[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MGuDiM:
The reason it works on the lock screen is that the hitbox for the notification bar is larger on the lockscreen. I had the same issue, luckily my phone still had one week of warranty left and SONY replaced the whole phone for me within a week for free. I sent it to official SONY repair centre here in Dublin, Ireland.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fluffi444:
Hey Guys. It happens also for me. From 1 hour to another! And actually the fist hardware probem I ever had with Smartphone. Congratz Sony!

Its clearly visible that an complete vertical area from top to bottom is not or only very sporadic accepting the finger movement.

So Service Center is the only possibility? What do you think? tried already complete stock and factory reset.

Actually its logic to send it to Service but if you have comments or maybe the same error please let me (us) know.

Thanks for any comments in advance.

Same thing is happening to mine, almost two years to the day after I bought it. I'm gonna try taking off the screen protector to see if that makes any difference, otherwise it's phone upgrade time (which is not a bad thing). Started a week ago intermittently and now is pretty much permanent. PITA.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fluffi444:
Mine is now a week at the service center. I bought it quite late so one year guarantee left for me. Will report what they did... But it is a bit scary how many z3c went defective because of touch screen problems...

I solved the navigation bar problem using Xposed + "Xperia/AOSP NavBar Buttons" module. Just increase navbar height to 150% and it's done. For the notification, bar install Nova Launcher and use the home button action (free) or the swipe down gesture (paid).
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fluffi444:
Just to give you an final report: They changed my phone and I received an new one...

And the replacement was send right after I asked for ETA. All in all it took three weeks.

So maybe (if you phone is at repair in guarantee) asking and asking would speed up things and the possibility to get a new one is rising...

Now I have a white one (instead of black) but its OK...Feels a bit more like a new phone because of new color :D Thanks goodness not green or red...

The letter said that chaning to higher one or to another color is part of sonys replacement policies.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lba810701:
Hi again! The story continues. My guarantee expired after one year, but my warranty was good. ( it's 2 year ) I sent my phone to the service center. After two weeks, the service center changed my phone to a brand new xperia x compact.... I hope this will not be wrong with the display. In any case, I was pleasantly surprised to Sony right now.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pmsoft:
What seems weird to me is that several people report the same problem at the same time. E.g. it start with random "clicks" on the taskbar and then the touchscreen area of the taskbar stops working. This is happening around the time of 2 years of using the phone. Really weird.

I like the phone but this is just disappointing. After the nougat update fail for the z3 / compact (first claiming that it cannot get nougat because of missing vulkan support which turns out to not being required by the compatibility definition document for nougat) and now the touchscreen fail, I'm pretty sure not going back to Sony for a phone. So sorry.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] espi12:
I have this problem too. The notification bar stopped working in august. And since yesterday the bottom of the screen doesn't work too, so I can't use the on-screen virtual buttons :crying:

I'm afraid this is getting worse and worse.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5upers8:
I've faced this problem too. I buy Nova Launcher to use it's custom swipe down gesture as notification bar issue's workaround.

And i enable Glove mode on Display settings as on-screen virtual buttons issue's workaround. Of course it does not comfy.

As a newbie, i believe this issue caused by the software/MM. Maybe i'll try to revert back to LL or KK or another rom, since z3c would not get nougat update :(
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ikzy:
I can add this to the list of defects I had as well.. Send mine back under warranty about a week ago, hope i'll see it back soon.. Nova Launcher is a good option but the xposes AOSP navbar seems like a better solution, if you have exposed.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mac_d4di:
I too have this issue with top portion of screen. Any day fixes other than buying new screen (1 month out of warranty)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l_abaurre:
I've updated to the Z5C and shelved this phone. I picked it up today to check which firmware it has and alas, the touchscreen simply crapped out out of the blue. This is unacceptable. The phone jack also went bad before I switched. I'm really pissed and I don't know what to do. I bought this phone two years ago. Look at the touch draw test to see where it died. How can a touchscreen go bad out of nowhere????
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peppezic:
Hi everyone,

I'm facing exactly same problems described in this thread.

I bought my green Z3c in Italy less than 2 years ago and I still have the invoice, but I'm wondering if the warranty is still valid.

I'm wondering because I broke my glass during a trip in Australia and I replace it there, in a store, with original Z3c LCD touchscreen and frame but black colored. (I no longer have the store LCD receipt though)

What do you think? Can I consider my device to be under warranty?

Regards.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Howlbeck:
Well, happened to me today too - so far only the upper part of the screen so that you can't swipe down for the notifications.

I'm using Swiftly Switch now to access the notification drawer (also works when other apps are opened).
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Barua:
This happened to me after warranty is over. I think it's one of chronic problems of z3 compact. Thanks to Sony.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marlontravagli:
After 2 years and 3 months of use, touchscreen began to give problem. I realy like this smartphone, But is it worth replacing the screen??

