I have Sony Xperia Z2 (D6502). I rooted this device. After that dim flash light on everyday even not off in switched off condition.
I have flashed allmost all (kitkat,LP,MM) stock ftf using flashtool but still the dim flash light is on everytime.
What to do?
Is this because of lost DRM keys?
Please help me.
Compare with other Z2 device,any different? Or if you like,then try to boost your flashlight with editing file flashled_calc_parameters.cfg..

it is absolutely a short circuit on the mother board probably caused by water (if you ever used it in water) but for sure it is not a software Issue.
water even after drying can make a little corrosion on the mother board contacts which acts like a resistance conducting electricity to your flash light.

Really I need your help my mobile Xperia Z dropped down in the rainy water and I search it for 10 min and then I call it to know where is it, I find it ringing umder water an I know that's under water when I saw the mobile light, I pickup it from the water and it's fully working at this time, then I thought to close it and wash it by clean water and then this make it not working, finally I go to sony and they said that the water come inside the mobile into headphones and SIM ports and the indicator color come pink and this is not under guarantee, so I come back and dry it by the hot air from the hair dryer and now all functions work perfectly except big problem that the power button it's not work for switch on the mobile and I can only switch on the mobile in case that connect the mobile with the charger, I can't lock my screen and also I can't unlocked the screen when it's locked automatically.
I try everything
1 install new and latest software
2 hard reset with power button + volume up, one vibration and three vibrations
3 resets factory from inside the mobilr and erase all data from internal memory
Please advice for your Solution
Also u can mail me on [email protected]
Damn I thought the Xperia Z was waterproof. Must be because the rainy water is really wet.
Anyway the mods are going to close this pretty soon. Ask your question here http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/help

Hi out of the blue my Xperia Mini Pro Sk17i ambiance light sensor is either disable or broken ,
when i open service menu by dialing *#*#7378423#*#* , ambiance light sensor just show value = 0, i shine lights over also won't change....
is it possible its disable or broken? please help, my phone is out of warranty, i was hoping for a DIY repairs on it, any guide or tips on which part should i replace,?
thanks in advance
Hey there. I'll just assume you're using a stock rom, and I'll asume it (your light sensor) is actually broken.
"Repairing" it wont be cheap, because it's part of the flex ribbon/cable assembly, which also holds the front camera, notification LED, proximity sensor, home button, display/touchscreen assembly connector and speaker pins. Pretty much everything is soldered to this component.
There *could* be a problem with your flex ribbon. Perhams some of its wires are starting to break? I know this can lead to all sorts of issues, because it started messing with my LED some months ago. But, on the other hand, it might just be a faulty sensor.
Whatever it might be, I say you leave it as it is. Replacing the flex is no joke on the XMP.

thanks for the reply.... im not on stock rom , its 4.04 zelly cream 6.0 AWESOME ROM!!! love it... but before i flash this, i already have issue with the sensor ...
hmm i saw a video on replacing the lcd screen, seems not that hard, just lots of steps... but problem is im not sure where to find the replacement part for the board as u mention, the lcd is common in ebay, etc...
thanks for the reply by the way. i willing to fix it myself as i love this phone alot!! i use it for work,papago gps map, calls, fb ,messaging thats all.. the keyboard and its compact body is my fav combination...
Ebay
Search on ebay for "flex cable sk17i".
Before disassembly please make sure that the cable you will receive has all the sensors and the camera. The first time I purchased such a cable, it came without proximity sensor... Unfortunately I cannot upload pictures or links, but google is your friend, right?
If I were you, I'd look for a flex ribbon with the "1241-7544" part number between the big gray square and the display port/slot. Genuine parts WILL have this number, cheap knock-offs don't (at least most of the time).
Hi guys,
I took my Go out for a swim and after my swim, the screen started to flicker and eventually the screen died(yes, all the flaps were closed, I double checked). Now this was last month, and I did the whole rice bag thing, and still no improvement :3 But occasionally the screen comes back to life when I tap on it and then dies again.. And last week, I just happened to switch on the phone and it started working like nothing ever happened! And yesterday it stopped working again I took it to the Sony store and they say that it might take about 400RM(120USD) to fix it.. Is there anything that I can do to fix this??
Try to have it tested for water resistance, if a machine test shows leaks even after cleaning the caps it's not your fault (at least if $ony follows their service manuals to the letter)
You can open the screws up in the back and manually troubleshoot what is up with it. Check it for any water or moisture on the inside or any damage from it. Good luck

Did you switch it off the instant it got wet. Using the internally wet phone could damage the main board which could be causing the problems.
Or the screen could have been screwed up...

I did switch it off after the screen started flickering :/.. I opened her up today and theres a a little of rust on one of the connectors that lead from the screen to the board..
Well there you go. Youre gonna have to get new parts or fix the old ones.
Try removing the rust from the connector, then fully drying the insides and see if the screen turns on if you moove the connector around. Also check ebay for the price of a new screen. It might be cheaper then you think.

