[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Illux:
Hey there,

see, I'm not really the impatient kind of guy, I have lived through all the LG G4 issues, I had my deviced repaired three times. People make mistakes, so do major companies.

But one thing I really don't fancy is the feeling of being mocked. Right now, I'm really considering returning my XZP and kissing Sony good bye for good.

Here's why:

My smartphone has some random weird bugs:

- the front facing speaks just switch off randomly until restart

- the screen sometimes flickers until I turn adaptive illumination off and on again

- did anyone here check only reviews? Most hail the camera for its impressive quality. What quality!? My old G4 beats the XZP under all conditions, the G2 is at least very very close - and it's now four years old.

- and the distortion issue.

I mentioned a few things on the Sony forum and for some weird reason all of these threads just disappear into thin air. When contacting the Sony support, they'd advise me to do a software reset (MoFo please!).

Is this a bad joke? Is that how Sony wants to get back in the game of top-notch smartphones? I'm beginning to understand all the promos for those who preordered - they knew what they had coming.

Really, it's kind of hard to get me pi**ed but I'm kinda pi**ed.

Can't you replace it if you think your unit is defective alternative return it?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Illux:
Yea, sure. But that is not what I meant. It's not about returning and having it repaired (what btw will not happen if they don't even acknowledge the issue), it's about how they deal with that. I mean, especially talking of the distortion issue - that is not just me. That is most likely with all devices or at least a very very big share. How come they just ignore that? LG or even Apple, they are at least straight when they make mistakes.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] FartyParty:
And here I just picked up two Premiums haha. Sorry that you're unhappy.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] jaseman:
I don't think Sony is ignoring anything. But it is not even fully released yet around the world. I am sure they are aware of the issues and "hopefully" will come up with a patch to remedy all the big issues. As for your particular phone you may have received a lemon and simply need to replace it. I can appreciate the major hassle of doing such a thing but it is an unfortunate reality in today's world. I say all this as an owner of the black version of the xz premium and I love it. I am not having the major issues that some are having. Got it from the UK.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Combonary:
Most definitely a defective unit. Speakers turning off until restart? Not gonna have any of that lol. RETURN FOR ANOTHER UNIT IF POSSIBLE!

My own case is different, I feel like I've got the best device for me at the moment.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] afuller42:
pre-ordered mine today and will be in hand Sunday morning, hopefully this batch of us units are better and don't face any of these issues. I'll exchange till I'm happy or get refunded. I seem to get lucky with my Sony products so crossing fingers.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Sensination:
I'm just going to leave this here...

This is a link to a post I made on Sony's forum a while ago. Personally I think you have a faulty unit but you never know, maybe the history likes to repeat itself?

Are you at it again.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] martin042068:
You must have a faulty unit. Return it mines been great!
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Shnig:
Genuinely not suffering any of those issues!
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] MuffinBomber:
Well you definitely are suffering from the distortion issue, all XZP phones have it. Open up a grid pattern on your PC screen or take a picture of a brick wall. You will definitely notice a pincushion deformation at the edges of the picture.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Benio9436:
Me too :(
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Illux:
As mentioned, all XZP have it. All. No exceptions - Sony confirmed this already ;).
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Monkii:
For god's sake, who would take picture of perfectly square grid on a daily basis?

This is just like those idiots who bought a thousand dollars wide angle DSLR lens and complain about distortion by shooting only brick walls all day.

Wide angle has distortion! It is tough to get rid of it physically in the glass already for full size camera, let alone getting rid of it in a lens the size of a pea!

If the lens on the phone can be that perfect, you will be paying well over $1000 for the phone itself!

If camera is all you care, go get Huawei's P9/P10!

To OP, seriously, replace your phone, many users aren't having same issues as you do meaning yours is faulty!

It is much more realistic to physically go replace it than to whine about it online! Finding sympathy in virtual world will get you no where, this goes the same for all other brands!

Let Sony gets your faulty unit to examine, and to prevent same thing from happening in future phones is much more realistic than raising waves online with all sorts of words.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Bonelol:
People don't do doesn't mean issue is gone. Xperia Z3 compact has wide angle lens too, it doesn't have such significant distortion. Galaxy S7 also has large FOV lens, but their developer gave an auto-correction option. We payed almost same price, and Sony said its camera is perfect in ad.s

what's more, wide angle lens won't take photos like this, it's the damn lens correction software fault
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Monkii:
Sony just manage to balance its cheque book in the mobile field. Honestly, allow them time to cure it, Sony deserve to stay.

All I wanna point out is that, it is not really big issue unless you shoot picture of computer mon, grid or brick wall all day. And many people mixed the distortion with typical wide angle lens perspective distortion, which created more chaos than necessary.