If so, someone knows about this store: http://www.witrigs.com/oem-lcd-with-digitizer-for-sony-xperia-z3-compact-white

Or is it worth getting a Z5 compact yet?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karll1:
I bought my replacement from here. It's supposedly all OEM parts. It looks identical to the original screen, but the touchscreen sensitivity seems to be weaker. I needed to remove my screen protector to have it work properly.

Good luck!
[Verizon LG G3] Ace_Razgriz:
I'm on a VS985 running Android 6.0, and a few issues have recently arisen, that are really bugging me now.

I had temp rooted the phone before to change some tweaks and stuff such as making all apps in dual window. I unrooted the phone when I tried to update and the phone would go into a bootloop only solvable by pulling out the battery. (Probably this temp root is my first screw up)

Recently I noticed my lock screen completely disappeared, meaning that even if I have my PIN lock screen on, whenever i wake the phone it goes straight to the homescreen, and from what I read this is an issue solvable by factory resetting... Which I can't do! It throws my phone into a flashing red and blue led with "BOOT VERIFICATION FAIL" before the screen goes black.

I'm at my wit's end, I've tried programs to restore the phone to stock firmware... But this hasn't worked (I've used LG Flash tool and a few other programs) , I'd really appreciate some help on this matter.

Tl;dr: temp rooted my phone, removed everything I did with root, phone refuses to update and my lock screen has disappeared.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
You tried flashing the 10B TOT?
[Verizon LG G3] Ace_Razgriz:
I did, using LG Flash tool, it never went past 6% on the process so it never flashed the stock firmware to the device.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Maybe [MENTION=2250889]R-T-B[/MENTION] can fix it for you. Your phone doesn't have a "K" after the model number underneath the battery, right? Such as VS985WK but there's other examples. If so, you can't downgrade. This probably isn't the case but just checking.
[Verizon LG G3] Ace_Razgriz:
No K in the model number, just a VS985

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] mgxr chr:
Yesterday I flashed RR in my moto g3 and thereafter the option of enhancing VoLTE isn't available there in network setting. I tried *#*#4636#*#* to edit VoLTE provisioned Flag but it always be Turn Off VoLTE Provisioned Flag. Should I go out there for any other Custom ROM or any trick to solve my matter? Please Reply. Thanks in advance.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] tirumalchalla:
Initially I am also faced the same Volte issue, but after doing below process I got the option.

Go to Dialer and type *#*#4636#*#*

Go to Phone information. Scroll down to OEM specific info/settings.

Turn on volte debug.

When you now go to Settings / Sim cards / cellular network settings you'll be able to see the Enhanced 4g lte mode.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Navi44:
The devs just have to turn volte flag on. Don't know why they don't do it.

It's just one line to add.

I think most devs just compile from source. And don't want to tinker with the code anymore.

That's what I think, maybe there is some other reason.

Would see if I can make volte enabling zip for all roms.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] oriveradel:
Guys I turned on by Editting build prop, just add the following if your ROM does not already have it, if it does use text editor to change values, I use Root explorer

Make changes at own risk, after editing make sure you save changes it will make an automated backup of build prop

#ifdef VENDOR_EDIT

persist.dbg.ims_volte_enable=1

persist.dbg.volte_avail_ovr=1

persist.dbg.vt_avail_ovr=1

persist.data.iwlan.enable=true

persist.dbg.wfc_avail_ovr=1

Volte appears but I still can't call by LTE
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] NickosD:
Then it might not be supported by your carrier
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] oriveradel:
VoLTE is controlled by carriers, I assume by imei, and choose and decide which phones get the feature, mostly the overpriced model sold by them.

Hi. I recently updated my phone to Marshmallow. Previously, I had face unlock setup. But, for some reason, I couldn't find face unlock in the settings after updating. It seems that Huawei have decided to remove face unlock in their ROM.

I dropped an MP3 in the windows folder, but it doesnt work. Thanks. I will try dropping a WAV file there.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Martinjv71:
It has to be a .wav file. The smaller the size, the better.:D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] fisha21:
I have a 59sec file that I converted from mp3 to WAV. I dropped it in the Windows folder and sure enough, it shows up on the list of allowed sounds in the alarm program. However, when I select it from the drop down list, the selection reverts to "default". Furthermore, when I try using Spb Time, I can select the tune, but it doesn't play, just silence.

Any ideas?

