Has anyone encountered an issue with NFC where tapping the checkbox to enable it flashes a checkmark for less than a second and then it disappears, meaning that NFC was not enabled?
I'm rooted and unlocked so I suppose there's a possible relationship there (I hope not, it doesn't seem to make sense for me).
I'm running stock firmware, 32GB Wifi (US).
Edit: needed a reboot. I'm in the process of trying to get Google Wallet running.
Mine doesn't work either, though I'm not entirely bothered but if a patch or simple solution occurs I'll persue it.
I've have no real need for it, but it works on my phone ok. - which is the Sony Xperia Z.
I neither have any idea as to what is causing the fault.

Ok, first you need to install root browser, and then open it, select data, you will see the folder USF, hold the icon, and then rename it to usf1,then ok. AFTER THAT, POWER OFF AND TURN ON AGAIN, FIX THE PROBLEM!
And for non-rooted devices.......

Non-rooted should have no problem turning on nfc, if you do experience that problem, take it to sony, maybe the tablet is defect

Hi guys
As this is a brand new section in xda-developers, we might need to draw the attention of the developers.
In this thread we can centralize all our requests that we have for the developers.
I will start with my requests :
1. Android 2.1
2. Wifi modifications, so the Wifi doesn't disconnect after the phone gets locked
3. change fonts (now words are split in the strangest ways)
4. Live wallpapers (I don't know if this will be possible on such a small screen but it's worth the try)
I hope this will raise interest from some developers.
For me root and kernel with netfilter would be enough. Wifi tether is the only thing i miss atm and it is the only reason the G1 is still not gone.
But PdaNet tethering works, right?
I think the thing we need most is a root, or at least a way of removing Sonys modifications to Android

I've seen people complain that the wifi disconnects when the screen turns off. Is that what you mean? There's actually a setting for that...
Go to Settings > Wireless Controls > Wi-Fi Settings
Press the Menu button
Select Advanced
Select Wi-Fi sleep policy
Voila! Select 'Never', and it'll never sleep. I think. Unless it's bugged, of course! (can't test here, as I've got no wifi)

Hi Spataluk
I indeed meant when the screen turns off and I'm afraid that it's not that it is a software problem. I already found that option and I already selected 'Never'.
So it is bugged and it is a known issue for Android 1.6. Was same problem with the Hero.
But thanks anyway

Yeah just to confirm this does not resolve the wifi turning off - also FixMyWifi crashes so cannot sustain the WIFI during sleep either.
Only option is to disable>re-enable WIFI after device wake-up, otherwise the wifi scanner does not pickup a network.
For me (first foray into Android development) make sipdroid work! It's set in absolute sizes for many things, so not everything shows up on the mini's screen.
Just got done with my build environment, now to get the source, and see what I can do.
root!
Everyone hates these apps that cannot be deleted. Specially the demo-versions, which are useless afterall.
There's apparently root now.
Can anyone confirm it's working with the mini pro?

Exploids method works like a charm.
I just removed the demo games and the manual with the root.
Is it easy for someone to create a *very* basic but functional rom, to get rid of SE's rubbish?

This is exactly what I came here to say. Netfilter support is about the last thing I need on the phone after having found pretty much everything else I needed. If we get netfilter support, it will be the perfect phone!
I actually got the source code for the netfilter kernel-module for the X10 mini, but I have no idea on how to compile it. If I get it compiled I don't think I would have any problem getting it implemented using insmod via adb, root access and busybox.

Maybe you should ask this question in the right part of the forum.
i guess since we now have root the question is can we copy the rom off the phone safely and then edit it so we no longer have all the sony stuff on it and maybe get cm6 on it
right my request is that we find a developer who can crack the bootloader and give us the android 2.2 update becasue SE never will
Hi,
My Xperia S suddenly quit vibrating at all, not for (text) msg's, incoming mail/sms etc, and haptic feedback for the 3
bottom keys doesnt work as well as that for the keyboard. Yesterday for some reason it stopped, but after a while it
returned. However, atm there's no vibrating at all again, which is annoying since I dont like to check everytime if I have a
msg or not.
I did not turn it off myself, and checking the settings it's still on. Furthermore nothing happened to the phone in terms of
mechanical damage. I did not recently (last few days) install new apps, but updated to firmware 6.1.A.2.45 5 days ago.
I dont think that has anything to do with the problem though, since the problem occurred only yesterday.
Phone software is just the original stock software.
Anyone recognizing this problem and perhaps has an idea on how to solve it? I'd be very thankful...
Thanks in advance,
Nanoxy

Isnt there some code I can dial to check if vibration works at all? I think I read somewhere about it but cant find it now...
And, if I use "back up and repair" function of pc companion, and repair using a back up of lets say 1 week ago, will I lose any data?
I mean of course I lose things I did this week, but for the rest are there things I should know before trying this?

Hi guys,
This is my first post.
I just got a Sony Z2, and yesterday I updated it to latest firmware 17.1.1.A.0.402 using flashtool. After that, everytime when I switch off my phone and turn it on, the message of "...android.process.acore has stopped" appeared.
I tried to flashed the phone again using PC Companion to re-update the same firmware. I though the error message has gone but than it is still there.
I have tried several ways as mentioned in this forum but the problem seem to be there. I don't see any problem/error caused by this error message yet.
Any idea/solution to completely remove the message?
Go into settings > apps > all apps, clear all data for anything relating to contacts then all will be fine, make sure contacts are backed up tho of course

I also have the same issue as the OP. It particularly happened after I upgraded to .402 using PC companion.The message will appear always after restarting. My devices has not been rooted. Tried to clear data and cache for contact apps, but after restarting, the message appeared again. I am still lazy to do a re-install because aside from the message appearing only after a restart, there are no other major effect to my Z2's performance. but clearing it will be nice though.
I have the same thing when i touch the phone immediatly when it just restarted, but when i restart and leave it untill screen goes off i don't get the message.

