I threw it in Sony's face today...hope i get it back soon.....!! till then i have to manage wirh a Lumia 710!!

What a weird coincidence I have just switched from an 710
To the point
My device does sometimes get a bit hot especially if more than a few wireless connectivity options are on.
This usually results in apps not running properly
If anyone else is having this problem
Accses what they will check first which is the sony factory service menu which can be accessed by putting *#*#7378423#*#* into the dial on the call app. Once in go to service test and go to test battery health this will indicate if there is a fault with the battery
And other options can indicate hardware faults that may cause this.
Other than that it sounds like Sony have had a miss on yours instead of a hit so yeh give it back
Hope this helped

Yea Thanks for the Tip!
BTW i already Sent it into Sony Service Last Saturday! still didn't get any news on my Phone! If i get the option between a Refund and a Replacement, I would definately get a Refund! I would get myself a Nexus 4 or something.
The thing with your phone is (i think) quite normal but mine heats up and the Battery just goes DOWNHILL!!
Hope i get a Solution!! Living off a Lumia 710 again now....thank god i didnt sell it or something! :good:

Your unit may be defective. But if you think you're going to avoid the heating problem with a Nexus 4... mate, I think you are wrong. The Nexus 4 has a well-known problem among users called "throttle" that our Xperia SP doesn't have (at least not mine)

Done!
Hello People,
I got my Phone back from Sony and now it's really cool....but it just warms up a bit when it's GPU is used alot..!!

Hahaha, you're correct.
That is the NFC antenna he removed.
Anyway, back on topic...
If you want your phone to stay cool, you will need to flash a different kernel and ROM.
Only then are you able to tweak your phone so it doesn't overheat again.
Downside is that you lost your warranty. Ah well, if it's broken, buy another phone.
Another thing, "extended warranty" is a joke. Never trust sales people that tell you to buy this extra package.
They will look for any excuse not to pay you if something bad happens to your phone.

OMFG xD well we never know with sony that's my excuse unf.. xD

Um.. bought a second hand unit, i think i need help.

Hi guys of xda!! I am jumping off from Symbian OS to Android! Bought myself a second-hand One for 300$ and I love the build quality, Boom Sound and all that!
However, it appears that I have been somewhat cheated by the previous owner, he's told me that it has a remainder of 3 month warranty left with HTC, but it expires next month. :X So I kinda have to look around my phone to see if there are any issues that I can highlight on when I send it (please do tell me if the problems I am about to mention are worth sending to HTC and leave me without a working phone for weeks)
Current issues I am encountering are:
1) It LAGS when playing games, watching Youtube and using the Facebook app, I am unsure if this is normal, but from what I see on the reviews, it should be close to buttery smooth, right? Come on, I didn't think the frame rate would drop to (roughly 20 fps?) on Jetpack Joyride! It just keeps stuttering! D:
2) I have triple checked with the previous owner on the rear camera issue on whether it'd have the tint problems, he had informed me that he had already gotten it fixed, which I believe it is. HOWEVER it did not occur to me to check the front-facing camera.. here's how the front-facing camera looks like (please forgive me if I am violating any image size limit on this forums. :\).

It is WAY worse in lower-light, really, really RED. Tried Googling about, not much complaints on the red tint on the FRONT camera, should I get it fixed with HTC? Tried fiddling with the settings, doesn't change much, red tints are still present, is that normal?
3) Err, don't think there's any more other than the issues highlighted above, could you please suggest me to check on any common issues that I might have left out? So that I may request for a warranty-covered repair.
P/S: The lags and red tints are present no matter the phone's temperature, I've tried it in both coldness and warmth.
I have not attempted on rooting the phone or anything at all, here are the versions:
Android 4.4.2
HTC Sense 5.5
Software Number 4.20.707.6
HTC SDK API level 5.69
Kernel Ver. 3.4.10-g499e571
[email protected] #1 (uhhh HELP! is this phone rooted? Because I see the word root in the kernel! Just noticed this omgomg)
Baseband version 4A.23.3263.28_10.38r.1157.04L
Browser version Webkit/534.30