BTW, if I play the WAV file via File Explorer, it plays fine.

although my nexus 6 is really good to me :D:D

the idea of upgrading to newer device hunt me :p

so here is the question and I want to hear your opinion

what is the best device outside (nexus - pixel) that got support at xda in form of roms - kernel - root - etc or nexus / pixel is our only hope :confused:

what will you upgrade to and when :confused:

is dev support is a factor to you or not in choosing device :confused:

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] yearn2burn:
In daily use, I'm sure I wouldn't notice the higher resolution of the XL. But with Daydream VR being given away with pre-order, the XL higher resolution will likely make a big difference!
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Tinyboss:
More precisely, it's the PPI that makes a difference (unless the larger screen gives a wider FOV, which I haven't heard about, one way or the other). The XL has about 21% higher PPI (534 vs. 441).

I'd like to know what supbixel arrangement they're using. I guess one of the first things I do when I get mine will be to throw it under the scope and see for myself!
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] st3ph3nbr!tt:
Cool! Let us know the results!
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] PMPB:
I heard that equally important for VR, as PPI, is a high frame rate. Do you think that the high resolution of the Pixel XL will compromise the frame rate to such a point, that the 5" Pixel will offer a better Daydream VR experience?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Tinyboss:
Isn't a solid 60fps part of the Daydream requirements?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] AstroDigital:
I hope Google one day lets me order the Day Dream VR for now the best I can do is waiting list.

Not everybody is American and for the rest of the world we need to pay for it.

Past experience with Cardboard tells me this is just a fad, gimmick, and a toy.

The problem is like the Cardboard you actually need to carry the viewer and I will always have my phone my 95% of the time the viewer will be home.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] PMPB:
I mean, that's a good point; but from my understanding 90fps is more like what's comfortable in VR. So I'm wondering if the device that can push the highest FPS is going to have an advantage over the device that can provide the highest PPI. What do you think?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jjayzx:
Would think phones are locked at 60hz refresh rate so higher than 60 fps won't be visible. Also assume that any creators of vr content make it for a minimum spec to get 60fps. Most of the stuff I've seen so far wasn't very dynamic and low resolution textures.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g355150:
Having major problems with my Note 4. It is often really sluggish. Has horrible lag. Sometimes it just randomly resets. And, when it resets, sometimes it goes straight to download mode and says could not do normal boot at the top. For example, right now it has been on the Samsung galaxy note 4 boot screen for a few minutes. I had to pull the battery for it to boot. Sometimes, when I press and hold the power button, it doesn't respond.

I have tried a number of fixes.

-Factory reset.

-Full wipe

-Format data, then full wipe

-Odin back to stock firmware (KK, LP and MM)

-Restore backup from TWRP

I searched and saw another thread with similar symptoms, but it was pretty old with only one response. I am really at a loss as to what to do. I can only assume it is hardware related. I haven't really dropped it. No water damage. Always in a case.

Any help would be appreciated

I had the exact same issues you are describing. It ended up being the only reason i upgraded to note 7. Now of course note 7 is being recalled & i wish i could go back to a fully functional note 4.

Hope somebody has a solution for this!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
The OP describes a bad flash or OTA update, corrupt partition or failing eMMC. I'd advise replacing battery as a first step of troubleshooting. Make sure it's charged fully at least once and have 75% or more capacity before starting.

I've never had to do anything risky with "PIT with repartition" or "nand erase all" but there are other advanced forums for that but I don't venture into recommending risky measures I haven't performed with experienced guidance. You could find these by googling or visiting Sammobile specific forums- I don't think it's acceptable to post external links.

But before I considered risking those methods there's some steps I'd eliminate first (warning: they may seem redundant but if having issues, I'd be thorough even if it appears redundant):

1. Backup and boot system, enable developer mode and enable USB debugging.

2. Disable reactivation lock in Settings/Security.

3. Open SuperSU app and fully un-root.

4. Wipe everything but extSdCard, factory reset and format data and power down and pull battery. Get serial number from underneath battery for Smart Switch.

5. Install Smart Switch on PC.

6. IMO, you should Odin stock tar before using Smart Switch if previously rooted.

7. Use Smart Switch to either install latest update or emergency restore phone. I didn't know Smart Switch worked in Note 4 so refer to Sammobile.

8. Once done, Check stock for stability for days before opting to do anything unless you've duplicated same results. If you have a true hardware issue, it may be evident while trying these steps.

9. Determine if you need to do anything further. I can't help with the riskier stuff; I've been fortunate enough not to experience anything warranting a risky procedure.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JudasD:

last night i re-odined with a pit file. I had selected re-partition, nand erase and hone EFS clear. I did get a successful odin and the phone had to reactivate with sprint. IN the end i still have the very laggy performance, phone sometimes not responding and spontaneous reboots. :(

All of this started in an instant. Everything was running fine on a TW rom that i had been running for about a week. I went to use the camera, the app froze and the speaker made a slight static kind of sound and then all of this started. No matter what kind of rom i put on here they now all act the same. very strange.
