[Q] viber app problem in xperia z

hi i did install viber app to xperia z half of the sticker not displaying did flash the phone two time with rom Aur and also stock but no luck pls help some one have this problem thanks in advance

Same problem here...

another problem with xperia z, if you are talking via viber from the external speaker, once you finish your call the sound and notification will com out of the calling speaker not the external speaker. i hope could fix those issues in the next release.

I had exactly same problem as you did, bit it looks like it is Viber problem. My wife had same thing on hers SII and SIII. Viber uninstalled till bug free version don't come out.

Same issue on my xperia Z, hope they fix it soon (not rooted).

For me I didn't even get there with bugs yet.. Am still trying to find out Why I can't define the normal missed calls from the viber ones! Can anyone understand what am talking about? How can I solve this?
my phone is Xperia Z C6602.

Still not fixed

Same issue!
Is there anyone who does not have this issue on Xperia Z??

Same issue + sometimes photos don't want to sent and remain at 'sending'

Viber installation problem for Sony Xperia Z
Hi, I have a new Sony Xperia Z, and I downloaded the Viber app. After typing in my phone number, I was notified that an SMS was on its way to me, only this never happened. Even after getting support from my phone supplier, I am getting nothing. I was told at one of the stores that I have my contract for the phone with, that is was maybe due to the phone being so new! On this website, I see many people already using Viber on their Sony Xperia Z, Can you help?

The famous touch screen issue!

Hi
My previous phone just broke and i pllaned to get a new one..
So i was searching in some sites and found the xZ1.. immadietly i ran to the store and when i arrived the seller told me that the device is out of stock..,
So i went home and looked on xda to see some reviews and comments about the device
And i found few interesting problems:
1. Touch Screen issue (The screen dont reconize touch)
2. Yellow hue problem (sord of yellow tint on the screen)
3.Bad WiFi reception
So i decided i will test the device infront of the seller and see if the phone is clear of all probs,
Pls tell me if someone from all owners out there, that u got a Xperia Z1 that dont have any problem of the probs i mention above!
I so wanna get it but i afraid those probs are exist on any Z1..

Hi ,
0. I have the Z1 and the only issue I have faced till now is bad Wifi reception WHICH HAS NOW BEEN FIXED on the 4.3 update.
1.Some devices do run into the touch Screen issue, As long as you are within the warranty you can exchange the device.
2. I know some people who own the device and none of them has run into the Yellow hue issue. But if you do Sony has released a Fix, which has been ported on: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2572080
3. Bad wifi reception is not horrible wifi reception, i live in a two floor house and my room is the furthest from a crappy modem. And I still have 1 to 2 bars of Wifi on 4.2 and 4 bars of Wifi on 4.3 (after latest update)
4.Another issue people mention is the Noise on Camera (dots showing on higher resolution pictures) this is due to the professionalism of the camera It requires certain features which sony still has to implement, this camera is The best camera phone!
In general the 4 issues above mentioned should not define your decision, because there are work arounds most of them.
Its an amazing phone and i do not regret getting it.

Its what i am here for , just hit that thanks meter if you think i helped!

I have the device for 2 days now and I can confirm the yellow hue, but it's only visible when you place the Z1 next to another device with both showing white color. If I wouldn't do that then I wouldn't be able to notice.
As for the touchscreen - I got this issue twice but it was gone after few seconds.
As for the WiFi - if the Internet shared by the router is under load (downloading, sending etc.) it shows regular reception but it drops to 1 bar and pops out an error with connecting.
Other than that, when the Internet is used in a regular way like PPL use YouTube, browse the Web then I have reception like a laptop or better so I can't complain. It's also better than my old xperia play.
As for the camera - It's STUNNING. Honestly - I've never seen a better camera in any phone. Yesterday I took a picture at night when I could barely see anything with my eyes and I actually could disguise a tree.
Don't hesitate to get it. Getting custom rom installed on a LB may be hard but it will be solved soon. I'm more than happy that I got this phone.

