Device may be monitored ?? - Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
I just noticed that on my Z3+ I have got a warning saying 'network may be monitored'. Once I click that I get "This device is managed by null"
My question is does anyone else have the same warning and if I should be worried ??
Thanks

I got that when I tried repairing my phone through the Sony Companion software. After seeing that, I just performed a normal factory reset and that went away. No clue what it is, but it's not there anymore.

Really? That's awfully strange. You're getting it in the pull down/notification drawer right? Mine was on the bottom of the shortcuts.

That's exactly where it is. I don't know if I should be worried incase my device it's actually monitored. It's says it's managed by null :/

Is the notification something serious ?? I tried to disabling the myxperia but still I seem to have it. It would take forever to do the PC repair and then to get all the apps back. I am just wondering if there is other way around it or I should just stop waring about it.

I'm thinking it's nothing to be worried... I wanted to do a reset bc phone has been a little inconsistent for me...also I'm OCD and hated seeing the words on drop down...

Imagine a thief holding your phone. 'Device may be monitored' is there to make him worried, not you ! Still you can deactivate the protection & then repair to get rid of it. But it's not worth the hassle IMO

Thanks very much. I think in that case I will hold off on resetting the phone one again. I have done it before but at the time I didn't know it was Myxperia and I ended up selecting it again.

Never looked at it that way. That will for sure make him give the phone back or at least try to return it. :good:

I had this on my Z4 Tablet too.
The fix is to factory reset the device and set up the Google account AFTER the initial setup wizard, not during.
P

I get the same message on my Moto X 2013, whenever I connect to a VPN. I think it's a 5.0 thing.

I get that too...

I've heard it has something to do with myXperia.... I've also heard of factory resets fixing it...

People ... You get this message after installing a custom CA certificate, eg. the one of the company you work for. Do you use WiFi with certificates or VPN? Then you've installed a custom CA certificate.

Just used Sony PC Companion to update to 28.0.A.8.251 and it fixed this and didn't loose any of my settings/data.
I had used My Xperia in the past and but had turned it off before updating.
I don't know if it is fixed in the update, or just the process of updating with my xperia turned off reset whatever was causing it to show.

[Q] Wiered Xperia T bootloop issue

OK, so I was having issues with CM11 where once my Xperia t had booted I would just about have the chance to unlock the screen, mess about with it for about 30 seconds and then reboot. So I thought OK CM is obviously just a bit buggy and it was a nightly anyway plus it would really eat my battery, so I made the decision of flashing back to pure stock firmware (4.3 9.2.A.1.205) I told flashtool to format just about everything (APPSLOG, CACHE, DATA, PARTITION (internal storage), KERNEL, FOTA and SYSTEM). After doing so, I setup my phone (went through the setup wizard, logged into google, downloaded some apps etc.) and about 10 Mins later the same thing happened that happened on CM (successful boot, unlocked screen did a few things and it crashed again). So then I was confused.
I've tried several other ROMS (Liquid Smooth, Pure AOSP, PureXT (custom sony ROM), all have the same problem so the issue seems to be persistent. So I assumed it must be a hardware problem (i.e. putting pressure on CPU causes phone to reboot) but my phone doesn't crash or do anything strange when I'm in recovery, I can successfully complete backup and restore operations that take about 10 Minutes give or take.
I have also relocked/unlocked the bootloader several times, no difference
So basically the bottom line is this is a really strange problem that appears to be persistent with any rom, I couldn't find anyone with the same issue (quick google search and a search under the XDA Q&A thread for this phone didn't seem to return anything similar). So I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced something similar or can help me because I'm really confused .
Help would be much appreciated Thanks.

You already did everything should be done for trying to solve this kind of issues.
It seems your hardware is broken....
Lock your bootloader and try to repair using your warranty if you have one

Yeah I suppose a hardware problem is the only thing that makes sense, I just wasn't sure since Recovery still works but I guess recovery doesn't fully utilise the phones resources. My warranty is out of date (Had the phone for about 15 months now) guess I should probably start saving up for a Z2
Thanks for your help

Since you don't have warranty anymore, you could try to replace the battery with a new one before changing phone...
There have been so many broken batteries with this device... Just an idea...

