must have updated their systems.

As for CS .... no response or follow up what so ever, very very bad and poor comms!!!

Success on getting an LTE model through (In the UK)

Long story short I couldn't get it to work on anything getting the 'No Valid Model' error like other people here.

However I tried it in Internet Explorer 8 at work (don't ask...) and it worked!

Curiously it doesn't seem to work in compatibility view on newer versions of IE... Seems like Sony can't code to modern web standards!

Hope this helps someone! :)
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] DHTC:
I tried using Chrome on the tablet and noticed it did not work at firsr but when I checked the option to open in desktop mode it took me to the next page.

Unfortunately though after entering my details there still seems to be an issue.

Hopefully trying the above might help some people.

Well finally received a message from Sony telling me to try again so I did and it worked. I'm not counting my chickens till its banked but it's a step in the right direction.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] veletron:
Out of time for mine

Hi

Due to Sony messing up their claim form for the LTE Model (On purpose?) I am no longer able to claim. Basically you have to claim within 2 months of purchase, Since I bought 3rd Nov, this was 3rd Jan. Sony have only fixed their claim form (from the posts here) recently.

Leaves a pretty nasty taste in the mouth does that. I will have to think long and hard before handing Sony any more hard-earned cash.

[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] jutley:
Same happened to me I wasn't very happy too i can't claim.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] Freelancer247:
Just a quick update, I appear to have received payment today on my LTE model (Approx 2.5 weeks after submission)

It's marked as WorldPay who if I recall do Sony's online stuff and I can't imagine any other reason they'd give me £30. No confirmation from Sony though!
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] Jimneybob:
Tips making £30 cashback claim for LTE model

Hi Folks,

In the field asking for IDID number enter your IMEI number but as a continuous line of numbers without the "-" as the IMEI is shown on the side of the box.

EG

IMEI : 12345678-123456-1

Enter as 123456781234561

Also when you get to the next page the same applies when entering your bank account sort code, just enter the 6 numbers without the "-" in

Hope this helps

Jim

I have the same problems!

I have these problems! I thought it was just me! Glad to have found this forum! I'll follow all of your guys tips. I won't let Sony get away with this!

I bought my Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Wifi only version 'SGP611GB' on 16/01/15, the time came to get my cashback and the website says invalid IDID number...

I will exhaust all avenues and keep you posted, but most answers have been covered in this!
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] securityguy87:
It worked on FireFox browser on PC

After tinkering around with various browsers it actually went through ok with FireFox on PC, I originally tried on Xperia Z3 tablet and also posted on this forum with it then.

So my advice to you - when it starts the errors - change your browser! it worked for me :)
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] scoobydu:
And on the 24th I received my £30 in the bank and a confirmation email that the money had been paid! Well done Sony.

Just hoping they pay the quidco now and I won't mind when the Z4 comes out!
[Verizon LG G3] strodda:
Ive tried a few of them and i like blisspop the best so far. I have not been able to find any LP roms that have expanded/immersive mode? Is it not worked into the roms yet? I forget which, but at least one rom had expanded listed in the features but i was unable to find it.
[Verizon LG G3] acparker18:
The post you saw that listed expanded mode was probably just a copied template from the KitKat version of the rom. Many devs are doing this temporarily as they have not updated the OP for Lollipop since it is still deep in the beta phase. Expanded/Immersive mode hasn't been merged with CyanogenMod 12 yet, which is what these devs are using as a Lollipop base. We will see the feature soon I'm sure!

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amir84:
is there possibility to FORCE the SUN LIGHT mode?( when the phone gets very bright on sun light....)

you know when you hold the note 4 with direct sun light on it, it gets extremely bright and you can see the screen very good...

i want to have the possibility to make it that bright when i want and not just on sun light (cause when i'm not in direct sun light it also hard to see)

i tried looking in setting but nothing there... i can put it on high bright but never like that brightens in sun light

any idea what i can do?? maybe some tweak or app?

thanks

p.s. if root needed for that - is there any root for note 4?! and any guide how to root it...? thanks

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbadal:
Can't you just set the brightness to MAX?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amir84:
its not the same as it get extremely bright.. that why i'm asking
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjrshark:
As I know auto bright should do trick , more than that may damage screen as I know.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amir84:
nothing else i can do to force this ??
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yensed:
I'm really curious if anyone has found a way. It drives me insane how useful the feature is on a sunny day but if a shadow of any sort including my own head or hand goes over the sensor the screen dims. In fact with Auto brightness enabled it actually goes dimmer than it would with Auto turned Off.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SquirtingCherry:
back in the day when i had the note 2 there was a guy who made an app for that. It needed root to work though and you have to apply it every time you reboot the device.

