[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Planterz:
Sure they do. FYI, the "glass" is[ the digitizer. If "everything works", then technically all that needs replacing is the digitizer.

However, digitizer replacement is far from an easy thing to do. Not only does it require some specialist equipment (suction cups, heat gun, glue), you're probably going to screw it up unless you've done it before.

You can buy just the screen assembly off eBay for about $45, which has the digitizer already mated with the LCD. However, this requires removal from the bezel (again, a heat gun is recommended), then gluing the new one back in. For $60 you can get the entire front assembly (hey, brand new phone!), which is the easiest way to go about things. I'd also recommend buying a new battery ($20) and replacing the old, tired one while you've got the phone apart.

It's not all that difficult to do it yourself. You'll need a T5 TORX driver, something thin, sturdy and plastic to pry the phone halves apart (you can buy screen assemblies that come with all these tools), and some patience. Do everything on a fluffy white towel so the little screws don't get lost. The tricky part is the little rubber gasket thingy that goes over the proximity/light sensor module. Most people who have done a screen replacement have found that reassembly screws up the prox sensor, causing it to always read "near" (meaning during a call the screen will stay off and you can't hang up or use the dialer). The common fix is to put the gasket in backwards.

There are a number of threads here, some youtube videos, and a good teardown tutorial on ifixit.com.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wareju:
I thought the digitizer was what recognized touch input? Either way I don't think I'll be doing any of this work myself, I'll just take it up somewhere for her for the repairs.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Planterz:
It is. It's built into the front panel of glass (which is made up of a bunch of different layers of stuff). Don't ask me how it works, it's all magic to me. But when you break the front glass, yet everything still works, that's the digitizer. If you look up digitizers on eBay you'll see that it's the front glass panel, with a cable and other electronic stuff attatched.

It's honestly not all that difficult to do yourself. Hell, send me the phone and screen assembly, and I'll do it for free. Seriously. I'll even through in a couple TPU cases I'm not using.

If you do take it somewhere for repairs, make sure you ask what they're doing. Replacing the screen assembly, or replacing the digitizer. For a $100 fee, it could be either. They could buy a $20 digitizer and the remaining $80 is in labor, but it'll take them a lot of time and effort, or it could be a $45/$60 screen assembly that takes far less time and effort to do. Personally, it costing the same, I'd rather have the screen assembly replaced, since replacing only the digitizer can lead to complications. Since it has to be reglued onto the LCD, you might get bubbles, dust/lint, dead spots, and that rainbow affect when you hold it in the light at the right angle.

I am using z2 about 10 monts. Today i feel when i put mobile full brightness i observed some wave running from top to bottom. Specially observed when open NDR utility and es file explorer. Before appearing the both applications interface waves appear for instance. I am worried is it ok or some problem. And also today observed brightness bright more autometically, althoug i am on full brightness. Any help suggestion Thanks in advance
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bdithug:
I've noticed the brightness change on its own too sometimes. I always use full brightness (adapt to lighting conditions disabled) and randomly, I'll notice my screen get brighter or darker sometimes. It's completely random, not sure what causes it.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naeem123:
Omg I thought I was the only one, My brightness is set at 100% when I quickly unlock the phone I notice a quick dimming on the screen even though it's at full brightness...
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bdithug:
Yup I have the exact same thing. Not sure if others have it as well, but as far as I'm concerned, it's normal (I hope)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andTab:
Is it possible to change the dialer preference based on location (or maybe even other conditions) via Tasker or anything like it?

E.g.:

If the phone is connected to certain Wifi networks, it should use Skype as the dialer.

If the phone is NOT connected to these Wifi networks, e.g. if it is connected via cellular, then it should dial using the "normal" phone dialer.
[T-Mobile LG G3] xXNahNahXx:
So I was playing around with my old Galaxy S3 and I came across this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1983489

I think it was really useful especially since i blew through dozens of roms and mods and what not.

