[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shadey1:
They're shipping me a new one today.

It literally just fell off when I picked up my phone. Blatantly got a dud one. I'm going to clean the entire inside edges with rubbing alcohol this time and sit a book on it again afterwards.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Casper34:
Those of you who had their backs shatter, were you using a wireless charger? Also, did it get very hot when it shattered??

I ask cause this just happened to my dads over the weekend. It kept disconnecting from the wireless charger and then got hot. The next morning he noticed it was cracked.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shadey1:
No I think we all dropped it :/

I did see some stuff online about peoples phones mysteriously cracking mind you. Not very clear why.

My replacement back should be here today, if it's here at a good time I will fix it now....if not tomorrow night when I get in from work.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shadey1:
Right it is all here again, ready for the next attempt. All the stocky bits on the back of my battery are now not sticky after this run of issues. I plan to go grab something from a diy store at some point today to fix that.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shadey1:
I've picked up some pva on the way into work as I couldn't decide which glue to put on the back of the battery. Decided against the ones that bond together as I didn't want to corrode it. All the other stocky points have lost their stick after peeling off the glass shards.

Tonight I'm replacing it. Wish me luck!
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhinav.tella:
Gorilla epoxy works, also water proof. Worked well with my LG G2 when repair shop forgot to use the double sided tape for screen. Can be removed though a bit hard, did that as well when repair shop did a botched screen replacement.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infinitylook:
So have you successfully restored waterproofing? I'm planning the same thing as mine was opened for repair and local shop don't have waterproof tape. Ordering new back glass and also loud speaker

---------- Post added at 11:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:44 PM ----------

Was yours still waterproof?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shadey1:
No it wasn't successful...it came a little loose one day and as I was heading out that evening I bent over to pick something up and I felt a pop.

That small flex cracked it, I ordered another screen off ebay, some other seller and I'm trying that in a few days. I just can't bring myself to spend the time pissing around with it again!

The waterproofing was not sorted either as their glue was again too weak. They sent me a replacement sticker but it arrived after the break.

I'm also waiting on some gorilla epoxy to arrive so at some stage I'm fixing it again!
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infinitylook:
What do you mean you're ordering another screen? Your screen got damage as well? Maybe you should have ordered from Witrigs.com i think they are providing original ones
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shadey1:
Sorry the back not the screen, the loose back is what broke again.

I think they are genuine but the adhesive they supply is not enough imo. It doesn't cover the bits on the battery and random drops to hold the back down.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infinitylook:
Anyone of here successfully replaced there back cover? I ordered mine from Witrigs.com but the oem battery cover was out of stock so I ordered the custom back cover which is not made by sony. I am afraid water would Leak on the lens or on the flash. Also the custom cover don't have that purple coating on the lens cover unlike the original. I will put a pic here of the my original back cover and the new one I ordered.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bansheleh:
I'll be doing this in a few days when my order from replacebase is delivered. Update soon.

Update:

I think the replacement back cover from replacebase is not manufactured by Sony as they claim. The sony logo was covered, (a method used by counterfeiters when moving fake products into a country to aid in getting it sneaked through customs) and it doesn't fit perfectly. I'd steer clear of Replacebase and go with Witrigs or someone else. If anyone else in this thread has used the 'Sony Xperia Z3 Battery Cover Rear Glass Panel Back Replacement - Black - Original' part from Replacebase can you let me know if you encountered the same problem.

I'll post a picture tomorrow to demonstrate how it doesn't fit properly. No matter how I position it, it's always short on either the top or bottom, letting dust and therefore water in.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shadey1:
I got mine off replacebase, and I think it's legit, it looked it anyway, but the adhesive was bloody dire. They sent me 3, 1 broke after I glued it down, 1 broke after about 24 hours glued down and the last one, even with extra glue came loose and broke. I have another I got off ebay cheaper, and it's been sat there a month now, waiting to be fitted. I even bought some gorilla glue to use this time. I've promised myself I'll do it Saturday and not put it off again.

Having just dug it out to check the 'new' one off ebay looks like a fake, covered logo etc. Breaking the back of this phone has been a right ballache now. It looks about the right size...won't know until I peel off the current broken one to try and fit it. One of the above ones that broke wasn't a great fit either. All I want is my bloody waterproof phone back...

Edit: Just looked at Witrig...it's either going to cost a fortune to the UK or take an age...think I'm going to try to fit the new ebay one...gorilla glue in places and see how it goes. A huge part of the issue is the adhesive on them is dire, even on a super cleaned phone the stuff is crap. Plus I lost a lot of adhesive off the other parts when the original back shattered and I had to peel off the glass shards.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bansheleh:
I'm about to get a replacement from Replacebase, hope this one is better.

"Gorilla Glue offers more coverage as the glue foams to 3 times it's size."

is this glue the best as the option?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shadey1:
I did not know it did that! I was thinking it would be a stronger bond. The issue I had was all the adhesive bits that were not part of the back were coated in shards of glass and lost their stickiness. I'll give it a go. Tiny drops and compressed until it's dried!
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shadey1:
It's worked out fine, the back looks ok, the gorilla glue helped...tiny tiny drops...

EDIT: Or not...f'ing thing cracked in my pocket today...I should've just paid for another on my insurance...
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hipocrazy:
Would the Z3 still be waterproof after replacing the back cover? Mine has just recieved a hairline crack and I'm looking to replace.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheTeslaCoil:
Nope, maybe you'll want not to put it under water.

