No data, postpaid sim

So got a Verizon prepaid E in today. I took the sim out of my nexus 6 and put it in, booted up for the first time and i Had a data signal indicated. Connected to wifi and completed setup and now i have no data. I have singal bars with an exclamation point next to them. I've tried rebooting, airplane mode toggle etc. Thoughts?
[E 2015 General] jgeis915:
I had the signal bars with an exclamation point for a very short time after setting up the Moto E with my postpaid SIM, but it went away eventually. My Moto E still hasn't been kicked off the network.
[E 2015 General] danielson2047:
Any estimation on how long this took? This was my first thought was to wait it out for a few hours but still nothing.
[E 2015 General] jgeis915:
It was definitely no more than 5 minutes.

Dammit thats it. No data on my N6 now. WTF verizon?
[E 2015 General] danielson2047:
So hopped on chat with verizon.....90 minutes later she but some exception through and now i have to wait 60 minutes, power on and wait 5 min and my data should be back. Huge hassle. I'm calling them in the morning and i WILL get this E working.

Did it work?
[E 2015 General] eugene373:
I just got the Xt1528 tonight as a spare, took my sim out of the G4/G3 and got a verizon msg... I then opened up the MyVerizion app.. aftr which the phone is working great. not really read this thread completely, but this worked for me.
[E 2015 General] gckingst:
Tried to activate a Moto E on my postpaid account with my active SIM card, and I had no success. Spent about 4 hours on chat and phone with customer service and now my line is something called "hotlined" and all my texts and calls are blocked. One of the techs was able to get incoming calls to work, but nothing else. Gave up after a while and put SIM back in my G4 that I was sending for repairs and then it wouldn't work.

Definitely not as easy as just using the SIM now. I also bit the bullet and paid for the one month service on the MOTO to make it easier, and that still didn't work.

Hello all.

Im having a bit of bother with my xda2i, its given me nothing but trouble for about 5 hours now. The problem i have is the align screen wont progress and therefore the device wont start. I have been into the \Windows\StartUp folder via activesync and removing the welcome.exe shortcut from the folder allows the device to start without requiring the screen alignment, problem then is that the screen alignmnet is very wrong. i cannot find the welcome.exe that the link refers to, i assume that it shoud be in the \Windows folder, any idea's? If the file is missing from the folder, does anybody know where a copy can be found.

Many thanks

Stev
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i Software Upgrading] timekeeper:
That file is in my \Windows folder with Welcome.exe and welcome.lnk, but when I try to copy it to my desktop to zip up for you, I get a file not found error, it may possibly be protected in some way?

I think you are right, a pal of mine has the same device and he tried to copy the files, tried everything to bring it back to life but alas it is dead.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toledodj:
Two questions:

1. Is there a way to get the camera lens to not auto focus constantly?

2. What is a decent alternative to the stock Google camera app? I'm mainly looking for the ability to pause video recording.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK0087:
1. Camera>settings gear>advanced>manual exposure

2. Sorry, I can't help. I use Google's.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toledodj:
Thanks for the help ☺. I saw the manual exposure setting but had no clue what it does.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] springer.music:
Unfortunately no (or not yet in 5.1) at least with the stock Google Camera.

You can try Cinema FV-5

This is incorrect. Manual exposure has noting to do with the camera refocusing all the time.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK0087:
I apologize for the misinformation. I was under the assumption that this was a way to better control the focus and I have been part of other discussions where this was deemed a sort of workaround for the refocusing issue. I agree that it is not a 100% solution, but it does seem to help somewhat. The user clicks on the desired area of focus, via the viewfinder and the camera then focuses on that specific area.

