[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoXion1:
That's bad luck man, sorry to hear it.

Yeah most people that are regular XDA users take good care of their devices, so I don't doubt for a second this is due to some manufacturing defect.

I am curious though to everyone this has happened to:

Were you using stamina mode by any chance?

Was it hot outside that day, or exposed to heat regularly?

Did you have your screen set on automatic brightness?

Did you test the phone for water proofing?

I'm just asking this because I'm wondering if heat and/or pressure played a factor.

Regardless, it's definitely Sony's responsibility to repair/replace the device free of charge.

They Fixed It :) :) :)

PLeased to report that I put it into Car Phone Warehouse for repair, and they sent it to Sony, who fixed it for free (and flashed Lollipop to boot!).

Very happy, and very happy I have my SD card back (due to Lollipop)

What were google thinking hobbling it like that in KK?

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoXion1:
Nice congrats on getting good customer service and your phone back. [emoji4]

KitKat was actually released as a "security only" update. Google implemented SD card restrictions with the KitKat update after scrutiny over it's "lax" security by people such as Phil Schiller (Apple marketing exec) and others. This scrutiny had a snowball effect which eventually led to the SD card frustration we've all dealt with on KitKat.

While the Lollipop update addresses some of these frustrations, it is FAR from perfect and still causes problems for many users.

Following the locked bootloader rooting guide by G-Face (so you can keep your DRM keys) and then running SDFix from the Play Store, resolves all issues resulting from the SD card access issue (for both KitKat and Lollipop).
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ripnetuk:
SD Card access is perfect now..

Cheers :)

IMHO SD card access is perfect in Lollipop (apart from needing specific support - would be nice to externally say " I want obscure program X that isnt lollipop aware (eg. rsync in my case) to have access, but what is have allows dropsync and ES File explorer access, which is good enough for me...

Im scared to root phones now, since a lot of companies deny warranty if that is done. Illegal or no in the EU its a fight i dont have time to have...

cheers

Got bitten tonight

Went out to eat with my family this evening, as we were leaving, I tried to unlock my phone to check email, but the touch screen was non-responsive. After closer inspection I discovered several hairline cracks on the screen. What's really odd is the phone was fine when we sat at the table, evening doing a quick search for my father in law. I put the phone in my front pocket by itself. 30 minutes later the screen was cracked., I'm hoping T-Mobile or Sony will help me out, otherwise I'm done with both.

Took my Z2 to Florida with me in June, perfect condition.

I was on Facebook in my hotel room when I felt and heard the rear glass crack under fingers.

It's the second time the rear glass has cracked on my phone and Sony have repaired it both times, although this time my headphone jack has suddenly stopped working when it came back from repair.

I'm starting to get a bit frustrated at having to have this phone repaired three times, I'm usually quite a fan of sony products but maybe i'll avoid their smartphones in the future...

Self cracking xperia phones

I have started a petition to try and get Sony to admit that many of their phones ARE self cracking. Sony needs to be held accountable, and stop blaming their innocent customers for their faulty products. Go to change.org and search for Sony Xperia Self Cracking Phones

Running Adrenaline 2.3. Just did a clean flash to fix some issues. I installed the Facebook app and it's showing the number of notifications on the app. It never used to do this. I have all notifications disabled in the app and I've turned off notifications in App Manager for Facebook as well. Not a big deal, just a nagging issue, but if anyone has a way to get rid of this I would appreciate it.

If you update your phone via OTA you might lose Google Services to work properly.

Here is a zipfile with basic google setup for you to flash after Lollipop OTA via custom Recovery

Thanks, if i am on offical Rom, How can i flash it? Because i have trouble with all google apps and i don't have time to backup to do reset.

You can only flash this via recovery

It work fine until I star use some apps like Clean Master, Greenify, and other. The bug appears after I reboot the phone. I Follow other guide to install the Gapps and all is very fine. no more bugs.
[HTC One E8] luar_mr:
DutchDanny Thanks for help people with this update. But I can apply via recovery. I have a official version recently update by OTA

Didn't find my file. Do you know when i found the tutorial for apply the recovery.

I was inside recovery, i try apply from sd or internal memory and is failing.

melquisedec can you said the alternative way that you use.
[HTC One E8] DutchDanny:
You need to flash a custom recovery after the update.

Recovery can be found in original development thread.

After that add zip on SD and flash via recovery
[HTC One E8] NanZ315:
this is the solution i had posted on another thread...