The app was called: a brighter note

maybe he cares todo the same for the note 4 if you ask him ;)
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerys71:
I also need this. it is not BRIGHTER it alters the colors of the screen (they appear paler more washed out) but this results in it beeing EXCEEDINGLY more visible in bright sunlight.

I use my note 4 as a 4k camear with my 60mm moment lens mounted to my SLR so I can shoot pictures and video at the same time. alas it ALWAYS switches away from this optimal mode unless I aim the sensor DIRECTLY into the sun itself. any deviation and it switches back rendering the screen nearly "black" relatively speaking. useless

but that high contrast brightness mode is a DREAM. quite usable ! I want to force that to stay on. also can I do it for a Note 3?

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crynof:
Hi!

I have a question.

I have a galaxy s4 i9505 and want record in slow motion 720p but the quality its very poor.

In other case, the Moto x first generation have only dual core, but can record on 720p slowmotion 60fps.

Why S4 with more performance and hardware cannot record in 720p?. Anyone can explain me that??, its possible change the resolution to 720p?

Thanks you!!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -Ric-:
It has nothing to do with the CPU nor how many cores it has, it has to do with the camera sensor, i don't think the S4 was ever advertised to be able to record in slow motion.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crynof:
Then, if sensor feature, but if can record on 60, 120, 240, why cannot record in 720p 60fps at least like moto x sensor.

It possible modify the software to record on 720p??

Thanks you!

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lepha:
So I have had a rooted 1st gen Fire for a while now. Mostly I've just used OtterX builds.

I love the ability to use the more advanced Android platform but to be blunt? This is unfathomably slow. Not only does it take forever to open even the Twitter app, the persistent power drain is obnoxious.

Are there any low-CPU use ROMs out there? Should I just go back to stock and then add Gapps to that? Could use some advice.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luked3:
I've had the same experience. I've had trouble with games like CoC (screen doesn't always respond to a touch in important moments) in everything except ICS ROMs before I switched to Otterx. Otterx is great because I don't have to worry about storage running out and of course functionality is great, but in Otterx, the sound pops a lot, and there's trouble with plugging headphones in and out. (I've tried a couple different ROMs.) Linaro builds are best for sure so far. I haven't tried a Slim ROM yet. That's last on my list.

Are there any other ROMs that play CoC well and has the sounds working well. Almost wish there was an Otterx ICS Rom out there!

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shiznig:
Hello guys,

My G3's touch screen has been acting up for a week now and I am seeking help to pin point if it is a hardware issue or a software issue that can be fixed.

Whilst typing (have used different keyboards) I cannot seem to press the letter 'k' and the letter 'r' or any keys directly above or below those keys. I wondered what the problem was and started swiping my screen to see if I can flow through the UI of the phone smoothly. Suffice to say that it didn't which then prompted me to turn on the "Show touch" & "Show touch data" within the developer settings of the phone.

After turning on those two options, I could clearly see that the screen does not recognise any input on two parts of the screen. This can be seen in the screenshots I have posted.. As it shows when swiping on the screen it skips an entire column of the screen on both left and right sides of the screen :(.

I was hoping someone could shed some light in this issue since I have been trying to troubleshoot this problem with no avail for the past week. If this is hardware related then what would be the best course of action?

Additional Info:

* Have tried different firmware and roms

* Have tried other keyboards like google keyboard and swiftkey

* Have tried to clear cache and factory reset

* Have taken it to phone repair store and they said they would have to replace the LCD.. Thought I'd post here before I go that route.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