Also to note: When I booted this phone for the first time, there was a welcome page to set up and things, and the camera image count was from 0001, but it came with an extra app called Wechat (it's a popular Whatsapp alternative here in Malaysia) I am unsure if the phone has been factory reset before it was handed to me, because if it was, I don't think resetting it again would help much, right?
Thank you so much for your time! Would really appreciate any help I could get! :laugh:

You can try to factory reset the phone and see if the lag is still there. Both my htc ones have red front camera in low light. You can't tell if your phone is rooted that way. My phone is also not rooted and shows [email protected] Check if there is supersu app installed, if there is that means its rooted

hello snoopy! May I ask if there is a way for me to backup my apps and settings into my laptop before I attempt a factory reset? Would HTC Sync be enough? I do not see any supersu app installed. Thank you!
About the red tint issue, I have actually compared this with my friend's HTC One as well, real time, his did not have any form of red tint whatsoever.. kinda worries me.

Use HTC Backup. Just do a backup before you factory reset, then when you're setting up the phone again, just choose the "restore from a backup" instead of starting fresh.
The red tint issue is just really random and you either have it or not. There really is nothing you can do about it other than talk with HTC and get a replacement.

I'm back, done the factory reset and attempted to play a game of Jetpack Joyride (no idea of other game I could test on) before restoring, still the same performance issues, stutters every five seconds or so, hard to not notice, is this normal?

Try a different ROM maybe? All HTC ones should perform almost exactly the same.

sorry, i think this is a stupid question, but wouldn't changing ROM be considered as rooting? or requiring a root? That would ultimately void the warranty right?

That's a tricky question. If your phone has a hardware defect, I don't think HTC can legally get out of honoring the warranty (but I'm not sure). The problem is, if you've rooted, it will be much harder for you to argue that it definitely is a hardware defect. I would have it serviced if you can get warranty service. And BTW, on my phone (rooted, custom ROM), Jetpack Joyride has occasional frames of lag (mostly in the beginning of the level), but gameplay seems smooth after that.

You can always relock the bootloader and remove all traces of you rooting it. (S off).
As the other guy said, if there really is a problem, I would get it replaced now.

will lollipop update ( or this method) reset knox???

im dealing with tmobile going through a warranty exchange process because the accelerometer/ gyro is off. ive tested 3 different phones all with the same issue. all apps using the gyro/accel drift off to the left. im sure these phones are all from different batches because the original i bought in store, the second sent from tmobile seemed brand new all wrapped up in the protective stickers , and the 3rd was sent the same way with out all the protective stickers and ****. im at my wits end with a brand new 700 dollar phone. obviously im a bit ocd with these types of things. if im paying a PREMIUM price for a premium object, i expect premium quality control standards. cant imagine they all have the same exact same hardware issue.
my main question is , when the 5.0 update drops for tmobile will it reset the knox counter? ill update via kies. never installed a custom rom. just root and recovery. just need to know in case the update doesnt fix the issue like they said. they tech advised me that if its tripped and samsung tells them so, it will cost me over 400$. and i cant afford that. any one know for sure? also will the method in this thread work on the note 4? or is there a version that will. if it does reset knox i will not root it until my warranty is up. ( at the time i didnt know reflashing stock firmware wouldnt clear it. it always had before.) thanks in advance.

Don't ask the tech stuff like that

i didnt he told me amidst our conversation... why would you even post? unless you have information or something of value just save it. your post is completely point less

You can't reset Knox.
It doesn't matter. They don't check.
Just Odin to stock + factory reset.

When i send my note 3 for a warranty thing, they rejected it because i had tripped the Knox flag

I had rooted my note 4 put lots of custom roms. I just factory reset, did a warranty exchange and I didn't get charged from tmobile.

does any one know why i cant edit my system files? i have root. i found the calibration file opened and edited it in text but it wont save. can tell what file type it is either. ( i know that would help).

