Camera shutdown and other... - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Couple of questions... I tried to take a small video and then a picture and my camera shut down immediately. Has anyone seen this behavior? The software said that the phone was too hot, but I didn't feel it overheating.
Next, battery life is much worse then the HTC m8 I am coming from.
Finally, I needed to get att LTE in the sun card and had a tough time getting that put on by the rep at the store. How do you guys get around the "Xperia phones don't get LTE crap?"

xperia devices vary
For some reason
Meaning that you have a posiblity of getting a faulty device .i recomend getting a replacement or wait to see if this is common xperia issue
LTE depends on your country , or sim provider
Battery drain may be caused by an installed app or a broken system process
I recomend getting a replacement Z2 becuause this is nowhere near normal behaivor

I've actually been able to solve all of my problems by doing a repair via PC Connection. Much of it had to be because of a rogue app.

Do you know any thing more than what this link says or what
i found recently it depends on the country its made in
i was just wondering if this is true
i also saw some issues else about CPU scaling issues aka but i don't remember what i read
good news:
most issues given can be fixed by "fixing your device" using Sony PC companion

Either you are the most unlukiest guy around or you have screwed something up!
Are you rooted? Unlocked bootloader? Have you removed or frozen an app?

i'v done 4 things :
1) update the phone
2) rooted the phone
3) kick the **** of the SprintOmaDm service with Titanium Backup.
4) change in the Build.Prop :
smoother scrolling
windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=150
Well id say number 3 is your problem.
We told you how to disable sprint activation in the Disable Sprint Activation The Easy Way thread!
The way you've done it through Titanium may be the cause of your lock screen issues, sure I've read in another thread of this issue. Try searching, you will be surprised

Unsure regarding the screen as I play games on the Photon without any issues
If you regret it that much then consider getting rid of it and get something else.
Me personally love this phone and when I tell you i've had around 7 different handsets this year alone, this is the only one I want to keep. I've had the SGSII, HTC Sensation, LG 2X, Desire HD, Atrix etc, etc but this phone is stunning right out the box, speedy, not too much **** on it, has so much potential its unreal.
The days of the Photon are just beginning.

i'v thought about the LG P990\P999 or the SGS2

Well the LG 2X has half the available RAM as the Photon, 8GB of storage compared to the Photon.
The SGSII is a great device, very fast, **** loads of ROM's but far too thin for my liking, feels very cheap in the hand, when you go to pick it up off a flat surface I've forgotten how many times I dropped it.
But you need to be happy and the Photon ticks everything for me

Bloody hell man its a frigging phone, use it as one or get a cheap nasty Nokia
Also you keep opening threads on this that and the other and then in your last post here you say you still have the sprint film on your screen and wonder if it is affecting your screen, can you actually see anything through the text on the film?
Man I feel whatever device you get we will be seeing more of you in different XDA forums, opening pointless threads!

Id bet money that you will have problems with your samsung at some point. No flagship is free of issues.

C`mon man...we`re not interested in selling or throwing your phone to garbage!
we all know about the xperia s problems.we do not need you to remind us of them.
unless u have to say something usefull( e.g how to get rid of those annoyng bugs from ics or how to repair the yellow tint...or how to improve the battery life) please leave us and buy a ugly Samsung...or HTC or whatever you like! you will find that all the phones have their problems
at least....xperia s with all his problems is a f#^#n` sexy phone...the rest are just...phones
fake HD Pentile display vs Sony's bravia engine HD display.
No thanks.
If not because of the yellow tint issue that was killing me, i would keep it until the 2013 line realeased.
Xperia S is hell a of a sexy phone.
100% agree but cause I need a phone that works and could not face another 5weeks with out it been repaired had no choice. Now I am no fan of Sammy far from it but when I will have an average of 40 calls a day on my mobile (busy upto 65) needed something that would work.
I still much prefer the xperia S but how it looks is not that important or how it feels if that was the case might have chosen the lumia.
Now I have no preconceptions that Sammy make a better phone this actually feels so plasticly you would not believe but when it comes to making and receiving a call its working. I do not have to worry now (at the moment) about people complaining they can't here me with all the beeps cause proximity is bust, and nore do I have to strain cause yellow tint was getting worse and worse, or the endless FC just using the contacts looking up a number (after re flashing bringing back to stock etc.)
Yes my robot who built my xperia was on the oil too much but when they could not issue a replacement why should I stay.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I never had any problems on the S with force closes and such (system apps anyways). I would much rather have a yellow screen (that can be repaired) than a blue screened plastic fantastic device to be honest. You can't fix the cheap body and a blue screen.
Everyone has their opinions and such so it doesn't matter. I find this thread in general a bit unnecessary but whatev