I don't use the camera excessively so I'm not the expert advice provider here. I just wanted the OP to try this and see if it helped in his camera use. I should have been more specific. Thanks again. :)

Usually not having a unlocked bootloader will not allow you to put in custom roms. You'll need to see if your phone version is compatible beforehand because you can possibly brick your device trying.
[Moto X Q&A] metaljr81:
Yeah, I'm pretty sure the cyngn installer doesn't do the whole process for each phone. I think it just helps you download the right rom and then scripts it to install without user interaction on certain recoveries.

hey guys. I've got this phone for a month now but still haven't checked the waterproofness. Did you try it the first day you got it? should I be super careful with this? I'm scared. I even though it's advertised as waterproof..
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nica_ro:
Yeap, I've tried it underwater. The screen responsiveness changes, else everything works, including the camera.

not worth the risk, there are enough reports about water damage
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tonio78r:
I'm tried to test the limits of the phone (i know it could be ridiculous). So I've swum for more than an hour and the phone was under more or less 1,5 m (limit recommended by Sony). It has survived for a moment...Once out i dried it. It has worked for some hours until the battery comes empty. No way to charge it anyway, a component of my battery was dead...I've send it to repair center claiming I had only let it fall in water and they replaced it by a new one :D

moral of the history don't try to put it in the water just for fun :p
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c6nsor9d:
I have used mine on water several times for several hours, and it's still working fine.

In fact I have tried it the very first day, this way if it's waterproofing was flawed, I would have returned it under warranty.

Now that my phone is more than a year old, i am obviously less keen to put it under water.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] New Folder:
I've made lots videos underwater. Dunk phone in beer, whiskey. Dropped it in river. It even got some salty water after i remembered it beeing forbidden.

The phone is waterproof. If not warranty replaces for free. If you got by third party then they often try to make some bs excuse not to deal with it.

The golden rule: if you use miniusb to charge you wear out the rubber flap and it will not be waterproof, if you use dock you won't have this problem.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dazzerfong:
Not at all: Sony even explicitly states that water damage is not their problem. If you trick them, or if you're nice, they might help you out, but they're under no obligation to.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] New Folder:
Where i bought it from they said water damage is under warranty.

Why would they advertise the phone in water or spilling water on it if the warranty won't cover it? The salesperson dunk the phone in water to show it was fully waterproof and without leaks before selling it to me.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dazzerfong:
That's a salesman tactic, but there's no guarantee. If you don't believe me, feel free to and go ahead and go nuts with your phone.

BTW, who told you it's under warranty? The sales staff? I personally asked a technical support person this question (in lieu of some other problems I had) this, and they said no, it's not covered under warranty.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oreltub:
You should be very careful if you try it underwater.. On my first time, the micro usb cover opened up and the phone was damaged, with no warranty by anyone ?

I had to open it up and dry it with hair dryer for an hour.. (and since then it's still non-waterproof)

Conclusion - be careful ?

My phone got damaged by water in the third time that I put it under water. Seems like due overheating (I was playing, charging and wearing a bumper case at the same time) the back and the back frame unglued in the Sim tray area. I remembered how the screen started to flick and how the water comes out from Sim tray ?. I used a hair dryer and at this moment the phone is working fine?. I replaced the back frame (also, it solves the gaps in the middle where are the magnetic charging and the Lock/Volume buttons). By now, I am waiting the rear cover, it should arrive in 15days. But after that bad experience I won't put the phone in water anymore.

[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asmad:
Salt water leaves salty residue on the phone and is also more corrosive than fresh water. So, Sony won't cover damage in salt water.

Submerged my z1c in a glass of water upon getting it just to check if it's waterproof. A week later, i used it at the beach and it got submerged pretty often in saltwater that day but no water damage. Occasionally i wash my phone with soap under running water maybe every 2-4 weeks(I'm a germaphobe...) My friends also like to take my phone and submerge it in water randomly for fun. I guess it's also because of me that a number of them ended up buying the z2 and later z3 :laugh:

mag cable instead of dock

About the dock.... It might be cheaper to just buy the mag cable if you want to use your phone while it's charging and save some money. Amazon has a few brands selling these types of cables or adapters when i last bought mine. Or you can check with the stores where you live.