Never in 8 years have I been charged for that. Tmobile uses an outside company to refurbish phones and they don't check either. First test they do is power on. If it does they flash the last update and see if it works if it does they hook it up to a pc and it runs other test if they pass it gets check for damage and sent back to someone as refurbished. Ur free to do as u will but anyone who says Tmobile checks is such a damn liar.

tried it with ES file explorer, root explorer(Rom toolbox) and advance tools editor no luck.
that file opens and the default values are -2,0,0,0. trying to change the -2 to 0 and see if that works. because coincidentally its off by about 2 degrees

Samsung is permanently crippling the Note 7 in the U.S.

You knew it was coming in the USA and it looks like December 19 is the day.

When you reboot the device it will do the updates on one of the reboots.This is true even if you "delayed" the update.
There is a way to prevent the previous update (you can see on this forum). Unless they found a way around that work around good chances that the same work around would work for this update. I would recommend doing the work around now and before this update.
The work around for previous update. Hope this will work for this update too.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-note-7/how-to/updated-limited-to-60-heres-fix-t3495293

I read someplace today that Samsung made a request to the makers of all package disablers on the Playstore to block the Note 7 from being able to take advantage of this... I'll try and find the article.

The one i found isnt supported by the playstore and still has the update packages. Look at the link JaguarXT posted

I highly doubt all the apps are getting on board. I used titanium to block a lot of samsung crap before this and I never got the last update and I won't get this update either.

According to what I read, T-Mobile will be pushing the update on December 27th, that's what CNET is reporting. It also mentions the dates for AT&T as well as Sprint.

Yep I got text from tmobile says starting 27 phone won't be able to charge so turn it in.

Looking like it's time to find a replacement, sadly nothing seems up to par

It will seem like a bold change from what I know and am used to but I'm considering the Honor 8. The specs don't seem to bad for the price point. But it's definitely not a Note 7. I was thinking about going back to the Note 5 but I don't even see it available on the T-Mobile website anymore.

That's because you had the good foresight to root, unlike some of us (pointing at myself). Samsung strong-armed all the package disabler devs on the Play Store to no longer block System apps! The way around it was then to purchase the new version anyway and obtain a license, uninstall, then side load an older version. But then in another update even that route was blocked by no longer granting licenses or something. Then someone provided another app independent of the Play Store to side load which is what is being referred to above. It's gotten nasty!!!! Our ranks will shrink further as those who are severely technically challenged fail to take measures to block this update. Personally, I can't help but wonder/worry if Sammy has some type of back door, but that's the conspiracy theorist in me, lol!

I agree and I will probably change to the cheapest samsung phone to get my $100 and then switch out and use my One Plus 3 till the S8 comes out.
Gotta use my Samsung Rewards up as well... This really sux

I caved last night, I picked up the s7 edge. I'm still keeping the Note 7 though and I'll use it until I'm no longer able to.

Why? You should have just kept the Note7 until the S8 came out... now you have an obsolete phone in 3 months.

I still have the Note 7, the s7 edge worked out in my favor actually. They gave me a Gear VR and now when the next phone drops I'll give my wife the s7 edge. She still has an S5 so it will be a nice upgrade for her.

I'm lost dude. So I have the second version of the Note 7, you know, the one that was supposed to not malfunction. Model # SM-N930T with T-Mobile. OK, so my phone did receive the forced update that make my battery charge to only 60%, I was able to use ODIN and put back the stock firmware, I installed PACKAGE DISABLER PRO and blocked the necessary items needed so I am now at 100% battery life. How is it that we know that is still not enough to block this new update that is coming to cripple the Note 7??? Maybe we are still safe, or is it FACT that it WILL still be forced even though we have the updates and tmobile and Samsung items blocked? Also, with what I have explained, can my phone still be rooted and install a custom ROM or am I too late or second version of Note 7 it was never possible???? Someone please help, I am not a noob, I have been installing custom ROMs since Galaxy S2, but at the same time I am no PRO. All info will help me and the community clarify this sticky situation. PLEASE HELP. AND THANK YOU ALL!!!!! Nothing compares to the Note 7, what other phone has IRIS EYE SCANNER, a SECURE FOLDER LOCK that you can add a secondary app of one you already have with a completely different account, you can lock your notes in SAMSUNG NOTES, an S PEN, A FREAK'N S-PEN for crying out loud!!!!! No Phone compares to this dude!!!!!! HELP HELP HELP HELP!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not 100% sure but the steps with package disabler that you've done should allow you to not have to worry about the new update coming through, someone correct me if I'm wrong.
As for rooting you're out of luck, only the original firmware that shipped with the phone was rootable. After that, this is as good as it gets for us firmware wise

