I don't think it is covered under warranty as Sony specifically states on its site and disclaimers that the phone is NOT waterproof.

Water damage is therefore not covered. U can try though, but I'm afraid ur out of luck.

U can try to submerge the phone in a cup of rice for 24/48 hours.

An hairdryer would only condense the water inside the phone.

Make sure to remove sim and SD card tray first and leave the flap opened before putting it into rice.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mario.D:
Strange bequse on the swedish sony site they say ip68 class.

That it will survive a dip in the bathtub or being able to wash the phone in rinsing water.

You're right!

Doesn’t mind a little rain

With a waterproof and dust tight design, you don’t need a rain date

Rain happens. So do drops in the sink and knocked over drinks. Xperia Z5 has Sony’s leading waterproof* design and an IP68 rating. Because a little water should never ruin the day.

* The Xperia Z5 is waterproof and protected against dust, so don’t worry if you get caught in the rain or want to wash off dirt under a tap, but remember: all ports and attached covers should be firmly closed. You should not put the device completely underwater or expose it to seawater, salt water, chlorinated water or liquids such as drinks. Abuse and improper use of device will invalidate warranty. The device has Ingress Protection rating IP65/68. For more info see*www-preview.sonymobile.com/waterproof. Note the Xperia™ has a capless USB port to connect and charge. The USB port needs to be completely dry before charging.

[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Falenone:
Drops in the sink. I even didn't submerge it.

Apparently it did. Who should I sue?

But yeah, I'm going to go to the store tomorrow and ask for warranty repair.

Gonna let you know how it went
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] langeveld024:
Yeah let us know.

Did u unlock bootloader?
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Falenone:
No I haven't unlocked it yet. Still seems too tedious.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ben36:
Yup. IP68 means submersible for something like 30 mins in clean water for 1 metre depth (or more depending on manufacturers status) if I remember right

So they can't say it's ip68 and then void any warranty if it gets wet because that's false advertising surely
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] millicent:
I would still wait a few days, I expect the buttons to sort themselves out, maybe try the rice method.

On the other hand that won't 'fix' your confidence in the waterproof capabilities of your device..

Anyways, let us know on how you got to solve this issue, good luck.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Falenone:
Took it to the store and they happily took it, saying it should be waterproof and the dead power button shouldn't happen with little water. It takes up to 2 weeks in warranty service so I'll update when I got some news.

Got a Galaxy S4 mini with busted screen and busted proximity sensor as a temporary phone.. At least I'm able to root the crap out of it
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Falenone:
Update

Got my device back, working, motherboard and a ribbon cable replaced. Asked the girl in the shop if I should now assume that the device is now not waterproof. She said absolutely no, I can test it under tap water and if anything then bring it back and then it's on the repair company because they have to make sure the device remains waterproof. Came home, gave it a 20 or so second wash like the first time. Went away for few hours, came back and same problem again, power button doesn't work, screen flashes on and off and vol up brings up the power menu. Tomorrow I'm going to bring it back.
[Verizon LG G4] thatITguy:
So I went to attach a picture to an email (Outlook for Android) and my phone rebooted. It goes to the LG splash screen and just stays there for a long time. After a while, it flashes off and right back to the splash screen. I've tried pulling the batter and removing the SD card (just in case). Nothing is working.

I stopped by the Verizon store and they said I need to ship it back for replacement. Really don't want to be without my phone that long. Anyone know how to get it back up and going? I can put it in download mode if that helps.
[Verizon LG G4] thatITguy:
Just checked a few sites and found a thread here. Seems to be a "not if but when" boot loop issue with the early G4's. My serial starts with 505 and that falls in the range of devices others are having an issue with. Great. This will be the third repair in less than a year.
[Verizon LG G4] harpdoc:
You're gonna need to send it back to LG. They're very nice about it and will pay for the shipping. You'll be without your G4 for a couple weeks, but it will they will replace the circuit board. I just hope you have better luck than I initially did (see my thread about LG's incompetent repair in the General section). Good luck.
[Verizon LG G4] blackwrx02:
dumb question, where are you locating the serial number. I have checked the box and back of the phone. Nothing with S/N or anything that looks similar.

[Verizon LG G4] thatITguy:
Just got the email that it has been shipped back. I'm guessing "Repair Results: Swap Board (Main/RF) : Others" means they swapped the circuit board. Fingers crossed it is actually working when it arrives.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bodhsativa:
Edit: The flashable zip seemed to be a good workaround and got everything done in one go. Fingers crossed from here on in.

Hi guys, this is my first post here, so please go easy on me. :)

So recently my phone screen cracked and I had to send it off for recovery.

The company wiped and upgraded my firmware, but I did my data backup as a nandroid backup, so I have to get a recovery installed to restore it.

I have managed to unlock the bootloader and flash this version of the firmware : - D5803_23.4.A.1.264

I am simply trying to root the phone so I can get SuperSU onto it and the method I used last time uses CWM. However, when I try to install CWM I can access CWM, but otherwise, it goes into a boot loop and I have to reflash that firmware to restore it, which deletes the CWM. The CWM version I can flash does not seem to be able to restore nandroid, so it's fairly useless.

i have tried downgrading but then the phone crashes on startup. I noticed when I restored to the current firmware above, the phone had kept all my settings, so I don't know if there's extra I need to wipe, or if I'm not flashing correctly.

