[Q] problem with Xperia z - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all, I recently did OTA upgrade of my XL from 4.1.2 to 4.2 and then to 4.3
When I upgraded to 4.2, I noticed that the display started to appear 'Shaky' kind of vibrate on some part of the display and I also noticed that developer option is no longer in the menu and the screenshot option on the power isnt there, and rhe NFC seems not to be working + there on no NFC in the send option wjen sending things out no beam either then I tried to upgrade to 4.3 if that fixes it but same. Anyone experienced these and is there any Fix? I doubt I want to updrading to 4.4

[Q] HTC One top touchscreen problem - Bug or Hardware fault?

Hey,
I have an HTC One black - stock os - UK unlocked version - after 4.2.2 update.
I've got a strange problem regarding the top of the touchscreen. when the phone is horizontal, the top bit (between the top bar to the first widget) is not working. the rest of the screen working fine. when I pick the device up, the screen is working fine 70% of the time. as a result, I cant open the notification bar and it thinks that I'm clicking or re-arranging my widgets.
It's weird because IT DOES work 60% of the time.
1. did any of you experienced any of this before?
2. What do you think it is? software or I have to replace the digitizer?
3. Is it just calibration problem? I tried to calibrate the device using the keyboard screen calibration and it didn't do anything.
Thanks!
Eran.

Bump for more responses
I
I just started experiencing this same problem today as well. I was on a Google Edition 4.3 Rom for about 2 days, Viper 3.2 I believe and everything was initially working as it should. Suddenly I began experiencing the non responsive status bar. I cleared data & cache, fixed permissions, and even tried a factory reset with no luck. I then reinstalled the Rom and the problem persisted. I then downloaded and installed black jelly Rom along with a complete wipe of the entire storage after transferring important data to my PC, but the status bar was still unresponsive and it appeared the top 1/4 inch of display had a digitizer issue. I tried to restore an older backup of Venom Rom running Sense and I still had no luck, until I went into the browser so that I could rotate into landscape to see if I could access it from this orientation (don't know why that didn't cross my mind sooner?) After I pulled the notification shade in landscape I left it down and rotated back into portrait mode and drew the shade back up slowly, following through with the gesture all the way to the top of the display. Then the functionality from portrait was restored! I believe this is a software bug of some sort, but I'm contemplating returning it to stock and relocking the bootloader to return it. I'm actually using the Tmobile variant and it's only about 30 days old. My insurance will cover a replacement for a faulty unit, but who knows if will happen with another? After a Google search I discovered this was an issue that surfaced with quite a few One X's as well, so I'm thinking it may be a bug that's consistent with some HTC hardware of a different variants? Any updates or insight would be appreciated.

HTC One - Vibration stopped working after 4.4 kitkat update

Hi,
I have an HTC One (m7) international version, and after 4.4 kitkat update, it slowly lost it's vibration and heptic feedback function until it completely stopped this weekend, even with power save mode turned off, and all the configurations properly set.
I've tried returning to my latest 4.3 jellybean nandroid backup from Dec-23, but the problem still ocurred.
After that, I've restored the 4.4 kitkat nandroid backup I've made this morning, and installed the "Vibrate Plus" app from the play store. After playing with it for a few minutes without any success, I've realized that the vibration function only works, with the phone screen facing down. As soon as I lift the phone from the table or turn it up in my hand, it stops vibrating.
If, instead of the "Pattern Vibration" function, I choose the "Simple Vibration", which keeps the phone vibrating constantly, I have a few seconds of vibration with the screen facing up, after lifting the phone from the table, until it stops working again.
---
I've found this single thread (URL = www (dot) htconeforum (dot) com /forum/htc-one-help/2341-vibrate-function-has-stopped-new-htc-one-m7.html) (can't post the URL here) where a guy has the same problem I have and had his phone replaced by HTC; but since Brazil does not have official HTC assistance, I probably am going to have it fixed myself, just as I did with my former HTC One X and it's GPS issue.
The problem is, I can't seem to find any other report from this same problem, other than this thread, and I also am having a hard time finding detailed instructions on how to open this phone for servicing, so, any help regarding any of these is really welcome.
Thank you very much, in advance.

