hi all big thank you for clicking on this thread,
after many hours of Google searching this is how i found a gem and stumbled across xda and what it has to offer ( to good to be true i am such a nobe! )
so i thought its worth a long shot and ask a some one who eats sleeps and treats there android like it there life
so i come to right my saga on this very annoying problem! in hopes that i find a fix
i have a sony c6903 i bought in pieces quite literally and after many hours of cooking chromosomes and phone surgery and losing that tiny spring as you do and a sudden development of turrets after as you know its important, i went out getting new parts ( front lcd glass rear glass sim card tray < the reset button is where that little spring is ) and way more to much to list but i bought the workings of near enough a new phone very odd but wasn't gonna let it defeat me
but any way
all seams to be fine and working well apart from the GPS on the handset
i tried to purge the gps by putting *#*#7378423#*#* in the phone dialer and purge the assistance data with out no joy i also ran a diagnostic from the setting in the phone and it says no gps found test failed,
completely baffled that something so small i guess can be a big problem ( i am talking about the phone here )
could any one please please help as i'm chucking down the gauntlet here

[q] Xperia Tx camera quick launch bug

Anybody else experiencing quick launch bug ?
I'm currently on the 212 fw and quick launch still fails to launch, similar to the Xperia s until they finally fixed it on .55

you waited approx 2 hours...let some people get home from work, or wake up before you get an answer, this is not a service centre!
no TX users on XDA or something? Or people can't take the time to help a member out with a simple question ?
If you have the TX, simply trying to open camera with dedicated camera button and see the percentage chance of it opening up.
Do not do it continuously as it will always open after the first try. Do it every here and then, maybe after the phone has entered deep sleep for 5-10 mins or so.
If your quick launch doesnt open ALL the time, 100%, then you have the quick launch bug.
Same issue happened on Xperia S, no one acknowledged it until i brought up the attention to SONY and they finally fixed it on .55.
Get your acts together man

first and foremost, i am not asking this to benefit myself. i just got this device and realized that the bug that a lot of people encountered on xperia S is also present on the xperia tx. instead of just burying that to the side, i'm actually doing something productive for all the xperia tx users by gathering a survey. if the bug is actually there, i will again bring it up to sony that the bug is present on the tx as well.
but Joonlin, what exactly are you doing here? just leeching and not contributing I would assume. given that you had the time to post a useless comment, you couldn't have answered if you have the bug or not to help out all the tx/t/v users?
who's the ****ing idiot here?
I have the same problem here, firmware 7.0A.3.197 The only solution to fix it is restart the phone. Other than that, I couldn't find any solution.

Chill down.. Btw you are the one who had to bump your thread with a useless post
Inviato dal mio LT30p con Tapatalk 2
after 5 days, 1 user reported that he has similar bug. this is the same exact situation as the xperia S. most users dont even know they have the bug. they just assume they didnt press it correctly and press it 2-3 times to activate it. sad thread for the xperia tx phone. such a beautiful phone too.
there's virtually no development for the tx and the users arent stepping up to make the phone more popular. all the tx users are just hiding in the corner. and of course, under the search your device section, if you put it in Xperia Tx, nothing would even show up.
I had this issue on my Xperia T ages ago, I cant remember which version of software, but I am pretty sure the following update fixed it. Definatly not an issue on Jelly Bean.

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?

Touchscreen problem

Hello again friends,
So,after a while of asking and comparing devices,I finally got My Z1 yesterday,but guess what?I found out that it has the touchscreen problem!I realized it after doing the test..now I dont know if it can be fixed by some software or something or if I must return it to the store and wait a loooong time till they bring me another one which will probably have the same problem |-(
What can I do?any thoughts?

