hi
just guessing as I'm no technician, but as you tried it with different roms I suspect you answered yourself: might be a hardware issue
if it also didn't work on stock rom it might be a good idea to contact SE service, hope you are still in warrranty period...

Ed. maybe it's worth trying wifimonster, haven't used it myself but it's got a good rep and seems to offer quite a few configuration options
cheers

Hello!
I've already try wifimonster and all the same like in communication manager, crash...
I have got warranty, or I dont know. I've got 1+1 year,and this is the second. I don't know what is the difference between them.

hi
shame wifi monster would have been easier...
I would expect the following: first year warranty provided by (responsibility of) reseller (provider), second year by producer
easy to confirm when contacting your reseller shop (if you got it there with a contract)

Would love to know how many people have bricked their notes.Is it just an odd few or are there 100s.Has anyone had repairs ,unbricked or replaced by their carrier?
I too would like to know this.
Ok
Soft brick? I am sure there are tons, me included, a proper brick brick after which you use the phone for a coaster, don't think so many, though I have one of those too (shattered display).
Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought it was nearly impossible to brick an Android phone? When I was learning to flash and so on with my SGS, I certainly bollocked it up a lot of times (ah... misadventures with using incorrect files...). I have always been able one way or another been able to get back in and mend the damage.
With the Note, Download mode is hardwired in so I thought it would be difficult indeed to properly brick it. That said, I haven't done much with the SGN yet since it's my daily device and I leave it alone. (@torqu3e, I don't think shattered screens count towards the typical definition of 'bricked' do they? I thought it was a software f-up )
When someone says brick, I think of a phone that just won't turn on and is completely useless...but in many people's cases recently, the partition tables have been messed up and the phone is as good as useless. It no longer holds its function as an Android device. So yes, add me to the list of "bricked" Notes out there.
I got a hard brick! :-( It's in the shop..

Sharing wat you did to brick your phone might help others prevent it.This is not only to you but to all who's gonna report here....
I was talking more about bricking from flashing that dodgy ics ROM.Anyone unbricked or had it fixed under warranty.
Add me to the list. I bricked when I flashed a kernel that messed up the partition tables. Its at the service now.
one more to the list
i need to sent mine to the US
I faced a soft brick when i was flashing ics betas (mobile to pc screen) but fixed it by flashing stock rom then flashed back ics!

Same here, I think it will be more than 20. at least
You should've made this a poll - feels a bit silly responding 'never bricked'
never bricked.

In ODIN while trying to flash CF-Root ICS progress bar froze on Factoryfs flash and after 30 minutes I unplugged it. Phone at this point wont restart turn on or anything. Didn't respond to JIG to go into download mode so I took it to a service center in Southern California. They tried fixing it with JTAG and it didn't respond. It is Kernel related. I got some sort of good news today from the service center that they may have found a solution and are receiving a new tool to do the trick. I am crossing my fingers and waiting for the next phone call from them that if they could get my phone up and running again!!

Hi Telstra users,
I would just like to ask if anyone here on the .259 firmware is still experiencing the infamous touch screen problem after updating from .257 to .259? your reply is very much appreciated.
Here's the link in sony forums and I too have the same problem

So you definately didn't have that problem with the previous firmware?
Because the issue you raise here is an issue all the time, and would appear to be hardware related rather than firmware.

What he means is the firmware is pretty much the same as everyone else, the iteration of the update is only Telstra customisation.

Just asking this because someone tipped me that his touch issue was solved by flashing the .259 from Telstra so I'm just wondering if that will be the case and wanted to have feedback from the owners.
I've always had this problem and still hoping in the next update that this will be solved. Tipo and Miro have this issue too and a third party app solved the problem.

it would be good if you have the problem since we can really test if the update solved it but since you have a non faulty phone trying it would be not a good idea since we cannot really test or prove something.

What's keeping you from trying yourself? I mean, you have the problem, you heard the .259 fixed it... If you want to know for real if it does, flash it yourself.

i'm pretty sure it's a software issue, i downloaded that app they mentioned and when i test my touch screen it always goes fine.
but i too did sometimes notice my touchscreen failing to register touches during games, after long time of playing, but if i quit and reenter the game it's all fine again...
so it's not a hardware problem, defenetly software, sony are aware of it and will solve it, fast i hope.
First I've heard of it haha
Had my Z1 for about 3-4 months and been on 259 for probably half that. No issue prior or post update

Why don't you take the phone back or try some other ones to see if they have the same issue, for instance in your telco shop. If they don't get your phone replaced.

Customer service is really sucky here in my country. If you send your phone for repair when it comes back parts are stolen and will charge you even for parts and repair. Tried some units that were on display and dont have that annoying issue.
Fingers crossed since nexus 7 2013 had the same problems and I'm hoping that an update will fix this.

A couple of days ago I flashed just the 259 Kernel and I would say the touch screen improved a bit, but it kept failing. I would say mostly if you touch near one of the screen borders.
I just flashed the whole 259 firmware and my screen keeps failing as with just the kernel... only difference is now I have a weird boot logo and root is gone!

Yes, because it is a standard ROM, same would happen if you restored your phone with PC Companion.
Hello again friends,
So,after a while of asking and comparing devices,I finally got My Z1 yesterday,but guess what?I found out that it has the touchscreen problem!I realized it after doing the test..now I dont know if it can be fixed by some software or something or if I must return it to the store and wait a loooong time till they bring me another one which will probably have the same problem |-(
What can I do?any thoughts?
Please man, use the search button, we have A LOT of posts about this problem, we have a possible solution for it, just serach on the forum and you will find.....

