I think there is a service menu dial *#*#7378423#*#* on the phone key pad.
This should allow you to test many functions.
There's a theory that early manufactured devices have a touch screen issue - when flat or when charging responsiveness is wrong.
As far as I can tell the issue with c5302 is that the Play store doesn't properly recognise it and it's possible you won't be able to install some games (I suppose this might be a regional licencing issue?)
Apart from that all the usual stuff - people sometimes try and sell water damaged phones second hand that have 95% functionality - so make sure it can make calls, connect to data, connect to wifi, that the internal SD is recognised by the phone and by a PC you connect it to and that it accepts external SD cards and also recognises them.

hi iam using my xperia sp two months right now, facing touch screen problem as said above, and also overheating problem. pls check this two points. everything else ok, this two things make me very irritating and angry, in my point of view this two you must be check first.

c5306
I have 2 weeks with my SP (c5306), it came with a very old firmware (12.0.A.1.234) but it hasn't the two issues you mention (flat surface issue and overheating (42C max with heavy gaming), although it does have a lot of issues regarding WiFi drops and bipolar WiFi Direct connectivity.

How do i check the screen touch problem ?

Sony DR-BTN200

I tried the search engine but couldn't find posts or threads about it. Is there anyone who owns this headphone? And if yes, could you give me some info about your satisfaction level.. I'm looking for some decent, not overpriced wireless headphones (hate to open the flaps all the time) and those are on top of my list, just hoping someone has them already and could give some feedback, thanks in advance.

All the XZs bought in singapore under a telecom contract got this as freebie , and its amazing, interms of quality of sound and durablity ,. this is by far the best in clarity compared to the stock , and has a very good battery life ... and the NFC capablity makes it easy to pair.. all though white was freely issued , the blacks are more sexy

i have these also...the quality is awesome...really good for that and price...i only charged these headphone on the first day...and now about 5weeks are gone and i still have about 50%...i hear about 50min everyday
I'm using one and it's a wonderful thing.
Very light, good sound quality.
Hello,
I came across this topic and it make me reconsider the question, SBH-20 or DR-BNT-200?
I'm using headphones 99% of the time. I was thinking that it won't be that bad having it directly Bluetooth( and not over the SBH-20). Because of course, those flaps are a nuisance.
As the days get hotter (around 20 degree C), I came home and sweat quite a lot under my actual cheap headphone. So I I'm wondering if any of you have an experience about this with the Sony one?
And can the build in microphone used on a computer?

I'm using one of these too and they are really good, battery lasts more than a week with about 4-6 hours usage each day.. yes the mic can be used on the computer (bluetooth obviously)...
I wear mine at the gym and running and Sweat has not been an issue so far.

Yeah, that's right, I forgot to turn my brain on ...
Let me tell you... I had both the SBH-20 and DR-BNT-200. If you quailty is one of your concern. Go for SBH-20. it much better. it comes with MH775 earphones. It sounds very good.

Thanks for the tip, but I've already my DR-BTH200. I find the sound good.
You, can not expect that much for this because it's not a high end one. If you want a good wireless headphone, I think the MDR-1RBT is the Sony one for you. But the price... Is not the same
By the way I prefer headphones. And sbh20 is still not available in my country...
Thanks anyway.