So i was wondering, is there anything like this for the LG G3 (T-Mobile D851)?
[T-Mobile LG G3] ThePagel:
Yeah just check every box in twrp when wiping. Just make sure you don't select the external or internal SD if you want to keep it intact.
[T-Mobile LG G3] xXNahNahXx:
But what if im not rooted? Or is there no such option for non-rooted phones?
[T-Mobile LG G3] ThePagel:
That link wouldn't work for non root either. Just format the SD in settings the reboot and do a factory reset in the stock recovery.
[T-Mobile LG G3] xXNahNahXx:
Okay soo lets assume im rooted, is there any way to go to back to an "out of box" state without having to go into recovery mode and clear/format any partitions?
[T-Mobile LG G3] ThePagel:
Factory reset only. You can do that with or without root, you can also start it in settings. It will still go into recovery but automatically instead of you manually booting into it.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rozbit:
Hi, I Have strange problem with my brand new Xperia Z3 Compact. I streams my music from Z3C to my Pioneer MVH-X360BT car audio. Every few minutes there is a gap in stream that lasts for maybe half a second. That's very annoying! Music is still playing during this gap but I can't hear it. I had similar problem with Xperia Z1 but I thought it was some problem in old Android and some bug in BT driver. Then I've had iPhone 5s and it worked like a charm! No gaps, no problems with BT. Now I've returned to Android and I'm starting to regret this :/

I've checked everything I could. I've turned on BT visibility, turned off Wi-Fi, checked if no notifications couse this. I've even flash clean stock firmware (originally phone came with branded firmware). Nothing. I've tested many players (Walkman, Power Amp, Player Pro, Double Twist etc). Nothing. I though that maybe problem is in my SD card (I store my music on external card), but: 1) it's very fast card 2) copying music to internal storage didn't change anything. Sound still has gaps. I don't now what to do :( I'm sure that my car audio is ok (iPhone works), today I've tested SGS5 with it and it worked well too. Problem is only with Xperia family (reminder: same problem on Xperia Z and Xperia Z3 Compact).

Any clues? I hate changing my phone again and I love battery life on Z3C (main reason I left iPhone).

Please help!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2mal16:
I have BT headphones and I am not experiencing those issues at all. Could it be that your phone goes into some kind of sleep mode and then wakes up again? Try with some app that keeps your phone constanly awake/screen on. Does the issue persist? Can you try out any other BT audio devices and report if the same problem exists?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rozbit:
Huh, I've turned off the 'Queue data in background' (I have polish locale and I don't know how this option is in english so I translated it literally) option in power management settings. Nothing has changed :( Also nothing has changed while I was driving car with Google Maps navigation (or Waze) turned on. Still gaps were present.

Unfortunately I don't have any other device that I could test my phone with :( Only other phones (and all phones works great).

I think I have to change Z3C to another phone, maybe SGS5 (but I don't like Samsung...)

Ehh, tough one :(
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sydrox:
Hi there, I'm facing the EXACT same problem with a few minor differences in the setup:

I'm connected via cable to a philips CEM210. This so called "gap" usually happens when I skip a track(or when the next track comes on automatically).

I have recently purchased the kinivo btc455 and will let you know tomorrow if the issue persists on the BT device.

I actually think 2mal might be on to something here I use stamina mode regularly and I have rooted my device and change tracks via the volume keys.

So the issue might be the phone wakes up periodically (skip track? check notification queue?)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rozbit:
I have all power safe options turned off. Notification queue is empty. I have this problem only via BT. When listening with phone connected to radio by USB, everything is ok.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2mal16:
Try this app while you listen to music over BT : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.synetics.stay.alive

Still gaps?

Also I have Viper4android installed, dont think this would make a difference since it also worked before but its worth a try.

Get the apk from here and follow the instructions : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2191223

I assume your device is rooted as it only works on such.

Speaking of weird bluetooth bugs, my music has been playing in fast-forward occasionally (cm12). I have no idea why this happens or how to fix it, so if anyone has any ideas I'd greatly appreciate it.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rozbit:
Stay Alive didn't help. There are still gaps once for a audio track.

My device isn't rooted so Viper is not an option :/

Thank you, though :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2mal16:
Hmm , last idea , try turning the timeout for visibility option in the bluetooth menu (in the right corner on the bottom when bt is turned on) to no timeout.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rozbit:
That was the first thing I did. No effect, of course.

Sad but true - I have to get a new phone. And this time no Sony :(
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2mal16:
Jeah too bad i could not help, what you could try is go to a store and ask them whether you could try out some BT headphones, with the pretext of buying them ofc ;). If the issue is still present then it may be hardware related and an exchange unit could work just fine. Otherwise it points to some incompatibility issue that could maybe fixed somehow but not by me and my current expertise :). Especially since i am not experiencing the same. Wish you the best and good luck !
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruwsoft:
I use a Bluetooth headset (mw600). Started with a nokia n900 and it had frequent gaps, probably due to wifi/interference. With the Z3C started with no gaps but now get few most likely when it leaves any wifi connection (hotspots).

Since you have tried all options on the phone side, it seems to be an issue with the particular car stereo. How about you reset the stereo by removing all power sources to it then pair the phone as a fresh new device and check if issue continues?