Don't know why I pressed thanks button instead of quote. Ignore it..
Coming to the issue, did you the Trickster mod? You could set the vibration intensity there.. Install from Playstore.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Hi,
I've downloaded the trickster mod, and set up the vibration intensity to 3100 (max).
With this new setting, the problem seems to be fading away... yesterday, the vibration function failed to work only twice, and today, it has worked fine the entire day.
I cannot think of a reasonable explanation for this, I really tought it was a hardware problem, but it seems to be working a lot better now.
Thank you very much!!!

I guess it's still better to check with service center once, you never know it could be a hardware problem and you might get a replacement for this

Is it still working? Have the same problem here, but the trickster mod doesn't help!

After the vibration issue was solved, the earpiece became mute at random times during calls so I gave up from KitKat... too much trouble, not so much attractive new features.
I'm back with ARHD 31.0, Jellybean 4.3... it's perfect.
This version works fine for me.
After all the problems I've had, I think I'll never try to update my phone again, unless there's some sort of "killer feature" in the new version.
Good luck!

Screens turn off by itself using Facebook

Hi guys.
My mother's XSP have some problem after updating to 4.3
Like before, there wasn't a single problem with screen when she was on 4.1, after updating it to 4.3 and screen can turn it off by itself without notification. Just turn off and that's all. She have to wait few seconds in order to make XSP respond to power button and turn on the screen.
Mostly this happen when using Facebook App, yes she's using Xperia with Facebook and Facebook messenger.
Apps are up to date, I've already try factory reset aka wipe data. Still problem occurs.
Anyone with the same problem or an idea how to fix it ?
Like I'm having same set up on my XL with 4.2.2 and no problem.
I don't know if that will help buyt she's using stock 4.3, her model is C5303 and her customization number is: 1273-0060.
Yes she have branded phone.
I think that might be a motherboard issue, Take it to a service center
I don't think so thats the motherboard issue, that didn't happen on 4.1.
Downgrade to 4.1.2. 4.3 got some RAM management issues
Typical for Sony, release a firmware with bugs.
Don't know how but need to get 4.1 with Vodafone Branding.

Ringtones issue with Lollipop

Quick background, I took the official lollipop update on the 2014 moto x pure edition, performed a factory reset to make sure i would have any fc
question:
ever since the update, whenever i select a a ringtone, the volume starts off really low the first time, and then gets louder. anybody else having this issue?
update: looks like when the phone rings, the ringtone volume starts of low, and then ramps up. is this a setting that i can turn off? or is it a bug? or a feature?
i'm experiencing the same behavior, however, it was happening on my device with KK as well. been exploring for an increasing ringtone option but haven't found it. also trying to figure out why i'm not seeing heads-up notifications for new email, text msgs, etc.
Basically it is a "feature" I believe, Samsung S3 had the same thing. There maybe an app available to change this or if you are rooted there might be a way to change the setting via exposed (although I don't know if it has been updated yet for lollipop or possibly look at the build.prop file though if you don't know what your doing with that, I wouldn't touch it as you can foobar your phone messing around with it.... If it was me, I would post it in the dev thread and see if one of the dev's have the answer. Or check Google, in the short search I did, apparently Moto G 2013 had this "feature" also.....
^^^ahhhh.... the 'ole "undocumented feature" (that's not a bug)...
if the rest of you are experiencing it, then i guess its a feature.... i guess i wanted to see if i set something up incorrectly or it was indeed a feature... .
It does this on kk. Didn't you notice it then?

I don't recall this on kk. I'm sure that this was not happening in kk for me.
Definitely doesn't / didn't do it on kit Kat for me either. Does it now though..

[Q] HTC M7 Notification ight gone after 5.0.1 Coversion

Anyone else having an issue with the Notification LED not working after 5.0.1 conversion?
It worked fine when I converted it to 4.4.3 before, so I was wondering if it is a general issue with 5.0.1 or just my phone.
Thanks!
