Hi folks.
I just picked up my Xperia Z today which has fiat released. I went home and started using it. After some hours use, I put it in the dock that came with the device.
At this point my phone started showing a video with some blinking colorful text appearing. Just like a commercialfor the phone. I took it out of the dock and suddenly my "desktop" was reset back to factory default. I have had this happeninga few times, both ind the dock, after "locking" the device, and while playing YouTube videos.
Am I the only one experiencing this? And does anyone have a solution?
Best regards

i hear it for the first time
u use dock to charge but it automatically play demo and u cannot stop it !
then u take it from the dock and ur phone reset to factory mode !
r u sure u didn install something or anything to unlock or root
Or better to ask what did u do in few hrs u used it?!
I think u got a demonstration phone for retails only.
It show demos when nobody is using it at the retail or shop.
And reset after playing with it, so next customer can play with like New XZ
Just make sure

Sv: Xperia Z does a sort of a reset
Yeah. I read through quite some forum posts and it seems that what caused my problem was some "sample_demo" app that was running.
I just has to clear data for this and I haven't had a problem since.
I haven't rooted my device yet since I don't see a real use for it as I did with my HTC Desire. As for now I'm going to stay with stock, but in the future I might root it.
Thanks for the help btw.

Okay.. After this night while my phone was recharging it suddenly started running the retail demo again. I found two retail apps in the running apps list which I force closed and one of them was deactivated.
Is there some way I can remove them completely? I know of ADB and have own an old HTC Desire which I had rooted and etc.
My XZ is not yet rooted..

Hi! all. My playstore is not working. When i launch playstore, it doesn't load anything just the dark grey background with the message "No Connection RETRY". When i click retry, the screen just flash white quickly & return to the same screen. I tried to randomly search for an app but nothing comes out. I noticed that the option "My Apps" is also missing. Any idea how to fix this?

Make sure when you launch it you have fully working data connection or wifi.
If it doesn't work, settings> apps >all> Google play store and clear cache and data. And try again.

Uninstall the the play store updates? Or try finding a play store apk and go from there? If not
Then do a full wipe and repair with Sony update service. So odd that only this app is having issues.

Download it from PlayStation website, i did that, and install it by transfering APK file to your phone, than run it.
Of course, before that delete existing app.

A new play store apk was uploaded some where in one of the xda forums two weeks ago. Head over there and see if you can get that one installed. May fix the problem.

Did you disable background data for it? It might complain if that is turned off.
Are you from Belgium?

Have you installed any hacking mods installed that are connected to in-app purchases? If so, please remove them!

How?! I'm having this very problem right now
Hi all, I have an extremely irritating issue with my album covers appearing on the wrong artists & wondered if it is because they are cached & how to solve?
Basically I have 2 albums, one is called R.E.D. & the other is called Red. For some reason the walkman seems to think they are the same album & keeps messing up the album cover & putting all tracks into either one! How can I stop this? I have tried renaming both on the phone & from the computer, but everytime I click save or put the music back onto the phone, it keeps reverting back to either Red or R.E.D. for both albums & won't do what I want!
Hope this makes sense? Very hard to explain & it's driving me crazy :crying:
Thanks for any help!
Just a thought. Could you not try putting a space before Red? So instead of having R as the first letter it's a space... On my HTC phone that tended to solve it.

Yep thanks, tried that but it just kept reverting
The walkman is so stupid sometimes, even when I change album covers they don't even show up & when they do it's random. It's bad for my OCD!
Sorry, don't know what to suggest then. But yes I can imagine it's very annoying.

Since updating to 4.3 my Sony select asp will not work properly. It keeps telling me there is no network connection even when things are obviously fine.
Do far I have tried a restart of my phone and clearing all data and cache in the app. Nothing has worked so far.
On the Sony forum there seems to be a number of people experiencing this as well. I updated through the pc companion if that could possibly have anything to do with it.
Any other recommended course if action?