Have same problem with my Z3 and pioneer car sound.... No issues when i used samsung devices... Now i have a Z3 and the sound fails all the time....

I have 2 headsets bluetooth and i dont have any trouble....

The problem is between sony devices and pioneer!!!

Help!!!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StHalcyon:
This is not just between Sony and Pioneer. I have a Cardo Scala G9 BT headset for motorcycles, and never had a problem with my Nokia 808 for music streaming, nor my Nokia X2 DS (strictly used for GPS, no SIM).

Now that I bought my Z3C, I have this random gaps of silence while streaming music. Extremely annoying. Even after rebooting the phone, no resolution. Thought maybe there are some bugs with 5.1.1, so I went ahead and updated the firmware on my G9 from 1.6 to 2.1. Still same issue.

Another issue I found with the Z3C: When music streaming is playing, and I get a text message or a new email, the music volume lowers, but no notification sound comes through, before the music volume resumes. On my other phones, when I get a text message, the music volume goes down, and I hear the audio for new text, email, or whatever.

It is extremely annoying. Anybody know how to resolve first and second problem I listed?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpt000:
Not a Sony issue. Had this with an lg g3 on a kenwood car stereo and the same with the z3c. Seems to be an android issue, as it didn't happen with ios. I am not 100% sure, but I think it only started with lollipop, because I had an htc one m7 before the lg and I don't remember ever having this before...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StHalcyon:
Yeah, I am inclined to agree with you.

With my Acura, the music has zero gaps. But when I am on a hands free call, I get the gaps! So it must be something buggy with how Android handles one of the BT channels. It is extremely annoying. And on the hands free calls, when the gap happens, my telephony audio goes to the phone. And when I try to switch it to BT mode, nothing, until the gap ends. Then I can switch back to BT mode. This is extremely frustrating.

Bump. I've been having this problem for months. I had it in KitKat too and it happens with any Bluetooth device.

Hello everyone!

I also have exact same problem with my Z3C and... Sony's MEX-N5100BT, there's a couple miliseconds gap while the music is playing. The best part is that while I'm talking through the radio's built-in BT Phone, the audio never has this gap... or I haven't heard that since I'm using this radio.

But you know what? This happens so rarely that I just ignored it and got used to it and I recommend you to do the same :)

This year, the M8 had alot of great cases. I myself went through six of them, not because they broke but because I liked a new look every now and then. What cases are you hoping to see this year for the M9? I'm looking forward to anything Spigen or Incipio.
[One (M9) Accessories] Jimmmycrackcorn:
Only case I used on my m8 was the Dot-Matrix case....but I ended up ditching it anyway. I like to have a gorgeous phone in my hand...not hidden by a case. The m9 will be the same.
[One (M9) Accessories] 996:
Spigen!
[One (M9) Accessories] hgoldner:
Already on ebay...

M9 cases are, incredibly, already available on ebay.

I expect the flip case, the dotview case and the two-toned cases HTC has for the M8/M7 specifically for the M9. (The device is rumored to be roughly formfit compatible but there are some significant changes, such as the lack of a duo camera and the power button moved to the side from the top).
[One (M9) Accessories] Super-Veloce:
Same for me, I don't like cases... HTC One looks very good whitout

But I wonder how the Dot-case2 will be, it will be better
[One (M9) Accessories] Jimmmycrackcorn:
it's the same exact case, with a square cutout for the camera.....and a few new colors

the only changes with the app are updates we already get for Dot View
[One (M9) Accessories] .Ryker:
I would enjoy seeing a better looking dotview case. The Dotview case on the M8 was good but it kind of dulled the looked of the phone, I would hope they could make one that actually complimented the M9. Maybe a transparent one!

Decisions decisions!

I had the dot view case for the M8 but it broke within a few months, and a few people had similar comments from what I saw on reviews and forums - rubbish considering its manufactured by HTC themselves. So this year I am going to avoid it like the plague despite the dot view functionality.

Which leaves me back at square one, what to get when I have the new M9? :confused:

don't want a boring gel case, I want something a bit different that shows the phone off nicely. Any one seen any videos of anything interesting?
[One (M9) Accessories] s1l3nt:
Looking forward to the dot view case as well. Pretty hefty update to my s4 with the s view case.
[One (M9) Accessories] OneStepAhead:
It looks like very few of the current available m9 cases are going to work with IR. On the M8 the IR was in the power button. We are trying to figure out where the IR is on the M9 exactly so we can make a hole for it. Might have to push our cases back a bit until we can confirm the location of it.
