Background lighting defect after rom update

Hello Community,
I have actually just a short question. I have got an offering for touch HD for only 150€. The owner says the functionality is still given but after a ROM Update the background keeps black so it seems the lighting broke after the ROM update. However what I would like to know is, if this can happen and if there is any chance to get that fixed with less effort.
Or is this just a bad try of the seller to get my money
Thx for your help

Iv never hued of this happening, but i could be rong
i would put it down to the seller just trying to get money and the blacklight was broken in some way

ROM update shouldn't cause this, sounds more like a digitizer/main board issue.

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.

Fluid in screen transitions

Hi,
Yesterday I get my LG G Watch R! But I'm not happy with that...
I'm testing it and when I open Wear mini launcher the transition animation to open the launcher screen is not going fluid! Is like the watch have lag...
Somebody feel that in their smartwatch?
I will try to update video this night!
Thank you all!

Here is a video of the problem!

That is the normal operation in this moment.
Maybe future implementations will correct that.
In case you will use watchmaker for example, that lag is 3x longer ... it's like the time will freeze for a while .

Thank you ro_explorer for the fast reply!
I was talking with LG support and told me that is not normal! That a fail of watch so must be replaced!

sadly, it is normal - but hopefully not for long
you can try to switch to one of the Android Wear default faces (not the LG ones, try Simple)
there the delay should be virtually nonexistend
and have a look at this - its really bad on watchmaker, but i like the app so much that I'm putting up with it

Happen the same issue with Android Wear mini launcher?

Then every lg g watch r has this lag?
Somebody more could confirm that please?

mine has that delay

This can be adjusted to be made a little better by changing the transition speed, I am working on a mod right now to attempt to fix this.

Tonu anyway Im not sure that is a software problem, Lg told me that is hardware problem!!!

there are 4 users reporting that the lag is a known software-related problem
if you don't want to believe us, just send you watch in for repair and be done with it - and please report back when you get the exact same behaviour on your new model

Ok 2k4ever I will report back!
But think about it, If I show a video about the problem to LG and they told me that is a hardware problem... and only saw a little number of users with that problem, I could think that the problem is hardware....
Then u mean that everybody have the last software version and only 4 users report that the lag is a known software? Something is wrong here....

I get this lag too with a custom whatchmaker whatchface.

I have finals all next week so I am very busy with that. I already know what file i need to change and how to change it. I went digging in the moto 360 forums and they have the commands there. I will get back to this after my exams.
Sent from my Nexus 7. Pardon crap English.

Thanks for the good news Tony. Hopefully it ends up working out.

I must say that today I recieve other LG G Watch R and this work really good!
Don't have lag like in the first watch
So if u have lag problems like video, share it with LG and then change ur watch for another one
Thank you all for the support!

About mini launcer...after install apps sometimes it become lagger...factory restart watch and often the problem will be solved (tryed now and for me works)
About facemaker dont know (i use facer).
Alex

I have the impression that any non-standard thingy creats trouble. If I charge overnight with a custom watchface, I have to reboot to get cards. With a standard face, never any problems. Weird...

Download Package Disabler Pro + (Samsung). I think it was $1.99, but it's worth having. Once installed, search "Update" and check the second Software Update from the list.

Yeah that's pretty much the only way to get rid of it for good. Mine is now to the point where it's no longer giving me the option to select "Later." Lol. I just hit the back button and it goes away, then I set it to ignore for 2 hours in notification panel. Why the heck is that the only option Google?!

I should've held off updating since I'm not sure if the night / low light shots being yellow/warm is from the update.

Phantom notification

On Pie and November update sideloaded. Using Nova launcher
Have started getting phantom notifications. The phone vibrated, lock screen lights up but nothing there.
Have done a reset as always do after update.
Any ideas?

"This kind of behaviour".....the type of behaviour standard in Pie you mean? It's not a bug just a stupid place to put the settings.
And as for the serious problem! How was it serious where the latest update is 1:1 identical to the one I sideloaded and some people got as standard??????

Ask Nokia then, i only got the service update, so something is going on there. They have pulled the update because problems, now they are sending it again wich have no sense at all and now they are sending also another update only with security update. I don't know. Happy anyway that is not a bug!

I've stopped trying to work out what they are doing. Shame really as it's a good phone. Unless they sort this update stupidity this will be my last Nokia.

You are right. It makes no sense what they do with the updates. Being late, I can understand that, but having 3 different versions of updates for the same phone is crazy (it is kind of the same thing of what they do with the phones versioning numbers: 7, 7+, 7.1, 7x and now 8 which is actually 8.1 - mad)
Anyway it looks like their focus is on releasing more phones than optimize the released ones. I think in the 2 years they were banned from releasing phones after the transfer from Microsoft, they developed the phones and they are releasing them now every 2nd month.
Sorry for the long post, I had to let out some of the steam.

Seems a common feeling with most Nokia users.
Something that baffles me is that the media such as android authority and others keep praising the company and recommending them as superb phones. That bit is true but nobody seems to be picking up that it's not really Android One without regular updates.
Anyway, I'm ranting now. Maybe we need a ranting thread. :silly:

That is s great idea!
I think we all feel a little bit cheated. Thinking at it though, it is only the Pixels and Essential phone (don't think OnePlus has it) that have November security patch.
And the phone is a very good one (hardware at least).
This is it. All steam is out.
