Z2 issue with gremlins

Cafn8menow — Sat, 10 Jan 2015 10:05:50 GMT

I started to have gremlins so I performed a factory reset to see if it was due to an app. After factory reset still gremlins, after uninstalling all factory installed apps I still have gremlins 😞

First noticed gremlins when using XC Soar flying app with bluetooth connection to Blyflyvario (been working fine plenty of times), then in mid flight while paragliding the phone started running google apps and shutting them down, minimising screen and maximizing screen and just doing weird things. It got so bad I couldn't keep XCsoar app maximised during flight and it just kept doing it.

SO after that flight it keeps doing strange things, typing an sms the cursor jumps all over the place and types in random places in the message and then selects words automatically even after typing 1 letter. The phone is totally unusable.

I just switched the sim to my old Xperia ion and now have to use that.

It is a Telstra supplied unit in Australia, what do I do? Take it back to where I bought it?

I knew it, you are not supposed to feed your Xperia Z2 after midnight and you probably pour water on it, Gremlins. Is it gizmo or the other gremlins?

Definitely gismo at this stage as no water issues and the phone hasn't tried to destroy anything else. Found my receipt so off to the store today for warranty