Does anyone tried to reproduce the touch problem? (The guide that says to wait 30 seconds with the device naked..)
And didnt experience anything??
I mean, the device is completly fine and didnt have any stops on the touch test?

Official 4.4.2 not so great?

Hi, I got this update this week, but it seems to make the UI much uglier and harder to use. Also it feels a bit buggy, the Walkman was randomly playing and pausing on headphones or speaker.
Is it just me?

I'm on UK Generik .290 and still waiting for KK update.... Anybody have the update already?

We know that the KK 4.4 is not so great, users facing many bugs. I didn't update to 4.4 just because of bad reviews.

Make sure you hard reset and wipe the data clean. Usually a upgrade of a software version is recommended to do that.
I haven't had the music player malfunction.

Well the idea of new statusbar kinda sucks because previous was much more comfortable, additionally I experience major camera lag for example when switching front camera to back and vice versa, also phone lags after taking picture and while switching to video. I also experience Force Closes. Touch became less sensitive but as for camera quality I must say that 8MP mode now take great pics even in low light +1.

Excuse my words but after using cyanogenmod and then this... 681 feels like **** more like a broken firmware i flashed cm11 again it is the real KK

That's your Opinion.

Oh, I see. So everyone is having some sort of issue with this update... I hope they fix it, although I fear this is what we'll be stuck with for a long time, unless you go custom.

I've been having problems with the ringtone/notification volumes. This morning the volume was so low, I could barely hear it. Also, there is an irritating 'click' just when there is a notification.
Appears that the official Sony forum is flooded with complaints; it seems that sometimes it rings through the earpiece! I sure hope I'm not stuck with this for a long time. I wish I hadn't upgraded.

Is there any way to revert to the previous update? Or at last change the top toolbar menu back or at least change it? I don't know the term for it...

This upgrade has been the worst for Xperia Z1.*. Problems with sound notifications, overheating of the battery, rapid battery consumption, etc, etc, etc ...
I hope that Sony will soon solve these problems.

Greetings,
Before i flash back the 4.3 which at my opinion is the BEST firmware for Z1 right now , i played with official KK one week and i noticed that the battery life wasnt so great anymore , i had some random overheating problems , the new notification UI its terrible , i had the problem with the sound coming from the ear speaker than the regular speaker , the overall feeling was buggy less smooth .
So yeah i revert back to 4.3 and i am totally happy , loving again my phone , feeling comfortable and reliable .
Cheers
Vatis

I flashed my UK handset originally Vodafone but bought 2nd hand and network unlocked. I used Flashtool to flash CE 1 of KK (681) not had a problem with overheating or any other bugs mentioned at all. I did flashed with full wipe.

The overheating is just happening when i am gaming, but the sound issue is really bad.....cmon!!

Don't post questions in general section. btw, there are 2 different panels available for xperia Z. yours is probably made by Sharp.

As u say u have Flashed many roms so u must have a unlock bootloader... And u may have lost ur DRM keys which is necessary for Bravia Engine to work....
So ur Bravia Engine might not working...that's the reason...

Colour adjustments can be done after flashing a custom kernel. Use an app to adjust RGB and gamma values after that.

@Tommy-Geenexus Zombie kernel for example, which is pre-tuned gamma (and it is good )

Yeah you'll have to unlock boatloader and use a custom kernel like Zombie to get a solid result.

Hello, could anybody provide a link to video or screens which compare colors/contrast of this kernel with stock one? Thanks.
Odoslané z C6603 pomocou Tapatalku

Screens wont work because they will be identical. Recording a video or taking a photo is, but do you really expect us to go to the trouble of.getting a second camera or phone and do this just for you? Maybe someone will but I wouldn't expect it.
If it troubles you that much, you can unlock boatloader and try it yourself.

Of course I dont make anybody even to do it nor especially for me.
I just thought somebody who read about it could also share some existing comparasion if there it is.

whats yout illumination setting and how have you set white balance