[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nas93:
indeed, but whether they work is a whole different answer... I've had cables that charge at 100% of the charger's ma/h current(The sony stock cable) and some that always had 60% or less of the charger's supposed current no matter what type of charger i used (Apple ipad, generic 2A charger, Sony 1.5A default charger) meaning with the stock cable and charger for example, i would get a stable 0.8-1A(because the phone also uses some power for itself) charge flow but with some 3rd party generic cables(which claimed to be able to be used for 2A charging), it can be as unreliable as 0.4-0.6A which leads to a slower charge overall. Not coming across as rude(if i sound offensive) :\ Just stuff i discovered after buying those cheaper cables, some work well and some just don't :X

p.s. I measured the mA flow with battery monitor and currentwidget
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oreltub:
Not rude at all.. Actually, it explains a lot..

Btw, do you know if the magnetic charger supposed to charge slower? Or it's just my $5 docking station?

[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nas93:
We might be deviating off the topic of the thread as is :p but to answer your question, i don't have a docking station but i do have 3 different mag chargers(bought em to try em all out) and they all charge at different rates(including one that charges faster than the sony usb cable strangely). Also, occasionally, there might be a bad mag charging connection where you'l notice that your phone is barely charging or not at all even. i use my battery monitor widget to check the mah flow(when it's a bad connection its usually 0.1-0.4A but when its connected properly, itl go up to 0.8-1A depending on cables) and putting the phone off and back on the dock should fix it! you can also use the app to compare your mah flow on usb vs the dock :)

It is stated in warranty paper that waterdamage is covered by warranty if it has happened within limits stated by IP-standard given to device. If they are advertising waterproof casing without it having IP-certificate, it is up to them to cover it or not but if certificate is given to device then it becomes a feature thas has to stay within limit of functionality.

I put my Z1C right into bath when I bought it. Was all good and stuff. Later it did build up a problem with signal and touchscreen responsiveness so I took it to dealer and got internal parts along with screen changed. Put it into bath after getting it back - it died immidiately. Most likely due to faulty placement of screen. Took it to warranty, told them my story along with warranty documents and parts from consumer protection law (that was because I had read many cases before mine that dealers have tricked people by stating that waterdamage is consumers fault and not covered, also cancels device warranty) and without further complaints they gave me new phone because it was not cost-effective to repair my damaged phone.

To sum up the long story - if device has IP certificate then production company must stand by it with covering any damage happen to device within stated limits of certificate.

Edit# I put my second phone under water quite often - I use it when I relax in bath or just wash it if it ever gets dirty - haven't had a single problem so far, even after multiple drops.

Also, I want to add a little to what is posted above, about warranty. When dealer sends your phone in for inspection and you know it has got water inside - possibly from bad installation of screen/back-cover - don't let inspection tell you that water-damage won't be covered due to under-flap water-indicators being red (which according to them can only happen when flaps are opened) because if you look at the construction of your phone, there are no seals inside that would stop water reach those indicators from any side or hole in phone casing. Those indicators are basically placed to rip off people by inspection. I have seen and heard about numerous cases where people have decided to pay for repairs and then been left without further warranty.

I will thank you for your ignorance after I have finished my post but explain your expression - what makes you think I have developed idiocy when I am using my product up to its specified standards? It is certified with dust- and waterproof standards, I have not exceeded them and if device fails to hold up to it, how does that make me an idiot if I expect manufacturer to repair or replace it to condition where it does hold up to those standards?

I was quite positive about this forum, even so that I forgot how pathetic people were on the internet. [emoji4]

I went through your posts and case is as I figured. You are quite clueless about this case. And you have a habit to call out names if people disagree with you. I am referring to another one of your posts about water and phone under discussion - I should not give any fecks if my phone dies in water when I have secured it properly for under-water use. Even more, Sony gives you proper instructions and encourages you to take it for a swim within limits. Even more so, IP standard is actually the only reason I bought this phone - without knowing much more about it - so why would I not use it for what I bought it for?

That is smart thing to do after taking it to salty water.

I must say that my first post here was maybe bit confusing - the part where my phone developed a problem with signal strength and screen responsivness. IT may have sounded like being under water was somehow related to it which it was not. Phone was perfectly water-tight and handled it well. Weak signal is quite a common problem with those phones as I have read from internet, also problems with screen. Water-damage happened after screen change though, which was obviously warranty technicans fault.
