[Xperia Z3 General] robbo0055:
same problem

My phone also only 1 month old has bent and blue tooth not working. This phone is not fit for purpose if so many phones are bending. The frame is not strong enough for the size of the phone! will be contaxcting Sony and Kogan for remedy otherwise Dept of Consumer affairs. Plenty of evidence here this is a fault with this phone.
[Xperia Z3 General] Bäcker:
I have my phone since Ocotber, always rides in my front pocket. No bending so far. It's not the phone, it's the user.
[Xperia Z3 General] goTouch:
It must be a joke. Can't see how it is possible to bend this phone. Unless you do it on purpose of course.
[Xperia Z3 General] abhinav.tella:
Its definitely possible, the thinner phones get this becomes a bigger problem as the side "wall" for lack of a better word is important in resisting bending in addition to the internal frame. The front pocket can also create a a significant enough force when walking to bend it people just don't realize this.

Plastic is actually much better than metal for such thin phones as it bounces back to form. This a price to pay when people perceive metal (in this case aluminium which bends easily) as somehow being "premium" over plastics. At least people aren't asking for granite phones lol.
[Xperia Z3 General] Hussain_Salam:
I have the D6603, Today i found it bent and i attempted to bend it back and the metal frame (near the dock connection) just popped out, (Attached an image) Luckily i contacted the retailer and they said they'll replace/refund/repair it
[Xperia Z3 General] abhinav.tella:
Wow, you are lucky, I would not expect them to that. I have been in situations where I slept on the phone and tight jeans, so far no issues though I was worried.
[Xperia Z3 General] PlaiBOi:
I have just had a 3 week battle with Sony.

The back of my Z3 had suddently shattered without any kind of physical force.

I took it out off my pocket, and it had shattered. I sent it for repair, and hoped that they would change the back under warranty.

I was pretty shocked when i recived an offer for repair, and a description saying the frame of my phone had been bent, and that had caused the damage.

Along with a new back, the frame and display also had to be changed at a nifty price of around 220£.

I have no idea how the frame got bent, but the picture showed a tiny amount of bending around the power button.

I knew that i had'nt dropped the phone, so i filed a complaint with Sony hoping for the best.

At first they refused my request for a warranty repair, but after having constructive conversations with the retalier i bought the phone from, and an escalation being filed at Sony, i finally got my phone cleared for a warranty repair.

So im a happy man, looking forward to seeing my Z3 again. So don't accept no for an answer if the back of your Z3 mysteriously breaks.

Sony do accept some of these cases under warranty if you are persistent enough.
[Xperia Z3 General] charlatan01:
I wear what most would consider tight pants, and having owned my Z3 for around 2 months, I've had no issues with bending. The phone is a little big in pocket, and I can tell there's pressure on it when I tie my shoes or something, but no bend.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hanime:
I don't record video much with the Z3 up until now, but when I was recording (SA mode) my family opening presents on Christmas Eve, the video had trouble focusing. The picture would be clear at one point, then blurs out as if the camera has trouble focusing at a point, becomes clear again, and repeats. I was filming from a distance in a bright-lit living room--basically not moving at all. Anybody experience this on their Xperia Z3?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slim207rc:
Not really, maybe try cleaning the lens.

Another point could be your finger, on the side of the lens, even if YOU don't notice it, the sensor could and is getting confused on what you want to focus on.

Try to keep these things in mind and try again.

Sometimes it only takes small pieces of dust to make the cam defocus.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dj_richard05:
It happens with me too. Has happened several times especially using time shift mode while taking videos. Its a software issue I guess as it works well most of the times.
[General Questions and Answers] rehanrox1:
If HTC phone is rooted how can I unlock the network
[General Questions and Answers] alray:
SIM-Unlock have nothing to do with root.

To unlock your SIM so you can use the phone on other networks, buy an unlock code and enter it when prompted to (when inserting a foreign sim card for the first time). For most HTC's phones, the unlock code will only work if your phone is on a stock rom or a "close to stock" custom rom.

There is alternate methods to SIM-Unlock but it require a S-OFF'ed bootloader.

Root and unlocked bootloader will not help getting sim-unlock.

Sony Xperia E1 SingleSIM (D2005) - threads collection

Hi everyone, thanks for visiting :) After a week with my Xperia E1, my first android phone, I am truly appalled. I paid only 75 euros ... but now I am expected to continue to pay, with my data during the whole lifetime? Why does a billion people accept that bulls**t, being owned by one company? I really want android without google now, and determined to learn everything I need for that.

I am building an Indoor navigation app as a project, looking for some help on where to get started. I have bought some courses on Udemy and have a good understanding of android and Java.

I have an image of the floor plan area, lets say 30 meters x 30 meters for argument sake.

What is the best way to display this on the device so I can overlay it with location (you are here) ^ image.

