[Q] Jenga not working?

Hi!
I'm on stock uk v10d, and I just downloaded today's amazon free app of the day, Jenga but I have problems with starting it. Whenever I start it, it gets stuck at the developers logo...
Anyone else with the same problem?
edit: Finally it started, as i left it for five minutes, but now I can't seem to exit it... back button doesn't work... however, great game, just buggy

Mine is working but it starts after ~30 sec. And I'm on cm7

I figured out that if i turn off the screen and right after it i turn it back on, the game starts...
There is the same issue on the Xoom... can this be a kind of incompatibility with Tegra2?
anyway now i can play the game, runs great, but the only way to exit it is to kill the process... i can live with it but i think i‘ll send feedback to the developer

Screen becomes purple

Dear All,
I recently bought my phone and i am trying to get used to its big screen but otherwise i am fan already.
I was playing a game and suddenly my screen turned purple, initially i thought it was the games graphic but after closing it the screen itself was purple. I restarted my phone and the screen became normal.
Is it something serious?
I am still under my seven days return period and i can cancel the contract.
Thanks

i too faced the similar problem. After restarting the screen became normal. Anyways this may help. Go to 'Display' > 'auto adjust screen power' and uncheck it. This should solve the problem.

So that means its not a hardware fault?

Do not fear, it is not a hardware fault. Its potentially a power saving glitch !!! Your device is not faulty. Relax !!!

Same thing happened to me and I ran to XDA to search and found this! I'm a bit relieved that it seems it is a software issue, but I don't have screen power saving on and I turned off all power saving options.
I started up Gameloft's GT Racing Academy and thought it was some weird game bug, but then after closing it my homescreen was also pink/purplish.

I have a similar problem but it doesn't turn purplish after playing a game. With mine, when ever I wake up my GNote after an hour or so, it will start off green but slowly fade away after a few seconds. One person suggest it could be a screen fault and to return it. But after I disable the auto screen brightness, it has improved (still getting a green coloring when I wake it up but take less than 1 second to get back to normal and I can live with that). But I never had to reboot to get the screen back to normal though. It could possibly be a bug with the game.
If it only happens with one game, it will more likely be the game that is causing it. But if it is happening with every game, I would be a bit more concern.
If you got a custom kernel or custom rom, try a different rom or re-flashing the kernel/rom. I read on a few other threads that by re-flashing, it fixes some problems.

It was happened to me yesterday when I am playing GT Racing game. I switched off and on again then no problem.

Same game it happened to me on. The screen was fine before I started the game, but once I got into the game everything was covered in a purple hue. I wonder if it is that specific game that might cause it, because I'll delete it and never go back.

This has just happened to me while using Google Talk ... Everything went purple ... When switching back to the home screen, icons that were orange are pink ... Not a good look ... A reboot solved it and I feel a tad reassured after reading these posts that it's nothing major ...

Pictures, pictures, pictures!!! Do a hand swipe when you see it to capture a picture!!!!! It happened to me too and I forgot to take a damn picture!

Totally forgot, but I hope I never get the chance to again!

same problem after upgrading to ics
My screen works perfectly on GB rom but when i upgrade to ics it turns purple. you can actually see the moment it turns purple when turning on the phone and the samsung logo appears.. it is white for a few seconds and turns purple. i have tried all the suggestions i have found in forums or youtube but nothing solved the problem. i have also tried many different ics releases but same problem. only when going back to GB it becomes normal again.
anyone has a suggestion?

Different camera problem?

Hi,
I am trying to find a solution for a problem with the Xperia T camera, I tried looking through the forum but couldn't find what I had exactly.
When the camera app starts if you do nothing and just look around with it, it will just shut down suddenly, sometimes after only 5 - 10 seconds. The amount of time varies but is normally very quickly, and it is becoming very annoying with the app vanishing just as you are about to take a photo. There is no black screen, freezing, slow down during or after and no problem starting it straight back up.
It was on T_9.1.A.0.489 (Three) and I tried repairing it. The problem is still there after flashing 9.1.A.1.140 today.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

How are you starting the camera app? via the camera button or via the app icon in the app drawer?

It happens after starting it from the lockscreen and from the camera button. I can't be sure about the app icon, I haven't really checked. It is my gf new phone, but I was using the camera recently when I needed to take some pictures and video at uni so I was the one who noticed it and she had pretty much not used the camera yet. She always gives anything that needs fixing to me, so that is why I am now looking.
I can try from the app icon later, don't have the phone with me just now.
Edit: Apparently it does not happen when launched from the icon, is this a feature then I take it?
I did actually wait and try it with my Xperia Z I got on Wednesday before posting here, in what was now a failed attempt at not looking stupid, and thought the Z was free of it but I have gone back and checked and it is happening but with a longer time before closing (Xperia T normally around 15 seconds although has been shorter, Xperia Z is around 30 seconds so I did not notice at first - and both are fine from the icon).
Is there any way to stop it, I would like to launch the camera conveniently without it timing out on me so fast (and the same for my gf who has an actual button like my last phone the Arc that did not do this).

