Encryption issue with Xperia Z2 - hangs intermittently - anyone come across this?

Hi all,
I'm on my second Z2, having returned my first for what I thought at the time may have been a hardware issue.
Basically the device intermittenlyhangs and the screen cannot be switched on with the power button on the side. It needs a reboot via the Power and Volume up buttons. I can reliably reproduce the hang  by downloading one of the 6 free movies to my SD card, but it also happens intermittetly when I'm not using the phone. If it hangs during download, the charge rapidly drops  (eg from 100% to 69% within 30 minutes) and the unit gets very hot.
I bellieve I've isolated this issue  to enabling encryption  for the device and SD card. Without these options enablied the device is rock solid.  I have reproduced the issue on my replacement. phone. No apps other than those supplied out the box were installed at the time. Having subsequently removed encryption - a huge pain as it meant a factory reset , reformat of my SD card and re-download of  the movies due to the DRM - the phone is rock solid once again.
Encryption is a standard feature of Android, which I've been using on my previous Samsung Galaxy S3 and S4 with no problems whatsoever, so this is quite worrying if it is a bug.  On a non related note - I disovered  also that the backup application does not work if encryption is enabled.
Just wondering whether any other Z2 users on the forum have come across this issue so far?

Hi again,
Just posting a follow up.
I've done some testing and I seem to have narrowed the problem down to the use of the Sony Movies application with encryption enabled on the Z2.
If I launch the Movies application and start a download of one of the 6 free movies, and leave the phone alone, then it eventually hangs as I've described in my OP. If I press the Power button shortly after the hang happens the screen does not switch. If I hold the power button down the Z2 spontaneously reboots   If however the phone has been in the hang state for a while then it can only be recovered by using the Power and Volume+ buttons.
The hang also occurs if I launch the Movies application and leave it running in the background. The phone eventually goes into the hang state. The battery charge rapidly drains down during the time the phone is in the hang state, losing 30% or more charge in a short time.
If I do not launch the Movies application then the phone appears stable with encryption enabled. If I do not enable encryption then the phone is rock solid. This behaviour has occured on my original Z2 and on the replacemement that my mobile operator sent me, as I orginally thought my first unit had a hardware problem.
I've sent a description of the issue to Sony via the "Contact us" link on Xperia Care Support. Hopefully this will be addressed.

    My Game Center is not letting me log in on my ipad but I have no issues with my iPhone. Does anyone else have this issue lately.  This has just stared recently. When I go to Game Center is just trying to load continuously.

I went to the Recieved at and It has my number and my email right under neath it but I can not select my Number. My Email is clickable but my number is like a super faded grey not like you can't see it but it is not close to black.

  • L2TP w/ PSK unable to connect via the phone dataplan, has anyone come across this?

    I have been messing around with this on my Galaxy Nexus with Android 4.0.2 and have confirmed the following settings for VPNs to our corprate firewall.
    PPTP over Dataplan CDMA -- Everything works fine
    PPTP over Dataplan LTE -- Untested due to lack of availability where I live and work, will test at a later date.
    PPTP over WiFi -- Everything works fine
    L2TP over Dataplan CDMA -- Connection timeout
    L2TP over Dataplan LTE -- Untested due to lack of availability where I live and work, will test at a later date.
    L2TP over WiFi -- Everything works fine
    OpenVPN not supported without rooting the phone -- Verizon please add this functionality into your base ROMs for all of your phones.
    The reason I ask about anyone coming across this or having a fix is PPTP may work but it's old/insecure comparitively and may be going away in a future stable tree release of the corprate firewall I work with.  The full support of L2TP and/or OpenVPN/SSL-VPN would make life a lot easier for us techs who need to bounce into a server quickly and do what's needed when having a PC at hand is impossible, ie at a sitdown resturant.  If you need logs of the connect attempt let me know and I'll get them to you.  I did however see this error posted on the Samsung Fascinate forum as well.