Ok, some questions, On the box of your phone is write "Made in Brazil"? If you put your phone on a flat surface, wait 30 sec and try to scroll a page it will fail? When you are playing a game and the phone is hot your touch fails? If yes you have a hardware problem, ask for a replacement, i had to change my phone 3 times until find a working one, my other 2 Z1 was made in Brazil, now the working one is made in China, some people with the China one have this problem too, but is rare. The Brazilian version is having an assembly problem, causing bad contact, if this is your case change the phone.

Ok, make a try with games and see if the problem will appears, i recommend you to do the following, pick a camera and record the problem when it appears, then take to store and change the phone, BUT before you go out test if the problem will come on the new phone, that was what i did, i stayed 3 hour inside the store testing
@MakaMika Sorry to say but you can join us here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2540950
Anyway, still some chance to fix this touch screen problems with a software, a good new FW which we wait for it but I will not wait until that and I will send the phone back to the store when you bought it a tell them to fix it or replace with a new device, like I did. The phone still under warranty and should be issues free and it's not so you have the rights to send it back. Sony Service will decide if repair or replace.
3 hours???LOOL I guess i ll try the gaming test,what game do you recomand to heat up the phone quickly?

This hardware issues can be managed via software that is why we wait for that FW. BTW we are not sure when and how and if it's hardware or software related but new FW should definitely help. They are aware about this issues and they point the FW in that way to fix it.

Me too. I try to clarified, Sony never confirmed it's a hardware problem of they touch screen. People has different Touch Screen issues, someone when touch the aluminium frame the Touch Screen start working well again, someone else don't have that but have problem scrolling pages or opening the phone with pattern even if they touch the aluminium frame or not. So here is the confusion, who have to touch the aluminium frame to let working the Touch Screen saying it's a hardware related (kind of wrong phone sealing) and others who have the problem even when touching the aluminium frame or not saying it's a software related. Many said also after the update to 4.3 the touch screen get worse, like mine. Now do you understand the confusion? Many send the phones back via warranty, many waiting for a FW pointed to fix this issues. Developers are aware about this Touch Screen problem so they try to fix it, even if seems hardware related, with the release of the new updated FW .114, .124 or 136, who know?
Yes,I get you.mine works well when touching the aluminum frame.I guess after all i should return it,didnt even enjoy the few days of having it
Are you sure that a hardware problem can be solved with software update? I mean, i know that software can turn around some issues, but this is not certain

Hi there, my camera is having a real trouble right now.
I take my phone from the box and get the update from 4.0.2 to 4.0.3.
I did it.
Then I used like my daily phone but... the camera didn't Focus, manual or auto focus, just can't focus.
I did a wipe... Still the same problem.
I did a re-install of the 4.0.3 ROM. Still have problems.
What can I do?
Thanks.
Sorry about my english. I'm from Argentina.
If you've already wiped and re-flashed OOS, then it's likely a hardware issue.
I would contact OnePlus's warranty service prior to opening up the phone and trying to fix it yourself.

Thanks mate =/
I've got the same problem. I wiped not the sdcard data on the phone (storage/emulated/0) but everything else I wiped with TWRP as I updated to the latest OOS 5.0.3: Problem still exists, nothing solved. The phone is running fine, but the camera doesn't autofocus, every picture is blurry.
Has someone information for me, on what to expect, when I contact the OnePlus support with this problem? Or has anyone tried to repair it by himself/herself?
I had same issue around 6 months back. Its a hardware issue so don't waste your time flashing different roms like i did. Then i went to OnePlus Exclusive Store and they checked my phone and they told me that, they will fix it for FREE (even if your phone is out of warrenty) its a well known issue for 3 & 3T which OnePlus noticed a year back, as many users started facing this. If you are facing same issue then just go to the service center and get it fixed (it wont take more than an hour)
Tip: There is a third party company called Regenersis, which is authorised service center for OnePlus and many other brands, you can get it fixed here as well.
Cheers!
Same problem for me, sent to repair under warranty.
If you shake the phone the focus point will change? this is what happens to me, for a couple of months I was shaking the phone every time that I was taking a picture, sometimes focus was in the right place and I could take the picture

Hi folks, I asked OnePlus for a repair and they handled this quite well: My phone was back after eight days, now my camera is focusing again.
But now I'm questioning myself (and you, too )...:
A) What was the reason for this defect in the first place... Is there anything I can do to avoid it happening again?
B) I used different versions of the modded Google camera app in the past, but now I'm hesitating to install it again: could anything of this app might have damaged the focus of the camera module? Maybe the app tried to focus the camera out of its working range...?

A) Probably just a random hardware failure. It happens. Not much you can do about it. It's a mechanical component (the few left on phones these days) and can fail on day one, or not fail for years. Don't drop the phone too much, is probably the best you can do! lol
B) I doubt it was the fault of the Google camera app. I've been using the Google camera mod for a long time, with no issues.

I used a couple different builds, but haven't messed with it for a very long time. I put 5.1.018Arnova8G2-V1.3 on there a long time ago (over a year) and haven't updated it since.
EDIT: I have no better explanation for my lack of updating the Google Cam mod, other than I just fell out of the loop. Your question made me realize how far that mod has come during that time! I just installed the recent version 6.1.021 by Arnova8G2 and giving it a try.