Don't worry. Same thing happened to me. After factory resetting your phone, open the HTC app store and search for GMS. The first option will have GMS (followed by some Chinese...it'll have the android icon). Download that. After its downloaded, click on the GMS app from the app drawer. Follow the instructions and it will download the Google apps. Once downloaded, remove your SD card and type *#*#442#*#* in the phone dialer. It will automatically restart your phone and install all the Google packages!
[HTC One E8] luar_mr:
I test the DutchDanny option. At the moment works for me. If i detect problems i use this solution, it look easy..

Probably my question was incorrect and not so clearly. :)

Same for me. But I don't have LTE yet. So didn't bother too much.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doenen:
maybe you can try this:

FIX 4G PROBLEMS

edit build.prop

- look for 'telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice=0' and change it to 'telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice=1'

look for 'ro.semc.version.fs=GLOBAL-HSPA' and change it to 'ro.semc.version.fs=GLOBAL-LTE'

reboot your phone

type *#*#4636#*#*

Select phone informations (first menu)

turn off radio

in network prefered I've selected TD-SCDMA, LTE, CDMA, EvDO GSM/WCDMA

turn on radio again

exit

type *#*#4636#*#* again and look in network prefered, it will be on LTE/GSM auto (PRL) and 4G should be there

For now, the battery drain isseu seems to be fixed, but i do not have 4G/LTE.

I already encounter this issue, and after the service menu manipulation, everything got back in order.

I tried to do the same manipulations, but i can't turn off radio. It's like it was locked.

Any ideas ?

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] fatouraee:
:) Hello XDA-DEV .

I needed some opinions about this phone. I checked all the reviews that were online , I have been studying about this phone for sometime now. Let me tell you about me and then I will ask for your opinions. I currently am using a HTC TYTN and it’s a ok device. I have a O2 XDA EXEC that I bought 6 months ago and I love the device but poor signal were I live ( MA, USA ) I mean I have owned many HTC devices ( TREO 750, HTC Apache , HTC TYTN , HTC Wizard , HTC Universal , Blue Angel and DASH and many other devices like BB 8800 and 8700g and 8100 and TREO 650 and 600 , but WM is the way for me) I still have all these phones. My questions is that I love the screen and performance of the O2 XDA EXEC but the signal is very bad. I mean day and night between that and TYTN. I have tried pretty much any ROM that ever came out cooked or shipped with all the radio ROMs out there still nothing. So my questions is that how is Advantage, I am buying one this week but before I spend my money on it I want to see if it is worth the money.

Form all the people that have Advantage or AMEO or U1000 could you give me some opinions also size wise is it a lot bigger than Universal or NO?

Also if anyone lives on NE area in USA how is your experience with this device.

Again I appreciated all the effort that this community has done and all I can say is thank you.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] findus:
My personal opinion is that it does feel quite a lot bigger than the Universal, but it is totally worth it! TBH, neither fits in your jeans pocket so once you get to Universal size then it doesn't matter if a device is a bit bigger if it is packing what the Athena is packing. Can't help you when it comes to signal, although I personally have had no problems at all.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] fatouraee:
Thank You. Honestly i dont think the size is really a problem. do you use this as a phone also. how is the day to day phone call operation. is it a pain or no.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] fards:
I use mine as a normal phone, when cycling it's on wired headset, rest of the time I hold it to my ear..

'tis big, but hey so what :D
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] LTxda:
I went from the TyTn to the Athena. I loved the size of the TyTN with the exception of the screen size. Screen size just didn't feel right. I was a bit apprehensive before going to the Athena but don't regret it one bit. I was also discouraged when I found out that you couldn't hold it up to the ear like a regular phone but now that I've been using it for a while, I love it and much better. Phone is MUCH more stable than the TyTn, faster, etc. If I had to choose it would only be between the Universal and Athena. Are you experiencing the screen alignment issue with your TyTN?

Edit: Also, bluetooth on Athena works better than on TyTN.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] fatouraee:
from what i've heard so far this device is great. i have been waiting for it to come here and i will get me one 2maro. i cant wait till get it in my hands. i love the features. i was gonna get iphone but i phone has nothing on this.

i wanna say thank you for your opinions. it mean alot.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] fatouraee:
no. but everytime i put this phone to my ear , it seams to hit something in the screen casue i keep hearing keytone. but i never had this problem with Uni, witch has bigger screen.