Thnx

App crashes and reboots

Anyone had apps crash / close not responding or phone reboots ?
Installed stability patch that was released but still getting reboots of os and app crashes.

Nope no problems here, everything runs clean and smooth. Maybe you should hard reset?

No issues here

No issues...

Lorditler. I'm no troll buddy. Sadly my Nokia 8 is going back. Crashes, reboots, smart lock doesn't work period.
I'm pretty gutted about it not being 100% from the get go.

I've had the odd app crash and reboot, I've got one more week to decide if I'm keeping it. Only thing is, I'm not sure there's anything else around that's going to be pure android with these specs for the same price. Pixel 2 is interesting, but likely to be £700+...

You sound like your exactly where I'm at smudger40. My phone arrived last wed so under DSR I've got a fortnight. After a fortnight I'm stuck with it for the next 2 years.
I'm after a near stock / totally stock android phone which leaves the pixel.
But like you I'm watching what price it is released at and with the fruity firm releasing a £1150 handset, what's not to say the pixel 2 hasn't suddenly gone up even more.
Like yourself I suspect it's going to be around £750 ish.
Which makes the Nokia a real bargain. My Nokia is going back so I'm covered under DSR and im just going to sit on the fence and see what pixel 2 looks like come oct.
And at that point i maybe re-order the nokia and hope I get a better one than the one I'm returning.
As for the X phone... I think this will open the flood gates to 3 year phone contracts to make the phone contract affordable or people are going to have to put 300-400 towards the handset cost.

I've had random reboots. Also issues with phone app and alarm. Phone app is being silent and unresponsive, alarm is just silent.

No issues here at all. Maybe try a factory reset and run with bare minimum a day or 2.
If it still happens it could very well be issues specific to your phone and you should be able to return it and get it either replaced or repaired.
My phone version is... Read below ?

Running a flagship phone with bare minimum? That makes no sense.
I have random reboots, phone app crashes on incoming calls, apps lag heavily, phone gets stuck in landscape mode.
Even the original ZTE Blade had better software than this. This is my first Nokia phone in 17 years and I will probably never get another one.

The very least you can do is to factory reset and some basic trial and error... If the service workshop factory reset it and can't find issues they basically end up claiming you caused the problems. Gathering some proof makes them look like the idiot instead.
It could very well be hardware related since mine works perfectly. **** happens. No brand has 100% flawless phones.
Avoid Nokia if you must... But then avoid Samsung due to Note 7 aka Firestarter, Sony due to random reboots on my Z5 premium (that they fixed later), Apple due to critically flawed updates... The list can go rather large if you really put some time on finding reasons to avoid something.

A interesting question... All with issues is that TA-1012? Mine is TA-1004. Only issue I've seen is that I had Data Saver function enabled a few times automatically.

No, I'm on TA1012 with no problems.

Already am avoiding all brands you mentioned.

I really like the Nokia 8. Just what I really wanted but, mines not been right from the first day. However, having seen pics that were leaked last night of the pixel 2, I think that looks a proper minger. Then there's leaks of the Nokia 9 appearing every where.
Sitting this one out till Nov when either I go Nokia 8/9 or minger phone (pixel 2 XL) depending on how stupidly it is priced

I have exactly the same issues, with the phone app crashing and alarm is silent sometimes, have you found a solution to your problem?

As others have not had this issue I've returned my handset to carrier. Awaiting a replacement bud
