QUOTE(xzu @ Oct 4 2013, 03:34 PM)
Hi

White XZU user here, on firmware 532

Been having a lot of issues with Fake Hang / Screen of Death, even with the Optimised Backlight ticked

A few symptoms that I have noticed that triggers the Fake Hang / Screen of Death:
1) Whenever I change the Display settings (does not matter which Display settings)
2) After intensive gaming (especially with Real Racing 3), movie or Youtube-ing, that gets the CPU / GPU / battery very hot
Noticed that the XZU would totally hang after a few hours cooldown period (about 4 to 5 hours after situation 1 and 2 described above)

Any ways that you guys can recommend on how to resolve this issue ?
Any help is much appreciated !

Have done a lot of background reading with Android SOD issues, which a lot of people claims is coming from Android deep-sleep mode.
Have tried a lot of things with my XZU, including a CPU keep-awake app (Wake My Android Pro) to prevent the XZU from deep sleep.
It works, until situation 1 and 2 is triggered, which totally defeats the whole multimedia experience of the XZU.
To prevent the Fake Hang / SOD, I constantly had to restart the XZU after the gaming / youtube sessions, which surprisingly helps to prevent Fake Hang / SOD

The XZU is a superbly brilliant device !
Only hope that Sony upcoming firmware updates (if any) can resolve this major stability issue...
*
bad unit, send in for warranty.

as for sleep of death issue can be prevented using Lux Auto Brightness app as the SOD is caused by light/proximity sensor. prolly C6802 firmware bug as i confirmed no SOD/fake hang when using C6806 .532 ROM on my XZU

thatisazam, thx for the advice.
I am using Lux Auto Brightness (free version) for the last 2 weeks, to prevent myself from touching the Display settings.
Same results, fake hang or SOD after the gaming sessions

I was wondering...how does the Lux app prevent SOD ?
Is the SOD caused by the proximity sensor ?
I read that previous Xperia Z issues were caused by Sony using different type of screens from different vendors...probably driver compatabilty issues ?

Anyone can pinpoint what causes the XZU to hang / SOD ?
*
both auto brightness settings and optimized backlight settings used the light sensor, disabling one of them will caused somewhat instability. but somehow proximity sensor module have behaved completely insane judging from logcat when the phone getting calls etc.

SOD happens when the backlight failed to turn off when the screen goes off or failed to start back the backlight after trying to turn back on. during SOD, try taking a screenshot, u'll hear the click. means everything else's fine but display failed to show up

my best guess is the firmware for C6802 is a wee bit buggy or there's an issue while manufacturing the phone. as of me, it's most likely firmware because on .532 rom for C6806, i was having 0 problems. too bad i din get the chance to keep the ftf coz i thought i was using C6802 rom when i wanted to switch to Malaysia's ROM instead of taiwan's.

I never have SOD in all the firmware i am on including the LTE 510 firmware
i only faced fake hang issues on all non LTE 510 firmware
LTE 510 n non lte 532 HK firmware perfect with no fake hang

wow...then i'll try HK firmware tonight n see if things get justified...too many roms, too many variation i am confused. thank God for the easy root solution and reliable backup applications, else i'll be thinking dozen times b4 flashing roms XD

Hye XZU folks~
Any recommended Brand & estimate price for Memory Card Class 10 for 16G or 32G for our XZU?
kindly share where to buy & usage xperienced.
tq  rclxms.gif  flex.gif

go for 16gb or 64gb...seems like a lot manufacturer for 32gb got prob with this particular size.

for class 10 16gb sandisk is around RM49

for class 10 64gb sandisk is around RM189

if you still opt for 32GB, class 10 for sandisk will be around RM99

why sandisk? lifetime warranty that's why.

Camera quality  is not subjective. If its bad, its bad. There's no other way.
QX10 does not solve camera quality issue. Its like bringing a PnS to solve a phone camera quality issue. Does it solve the issue? No.
*
with all due respect, quality IS a personal preference, very subjective indeed. A person may buy a DSLR of brand XXX instead of brand YYY even if everyone goes for brand YYY just because the person prefer images produced by camera of brand XXX than the latter. Beauty is always in the eye of the beholder and my personal opinion on XZU camera will have to agree with you, it's sucks. But we all know, we ain't buying XZU for its camera.

and using QX10 is an alternative to the XZU camera quality. Same like why use stylus to operate some functions if tapping with finger is better and faster (correct me but IMHO, stylus only practical for drawing... others? just redundant features). but both are an alternative which solves a problem, no? It's all personal preference.

Just got my Sbh52, collected from pos laju warehouse.. The item was shipped on Monday, but I just got back from outstation.. Was very eager to get it, so one I reach KL straight away go collect. LOL.. But then after play2 with it for a while, ermm.. Just ok.. laugh.gif

Just a quick impression. It feels plasticky on hands, so light, and feel like a cheap things. The small display suxx, feel like I'm back to Nokia 3310 era. I wish they can put a better display. I guess this thing is more to its functions. Tested the calling functions, it's cool, literally I've got the smallest phone to ironically accompany my largest phone.. I able to perform calling on sbh52 standalone, while my XZU is away from reach. Messaging function is not that convenient, but might be useful if u are on something and you can't reach your phone. It notify you when a SMS came in, then u push the play button to display it.. The SMS lines goes like an ads taglines the bottom of your TV, the moving sentenc, if u know what iI mean. Then once you are done, the SMS gone, you cannot review it. It only appear when it first came in to your phone. Other than that, the music player functions like a small mp3 player. Very basic display of the name of the song and artist.. I'm yet to test the sound quality, might to a short review if I have time.

Above all, it's a useful accessories for a big phone like XZU, but imo there is no point of getting this as a bluetooth accessories if u are using a normal sized phone, there are plenty of other option at cheaper price. But, if the price tag for sbh52 is somewhere around rm200, I guess this can beat most bluetooth headset outthere
*
this is a very good review indeed. but seem like got a point about it being too expensive. issit possible the NFC in the device to do other NFC-based stuff or just pairing the device with ur XZU? coz it's like a gimmick feature if it's barely proven to be useful unsure.gif

u r lucky already, new LTE unit only RM1.6+k. Faster sell if yours is 3g version not even worth 1.3k 2nd hand. Wait a few more months below RM1k already lol
*
i need link to that 1.6k lte coz cheapest i see is 1.8k...never intent to sell my unit regardless of the price drop coz u see, I used for 3 mths 1 week dy and it's RM2.1k when i got it. with all the accessories demanded, it's a rough 2.4k. Having it all sold for RM1.5k means RM300 per month for using the XZU and I still have to get another replacement phone. Some stuffs really not worth to be sold off unless rly need money...so if rly got new set 1.5-1.6k do inform me coz i ain't gonna suffer so much finacial lost and my bedside cinema laugh.gif