I've seen a few threads about it and in all of them everybody were asking,didnt quite see a solution..I would appreciate it if you can give me a hand,if not,then Thank you anyway
Ok, some questions, On the box of your phone is write "Made in Brazil"? If you put your phone on a flat surface, wait 30 sec and try to scroll a page it will fail? When you are playing a game and the phone is hot your touch fails? If yes you have a hardware problem, ask for a replacement, i had to change my phone 3 times until find a working one, my other 2 Z1 was made in Brazil, now the working one is made in China, some people with the China one have this problem too, but is rare. The Brazilian version is having an assembly problem, causing bad contact, if this is your case change the phone.

Ok, make a try with games and see if the problem will appears, i recommend you to do the following, pick a camera and record the problem when it appears, then take to store and change the phone, BUT before you go out test if the problem will come on the new phone, that was what i did, i stayed 3 hour inside the store testing
@MakaMika Sorry to say but you can join us here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2540950
Anyway, still some chance to fix this touch screen problems with a software, a good new FW which we wait for it but I will not wait until that and I will send the phone back to the store when you bought it a tell them to fix it or replace with a new device, like I did. The phone still under warranty and should be issues free and it's not so you have the rights to send it back. Sony Service will decide if repair or replace.
3 hours???LOOL I guess i ll try the gaming test,what game do you recomand to heat up the phone quickly?

Yo eclyptos, have you checked the sony forums? one of the mods replied that a software fix that will cure our ****ty problem will be released in the next update. Cross fingers for that.
My problem occurs even when browsing pictures, swiping in the pattern lock and gaming especially Shooting games like CK2

This hardware issues can be managed via software that is why we wait for that FW. BTW we are not sure when and how and if it's hardware or software related but new FW should definitely help. They are aware about this issues and they point the FW in that way to fix it.

Me too. I try to clarified, Sony never confirmed it's a hardware problem of they touch screen. People has different Touch Screen issues, someone when touch the aluminium frame the Touch Screen start working well again, someone else don't have that but have problem scrolling pages or opening the phone with pattern even if they touch the aluminium frame or not. So here is the confusion, who have to touch the aluminium frame to let working the Touch Screen saying it's a hardware related (kind of wrong phone sealing) and others who have the problem even when touching the aluminium frame or not saying it's a software related. Many said also after the update to 4.3 the touch screen get worse, like mine. Now do you understand the confusion? Many send the phones back via warranty, many waiting for a FW pointed to fix this issues. Developers are aware about this Touch Screen problem so they try to fix it, even if seems hardware related, with the release of the new updated FW .114, .124 or 136, who know?
Yes,I get you.mine works well when touching the aluminum frame.I guess after all i should return it,didnt even enjoy the few days of having it
Are you sure that a hardware problem can be solved with software update? I mean, i know that software can turn around some issues, but this is not certain

Exactly, we don't know this yet. We have to wait for a new FW pointed to fix this problem. If they do it's a software issue.

You definitely should send it back. The FW I think it's the last chance.

[Q] questions before (maybe) buying this phone

hi guys I am thinking in getting this phone. but would like to be sure about three things before getting it... hope you can help
1. my old xperia (T) was available in two versions: one that couldn't be unlocked (carriers version), and the other one free to unlock. z3c is the same? I have to be sure I'm getting a unlockable version or all are unlockable?
2. self-cracks: it seem it affects few units, btw getting a new phone risks should be minimum? I mean new series of the phone are surely cracks-free, or even recent phone can cracks by theirself?
3. one thing I do pretty often is switching from 2g only to 3g and viceversa: is there a way to add this kind of toggle in stock quicksettings? maybe with xperia xposed by @serajr ? (I see possibility to add "New Network Mode button" in his thread). if so, can you maybe post a screen of the toggle after adding it with that module?
TIA bye!

Hi buddy!! Glad to know you're about to buy it!
1. It's up to your region/carrier, but if I were you I'd prefer unlockable ones (obviously)
2. I've never faced cracks issues, and my device already dropped down on the floor twice (oh fu**) and neither scratches it has (I don't use covers/bumpers, but front/rear tempered glass protectors)
3. Yep... easily!!
That's it... have a great buy