Hi
Yes I think it may either be the battery or the CPU because under light use the phone is (kind of) fully functional, it only seems to happen when it is processing a lot and gets warm. This would probably explain why it doesn't reboot in recovery.
But yes it would be worth getting another battery for it since a new one is only about £15 on UK Amazon so thanks for the heads up.
Before you get a battery can you try open Emma please, it may not help but may do, I've explained how to change a battery in another thread have a look around

Hey I'm back,
Just got my battery come through and the problem still exists, my best bet is that there is probably an issue with the battery terminals and probably something beyond repair.
So I think with that I'm officially declaring this phone DEAD .
Thanks for your help any ways guys, I'm probably gonna wrap up this thread now.

Screen Dead--any way to backup and wipe via PC?

Just like another user on the forum, I have a dead screen and solid blue LED always on. Is there a way to use ODIN or some other software to access the phone data via computer to backup data and also wipe? Phone is bone stock.
Thanks!!
You can try to use sidesync on the PC to connect to the phone and display it's screen on the pc to control it that way...
That would be awesome but wouldn't I need access to the phone to install sidestep and run it before I could control the phone from my pc?

Hello android geniuses! My cousin has this exact same problem right now, I came here as a last resort looking for a solution.
He broke his screen and lcd while drunk and he has insurance, but is worried about sending the phone in to be fixed/replaced because he has incriminating texts about buying drugs etc on the phone.
Is there a way to factory reset the phone with the screen broken?
My sonly uggestion atm is to reboot into recovery and try to factory reset based upon copying the button presses of a youtube video. He does not have usb debugging enabled and we can't even manage to explore his files through windows.
Thank you if you even read this, I am super grateful for any suggestions
Edit: We factory reset the phone through android device manager. OP, that might be your best bet too mate.

Maybe you can try installing sidesync through the google play store on a PC, but I don't know how you'd open the app. Maybe there's a way to use adb?

6.0.1 Changes for LG G Watch R

So my watch updated last night, and now I am trying to figure out all the changes.
I see that we have new gestures. I don't really use them, so Meh.
I also see that my battery projection jumped from 50 hours to 3 days, so that I freaking awesome if it pans out.
Anyone see anything else?

I think Google's reason was: "Why? Because F**k you, thats why!" It also baffles me that they still haven't incorporated custom canned responses to declined phone calls; you are stuck with the default ones even though you set up custom ones on the phone - the reason was probaby the same as the reboot omisson.

Have you tried 'Unpair with phone'? To me that sounds like it would do a factory reset since an unpaired watch is basically useless.
Big change
Hi all,
Also got marshmallow, and biggest change for me is that it won't pair with phone. It comes up alright, and after accepting the Bluetooth code the phone wear app says "couldn't connect with ...". I tried factory resets (via unpair phone setting item), fresh install of wear phone app, and what not - still no luck.
Will try to downgrade and see if that helps.
Yours,
Christian

From what I understand factory reset is "Unpair with phone" now, as when you select it asks: "are you sure you want to unpair and factory reset watch.
Interesting thing, is the new Reminders app, doesn't seem to work it asks to update android wear on phone when I open it, but nothing happens.

I replied to you in the other thread but will post here as it may be useful to others..
I have the same issue. After OTA , i factory resetted and now it will not pair. I get "failed to pair...." I have tried multiple resets and cleared the data on the android wear app but no joy. I have gone back to 5.1.1 using the first post of the factory image thread. I was able to flash boot.img and system.img but recovery.img failed due to a partition error. Now everything is working again. Paired and synced on first attempt.