How can I break it into a grid type of 1m sections.

some expert advise is needed here please, I am not looking for anyone to write my code all I need is advise on how to go about it.

[Google Chromecast] shadoom23:
I'm using https://github.com/trick77/tunlr-style-dns-unblocking to unblock several services. All services run perfecly fine except for Youtube.

I've manually added Youtube to it with the entries www.youtube.com www.googleapis.com and gdata.youtube.com.

Videos are unblocked and I can watch live streams (german restriction) but the the quality on the unblocked videos is horrible (480p I guess).

I tried different servers in different locations but they all have the same problem. Also when I use openvpn (to the same server) instead of the Tunlr-style method it loads fast and in HD. Therefore I assume it has got something to do with the method I'm using.

I know this might be a very specific problem (german+youtube+chromecast+diy-unblocking) but are maybe the 3 entries I used to unblock youtube wrong that it redirects ALL traffic instead only the dns requests?

I hope anyone knows anything :(

Hi, I have just bought S4 I9515 and it seems I acted with rooting too fast. Unfortunately my phone has issue with frequent rebooting. I would like to send it to service with warranty but after rooting knox counter switched to 0,1. :(

Did you try installing the firmware again through Odin? There's no way to reset the Knox flag once tripped.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sebalos:
1. But isnt it possible for now or it is not supposed to be elaborated within the closest future at all?

2. Where and how could I find firmware for my phone model each original not branded and designated for telcom provider Play for Poland? What shall I check,verify and take into account during firmware compatibility validation?

3. Regarding issue with rebooting is any xda dev working on it or samsung? Is it supposed to be solved? I heard the issue can be related to battery.

4. Shall I maybe try to send to samsung service counting they will ignore knox counter? Do you know how much expensive could be such repair?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
1. It's not possible for us to do it, at all. The Knox flag is set, as best as the userbase can fathom, via an EFuse. Once tripped, that's it unless Samsung can reset it.

2. http://www.sammobile.com is where you can get the firmware for your device. There is a firmware checker on the site, that when you enter the model number of the phone and the country, it will pull up the firmware you are supposed to have. Another portion of the site can pull up all the available firmwares worldwide for a particular model. You'll have to go over there and look.

3. What issues with rebooting? I have an I9505 so I have no idea what you're referring to. Flashing the stock ROM for your device may cure the reboot issue.

4. You can send it in if the firmware flash doesn't fix it. If Poland is a member of the EU, and I believe it is, supposedly Samsung may not refuse warranty service on the basis of the Knox counter being tripped. I caution you however that I am not a citizen of Europe, so what I have heard is simply hearsay. You'll want to confirm the truth before taking any action. Cost of the repair? Unknown, because it's impossible to know what could be causing the issue. If it's a problem with firmware they'll likely flash it, charge for the privilege, and send it back. If they have to replace the motherboard, that will be expensive.

Was on ARHD 33.1 with xm kernel, decided to reflash my phone with the same rom (ARHD 33.1), I did not flash its boot.img because I was using xm kernel's boot.img (my biggest mistake). My phone was stuck, so I went to recovery and restore one of my nandroid backup. The problem is after restoring nandroid backup, I cant make calls or connect to the internet, the airplane mode is always showing turning off. Tried to go back to recovery to reflash ARHD 33.1, stuck when I tried to flash ARHD 33.1's boot.img, when I connected my phone to the pc, the fastboot menu froze, when I type fastboot flash boot boot.img command in CMD, it shows waiting for device. Tried to reboot, it remains the same, everything looks fine except cant make calls and connect to the internet, and cannot connect to pc and cmd. Any help?

PS: I constantly flash roms and did tweaks to my phone, most of the time I know what I was doing, except this time.

I got a problem on my Atom Life. I pair my i-tech R35 BT headset , no problem at all . I can listen to music. But i hear no sound while receive/making a phone call. :(

I pick it to O2Zone and they said it's a software bug !!:mad:

Can give some advice for some trouble shooting on my own ?:confused: :confused:
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom General] p9939068:
It's not that there's no sound. The same thing happens with O2 Exec. When you receive a call, press the button on the headset and hold for about 1 second. Then release and wait for about 5 seconds. The volume of the sound in the beginning is very soft, but after a while it will become normal. Do not press the button again even if you cant hear the sound in the beginning as this will end the call.

I don't think this is a bug, but a feature to protect the ears (sudden increase in volume may hurt the ears). The volume also increases slowly when starting up WMP and listening to music.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom General] rol801:
Sorry. your method is not working . no matter how many seconds I press/hold the button on BT headset ,

[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom General] p9939068:
That's very strange. I'm using Atom Life with the R35 too, and it accepts calls with no problems.

There is, however, one issue. Atom Life's biggest selling point, it's SRS WOW system, does not work in A2DP mode. That's very sad. Do you have this problem, or is there a workaround?
