Thanks for the reply! Darn it... I was following instructions but obviously not well enough. I completely missed the system option. DARN IT ALL TO HECK.

Any ideas on how I should proceed at this stage? I'd like to get that working, but not sure I feel like nuking it again. I will if I have to...I just don't want to volunteer for that! :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ytsejamer1:
I think I got the GPS going. I downloaded a GPS test app named, 'GPS Test' (It's not just a clever name!) from Google Play.

I turned it on and the TF101 found about five sats within a couple of minutes down to 30ft precision. I went back inside and opened my trusty dusty Accuweather app and it found my location via GPS without issue.

Not sure...but maybe it had to build its list first? I dunno. Regardless, I think its sort of working. I open Maps and it does find me, but it takes quite a bit longer than it normally did...even when in the house.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeathlessOne:
Sony may be introducing some calibration software for its new Xperia flagships, judging by the screenshot below. It shows that you will be able to separately adjust white balance, colour saturation and hue to get your screen just how you like it.

The setting was only found in the Sony Xperia ZL handset rather than the Xperia Z, but we see no reason why Sony wouldn’t release it for both handsets (that is, of course, if this feature makes it to consumer devices). It sounds like a useful feature, especially given how important the display is to any smartphone. Let’s hope this feature makes it to retail.

All of the sudden my sd card is making problems. when I try to take a picture with camera, and my storage is set up on SD card, I got error message which says can save files to SD card. Also, I try to record some voice conversation and it failed to save that on SD card also. I try to format my sd card on phone bub problems happen again. Can anyone help me with this problem? Thanks in advance

N7100 has an itch with mmcs. It is too poor at it.

Mine had the same problem.

Remove sdcard and format it with someother phone and shutdown your note 2. Then insert mmc and boot and forma again.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mariosraptor:
Are you using the internal 2external modd? If yes set the saving location to "phone" which is actually your sdcard. I have only seen this when using the modd.

If you have any interest in how the water resistant Xperia Z is put together then the below video is a must-watch. It shows engineers constructing three Sony gadgets in just five minutes, this includes the Xperia Z, Cyber-shot RX1 and a Handycam camcorder.

The skill involved is immense as these guys slowly piece together a beautiful phone from a number of component parts. Click through for the video below (the Xperia Z is being shown on the bottom-left window of the video).

Youtube : Here
[Xperia Z General] Zerosuit Connor:
That's amazing. I wonder how many products those guys have put together to know how to do it so fast, fluid and precise.
[Xperia Z General] DeathlessOne:
Yes, have a look at Z.. It is fully covered by metal plates inside the chip so as to withstand water and dust damage!
[Xperia Z General] wawyed:
Just found this post hidden, awesome :D
[Xperia Z General] Bioschnitzel:
I think the metal plates are for cooling ;)
[Xperia Z General] alias_neo:
Brilliant video.

The plates could be for cooling but generally these type of plates are for shielding from Electromagnetic interference.

I'm curious about the fact that the back plate of the XZ is simply "pushed" on. Surely it can be removed and re-placed quite easily then?
[Xperia Z General] Bioschnitzel:
You are suprised? Thats the only way an unibody works. Its simple glued together.
[Xperia Z General] alias_neo:
Not surprised, I said curious. By glued do you mean it has sticky tape of some sort? I didn't see him remove any protective film from sticky tape or anything, so where is the adhesive?

EDIT: I just noticed there was a cut in the Xperia video just before he applied the back cover so I assume t hat's where I removed the protective film from the adhesive tape or similar.
[Xperia Z General] Bioschnitzel:
The video is cutted ;)

I dont know how it is glued, but thats the only way and this method is used in many smartphones.
[Xperia Z General] abd_alazeez2002:
I couldn't look away from rx1, it is a master pieces.

I think Sony really consider manufacturing and assembling process
[Xperia Z General] cheetah2k:
The adhesive is very similar to what is used in car windscreens.. Using a hair dryer, you can heat and soften it and then remove the glass if damaged. As this phone is IP57, hopefully spare glass panels will come with new adhesive.

Hello

A couple of questions about how handwriting recognition works for the 10.1:

i) Is it available for all apps, i.e. handwriting recognition can be selected for any app which has keyboard input?

ii) Assuming your handwriting isn't a scrawl, how good is the recognition, (e.g. how does it compare to Windows 7/8 tablets)?

Thanks for any feedback
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoss_n2:
Yes it can be enabled in any app that support kekeyboard input, and comparing it to other w8/7 tablets i havent tried them but handwriting recognition works perfect, fast and never faild to recognize my writing also i have a bad hand writing
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
I can be pretty slack with my handwriting and it works pretty good with a 95% accuracy rate. The 5% it doesn't, I'd have trouble reading if I hadn't wrote it then and there...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schnurrbidurr:
This doesn't really help the OP, but I thought I might as well stick my question under the same header.

In the keyboard setting is a tick box for "change to handwriting recognition when Spen is detected" and I'm wondering how it's implemented as I have not noticed anything happening. I always have to change the keyboard manually. Wether I remove the pen or use my spare one. Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sphere314:
I've tried and it somewhat works... but with varying results.

It surely doesn't work instantly (as one would expect). That is, if you have your keyboard out and you pull out the pen the keyboard doesn't change automatically and instantly from "typing mode" to "handwriting mode".

In a simple text editor (as Jota text editor) it works this way: if you have the pen out and you tap on the note as to insert new text, the type of keyboard is hw recognition. Then you put the pen in its slot (the keyboard stays out and doesn't change), close the keyboard (the keyboard disappears) re-tap on the note to write something else and the keyboard popping out is now the classical typing keyboard. The reverse also works.