Z1 SOD (Sleep of death)

This is a pain in the arse, I've had my Z1 for less then 24 hours and already had it 5 times as I change my display settings.
Screen is there just the backlight isn't switched on.
Argh Sony

What firmware are you on? Yeah, it sucks to have issues on a brand new handset especially at this price! Try to check if there's update available. I'm currently on .531 and haven't had any SOD so far.

i have no problem

If optimised backlight is switched off then it seems to happen anytime to change anything to do with brightness.

I have experienced this bug on multiple occasions as well since I first got the phone. The phone randomly goes to sleep but the backlight stays on. Then I am not able to unlock the phone by pressing the power button and I need to hard-reset it (vol up+power) to bring it back to life.
For me it happened once or twice already even with Optimized backlight checked

happened to me when i was trying to share a dinosaur effect photo in the camera app

I actually experienced the bug on a few occasions right now and can't see a pattern. It doesn't matter if I have optimized lightening on or other functions it will just randomly happen on different occasions.
I have just flashed the newest .534 firmware and soon after the same thing happaned again so I guess it has not been fixed as of yet.

Arrgh! I just experienced this screen bug . And this is for the first time in last 4 days of owning the phone. It occurred while the phone was lying on the table (battery 9%) & I picked it up to make a call, but the screen won't light up. Had to hard boot using vol up + power button. Have not touched the optimised backlight option (still checked). Hope sony fixes this asap!

DAMN ! I'm on 14.1.G.1.534 and I just got this ! it hasn't even been 24 hours yet since I bought this phone. terribly disappointed.this could be such a great device. hope it doesn't keep happening - Sony Xperia Z1 C9602 - wtf sony.

I've had this happen twice since been on 534 firmware and had to use the red button to force the device down. Very frustrating but I think Sony will sort it and all will be good.

i have just about had enough of sony to be honest, i cant believe this is the third sony device in a row where there is something wrong with it, i bought the xperia z tablet, the touch screen was way to sensitive until an update fixed it, i bought the z ultra and returned it because of the sod, and now this, i turned off my phone last night as i didnt want to be interrupted, try to turn it on this morning, the sony screen comes up, then a blank gray screen, rebooted it a few times with no luck, the last time i just left it and eventually it booted to the home screen
and just now, i opened the camera app, just get a black screen, open snapchat to see if the camera works there, nope, it says error with the camera please restart device, so i do, only to experience the sod again...
honestly, with my experiences with xperia, i have had enough, i can put up with mediocrity only for a bit, if i keep on putting up with this crap, it makes me look like a fool
stuff you sony

Same here, terrible bug. Screen is actually there, but backlight won't turn on. I have to position phones screen towards the light source in order to go to the screen settings to uncheck optimised backlight option. If it is checked I have to uncheck it to get backlight to turn on and vice versa. Sony, fix that as soon as possible 'cause you got some pissed Xperia Z1 users here!

Im with a uk model and still on the original 518 version, and I've been playing it around for several days but no SOD issue

same issue with z1 C6903
i using z1 with .534 also facing same problem for past a week. it is dead when phone calls in. have to hard reset too. come on sony, this is issue is not new. we need a solution.
mind you, the phone is not launch in my country but i manage to use it.

Hi All,
I am from India and using Z1 (C6902) and its been 3 days since using my phone and thank god, no SOD at all...
maybe since mine is C6902 thats why ... i dont know but no SOD here till now

I have noticed this bug after i rooted my z1. (root via kingo tool), before it was working ok.
So when power off button pressed, screen still active...
after some tries, i have disabled auto-brightness check box. its now more or less working.

You're buying products that are relatively new (except the Tablet Z) and expect no bugs at all? LOL I think you need to step back and look at the whole picture. To be honest Sony releases updates in a fast and consistent manner so you should be happy that do this. Even the Nexus devices have their share of bugs and always see people react like bugs do not exist. There will always be bugs and what you want from a manufacturer is to release fixes.

Hi, me too having this bug. I had this SOD twice since last 7 days. Had to do a hard reset both the times. Waiting for sony to fix it. I think its the jelly bean bug and not the Sony's firmware's bug but can be fixed, i think.
I am from india and on the latest fw. 534.
Please let me know if there is any solution to this available in the market. Thanks in advance.

phone and watch keep switching to priority mode

Not sure if this is a GWR issue, but if I disconnect it, I don't seem to get the problem occuring.
I'm using it with an Xperia Z3, recently updated to lollipop. I keep noticing the phone and watch have the star icon, meaning it has flipped into priority mode. It is doing this spontaneously without me doing anything. Yesterday it seemed to be really bad - almost every time I looked - there was the damn star.
Is anyone else having this issue? Found anything to fix it?
