my friend bypassed lock screen without pc or formatting(closed) - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My friend unlocked my phone in front of me in a matter of seconds using his phone. All I saw was him opening WhatsApp on his phone and doing something after 15 seconds boom my phone is unlocked.
I just want to know how he opened my phone without my password.
I have a Nexus 5x with Android 8.1 January
And my friend has a Sony Xperia with Android 7 ish...
Edit:NVM I found out how

hello Divyam123, it's not possible to unlock your phone with your friends WhatsApp account. He must be using some another trick which you didn't see.

xperia z ultra software very unstable

my Sony xperia z ultra goes berserk and haywire quite often........I guess the software is quite unstable ... Sometimes after opening the home page the phone strangely starts operating on its own.. The pages gets changing, sometimes the contacts gets clicked, phone calls get activated...once my phone was lying ideal and after i got a missed phone the phone automaticaly started went on a dial mode dialing the phone number from my call logs
Today suddenly the wifi got activated, the home page got rotating and kept changing....I mean the phone is lying in front of me and i am not even touching the phone and everything is happening on its own the phone going berserk......
Help .. has anybody else going through this same problem........
Today while i was browsing the twitter ...suddenly my twitter went overactive ...automatically getting clicked on send tweet tab and sending blank tweets....
Godd..........is it a ghostttttttttttt.... i am lost and pulling my hair.. never seen a phone behave like this in my 20 years of having a moble phone with me...
Note: If you initiate this process, you will lose all the data stored in your phone’s memory. All settings within the apps will be lost. You will only retain the data on your card; like your music, photos and videos.
1. From your Home screen, select ‘Apps’
2. Select ‘Settings’
3. Tap ‘Backup & Reset’
4. Now, hit ‘Factory Data Reset’
5. Tap ‘Reset Phone’
6. Then hit ‘Erase Everything’
Once this process is completed, your Sony Xperia Z Ultra will reboot itself. That’s it, most smartphones abnormities are solved by simply performing a hard rest.
Model?
Firmware build please?
-Latest is 14.1.B.1.526. (if your is lower, update it)
-Download Sony update service
-Follow instruction.
its firmware ending with 510 .. no we havent got the new update of 526 in our country.... as jutley said will try doing a hard reset.. hope it works..
Even with the latest firm the phone its far away from the stability in the 475 firm. In my case it must be with the backlight optimization on if not acts funny (not only for the booting...)

Dirty screen? have it if i touch my screen with water on my hands or flour. It stick to the protection and do like if I was touching the screen again and again until I clean it ^^
If I have to pick which Z Ultra C6802 firmware is the most stable, I will definitely go for the .475 firmware, without any doubt.
In all honesty, with the latest firmware updates, it feels more like a downgrade to me. With Optimised backlight always on, the colors of the display looks dull & faded.
If you untick Optimised backlight & restart your phone, then it will go haywire to the point that you wish you've never purchase it in the first place.
Sony has taken a step forward & 2 steps back with their latest firmware updates - Tell me What's the point of rolling out enhancements & new updates, at the expense of firmware stability?

There must be dirt or water in the screen due to sweaty hands on you r screen causing this. I had the same pribelm. Lock the phone and wipe the screen with a neat cloth or paper. It will be gone.

unstable xperia z ultra software
Tried everything damn thing you all guys asked me do.. even resetting it twice... nothing seems to work...... finally called the sony service center guys... well they admitted its a software issue and needs to be updated and quite strangely its a an update which they claim can be done only in the serivce center and not in my home thru pc companion nor over the air thru from my mobile....
Its sound quite strange to me and hearing for the first time about a software update which sony service center provides exclusively provides and which is no available to the end user..
Anyways i am quite exacerbated by the whole thing and finally decided to go back to my note 2 which i have still retained..
Sorry Xperia guys ...do u have think i have made a mistake by changing over to z ultra from note 2 .. or its a just a one of thing.... which should get settled by this sony service center upgrade...
sending it tomorrow, will keep you guys posted.........if it doesnt work even after this i guess i need to pop of my xperia

My guess is that they simply reflash the ROM. There is a new update out today BTW. Have you tried it?

xperia z ultra updated to firmware ending 532
my mobile just got returned from service center with the new firmware installed.... now to see if the bugs have dissappeared..
never imagined sony can release just a major high end phone with so much of bugs in it.
This is your bad luck. I never had any problems with Zu, now I,m on third firmware, I have changed the country code, rooted etc. And never had any problems with the phone. Maybe your problem is deeper than o simple firmware install, that is why they asked to send the phone to service. I guess it's just bad luck

Because it's already perfect.
Nah, i don't know. Maybe the updates are location based, i.e the models that got sold in Asia have some problems, and Sony is trying to fix them, and the "western" versions are from a newer batch and don't have these problems. Maybe Sony noticed something funky from the first batch, but then it was too late, so they went like "**** **** ****! Execute them updates!", and meanwhile in peaceful Europe - nothing. We got the good ones.
This is of course completely wrong and i have no idea what i'm talking about, but it could be. Could. But i doubt it. Yes. I doubt it. I'll stop now. Soon. OK, now.
usually, Restore factory setting can solve it
solution
Hi..my hp start crazy justnow..so try with reset with secret orange button (inside sim slot) with needle or pin.
Press along 5 second..till or hp was shutdown. Now my phone coming back to normal...