In some other apps this behavior is not replicable. Maybe because these other apps "remember" (in the cache?) the last type of keyboard used and this overwrites Samsung "pen-detection" function.

Anyway there's a wonderful (and genial) app that automatically and instantly changes the keyboard (i.e. from the samsung stock one to another choosen one, i.e. some keyboard more advanced for traditional typing) with the pen's pulled out or in. It's called SPenBoard Switcher. The link is here.

(Unfortunately it's necessary to have a rooted device to install it...)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schnurrbidurr:
Thanks for your explanation. I didn't expect it to work instantly, I just never noticed it doing anything at all. But then again, I rarely use the attached pen, but one of those bigger ones. I will definitely give the suggested app a go.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uftherr:
Hello,

i've bought the Nexus 7 32 GB 3G about two weeks ago and am sick of the stock rom. I want to install the Slim Bean rom, but before I do that, I'd like to back up my data. As my device is not rooted, I tried to use the Nexus 7 Root Toolkit to backup everything, but when it sais "waiting for the device to reboot", nothing happens. Same problem with the Nexus 7 Toolkit, except it sais "waiting for adb".

Can anyone tell me how to root it? And is it possible to only backup the app's stats and settings (like Temple Run stats) without the data?

And my second problem is that the Nexus 7 won't boot into recovery mode. I've pressed the vol up, vol down and powerbutton for about 2 mins but nothing happened...

Well, thanks in advance!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killall:
Probably a silly question, but do you have the correct drivers and ADB installed on your PC?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uftherr:
I think so... At least the program said that they are installed.
[Xperia Z General] DeathlessOne:
Sony Chief Executive Kazuo Hirai has confirmed recent reports that the company will be targeting flagship smartphones over entry-level models. Speaking to Bloomberg, he said that “we basically are out of the feature-phone business and in the Android-based smartphone business. We are more in toward the high end of the market as opposed to trying to get into the commoditized portion.”

“We need to have products that wow people, move people emotionally,” Hirai said. He went on to say that this focus on high-end models could help to turn the mobile business into a profit driver for the company. “That’s why we are in this business, and that’s why we invested heavily in the business. I believe we still have a lot of room to grow,” Hirai said.

Sony Mobile is currently forecasting to sell 34 million units in the year ending 31 March and sold 8.8 million handsets in the three months to September 2012. Hirai has increased research & development for smartphones, which should deliver higher margins going forward if executed successfully.

However, analyst views remain mixed on Sony’s chances of catching up. “Hirai’s plan to move the unit into profits seems to be a pipe-dream. Competition in high-end smartphones is only going to get tougher,” said Amir Anvarzadeh from BGC Partners. Another analyst, Hideki Yasuda, from Ace Securities said “it’s going to be hard for Sony to catch up. Still, the market is expected to continue growing, and that will probably enable Sony to boost sales.”

Hello everyone

First of all: YES I have watched the video of terms... over and over again (I just love it :D) but I didn't find a thread solving my problem.

I am quite new to all this and I probably made a big mistake while unlocking my Sensation.

I've unlocked it via HTCdev (everything cool... easy to do). After that I wanted to s-off my device with Juopunutbears method failing at wireing the device. After several tries I decided to keep the s-on and try to unlock it another day... but now I was stuck to the Juopunutbear splash-screen. After reading some threads I decided to work over it using a boot.img to get the splash-screen away (BIG MISTAKE - now you can call me a noob 4 sure :silly:) I was stuck at the white HTC screen. I tried to undo my mistake using the jb_boot.img. Now I've got my JB splash-screen back but that's where it all ends. I tried to s-off again but my device is all bored of me handling the wrong stuff.

Anybody have an idea how to get back to stock or to s-off from my position ?

Ether way - It didn't work. I tried several boot.img and the -r command... Useless.

But now I FINALY GOT MY PHONE BACK... :victory:

This is how I made it: I don't know.... !!!!!! :confused:

I've worked myself throung different guides about 100 times.

The ROM that rescued me was the "HTC Revolution HD" (It was the ONLY ROM my phone wanted to flash).

After flashing that ROM I was able to get my phone back, s-off, overwrite the cid and do anything else I wanted to.

After all that I used the newest RUU and rooted it. Now it's runing perfect.

Thanks to all the Guides posted here - they ALL helped a bit. :good:

Hello everyone,

I just recently bought Nexus 7 32gb and after seeing words of games being able to play with gamepad I wanted to buy something but still not sure which would work.

I am NOT gonna root my device, so I'd like some help/suggestion about what can I buy as a gamepad for my Nexus 7. Doesn't matter wired or wireless.

Although I have a wireless X360 controller for PC, not sure if it works, though.

I use a wired PC XBox 360 controller and it works great. I'd like to get a bluetooth controller so that I can charge my device while I'm gaming. During a long session of Dead Trigger, it can chew through quite a bit of battery.

There is also the possibility that the handset will be carried by one of the major Italian carriers. The price point shouldn’t come as a surprise, as we already know that this is the price confirmed in both Germany and France. Expect a similar price across most states in Europe.

The Sony Xperia ZL has a notification light, which Sony has emphasised in some of the press photos that were released. Whilst the notification light is quite small, it has a nifty LED that actually changes colour depending on what content is showing on screen. It works in a very similar way to the Xperia U, but as the Xperia ZL light is so small, the effect is much more subtle. Nonetheless it is a nice effect and you can see it in action in the video below.

I think your bootloader is locked. You can check it by doing this steps:

open the dialler and enter *#*#7378423#*#* to access the service menu.

In your phone, tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlocked says No, then try to unlock it here. Else, your bootloader is unlocked, and the error is other.