    As of yet no, they are on my list of people to call but I won't be able to get to that call until a little later, once I do call Verizon Tech support I will reply with the post here if it hasn't been answered by someone who has come up with a workaround on the issue. 

  • Help!! ive tried to download itunes to my new laptop and it keeps coming up with error 2 - apple aplication support was not found ?? has anyone come across this that can help me??

    Help pleasE?

    Let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you? If so, does iTunes launch properly now?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • Has anyone come across this one

    On a 7936 set, we dial an 800 number for a conference bridge. The
    bridge answers and requests a PIN number. When we attempt to enter the
    PIN number there is no dial pad feed back tone when we press the numbers.
    Subsequently the bridge responds with did not detect your PIN number. It
    appears the dial pad is not active after the bridge answers. I have about 10 deployed all configured the same this happens on 3????

    I’ve examines the data provider array collection and from what I can tell, all is as expected!
    I'm using Flex 4, nightly build 11921 in Windows XP environment

    Shankar,
    Thanks for the hint but I just discovered that it was the id that I assigned to the Label in s:ItemRenderer that was causing this error. I changed id value from 'owner' to 'owner1' and that took care of that error. If 'owner' is an existing property in the class hierarchy of s:ItemRenderer, shouldn't it give some "Identifier used more than once" type of error?
    In any case, I'm closing this case and hopefully someone familiar with this fundamentals of this issue will throw some light on it.

  • Has anyone come across this

    when I use my Logitec wirless mouse and right click anywhere in an open window or Desk top suddenly my whole screen flashes and i loose any open windows why is this this just happend since I upgraded to Tiger 10.4.2 last week. it is still happening after the update of 10.4.8 I have a dual 2 gig G5 with 3.5gig of ram please if anyone can help

    You may have a bad file in the "Contextual Menu Items" folder in the "Library" folder in your home folder, or the "Library" folder at the top level of the hard drive. If there is anything in the "Contextual Menu Items" folder, try dragging it out, and see if that fixes it. Have you installed the full version of Stuffit? It can cause this. There is a fix at their web-site.

  • Password Incorrect ?!! Anyone come across this?

    "The password you entered was incorrect. Please try again." !!!!
    Just bought a new MacBook and an Airport Extreme base station. No problem. My Alienware, my Sony Mylo - no problem. Then i try to log on to the network with my older PowerBook G4 and the wep password suddenly doesn't work! error comes up "password incorrect". it worked fine with the MacBook, Mylo and Alienware!
    I thought maybe i needed to upgrade the PowerBooks card from airport to airport extreme but i now read that that it is supported. PowerBook is running OSX 10.3.9. Airport firmware version 8.70
    this driving anyone else crazy?

    Then i try to log on to the network with my older PowerBook G4 and the wep password suddenly doesn't work!
    Was it working before? Which WEP key type are you using: Password, 40/128-bit ASCII, or 40/128-bit Hex? If you must use WEP, I would suggest 128-bit Hex in a mixed (PC/Mac) environment.
    I thought maybe i needed to upgrade the PowerBooks card from airport to airport extreme but i now read that that it is supported.
    The older AirPort cards connect just fine with the newer AirPort base stations, when the base stations are running in either 802.11b or 802.11g/b mode.

    can someone help?
    thanks.

    The only table assigned to this cluster should be smon_scn_time which should hold only 2880 rows. Have you set any under parameters that affect the amount of data retained in this table?
    I found only three bug reports on the cluster and about 26 referencing the table but none matches your problem on first glance.
    You probably need to open a SR with Oracle.

  • Did anyone come across subtotal error in Scheduled workbooks?

    Hi
    In Discoverer worksheet if a column3 has a calculation like column1/column2
    then the sum of it should be (sum column1/sum column2).
    This works fine in interactive worksheets.
    But when the same workbook is scheduled the Column3 SUM returns merely the sum of all values in Column3.
    Did anyone come across this issue and found a workaround
    Thanks
    Jay

    no. cell sum actually ignores the calculation and just sums up the values in interactive also.
