Xperia Z does a sort of a reset

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..

Z1s YouTube issues, anyone?

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.

Lockscreen big problem

Hi guys, i have a "little" (annoying...) problem, on existenz ROM (which i have already re-installed, because i kind of messed up before)
So, did clean install (so dont tell me to do that again ), and i cant change my lockscreen wallpaper with a custom one: i can chose xperia's wall, but when i try to chose one from the album app, it says it can't change wp.
What can i do?
(i have reflashed all, and still same result, wtf is that )

Noone ?

what version of existenz? also check which photo editor program you are using. 3.1.5/3.3.0 has two: one with .chinese or something, which you shouldn't use because it wont' let you change wallpaper

Works fine here, where are you setting the image from?
I havent done it in a while but im sure I had to set it from Sonys album or it wouldnt work, cant remember if I had to go through the proper settings menu too (personalisation > lockscreen).
Hope that helps.

I did the same, before i reinstall the rom everything was good. Now i dont kmow why it doenst work anymore...

Sony Album app showing thumbnails also?

Hi all, I noticed that since the last update, the Sony Album app is showing thumbnails as photos.
The thumbnails are very small files and thus very bad quality.
I already deleted the thumbnails several times via root browser but they keep showing up.
Also wipe app data or complete fresh install doesn't solve this.
Does anyone know how to solve this?
Thanks in advance!
Regards

I'd say that you've been using this phone for a long time (assuming you didn't do a factory reset for a long time) and it's time to back your stuff up and put them on the computer/HDD and do a complete system reinstall using PC Companion/Flashtool and put your things back.
Or at least that's what I would do if I were you.