After water damage my xperia z3 having the same problem! Screen flickering, brightness is very low I can barely see anything in daylight! Otherwise everything working fine! Any idea what might causing the problem? Is it the screen or the motherboard is damaged?
Dear All,,
Device : Xperia Z2
ROM : existenZ ultimate 4
Here i requesting your assistance due to an error experienced by my device, Xperia Z2.
lately I use Z2 for under water photo, to be precise at Feb 20, 2015
Cronology:
1. Using phone under water for photo
2. activating touch block feature to prevent screen to be 'touched' by water
3. touch block's 'slide to deactivate' suddenly missing
4. until now I cannot touch my screen.
5. I do re-flash stock ftf file .167, but no changes, even in first use setup I cannot touch language selection.
If anyone have some clue to this issue, please tell me immediately.
Because I'm from Indonesia and Sony Service Center here is somewhat not satisfying.
Thank you.
Best Regards,
Amri

Well if it's a software problem reflashing .ftf back to stock should have fixed it... did you select to wipe cache and data in flashtool when you flashed?
If you didn't i would suggest to try that, if you did that already i think it's possible your digitizer got damaged by the water somehow :S
Do you see any kind of water traces/residue inside your phone?

Thank you for your response,
I did wipe data and cache,
water traces?
only saw some in camera (camera is blurry with water vapors).
i'm sorry but i dont really understand about digitizer thing,,
can you help suggest me what to do next?
Thank you.
By telling us that there was some vapour inside camera, I guess your phone isn't waterproof. Flaps were closed when you put it inside the water?
If yes and there's water, as I said. Somehow your waterproof is gone and by that water get's in and might get something done to your digitizer. Only Sony can fix it.
i agree with damian01211, probably some water got into your phone and damaged your digitizer (touch screen), if it was software related flashing .ftf with wipes would have fixed it
if you still have warranty use it...

if your diagnosis are pointing to digitizer,
as you said, only sony can fix it,
then i'll definitely go there because i still have warranty here,
as for complain with this matter to sony,
any suggestion to how to push them to repair my device quickly or at least willing to accept my device ??
Thank you.
Well, when I destroy my digitizer by using Fairy Washing Up Liquid to clean my screen, I went to my network operator, told them that my phone was working perfectly well on a given day and then next day when I woke up, my touch screen didn't work.
They've check if the water got it in by checking white paper above sim card if it's red and took my Z2 for repair.
If your paper is red (check it, it's above your sim card, flip the phone) then good luck (let's hope it's white) as they might accept it or not.
In Ireland even if water get's to your phone it does cover under warranty but I have no idea in Indonesia.

No, that's mean that water didn't get in.
Good 4 you
For several days, my Z2 display random flickering spikes.
Is a Z2 D6503, locked bootloader, stock DRM key, rooted and Z3 firmware 23.0.1.A.5.77 for Z2.
Earlier I tried to increase the brightness of the screen, editing /system/etc/pre_hw_config.sh with these values:
"fi dev =/sys/class/leds echo 4200 > $dev/lcd-backlight/max_brithness echo 4200 > $dev/WLED:backlight/max_brithness fi " (the maximum being 4095 stock).
I did not obtained a higher brightness, but lower brightness, set automatic at maximum 255.
I tried and “echo 265 > $dev/rgb/max_brithness” , same resultat.
I put back stock pre_hw_config.sh and everything returned to normal brightness.
But, for several days, my Z2 display random flickering spikes; coincidence?
I tried repair with Sony Pc Companion, install stock 23.0.1.A.0.167 rom, but no results; display random flickering spikes.
Help little, chek Disable HW overlays under Developer options, but still random flickering spikes.
Actualy i am on D6503_23.0.1.A.0.167_Customized UK (unbranded), rooted, locked bootloader.
Everything works fine, except random flickering spikes.
Something help?
Fix?
….Or broken screen hardware?

Repair with Sony Pc Companion (reinstal D6503_23.0.1.A.0.167) not solved.
Restore DRM key, not solved.
I think the GPU is slightly disoriented, overlay problem.
By the way, in landscape mode, almost no problems; some games, applications have problems in landscape mode; in portrait mode all have problems.
In fact, I think the problem came when i updated multimedia application Album, Movies Walkman ...
I upload a video for vizual description.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZ8QPulQk18&feature=youtu.be
Can anyone tell me how completely disable the video GPU?
Thanks for help, problem solved.
Sony design problem.
The phone had little humidity inside.
Probably when we opened door to charge usb phone, or copy music phone, humid air penetrated inside.
Where Sony comes out humidity from the phone, if it is sealed?
To many people complain that they get water in your phone.
Even you can not completely seal usb connectors, microSD, and SIM, like headphones connector?
Halal waterproof phones! ... Maybe phones full of water!
My problem was solved by exposing the phone with the covers open and microSD card and SIM taken out at a heat source for 3-4 hours.
I like going and exposed to sunlight with the covers open.
I recommend that all phone owners xperia z .. to do this.
PS: I apologize because I thought the problem was from Sony updates (We are all know that the updates are not always hidden partitions of phones).
Have a nice day.
