can u explain what bugs is always appear.gonna try unlocked bootloader

noticeable bugs from different types of AOSP roms:

1. battery drain (due to phone not going into deep sleep)
--- either due to kernel not stable or some system file is not sleeping, or gpu kept running

2. random hotboot
--- noticeable on PA-based roms

3. tethering bug
--- depends on your luck, some rom has it, some rom dont..
and at the same time, sometimes the roms that dont, will have it on a buggy version

4. sometimes you might not be able to copy files from anywhere to ext_sdcard (4.3 onwards)
they will show some type of error of "not enough space"

thats all i could think off..


---
and no reason for you to unlock bootloader actually..
the only reason you wanna unlock bootloader is so that you are able to flash a custom kernel, so you can use AOSP roms..

but with xposed, you can PORT aosp/aokp/pa features using gravitybox, xblast, appsetting module
seriously no point to unlock liao

summore unlocking kills your DRM keys/bravia engine 2, not to mention you have to use AOSP camera (its not for human to use wan )
- but you can backup lah, with TA partition.

Anybody took off the front shatter proof sheet? What's the noticeable difference, and does it void the warranty?

no i didnt..

even if you apply screen protector over it, you wont feel any problems with the sensitivity

2 things only if u take it out

- no longer shatter proof
- "SONY" logo is gone. (lolz)

I have pull out mine, you can see image on previous post. About the warranty i dont know. lol.

any accesories inside the box??

just standard

1. cable
2. headset
3. guidebook
4. phone
5. charger

no memory card

Unfortunate luck happen to me last week on my trip in krabi last week when i slip and fall in the boat floor during island hopping and i was holding my XZ and resulted a crack screen. After all the so called SHATTER PROOF doesn't proof anything the screen still cracked if it caught with impact. I put another layer or shattered proof film instead of original one. Now it's burn my pocket of RM600 to replace the crack screen.

thats bad. :\

but since the Z is still a good phone.. i guess its worth the repair price..
just make sure its still waterproof after that..

Yes, since i love my XZ very much i still proceed with the repair. With waterproof im still in doubt if it still can hold that features after the repair.

when you get the phone back from sony...
make them test it infront of you..

if you bring home and test later they deny everything. lolz.

just to be on the safe side lah

demand that you want them to test.. with the device on and its in the water for at least 2-3 minutes.. more than enough time for the water to "enter" if there's any holes..

Certainly do. Thanks for the advice
hope can get everything ok again. finger crossed. i miss my Z so much

err... actually the shatter proof sheet is just to prevent the shattered glass pieces from falling out and cutting anyone when the screen cracked. it does not prevent the screen from cracking due to fall.

ohhh so i have a wrong understanding. now i get it.
so no point of having multiple layered of SP. Just take a good care of your baby instead

SP might help to absorb some impact but sure it cant prevent the glass from crack...
BTW ur glass crack or lcd oso crack??
but u r so unlucky,some purposely throw/drop on the floor oso no problem...

the lcd still ok because i still can see the screen but the phone had lost touch sensor.
i believe i have put strong impact to the phone when i fall while the phone is on my hand and cause the glass crack.

Is your phone able to switch on? Make sure you do a backup of ur data..

In case they "need to format"..

yes can. but i dont know how to do the backup without touching the screen as the touch sensor is compromised.

Couldn't find any image... which page ah? Thanks

Any regrets on taking out the sheet?

Are you rooted? And did you enable USB DEBUGGING? if you have.. can pull using windows command line.

No need touch the screen..
