worked in phone line before.
and yes some customers can ask very very annoying questions..

and all they want is quickly get the phone back while claiming warranty.. thats why i always push them go directly to service center.. when they go argue back and say "you just dont wanna take the responsibility, dont you?"

i tembak them "no sir, its not that.. if you want to get your phone back ASAP. its best to send it directly to service center. if you send it through here, we'll have to wait for the dispatch team to come over once every few days. that is why it takes 1-2 weeks to get your phone back"


summore got 1 time, 1 customer even asked me if there's an app to weight something. lol?
example: put a box on top of the phone screen and it will tell you how many grams/kg it is..

did you dropped it into the water or something? were the paper slip under the flaps pink?

just figured out a way to get your personal files through command prompt in case your stock rom screws up and unable to boot but do not want to reflash via flashtools (at the same time wiping) and losing personal data..

should i write the guide out? if anyone's interested or maybe OP can pin it to first page..

however, requirements are:

1. rooted
2. have custom CWM
3. USB debugging enabled in Developer options
4. phone must be able to access recovery mode (custom)

dont think u have to sell it first..

play around, most likely you havent configured it properly, let everything sync, etc..

most likely 4.2.2 but a different version (like .423, .244, .67, etc)
mostly its still .67

mine is loose but can still cover it.
so far no noticable wear and tear..

what kinda notification do you mean?
sms tones?

to access them you need root access and a root explorer... /system/media/audio/notifications/

any of u guys having random reboots on firmware .67?

okay. must be a buggy app.. will slowly uninstall the last thing i installed until it doesnt happen again..

thanks

hmmm i dont have that problem for 2-3 weeks after relocking BL and went back to stock rom (pure stock) but with root lah..

until few days ago when i installed a few apps at once, so i dunno which app is causing it
just re-installed 1 app, see if it'll happen again.

most likely bad area..

i also.. no worries..
but i got scared shiat-less when i first kena tho..

cuz my previous phone also suddenly die due to suddenly no connection
totally becomes an "X" icon on the network signals..

errrghhhh..

sony is becoming like samsung adi? same design, different specs. :\

i hope sony wont be like this.. if not they're just like the others.. (tho every company's main goal is to earn money only)

you mean .67?

mine is fine.. if you are rooted use greenify to hibernate the apps..
then configure the settings properly (not greenify settings.. your other settings like sync, etc)

unplugged at 5am yesterday at 98%, wifi off. woke up at 11am, still 98%
after 7 hours..

Yea kinda satisfied with it.

i think there are apps..

just search on the play store " small apps for sony" or "small apps"

just get the .apk

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1774336

to test if it works: go to youtube.com (make sure you dont set to launch it in the browser by default)
, play any video.. if you're able to play.. it works

are you rooted?

if you are maybe you can manually backup the folder instead

or you can go with titanium backup (which also requires root)

im not sure but as long as you dont unlock the bootloader.. your warranty wont be voided..

about root.. as long as you're able to flash the rom back to full stock.. you'll be fine.

make sure you install xposed and try out the modules!!

good modules for the xperia z:

1. long press toggles to bring to their respective settings page (eliminates the need to flash custom stock rom for that feature)
2. gxmod (flashlight as a toggle..but you gotta swap one of the toggles you dont use for that)
3. gravitybox module (ported most of the AOSP features - pie, CRT effect, clock settings, etc)
4. semc patch (disables that annoying "you have disabled your data" notification)
5. app setting module (per app dpi.. paranoid android's feature)
6. advanced power menu (bring's reboot menu into stock rom)
7. xuimod (bring's in listview.. animation that was from AOSP roms)
8. others if you wish to try, you can download from the xposed app itself, it has a download section for more modules.

basically you no need to even think about flashing custom roms/unlock bootloader anymore. just your rooted stock. you can have what custom roms used to offer

most importantly = battery life is NOT affected
my xperia z is still able to sleep properly when it should..

you need to activate the module first..

1. install
2. open app
3. go to framework tab
4. click that "install" button or something
5. it should turn from red to green
6. after that reboot

7. go to xposed app, download tab, search for the modules you want to try

to activate the module, you have to reboot tho. after that you wont have to (unless necessary)
cuz some mods no matter how you change, it still needs to reboot to take affect

Settings -> Xperia™ -> Internet Settings -> Download

you should get back your proper APN settings..

its okay.. at least now you learn something new..

but not sure if this is just limited to xperia only or not.. cuz i dont see these back when i was using touchwiz

Refer few posts back for the recommended modules for our xperia Z

even apps installed on the playstore?

hmm, this is weird but could be a good feature..

for me when i reset i would prefer to start fresh, cuz sometimes some apps are keeping the phone awake and its kinda hard to find which one is it

but so far im satisfied with sony's rom.. even more "vanilla" than those AOSP roms available on XDA
somemore its themed nicer.. looks more elegant..