Hi guys,
Thank you for your info.
I tried to disable contact sync of Viber and I think the message has temporarily gone. Sometimes it still pop up but not as often as before I disabled the contact sync of Viber.
Apparently, this problem is caused by contact synchronisation between Viber, Facebook, Messenger, Whatsapp, etc. Other users, such as Samsung phone users, reported that they have the same issue but when they turned off contact sync of the above-mentioned apps, the error message somehow has gone.
To be honest, I have just recently switched to android from iPhone, and I have been usings iOS for years and never seen any kind of issue/error like this on iOS. However, Sony Z2 is one of the greatest phone I ever owned and I am so happy with it, specially its crazy battery life.
Hope you guys will share your solution here if someone can fix it permanently.
Cheers,

i had this problem, amongst others stopping my phone. i pulled the sim card out, then rebooted the phone. the phone then showed it was updating all apps i let it boot up and it seemed to work. pulled battery and put sim card back in. and all ok so far. i have sent my phone 3 times away to vodafone for this repair, with android.clock stopping, android.phone stopped working and the phone actually crashing on the samsung screen and not even booting up. each time all they do is a factory reset. like duhhhh, i have never thought of that (sarcasm). i am hoping that doing this, will give my phone some sort of permanency in it's repair. i have not rooted the phone, it is stock.
Vodofone refused to replace the handset even though it had been in so many times for repair. word of advice. steer clear of vodafone. i am cancelling all my contracts with them.
sorry that went off topic, but i want a phone that works and vodafone will not help you in that matter.

Xperia's have unremovable batteries, maybe you should steer clear of Samsungs
Is that a good thing or a bad thing though? Cos sometimes taking a battery out is what could be needed to fix a problem.
But point taken. Perhaps a change of manufacturer would help

I know people who advocated pulling the battery from devices as the only answer but I've yet to come across a situation on any device which couldn't be handled with >adb reboot or a three finger reset.
There's actually a method on Xperia devices, to disconnect the battery and plug it back. It's called "Hard Reset". Yeah you don't take the battery out in reality, but this method does it in Matrix dimension. So, the consequences are the same.
Would this be possible as the hardware seems pretty similar?
This would let us use VOLTE and Wifi-Calling on the Z2.
I was able to flash the system partition but then the touch screen has a weird mousepad behavior and Wifi / Celular doesn't work.
Any thoughts?
I googled everywhere and could not find a answer.
not exactly possible because tmobile branded Xperias are funny enough slightly different from normal Xperias so it wont work properly at all and not to mention its a Z3
you cant flash a Z3 rom onto a Z2 without modifacation.

Hello!
I recently switched to the m4 from my trusty LG OG, an it is perfect except for one thing... it doesn't ring.
I have tried all Sony-solutions, including PC software repair, etc... but no joy. My wife also has an M4 and has the same problem.
It is worked-around by using a 3rd party lockscreen (I use Hi-Locker), which is awesome.. but not ideal due to security problems, most notably Android Pay.
My question?
Can I replace the lockscreen at the ROM level? Can I replace the basic function with maybe a lockscreen from the Z5?
Unless someone knows how to fix this
I have never compiled my own rom, but I have a reasonable level of tech-savvy. I can flash ROMS and do work in Linux.
I have rooted and unlocked my bootloader, and I am using Stock Sony ROM
I have the latest firmware
Kernel 3.10.49
build 26.1.A.2.99
I have NOT tried using an old firmware- or an alternate ROM. I probably will, but my wife doesn't love the idea for her. Thus, I would like to work out a precision fix.
My thoughts?
Idea 1. find where the stock lockscreen/security module lives.. and try and replace with something from a different phone.
Possible?
Thank you for reading.. I know some other people have these problems, as I read them in threads here.. but I didn't find much in the way of fixing.
just for reference- THIS is the problem.

My phone doesn't ring when it 's locked. If phone is unlocked ringtone rings and vibrates. When it's locked no sound or vibrate. Whatsapp messages vibrate but they have no notification sound. I have checked all the settings, volume is up. Last resort is factory reset but i'm not there yet. I don't wanna lose all my settings.
E: Okay I used Sony PC Companion and used the Fix phone/tablet -thing and it downloaded the firmware and installed it so I think it reset my phone. Still my phone doesn't ring if its locked. If I press the power button when someone is calling to me, I can see the lockscreen notification on the screen but it doesn't ring or vibrate. FFS. Any ideas guys?
E2: I guess I find a solutions. Or a temporary solution. I noticed that if I disabled the screen lock, my phone would ring and vibrate normally. So I decided to try and download "Next" lockscreen app. Guess what. When I use it, my phone works perfectly. I don't know why it stopped ringing because there wasn't any new updates from Sony but it's clearly problem in Sony's software.

Yeah this is a huge problem and we're not the only ones suffering from it. Now I use CM Locker because Next drained my battery. I also noticed that my phone works fine if I boot on safe-mode. Still haven't figured it out which app causes the problem. Gotta wait for the 6.0 update and hope that fixes things.
Same issue with out-of-the box...
Well, have M4 'out of the box' - meaning - no custom software installed, no customized ROM, no custom lock-screen... and well - to make the ring work back I have to restart phone every few days (as soon as realize that it's not working) - oh Sony, what should I say ....