I check Sony forum, lot of people have the same problem since dec 22. It's annoying how they can put an update and nit assume it.:crying:
I'm facing the same issue! I tried deleting cache and all app data from the both "Sony Select" items that appear on the Apps list. No luck...
Same here

Same here, 4.3 Central Europe. Tried repair via PCC, no luck.

If you want the themes
Tri-Flat - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=se.knowit.mobile.triflat&hl=en
and the camera apps
Motiongraph - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sonymobile.motiongraphforxperia
use the related apps/more from developer to search for other themes
Same issue here.

solution to Sony Select not working
Hello friends,
If you're looking, like me, for sony select just for theme. Here i have a solution for all of you, of course until sony update this problem.
You don't really need sony select to check theme, just go to "play store", and type Xperia theme. Or to be more specific type "Triflat" and after that scroll down until you get others titles from developer "KNOWIT MOBILE AB".
Hope this will help you guys, see you
It started working again last night. I have no idea why. I did also receive the Walkman update

Same issues simply not working, no error just no data coming into the app
I just recently got my xperia Z1s and it's also my first Sony phone period. I'm really enjoying it but all of a sudden my YouTube videos play about half way through then stop and go back to the beginning again? It never makes it past that half point. I've only noticed this with YouTube so it could be an app issue, vevo plays fine, but idk cause YouTube was working fine until yesterday and today as well. My other devices are playing videos from YouTube fine so I'm puzzled as to wether this is an app problem specific to the Z1s or if it's my phone itself maybe?? I don't have too much longer to make a return. If anyone has this issue as well please let me know, or any suggestions? I already tried clearing cache and data as well. That's about all I can do since I'm not rooted of course.

I open a thread about this since 4.3 rollout but no one cared/had this issue..I cant skip to an unloaded part of the video, only way to do this is restoring to factory version on YouTube

So you wouldn't say it's a problem with the phone itself then Right? Most likely just YouTube or some weird YouTube bug?

I hope its the youtube app, since I noticed the issue there's been like 4 updates but bug still there, my other devices have no problems. Also worth noting that in-app players (for example when I open a vid in flipboard or pocket) don't suffer from this

Its the youtube app.
Read the comments about the app...https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.youtube&hl=nl
I reverted back to the old ap by removing the updates in "apps" and the problem is gone.
I have the same issue. I try to reverted back to the old one

Reverting back to the old one does work, but still it kind of grinds my gears America! Lol. We should be able to use the latest version of YouTube on a high end phone like this. YouTube needs to fix this ASAP.

After updating to NPD35K, my Android smartwatch does not receive any notifications from my phone, regardless of notifications being enabled and no apps blocked from sending notifications in the Android wear app.
I've also tried several different versions of the Android wear app, with no change .
Has anyone has similar issues, or have any insight into a possible fix?
Thank you.

Which watch do you have? You may need to go into watch settings, unpair with phone and that resets the watch. Then set it up through Android Wear app again. Hope that helps.
Casio WSD-F10. I've tried factory reset and unpair a couple times with no luck . It was working flawlessly with the previous version of N preview.

I'm at a loss. I know the Wear app had a market update a few days ago. If you've already tried the reset, uninstall and reinstall the phone Wear app over a clean ROM flash, I don't know what you could try next. Me personally, I'd downgrade til N was out of beta or verified working with my watch. I've gotten to where it's a necessity to have my watch on. Good luck. If I come across anything, I'll post it here.
Thanks. Yea, it's kind of frustrating not being able to use it with N now, especially since just last week it worked perfectly fine.

Go back to M, why flash to a developer preview and then complain when things don't work? ITS A DEVELOPER PREVIEW!
Not here to complain, but if I find an issue why not ask if anyone else had the same problem, and a possible solution?

Does anyone know if the Android wear version on the phone and smartwatch need to be the same? Or are they independent of each other?