Now I have used PRF tool to create a flashable zip, that I thought might be able to do the job for me if I can get something to install it. It has the working firmware, SuperSU and dualrecovery in it.

I have done this all before without issues, but the new firmware version is making things more difficult.

So questions are;

1. Am I flashing incorrectly when downgrading? Or is there some other factor at play preventing me from doing so?

2. Is there a way I keep the CWM and flash the working firmware? Like it would go into boot-loop but then I could get the normal systems operating again and have the phone rooted, continuing the work. I figured there might be an option in flashtool, but I didn't want to press anything without confirmation from someone.

3. Is there an easier way to froot this? Last time I was able to use giefroot, but now it says my kernel isn't supported.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm not new to modding my phones, but I'm not advanced either. Let me know if there are other details I can give that might help.

Thanks.

I am using Android Studio 2.0 to develop an app for my school and I want to use Chrome Custom Tabs to make opening links faster. So far I've downloaded the support library, edited my build.gradle file to compile it, and I can import the support library successfully, but when I start adding code it still gives me "cannot resolve symbol" errors. The guide on Google's dev page is a bit lacking and left me with these questions:

1. Is the code in Google's guide supposed to go in my main class or do I need to make a separate class for it?

2. Does anyone have an example app I can pick apart to see how it's done? The one on Google's page hasn't been very helpful...

[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K.khiladi:
I am expecting that you are rooted and have twrp installed. Make a backup through twrp. If you flash any other kernel, then just flashing the backup kernel won't make you phone all working as wifi would break down.

So, take a twrp backup and if something's wrong, then restore the whole backup or just system.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HerySean:
Yes, I'm already rooted and installed twrp, so restore my backup will eventually restore my original kernel?
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bablu048:
in twrp while backing up you'll see a "boot" partition, that is your kernel.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DSkitter:
Hi,

Here's what I've done: I used ADB to root the phone. After that I booted it up and installed the (D855) LG G3 AutoRec-Lollipop package from PlayStore in order to install the newest version of TWRP. I downloaded the latest stable version of CM for my phone (CM 12.1). I wiped the system, cache, data and dalvik cache. I installed the cm zip file by using TWRP. Unfortunately now I can't boot it up - after rebooting the phone, it displays the LG logo for a while and then all I can see is a black screen. The power off button doesn't work. I have to take out the battery in order to boot it up again. I decided to try the latest NIGHTLY version of CM (13). It also didn't work - my LG behaves in the same way. I read here that flashing the RADIO/MODEM might help. I can't check the baseband version, so I don't know which file to download. I tried the following ones (with CM 12.1):

21C (13.2-00002)

21A (13.2-00002)

20W (13-00048)

20U (13-00048)

20C (13-00038)

None of them worked. Of course every time I flashed the modem, I wiped the phone and installed the CM 12.1 again. What should I do in this situation? I'm out of ideas. The phone just shows the LG logo for few seconds and then goes black.

Update:

I tried the following ROMs:

- CyanideL ROM for LG G3 International D855

- BlissPop Lollipop ROM for D855

Cyanide acts just like Cyanogen - black screen after the LG logo. BlissPop however displays a red screen with the following error message:

Hello everyone.

I have a problem with LG keyboard which I do like and would like to keep as my default keyboard.

Anyway, the issue I have is about comma and auto correction. In my previous phone (G2) when I entered word with a mistake it was corrected and comma acted as period - suggested correction was used in text.

Now in my G4 however, when I use comma the misspelled word is being used instead of autocorrected one.

Does it supposed to work like that or is it some kind of bug?

Hello everyone, I've been studying IFWI files and I attempted to fix bootloader freezes by modifying some blocks of the IFWI file. I can't test because I don't own the phone anymore so if someone can try this and tell which file worked and fixes the freezes, it would help the entire community.

So Hi everyone i have installed before 2 hours on my sony xperia l c2015 CM11 from free experia release (its the latest on their site). So the phone is working ok ,no lag in apps etc... , but the lock screen is lagging and very unresponnsible...

When i lock the phone and then press the unlock button it freezes for like 10 seconds, and then shows the home screen like i unlocked it but i have set an unlock password. Even with selected option for "Unlockscreen:None" it freezes. Is that common bug , can it be fixed with Patch,ADB,New kernel etc... Or only i have it. Also another question in YouTube the max resolution is 360 p. ,when the device max is 480p, is that a bug too (i dont mind it but i wonder). So i know i have not to expect the best from this ROMs but this lock screen bug is really annoying. I have tried out the 12.1 but i didnt liked it ,its even more buggy for me.
[Sony Xperia L] newguyknowsnothing:
Well I think the lockscreen bug and youtube showing 360p are common, I had those too. The lockscreen on any 4.4 rom for XL take too much time to wake up, this is an old bug in kitkat kernel according to [MENTION=6248658]SdtBarbarossa[/MENTION] but flashing other kernels does not help. The only 4.4 rom that has this bug but happen the least is omni rom from [MENTION=4329876]Olivier[/MENTION] (1 or 2 times on my phone). Also on 4.4 battery drain so bad that I moved to cm12.1.
