sim/charger slot - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, am facing this issue on my z2. The sim/charger slot open very frequent (less then 20 minutes) automatically.
Does anyone knows why and what should i do!!
Am afraid to take pix under water and damage my phone.

Used to have this problem...we posted about it and solved it too...but I guess that thread is buried too deeply already.
Will just repeat it again - clean off all the dust from the silicone ring/seal area of the flap and it should work like new again!

This is wat youll ever need for your camera
geeezz thanks alot man, lemme try it and giv u feedback
installed it, but images are still the same. see preview below:
Pls HELP!!!!!
dont know wats causing this may be you should try hardreset.
How long have you had your phone, and has this always been a problem? Have you cleaned the lens?
might sound trivial, but...
maybe the protective plastic, the phone ships with?
I finally took mine off...
I installed this cab, and my cam looks way better! (I think )
anyone know the specifics on this cab?
Thanks for a great site!
Who needs sleep?
Thanks Xtra
anybody got any other ideas?? nothing seems to have worked so far...
It could be a hardware problem.
does that patch also fix blue snow?
May be a lens is too scrached ?!

Thanks mate. I took off the protective cover and it worked! I know it's like a million years later, but i actually gave up on finding a solution.
Thanks alot ppl. Appreciate!
focus
Try do adjust focus if possible by dismounting the camera unit and then turning the plastic body around the lens. Again some models don't have this so check if yours has one.

Keypad has lost its mind

Ever since I flashed 21820 my keypad has been nuts. I am trying to figure out if I have a hardware or software problem.
I flashed 2 or 3 different 21820 ROMS all with the same results. My problem is as follows:
The buttons intermittently do not work or have the wrong function. For example, the send key does not work at all, then it works. I press the home key and it launches a call. Then all buttons are dead. Then it works fine for several hours or even an entire day.
I have tried flashing back to previous ROMS and I even flashed back to a factory ROM all with the same intermittent results. I can put the phone on my desk and not touch anything but the keys. Sometimes it works sometime not. Because nothing is moving, it seems hard to imagine a wiring short.
Any advice is welcome. Being a cheapo, I skipped the ATT phone insurance so I may have to pay for a repair if necessary.
Thanks for any help.

Sort of. They are having trouble with the keyboard. My problem is only with the front buttons: Home, Back, Send, End.
I read some of these posts before, but my keyboard seems to be working fine, so I did not pay much attention to them.
Hopefully I can fix this somehow. I hate to think about a repair bill or a replacement.
Doug M.
I just read your original post again and now realize what you were referring to the pad not keyboard ... my bad.
Assumed you've done a quick search through your kitchen on the off-chance that another keypad DLL didn't manage to sneak in somehow.
Captain_Throwback put out a post a while back for warranty replacement - not sure if it's AT&T specific or general HTC, but he had fairly good success. If you haven't the device for a long time, it may be possible to get it serviced via warranty.
Sorry, I know it's not much help but from the sounds of it, it may be hardware related since you've done all the typical troubleshooting steps.
Cheers,

You think too much of me. I am no chef, I simply enjoy the work of other talents on this forum. I have tried several different ROMS;Energy, Timolol, DaG new, old etc... all with the same results.
I also just tried a shot of compressed air and a healthy dose of WD-40 on the keypad as I pried the edge up slightly. So far it seems to be working. Hopefully it will hold. These intermittent issues are a pain to troubleshoot.
Thanks for your help.

Careful with the WD-40. don't get the moisture sensitive patch near the battery wet. If you had the phone for less than a year old, it's under the manufacturer's warranty that AT&T will honor. As long as you can show the phone wasn't abused (make sure to flash original ROM and SPL) and the phone still has those issues, then they will replace it with no cost to you. I had a problem with the main keyboard, flashed the shipped ROM and SPL and they didn't give me any heartache/headaches... Especially since you've proven that it's hardware with the prying and WD-40

Thanks for the tip. I had not thought about that patch, but it seems dry for now. So far the WD-40 is still working. Maybe I have solved this issue.
Generally I love it when things break. It is a great chance to upgrade without the need for too much explaination at home. For now however, there is no device that I would reather have. When the TP2 makes to to the states however, my phone may have an "accident"...

Frame/border broken?