[Q] Basic Problems with HTC One M7

I'm a HTC One user..and i had to search so many pages just to find out all the basic problems with HTC One device..so now i'm making a specific thread for this..
This list will help those people who are planning to buy HTC One, have planned to buy HTC One or have already bought HTC One.
I'm gonna list down the problems with this device in 2 categories..first the very common problem with the device and second the rare problems that only few people are facing..
This post will be regularly updated depending on the people comments..so if you have any problem with your device people do comment on this thread..i will read each and every comment and update the data..
Common Problems
1. Gap Problem : The gap between the speaker grill and the body..both at top and bottom. Since HTC is promoting this phone as 'ZERO GAP' phone..this manufacturing fault is unacceptable.. http://img541.imageshack.us/img541/628/img2897q.jpg
2. Camera Problem : I have personally faced this problem.
Picture : http://i.imgur.com/vQ0b0np.jpg
Video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4p7a9tdNVYo&feature=youtu.be
Thread for this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317507
This problem is noticeable when you take pictures in low light. By default if you take a picture in a dark room..the picture should be black..since no light source is available..but in defective HTC One it's red/purple.
Again this is totally unacceptable since HTC has marketed this phone as the best phone for low light pictures..
3. Loudspeaker : This problem was there in my first device..when at maximum volume..there is a hissing sound from the speakers.. This sound/vibration is also visible when calling someone..or when you play music at max volume.
Again HTC has marketed this device as the phone with the best sound speakers..so i have no idea whether HTC has a Q&C dept or not..because the quality is really poor..
4 Dead Pixels : Many people have reported dead pixels..
5. Proximity Sensor: The proximity sensor is not working in few devices.
Other Problems
1. The home and back button weren't working properly..but after the update i think it's working fine.
2. Few people have noticed purple tint in the center of the pictures taken by the camera...
3. Mic problem
4. Death Grip
5. Cracked Camera Glass
There is no possible solution for the above issues..the only possible thing to do is to get it repaired or replaced..
I have already got one device replaced and will be getting another device replaced this week till i don't find a perfect device!
So please do let us know if you have faced any problem with your HTC one..so i can make a check-list for the new HTC One users..so that they can buy a defect free HTC ONE!
I had to return 1 phone because the back mic didn't work so I had no speakerphone. I have read that HTC has since changed the type of mic being used during manufacture.

The easiest way to test is to take a video in HD mode as it uses both mics to record video sound in stereo. During the recording run your fingers over the 2 mics one after another.
When playing it back you should hear the noises from your finger touching the mics.

Just for those who have no idea where the mics are..there are two small holes..

2. Top-Right Corner on the backside of the phone

Shouldn't there be an option to choose no issues? I slapped a Mophie case on my One and immediately rooted and flashed Android Revolution HD and have had zero issues. Coming from having every single iPhone since the very first I have to say I am really happy with this device. Freedom!!!

Well. Honestly, I don't see the gap issue since mine is black so I can't really tell. The only problem I've had is 7 dead pixels and with a 1080p screen, the only time I was seriously able to figure that out was in recovery mode at night when all the lights were out. So, I don't really see any major problems.
I have a flawless phone besides a bulging volume rocker and the biggest issue - TERRIBLE signal... No dead pixels that I've noticed, speakers sound fine, maybe a little buzzing but nothing out of the ordinary...
Coming from an S4... Which was flawless... I'm not happy about the signal issue and the usual fanfare of going through ridiculous steps to unlock the bootloader, get S-OFF, etc., but it seems like a decent device. Definitely a much better screen overall than the S4, not very laggy (I haven't gone to 4.2.2 just yet because I literally just started using it today but the S4 blew me away how quickly you could use it from power off to power on but the lag goes away after Sense loads) but I'm having radio issues all the way around (except the "death grip") - my GPS doesn't want to lock, mobile handshakes not only take forever but I can't get LTE with my case on, etc. And the speakers really aren't THAT impressive. The S4 is similarly loud although I heard HTC turned the volume down on a firmware upgrade because people were complaining they were too loud so who knows.
I just might have to start the damn warranty exchanges for the signal. *sigh* I see HTC's quality control has not improved over the years...

Just saw your video..and according to me this much drop is acceptable..the plastic part on this phone is meant for signals transmission..so if you block those areas..it will automatically effect the transmission..
Let's us wait for more response..

They should at least know the problems you are facing with this device!

Same bug, different phone?

Hello,
I already opened one thread some weeks ago about the wifi range issue, which I had with my old device. (C5303)
Now I got a new device (sure, also C5303), cause the old one had dead pixels on the touchscreen, I reclaimed it and the shop, where I bought it, gave me a new one.
But Im still facing the same problem like before. The wifi range is just horrible!!!
Im on the newest firmware (2.254).
For example, sometimes I like to watch some videos on youtube, before I go to sleep, but unfortunately I cannot.
I just don't get enough speed to play/load the videos, cause the wifi signal is damn weak.
I made a screen of it.
]
As you can see, the video cannot even start, cause of that low signal/speed.
Here is a pic, where u can see the distance between the router and my bed.
Is every Xperia SP facing this problem?
I also wrote an E-Mail to the sony support, but they were not able, to give me a solution, to fix that problem.
It seems, that Sony cannot fix it, so what can I do?
IT IS JUST ANNOYING!!!
1. Try other model of phone and see if the range is the same in same distance, coz u have a wall btw u and the router.
2. The problem maybe no is the phone, its the router. Try to update the router to the latest firmware :thumbup:

It cannot be the router. I tested many other devices with my network and no one of them had issues with the range.
I also tried different router settings (changing the canal and more)
So, wifi is one of the most important functions for me and like u see, it doesnt work correctly! But I paid 350€ and demand a phone, which works fine at all. Can I demand my money back and give the xperia sp back to the shop? (under warranty)

There's a WiFi fix offered in general forum, it worked for me, but as it looks like, I got from the very beginning a device with excellent WiFi Reception, good camera in dark areas and no touch issue.
Its just pure luck I guess, and a bit tweaking it.

Weird Vibration Motor

Hey Guys,
I noticed that the Xperia uses a strange vibration motor.
With all the other devices i have owned i have not had this before.
usually when you type on your keyboard and it uses vibration, it will vibrate the same way every time.
With this one i notice the vibration builds up.
so the faster you type or make it vibrate after another, it will increase in vibration strength.
do you also have this or is it just mine?
Yes it's normal.
Next time use the Q&A forum to ask your questions.

I turned all vibration except ringing off. I do not like it at all. I prefer the standard vibration other phones have. It does to that building up thing the faster you type. It's either because of poor PWM control if it even uses PWM or an underpowered motor.

Just because YOU don't like it, don't rag on it. It's standard that way, that's how it was designed to vibrate. Don't like it?

Well my Z1 is going back to Expansys over the vibration motor. Hit the back key a few times so speed builds up then if I hit any other button I get a weird scratching sound, literally like a DJ scratching some vinyl, as I can't be without a phone I've had to order a new one from Expansys!!!

Seems same than in new samsung galaxy phones. It'll even vibrate same tune than random mp3 ringtone
My first Z1 did the wind up and also was stronger when alerts came through I could feel them in my pocket. I had to exchange my handset Thursday and this feels underpowered, so I checked another unit today and it's the same as my one now. I wonder if the first so many handsets had overpowered vibration motors in them?

Hi, ended up here while searching for vibration problems with my xepria z1.
I believe the vibration is not strong enough when receiving a notification: I can barely feel it...
What is all this fuzz about vibration motor?
Really, in the office, where my phone is in vibration mode only, laying on the desk, I can't feel and I can't hear the vibration...

This isn't normal. Mine did the same thing and gave a weird noise that builds up the faster you type. I actually had another issue where the left audio channel didn't work when using headphones. So I sent it back for repair only to get a replacement unit because they couldn't fix the audio issue.
After receiving my brand new Z1 I noticed I now have a perfectly working vibration motor as well, no building up when typing fast and no weird noise. So this isn't exactly normal and I do think it is a defective or overpowered vibration motor.
I would get a replacement unit.

Mine have exactly the same problem
will try to contact Sony Center for the replacement, if they allow to replace it in my country
Sorry to being this old thread up. I was merely doing my search.
I tell ya.. this is clearly a design flaw. Either the motor or the driver - unable to give specific pulses.
You tap ten characters successively and you get 1 straight buzz all the way,.. and ya guys actually like it?
Ten taps should result in 10 distinctive vibration pulses.
One reason why I sold the XZ was this. And earlier I tested the Z1c in a shop and it had the same issue.
I've used a lot of phones before and none of them behave this way. The Sony is clearly the odd one out.

not sure what to say here, ive never come across this issue before. Reinstall your phone firmware and see if you still have this issue, im rooted on 538 firmware with no issues with the sony walkman app. If after the software reinstall you still cant hear, then you might have a hardware issue here.
it was a demo phone with demo app runnning all time so i flash it on 534 and rooted to . do you think it can be the cause

It might be but im not 100% sure.at any point was the earphones working fully? if you havent tested before you flashed 534 then it sounds like theres an issue with the headphone jack, if after testing with different earphones and still the same result then it most likely is a hardware issue.
I think is your earphones