I also went back to 5.1.1 and things now work again - recovery flash also worked.
Seems the problem is really on the phone end. I have a Nexus 4 with "Fake stock" ROM (marshmellow). I could get the watch to pair with my Nexus 7 running stock 6.0..1 and that paired just fine. I also see other problems with the same Nexus 4 ROM with other bluetooth devices - e.g., my Jabra Tag II bluetooth audio RX/TX. I've posted on the ROM bug report forum.
My watch gives an error about a muted microfone although the mike is enabled everywhere in the settings where possible.
" Microfone disabled, waiting for injected audio."
Any suggestions?
Edit: Also the screen goes off after some time although I haven't enabled it anywhere?
Maybe I'll just reset it...
The biggest change for me - now we have native vibration when the watch disconnects (on connects) ... it was about f'in time ...

I also have nexus 4 running Chroma MM. I will wait for OTA again and this time I wont factory reset to see how it goes
Manually updated mine to 6.0.1 using adb and now my iPhone (9.3 beta3 and latest android wear app) constantly looses connection. Have to pair as new device, restarting phone and/ or watch won't help.
Does anybody experience the same?
Might have to go back to 5.1.1 ...

Hmm, well thats a disappointing. The removal of the reboot and reset is moronic and the new gestures are useless.
For the most part I cant get them to work, and even if I could why would I want to look like I was a nutter because I was randomly flapping my arm around trying (usually unsuccessfully) to control my damn watch?
delete me

At least once a week I go to use my phone and it will not turn on? I have to hit the power and volume down to reboot the phone. It's getting worse and worse does anyone know why this is happening. I tried to search I didn't see anything. I am on Att and stock.

I am sure you tried factory reset already? I had a few in phones in the past do that. Usually was a bad battery. When did it all start? How old is phone? Any apps you install and it started doing this?
Leaning more towards you will need to ship in for a warranty with Samsung.

This is my 2nd phone the first one got screwed up with a update. I have had this one for about 4 months and it just started doing it about a month ago. Now it has done it 3 times this week. Once just now and it happens on the charger and off the charger. It has made me late waking up twice. I haven't done a phone restore yet and I haven't installed any new apps.

Sorry didn't read right tired ha. Black screen usually sign of bad screen. Got mixed up and thought it was restarting on it's on. If there was no apps that caused it. You didn't mess with any settings? Said your stock.
If none of the solutions others suggest soon don`t work. I'd go for a factory reset last resort. Worst case you will have to ship again to Samsung sadly

That's concerning. I take it most people with same situation as yours, shipped into sammy? Sucks you gotta go through this bs again maybe.
Just as suggestion, but if you use AOD try turning it off and and see if this fixes the problem.
I had this problem with Ironman ROM and turning off AOD fixed the problem.

Hi,
If you can't reboot your device to fix black screen problem, you can try FoneLab broken android phone data extraction to fix it.
Download and install the program on your computer, and then connect device to computer.
Then you can scan, select and recover data with a few clicks.

Random reboots and bootloops

Once and and while my Pixel 5 reboots and gets stuck in a bootloop. It happens while I listen to music with YouTube Music on a bluetooth ear phones or search for updates on the Play Store or nothing at all. I have no idea what is causing this.
I suspect one app called ProCall Mobile but I can't really test for two reasons: 1st it happens to randomly, weeks without one, than two in a row, than nothing for a month, or for few days, 2nd I need the app for my job and can't just remove it for testing.
I'm really annoyed by this, I also can't reset the phone because of reasons. Any ideas how can I narrow it down?
Sounds like something is causing a kernel panic, and it's hard to say what. The best thing I could really recommend is a complete factory reflash, but that requires an unlocked bootloader. I believe there may be a way to use ADB and USB Debugging to get a log dump, but I have no idea how to do that or how to read it.

Nope. If it's your phone, you don't have to keep any app on it. I have never experienced bootlooping or forced reboot on P5. Ask them for a work phone or tablet. It's not like old phones are expensive.

Also nope. You can back the entire phone up on google, data reset and reinstall everything.
Try force stop and clear cache in app.
Uninstall reinstall app.
Remove all unused apps.
Check Battery Usage
Go to Dev Options and turn on System Tracing and other debuggin features. I highly doubt you will be able to figure it out from there, but it may help others.