TYTN is ok but it is slow. i mean it freezes on me all the time. it takes 4ever for it to load.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] LTxda:
Yes, you're right...it does freeze a lot and is slooooooooooow. You need to get an Athena. You won't regret it. I have the www.jawbone.com as my bluetooth headset and works great. Also, not sure if it was a hardware or software issue but they keyboard on the TyTN sucks!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] findus:
I use it as my only phone. Most the time it is paired with my Jabra BT8010 which makes it much more useable as a phone. However I hold it up on speaker phone if my Jabra is off and that works fine too. Enjoy your new toy! ;)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] fatouraee:
yup. he i saw your post recently and i bought a jawbone headset. the thing is amazing. how do you like the phone. i know u r in us and have tmobile service , how is it working for you so far.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] LTxda:
It's working perfectly. I bought three units. So me and two buddies, all using TMobile in the US are very happy with the phone. I just don't trust the MicroDrive yet but don't really worry about it because I use a 4GB miniSDHC card to install my apps to. I'm in love with this phone and so are my two buddies. The built in GPS, which the TyTN doesn't have is a great great thing. I've purchased pretty much every high end phone HTC has made and this one is by far the best. The Universal comes in second place in my opinion. Reception on the Athena is better than the Universal and TyTN in my area. I gave my Universal to my fiancee so she uses it all the time. A great device and better than the TyTN.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] fatouraee:
Thank,I have owned lots of pda phone - last time i had a regular phone was 5years ago. i started with hitachi g1000 from sprint back in the day.i own a business so it makes my life alot easier. Hey what software do you use for gps. i heard it doesnt come with maps . what do you use?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] LTxda:
I also own a business and this phone helps me stay organized. Also, being in a technology business, my customers almost expect me to have the latest and greatest. I don't disappoint. ;-)

I'm using TomTom. You do get one free map but what I did was just went out and purchased the full product for $150 from www.tomtom.com. It comes with the entire US and Cananda. I also like the Plus service. I have my state map, the regional map for this area and also the entire US map loaded. I keep the state map active. The entire US map doesn't contain all of the POI by default. I downloaded the POI that were not included in the default install so I'm up to speed. I use the local maps because they help with performance according to TomTom support. Just less data to deal with I guess.

My next purchase is going to be a low profile stereo bluetooth headset so I can listen to audio while lying down, etc. Going to be asking for opinions on this shortly.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] fatouraee:
How is the speed in navigation mode. is it similar tp the one in the car or slower.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] LTxda:
Not sure. I've only had GPS for my PPC Phones. Never had the GPS devices. I know that in the past, the PocketPC GPS software was easier to customize, etc. Not sure with the newer GPS products.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] cornelius:
Hm... I install many app to microdrive and some file on it, but backup regulary. No prob at all!!! Even on test using SKtools, the speed of microdrive far better than SD card almost 3-4x faster!!!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] wu5262:
Yes, but it also drain a bit more memory....maybe when I update to WM6, i will give Micro Drive another try
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] fatouraee:
is the problem with the micro drive solved. i know some poeple had problems specially with ameo. also how is the quality of video on this device.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] wu5262:
the Micro Drive issue is due to the ROM, so it's a software issue, now all the device seems to be running ok, but personally, i still don't trust the Micro Drive that much, the quality of video plays really well on the DOPOD U1000, you do need to make sure you set up your core player or TCPMP correctly, after that it plays the video smoothly.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] LTxda:
Yes performance is quicker and so is the battery drain. I've just had a couple of files come up corrupt on the Microdrive so I know there is still some problem there that wasn't solved. Hopefully in the next ROM though. For now I'm keeping only movies and MP3's and audio books, etc on the Microdrive but nothing that isn't backed up.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] cornelius:
Nothing corrupt on my file,hope never...
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] fatouraee:

[G 2014 General] QuillzToxic:
We got smart lock ages ago, but no trusted voice on my device yet
[G 2014 General] :
Hi, got trusted voice, I don't really like it, you're supposed to say "ok google" to unlock the phone but every time google now pops up and you have to close it then swipe up to unlock. I dislike the fact that it is not a "better way to unlock your phone" but rather "a better way to use google now from the lockscreen". In the end its cool, but I'm pretty sure it is easy to fool, although I haven't tried. It is a nice gimmicky feature but security-wise, it sounds pathetic.
[G 2014 General] ArtRahul:
I was not having trusted voice and on-body detection features...

But Three days ago when my device got soft-bricked, I flashed factory firmware 5.0.2 and after that i got all these features

Now i dnt knw how i didn't have this before and how i got this now...

But my experience, the on-body detection is a great thing that it does not lock ur phone untill its layed down on a surface but there is a silly thing in that was if you give the device to your friend obviously it couldn't detect that it's not you.

So to rectify this you can use both trusted face and on-body to make ur device safe. ;)
[G 2014 General] MikeyTG:
Yes, I have trusted voice and on-body detection. Trusted voice seems to work, but I have not tried either in real use. I don't know when they showed up, I don't think infrastructure updates show in the play store.