Play it safe.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shadey1:
Yeah I would not risk it, if you've replaced it I would still give it a few days to make sure the bonds are solid.

I got maybe a day after mine replaced, took it out of my pocket and it was cracked again!

Hi all,

I'm glad to announce we've just published new release of CrystaX NDK - 10.1.0!

For those who don't know what CrystaX NDK is, here is short description. CrystaX NDK is Android native development kit, developed as a drop-in replacement for Google's NDK. Compared to Google's NDK, the CrystaX NDK provides the same functionality as well as several great features and tons of fixes and improvements. You can read list of key features on CrystaX NDK release page (crystax.net/android/ndk), but here I'd like to point out main goals of CrystaX NDK project:

Better ISO C , ISO C++ and POSIX standards conformance

Easy porting of existing code to Android

New features for Android native development

We also include Boost 1.57.0 prebuilt libraries into CrystaX NDK so one can start using Boost for native development for Android immediately, and do it as easy as it can be.

If something is unclear, I'd be happy to answer your questions, guys.

Check it out and enjoy!

[General Questions and Answers] AWheats:
Hello friends, I am new to posting here, but have read lots, and appreciate the hard work the developers here have put in to making Android more enjoyable for users.

My situation:

About a year ago, I rooted my Droid Maxx XT1080 running 4.2.2 with 12.15.15 camera update using jcase's method. I have been very careful about clicking "Install Later" (not wanting to update to KitKat) when prompted for the 4.4 OTA update, but yesterday morning the prompt appeared under my finger as I was clicking something else, and I selected "Install Now" by accident. I am now stuck in a bootloop with no recovery to fall back on. After searching all day (here, and other places) , I can not find a valid link to download the 4.2.2 FXZ so that I can use RSD Lite or another method to return to stock firmware and correct the issue.

My questions:

Is there a valid link for the 4.2.2 12.15.15 update for XT1080M currently available? The one on droid-developers.org gives an error and I can not find another one.

Is there another method for returning to stock that doesn't require FXZ?

Can I use a FXZ for KitKat to fix my phone, or do I have to use the stock FXZ for my phone (12.15.15)?

I am not opposed to flashing stock KitKat and losing both Jelly Bean and root if it will recover my phone. I have my app data and contacts backed up (linked with my Google account) so I am not worried about starting fresh.

Sorry if this has been covered, but I have now spent hours searching and reading and have not come across a solution. If anyone can answer or at least point me in the right direction, you have my greatest thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] POPE3909:
You cannot flash Jellybean from KitKat with a locked bootloader, but you should be able to flash a current (or newer) version of KitKat. Try flashing the following file from your bootloader: http://motofirmware.com/files/download/1063-1ff-obake-verizon-user-444-su6-7-release-keysxmlzip/

I had my bootloader unlocked using the exploit through the Chinese group offering the service. I think I paid $30 and it has been PRICELESS. I can flash anything I want to my phone, including previous versions of Android, custom ROMS and recoveries, and root. Sadly this guy is no longer offering codes, but this has happened before so keep your eye out in http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/moto-x-qa/china-middleman-t2751177 for an update. This thread might be an alternative, but I don't know how long until they devise a method for unlocking the bootloader in KitKat: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2792487
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tbkbt:
Hi, my phone came as a re-furb and it had a united arab emirates rom on it(ramadan dates on calendar, all languages set to arabic etc.), wifi was working on this rom fine.

i upgraded to xxungng8 and wifi also worked. the next day when i took my phone off charge it dropped wifi. the only way i was able to get it back was installing the adam kernel. i had tried updating the modem(non hlos wifi fix). that was last friday, the wifi stopped working the nxt time i had finished charging my phone, now i cant get wifi working atall, it did work once after the battery had ran right down and i recharged it, but only for a few minutes. i changed the rom to xxufnc9 because on the thread it showed it fixed it for a lot of people but not me unfortunately.

when i try to turn on wifi the slider goes across to the 1 but is grayed out, it then jumps back to 0, and does the same each time i try to start wifi. ive got a build.prop file(through adam kernel) which changed the setting from true to fasle also.

i have tried updating the modem to the latest(GNk4) but it wont take on the phone, when i dial *#1234# i get

AP:i9505xxufnc9

cp:i9505xxufnc9

csc:i9505oxafnb8

i think if i can get the phone to take the wifi fix modem this should solve it?

i have tried flashing with oden, getting pass, manually rebooting(both power for 10 secs and battery pull), then flashing again straight into recovery then reset but no luck so far.

Any help would be great, thanks.

so obciously when i tried the update the modm it didnt take.

Hallo,

I've got a N4 Stock and yesterday the screen just went black. The phone is not loading (no battery sign and no LED lighting).

I already tried to go to Recovery Mode via pressing Power+VolumeDown while plugging in. Unfortunately only thing I get is a solid red LED for ca. 10 seconds and then nothing.

I assumed that the battery died because of temperature shock since I had been jogging in the cold just before the phone died. But battery change unfortunately didn't help (still the same response. Am I supposed to perform some sort of reset after battery change?)

My question is following: any chances to rescue the phone or even more important to retrieve data from it?

Thanks in advance!

I would really appreciate any help:)

try holding power and volume up for 1 minute with the device unplugged (it simulates a battery pull) after 1 minute, release the power and vol up buttons and plug the device in.