Many people still shooting great picture of people and scenary, so stop worrying so much. Have fun with the phone, when times come the firmware upgrade, we will get even better grid/brick wall pictures.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Bonelol:
Sony saving its mony in a wrong way. They deliver the best cmos, but do less work on software. Photos still look painted, and without OIS (EIS only in Video mode), it is hard to take a perfect photo at night
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] YUYYY:
I am suffering from the distortion issue right now ,bought it because I saw the ad shows a perfect camera on this phone.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Monkii:
Well, true, they need more effort on software side. Again, they are in the right step with the new managment focusing on collaboration between departments, time will tell how much better they will do. Previously they don't collaborate.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] tomo100brt:
I am not having any issues except camera distortion. So return your phone.

I have total commander on my phone and i would like to try some reg tweaks to allow things like ringtones from my memory card, etc. but i dont know exactly how to go about doing it. are there any tutorials i can read, or can someone give me some pointers, i am really lost.

Ps. i have already searched the forum, and i found nothing.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] pranay7777:
pta

using total commander to change reg is a pain. type \\ at the top and hit enter, you will enter the registry. hope it helps. took me sometime to figure it out.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] eye.ofthecyclone:
hope this is helpful

to edit the registry using total commander first open the application and then hit the "\" key on the top right which will then take you to the "main page" of total commander, you will then see a folder list the first of which will read "\\Plugins" double click that or press and hold and select "open" after opening another folder list will appear with 3 folders named "ftp, LAN and registry" then either double click or press and hold and select open on the folder named "registry" and from there on its similar to most other registry editing programs with the 3 folders " HKCR, HKCU and HKLM"
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] monkey_knight:
i never really had a problem with accessing the registry. easiest is to just go to the root of your phone...when you open up total commander, go to the first file, and hit left on the direction...it'll move up to the parent directory...keep doing so, til you can't go any further...and you'll see a folder "\\"...click in to that and then the registry folder and you'll get the HKCR, HKCU, and HKLM folders to manipulate the registry.

HTC Touch Enhanced & TouchCommander

[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] Sir.B:
as a bonus tip;

create a hotlist entry for quick future access

once in the registry select the show menu and then Directory hotlist

and you'll see Add current dir

hope it helps
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] rlsimon:
I have a question about use of total commander. I have installed a program which allows multiple clipboard entries which starts with soft reset via a startup folder shortcut and needs to be "hidden" manually ...is there a command line parameter to add to the startup command to have it "hide" or "minimize" when it starts ?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Multidex24:
I just bought my replacement phone for both my LG Optimus g pro and my galaxy s5. This is a really good phone. Only thing I hate is the battery life. Now I'm tryna see what is the best TW rom and how can I make it work with my at&t variant.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HappyPlato:
Sorry, I believe N910A is bootloader locked. Custom rom is not possible. Did you get it(bootloader) unlocked?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Multidex24:
I think I gotta good feeling it is. But if so, how can I get the bootloader unlocked?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Multidex24:
I'm running on Marshmallow 6.0.1. Do I maybe need to downgrade to lollipop to do all this?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cescman:
I have just upgraded my PC (both on windows 10).

My old setup was an external hard drive connected to the PC using USB, and I have shared some folders in the external drive to the network. I could assess the files with es file explorer on my nexus 5x.

With the new computer I got (surface pro) using the same external drive, after making the sharing settings, I could not assess the files in this external drive (I can see the folder but no response when I click that). However, I can see the files located in the internal drive that I shared.

What may have happened? Why can I see shared files in internal but not external drive? Any extra settings needed?

Thanks in advance

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beerbat123:
The phone of my girlfriend has been stuck in a bootloop for a few days. It happened while she watched a video. Apparently at the same time she got a message that her phone ran out of space. Then it crashed and has been stuck in the loop since then. Her phone is not rooted. She did restore the device to default settings using recovery mode. This didn't do anything however.

I've tried using ODIN 3.12.3 to flash the newest rom from sammobile since her carrier is T-Mobile. I followed a guide from adnroid central since I never had done anything like this before. It all worked as far as ODIN goes but is still stuck in the bootloop. I'd link the guide but I need 10 posts before I can include outside links.

I'm not sure what the next step would be. If I should try an older ODIN version or use a different stock rom. Before the whole incident her android version was 6.0.1 I believe. Also in the download mode the product name is SMG-900T.

I hope someone can point me in the right direction on what to do. Thank you!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RomBetaTester:
Have you tried flashing the marshmallow boot loader in odin?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beerbat123:
I'm not sure what you mean since I'm quite new to anything android. Would this be what you are talking about? I know it says only for S5 G900F and I have the G900T but would the overall process be the same?

Thank you for the reply though!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RomBetaTester:
Google search for marshmallow bootloader and flash it through Odin. I am very good with android. I can fix your problem. Is there anyway you could direct message me?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] chieco:
Hey xda,

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] thegreatkazoo:
Whats it supposed to do?

Edit: I got a type of dev menu or something with the *#0*#

Edit 2: IMEI stuff with the other one.

Both work for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Razvan:
Clear cache/dalvik from recovery and that's all.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] AlyCuong:
I also have the same problem, when i dial *#06# nothing happened.

I did clear cache/dalvik as you recommend but it's not solve the issue. I'm on SuperMan ROM