HI today I take a closer look at my phone, and I saw that border / frame broke on my S3
The phone was not dropped once , I do not wear it in the back pants pocket, I really do not get it how it broke?!
What you say has any chance to solve it under warranty? Possibly question number two, how the problem is to replace it?
Here is a picture

Omate Truesmart - Shoddy build. Beware

My Kickstarter Omate Truesmart arrived yesterday. Super excited.
Today I wore it as a wristwatch for the first time. Within 2 hours, just wearing it on a standard tube journey, nothing untoward or unusual - not banged or something- it had lost the power button. [Edit: By this I mean it's fallen off and gone missing, if that's not clear!] I now can't turn it on.
On the plus side, the battery life is amazing. You'll never have to charge it - the battery is good for the lifetime of the device!
Now how do I contact Omate and tell them this isn't right?
UPDATE: OMATE did indeed swap the watch for a working one in the end. It took a while, but they are worth talking to with issues. Credit to em, in the end.
Try unscrewing the back and press the battery in whilst trying to turn it on. Some of the watches seem to be a bit loose. If it works, you'll probably need to wedge a bit of card between the battery and the watch back.
Have you tried the other battery?

How does this solve the problem of the power button falling off and going missing? *baffled*
Perhaps I should have been more explicit. This isn't a software bug. The button fell off in casual wear. As per subject line: Shoddy build. All there is now is a hole in the side of the watch.

Post a picture, people will understand it better. For some, english is not their first language.
Regarding warranty issue, contact them through one of the emails: http://omate.com/contacts.html or go to their official forum and ask people for advice. I'm sure someone will chime in with a suggestion. I'm not doubting you, but still have a hard time understanding how that button can fall out since it supposed to go inward.
Thanks. I sent an email to them. Bit worried that some people have had trouble contacting them though.
Pic, for ye that don't believe: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4903664/20131222_005938.jpg
Got onto the tube with the button, pulled back sleeve to check the time a bit later, and no button or sign of it....
Anyone else had issues? I hope this is a random issue, not the first of a wave!

Thankyou. I have done so.
Please keep posted on what Omate tell you, and how they handle this.
My mate just got his return done,
There do reply but take ages working out a solution,
After which your then told that the watch is in short supply so have to wait for a replacement,
My mate watch had a issue with mounting the internal storage and it overheating while charging,
To the opt send omate the pictures there will sort it out but you'll have to wait for a replacement

Yea there's a reason for this issue and it's because the pin solder came loose. Hope you get a reply soon.

I'd need access to one for starters. And willingness to put the fiddly thing together...
For the record, despite several attempts to elicit a response from Omate on several email addresses, I've received no meaningful reply from them on this.
For the moment, I have to say: Caveat Emptor with this company.

Saw the image posted. It looks like you lost not only the button but the stainless steel bushing that was compression seated into the case. I tried to remove the button and bushing from the case on one and gave up when I started looking for a hammer. Even though it sucks, I would consider you experience the exception and not the rule.

That's something. Though little consolation. Someone else over on the Omate forums says he's lost the power button as well. So there's more than one gone this way...
The news is that Omate finally wrote back:
Please share your address details so we can register you for spare parts replacement as soon as our service center is in place in your country.
Thanks
Best regards,
Omate TrueSmart Team
Less than stellar. But it's a response...
It's really all they can do right now. You could send them your watch and maybe get a replacement but it's nice to know they've at least responded.
Don't give up.

After some communication, and MUCH waiting, they finally came through and got my watch replaced. I now have a power button! Woo!
So yes - it's worth persevering. I think they are probably understaffed, and rather busy, and you must be very patient; but they do the right thing by customers in the end.

Weird noise issue during calls

Hey everybody, I am facing a very weird problem, when in call, the other side is hearing a lot of noise when I move the phone even a little bit, the thing is that I tested it and without the protective case on the noise is almost completely gone and when I put the protective case back on its really loud and sensitive again, why does it happen? I am using Spigen Rugged Armor and it does seem like it fits the phone pretty well in terms of size and holes location.

It's a well known problem of the Poco F1. It's from the noise reduction software processing.
From what I understood the next update will come with a fix for this problem.
Until then there are some fixes but you need ROOT to apply them.

Does it really makes the phone calls have a normal every phone like call quality? Because nobody i know have this issue even with 100$ phones.
Will it be as good as every other phone or still bad but a little better? Right now i have to stand still like a tree just so the other side can hear me and not noise. And what update will it get implemented in?
Hi, I'm facing the same problem, I thought that is hardware "my device related" but it seems that no !
Looked for a solution in xda in the Poco F1 forums, found few topics but no solution...
Tried MIUI roms, Lineage PIxel Edition... same problem (Best results on MIUI from my point of view)

So after countless options and useless effort I decided to replace the charging port where the main mic is located, it's not an original piece is one from another manufacturer, also Chinese ,you can find it on AliExpress, and the problem is solved ?, I can't believe it, maybe all of you having this issue could resolve it by replacing that piece