Simvalley AW-414.GO

I just got one of these in the mail. Does anyone else have one?
Sent from my OMATE using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
this is after I put nova launcher and some other apps on it too and customized them.
it wont show the status bar properly now tho :s but its a compromise until someone makes better firmware for it as the current firmware/launcher are buggy and not good.
LOL. I thought you were joking when you said you were getting one. Maybe you can bug Omate for a "spare" case.
Better yet have Bell & Ross make you a custom watch face and strap.

no i have it on my wrist right now. i'm not impressed tho in that the software is crap it has some bad bugs that being said tho if it didnt have the bugs it would be pretty cool (the truesmart I've pre-ordered will be better tho)
I think that the bugs are coursed by them trying to mix elements from the app drawer and the home screens together. it has no homescreens or widgets but has folders were you can put 3 yes only 3 apps per folder how useless. and sometimes apps show multiple icons per app installed worst i've gotten is 3 for one app install and only uninstalling it will remove it. also after you've filled so meny pages of apps it starts not showing some of them so you have to do a device search to find/open them. and if i try install say nova or next 3d instead of the usless default launcher they would be fine but. the notification bar totaly vanishes and stops working. so until someone makes better firmware for it or maybe the omate firmware will work on it ? it has omate firmware on it now and the model number also says omate. i'd just be worried about breaking it by doing that and couldn't anyway unless someone makes a root hack for this? so atm its not as good as it could be.
Did you buy it directly from China? As far as I know, PEARL isn't shipping the AW-414.GO yet.

At the moment only Europe, my mate bought 3 so there sent it through DHL,
you can email or call them but I don't think there will send just the one,
best wait till November as more online sites will be selling them,
http://www.merimobiles.com/omate-truesmart-smartwatch_p/meri8080.htm
plus price will be cheaper once more online stores have them
You could always buy it directly from China. Just look around at Alibaba.com.

I'm doubting you can buy this one from china as its not a generic watch device its omates prototype.
I'm going to be making a review/over view? video of this device sometime soon
so I'm wondering if anyone who commented in this thread would like to know or see anything specific about it?
Show us some play store downloads and apps commonly used, maybe demonstrate different launchers, Google maps, GPS features.

I would like to see how it works as a smartwatch All these discussions about various android watches got us far away from the original concept of smartwatch, to be a remote display for your smartphone where you get your notifications upon which you decide if you want to take out your smartphone to proceed That's how it works with MetaWatch and Pebble, a simple notification smartwatch. As much as I'm looking forward to Omate and other android smartwatches, these crossed the threshold of smartphone on your wrist which is an overkill for a lot of people. So, I would really like to see how this AW-414.Go will be able to deliver notifications about incoming calls, text messages, Gmail, and POP/IMAP/Exchange emails.

I am not sure if you can use it like the pebble it errored when I tried bluetooth it to my phone with the app that seems to be the one that does that and It didnt come with any instructions/manual.
I will try again tho also is their anything else you would like to see?
I disagree in the sense that having a full android os means you can do a lot more with it and customise it however you want plus you dont have to use its built in phone/3g if you dont want to. I mostly use mine at home on wifi. The battery life is a joke on 3g and exstremely bad if you actualy actively use it with 3g/phone enabled and not just with those on in standby mode. But thats to be exspected due to the size of the batterys in these kinda devices.

How bad is battery life on 3g? Because if it truly is that bad it kind of makes it pointless even using as a standalone, if it won't even make it through the day. And if it won't work as a companion,well...

Madly in love with this phone, but took it out to italy last week and took some shots on it and constantly a pop up telling me the camera was being stopped due to extreme temperatures
The phone was warm, but not very hot and I had only used it for one or two shots when it did this, repeatedly
Anyone had this issue?

Should I get it?

Hello guys I moved on from oneplus one, thinking to buy a premium phone but the self cracking issue has put me into a fix.So what do you guys suggest, reasons for the issue, is it still prevalent.
I do gaming sometimes for 1/2 an hour.Should I go for g3 32gb?But I found that scrolling in app drawer is not so smooth

Self cracking issue i have no idea whats up because i had 3 Z2s which went through relatively extreme conditions for a standard device aka heating and cooling and none of the 3 "self cracked"
Z2 may only be 16GB but alows for a Expandable micro sd upto 128GB so storage
Slow app drawer is to be fixed in an upcoming 4.4.4 firmware update from sony
what about g3.Any suggestions?

perhaps you would want to ask that over G3 forums. Gather some G3 issues and fixes and then decide yourself to what premium phone to buy. Choose wisely. :angel:
G3 has so many issues, some people are saying they sold their G3s and went back to the G2, check their forums and you'll see

I dont know whats up, but some "self cracked" pictures show impact areas from where the device hit when dropped so self crack is exageration and or lies most of the time
So thats whats up with that
C'mon man, you ask if you should buy a Z2 or a G3 in a Z2 forum? What do you expect? People ar going to say Z2. Ask the same question in G3 forum, they are going to say G3. And so on.