Xperia Z2 Black Screen

Hey Guys,
Just got my new Xperia Z2 2 days ago, the phone looks nice. Compared to the Samsung Galaxy phones I had before (S4 & Note 2), the Z2 feels like a real phone especially with the glass frame.
The phone is fast with a nice camera, the only comment about it is "too much bezel" which I think SONY could've done a better job by "trimming" the huge bezel....
Today I unlocked the bootloader and was about to root the phone when all of a sudden the screen went black with no light at all
Tried to reset the phone, reboot....etc. nothing really worked, I did some search and found out that this is a common issue with the Xperia Z & Z1 as well and looks like Z2 is having the same issue..
Just had to take the phone back to the SONY store, they didn't have a replacement and they told me that If I needed a replacement, that'd be back order and I'd have to wait another month !!!
Also, they were hesitant about returning the phone and told me if I used it for over 30 min., then they can't return it and they'd have to sent it for repair....luckily I had used only 25 min. !!!
Just be aware of the issue. Also, does anyone know if the black screen issue is very common on the Xperia ?? I liked the phone and was thinking about buying another one.

hmmm, if i was you i would use the phone as it is and wait for some couple of months before rooting it since it is new on the market and issues will keep on going till bugs are sorted out and that rooting should be updated with new files and then after users review i think then you might just root it but for now there's too much bug even with its stock firmware its normal wait a bit Disable all apps that you don't use for now
Screen of death
I had a similar situation with my new Z2 although nothing to do with the bootloader, rooting the phone etc.
Basically screen went blank after using a magnetic charge adaptor. Anyways depends what country youre in/phone provider.
I got my phone via a plan and was well over 30 mins of use. My phone lasted about 1.5 weeks and my provider have a 30 day exchange policy if a fault is present.
My phone wouldn’t respond regardless of the power button and volume buttons same time. when on charge I got a flashing red light, not the constant orange charge light.
Anyways went to a shop and got a replacement on the spot.
I don’t know if its common with a Z2 as they are just too new yet. Overall im very happy with mine and suspect I just got a faulty phone, it happens.
Same here buddy! I tried the top three, xperia included. Xperia is good and I have no complaints.
Obsessed with rooting and romming since the android SGS years, I bought an Xperia Z2 also to stop my obsession lol!
After 15-AUG, I may root, if a root is available on locked bootloader. Lets wait for DoomLord to attack on the stock first.
Thanks guys,
Well, I don't consider any android phone to be really a phone without rooting...
BTW, Does anyone know a way to run rooted apps on non-rooted phones ??
Thanks again.... :good:
you cant run rooted apps without root :/
unless you mean something else

[Q] Vanilla Z2 stuck at purple boot screen

I am in need of expert help.
Last night I rebooted my Z2 and it starts normal up until the purple screen with the wave pattern and then it just stays on that screen and wont boot further.
I have not unlocked or flashed any new firmware it's the stock Android 4.4.4 pushed by Sony. I tried an hard reset but still the same, I even let the phone run this screen until the battery was empty but still every boot it sticks at the same screen.
Only way to shut the phone down once this screen appears is power button and volume up. Any ideas how to get it to boot again? Phone is only 3-4 month old to. Maybe get hold of the original firmware from Sony?
Any help greatly appreciated.

this sounds like a hardware issue, try repairing via sony PC companion and if this still fails then contact sony repair centre as this is a fault with the devices hardware casued not by the user.

According to Sony it sounds like a software issue and I should use PC Companion.
Will have to RMA it and wait 3 weeks for it to be returned. Weird never had issues with my Galaxy S3 even & CM11, 4 month old vanilla Z2 bugged out on me ;-(

Seeing how this most likely a software issue you could have easily recovered it using this it doesn't void warranty so you could have saved 3 weeks and the hassle of RMA it back to sony.

Honor 10 issues

Hello,
my friend purchased a completely new Honor 10 COL-L29 running currently with EMUI 9.0.0. After a few months, he dropped the phone and broke his screen. When the phone came back from a screen repair center at our local mall it was stuck in boot-loop and sometimes if would never boot at all. Recovery only shows errors when I try to update software and data wipes don't work.
I am able to boot into the system sometimes when holding volume down and everything seems to be working fine but as soon as I open the camera or files app the phone shuts down immediately. I honestly don't know what to do anymore since the bootloader is locked and there are no fixes on Huawei website to look for. I am not a phone expert so maybe there is an easy way out of it. I would be really glad for any suggestions. Thanks
COL-L29
9.0.0.223(C432E4R1P12)
EMUI 9.9.9
Android 9

Xiaomi Note 10 Lite Stuck in Mi Logo

Hi everyone, my Xiaomi note 10 lite freezes at the Mi logo after I restart it.
Medical history of this phone
It has died suddenly, for 3-4 days after the device runs out of battery, it will restart to use normally.
The other day I used Messenger to take pictures, but the device said that there was another software using the camera, I turned on the camera of the device and couldn't take a picture, so I decided to reboot the device, it just showed the Mi logo and was no longer usable ( I let it run out of battery but then restarted it but it didn't come back).
I tried everything on the internet to fix it myself but it still doesn't work (haven't been to the repair center yet). Has anyone in the group encountered this error, can anyone give me some advice.
Thanks guys so much!
did you fix that problem?
